How This Book Can Benefit You

Everyone dreams of riches, fame, power, and love. Some people's dreams burst into reality as if brought to fruition in another dimension—while others come to naught! The fulfillment of your hopes and dreams is not a matter of chance. Success in any undertaking is a result of the proper use of natural law. And the natural laws work whether our scientists have discovered them or not!

Men traveled over the water in boats for hundreds of years before Archimedes brought forth the concept of displacement of liquids which makes it possible for a boat to stay on the water. And in this modern world, some enlightened souls are using laws of the mind to achieve their hearts' desires—even though science is still unable to explain it.

How ESP Can Enrich Your Life

You can learn to experience another dimension of life through extra-sensory perception (ESP). This enforcement will bring new meaning and purpose to all areas of your existence. Yes, you can use it to gain health, wealth, power, true love, fame, or anything else you may desire. But its greatest value lies in the change it is certain to bring in your understanding of life. There are depths of meaning and experience far beyond the average man's imagination. The following pages will show you how to develop your extra-sensory powers and use them to attain new understanding and the ability to make your dreams come true.

8  How This Book Can Benefit You

Wonderfully positive experiences occur in the lives of normal people all over the world—every day. Many are spontaneous, but others happen because some of us are learning the elementary laws of another dimension. Your neighbor may be working the same natural laws that brought an ancient prophet to flatly state:

He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all of your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, lest you even strike your foot upon a stone.

This is not an idle dream of some starry-eyed mystic. It is a statement of UNIVERSAL LAW THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU!

Why This Book Is So Easy to Use

This book is not intended to be scientific or scholarly. It is designed for your use as a tool—to enable you to attain your heart's desires, and more besides! The examples used are from the ordinary lives of normal people. Most of them were obtained from individuals who are eager to share their experiences with others in the hope of bringing upliftment to all mankind. Many came from friends whose integrity is, to me, absolutely beyond question. There may be no incontrovertible scientific proof for any of these experiences—but they happened, and lives were enriched as a result!

We start with the assumption that you have never recognized a psychic experience in your own life. This puts you on the same footing with me when I first looked into the confusion of ideas about the next dimension. Then we will demonstrate to you that you already have some degree of ESP which you should be using every day. Next we set up a positive program for your development of ever-increasing ESP. All this is in the first chapter.

The remaining chapters develop the fine points of application of your new abilities to each major area of your life. No special...

How to

Develop Your ESP

An old man comes slowly down the street, tapping a white cane to guide his way. Your heart must go out to him in compassion. You have a tremendous advantage over him—you can see, but he can't!

Let's stop and think for a moment! A person with well-developed powers of ESP has much the same advantage over the average man that you have over the blind man. Look at this natural occurrence:

Al, I couldn't tell just anyone about this, the voice on my telephone blurted, but I know you'll understand. I was coming about sixty-five miles an hour on the Pasadena Freeway this afternoon, lost in thought. About a mile before the big blind curve I saw a vision of a terrible accident with twisted automobiles blocking the two left lanes. The scene was so vivid in my mind that I simply had to slow down. I coasted to about forty and moved over into the right-hand lane as I rounded the curve. Sure enough, there was the accident exactly as I had seen it! If it weren't for the vision, I'd have ploughed right into those wrecked cars and I'd be in the hospital or the morgue right now.

This is a simple example of a helpful psychic phenomenon. We will look at many more as we explore practical methods of harnessing this great realm of the unknown. But is the psychic realm really so unknown to you?

18  TABLE OF CONTENTS

You have already experienced many

psychic phenomena.

Where did your last idea come from? Where did it exist? What is its reality? Its substance? An idea is an intangible substance, a psychic phenomenon! It is an object in that fantastic realm which men call mind, or sometimes even soul. The actual process of thought is not understood by medical men, psychologists, or even philosophers; yet it is the means by which they ply their trades, and the means by which we all comprehend the many experiences of life.

Now you are properly introduced to the world of psychic phenomena. You can't say you have never had a psychic experience, because your very act of entertaining the idea is one! There are many uncommon or miraculous psychic experiences, but that is only a matter of degree. The psychic, or intangible, side of life is experienced by every living human, every day of his life, and we will do well to spend some time examining its many mysteries.

Legend tells us that Sir Isaac Newton sat under a tree contemplating a mystery. When an apple fell and hit him on the head, it supplied the missing stimulus. There was a moment of contact with reality, and Newton expounded the law of gravity. Similarly, Archimedes is said to have jumped out of the bathtub shouting, Eureka! upon subconsciously solving a problem. His contribution was the principle of displacement of water by immersed objects, which paved the way for the floating hunks of steel we call modern ships.

History records both events as milestones in science's march toward understanding of our universe. The principles seem obvious today, but only after some mind accomplished the original thinking. All progress is a series of steps best described as the unfolding of an idea, so in a very real sense, all progress is a result of the psychic. This means that the psychic is a sure means to improve your whole life.

Your five steps to personal success and greatness

A little self contemplation will prepare us for the simple five-step path to personal success and greatness. Let's pause for a brief look at the miracle that is you. You are much more than the little pile of chemicals which comprise your physical body.

A very real part of you can visit Paris, Sydney, Venus, or the moon while your physical body reclines comfortably in your own living room. You are capable of heights of ecstasy and depths of despondency not experienced by any other species of earth creature, and yet you know less about yourself than about the automobile which transports your body from place to place.

Modern man is a fantastic paradox of wasted potential and pathetic ignorance, boundless love and tender compassion, desolate insecurity and murderous frustrations, mental agility and physical adaptability; all embarked on the journey of life toward he knows not where!

We squander vast amounts of energy seeking things. Automobiles, television sets, new furniture, and fancy clothes may bring us creature comforts, but they can never deliver that precious intangible we call inner satisfaction. Your deepest inner hungers can be fed only by your personal experience of the miracle which is your inner self. Then you can handle the physical world easily. It is exactly as Jesus taught it, all those years ago: Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matt. 6:33.)

And where did the Master say to look for it? Within yourself, of course! It's hard to argue with a man who demonstrated so much spirituality along with so many varieties of ESP, so let's consider his advice instead. Let this set the tone for our approach to the five-step path to personal success and greatness. Briefly stated, the five steps are:

20    How to Develop Your ESP

Increase your awareness of yourself and the world around you.

Recognize your present psychic strengths and potentials.

Use regular exercises to develop your ESP.

Learn to contact powers greater than yourself for guidance and help.

Apply your ESP to improve and enrich every department of your life.

We will go into the first three steps in detail in the balance of this chapter. Since the 4th step is also an application of what you will learn from the first three, it will be covered in Chapter 2. Then we will devote the rest of our space to the details of application for the enrichment of each area of your life, and explanations of the wonderfully positive results you can obtain.

How to Increase Your Awareness of

Yourself and the World Around You

The owner of a small service company was so wrapped up in his business problems that he could think of nothing else. Any conversation of a cultural or purely social nature made him quite uncomfortable. He developed the habit of interrupting everyone with lengthy discourses on the problems of his daily business operations. Thus, he effectively prevented any possible broadening of his personality or outlook. Because he shut out everything he might have had in common with them, he lost his wife and family. He wound up with not one friend who wasn't some sort of business necessity. His company grew, and the business world might call him a success; but he died a lonely, broken man.

How can you have the business or professional success you desire, but avoid the pitfall this man fell into? Or is it possible at all? Of course it is! But it requires the sincere application of yourself to the development of our first tool. We will call it relaxed awareness.

laxed awareness, but the rewards are great. This is one of the most useful of all mental disciplines. Each of us has two aspects of mind: the conscious, reasoning part which
