Step 2 FAITH (Think and Grow Rich, Be All You Can Be in 13 steps)

BE ALL YOU CAN BE in 13 steps

”The Whole Course of things goes to teach us FAITH, we need only obey. There is guidance for each of us, and by lowly listening; we shall hear the right word.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is FAITH for? (Step 2)

Straight out of High School being the adventurer that I am I entered the United States Naval Reserve; little did I know the real-adventure it would be. About 7.5 years complete with my 8 year enlistment is when the US first began war with Iraq. I remember watching on CNN my country bombing Bagdad…I then had to answer for myself the question, “What is FAITH for?” While I love my country, I would not have followed orders to be stationed on a ship in the gulf engaged in such a war. The event crystallized my beliefs. My conscience then became a test of my FAITH as I began Conscientious Objector Pleadings with the United States Navy during wartime. It was a scary thing for me because I really had no idea what would happen next. As it turns out after months of building my legal case, the Navy eventually honorably discharged me. Whatever FAITH is, I knew I had more of it after going through this experience. Peace was my Purpose then, and it continues to be now.

Today, many years later, sharing this part of my personal story…has its own Purpose:

“To Build a Relationship with You that Expands Our Horizons.”

What is FAITH to you, and how has it applied to your experience in life?

Would you say FAITH is religious, spiritual or both?

Do you find FAITH is inside of you or outside of you?

Where does FAITH show up in a Philosophy of Success, not to mention an IMezine?

Napoleon Hill identified FAITH as number 2 of 13 steps in his book Think and Grow Rich.

He spoke of FAITH as being Visualization and Belief in the Attainment of DESIRE (Step 1). In his view FAITH is one of the three most powerful of all the major positive emotions, next to LOVE and SEX! He says Love is closely akin to the state of mind known as FAITH because Love comes very near to translating one’s thought impulses into their spiritual equivalent.

Mr. Hill describes that mixing or blending FAITH, LOVE and SEX in effect opens a direct line of communication between the finite thinking human mind and Infinite Intelligence, by way of the Subconscious Mind. He said FAITH is a state of mind which may be induced or created by affirmations or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principle of autosuggestion (Step 3 Autosuggestion will detail this medium for influencing the Subconscious Mind. Look for the next IMezine to be in your inbox in the next week or so. Autosuggestion will be in the subject line).

The Law of Autosuggestion, Napoleon Hill proposes will lift you up or pull you down, according to the way you set your sails of THOUGHT. It is well described in the following verse:

If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don’t

If you like to win, but you think you can’t, It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost For out of the world we find, Success begins with a fellow’s will— It’s all in the state of mind. .

If you think you are outclassed, you are, You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. .

Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!

What do you THINK? Are your thoughts lifting you up or pulling you down?

Are DESIRE, FAITH and AUTOSUGGESTION part of your Business Plan for Success?

Ready to learn how to Be All You Can BE, by taking all 13 steps?

FAITH is a state of mind which can be developed at will after mastering the 13 Think and Grow Rich principles.

FAITH is the only known antidote for FAILURE.

Some of the following is what I have learned in my own application of all 13 Think and Grow Rich steps:

Autosuggestion convinces the subconscious mind that I believe I will receive that for which I ask and DESIRE. The subconscious mind will act upon that Belief, then pass it back to me in the form of FAITH, followed by definite plans for procuring that which I DESIRE.

Repetition or affirmation of orders to my subconscious mind is the only method of voluntary development of the emotion of FAITH.

For evidence of the Power of FAITH we need only study the achievements of men and women who have employed it. As only one of countless examples, the FAITH of Mahatma Gandhi of India comes to mind. Gandhi wielded more Power than any other person living in his time, but it was not a material power. He created his Power out of his understanding of the principle of FAITH and through his ability to transplant that FAITH into the minds of over two hundred million people.

Gandhi accomplished through the influence of FAITH what the strongest military powers on earth could not then and will never accomplish. The victory of his FAITH was in influencing two hundred million minds to move in unison as a single mind. What other force on earth except FAITH could do as much?

Today, we can witness what the LACK of FAITH will do to governments and business, being paralyzed by widespread FEAR. Yet in the past and still today growing out of the problems will be the solutions. Leaders in business and industry will profit by the example which Gandhi set for the world. Force and FEAR will be replaced with Cooperation and FAITH as leaders emerge who understand and apply the principles employed by Gandhi. Leaders and followers will give and receive in the spirit of full cooperation which constitutes Power, then Power will be known in its highest and most enduring form.

The object of this IMezine is to help all who seek it to learn the art of changing their minds from FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS TO SUCCESS CONSCIOUSNESS, to Remember and Experience how You Are the “Master of Your Fate and the Captain of Your Soul.”

I believe in the application of DESIRE backed by FAITH because I have seen it lift people from lowly beginnings to places of power and wealth (see interviews I have conducted at: http://TimothyBertOwen.com/interviews ). My own firsthand experience has also proven to me how individuals staged a comeback after having been defeated in countless ways.

Having read this far I trust you remember experiences with DESIRE backed by FAITH that you yourself have had.

Do you remember the end of the movie “The Matrix?” when Neo says, “Where we go from here is up to you.”

Where do you choose to go from here?

You’ve traveled all the other roads… and you already know where they lead …don’t you?

PS. Quick Review

Riches begin in the form of THOUGHT!

The amount is only limited by the person in whose mind the THOUGHT is put into motion.

FAITH removes limitations!

You too can rise upon the wings of FAITH, which can be created by a powerful force known as AUTOSUGGESTION (Step 3 “Autosuggestion,” will detail this medium for influencing the Subconscious Mind.
