while, that your subconscious mind will hand over the plan, or plans you need. Be
on the alert for these plans, and when they appear, put them into ACTION IM-
MEDIATELY. When the plans appear, they will probably "flash" into your mind
through the sixth sense, in the form of an "inspiration." This inspiration may
be considered a direct "telegram," or message from Infinite Intelligence. Treat it
with respect, and act upon it as soon as you receive it. Failure to do this will be
FATAL to your success.

In the fourth of the six steps, you were instructed to "Create a definite plan for
carrying out your desire, and begin at once to put this plan into action." You
should follow this instruction in the manner described in the preceding para-
graph. Do not trust to your "reason when creating your plan for accumulating
money through the transmutation of desire. Your reason is faulty. Moreover, your
reasoning faculty maybe lazy, and, if you depend entirely upon it to serve you, it
may disappoint you.

When visualizing the money you intend to accumulate, (with closed eyes), see
yourself rendering the service, or delivering the merchandise you intend to give
in return for this money. This is important!

SUMMARY OF INSTRUCTIONS

The fact that you are reading this book is an indication that you earnestly seek
knowledge. It is also an indication that you are a student of this subject. If you are
only a student, there is a chance that you may learn much that you did not know,
but you will learn only by assuming an attitude of humility. If you choose to follow
some of the instructions but neglect, or refuse to follow others-you will fail! To get
satisfactory results, you must follow ALL instructions in a spirit of FAITH.

The instructions given in connection with the six steps in the second chapter will
now be summarized, and blended with the principles covered by this chapter, as
follows:

First. Go into some quiet spot (preferably in bed at night) where you will not
be disturbed or interrupted, close your eyes, and repeat aloud, (so you may hear
your own words) the written statement of the amount of money you intend to ac-
cumulate, the time limit for its accumulation, and a description of the service or
merchandise you intend to give in return for the money. As you carry out these
instructions, SEE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY.
