"If I desire to be wealthy, I may not know how long it will take me to reach the conviction that I possess great wealth, but when I feel wealth is mine I have conceived. Conception is my end. The length of time between my desire and its conception depends entirely upon my inner conviction that it is done."
"Having assumed the life you now live, no one can take it from you but yourself. You have the power to lay it down by no longer being conscious of it, and the power to pick it up again through consciousness"
"I know this vision was the result of my intense meditation upon the idea of perfection, for my meditations invariably bring about union with the state contemplated"
All changes take place in consciousness. The future, although prepared in every detail in advance, has several outcomes. At every moment of our lives we have before us the choice of which of several futures we will choose.
Prayer is not so much what you ask for, as how you prepare for its reception. "Whatsoever things ye desire, when ye pray believe that you have received them, and ye shall have them" [Mark 11:24]. The only condition required is that you believe that your prayers are already realized.
