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.
