You Can Get What You Want If You Find It Within Yourself

According to Russell, the secret of getting what is wanted from Life is to find it within ourselves as an idea (let it form in us a consciousness of itself), and then to let it flow through us into the visible. The continued acknowledgment and realization of a thought as true, plus sustained attention to it, creates a mental equivalent, or affinity, for that thing. The mental equivalent held firmly in the conscious mind is then passed on to the subconscious mind, where it is acted upon by Divine Substance and produces a harvest exactly like itself.Thus, what we accept as true in the within becomes true in the without. "Out of the heart (subconscious mind) are the issues of life.""As a man thinketh in his heart (sub-conscious mind), so is he." Prayer is not a game of chance, as when one puts a nickel into a slot machine and gets two nickels or hits the jackpot. Prayer is providing a mental equivalent, or belief, through which God's attributes can be expressed.
