Your Thoughts Have Powers Beyond Your Imagination

William Walker Atkinson talks about the different "feelings" we get at different places and he says these feelings are the result of influence, mental influence, we get from the vibrations that are stored in these places.

Now, this and many topics in the book are simply unbelievable to a man or woman with a closed-mind. But, the essence of the book is that thought messages can be sent and received by two or more persons. So, he says that we can influence others through our thoughts and vice versa.

One good lady used it for a good cause. She was insulted by her relative. Instead of responding in kind, she used the methods from this book. She said from her mind to her relative (to paraphrase her):

"You cannot insult me anymore and I tell you, whatever you say or do to insult me will only make matters worse for you. Now you are going to stop all those comments directed at me."

The person immediately stopped the comments! And that person never insulted her again.

This is an instance of using the methods from this book for a good purpose, because using it for evil deeds could make it happen as well (but it may also prove to be destructive eventually). Be warned, only use them for good.

Some Insights From the Book:

1. There are two general forms of the direct use of Mental Influence, which, although somewhat resembling each other, may still be separated into two classes. The first we shall call "Fascination" and the second "Hypnotism."

By Fascination we mean the manifestation of Mental Influence when the two persons are together, without passes or the usual hypnotic methods. By Hypnotism we mean the uses of the power, also when the two parties are together, but accompanied by passes or hypnotic methods.

2. Some masters of this art of influencing the public create a mental picture of themselves sending out great volumes of Thought Waves for a time, and then afterward mentally imparting a rotary motion to the waves, until at last they form a mental whirlpool rushing round and round and always sucking in toward the centre. An effort of this kind acts on the mental plane just as a physical whirlpool acts on the physical plane, that is, it draws into Us power all that comes in contact with its force.

3. With this consciousness held in mind, your mental command to another "Let me alone - I cast off your influence by the power of my Spirit," will act so strongly that you will be able to actually see the effect at once. If the other person be stubborn and determined to influence you by words of suggestion, coaxing, threatening, or similar methods, look him or her straight in the eyes, saying mentally "I defy you - my inner power casts off your influence." Try this the next time that any one attempts to influence you either verbally or by Thought-Waves and see how strong and positive you will feel, and how the efforts of the other person will fail. This sounds simple, but the little secret is worth thousands of dollars to every individual who will put it into practice.
