“Sleep conceals the creative act while the objective world reveals it. In sleep man impresses the subconscious with his conception of himself.”

“Sleep is the time when the male or conscious mind turns from the world of sense to seek its lover or subconscious self.

The subconscious — unlike the woman of the world who marries her husband to change him — has no desire to change the conscious, waking state, but loves it as it is and faithfully reproduces its likeness in the outer world of form.

The conditions and events of your life are your children formed from the molds of your subconscious impressions in sleep. They are made in the image and likeness of your innermost feeling that they may reveal you to yourself.”

“Sleep is the time when the male or conscious mind turns from the world of sense to seek its lover or subconscious self.”

“Sleep, the life that occupies one-third of our stay on earth, is the natural door into the subconscious.

The conscious two-thirds of our life on earth is measured by the degree of attention we give sleep.”

“The conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious; the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them.”

“The creative process is first imagining and then believing the state imagined. Always imagine and expect the best.”

“The dominant of two feelings is the one expressed. 'I am healthy' is a stronger feeling than 'I will be healthy'.

To feel 'I will be' is to confess 'I am not'. 'I am' is stronger than 'I am not'.

What you feel you are always dominates what you feel you would like to be; therefore, to be realized the wish must be felt as a state that is rather than a state that is not.”

“The feeling which comes in response to the question 'How would I feel were my wish realized?' is the feeling which should monopolize and immobilize your attention as you relax into sleep.

You must be in the consciousness of being or having that which you want to be or to have before you drop off to sleep.”

“The subconscious accepts as true that which you feel as true, and because creation is the result of subconscious impressions, you, by your feeling, determine creation.”

“The subconscious does not originate ideas but accepts as true those which the conscious mind feels to be true and in a way known only to itself objectifies the accepted ideas.

Therefore, through his power to imagine and feel and his freedom to choose the idea he will entertain, man has control over creation.

Control of the subconscious is accomplished through control of your ideas and feelings.”

“The subconscious does serve man and faithfully gives form to his feelings.

However, the subconscious has a distinct distaste for compulsion and responds to persuasion rather than to command; consequently, it resembles the beloved wife more than the servant.”

“The subconscious is not selective; it is impersonal and no respecter of persons.

The subconscious is not concerned with the truth or falsity of your feeling. It always accepts as true that which you feel to be true.”

“The subconscious never fails to express that which has been impressed upon it. The moment it receives an impression it begins to work out the ways of its expression.

It accepts the feeling impressed upon it, your feeling, as a fact existing within itself and immediately sets about to produce in the outer or objective world the exact likeness of that feeling.

The subconscious never alters the accepted beliefs of man. It out-pictures them to the last detail whether or not they are beneficial.”

“The subconscious never sleeps. Sleep is the door through which the conscious, waking mind passes to be creatively joined to the subconscious.”

“The world cannot change until you change your conception of it. 'As within so without'.”

“The world, and all within it, is man’s conditioned consciousness objectified. Consciousness is the cause as well as the substance of the entire world.

So it is to consciousness that we must turn if we would discover the secret of creation.”

“Think feelingly only of the state you desire to realize. Feeling the reality of the state sought and living and acting on that conviction is the way of all seeming miracles.”

“Through your ability to think and feel, you have dominion over all creation.”

“To impress the subconscious with the desirable state you must assume the feeling that would be yours had you already realized your wish.

In defining your objective you must be concerned only with the objective itself. The manner of expression or the difficulties involved are not to be considered by you.”

“To seek on the outside for that which you do not feel you are is to seek in vain, for we never find that which we want; we find only that which we are.”

“To think feelingly on any state impresses it on the subconscious. Therefore, if you dwell on difficulties, barriers or delay, the subconscious, by its very non-selective nature, accepts the feeling of difficulties and obstacles as your request and proceeds to produce them in your outer world.”

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and feel as true, the subconscious can and must objectify.

Your feelings create the pattern from which your world is fashioned, and a change of feeling is a change of pattern.”

“Whatever you have in consciousness as you go to sleep is the measure of your expression in the waking two-thirds of your life on earth.”

“Whenever your feeling is in conflict with your wish, feeling will be the victor.”

“You are already that which you want to be, and your refusal to believe this is the only reason you do not see it.”

“You must be in the consciousness of being or having that which you want to be or to have before you drop off to sleep.

Once asleep, man has no freedom of choice. His entire slumber is dominated by his last waking concept of self.”

“You never attract that which you want but always that which you are. As a man is, so does he see.”

“Your body is an emotional filter and bears the unmistakable marks of your prevalent emotions. Emotional disturbances, especially suppressed emotions, are the causes of all disease.

To feel intensely about a wrong without voicing or expressing that feeling is the beginning of disease – disease – in both body and environment.

Do not entertain the feeling of regret or failure for frustration or detachment from your objective results in disease.”

“Your desires are not subconsciously accepted until you assume the feeling of their reality, for only through feeling is an idea subconsciously accepted and only through this subconscious acceptance is it ever expressed.”

“Your mood prior to sleep defines your state of consciousness as you enter into the presence of your everlasting lover, the subconscious. She sees you exactly as you feel yourself to be.

If, as you prepare for sleep, you assume and maintain the consciousness of success by feeling 'I am successful', you must be successful.”
