How to Coach Yourself and Others Better Coaching Through Visualisation | Page 252

Mind, finite and infinite, is eternally creative and creating in the organization of formless matter and material forces into concrete realities. The Klamath Philosophy Says Max Müller in his “Psychological Religion”: “The Klamaths, one of the Red Indian tribes, believe in a Supreme God whom they call ‘The Most Ancient One,’ ‘Our Old Father,’ or ‘The Old One on High.’ He is believed to have created the world—that is, to have made plants, animals and man. But when asked how the Old Father created the world, the Klamath philosopher replies: ‘By thinking and willing.’” How Men Get Things We get what we desire because the things we desire are the things we think about. Love begets love. The man who is looking for trouble generally finds it. Despair is the forerunner of disaster, and fear brings failure, because despair and fear are the emotional elements attendant upon thoughts of defeat. Behind every thing and every act is, and always has been, thought— thought of sufficient intensity to shape and fashion the physical event. Mind, and mind alone, possesses the inscrutable power to create. Your career is ordered by the thoughts you entertain. Mental pictures tend to accomplish their own realization. Therefore, be careful to hold only those thoughts that will build up rather than tear down the structure of your fortunes. Prerequisites to Achievement Creative imagination is an absolute prerequisite to material achievement. 252
