LESSON
XVIII. MENTAL CONTROL THROUGH CREATION
I
attended a banquet of inventors recently. Each inventor gave a
short
talk on something he thought would be accomplished in the
future.
Many very much needed things were spoken of. One inventor
spoke of
the possibilities of wireless telephone. Distance, he
said,
would shortly be annihilated. He thought we would soon be
able to
talk to the man in the submarine forty fathoms below the
surface
and a thousand miles away. When he got through he asked
if there
were any that doubted what he said. No one spoke up.
This was
not a case of tactful politeness, as inventors like to
argue,
but a case where no one present really doubted that the
inventor's
vision would, in the future, materialize.
These
shrewd men, some real geniuses, all thought we would in
time be
able to talk to those a thousand miles away without
media.
Now, if we can make an instrument so wonderful that we can
send
wireless messages a thousand miles, is there any reason why
we
should not through mental control transmit messages from one
person
to another? The wireless message should not be as easy to
send as
the projected thought.
The day
will come when all business will employ highly developed
persons
to send out influences. These influences will be so
dominating
that employes will be partly controlled by them and so
you will
profit more and more by your mental powers and depend on
them to
draw to you all forces of a helpful nature. You will be
constantly
sending out suggestions to your employes and friends.
They
will receive these unconsciously, but in case yours is the
stronger
personality they will carry them out the same as if you
had
spoken them.
This is
being done even today. A finely organized company secures
the
combined effort of all its men. They may be each doing a
different
kind of work, but all work to bring about the very best
results.
The whole atmosphere is impregnated with a high standard
of
workmanship. Everyone feels he must do his best. He could not
be in
such surroundings and be satisfied to do anything but his
best
work.
A
business will succeed only to the extent that the efforts of
all are
co-ordinated towards one result. At least one person is
needed
to direct all toward the desired end. The person at the
head
does not have to exactly outline to the others what steps to
take,
but he must possess the mental power of control over
others.
An
up-to-date business letter is not written in a casual,
commonplace
way today. The writer tries to convey something he
thinks
the receiver will be interested to know. In this way he
awakens
a responsive spirit. Sometimes just the addition of a
word or
two will change a letter of the matter-of-fact style to
one that
compels a response. It is not always what is actually in
a
letter, but the spirit which it breathes that brings results.
That
intangible something that defies analysis is the projected
thought
of the master that brings back the harvest that it
claims.
But we
should not always claim success for ourselves only. If you
are
anxious that some friend or relative should succeed, think of
this
person as becoming successful. Picture him in the position
you
would like to see him in. If he has a weakness, desire and
command
that it be strengthened; think of his shortcomings which
belong
to his negative nature as being replaced by positive
qualities.
Take a certain part of the day to send him thoughts of
an
up-building nature. You can in this way arouse his mental
powers
into activity, and once aroused, they will assert
themselves
and claim their own.
We can
accomplish a great deal more than many of us are ready to
believe
by sending to another our direct, positive and
controlling
suggestions of leadership, but whether a man is a
success
or not is greatly determined by the way he acts on the
suggestions
he receives.
We
either advance or decline. We never stand still. Every time we
accomplish
something it gives us ability to do greater things.
The
bigger the attempt undertaken, the greater the things
accomplished
in the future. As a business grows, the head of the
business
also has to grow. He must advance and be ever the
guiding
influence. By his power to control, he inspires
confidence
in those associated with him. Often employes are
superior
to their employers in some qualities, and, if they had
studied,
instead of neglected their development, they could have
been
employers of more commanding influence than those whom they
serve.
Through
your mental power you can generate in another enthusiasm
and the
spirit of success, which somehow furnishes an impetus to
do
something worth while.
In
concentrated mental control, there is a latent power more
potent
than physical force. The person becomes aware that the
attitude
of the mind has a power of controlling, directing and
governing
other forces. He has been placed in an attitude capable
of
acquiring that which he desires.
All of
us no matter how strong we are, are affected by the mental
forces
of our environment. There is no one that can remain
neutral
to influences. The mind cannot be freed from the forces
of a
place. If the environment of your place of business is not
helpful,
it will be harmful. That is why a change of position
will
often do a person a great deal of good.
No
person was ever intended to live alone. If you are shut up
with
only your own thoughts you suffer from mental starvation.
The mind
becomes narrow; the mental powers weaken. Living alone
often
causes some of the milder forms of insanity. If children do
not play
with those their own age, but associate with only older
people,
they will take on the actions of the older people. The
same is
true of older persons if they associate with people
younger
than they are. They take on the spirit of youth. If you
wish to
retain your youth you need the influences of youth. Like
attracts
like all over the world.
The
thought element plays a great part in our lives. Every
business
must not only command physical effort but it must also
command
thought effort. There must be co-ordination of thought.
All employers
should aim to secure employes that think along
similar
lines. They will work in fuller sympathy with each other.
They
will better understand each other. This enables them to help
each
other, which would be utterly impossible if they were not in
sympathy
with each other. It is this that goes to make up a
perfect
organization, which directs and influences them toward
the one
end. Instead of each person being a separate unit, each
one is
like a spoke in a big wheel. Each member carries his own
load, and
he would not think of shirking. Anyone working in such
an
atmosphere could not help turning out his best work.
All
great leaders must be able to inspire this co-operative
spirit.
They first secure assistance through their mental
control.
They then make their assistants realize the value of
mental
control. Soon there is a close bond between them; they are
working
toward a single purpose. They profit by their combined
effort.
The result is that they accomplish much.
If your
business is conducted in the right spirit, you can
instill
your thoughts and your ideas into your employes. Your
methods
and ideas become theirs. They don't know it, but your
mental
forces are shaping their work. They are just as certain to
produce
results as any physical force in nature.
The
up-to-date business man of the future is going to take pains
to get
his employes to think and reason better. He will not want
them to
become depressed or discouraged. There is time that
instead
of being wasted he will endeavor to have them use in
concentrated
effort that will be profitable to both employer and
employed.
There must be more of the spirit of justice enter into
the
business of the future.
There is
a firm I know that will not hire an employe until he has
filled
out an application blank. No doubt those that fill it out
think it
is foolishness, but it is not. A capable manager can
look
over this application blank and pretty nearly tell if this
person
will fit into his management. The main thing he wants to
know is
the applicant's capacity for efficient co-operative
effort.
He wants persons that have faith in themselves. He wants
them to
realize that when they talk of misfortunes and become
blue
they are likely to communicate the same depressing influence
to
others. The up-to-date manager wants to guard against hiring
employes
who will obstruct his success.
You must
realize that every moment spent in thinking of your
difficulties
of the past, every moment spent in bad company is
attracting
to you all that is bad; is attracting influences that
must be
shaken off before you can advance.
Many
firms prefer to hire employes that never worked before so
that
they have nothing to unlearn. They are then not trained, but
have no
bad business habits to overcome. They are more easily
guided
and grasp the new methods more effectively because they
are not
contrary to what they have already learned. They are at
once
started on the right road, and as they co-operate readily
they
receive the mental support of the management in learning the
methods
that have been perfected. This inspires confidence in
themselves
and they soon become efficient and, finally, skilled
workers.
Most big
business firms today employ efficiency experts. Each day
or week
they are in a different department. They earn their money
because
they familiarize persons with very little business
experience
with plans that has taken the "expert" years of
training
and much money to perfect.
The
attitude we take has a great deal more to do with our success
than
most of us realize. We must be able to generate those forces
that are
helpful. There is a wonderful power in the thought
rightly
controlled and projected and we must through
Psychic
- Concentration develop this power to the fullest possible extent.
We are
surrounded by many forces of which we know but little at
present.
Our knowledge of these is to be wonderfully increased.
Each
year we learn more about these psychic forces which are full
of
possibilities of which we are not even dimly conscious. We
must
believe in mental control, learn more about it, and use it,
if we
want to command these higher powers and forces which will
unquestionably
direct the lives of countless future generations.
