Page : 281 THE POWER OF WILL Page : 4 INTRODUCTION How To Study "Power of Will" My first recommendation is to carefully and methodically read the book from beginning to end. Do not skip about, but take each lesson in regular order. Mentally absorb as much of what you read as you can, marking in the margins, or making other note of such paragraphs or sections as afford instructions which you feel particular need of. Return to them later on. Try each day to put into practical use in your personal affairs and your associations with other people, the principles you have found in the lessons. As you come to the lessons in Sense Culture, beginning on page 127, do not "peter out" and allow your original resolution to develop will power to be balked, just because there are some exercises. Remember this, all that you will ever know in this world, every iota of knowledge you will ever possess, comes to you through your Five Senses. A child without Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste or Smell never would gain any knowledge, it would be but a physical machine absolutely devoid of the ability to know, think, reason or understand. Therefore, the greatest opportunity in your life is the opportunity to learn how to make your five senses yield you greater brain powers. And to this end Dr. Haddock has in the second division, "The WILL and SENSE CULTURE," given you the most elaborate and successful exercises ever arranged to multiply the powers of your Senses, through which your knowledge and success may be enhanced. How To Use The Exercises There are exercises for the Eye 11 of them; then come 10 for the Ear; 9 for Touch ( a separate lesson for each Sense.) It is best to take three or four exercises from each lesson and work on these 5 sets for the period of 10 days. If time will not allow so many, then take but two exercises from each of the five lessons in Sense culture. After the ten day period, drop the exercises, and take as many more new ones from each of the five lessons. In this way, you will have covered all of the exercises in the five lessons on Sense culture in three or four ten day periods. Many have asked if they were to take but one exercise and do that for ten days before taking another. No!. Take several at a time and from several of the lessons. THE POWER OF WILL Page : 5 How To Study "Power of Will" The same plan of practice also covers lessons beginning on page 177; The Nerves; Hands; Steadiness etc. In lessons on Attention; Attention in Reading; Attention in Thinking also appear problems to work out, but these are straight away methods for development of Brain power. The Only Possible Way To Develop Will Power Commenting up the fact that there are dozens of exercises in the book, and your possible thought that you won't have time to practice them, I say that you can no more acquire powers of Mind, Will and Success by merely passively reading about them, than you could become a Sandow by simply reading all the books in existence about muscle. ACTUAL PRACTICE -- ACTUAL EXERCISE OF THE BRAIN POWERS is the only method under the sun that will yield you INCREASED POWERS. Therefore with joy hail the arrival of this book which shows you the direct road, which provides tested exercises for your personal improvement. As previously mentioned, it seems a good plan to first read the book from beginning to end, not stopping during the, first reading to work out all of the exercises. TAKE THEM UP FOR METHODICAL PRACTICE AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED A GENERAL READING OF THE BOOK. Look upon "POWER OF WILL" as a guide and consellor and a mine of golden information, a master instructor that will show you how to make the most of your God given mental forces, but which can be made the most of -- ONLY THROUGH ACTUAL EXERCISE. Return to it again and again and always will you find new values. Don't part with it just because there may be parts of it you can't use right now you CAN use it later on. If I may be allowed a personal word, when I began the study of "POWER OF WILL" I was an $8 a week bill clerk. What I learned from the book by CONTINUED study of its pages made a fortune for me and not only that, it developed an intellect. And those are the very things you seek, else you would never have sent for the book It CAN and WILL produce results for you. Yours for Success, Pres. The PELTON PUBLISHING CO. THE POWER OF WILL Page : 6 The Power - Book Library Its Aim NOT Training in the well known Arts, Sciences or Businesses, but Cultivation of the Real Personality for Successful Living in any Art, Science or Business. Its Philosophy The Highest human Science is the Science of Practical Individual Culture. The Highest Human Art is the Art of Making the Most of the Self and its Career.

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

    Pushing to the Front By Orison Swett Marden "The world makes way for the determined man." ----- Originally Published By The Success Company's Branch Offices PETERSBURG, N.Y. ---- TOLEDO ---- DANVILLE --- OKLAHOMA CITY ---- SAN JOSE COPYRIGHT, 1911, ----- Published In E-Book Format By Higher Bracket Online Media Inc. 2007 http://www.HigherBracket.ca ----- FOREWORD This revised and greatly enlarged edition of "Pushing to the Front" is the outgrowth of an almost world-wide demand for an extension of the idea which made the original small volume such an ambition-arousing, energizing, inspiring force. It is doubtful whether any other book, outside of the Bible, has been the turning- point in more lives. It has sent thousands of youths, with renewed determination, back to school or college, back to all sorts of vocations which they had abandoned in moments of discouragement. It has kept scores of business men from failure after they had given up all hope. It has helped multitudes of poor boys and girls to pay their way through college who had never thought a liberal education possible. The author has received thousands of letters from people in nearly all parts of the world telling how the book has aroused their ambition, changed their ideals and aims, and has spurred them to the successful undertaking of what they before had thought impossible. The book has been translated into many foreign languages. In Japan and several other countries it is used extensively in the public schools. Distinguished educators in many parts of the world have recommended its use in schools as a civilization-builder.

FOWLER & COMPANY How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True TO THOSE WHO ARE EARNESTLY SEEKING THEIR OWN I DEDICATE THIS BOOK 2 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True How to Obtain Our Own 3 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True SECTION I Serene I fold my hands and wait, Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea; I rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come to me. I stay my haste, I make delays, For what avails this eager pace? I stand amid the eternal ways, And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night or day, The friends I seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand alone? I wait with joy the coming years; My heart shall reap where it hath sown, And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own, and draw The brook that springs in yonder heights; So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delights. The stars come nightly to the sky; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away from me. —John Burroughs. 4 How To Obtain Our Own – Helen B. True HOW TO OBTAIN OUR OWN SECTION I John Burroughs has expressed that certainty, that knowledge which comes to the awakened soul, to the effect that there is a sure supply for all its needs—a fulfillment of its every requirement—a coming true of its every earnest dream—a realization of its every high ideal.

  • INTA Archives Research Guide for Elizabeth Towne
    INTA Archives Research Guide for Elizabeth Towne Elizabeth Towne (1865-1960) Elizabeth Towne created the metaphysics journal Nautilus in 1909 in Portland, Oregon. She moved to Holyoke in 1880 to marry William Elmer Towne, vice president and secretary of her company called the Elizabeth Towne Company, Inc., after her first marriage to Joseph Holt Struble ended. Towne was instrumental in creating the New Thought movement, which centered on the power of self-help, self-healing, and positive thinking. She believed that being a vegetarian, having strong Christian beliefs, and exercising on a daily basis would assure longevity and happiness. The magazine eventually had 90,000 subscribers and was circulated around the world. She was an international lecturer for the International New Thought Alliance and served on many prominent boards and clubs, including the Hampden County Women's Club of Western Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Business and Professional Women's Club. In 1912, she and her husband sat as delegates at the convention of 1916 as one of the three state committeewomen of the Progressive party in 1913 and also served on the board of directors of the Massachusetts Federation of Progressive women. She was the first woman alderman-at-large in December 1926 and the first woman to declare her candidacy for mayor of Holyoke in 1928. She was known as a pioneer of truth and inspiration for the citizens of Holyoke and internationally. (Courtesy of the Holyoke Public Library.) 1 INTA Archives Research Guide
