While reading part 10 this week I realized what my partners were saying about our business. He said to me that it feels like somebody is praying our business closed.
Part 10 intro:He thinks chiefly to justify his action. If he fails as a businessman, he says that luck is against him.
Part 10 intro:He never thinks his problem through to the end. In short, he does not know that every effect is the result of a certain definite cause, but he seeks to console himself with explanations and excuses. He thinks only in self-defence.
10-1 That there is an abundance for everyone is evident, but that many fail to participate in this abundance is also evident; they have not yet come into a realization of the Universality of all substance, and that mind is the active principle whereby we are related to the things we desire.
So in the week I decided to go and look for work and just go out and plant the seed and force myself not to dig it up again but leave it to grow.
7-26. This is a difficult problem for many; we are too anxious; we manifest anxiety, fear, distress; we want to do something; we want to help; we are like a child who has just planted a seed and every fifteen minutes goes and stirs up the earth to see if it is growing. Of course, under such circumstances, the seed will never germinate, and yet this is exactly what many of us do in the mental world.
My friend told me just to go out and speak to the people and do not judge or think what the person is going to say but have positive thoughts.
10-9. Thought is the connecting link between the Infinite and the finite, between the Universal and the individual. We have seen that there is an impassable barrier between the organic and the inorganic, and that the only way that matter can unfold is to be impregnated with life; as a seed reaches down into the mineral world and begins to unfold and reach out, the dead matter begins to live, a thousand invisible fingers begin to weave a suitable environment for the new arrival, and as the law of growth begins to take effect.
By the third interview I received an offer to start on Monday, that is without any CV, I just walked in and said to him that my friends wife spoke to his wife and she said that he is always looking for somebody. When speaking to him he said that he rarely advertises and the best salespeople are the one’s that come by referrals and prefers salespeople that has have never sold his products because then he can teach from scratch without bad habits.
10-15. The great error of the present day is the idea that Man has to originate the intelligence whereby the Infinite can proceed to bring about a specific purpose or result. Nothing of this kind is necessary; the Universal Mind can be depended upon to find the ways and means for bringing about any necessary manifestation. We must, however, create the ideal, and this ideal should be perfect.
10-16 A lack of understanding of the laws governing in the invisible world has the same result, and many are suffering the consequences all the time.
So the journey goes on
10-23. This exercise consists in making an application of your knowledge. Knowledge will not apply itself. You must make the application. Abundance will not come to you out of the sky, neither will it drop into your lap, but a conscious realization of the law of attraction and the intention to bring it into operation for a certain, definite and specific purpose, and the will to carry out this purpose will bring about the materialization of your desire by a natural law of transference. If you are in business, it will increase and develop along regular channels, possibly new or unusual channels of distribution will be opened and when the law becomes fully operative, you will find that the things
you seek are seeking you.
