it was 59 almost 60 years ago it be 60 years this year that I picked this book up and almost from the beginning it just snapped it grabbed my attention and if there's any mother or father out there who has a teenager or a young person in their early 20s and you just think they're never going to wake up um keep believing in them because my mother kept believing in me and I gave her all kinds of reason to think that I was never going to straighten out but when I got that book it wasn't
just the book it was Ray Stanford Ry um he indicated and he demonstrated that he had a belief in me that was way beyond the belief that I had in myself and as I got into this book and studying the idea that the book contains and the idea is that there's a very big you locked up inside your spiritual DNA is perfect there is perfection within you and you are truly God's highest form of creation and I don't care how much you've messed up in the past you can change all that now I'm going to
be talking today about the laws and I want to suggest that you study the laws of the universe and and and then make up your mind you're going to live in harmony with these laws now I'm not going to go through all the laws I will touch on each one of them to let you know you know what the laws are but there's one law I'm going to focus on and um has a lot to do with what's going on in the world today and hopefully it will help you um see it from a totally
different perspective it's um it's a matter of thinking we really must begin to think I remember working with your Lil you may have heard me quot him before and I've quoted him so often and he said you know if most people said what they were thinking they would be speechless now when you hear that you say well everybody thinks do you know the God's truth is that hardly anyone does I want you to think about this really think re don't just take this as some slick line Dr Ken McFarland said 2% of the people think
3% think they think and he said 95% would rather die than think Henry Ford said that thinking was the hardest work there is which is the probable reason so few people engage in it most people do not think now if you doubt me um stop and think of some of the people you know would they do what they're doing if they were thinking would they I don't think so listen to most conversations that are going on when they say what they were saying and there were thinking if they had even the basic basic understanding of
how the mind functions I'm quite certain that they would never say or do what they're doing now I want to suggest that we learn to control the flow learn to control the flow of this thought energy and let it flow freely to and through US improving everything um that we come in contact with you see this power that's flowing through us it's it's an infinite power and it has no Direction it just is we were given the mental faculties that gives it Direction now hopefully as I go through this you'll understand that a little better
but we want to learn to control the flow of the energy coming to and through us now I want you to look at the mind and look at paradigms you you know your Paradigm is probably a big problem for you it is for me the Paradigm is that that program in our subjective mind that's literally controlling our behavior and we've got to take control away from it you see somebody else somebody else made that Paradigm we didn't make it somebody else wrote the code for the paragram that's controlling our life in in some cases it
was previous generations going right back to your great-grandparents now when you look at how we're living today and stop and think I remember my great grandmother and grandfather Grandpa and Grandma Graham they were dear old souls and I was a little kid I used to go see them I had all my grandfathers and all my grandmothers were all alive at one time and well I was here and um you know when I think of some of the things that they would they would be shock they would think they hit a different planet if they were
alive today well a lot of their thinking is programmed right into our mind so look at your mind and look at paradigms now no one knows what the Mind looks like there's no one alive no one has ever seen the mind all we see is expressions of the Mind the manifestation of the Mind see mind is movement body is the manifestation of that movement this lecturn here that you can't see because of the slide um it's it's stuff it's a thing but at one time it was nothing but thought energy this book at one time
was nothing but thought energy and it was transferred into a book The Studio that I'm in at one time it was just thought energy but now it's a studio well I started to study the mind when I get into this heill talked about the mind in here talked about the subconscious mind and I read all kinds of books books all kinds of books on it but it was like I had ideas all over the place and I couldn't I couldn't really understand it I never really I never understood it until I came across the drawing
I'm going to show you here Val vanderwell showed me this he gave me this he uh he changed my life with this drawing now this this is Dr thruman Fleet Way Back 1934 the year I was born I know you find it f to leave I'd still be alive if I was born in 1934 but that's the year I was born and and Dr thruman fleet was very involved in The Healing Arts and very involved in holistic health he really understood the spiritual side of our personality and how it becomes the physical side and all
that and he said that the mind is not a thing mind is an activity and nobody's ever seen the mind so he said one of the great problems we have is we're uh treating symptoms um as if it's the cause of the problem and we do that in almost everything in her life because we don't really see what's going on inside so he says I'm going to draw a picture of the mine and this is the picture he drew and then he took the big circle and divide it into two parts he said that will
represent the mind and the small circle will represent the body now you've probably heard me go through this before but I've been through this a million times you cannot go through this too often if I was looking at you or watching you if I was communicating with you I would have your head in two parts and I would be the mine everything from the neck down plus your face would be your body and I I would be studying you very closely I want to know what's going on inside if I'm communicating with you I want
to know why you're doing what you're doing why would you say that why would you do that not judging just trying to understand how could that be why would that happen and you use this drawing to help you with that now he said there's the conscious mind the subconscious and the body now without question I said you know it's been almost 60 years this is the most valuable idea in all our time you know Alfred Edler Saidi grateful to the idea that is used me well I'm grateful to this idea I can assure you I'm
grateful to it now let's take a look at how it works and this is very important for the this this is just the base I'm just this is just helping us understand what it is I want to share with you today the conscious mind the subconscious and the body now the conscious mind is your thinking mind that's the part of you that thinks you have a faculty in there that can think and we've got to learn to use this facc fa and most of us don't we're not taught about it we're not taught about the
faculties of the mind you see this is the educated mind the educated mind is U it's it's what the school really loads up for us you see we got to fix that slide too and that's where intellect is resident and then the the subconscious is the emotional mind now the emotional mind is um I've just figured out what happened Scott this you made the slide bigger and that's thrown it all off maybe you'll have to take it back to where it was if you could do that now because I'm a little lary what's going to
happen with all the font in the future if you could take the slide back we we we created we made the slide a little bigger in uh in preparing this and that's what's throwing the fonts off they go with the slide at any rate okay you bring that back up well he not doing it but anyway the subconscious mind is the emotional mind and the conscious mind is uh gives Direction now the subconscious mind has no ability to reject information it has no ability to reject it must accept whatever you give to it it cannot
reject now this is an important part the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between what is real and what's imagined it cannot differentiate scottt I think we're going to have to take the time and the audience I'm going to ask you to bear with us if you would make that slide the way it was right when we started before we made it larger and I think as you turn that if you T that slide back the way it was you're going to find the font all fall in place I'm almost certain well I guess it won't it's
either way it's there that's okay let it go then all right now um let's go here for a moment here we are here we are being inundated today now we we we talked about we have the ability to choose we can choose we can think anything we want we're being inundated today through um social media um through other people uh Netflix um you know podcasts we're being inundated with information now we've got the ability to think when that information comes into our Consciousness we should ask ourselves do I really want to spend a lot of
time thinking about this it's terrible information we get all the statistics of how many people are dying in uh sou Falls Idaho um now should I care about this listen should I ignore it I should not ignore it but I should not dwell on it if there's something going on outside that I cannot control and it's very destructive and it's very negative I should not focus on it now that doesn't mean I ignore it but I'm just not going to focus on it and when that information comes at us and it's coming at us constantly
you turn on some news stations and that's all you're going to hear oh that's all you hear 24 hours a day I think what we should do is say get out of here and kick it out of our mind but we don't this is what we do we leave our mind open and that stuff goes goes right into our emotional mind and our subjective mind is taking that in and it's affecting every cell of our being why would we do that we do it because we're programmed to do it we're literally programmed to do it
it's our Paradigm how did that happen well close this for a moment look over here here you are as an infant whatever is going on around you goes right into your subconscious mind whatever is going on and that's how the paradigms form see the Paradigm is a multitude of habits that are fixed in our subconscious mind and you know I get the feeling I do pick up int intuitively a lot of people are saying well you just can't ignore Bob what what's happening in the world no you can't and I'm not ignoring it but what
I'm saying is you know all the great leaders all down through history have said we become what we think about when you get emotionally involved in information like that and and you stay emotionally involved it causes you physical problems first it causes you mental problems and those mental problems manifest in the physical body well we've been programmed to let the outside world control us all the great leaders all down through history all the religious leaders uh they have all told us we should be controlled from inside but we don't do that we let the outside
control us and that's rather sad and that's what the Paradigm is it's a multitude of habits multitude of habits habits you know they're programmed into our subconscious mind that control our habitual Behavior almost all of our behavior is Habitual so that's sort of sad but that's the way it is now let's think for a moment let's take a look at the natural laws of the universe now I'm just going to touch on these and then we're going to come back and we're going to focus on one the natural first of all you can go and
study this anyway there is but one great law God is there's only two references to go to one's science and one's theology now at one time we thought science and theology were antagonistic the truth is they're really not they're very compatible as Dr Warner Von Bron said that the natural laws of the universe are so precise that we don't have any difficulty building spaceships we can send people to the moon and we can time the landing with a Precision of a fraction of a second he said these laws had to be set by someone and
he said after studying the spectacular Mysteries of the universe I've come to a firm belief in the existence of God so we're talking about either energy is or God is it just is it is neither positive or negative and as it flows into our Consciousness that it just is now that's that is the one great law then there's these laws subsidiary laws that go along with it there is the law of Perpetual transmutation what does that mean it means that Spirit or energy is always moving into form it's always moving if you Goot s a
break clear day you will see a cloud formation and if you stay there long enough you'll see from the cloud formation possibly water will come Andrew Carnegie said any idea that is held in the mind any idea that's held in the mind that's either feared or revered will begin at once to clothe itself in the most convenient and appropriate form available all the great leaders all through history have been complete in agreement that we become what we think about what are you thinking about that is what's moving into form in your life then we have
the laws the rest of them the law of relativity nothing's big or small except our thinking makes it so the room I'm in is not large or small it just is it's only going to be large or small if I compare it to somebody else now there's a cloak closet here in the studio if I were to compare it to the closet the where the coats are hung then this studio part would be very very big but if I compare compare this studio part let's say to the Ballroom in a hotel then this would become
very small every anything's relative nothing's big or small nothing's good or bad except our thinking makes it so so as we keep looking at these laws then you have the law of polarity now I'm just going to skip right by that because that's the one we're going to focus on today we're going to come back to that you also have the law of Rhythm the law of Rhythm everything's flow up and down es and flows the tide goes out the tide comes in the night follows the day you know the leaves come on the tree
the leaves fall off the tree and it's a love of rhythm you're going to have your bio rhythm you're going to be high and low intellectually emotionally and spiritually you're going to find days when you're just got all kinds of strength and there's other days you just sort of feel dragged out you could be on a low swing this affects everything in life the law of rhythm is very real we want to understand it then we have the law of gender the law of gender decrees that all seeds have adjust or an incubation period there's
a certain period of time must elapse before the seed moves into form the law of gender decrees you have to have both male and female to have anything both are present in everything and must be for anything to even exist now keep thinking I want you to really think about what I'm saying we're talking about the law of cause and effect that law where did he go the law of cause and effect I don't know what caused that anyway the law of cause and effect is a very very important law uh Emerson said it was
the law of laws for every cause there is an effect every effect there is a cause and you have a train of causation it's the image in your mind become the cause and the result you're getting the effect that's why James Allen he said we think in secret and it comes to pass our environment is but our Looking Glass and then we'll come we'll come back here now to the law of poity the law of poity is a very interesting concept ccept it truly is an interesting concept now let's look at it from this point
of view there's a power flowing into your Consciousness and there's you can make it negative or positive but get this when that power Flows In it's a thought power you can think you turn it into whatever you want now your Paradigm may be dictating what you're thinking it may control your perception of what's going on but as this that power flows in you think either you're thinking or you're let somebody else's thinking control what's going on in your mind okay now let's look here for a moment okay here we take a look at this power
here's an effective three-step strategy you know for staying in control of your life regardless of what happens now if you see down the bottom it's pretty small print you may not be able to see it this we give credit to Dr Bernard Beckwith Dr Bernard bre was a very good friend of mine and he gave me this I've used this so often this is a three-step process to staying in control regardless of what's happening in your life now there's a lot happening in your life and my life right now so we'll let this line represent
any situ sitation that might happen in your life the line represents any situation that might happen in your life now the law of polarity decrees everything is both bad and good in truth it's neither it just is so let's keep thinking now I want you to think the positive sign is the symbol for the good the negative sign is the symbol for the bad so we've got both the Bad and the good there in front of us now everything that's happened is going to fall in one category other the truth is everything just is everything
is nothing is bad or good except our thinking makes it so now stay with me if something's only a little bad when we mentally work our way around to the other side it's only a little good you see if it's just a little problem it's going to be fairly easy to solve and the opportunity in it will be small if you've got a big problem a big problem then the opportunity is going to be equally as big you see real sh business people are always looking for big problems to solve because the big problem gives
us a big opportunity it's the polar opposite of the same thing it has to be now stay with me here for a moment when anything happens here's the three-step process it is what it is accept it it's either going to control you or you're going to control it now I've been locked down here since sometime in I don't know middle of March I have not been in the car I haven't gone anywhere I am quarantined now I'm very fortunate because my studio is right here in my own piece of property this is I can just
wander out here and I do every morning around 5:30 so I take a look what's happening it is what it is accept it you're either going to control it or it's going to control you thank you Scott now let's take a look at number two number two harvest the good harvest the good keep thinking the more good you look for the more you're going to find God is good all the time so start looking for the good in this situation you may say well there just isn't anything there has to be there has to be
good in every situation if it's a big problem you're going to have trouble finding it possibly but it's there and number three forgive all the rest forgive it forgive means to let go of completely abandon abandon just let it go and the good will grow you see now stay with me here with those thoughts in mind I want you to go through this exercise that I'm going to show you here now there's power flowing in we're operating with an awareness there's a problem outside for every one of us I don't care where you're living there's
a problem outside what can you do about it well you can protect yourself from it as best you can that's what I'm doing that's why I'm staying quarantined I've not been to the store I haven't been anywhere I go from the house to the studio the studio to the house but it's all within a 50 foot walk of each other so you see that doesn't mean that I'm ignoring the problem I'm letting the people look after the problem know how to look after the problem I'm trusting in them okay I want to stay focused on
what is good what can I do how can I help and I've been putting this together and trying to show you that you can do what I'm doing you can do it now when this power flows into you you can think and you can think anything you want if you're going to use it the wrong way you're going to be in trouble we want to control the flow of the thought energy that's what we're talking about here we want to get it flowing freely to and through us okay now you've got a choice you can
look at the left at the negative or you can look at the positive but it is your choice it's a choice you make now on the left side is we say ignorance on the right side is the knowledge anything we don't understand we have a tendency to criticize or ridicule let's try and understand it let's try and understand you see when that power Flows in You can do one of two things you can understand it and take control or you can let the problem control you now if you let the problem control you if you're
going to read everything that's in the paper if you're going to listen to everything you hear on the news you're probably going to end up worrying you're probably going to end up doubting what are we going to do what are we going to do there a lot of people may be having financial problems right now I would imagine most people in restaurants are you know a lot of families but that doesn't mean we should doubt and worry now there is an answer I'm going to show you what happens when you stay locked in on that
polarity you have taken a power that flows in that has no form it's a creative power it's pure and adulterated spirit it's flowing into our Consciousness and we're building a negative idea then we turn it over to our emotional mind what did I say back when we showed you this first we said the subconscious mind has no ability to reject it is totally immoral it'll accept whatever you give it's like the earth I love the way Earl nigh Andale put it on this Strangest Secret record he said you can plant corn and right beside it
not a 16th of an inch away you can plant n shadeed deadly poison one will grow with just as great an abundance as the other the Earth doesn't care what your plant but it will grow what your plant your subconscious mind doesn't care what your plant but it will grow what your plant we have been given the responsibility of looking after our self now when you impress worry and doubt on your subconscious mind you set up an emotional state we refer to his fear now remember let's follow it it came into our Consciousness came in
we had a choice and we're weing and we take the worry and we turn over to subconscious we impress it upon the subconscious whatever is impressed must be expressed it expresses itself in as as anxiety now that anxiety is not expressed we don't we don't talk about it you know what we do with anxiety we suppress it we bottle it up inside now when you bottle and xiety up in this instrument of yours I'm going to tell you you're going to have problems in your body the body is not designed to contain that for any
period of time it just isn't the suppression then turns to depression when you keep it locked up that's where depression comes from the depression causes a physical thing called disase it's a body that's not at ease and the disease of course causes disintegration now why would a person do that we'll go right to the top of the problem here it's ignorance it's not understanding the mind it's not understanding themselves now I have spent since 1968 teaching this every day every day I study and attempt to teach it I've been studying it since 1961 but by
1968 I became so fascinated with this I had to go to work with Earl Nale I just had to go to work with the man I had been studying his material for so long and he enloy Conan they really got me locked up I was listening to Earl today he was talking about when the business gets into you you struggle if you're in the business until the business gets into you then there's no struggle this business is in me it's all it's going on in my mind all the time I've been working on it for
years now stay with me here faith based on understanding is the key to Freedom based on understanding let's look here what's the opposite of don't worry the the opposite of don't and worry is understanding that is the opposite of don't and worry how do you get understanding there is only one way and it's happening right now we're studying right now study is the only way to develop understanding Solomon was a very bright King he said in all you're getting get understanding let's understand what's going on let's understand what happens to us when we focus on
something as negative as what's going on in the world today it doesn't mean we ignore it it doesn't mean we say it's not there that is silly it is there but we do know that if we cannot change it what can we change we can only change oursel in fact you're the only the corner of the universe that you can change so we got to look after ourselves understanding leads to Faith which is the polar opposite of fear now think of this both faith and fear demand that you believe in something you can't see you
got to have faith that there's a power within you if you use your god-given faculties that you were blessed with that separates you from all of the rest of the animal kingdom if you use them the way they're designed to use you can keep yourself in very good shape it's kept me going for 86 years and I'm trusting is going to keep me going longer now that Faith manifests in what we call well on the physical level remember well where I said the anxiety suppressed well-being is not suppressed well-being is expressed and as you express
it and it's good what happens it accelerates it accelerates it grows why because you're in a creative state you're at ease we say Let it Flow freely to and through you because you're at ease and then you're creating we want to create greater good in our life that's really what we want to do now we have a choice we can go that way or we can go that way that is our choice now some people don't know that they don't know that they have a choice they honestly believe the world has given them a bad
deal some of them blame God remember the author that said God feeds every bird but he won't put food in their nest you were given mental faculties if you develop those mental faculties and start to understand your relationship with your God you're going to find that you could live a pretty good life you don't need to stay there you can move over onto this side now I'm not saying I know all the is to know about this I certainly don't I know quite a bit I know a lot but I don't know everything we've got
to study we've got to SK your study we've got to understand the Paradigm the role of Paradigm is playing in our life it's a mental program that has almost exclusive control over our habitual behavior and almost all of our behavior is Habitual so think really think now let's look at this here's this power there's information it's coming at us everywhere you look and we have the ability to think let's say I do not want to discuss this I don't want to sit and dwell on it I'm not going to ignore it but I do not
want to just sit and read about it I'd rather read something good I'm going to tell it to go away I do not want to do this my Paradigm would have me do this I did not want to do it I understand that I was programmed as a child that's how the Paradigm was formed I was literally programmed to let the outside world control me go by what I see here smell taste touch but that's not a way to live we have these higher faculties and we should develop them but here way most people today
are doing much the same as they did when they were children that's the way they were born now there's the record I would recommend you go online go online get the recording The Strangest Secret without question that is the that is that is one of the 40 of minutes of the most phenomenal philosopher you're ever going to listen to that's what he told me he said don't talk about your health unless you're talking to a doctor that's what most people want to talk to you about is their health don't talk to a do Health unless
you're talking to a doctor that is a phenomenal recording I got this first and then I got that record and it is led to all the books I have I have a huge library in the house as well as in the studio I've associated with people all over the world I work with people that are really touch in touch with this now listen you you have phenomenal Powers you have the ability to create the life that you really want you can create the life you really want to live how do you want to live see
this is where we take our pen and write down exactly what we want to happen to us how do we want to live how do we want to think what do we want to have going on inside we can do it now I love Buck Minister Fuller he says you never change things by fighting existing reality you don't fight existing reality is you change things by building a new model that makes the existing model obsolete it's so true so good it's decision time folks that's what it is make a decision make a committed decision of
what you're going to do with the rest of your life and then I have found if you will bring discipline into your life is the ability to give yourself and command and follow it I was here this morning about 5:30 and I was doing my exercise in my left hand writing then I get into study and I get into to study some of a real stuff if you discipline yourself to study you're going to be in pretty good shape we're only limited by weakness of attention and Poverty of imagination that's the only limit we've got
weakness of attention give your attention to something that's going to cause you to move in the right direction I want to thank you for your attention first of all make up your mind right now you're never going to say again I have difficulty focusing I want you from now on to say I'm so happy and grateful now that I focus easily focus on the good I desire and that's where you want to go you have your gold card written out and you know that if you give the best you've got to what you're doing right
now then you're going to win you see the sand represents our life the sand in the in the top of the glass is the future we don't know how much is there in fact that's the way the way it is you don't know how much is there sand in the bottom of the glass is the past it's gone there's nothing you can do about all you can do and with is what right here right now that's all you've got is Right Here Right Now give the best you've got right here right now keep saying things
that mean good things to you get involved in selft talk odds are you're not going to do it perfect all the time you're going to you're going to get on the wrong track the trick is do it as often as you can you know Hill said write your goal on a card I've got a goal card in my pocket my goal is on the card when I read I read toward this end I don't just read just a read I read toward a particular end it's what's written on the card so if you keep your
eye on your goal and keep studying more often than not you're going to be on the right side of the Ledger and you will start and you will keep improving that and it'll keep getting better but don't expect to do everything perfect you're not going to do it first of all the Paradigm you've got somebody else built and it isn't going to take you down the right road all the time it's going to it take you around the right Road sometimes it's not all bad some of the Paradigm is good but don't let the Paradigm
control you if you will stay in control you'll be better out
