When you have what you term “a difficult decision” to
make, or when you fail to see the solution to your problem, begin
at once to think constructively about it. If you are fearful
and worried, you are not really thinking. True thinking is free
from fear.
Here is a simple technique you can use to receive guidance
on any subject: Quiet the mind and still the body. Tell the body
to relax; it has to obey you. It has no volition, initiative, or self-
conscious intelligence. Your body is an emotional disk which
records your beliefs and impressions.
Mobilize your attention; focus your thought on the solution
to your problem. Try to solve it with your conscious mind.
Think how happy you would be about the perfect solution.
Sense the feeling you would have if the perfect answer
were yours now. Let your mind play with this mood in a relaxed
way; then drop off to sleep. When you awaken, and you do
not have the answer, get busy.about something else. Probably,
when you are preoccupied with something else, the answer
will come into your mind like toast pops out of a toaster. In
receiving guidance from the subconscious mind, the simple
way is the best. This is an illustration: I once lost a valuable
ring which was an heirloom I looked everywhere for it and
could not locate it. At night I talked to the subconscious in the
same manner that I would talk to anyone. I said to it prior to
dropping off to sleep, “You know all things; you know where
that ring is, and you now reveal to me where it is.”
In the morning I awoke suddenly with the words ringing
in my ear, “Ask Robert!”
I thought it very strange that I should ask Robert, a young
boy about nine years of age; however, I followed the inner voice of intuition. Robert said, “Oh, yes, I picked it up in the
yard while I was playing with the boys. I placed it on the desk
in my room. I did not think it worth anything, so I did not say
anything about it” The subconscious mind will always answer
you if you trust it.
