image　of　an　airplane　in　flight；　but　if　they　had　not　〃Expected〃　to　
succeed；　they　would　surely　have　quit　the　first　time　they　met　
with　defeat。　Since　they　did　not；　we　are　now　only　hours　away　
from　anywhere　in　the　world…in　fact；　we　can　even　reach　other　
planets　within　a　very　short　span　of　time。　Edison　built　and　held　
an　image　which　illuminated　the　entire　world　and；　as　a　result；　
we　no　longer　need　to　spend　half　of　our　days　groping　in　
darkness。　You　should　realize　that　you　too　can　change　your　
world；　just　as　John　and　Pat　did；　by　building　an　image　in　your　
mind　of　exactly　the　way　you　would　like　to　live。　But　always　
remember；　you　will　only　receive　what　you　truly　〃Expect〃；　not　
what　you　only　wish　for。　


There　are　three　certain　steps　for　achieving　prosperity　in　
all　areas　of　your　life。　Number　one；　build　the　image　in　your　
mind。　Number　two；　turn　it　over　to　Spirit　（Let　Go　And　Let　God）。　
Number　three；　expect　with　your　heart　and　soul　that　Spirit　will　
reward　you　openly　for　your　faith。　

Expect　An　Abundance　


The　Law　of　Vibration　and　Attraction　

　

〃Any　idea　that　is　held　in　the　mind　
that　is　either　feared　or　revered　will；　begin　at　once　
to　clothe　itself　in　the　most　convenient　
and　appropriate　physical　forms　available。〃　

…　Andrew　Carnegie　

Dr。　Wernher　von　Braun　

In　an　interview　held　with　Dr。　Wernher　von　Braun　in　
February　of　1976；　Dr。　von　Braun　was　quoted　as　follows：　〃After　
years　of　probing　the　spectacular　mysteries　of　the　universe；　I　
have　been　led　to　a　firm　belief　in　the　existence　of　God。　The　
grandeur　of　the　cosmos　serves　only　to　confirm　my　belief　in　the　
certainty　of　a　creator。　I　just　cannot　envision　this　whole　
universe　coming　into　being　without　something　like　divine　will。　
The　natural　laws　of　the　universe　are　so　precise　that　we　have　
no　difficulty　building　a　spaceship　to　fly　to　the　moon　and　can　
time　the　flight　with　the　precision　of　a　fraction　of　a　second。　
These　laws　must　have　been　set　by　somebody。〃　Dr。　von　Braun　
went　on　to　say；　that　〃science〃　and　〃religion；〃　properly　
understood；　are　not　antagonistic　pursuits。　On　the　contrary；　he　
affirmed；　they　are　〃sister　disciplines。〃　Through　the　scientific　
method；　one　learns　more　about　〃creation；〃　whereas；　by　virtue　
of　the　study　of　religion；　one　gains　a　greater　insight　into　the　
〃creator。〃　By　employing　the　tools　of　science；　man　attempts　to　
harness　the　forces　of　nature　which　surround　him；　through　
religion；　on　the　other　hand；　he　endeavors　to　control　the　〃forces　
of　nature；〃　which　are　at　work　within　him。　After　a　brief　pause；　
he　added；　〃There　would　not　be　a　single　great　accomplishment　
in　the　history　of　mankind　without　faith　。。。　Any　person　who　
strives　to　accomplish　something　needs　a　degree　of　faith　in　
himself　and　when　he　takes　on　a　challenge　that　requires　more　
and　more　moral　strength　than　he　can　muster；　he　needs　faith　
in　God。〃　


Years　before　anyone　would　accept　the　idea　of　a　man　
traveling　to　the　moon　and　back；　Dr。　von　Braun　was　asked；　
〃What　would　it　take　to　make　a　rocket　to　reach　the　moon。〃　He　
replied　simply；　〃The　will　to　do　it。〃　von　Braun　was；　clearly；　a　
brilliant　man　who　possessed　a　great　understanding　of　life　and　
a　tremendous　awareness　of　the　laws　of　the　universe。　In　fact；　
he　is　considered；　by　many　experts　in　the　field；　to　be　the　
〃Father〃　of　the　space　program。　Like　all　great　achievers；　he　had　
gained　a　profound　insight　into　the　〃spiritual〃　laws　of　life；　and　
one　of　those　laws　is　the　Law　of　Attraction。　This　is　the　law　I　
would　like　to　delve　into　now。　

Indeed；　an　understanding　of　this　particular　law　is　
actually　the　key　to　understanding　this　entire　book。　The　reason　
this　is　so；　is　that　〃The　Law　of　Attraction〃　is　the　underlying　
principle　which　governs　the　level　of　your　personal　prosperity。　
However；　to　help　you　achieve　a　really　solid　grasp　of　this　
concept；　it　will　be　necessary　for　us　to　focus　briefly　on　another　
law；　namely；　the　〃Law　of　Vibration。〃　

The　Law　of　Vibration　accounts　for　the　difference　between　
mind　and　matter；　between　the　physical　and　the　nonphysical　
worlds。　

According　to　the　Law　of　Vibration；　we　postulate　that　
everything　vibrates　or　moves；　nothing　sits　idle。　Everything　is　in　
a　constant　state　of　motion；　and　therefore；　there　is　no　such　
thing　as　〃inertia〃；　or　a　state　of　rest。　From　the　most　ethereal；　to　
the　most　gross　form　of　matter；　everything　is　in　a　constant　state　
of　vibration。　

Moving　from　the　lowest　to　the　highest　degree　of　vibration；　
we　discover　there　are　literally　millions　upon　millions　of　
intervening　levels　or　degrees；　from　the　electron　to　the　universe；　
everything　is　in　vibratory　motion。　（Energy　is　manifested　in　all　
the　varying　degrees　of　vibration。）　

〃Rates　of　vibration〃　are　called　〃frequencies；〃　and　the　
higher　the　frequency；　the　more　potent　the　force。　Since　thought　


is　one　of　the　highest　forms　of　vibration；　it　is　very　potent　in　
nature　and　therefore；　it　must　be　understood　by　all　of　us。　

Now；　the　Law　of　Vibration　may　be　explained　in　many　
different　ways；　depending　upon　the　purpose　for　which　it　is　
being　explained。　In　this　chapter；　however；　it　is　our　intention　to　
confine　our　inquiry　to　thoughts　alone；　so　we　may　thereby　
improve　our　understanding　of　the　Law　of　Attraction。　

Vibration　

To　vibrate　means：　〃to　move　backwards　and　forwards；　to　
oscillate；　to　shake；　to　quiver；　to　swing；　to　waver；　to　cause　to　
quiver。〃　

To　obtain　a　more　graphic　conceptualization　of　the　idea　of　
Vibration；　just　stretch　out　one　of　your　arms　straight　in　front　of　
you。　Then　hold　it　perfectly　still。　While　you　are　holding　it　still　
and　are　unable　to　perceive　any　motion　in　that　arm　at　all；　know　
that　the　electrons　which　compose　the　arm；　are　moving；　
shaking；　quivering；　or　vibrating；　at　the　rate　of　186；300　miles　
per　second。　

The　arm　appears　still　to　you；　but　in　reality　it　is　in　a　
constant　state　of　motion。　Of　course；　although　such　motion　is　
imperceptible　to　the　naked　eye；　under　a　high…powered　
microscope　it　would　become　very　apparent；　indeed。　

Now；　begin　to　shake　your　arm。　You；　yourself；　are　now　
causing　the　arm　to　vibrate。　It　was　already　vibrating　of　its　own　
accord；　in　obedience　to　the　Law　of　Vibration　（which　teaches　
that　everything　is　in　constant　motion）。　But　you　have　stepped　
up；　or　increased；　the　rate　of　that　vibration。　You　have　pushed　
down　on　the　vibratory　accelerator　pedal；　as　it　were。　

Positive　And　Negative　Personalities　

〃The　mind　in　itself　and　in　its　own　place　
can　make　a　hell　out　of　heaven　
or　a　heaven　out　of　hell。〃　


…　John　Milton　

People；　as　a　rule；　can　be　classified　as　positive　
personalities　（optimists）　or　negative　personalities　（pessimists）。　

Those　individuals　who　are　positive　in　their　thoughts　
always　tend　to　look　upon　the　brighter　side　of　life。　With　their　
faces　turned　toward　the　sunshine；　they　attempt　to　see　the　
good；　even　in　the　bad。　Such　individuals　habitually　think　
thoughts　of　a　positive　nature　and　they　are　a　blessing　to　the　
world。　They　are　in　a　〃Positive　Vibration；〃　and　therefore　attract　
other　positive　personalities　to　them。　

Negative　personalities；　on　the　other　hand；　habitually　look　
upon　the　dark；　gloomy；　and　depressing　side　of　life。　Even　the　
good　holds　some　bad　for　them。　They　dwell　on　the　bad　and　the　
negative。　They　think　about　it；　anticipate　it；　expect　it；　and　
invariably　they　receive　what　they　have　been　seeking。　Due　to　
the　negative　vibration　which　they　keep　themselves　in；　they　of　
course　attract　other　miserable　personalities　to　them。　As　you　
are　already　aware；　〃misery　loves　company。〃　

Their　state　of　mind　can　be　compared　to　the　person　who；　
upon　being　asked　how　he　felt；　said；　

〃I　feel　alright　today；　but　I　might　feel　bad　tomorrow。〃　

Negative　personalities　are　depressing　to　everyone　around　
them。　Their　faces　take　on　the　expression；　in　physical　form；　of　
the　negative　thoughts　which　they　are　holding　in　their　minds。　
Each　day；　one　can　observe　such　individuals　passing　on　the　
street。　No　cheer；　no　joy　radiates　from　them…just　gloom；　frowns　
and　hostility。　Having　created　their　own　hell　for　themselves；　
they　seem　to　enjoy　wallowing　in　it。　

The　law　of　Polarity　and　Relativity　states　that　for　every　
positive　there　is　an　equal　and　opposite　negative。　Therefore；　
both　of　these　personality　types　are　necessary；　so　you　can　
develop　the　awareness　to　distinguish　one　from　the　other；　and　
in　that　manner；　choose　the　one　which　will　advance　you　in　life。　


You　do　have　Free　Will。　You　can　choose　which　of　these　two　
personality　types　you　wish　to　adopt。　Therefore；　if　a　person　is　
constantly　negative；　but　tires　of　that　state；　the　person　may；　
through　awareness　and　proper　effort；　change　himself　into　a　
positive　personality　type　of　individual。　

Understand　this…The　Law　of　Vibration　will　give　people　the　
awareness　they　require；　to　make　the　personality　changes　they　
desire。　

The　Brain　…　The　Body　

The　human　body；　believe　it　or　not；　is　one　of　the　most　
efficient　electrical　instruments　in　this　entire　universe。　The　
human　brain；　similarly；　is　probably　the　most　efficient　electrical　
instrument　ever　created。　Both　are　truly　marvels。　

The　brain　is　the　part　of　the　body　where　all　manner　of　
frequencies　are　transformed　from　one　frequency　level　into　
another。　In　the　brain；　for　example；　sensations　are　transformed　
into　muscular　action。　Sound；　heat；　light　and　thought　are　also；　
each　in　their　turn；　transformed　into　other　frequencies；　each　
affecting　the　body。　

Within　the　brain　there　are　centers　which　control　and　
regulate　the　functioning　of　all　organs　and　parts　of　the　body。　By　
means　of　the　proper　stimulation　of　these　centers；　the　
functioning　of　the　organs　may　thereby　be　controlled。　In　our　
seminars；　we　refer　to　this　phenomenon　as　the　vibratory　control　
of　the　body。　

In　the　final　analysis；　the　brain　is　simply　a　vibratory　
instrument。　To　begin　to　understand　its　functioning　you　must　
undertake　the　study　of　the　Law　of　Vibration。　

Since　the　early　1940's；　we　have　had　at　our　disposal　the　
EEG　（electroencephalograph）；　which　reads　the　electrical　
activity　of　the　brain；　and　the　ECG　（electrocardiograph）；　which　
traces　the　electrical　changes　which　occur　during　heart　
contractions。　


Therefore；　vibrations　are　certainly　not　something　which　
are　new　to　us。　Indeed；　all　of　us　have　an　awareness　of　them。　
However；　the　problem　which　we　encounter　is　that　the　vast　
majority　of　people　are　not　aware　of　the　connection　between　
their　vibrations　and　their　results　in　life。　

It　is；　unfortunately；　a　very　common　sight　to　see　people　in　
bad　or　confused　vibrations；　busily　attempting…through　force…to　
achieve　good　results。　However；　due　to　the　negative　vibration　
which　they　are　in；　they　are　continually　being　bombarded　by　all　
manner　of　negative　people　and　situations；　which　by　law；　are　
being　attracted　to　them。　Consequently；　at　some　point；　their　
battle　must　become　overwhelming　for　them。　

These　people　may　be　likened　to　a　person　who　is　jumping　
off　the　top　of　a　building；　and　trying　to　go　up；　at　one　and　the　
same　time。　The　result；　in　either　case；　would　be　equally　
predictable　and　equally　disastrous。　

Everything　Is　Energy；　Everything　Vibrates　

For　you　to　gain　a　better　awareness　of　how　you　are　to　take　
control　over　your　results　（i。e。　to　better　understand　how　a
