IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN HAVE IT.
If you KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YOU CAN HAVE IT; Can this really be true? Can I have what I want by merely wanting it?
In 1952 my daughter, Peggy came home from college and placed a book on my desk and said: "Dad, read this with an open mind." The book; YOU WILL SURVIVE AFTER DEATH,: by Sherwood Eddy. This book started me on a search that changed my life.
I believe that the conscious mind can direct the subconscious mind, and that the subconscious mind will do what it is directed to do.
Three rules are set forth in a small booklet, entitled, IT WORKS, by RHJ.
1. Write down the things you want most. Read the list: morning, noon, and night.
2. Think of what you want as often as possible, and BELIEVE that you have it.
3. Do not talk to any one about your plan, except The GREAT POWER within you, which will unfold to your objective mind the method of accomplishment.
Can it be this simple? If I tell my subconscious mind to do something for me, does it have the power to do it? In the next few years I was to have several experiences that convinced me that it was possible.
In the spring of 1954, Verna and I attended a reception at the University of Denver for the opening of a new dormitory, where Peggy was to be living during her senior year. The father of one of her roommates had just returned from an assignment in Japan with McArthur's occupation forces. I had an opportunity to visit with him about his experiences, and was impressed and envious. Why couldn't I have an experience like that?
For days this was on my mind. I knew that this was an experience I would like to have, but how can I get it? I had just finished reading the booklet: IT WORKS, and I decided that this is the time to try it. What do 1 have to do to start the process?
I knew from previous experience with the Government, that to apply for federal employment, required a completed form 57, so I went to the Denver post office for the form,
