Even Jesus tried to tell the world, as he was doing his great work some two thousand years ago, that you too were capable of doing what he was doing. The little people will say, that is not what He meant. But let me assure you, it is exactly what Jesus meant. If you can see it and believe it— you can do it. Just build the image of prosperity on the screen of your mind and watch what happens.
Remember though, regardless of how tough things get, you must continue to hold the picture of personal prosperity. You will very likely run up against a series of circumstances that will, for a time, almost have you convinced you are actually going backwards; but, 55 The Image-Maker persistence is the key. Continue to hold the picture of personal prosperity and understand that what is happening to you, is what must happen, to prepare you to receive the good you desire.
For both of these great men had an image and they would not let anyone or anything dissuade them—they were persistent. One illuminated the world, the other put the world on wheels. Both were, of course, richly rewarded. In a previous chapter, we explained money is a reward for service rendered. These men provided a tremendous service to millions of individuals and their reward was in direct proportion to the service rendered. So build your image of prosperity and be persistent.
The way for your image to materialize will be shown to you. We both seemed to be equally impressed with the importance of this quality, as well as with the necessity of a person having it, if they were to reach any worthwhile goal.
It is important that I bring this out here, as I will be referring back to it shortly. The incident I am about to relate, took place in I was living in Chicago at the time and had just completed a speaking engagement in Edmonton, Alberta.
I asked John to wait while I looked over my calendar; it was, in the vernacular—packed tight. I was busy, to say the least; almost every day I had either a seminar or speaking engagement in a different city in North America. To get to Chicago I have to go through Toronto. He also explained that he was prepared to pay the price, whatever it might be. As I listened, it was like hearing a popular song on the radio—you keep hearing it, over and over again. The years of staying up nights reading and studying, the years of learning by attending seminars all over the continent, the years of working for next to nothing to prepare oneself to hold the attention of a group of people all day in a seminar, these were the images racing across my mind.
It had taken me eleven years to get to that point. And that is a whole different story. Make sure you understand that, John. You will have to do a tremendous amount of studying, because you not only have to know what to say, but you must also have the answers to a thousand and one questions arising as a result of what you say.
Some of the questions will come from professional people—medical doctors, engineers and lawyers—who, in most cases, know what they are 59 The Image-Maker talking about. Not to mention the fact that you will be a walking physical contradiction to what you teach. You must devel op showmanshi p and voi ce control, and on and on it goes. In short, John, for every one who makes it, a thousand fail miserably.
John was no exception, in one sense— he still wanted to go ahead. However, in every other way he was an exception. I did see him again. I told him what to read and what to do and he read it and did it. He narrated them onto tapes and then played the tapes in the car.
At his own expense, he followed me all over the country and sat in hundreds of seminars. He wrote thousands of pages of notes and studied them diligently. Finally, I would have him open and close the seminars. Then he would conduct part of a seminar himself. In the beginning he was full of fear, he was soaking wet. Sometimes he would be so worried about what the audience thought of him, that he would forget everything he knew and, as you know, 6 0 The Image-Maker an audience can be very cruel.
But despite all this he continued. Keep in mind this was costing him money; he was not being paid. He was persistent and it worked. It always has and it always will. He has spoken in almost every major city in North America. He has also earned more in one day than he was earning in a year when I first met him! Build your image now and develop the mental strength to hold it. At the end of the record Mr. Hill comes on to close 61 The Image-Maker the record.
So build your image now, right where you are. Build it now and let the remaining pages in this book strengthen the image. For many years now, I have been very aware of the power that flows through you to accomplish good in your life, when you hold the proper image in your mind; and this great truth has been responsible for many wonderful things happening in my own life.
Moreover, I have also seen numerous examples of what a proper image will do in the lives of other people. He explained they had four different regions and each region was coming in for three days to the conference. This meant that they wanted me to work in Toronto for approximately 12 days. My family and friends all lived there, so naturally the idea appealed to me. I explained that if he would give me two mornings on the program—with each region—I would be glad to come and do the job for him.
I wanted two and one-half hours each morning. All of their executives had to take part in the program and so they never gave anyone that much time. However, I stood firm. I gave him the name of a couple of other vice-presidents in his company whom I had worked for and I suggested that he call them, to find out if my idea had any merit.
But as I hung up the phone, I did so rather reluctantly because I really wanted the job. I made up my mind right on the spot that I was going to leave these people with something special—and if they chose to use it— 63 The Image-Maker they could literally change their lives overnight.
Not to mention what it would do for their sales records. I was going to speak on the power of an image or, to be more specific, the power of a self-image and the benefits of holding a positive one.
At the conclusion of the program for one of the regions, a gentleman came up to me and said it was imperative he talk to me.
He said he had a problem, and he felt I had the answer to the problem, because he was impressed with the ideas I had explained duri ng t he semi nar present at i ons. There were approximately people in each one of these conventions and I explained to this man that many of the people wanted to talk to me, but I did not have the time to talk to everyone individually, since I was only one person.
I also explained to him I had another appointment and had to leave immediately to be there on time. Still, he was persistent, so I agreed to meet him the following morning in the coffee-shop for breakfast. I can remember our meet i ng as i f i t were yesterday. The two of us sat down, just inside the door of the coffee-shop at the Hyatt House Hotel on Avenue Road. As soon as we sat down, he started talking. He informed me that he had to tell me something about himself, so I could understand his problem.
He said he did not want me to think he was bragging, but it was necessary for me to have this information. They came over to our table, congratulated Paul on his year, exchanged a few words with us and then went to their own table. Paul and I sat down again and resumed our conversation. It was a sincere, merited compliment that Paul had received from his two senior executives.
I run a district office in Wichita, Kansas. Out of over offices Prudential has, our office stands in th place. Every year I go for it, but I never seem to make it.
I explained to him that he was letting the sales sheet dictate the image he was holding in his mind. He saw himself as being number , and he was doing his utmost to move into the top He worked hard, he worked with his people and, as he explained previously, he had good people. I showed Paul that it was imperative he see himself in the top , regardless of what the sales sheet said. In other words, he had to act as if he were already in the top He had to become mentally what he wanted to be on the physical plane.
He also had to learn how to communicate this idea to his entire staff. We talked for awhile longer, and I explained as much as I could about the mind to him—how it worked and especially about the power of holding the proper image there.
Paul thanked me for the time I had given him and returned to Wichita, Kansas. As his region moved out of the Hyatt House, another one moved in. But about a day or so later, I received a long-distance call from Wichita, Kansas, and it was from Paul Hutsey. He wanted to know where I would be holding seminars when the conferences were completed. He then asked if he could join me and travel with me for two or three days.
So, at his own expense, he flew some miles to spend three days with me. We spent hours talking as we were driving from one city to another, and he sat in the seminar and took copious notes, all day long. In the evening we would spend more hours conversing. Finally, Paul returned to Wichita and started to apply these ideas.
Specifically, he started to work with the proper image and, as a result, the sales started to climb. Still, Paul accepted the move as a challenge, and a mere six months later the district in Pittsburgh, Kansas, stood number 11 in the entire Prudential Insurance Company!
The Pittsburgh district had not had a citation in nine years. Just two years later, they missed the number one spot by a matter of a few percentage points. Clearly, he is a man who learned well the awesome power of an image held in the mind. If you were to talk to Paul Hutsey today, he would be quick to tell you that he will never let present results dictate the image that he holds in his mind.
Rather, he holds the image of what he wants and then acts as if he already has it. He has become a serious student of the mind, and I am happy to count him among my good friends. Understand this—you could be doing precisely what Paul Hutsey had been doing all those years. So if you are, then make up your mind right now to do 67 The Image-Maker what I have suggested you start doing.
Start right where you are—build the image of what you want and then act as if you have already received it. Let creative energy fill your consciousness and then mould it into an image of yourself in a much more abundant state of life. See yourself already in possession of what you previously only dreamed of. Become extremely conscious of the truth that your entire being is not only filled with, but also is surrounded by, the original substance all images are made of. In the introduction to this book, and then again in the first chapter, we emphasized the fact that, no amount of reading or memorizing will make you successful in life.
It is the understanding and appl i cat i on of wi se t hought whi ch count s. Understanding and application are the keys which will unlock the door to a truly abundant life. In fact, you might even be able to recite them verbatim. Nevertheless, if you are not 6 8 The Image-Maker witnessing the results in your own life of the good you desi re, you si mpl y do not underst and t he power—and in fact the necessity—of acting on these ideas.
Therefore, make the time right now, this very minute, to build the image in your mind of yourself already in possession of prosperity. Write a brief description of your image on a card, carry it in your pocket and read it every day, a number of times, until the image fills your consciousness. Begin your written statement with: I am so happy. Treat yourself to the very best life has to offer. The wealth that is more than finest gold is here, if I shall but ask; And wisdom unguessed and power untole are here for every task.
The gates of heaven are before my eyes; Their key is within my hand; No more shall I look to the far skies; For here is the Promised Land. Or have you ever sat day dreaming—building magnificent images on the screen of your mind—wishing you had a certain sum of money, wanting to take a trip to some exotic place, or possibly hoping to be able to purchase the automobile you have always wanted? Well there is, and it has been around since time began.
Therefore, you can have the things you want—all of them—and you will have them if you will only make the ideas in this book a part of your way of thinking; a part of your way of life. Make up your mind to read this chapter over and over— times if necessary—until you feel deep inside that you really comprehend the idea being expressed.
For if you fail to grasp the idea presented to you in this chapter, the rest of the book will be of little value to you. However, once you do understand this chapter, it will be as if a tremendous light has gone on in your mind—truly illuminating your life— and you will realize you will never again be the same per son you once wer e.
Your days of idle-wishing will be brought to a halt. Happiness, health and prosperity will follow you all the days of your life and you will spend the rest of your years wanting to share your new understanding with everyone and anyone who is willing to take the time to listen and learn. Be aware, however, that many of the people whom you try to share your new awareness with are simply not ready for it. In fact, nine out of ten people will laugh and tell others you are odd, when you have shared your formula—Let Go And Let God—with them.
You must realize this is because the vast majority of people whom you encounter every day, treat God like some cosmic bellboy, who is supposed to run and fetch and then deliver. Potential Is Everywhere Always Understand this—everything you see in this universe, yourself included, is nothing but the expression of an infinite power.
This power is forever flowing into and through you. Scientists will tell you that everything is energy. I choose to say that everything is Spirit. These individuals have al ways known t her e i s a power whi ch permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the cosmos, and that everything you see around you is an expression of that power. The power operates in a very precise manner, which is generally called law.
In other words, everything comes from one source, and that source power always flows and works to and through the individual—that is you. Stated slightly differently, the image that you have formed can only come to you on the physical plane of life your results in one way, and that way is By Law and through Faith.
And when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated. The more you understand its truth, the easier it will be for you to improve the quality of your life. Since Clarence is not a celebrity, by any means, I am sure you have never heard his name before. In fact, he is such a modest, self-effacing person, that if he were to walk i nt o a room crowded wi t h peopl e, you woul d probably not even notice him.
Nevertheless, there is a certain indefinable spark in Clarence Smithison which makes him one of the most remarkable individuals I have ever had the pleasure to know. In an attempt to identify this elusive quality, I have come up with the following hypothesis: Clarence Smithison incorporates, within his very being, the principle upon which this entire chapter is based— namely, if a person will let go and let God i.
One day I confronted Clarence and asked him to share with me his view of faith and more specifically, his explanation of why he personally seemed to possess such a cornucopia of this important attribute.
True to his nature, he explained to me he had not developed a complicated philosophy with respect to the subject. He said everything he believed about Faith could be summarized in a simple definition; and it was this definition which gave him the strength he needed to endure the trials and tribulations in his own life. It is the connecting link between God and You, and therefore, it is your most valuable nonphysical possession.
In truth, it is the cornerstone to everything you will ever build or achieve during the course of your entire lifetime. Comparatively few people today realize just how much faith in oneself that part of oneself which is spiritual, perfect has to do with achievement, because the great majority of people never seem to conceive of faith as being a genuine creative force.
Yet the truth is that not only is Faith a bona fide power, but it is the greatest one we will ever encounter.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that whatever you accomplish in your lifetime, will be in direct proportion to the: 1 intensity, and 2 persistence of your faith. As you will recall, Goliath, the giant of Gath, came into the Israelite camp boasting pompously and taunting the Israelites to select a man to do battle with him.
The Israelites, naturally, were terrified and, not surprisingly, none of them leaped forward to accept the challenge. The elders insisted, however, that David clothe himself in heavy protective armor. They also gave him a sword with which to smite his powerful adversary. These are not my weapons. I have other weapons with which to fight the giant. When the giant leader of the Philistines, protected as he was with armor from head to toe, armed with mighty weapons and preceded by his shield-bearer, saw t he unarmed, unprot ect ed Israel i t e yout h approaching, he was infuriated.
This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hands. The r esul t —t he young I sr ael i t e shepherd defeated his far mightier foe! With nothing, save a single stone from his sling, David struck Goliath, and the giant fell lifeless to the ground. We do not believe we can simply tap into the great spiritual reservoir that lies within us, to make connection with divinity, all-supply, or whatever else you wish to call that power which sustains each one of us.
However, if you fail to make this connection in your own mind, or if you lack the divine self- confidence born of faith in omnipotence, you will never be what you long to be, or have what you 8 0 Let Go And Let God rightly deserve to have.
All of your prayers will return to you unanswered; your best efforts will bear no fruit and your negative attitudes will thwart the realization of your goal. You must realize the creator does not alter the law of gravity to accommodate a person who walks off the roof of a house. Even though the person may do it unconsciously or in a drugged state. Similarly, the creative principle of the law of achievement cannot be violated with impunity.
Therefore, you will achieve what you desire, be what you long to be, only when you become obedient to that inexorable law of life. To recapitulate—the first step in the creative process is to relax and see yourself already in possession of the good that you desire. Build the image. In working with Spirit, it helps to focus on the truth that Spirit is in all places at all times. Since this is so, it follows that you possess the godlike ability to tap into positive thoughts anytime you wish and anywhere you choose.
Moreover, once you become aware of your kinship with the creative power, that you are in truth a child of spirit, you cannot possibly be anything other than positive, forceful, radiant and self-reliant in your dealings with the world a conqueror of those forces which would attempt to drag you down or hold you back. Once this happens, all the forces in the universe will come together to 81 Let Go And Let God help you reach your goal or the manifestation of your Image.
Finally, gaining the understanding that you are made in the image of the creator of the universe— and are a living part of eternal spirit—will ultimately transform the results that you are achieving in your life, every day.
But as Spirit or thought flows into you, you choose the image you will then form with it. Experiment for yourself—sit back, relax and then become fully aware of this great creative capacity.
You can actually form one image or picture, after another, on the screen of your mind images of things which already exist physically, like your car, your home, your place of business, or images of things that do not yet exist— such as your short-term and long-term goals. But the point I want to impress upon you now, is that although Spirit is the very essence of your being, it will never move into form or into an image, without your assistance.
For since it is true that God helps only those who first help themselves, it follows that you must always do your part to start the creative process in motion. You must always build the image and know in your heart the image will materialize. Your enthusiastic attitude will, in turn, cause your actions to change and you will start behaving differently. Moreover, not only will you begin to act differently yourself, but because of the new vibration you are in, you will begin to gravitate toward, and to attract to you, other like-minded people.
The skeptics will begin to say you are just lucky, and you should let it go at that. For as long as you continue to hold the image in your mind of the good you desire, you will always be rewarded. Just have faith that what should happen must happen, and in the right time, it will happen. Always remember that, the image which you keep affirming in your heart or your subconscious mind is being impressed upon Spirit, and Spirit has the ability to convert your present dreams into your future reality.
On the surface, it might appear, from time to time, that things are not going well and you may begin to 83 Let Go And Let God worry you are moving in the wrong direction. But let me assure you, this will not be the case, as long as you keep the image of the good you desire firmly planted in your subconscious mind.
For if you do this, you will continue to move in the only direction in which you can move, in order to get to where you want to go. It is never adequate to have FAITH sporadically; to get enthusiastic over your prospects and then to undermine all of your mental kingdom.
Any person who starts that type of process in motion, is letting go of his Image of Prosperity and is using his creative powers to build images of poverty instead. And as we have already said, God, being a just God, will always work to bring about your ultimate good. But always bear in mind it is your innermost thoughts and images you are requesting; not the words to which you might only be paying lip-service.
Guard this faith zealously, as you would your most precious possession and ensure that it never be imperilled by weak, downhearted and negative thoughts.
They sap energy, enthusiasm, ambition, hope, faith and everything else which makes life purposeful, joyful and creative. You must consciously entertain only the mental allies of your ambition and those attributes which will help you realize the manifestation of your goal.
For when you are firmly grounded in Faith, negative thoughts will have no power over you, because they will not be in harmonious vibration with your new image. When Times Get Tough When things get tough you must get tougher and you can. As Dr. The following exercise works for me—it has for years—and I know i t wi l l work for you t oo. You can bui l d huge reservoirs of mental power by simply employing a daily autosuggestive technique, for the acquisition and the strengthening of this greatest and most necessary of all human attributes—Faith.
God made you for success not failure. God never made anyone to be a failure. You are perverting the great object of your existence by giving way to these miserable doubts of yourself, of your ability to be what you desire with all your heart to be. You should be ashamed to go out amongst your associates with a long, sad, dejected face, as though you were a misfit, as though you lacked creative power within, as though you did not have the ability to do what your Creator sent you here to do.
You were made to express what you long to express. Why not do this? The Image of Perfection, the Image of your Creator lies within you.
You must bring it to the center of your conscious thought and express it to the world. This is not egotism, not the glorification 8 6 Let Go And Let God of the parody of the man or woman which wrong- thinking or wrong-living has made. It is simply the assertion of your kinship with God. Be aware that the quiet voice within often tells you to do things which run counter to the way most peopl e l i ve t hei r l i ves.
