THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING CLAUDE BRISTOL SUCCESS MANUAL STRATEGIST EDITION 2010 PRINCETON CAMBRIDGE PUBLISHING GROUP CHAPTER 1 HOW I CAME TO TAP THE POWER OF BELIEF IS THERE some force, or factor, or power, or science – call it what you will – which a few people understand and use to overcome their difficulties and achieve outstanding success? I firmly believe that there is, and it is my purpose in this book to try to explain it so that you can use it if you desire. Around 1933, the financial editor of a great Los Angeles newspaper attended lectures I gave to financial men in that city and read my brochure T.N.T. – It Rocks the Earth. Afterwards, he wrote the following: “You have caught from the ether something that has a mystical quality – a something that explains the magic of coincidence, the mystery of what makes men lucky.” 7 © Copyright 2010 The Princeton Licensing Group www.successmanual.com Published by Princeton Cambridge Publishing Group www.prosperitybible.com Princeton, New Jersey, United States of America All Rights Reserved. THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING CLAUDE BRISTOL SUCCESS MANUAL STRATEGIST EDITION 2010 PRINCETON CAMBRIDGE PUBLISHING GROUP I realized that I had run across something that was practical and workable. But I didn’t consider it then – neither do I now – as anything “mystical,” except in the sense that it is unknown to the majority of people. This “something” has always been known to a fortunate few down the centuries, but for some unknown reason it is still barely understood by the average person. Years ago, when I started to teach this science by means of lectures and the medium of my brochure, I wasn’t certain that the concepts could be grasped by the ordinary individual. But since then, I have seen those who have used it to double and triple their incomes, build their own successful businesses, acquire homes of their dreams, and create sizable fortunes. I am now convinced that any intelligent person who is sincere with themselves can reach any heights they truly and honestly desire. I had no intention of writing a second book, although many urged me to do so, until a woman in the book business who had sold many copies of my first little book literally read me “the riot act” by stating: “You have a duty to give to the men and women who seek places for themselves in the world, in easily understood form, the new material that you have given in your lectures. Everyone of ambition wants to 8 © Copyright 2010 The Princeton Licensing Group www.successmanual.com Published by Princeton Cambridge Publishing Group www.prosperitybible.com Princeton, New Jersey, United States of America All Rights Reserved. THE MAGIC OF BELIEVING CLAUDE BRISTOL SUCCESS MANUAL STRATEGIST EDITION 2010 PRINCETON CAMBRIDGE PUBLISHING GROUP get ahead, and you have amply demonstrated that you have something that will help anyone. It’s up to you to pass it along.” It took time to sell myself on the idea. But having served as a soldier in World War I, mostly in France and Germany, and having been active for many years in ex-service men’s organizations as well as a state commission for the rehabilitation of ex-service men and women, I realized that it would be hard for many individuals to make outstanding places for themselves in a world from which they had long been separated. It is with a sincere desire to help them, as well as all ambitious men and women, that I write this more full and detailed exposition of the Power of Belief. Thus, this work is written also to help develop individual thinking and doing. Since this book may fall into the hands of some who may call me a crackpot or screwball, let me say that I am past the half-century mark and have had many years of hard practical business experience – as well as a goodly number of years as a newspaper man. I started as a police reporter. Police reporters are trained to get facts and take nothing for granted. For a two year period I was church editor of a large metropolitan newspaper, during which I came in close contact with clergymen and leaders of all 9 © Copyright 2010 The Princeton Licensing Group www.successmanual.com Published by Princeton Cambridge Publishing Group www.prosperitybible.com Princeton, New Jersey, United States of America All Rights Reserved.

The well-known English evangelist Gypsy Smith was making a tour of America at that time. Night after night as I sat on his platform, watching people stumble down the aisles, some sobbing, others shouting hysterically, I wondered.

My dissertation exposes the fundamental flaw in extending this injunction to the literary production of real children. By recovering the wildly popular, critically acclaimed and bestselling juvenilia of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, I contend that child- authored texts make manifest individual children’s absorption and manipulation of culture. Although critics such as Beverly Lyon Clark aptly note a growing bifurcation of children’s and adult’s literature at the turn of the century, I argue that adult and child authors alike participated in the construction of the “real child” as a trope of literary representation.

  • Fairyland Diaries
    Opal Whiteley’s Fairyland Diaries Over 180 Diary Entries With 300 Research Notes Compiled by Stephen Williamson © 2018 People have long wanted me to write down what I know about Opal Whiteley. “The Fairyland Diaries” contains much of what I have collected. The number one thing people have asked me is if there were more of her diary entries in existence. Until recently the answer was no. But, now I am very glad to present some of what may be from her lost diaries. These “Fairyland Diaries” cover Opal’s years from about age nine to age nineteen. Several entries may be from younger years - the time of her childhood diary. These diary entries give us new insights into Opal and her life. Here are over 300 research notes for almost 190 diary entries! This document is dedicated to everyone who has helped (or criticized) my work over the years. I have learned from each of you. I hope you enjoy these “Fairyland Diaries”. Most of these 180+ diary entries are in her first book, The Fairyland Around Us (1918) - a science textbook for teaching young people both nature and spirituality. The entries are scattered throughout the book and not in chronological order -but they total almost 30,000 words. I have organized these diary entries by month from January through December. While biographers have mentioned a few of these, this is the first time they have all been collected. I have added paragraphs for easier reading on screen. You can also read them without my research notes in PDF format.

  • World Anthology for the Protocol for World Peace
    WORLD BIBLIOGRAPHIC INDEX: ALPHABETICAL (I) AND IN ORDER OF ACCESS (II) The collection of texts, from which the materials for the data base of The Protocol for World Peace were abstracted, was begun on January 1, 2000, and the finishing work on the final portion of this effort—the Four Governing Indices (World Table of Contents, World Authors A- Z, World Bibliography, World Archives)—was completed on Christmas Day, 2017. * In this bibliography, every effort has been made to discover for each source its card catalogue identification in the constituent libraries of Cornell University, which appears in each entry as a single-word English short-form of their names—OLIN, ASIA, URIS, AFRICANA, COX, ILR (International Labor Relations) etc.—printed prior to each catalogue number. Very occasionally the source is designated in the RARE collection, referring to the library housed in the Rare Book depository; even more occasionally the source is designated as an “Electronic Resource” (If the source edition actually used is not listed, the nearest English-language edition is listted; if there is no English edition, the closest non-English; if the work is entirely absent, but there is present something else by the author that has been collected, the citation “other stuff” will be seen.) In many cases, these catalogue entries are twinned, and the Cornell reference invariably follows the catalogue entry of the library where the source was originally discovered, thus: [ original citation | Cornell citation ]. * The collection was begun through the auspices of the Interlibrary Loan Department of the Southeast Steuben County Public Library in Corning, New York, and for the first year or so liberal use was made of the various public libraries affiliated in this public library system.

One of the largest regional publishers west of the Mississippi was the Binfords & Mort publishing company of Portland, Oregon. In 1930, Binfords & Mort began publishing works of fiction, history, poetry, children’s literature, and natural history by Pacific Northwest authors with content focused on the Pacific Northwest. Between 1930 and 1984, when the Binford family sold the publishing company, Binfords & Mort published around one thousand titles, and became a one of the leading influences on the Oregon literary scene.

  • Les Identités Simulées Et Dissimulées D'opal Whiteley. Les Tropes Français
    LES IDENTITÉS SIMULÉES ET DISSIMULÉES D ’O PAL WHITELEY . LES TROPES FRANÇAIS DANS LA RIVIÈRE AU BORD DE L ’EAU . JOURNAL D ’UNE ENFANT D’AILLEURS Damian MASŁOWSKI Université Nicolas Copernic, Toru ń Abstract (En): In 2006, by dint of the release of the French translation of The Story Of Opal: The Journal Of An Understanding Heart (La Rivière au bord de l ’eau. Journal d ’une enfant d’ailleurs ), Opal Whiteley was introduced to French readers. Born in 1897 in Colton, in Washington, Oregon, she chose a particular avenue of escapism, the invention of a new personality: the lost daughter of Prince Henri of Orléans (1867-1901). This kind of dissimulation of identity means the rejection of her family of lumberjacks together with their unremarkable entourage. Such an attitude stems from her childish imagination as well as from various dissociative disorders. In the present paper we submit The Story Of Opal and the biography of the famous Oregonian to analysis. Therein, we will try to find the fountainhead of her fascination towards the historical and cultural heritage of France that affected her life, her discourse and her works. As a result, it is extremely interesting to see and understand Opal Whiteley’s tendency to the French pen- names and aliases. She was, inter alia : Françoise d'Orlá, Marie de Bourbon, Francesca Henriette Marguerite d'Orléans or Françoise Marie de Bourbon-Orléans. Nevertheless, the simulated origin of the author has never been definitely established by critics. The age at which Whiteley wrote her “journal” is also disputable. She claimed that she was six years old at the moment of finishing her manuscript (published in 1920).
