ACCURATE THINKING 7IINo one knows better than I how impossible and impractical this
may seem to the person who is not a student of psychology. However,
the best thing for anyone to do is to experiment with this principle
until its practicality has been established.
The word impossible means less now than it ever did before in
the history of the human race. There are some who have actually
removed this word from their vocabularies, believing that we can do
anything we can imagine and believe we can do!
We know now that the universe is made up of two substances:
matter and energy. Through patient scientific research we have dis-
covered that everything that is or ever has been in the way of matter,
when analyzed to the finest point, is nothing but a form of energy.
On the other hand, every material thing that man has created
began in the form of energy, through the seed of an idea that was
released through the imaginative faculty of the human mind. In other
words, the beginning of every material thing is energy and the ending
of it is energy.
All matter obeys the command of one form or another of energy.
The highest known form of energy is that which functions as the
human mind. The human mind, therefore, is the sole directing force
of everything man creates, and what he may create with this force in
the future, as compared with what he has created with it in the past,
will make his past achievements seem petty and small.
We do not have to wait for future discoveries for evidence that
the mind is the greatest force known to mankind. We know now that
any idea, aim, or purpose that is fixed in the mind and held there with
a will to achieve or attain its physical or material equivalent, puts into
motion powers that cannot be conquered.
English author Charles Buxton said: "The longer I live the more
certain I am that the great difference between men, between the
feeble and the powerful, the great and the insignificant, is energy-
invincible determination-a purpose once fixed, and then death or
