50 Masterpieces you have to read before you die vol: 2 (Book Center). Джек Лондон
“I now decree that she possesses the following qualities and attributes: She is spiritual, loyal, faithful and true. She is harmonious, peaceful and happy. We are irresistibly attracted to each other. Only that which belongs to love, truth and beauty can enter my experience. I accept my ideal companion now.”
As you think quietly and with interest on the qualities and attributes which you admire in the companion you seek, you will build the mental equivalent into your mentality. Then, the deeper currents of your subconscious mind will bring both of you together in divine order.
No Need For Third Mistake
Recently a teacher said to me, “I have had three husbands and all three have been passive, submissive and dependent on me to make all decisions and govern everything. Why do I attract such type men?”
I asked her whether she had known that her second husband was he effeminate type, and she replied, “Of course not. Had I known, I would not have married him.” Apparently she had not learned anything from the first mistake. The trouble was with her own personality make up. She was very masculine, domineering and unconsciously wanted someone who would be submissive and passive so that she could play the dominant role. All this was unconscious motivation, and her subconscious picture attracted to her what she subjectively wanted. She had to learn to break the pattern by adopting the right prayer process.
How She Broke The Negative Pattern
the above-mentioned woman learned a simple truth. When you believe you can have the type of man you idealize, it is done unto you as your believe. The following is the specific prayer she used to break the old subconscious pattern and attract to her the ideal mate: “I am building into my mentality the type of man I deeply desire. The man I attract for a husband is strong, powerful, loving, very masculine, successful, honest, loyal and faithful. He finds love and happiness with me. I love to follow where he leads.
“I know he wants me, and I want him. I am honest, sincere, loving and kind. I have wonderful gifts to offer him. They are good will, a joyous heart and a healthy body. He offers me the same. It is mutual, I give and I receive. Divine Intelligence knows where this man is, and the deeper wisdom of my subconscious mind is now bringing both of us together in its own way and we recognize each other immediately. I release this request to my subconscious mind which knows how to bring my request to pass. I give thanks for the perfect answer.”
She prayed in the above manner night and morning, affirming these truths and knowing that through frequent occupation of the mind she would reach the mental equivalent of that which she sought.
The Answer To Her Prayer
Several months went by. She had a great number of dates and social engagements, none of which was agreeable to her. When she was about to question, waiver, doubt and vacillate, she reminded herself that the Infinite Intelligence was bringing it to pass in its own way and that there was nothing to be concerned about. Her final decree in her divorce proceedings was granted which brought her a great sense of release and mental freedom.
Shortly afterward she went to work as a receptionist in a doctor's office. She told me that the minute she saw the physician she knew he was the man she was praying about. Apparently he knew it too, because he proposed to her the first week she was in the office and their subsequent marriage was ideally happy. This physician was not the passive or submissive type, but was a real man, a former football player, an outstanding athlete and was a deeply spiritual man though he was completely devoid of any sectarian or denominational affiliation.
She got what she prayed for because she claimed it mentally until she reached the point of saturation. In other words, she mentally and emotionally united with her idea, and it become a part of her in the same way that an apple becomes a part of her blood stream.
Should I Get A Divorce?
Divorce is an individual problem. It cannot be generalized. In some cases, of course, there never should have been a marriage. In some cases, divorce is not the solution, no more so than marriage is the solution for a lonely man. Divorce may be right for one person and wrong for another. A divorced woman may be far more sincere and noble than may of her married sisters who perhaps are living a lie.
For example, I once talked with a woman who husband was a dope fiend, an ex-convict, a wife beater and a non provider. She had been told it was wrong to get a divorce. I explained to her that marriage is of the heart. If two hearts blend harmoniously, lovingly and sincerely, that is the ideal marriage. The pure action of the heart is love.
Following this explanation she knew what to do. She knew in her heart that there is no divine law which compelled her to be browbeaten, intimidated and beaten because someone said, “I pronounce you man and wife.” If you are in doubt as to what to do, ask for guidance, knowing that there is always an answer, and you will receive it. Follow the lead that comes to you in the silence of your soul. It speaks to you in peace.
Drifting Into Divorce
Recently a young couple, married only for a few months, were seeking a divorce. I discovered that the young man had a constant fear that his wife would leave him. He expected rejection and he believed that she would be unfaithful. These thoughts haunted his mind and became an obsession with him. His mental attitude was one of separation and suspicion. She felt unresponsive to him; it was his own feeling or atmosphere of loss and separation operating through them. This brought about a condition or action in accordance with the mental pattern behind it. There is a law of action and reaction, or cause and effect. The thought is the action and the response of the subconscious mind is the reaction.
His wife left home and asked for a divorce which is what he feared and believed she would do.
Divorce Begins In The Mind
Divorce takes place first in the mind; the legal proceedings follow after. These two young people were full of resentment, fear, suspicion and anger. These attitudes weaken, exhaust and debilitate the whole being. They learned that hate divides and that love unites. They began to realize what they had been doing with their minds. Neither one of them knew the law of mental action, and they were misusing their minds and bringing on chaos and misery. These two people went back together at my suggestion and experimented with prayer therapy.
They began to radiate love, peace and good will to each other. Each one practiced radiating harmony, health, peace and love to the other and they alternated in the reading of the Psalms every night. Their marriage is growing more beautiful every day.
The Nagging Wife
Many times the reason the wife nags is because she gets no attention. Oftentimes, it is a craving for love and affection. Give your wife attention and show your appreciation. Praise and exalt all her many good points. There is also the nagging type of woman who wants to make the man conform to her particular patter. This is about the quickest way in the world to get rid of a man.
The wife and the husband must cease being scavengers always looking at the petty faults or errors in each other. Let each give attention and praise for the constructive and wonderful qualities in the other.
The Brooding Husband
If a man begins to brood, grows morbid against his wife because of the things she said or did, he is, psychologically speaking, committing adultery. One of the meanings of adultery is idolatry, i.e. giving attention to or uniting mentally with that which is negative and destructive. When a man is silently resenting his wife and is full of hostility toward her, he is unfaithful. He is not faithful to his marriage vows which are to love, cherish and honor her all the days of his life.
The man who is brooding, bitter and resentful can swallow his sharp remarks, abate his anger and he can go to great lengths to be considerate, kind and courteous. He can deftly skirt the differences. Through praise and mental effort, he can get out of the habit of antagonism. Then, he will be able to get along better, not only with
