There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
I can form things in my thought, and by impressing my thoughts upon the formless substance can cause the thing I think about to be created.
In order to do this, I must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. I must form a clear mental picture of the things I want. And I must hold this picture in my thoughts with the fixed purpose that I will get what I want – closing my mind to all that may tend to shake my purpose, dim my vision, or quench my faith.
I am ready to receive what I want when it comes, and I am acting now upon the people and the things in my present environment.
