More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLesson I: Consciousness Is The Only Reality 
This is going to be a very practical course. Therefore, I hope that every -
one in this class has a very clear picture of what he desires, for I am con -
vinced that you can realize your desires by the technique you will receive 
here this week in these five lessons. That you may receive the full benefit of these instructions, let me state 
now that the Bible has no reference at all to any persons who ever existed
or to any event that ever occurred upon earth. The ancient story tellers were not writing history but an allegorical picture
lesson of certain basic principles which they clothed in the garb of history,
and they adapted these stories to the limited capacity of a most uncritical 
and credulous people. The difference between the form of the Bible and its substance is as great
as the difference between a grain of corn and the life germ without that 
grain. As our assimilative organs discriminate between food that can be 
built into our system and food that must be discarded, so do our awak -
ened intuitive faculties discover beneath allegory and parable, the psycho -
logical life-germ of the Bible; and, feeding on this, we too, cast off the 
form which conveyed the message. The argument against the historicity of the Bible is too lengthy; conse -
quently, it is not suitable for inclusion in this practical psychological inter -
pretation of its stories. Therefore, I will waste no time in trying to con -
vince you that the Bible is not an historical fact. Tonight I will take four stories and show you what the ancient story-tellers
intended that you and I should see in these stories. The ancient teachers 
attached psychological truths to phallic and solar allegories. They did not 
know as much of the physical structure of man as do modern scientists, 
neither did they know as much about the heavens as do our modern as -
tronomers. But the little they did know they used wisely and they built 
phallic and solar frames to which they tied the great psychological truths 
that they had discovered. In the Old Testament you will find much of the Phallic worship. Because it 
is not helpful, I am not going to emphasize it. I shall only show you how 
to interpret it. Before we come to the first of the psychological dramas that you and I 
may use in a practical sense, let me state the two outstanding names of 
the Bible: the one you and I translate as GOD or JEHOVAH, and the one 
we call his son, which we has as JESUS. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenThe ancients spelled these names by using little symbols. The ancient 
tongue, called the Hebraic language, was not a tongue that you exploded 
with the breath. It was a mystical language never uttered by man. Those 
who understood it, understood it as mathematicians understand symbols 
of higher mathematics. It is not something people used to convey thought
as I now use the English language. They said that God's name was spelled, JOD HE VAU HE. I shall take 
these symbols and in our normal, down to earth language, explain them 
in this manner. The first letter, JOD in the name of GOD is a hand or a seed, not just a 
hand, but the hand of the director. If there is one organ of man that dis -
criminates and sets him apart from the entire world of creation it is his 
hand. What we call a hand in the anthropoid ape is not a hand. It is used 
only for the purpose of conveying food to the mouth, or to swing branch 
to branch. Man's hand fashions, it molds. You cannot really express your -
self without the hand. This is the builder's hand, the hand of the director; 
it directs and molds, and builds within your world. The ancient story-tellers called the first letter JOD, the hand, or the abso -
lute seed out of which the whole of creation will come. To the second letter, HE, they gave the symbol of a window. A window is 
an eye – the window is to the house what the eye is to the body. The third letter, VAU, they called a nail. A nail is used for the purpose of 
binding things together. The conjunction “and” in the Hebraic tongue is 
simply the third letter, or VAU. If I want to say 'man and woman', I put 
the VAU in the middle, it binds them together. The fourth and last letter, HE, is another window or eye. In this modern, down to earth language of ours, you can forget eyes and 
windows and hands and look at it in this manner. You are seated here 
now. This first letter, JOD, is your I Amness, your awareness. You are 
aware of being aware – that is the first letter. Out of this awareness all 
states of awareness come. The second letter, HE, called an eye, is your imagination, your ability to 
perceive. You imagine or perceive something which seems to be other 
than Self. As though you were lost in reverie and contemplated mental 
states in a detached manner, making the thinker and his thoughts sepa -
rate entities. The third letter, VAU, is your ability to feel that you are that which you de -
sire to be. As you feel you are it, you become aware of being it. To walk 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenas though you were what you want to be is to take your desire out of the 
imaginary world and put the VAU upon it. You have completed the drama 
of creation. I am aware of something. Then I become aware of actually 
being that of which I was aware. The fourth and last letter in the name of God is another HE, another eye, 
meaning the visible objective world which constantly bears witness of that
which I am conscious of being. You do nothing about the objective world; 
it always molds itself in harmony with that which you are conscious of be -
ing. You are told this is the name by which all things are made, and without it 
there is nothing made that is made. The name is simply what you have 
now as you are seated here. You are conscious of being, aren't you? Cer -
tainly you are. You are also conscious of something that is other than 
yourself: the room, the furniture, the people. You may become selective now. Maybe you do not want to be other than 
what you are, or to own what you see. But you have the capacity to feel 
what it would be like were you now other than what you are. As you as -
sume that you are that which you want to be, you have completed the 
name of God or the JOD HE VAU HE. The final result, the objectification of
your assumption, is not your concern. It will come into view automatically
as you assume the consciousness of being it. Now let us turn to the Son's name, for he gives the Son dominion over 
the world. You are that Son, you are the great Joshua, or Jesus, of the 
Bible. You know the name Joshua or Jehoshua we have Anglicized as Je -
sus. The Son's name is almost like the Father's name. The first three letters of 
the Father's name are the first three letters of the Son's name, JOD HE 
VAU, then you add a SHIN and an AYIN, making the Son's name read, 
JOD HE VAU SHIN AYIN. You have heard what the first three are: JOD HE VAU. JOD means that 
you are aware; He means that you are aware of something; and VAU 
means that you became aware of being that of which you were aware. You have dominion because you have the ability to conceive and to be -
come that which you conceive. That is the power of creation. But why is a SHIN put in the name of the Son? Because of the infinite 
mercy of our Father. Mind you, the Father and the Son are one. But when
the Father becomes conscious of being man he puts within the condition 
called man that which he did not give unto himself. He puts a SHIN for 
this purpose; a SHIN is symbolized as a tooth. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenA tooth is that which consumes, that which devours. I must have within 
me the power to consume that which I now dislike. I, in my ignorance, 
brought to birth certain things I know dislike and would like to leave be -
hind me. Were there not within me the flames that would consume it, I 
would be condemned forever to live in a world of all my mistakes. But 
there is a SHIN, or flame, within the name of the Son, which allows that 
Son to become detached from states HE formerly expressed within the 
world. Man is incapable of seeing other than the contents of his own con -
sciousness. If I now become detached in consciousness from this room by turning my 
attention away from it, then, I am no longer conscious of it. There is 
something in me that devours it within me. It can only live within my ob -
jective world if I keep it alive within my consciousness. It is the SHIN, or a tooth, in the Son's name that gives him absolute do -
minion. Why could it not have been in the Father's name? For this simple 
reason: nothing can cease to be in the Father. Even the unlovely things 
cannot cease to be. If I once give it expression, forever and ever it re -
mains locked within the dimensionally greater Self which is the Father. But
I would not like to keep alive within my world all of my mistakes. So I, in 
my infinite mercy gave to myself, when I became man, the power to be -
come detached from these things that I, in my ignorance, brought to birth
in my world. These are the two names which give you dominion. You have dominion if, 
as you walk the earth, you know that your consciousness if God, the one 
and only reality. You become aware of something you would like to ex -
press or possess. You have the ability to feel that you are and possess 
that which but a moment before was imaginary. The final result, the em -
bodying of your assumption, is completely outside of the offices of a  
three-dimensional mind. It comes to birth in a way that no man knows. If these two names are clear in your mind's eye, you will see that they are
your eternal names. As you sit here, you are this JOD HE VAU HE, you are
the JOD HE VAU SHIN AYIN. The stories of the Bible concern themselves exclusively with the power of 
imagination. They are really dramatizations of the technique of prayer, for
prayer is the secret of changing the future. The Bible reveals the key by 
which man enters a dimensionally larger world for the purpose of chang -
ing the conditions of the lesser world in which he lives. A prayer granted implies that something is done in consequence of the 
prayer, which otherwise would not have been done. Therefore, man is the 
spring of action, the directing mind, and the one who grants the prayer. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenThe stories of the Bible contain a powerful challenge to the thinking ca -
pacity of man. The underlying truth – that they are psychological dramas 
and not historical facts – demands reiteration, inasmuch as it is the only 
justification for the stories. With a little imagination we may easily trace 
the psychological sense in all the stories of the Bible. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, and after our likeness; and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the 
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping 
thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own im -
age, in the image of God created he him.” (Gen 1:26, 27). Here in the first chapter of the Bible the ancient teachers laid the founda -
tion that God and man are one, and that man has dominion over all the 
earth. If God and man are one, then God can never be so far off as even 
to be near, for nearness implies separation. The question arises: What is God? God is man's consciousness, his aware -
ness, his I Amness. The drama of life is a psychological one in which we 
bring circumstances to pass by our attitudes rather than by our acts. The 
cornerstone on which all things are based is mans concept of himself. He 
acts as he does, and has the experiences that he does, because of his 
concept of himself is what it is, and for no other reason. Had he a differ -
ent concept of himself, he would act differently and have different experi -
ences. Man, by assuming the feeling of his wish fulfilled, alters his future in har -
mony with his assumption, for, assumptions though false, if sustained, will
harden into fact. The undisciplined mind finds it difficult to assume a state which is denied 
by the senses. But the ancient teachers discovered that sleep, or a state 
akin to sleep, aided man in making his assumption. Therefore, they dra -
matized the first creative act of man as one in which man was in a pro -
found sleep. This not only sets the pattern for all future creative acts, but 
shows us that man has but one substance that is truly his to use in creat -
ing his world and that is himself. “And the Lord God (man) caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he 
slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman.”
(Gen 2:21, 22). Before God fashions this woman for man he brings unto Adam the beasts 
of the field, and the fowls of the air and has Adam name them. “Whatso -
ever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.”
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenif you will take a concordance or a Bible dictionary and look up the word 
thigh as used in this story you will see that it has nothing to do with the 
thigh. It is defined as the soft parts that are creative in a man, that hang 
upon the thigh of a man. The ancient story-tellers used this phallic frame to reveal a great psycho -
logical truth. An angel is a messenger of God. You are God, as you have 
just discovered, for your consciousness is God, and you have an idea, a 
message. You are wrestling with an idea, for you do not know that you 
are already that which you contemplate, neither do you believe you could 
become it. You would like to, but you do not believe you could. Who wrestles with the angel? Jacob. And the word Jacob, by definition, 
means the supplanter. You would like to transform yourself and become 
that which reason and your senses deny. As you wrestle with your ideal, 
trying to feel that you are it, this is what happens. When you actually feel 
that you are it, something goes out of you. You may use the words, “Who 
has touched me, for I perceive virtue has gone out of me?”
You become for a moment, after a successful meditation, incapable in the 
act, as though it were a physical creative act. You are just as impotent af -
ter you have prayed successfully as you are after the physical creative 
act. When satisfaction is yours, you no longer hunger for it. If the hunger 
persists you did not explode the idea within you, you did not actually suc -
ceed in becoming conscious of being that which you wanted to be. There 
was still that thirst when you came out of the deep. If I can feel that I am that which but a few seconds ago I knew I was not,
but desired to be, then I am no longer hungry to be it. I am no longer 
thirsty because I feel satisfied in that state. Then something shrinks with -
in me, not physically but in my feeling, in my consciousness, for that is 
the creativeness of man. He so shrinks in desire, he loses the desire to 
continue in this meditation. He does not halt physically, he simply has no 
desire to continue the meditative act. “When you pray believe that you have received, and you shall receive.” 
When the physical creative act is completed, the sinew which is upon the 
hollow of man's thigh shrinks, and man finds himself impotent or is halt -
ed. In like manner when a man prays successfully he believes that he is 
already that which he desired to be, therefore he cannot continue desiring
to be that which he is already conscious of being. At the moment of satis -
faction, physical and psychological, something goes out which in time 
bears witness to man's creative power. *****
Our next story is in the 38th chapter of the book of Genesis. Here is a King
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhose name is Judah, the first three letters of whose name also beings 
with JOD HE VAU. Tamar is his daughter-in-law. The word Tamar means a palm tree or the most beautiful, the most come -
ly. She is gracious and beautiful to look on and is called a palm tree. A 
tall, stately palm tree blossoms even in the desert – wherever it is there 
is an oasis. When you see the palm tree in the desert, there will be found 
what you seek most in that parched land. There is nothing more desirable
to a man moving across a desert than the sight of a palm tree. In our case, to be practical, our objective is the palm tree. That is the 
stately, beautiful one that we seek. Whatever it is that you and I want, 
what we truly desire, is personified in the story as Tamar the beautiful. We are told she dresses herself in the veils of a harlot and sits in the pub -
lic place. Her father-in-law, King Judah, comes by; and he is so in love 
with this one who is veiled that he offers her a kid to be intimate with her. She said, “What will you give me as a pledge that you will give me a kid?”
Looking around he said, “What do you want me to give as a pledge?”
She answered, “Give me your ring, give me your bracelets, and give me 
your staff.”
Whereupon, he took from his hand the ring, and the bracelet, and gave 
them to her along with his sceptre. And he went in unto her and knew 
her, and she bore him a son. That is the story; now for the interpretation. Man has one gift that is truly
his to give, and that is himself. He has no other gift, as told you in the 
very first creative act of Adam begetting the woman out of himself. There 
was no other substance in the world but himself with which he could fash -
ion the object of his desire. In like manner Judah had but one gift that 
was truly his to give – himself, as the ring, the bracelets and the the staff 
symbolized, for these were the symbols of his kingship. Man offers that which is not himself, but life demands that he give the one
thing that symbolizes himself. “Give me your ring, give me your bracelet, 
give me your sceptre.” There make the King. When he gives them he 
gives of himself. You are the great King Judah. Before you can know your Tamar and make 
her bear your likeness in the world, you must go in unto her and give of 
self. Suppose I want security. I cannot get it by knowing people who have 
it. I cannot get it by pulling strings. I must become conscious of being se -
cure. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLet us say I want to be healthy. Pills will not do it. Diet or climate will not 
do it. I must become conscious of being healthy by assuming the feeling 
of being healthy. Perhaps I want to be lifted up in this world. Merely looking at kings and 
presidents and noble people and living in their reflection will not make me
dignified. I must become conscious of being noble and dignified and walk 
as though I were that which I now want to be. When I walk in that light I give of myself to the image that haunted my 
mind, and in time she bears me a child; which means I objectify a world 
in harmony with that which I am conscious of being. You are King Judah and you are also Tamar. When you become conscious 
of being that which you want to be you are Tamar. Then you crystallize 
your desire within the world round about you. No matter what stories you read in the Bible, no matter how many char -
acters these ancient story-tellers introduced into the drama, there is one 
thing you and I must always bear in mind – they all take place within the 
mind of the individual man. All the characters live in the mind of the indi -
vidual man. As you read the story, make it fit the pattern of self. Know that your con -
sciousness is the only reality. Then know what you want to be. Then as -
sume the feeling of being that which you want to be, and remain faithful 
to your assumption, living and acting on your conviction. Always make it 
fit that pattern. *****
Our third interpretation is the story of Isaac and his two sons: Esau and 
Jacob. The picture is drawn of a blind man being deceived by his second 
son into giving him the blessing which belonged to his first son. The story 
stressed the point that the deception was accomplished through the sense
of touch. “And Isaac said unto Jacob, come near, I pray thee that I may feel thee, 
my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went near 
unto Isaac his father; and he felt him. And it came to pass, as soon as 
Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone 
out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in 
from his hunting.” (Gen 27:21). This story can be very helpful if you will re-enact it now. Again bear in 
mind that all the characters of the Bible are personifications of abstract 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenideas and must be fulfilled in the individual man. You are the blind father 
and both sons. Isaac is old and blind, and sensing the approach of death, calls his first 
son Esau a rough hairy boy, and sends him into the woods that he may 
bring in some venison. The second son, Jacob, a smooth skinned boy, overheard the request of 
his father. Desiring the birthright of his brother, Jacob, the smooth 
skinned son, slaughtered one of his father's flock and skinned it. Then, 
dressed in the hairy skins of the kid he had slaughtered, he came through
subtlety and betrayed his father into believing that he was Esau. The father said, “Come close my son that I may feel you. I cannot see, 
but come that I may feel.” Note the stress that is placed upon feeling in 
this story. He came close and the father said to him, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but 
the hands are the hands of Esau.” and Feeling the roughness, the reality 
of the son Esau, he pronounced the blessing and gave it to Jacob. You are told in the story that as Isaac pronounced the blessing and Jacob 
had scarcely gone out from his presence, that his brother Esau came in 
from his hunting. This is an important verse. Do not become distressed in our practical ap -
proach to it, for as you sit here you, too, are Isaac. This room in which 
you are seated is your present Esau. This is the rough or sensibly known 
world, known by the reason of your bodily organs. All of your senses bear 
witness to the fact that you are here in this room. Everything tells you 
that you are here, but perhaps you do not want to be here. You can apply this toward any objective. The room in which you are seat -
ed at any time – the environment in which you are placed, this is your 
rough or sensibly known world or son which is personified in the story as 
Esau. What you would like in place of what you have or are is your 
smooth skinned state or Jacob, the supplanter. You do not send your visible world hunting, as so many people do, by de -
nial. By saying it does not exist you make it all the more real. Instead, 
you simply remove your attention from the region of sensation which at 
this moment is the room round about you, and you concentrate your at -
tention on that which you want to put in its place, that which you want to 
make real. In concentrating on your objective, the secret is to bring it here. You must
make elsewhere here and then now. Imagine that you objective is so 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenclose that you can feel it. Suppose at this very moment I want a piano here in this room. To see a 
piano in my mind's eye existing elsewhere does not do it. But to visualize 
it in this room as though it were here and to put my mental hand upon 
the piano and to feel it solidly real, is to take that subjective state person -
ified as my second son Jacob and bring it so close that I can feel it. Isaac is called a blind man. You are blind because you do not see your ob -
jective with your bodily organs, you cannot see it with your objective 
senses. You only perceive it with your mind, but you bring it so close that 
you can feel it as though it were solidly real now. When this is done and 
you lose yourself in its reality and feel it to be real, open your eyes. When you open your eyes what happens? The room that you had shut out
but a moment ago returns from the hunt. You no sooner gave the blessing
– felt the imaginary state to be real – then the objective world, which 
seemingly was unreal, returns. It does not speak to you with words as 
recorded of Esau, but the very room round about you tells you by its 
presence that you have been self-deceived. It tells you that when you lost yourself in contemplation, feeling that you 
were now what you wanted to be, feeling that you now possess what you 
desire to possess, that you were simply deceiving self. Look at this room. It denies that you are elsewhere. If you know the law, you now say: “Even though your brother came 
through subtlety and betrayed me and took your birthright, I gave him 
your blessing and I cannot retract.” 
In other words, you remain faithful to this subjective reality and you do 
not take back from it the power of birth. You gave it the right of birth and 
it is going to become objective within this world of yours. There is no 
room in this limited space of yours for two things to occupy the same 
space at the same time. By making the subjective real it resurrects itself 
within your world. Take the idea that you want to embody, and assume that you are already 
it. Lose yourself in feeling this assumption is solidly real. As you give it 
this sense of reality, you have given it the blessing which belongs to the 
objective world, and you do not have to aid its birth any more than you 
have to aid the birth of a child or a seed you plant in the ground. The 
seed you plant grows unaided by a man, for it contains within itself all the
power and all the plans necessary for self-expression. You can this night re-enact the drama of Isaac blessing his second son 
and see what happens in the immediate future in your world. Your present
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenenvironment vanishes, all the circumstances of life change and make way 
for the coming of that to which you have given your life. As you walk, 
knowing that you are what you wanted to be, you objectify it without the 
assistance of another. *****
The fourth story for tonight is taken from the last of the books attributed 
to Moses. If you need proof that Moses did not write it, read the story 
carefully. It is found in the 34th chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. Ask 
any priest or rabbi, 'who is the author of this book? ', and they will tell you
that Moses wrote it. In the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy you will read of a man writing his own
obituary, that is, Moses wrote this chapter. A man may sit down and write 
what he would like to have placed upon his tombstone, but here is a man 
who writes his own obituary. And then he dies and so completely rubs 
himself out that he defies posterity to find where he has buried himself. “So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, accord -
ing to the word of the Lord. And he buried him in the valley in the land of 
Moab, over against Beth-poer: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre until 
this day. And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; 
his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.” (Deut. 34:5, 6, 7). You must this night – not tomorrow – learn the technique of writing your 
own obituary and so completely die to what you are that no man in this 
world can tell you whore you buried the old man. If you are now ill and 
you become well, and I know you by reason of the fact that you are ill, 
where can you point and tell me you buried the sick one? If you are impoverished and borrow from every friend you have, and then
suddenly you roll in wealth, where did you bury the poor man? You so 
completely rub out poverty in your mind's eye that there is nothing in this
world you can point to and claim, that is where I left it. A complete trans -
formation of consciousness rubs out all evidence that anything other than 
this ever existed in the world. The most beautiful technique for the realizing of man's objective is given 
in the first verse of the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy: 
“And Moses went up from the Plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, 
to the top of Pisgah, that is over again Jericho. And the Lord showed him 
all the land of Gilead, unto Dan.”
You read that verse and say, “So what?” But take a concordance and look 
up the words. The first word, Moses, means to draw out, to rescue, to lift 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenout, to fetch. In other words, Moses is the personification of the power in 
man that can draw out of man that which he seeks, for everything comes 
from within, not from without. You draw from within yourself that which 
you now want to express as something objective to yourself. You are Moses coming out of the plains of Moab. The word Moab is a con -
traction of two Hebraic words, Mem and Ab, meaning mother-father. Your 
consciousness is the mother-father, there is no other cause in the world. Your I Amness, your awareness, is this Moab or mother-father. You are al -
ways drawing something out of it. The next word is Nebo. In your concordance Nebo is defined as a prophe -
cy. A prophecy is something subjective. If I say, “So-and-so will be,” it is 
an image in the mind; it is not yet a fact. We must wait and either prove 
or disprove this prophecy. In our language Nebo is your wish, your desire. It is called a mountain 
because it is something that appears difficult to ascend and is therefore 
seemingly impossible of realization. A mountain is something bigger than 
you are, it towers over you. Nebo personifies that which you want to be in
contrast to that which you are. The word Pisgah, by definition, is to contemplate. Jericho is a fragrant 
odor. And Gilead means the hills of witnesses. The last word is Dan the 
Prophet. Now put them all together in a practical sense and see what the ancients 
tried to tell us. As I stand here, having discovered that my consciousness 
is God, and that I can, by simply feeling that I am what I want to be, 
transform myself into the likeness of that which I am assuming I am; I 
know now that I am all that it takes to scale this mountain. I define my objective. I do not call it Nebo. I call it my desire. Whatever I 
want, that is my Nebo, that is my great mountain that I am going to 
scale. I now begin to contemplate it, for I shall climb to the peak of Pis -
gah. I must contemplate my objective in such a manner that I get the reaction 
that satisfies. If I do not get the reaction that pleases then Jericho is not 
seen, for Jericho is a fragrant odor. When I feel that I am what I want to be I cannot suppress the joy that 
comes with that feeling. I must always contemplate my objective until I get the feeling of satisfac -
tion personified as Jericho. Then I do nothing to make it visible in my 
world; for the hills of Gilead, meaning men, women, children, the whole 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenvast world round about me, come bearing witness. They come to testify 
that I am what I have assumed myself to be, and am sustaining within 
myself. When my world conforms to my assumption the prophecy is ful -
filled. If I now know what I want to be, and assume that I am it, and walk as 
though I were, I become it and becoming it I so completely die to my for -
mer concept of self that I cannot point to any place in this world and say: 
that is where my former self is buried. I so completely died that I defy 
posterity to ever find where I buried my old self. There must be someone in this room who will so completely transform 
himself in this world that his close immediate circle of friends will not rec -
ognize him. For ten years I was a dancer, dancing in Broadway shows, in vaudeville, 
night clubs and in Europe. There was a time in my life when I thought I 
could not live without certain friends in my world. I would spread a table 
every night after the theater and we would all dine well. I thought I could 
never live without them. Now I confess I could not live with them. We 
have nothing in common today. When we meet we do not purposely walk 
on the opposite side of the street, but it is almost a cold meeting because 
we have nothing to discuss. I so died to that life that as I meet these peo -
ple they cannot even talk of the old times. But there are people living today who are still living in that state, getting 
poorer and poorer. They always like to talk about the old times. They nev -
er buried that man at all, he is very much alive within their world. Moses was 120 years, a full, wonderful age as 120 indicates. One plus two
plus zero equals three, the numerical symbol of expression. I am fully 
conscious of my expression. My eyes are undimmed and the natural func -
tions of my body are not abated. I am fully conscious of being what I do 
not want to be. But knowing this law by which a man transforms himself, I assume that I 
am what I want to be and walk in the assumption that it is done. In be -
coming it, the old man dies and all that was related to that former con -
cept of self dies with it. You cannot take any part of the old man into the 
new man. You cannot put new wine in old bottles or new patches on old 
garments. You must be a new being completely. As you assume that you are what you want to be, you do not need the as -
sistance of another to make it so. Neither do you need the assistance of 
anyone to bury the old man for you. Let the dead bury the dead. Do not 
even look back, for no man having put his hand to the plow and then 
looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenDo not ask yourself how this thing is going to be. It does not matter if 
your reason denies it. It does not matter if all the world round about you 
denies it. You do not have to bury the old. “Let the dead bury the dead.” 
You will so bury the past by remaining faithful to your new concept of self 
that you will defy the whole vast future to find where you buried it. To this
day no man in all of Israel has discovered the sepulchre of Moses. *****
These are the four stories I promised you tonight. You must apply them 
every day of your life. Even though the chair on which you are now seated
seems hard and does not lend itself to meditation you can in imagination 
make it the most comfortable chair in the world. Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it. I trust each 
one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire. Do not 
say it is impossible. Do you want it? You do not have to use your moral 
code to realize it. It is altogether outside the reach of your code. Consciousness is the one and only reality. Therefore, we must form the 
object of our desire out of our own consciousness. People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the 
suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming 
that which reason and your senses deny is one of the simple things you 
might slight. However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discov -
ered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved 
by all. The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objec -
tive – know definitely what you want. Second: construct an event which you believe would encounter FOLLOW -
ING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of 
your desire – something which will have the action of self predominant. The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin 
to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imag -
ine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND 
NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back
and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that 
the imaginary sensation is real to you. It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhich FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfill -
ment. For example, suppose you desired a promotion in office. Then being
congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfill -
ment of your desire. Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination 
to imply promotion in the office, immobilize your physical body and induce
a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still 
able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are at -
tentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put 
your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an 
imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAV -
ING BEEN PROMOTED. You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a dis -
tance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead, 
you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW. The difference between 
FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in ac -
tion, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference be -
tween success and failure. The difference will be appreciated if you will not visualize yourself climbing
a ladder. Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front 
of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT. Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies 
fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re-
enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise, 
your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of 
associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few sec -
onds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in 
point of space and years away in point of time. If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely
event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the 
action to climbing that particular flight of stairs. Should your attention 
wander off, bring it back to climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on do -
ing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of re -
ality. The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on 
your part. You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with 
the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort, 
but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are
able to control the movements of your attention. But a moderate degree 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenof drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts. A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the 
wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and 
over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your
desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” as though you ad -
dressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired. I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you 
here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives. Two weeks 
ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audi -
ence. I am safe in saying at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that 
which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized. This happened only two weeks ago. I did nothing to bring it to pass save 
to give them this technique of prayer. You need do nothing to bring it to 
pass – save apply this technique of prayer. With your eyes closed and your physical body immobilized induce a state 
akin to sleep and enter into the action as though you were an actor play -
ing the part. Experience in imagination what you would experience in the 
flesh were you now in possession of your objective. Make elsewhere HERE
and then NOW. And the greater you, using a larger focus will use all 
means, and call them good, which tend toward the production of that 
which you have assumed. You are relieved of all responsibility to make it so, because as you imagine
and feel that it is so your dimensionally larger self determines the means. Do not think for one moment that someone is going to be injured in order
to make it so, or that someone is going to be disappointed. It is still not 
your concern. I must drive this home. Too many of us, schooled in differ -
ent walks of life, are so concerned about the other. You ask, “If I get what I want will it not imply injury to another?” There 
are ways you know not of, so do not be concerned. Close your eyes now because we are going to be in a long silence. Soon 
you will become so lost in contemplation, feeling that you are what you 
want to be, that you will be totally unconscious of the fact that you are in 
this room with others. You will receive a shock when you open your eyes and discover we are 
here. It should be a shock when you open your eyes and discover that 
you are not actually that which, a moment before, you felt you were, or 
felt you possessed. Now we will go into the deep. Silence period. More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven*****
I need not remind you that you are now that which you have assumed 
that you are. Do not discuss it with anyone, not even self. You cannot take
thought as to the HOW, when you know that you ARE already. Your three-dimensional reasoning, which is a very limited reasoning in -
deed should not be brought into this drama. It does not know. What you 
have just felt to be true is true. Let no man tell you that you should not have it. What you feel that you 
have, you will have. And I promise you this much, after you have realized 
your objective, on reflection you will have to admit that this conscious 
reasoning mind of yours could never have devised the way. You are that and have that which this very moment you appropriated. Do 
not discuss it. Do not look to someone for encouragement because the 
thing might not come. It has come. Go about your Father's business doing
everything normally and let these things happen in your world. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLesson II: Assumptions Harden Into Fact
The Bible of ours has nothing to do with history. Some of you may yet be 
inclined tonight to believe that, although we can give it a psychological in -
terpretation, it still could be left in its present form and be interpreted lit -
erally. You cannot do it. The Bible has no reference at all to people or to 
events as you have been taught to believe. The sooner you begin to rub 
out that picture the better. We are going to take a few stories tonight, and again I am going to re -
mind you that you must re-enact all of these stories within your own 
mind. Bear in mind that although they seem to be stories of people fully awake, 
the drama is really between you, the sleeping one, the deeper you, and 
the conscious waking you. They are personified as people, but when you 
come to the point of application you must remember the importance of 
the drowsy state. All creation, as we told you last night, takes place in the state of sleep, or 
that state which is akin to sleep – the sleepy, drowsy state. We told you last night the first man is not yet awakened. You are Adam, 
the first man, still in the profound sleep. The creative you is the fourth-di -
mensional you whose home is simply the state you enter when men call 
you asleep. *****
Our first story for tonight is found in the Gospel of John. As you hear it 
unfold before you, I want you to compare it in your mind's eye to the sto -
ry you heard last night from the book of Genesis. The first book of the 
Bible, the book of Genesis, historians claim is the record of events which 
occurred on earth some 3000 years before the events recorded in the 
book of John. I ask you to be rational about it and see if you do not think 
the same writer could have written both stories. You be the judge as to 
whether the same inspired man could not have told the same story and 
told it differently. This is a very familiar story, the story of the trial of Jesus. In this Gospel 
of John it is recorded that Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate, and 
the crowd clamored for his life, they wanted Jesus. Pilate turned to them 
and said: 
“But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the 
Passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews? Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barab -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenbas was a robber.” (John 18:39, 40). You are told that Pilate had no choice in the matter, he was only a judge 
interpreting law, and this was the law. The people had to be given that 
which they requested. Pilate could not release Jesus against the wishes of
the crowd, and so he released Barabbas and gave unto them Jesus to be 
crucified. Now bear in mind that your consciousnesses is God. There is no other 
God. And you are told that God has a son whose name is Jesus. If you will
take the trouble to look up the word Barabbas in your concordance, you 
will see that it is a contraction of two Hebraic words: BAR, which means a 
daughter, son or child, and ABBA, which means father. Barabbas is the 
son of the great father. And Jesus in the story is called the Savior, the Son
of the Father. We have two sons in this story. And we have two sons in the story of Esau
and Jacob. Bear in mind that Isaac was blind, and justice to be true must 
be blind folded. Although in this case Pilate is not physically blind, the 
part given to Pilate implies that he is blind because he is a judge. On all 
the great law buildings of the world we see the lady or the man who rep -
resents justice as being blindfolded. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” 
(John 7:24). Here we find Pilate playing the same part as Isaac. There are two sons. All the characters as they appear in this story can apply to your own life. You have a son that is robbing you this very moment of that which you 
could be. If you came to this meeting tonight conscious of wanting something, de -
siring something, you walked in the company of Barabbas. For to desire is to confess that you do not now possess what you desire, 
and because all things are yours, you rob yourself by living in the state of 
desire. My savior is my desire. As I want something I am looking in to the
eyes of my savior. But if I continue wanting it, I deny my Jesus, my sav -
ior, for as I want I confess I am not and “except ye believe that I AM He 
ye die in your sins.” I cannot have and still continue to desire what I have. I may enjoy it, but I cannot continue wanting it. Here is the story. This is the feast of the Passover. Something is going to 
change right now, something is going to passover. Man is incapable of 
passing over from one state of consciousness into another unless he re -
leases from consciousness that which he now entertains, for it anchors 
him where he is. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYou and I may go to physical feasts year after year as the sun enters the 
great sign of Aries, but it means nothing to the true mystical Passover. To 
keep the feast of the Passover, the psychological feast, I pass from one 
state of consciousness into another. I do it by releasing Barabbas, the 
thief and robber that robs me of that state which I could embody within 
my world. The state I seek to embody is personified in the story as Jesus the Savior. If I become what I want to be then I am saved from what I was. If I do 
not become it, I continue to keep locked within me a thief who robs me of
being that which I could be. These stories have no reference to any persons who lived nor to any 
event that ever occurred upon earth. These characters are everlasting 
characters in the mind of every man in the world. You and I perpetually 
keep alive either Barabbas or Jesus. You know at every moment of time 
who you are entertaining. Do not condemn a crowd for clamoring that they should release Barabbas 
and crucify Jesus. It is not a crowd of people called Jews. They had noth -
ing to do with it. If we are wise, we too should clamor for the release of that state of mind 
that limits us from being what we want to be, that restricts us, that does 
not permit us to become the ideal that we seek and strive to attain in this
world. I am not saying that you are not tonight embodying Jesus. I only remind 
you, that if at this very moment you have an unfulfilled ambition, then 
you are entertaining that which denies the fulfillment of the ambition, and
that which denies it is Barabbas. To explain the mystical, psychological transformation known as the 
Passover, or the crossing over, you must now become identified with the 
ideal that you would serve, and you must remain faithful to the ideal. If 
you remain faithful to it, you not only crucify it by your faithfulness, but 
you resurrect it unaided by a man. As the story goes, no man could rise early enough to roll away the stone. Unaided by a man the stone was removed, and what seemingly was dead 
and buried was resurrected unassisted by a man. You walk in the consciousness of being that which you want to be, no one 
sees it as yet, but you do not need a man to roll away the problems and 
the obstacles of life in order to express that which you are conscious of 
being. That state has its own unique way of becoming embodied in this 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenworld, of becoming flesh that the whole world may touch it. Now you can see the relationship between the story of Jesus and the sto -
ry of Isaac and his two sons, where one transplanted the other, where one
was called the Supplanter of the other. Why do you think those who com -
plied the sixty odd books of our Bible made Jacob the forefather of Jesus? They took Jacob, who was called the Supplanter, and made him father of 
twelve, then they took Judah or praise, the fifth son and made him the 
fore of Joseph, who is supposed to have fathered in some strange way 
this one called Jesus. Jesus must supplant Barabbas as Jacob must sup -
plant and take the place of Esau. Tonight you can sit right here and conduct the trial of your two sons, one 
of whom you want released. You can become the crowd who clamors for 
the release of the thief, and the judge who willingly releases Barabbas, 
and sentences Jesus to fill his place. He was crucified on Golgotha, the 
place of the skull, the seat of the imagination. To experience the Passover or passage from the old to the new concept of
self, you must release Barabbas, your present concept of self, which robs 
you of being that which you could be, and you must assume the new con -
cept which you desire to express. The best way to do this is to concentrate your attention upon the idea of 
identifying yourself with your ideal. Assume you are already that which 
you seek and your assumption, though false, if sustained, will harden into
fact. You will know when you have succeeded in releasing Barabbas, your old 
concept of self, and when you have successfully crucified Jesus, or fixed 
the new concept of self, by simply looking MENTALLY at the people you 
know. If you see them as you formerly saw them, you have not changed 
your concept of self, for all changes of concepts of self result in a changed
relationship to your world. We always seem to others the embodiment of the ideal we inspire. There -
fore, in meditation, we must imagine that others see us as they would see
us were we what we desire to be. You can release Barabbas and crucify and resurrect Jesus if you will first 
define your ideal. Then relax in a comfortable arm chair, induce a state of 
consciousness akin to sleep and experience in imagination what you 
would experience in reality were you already that which you desire to be. By this simple method of experiencing in imagination what you would ex -
perience in the flesh were you the embodiment of the ideal you serve, you
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenrelease Barabbas who robbed you of your greatness, and you crucify and 
resurrect your savior, or the ideal you desire to express. Now let us turn to the story of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. Bear 
in mind that a garden is a properly prepared plot of ground, it is not a 
wasteland. You are preparing this ground called Gethsemane by coming 
here and studying and doing something about your mind. Spend some 
time daily in preparing you mind by reading good literature, listening to 
good music and entering into conversations that ennoble. We are told in the Epistles, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever 
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are 
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; 
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” 
(Phil 4:8). Continuing with our story, as told in the 18th chapter of John, Jesus is in 
the garden and suddenly a crowd begins to seek him. He is standing there
in the dark and he says, “Whom seek ye?”
The spokesman called Judas answers and says, “We seek Jesus of 
Nazareth.”
A voice answers, “I am He.”
At this instant they all fall to the ground, thousands of them tumbled. That in itself should stop you right there and let you know it could not be 
a physical drama, because no one could be so bold in his claim that he is 
the one sought, that he could cause thousands who seek him to fall to the
ground. But the story tells us they all fell to the ground. Then when they regained 
their composure they asked the same question. “Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me, 
let these go their way.” (John 18:8). “Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.” (John 13:27). Judas, who has to do it quickly, goes out and commits suicide. Now to the drama. You are in your garden of Gethsemane or prepared 
mind if you can, while you are in a state akin to sleep, control your atten -
tion and not let it wander away from its purpose. If you can do that you 
are definitely in the garden. Very few people can sit quietly and not enter a reverie or a state of un -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havencontrolled thinking. When you can restrict the mental action and remain faithful to your 
watch, not permitting your attention to wander all over the place, but hold
it without effort within a limited field of presentation to the state you are 
contemplating, then you are definitely this disciplined presence in the gar -
den of Gethsemane. The suicide of Judas is nothing more than changing your concept of your -
self. When you know what you want to be you have found your Jesus or 
savior. When you assume that you are what you want to be you have died
to your former concept of self (Judas committed suicide) and are not liv -
ing as Jesus. You can become at will detached from the world round about
you, and attached to that which you want to embody within your world. Now that you have found me, now that you have found that which would 
save you from what you are, let go of that which you are and all that it 
represents in the world. Become completely detached from it. In other 
words, go out and commit suicide. You completely die to what you formerly expressed in this world, and you 
now completely live to that which no one saw as true of you before. You 
are as though you had died by your own hand, as though you had com -
mitted suicide. You took your own life by becoming detached in conscious -
ness from what you formerly kept alive, and you begin to live to that 
which you have discovered in your garden. You have found your savior. It is not men falling, not a man betraying another, but you detaching your
attention, and refocusing your attention in an entirely new direction. From
this moment on you walk as though you were that which you formerly 
wanted to be. Remaining faithful to your new concept of yourself you die 
or commit suicide. No one took your life, you laid it down yourself. You must be able to see the relation of this to the death of Moses, where 
he so completely died that no one could find where he was buried. You 
must see the relationship of the death of Judas. He is not a man who be -
trayed a man called Jesus. The word Judas is praise; it is Judah, to praise; to give thanks, to explode
with joy. You do not explode with joy unless you are identified with the 
ideal you seek and want to embody in this world. When you become iden -
tified with the state you contemplate you cannot suppress your joy. It ris -
es like the fragrant odor described as Jericho in the Old Testament. I am trying to show you that the ancients told the same story in all the 
stories of the Bible. All that they are trying to tell us is how to become 
that which we want to be. And they imply in every story that we do not 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenneed the assistance of another. You do not need another to become now 
what you really want to be. *****
Now we turn to a strange story in the Old Testament; one that very few 
priests and rabbis will be bold enough to mention from their pulpits. Here 
is one who is going to receive the promise as you now receive it. His 
name is Jesus, only the ancients called him Joshua. Jehoshua Ben Nun, or
savior, son of the fish, the Savior of the great deep. Nun means fish, and 
fish is the element of the deep, the profound ocean. Jehoshua means Je -
hovah saves, and Ben means the offspring or son of. So he was called the
one who brought the fish age. This story is in the 6th book of the Bible, the book of Joshua. A promise is 
made to Joshua as it is made to Jesus in the Anglicized form in the 
gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In the gospel of John, Jesus says, “All things whatsoever thou hast given 
me are of thee.” (John 17:7). “And all mine are thine, and thine are 
mine.” (John 17:10). In the Old Testament in the book of Joshua it is said in these words: “Ev -
ery place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given 
unto you.” (Joshua 1:3). It does not matter where it is; analyze the promise and see if you can ac -
cept it literally. It is not physically true but it is psychologically true. Wherever you can stand in this world mentally that you can realize. Joshua is haunted by this promise that wherever he can place his foot 
(the foot is understanding), wherever the sole of his foot shall tread, that 
will be given unto him. He wants the most desirable state in the world, 
the fragrant city, the delightful state called Jericho. He finds himself barred by the impassable walls of Jericho. He is on the 
outside, as you are now on the outside. You are functioning three-dimen -
sionally and you cannot seem to reach the fourth-dimensional world 
where your present desire is already a concrete objective reality. You can -
not seem to reach it because your senses bar you from it. Reason tells 
you it is impossible, all things rounds about you tell you it is not true. Now you employ the services of a harlot and a spy, and her name is Ra -
hab. The word Rahab simply means the spirit of the father. RAH means 
the breath or spirit, and AB the father. Hence we find that this harlot is 
the spirit of the father and the father is man's awareness of being aware, 
man's I Amness, man's consciousness. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYour capacity to feel is the great spirit of the father, and that capacity is 
Rahab in this story. She has two professions that of a spy and that of a 
harlot. The profession of a spy is this: to travel secretly, to travel so quietly that 
you may not be detected. There is not a single physical spy in this world 
who can travel so quietly that he will be altogether unseen by others. He 
may be very wise in concealing his ways, and he may never be truly ap -
prehended, but at every moment of time he runs the risk of being detect -
ed. When you are sitting quietly with your thoughts, there is no man in the 
world so wise that he can look at you and tell you where you are mentally
dwelling. I can stand here and place myself in London. Knowing London quite well, 
I can close my eyes and assume that I am actually standing in London. If 
I remain within this state long enough, I will be able to surround myself 
with the environment of London as though it were a solid concrete objec -
tive fact. Physically I am still here, but mentally I am thousands of miles away and 
I have made elsewhere here. I do not go there as a spy, I mentally make 
elsewhere here, and then now. You cannot see me dwelling there, so you 
think I have just gone to sleep and that I am still here in this world, this 
three-dimensional world that is now San Francisco. As far as I am physi -
cally concerned, I am here but no one can tell me where I am when I en -
ter the moment of meditation. Rahab's next profession was that of a harlot, which is to grant unto men 
what they ask of her without asking man's right to ask. If she be an abso -
lute harlot, as her name implies, then she possesses all and can grant all 
that man asks of her. She is there to serve, and not to question man's 
right to seek what he seeks of her. You have within you the capacity to appropriate a state without knowing 
the means that will be employed to realize that end and you assume the 
feeling of the wish fulfilled without having any of the talents that men 
claim you must possess in order to do so. When you appropriate it in con -
sciousness you have employed the spy, and because you can embody that
state within yourself by actually giving it to yourself, you are the harlot, 
for the harlot satisfies the man who seeks her. You can satisfy self by appropriating the feeling that you are what you 
want to be. And this assumption though false, that is, although reason 
and the senses deny it, if persisted in will harden into fact. By actually 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenembodying that which you have assumed you are, you have the capacity 
to become completely satisfied. Unless it becomes a tangible, concrete re -
ality you will not be satisfied; you will be frustrated. You are told in this story that when Rahab went into the city to conquer it,
the command given to her was to enter the heart of the city, the heart of 
the matter, the very center of it, and there remain until I come. Do not go
from house to house, do not leave the upper room of the house into 
which you enter. If you leave the house and there be blood upon your 
head, it is upon your head. But if you do not leave the house and there be
blood, it shall be upon my head. Rahab goes into the house, rises to the upper floor, and there she remains
while the walls crumble. That is, we must keep a high mood if we would 
walk with the highest. In a very veiled manner, the story tells you that 
when the walls crumbled and Joshua entered, the only one who was 
saved in the city was the spy and the harlot whose name was Rahab. This story tells what you can do in this world. You will never lose the ca -
pacity to place yourself elsewhere and make it here. You will never lose 
the ability to give unto yourself what you are bold enough to appropriate 
as true of self. It has nothing to do with the woman who played that part. The explanation of the crumbling of the walls is simple. You are told that 
he blew upon the trumpet seven times and at the seventh blast the walls 
crumbled and he entered victoriously into the state that he sought. Seven is a stillness, a rest, the Sabbath. It is the state when man is com -
pletely unmoved in his conviction that the thing is. When I can assume 
the feeling of my wish fulfilled and go to sleep, unconcerned, undisturbed,
I am at rest mentally, and am keeping the Sabbath or am blowing the 
trumpet seven times. And when I reach that point the walls crumble. Cir -
cumstances alter then remold themselves in harmony with my assump -
tion. As they crumble I resurrect that which I have appropriated within.

More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLesson I: Consciousness Is The Only Reality 
This is going to be a very practical course. Therefore, I hope that every -
one in this class has a very clear picture of what he desires, for I am con -
vinced that you can realize your desires by the technique you will receive 
here this week in these five lessons. That you may receive the full benefit of these instructions, let me state 
now that the Bible has no reference at all to any persons who ever existed
or to any event that ever occurred upon earth. The ancient story tellers were not writing history but an allegorical picture
lesson of certain basic principles which they clothed in the garb of history,
and they adapted these stories to the limited capacity of a most uncritical 
and credulous people. The difference between the form of the Bible and its substance is as great
as the difference between a grain of corn and the life germ without that 
grain. As our assimilative organs discriminate between food that can be 
built into our system and food that must be discarded, so do our awak -
ened intuitive faculties discover beneath allegory and parable, the psycho -
logical life-germ of the Bible; and, feeding on this, we too, cast off the 
form which conveyed the message. The argument against the historicity of the Bible is too lengthy; conse -
quently, it is not suitable for inclusion in this practical psychological inter -
pretation of its stories. Therefore, I will waste no time in trying to con -
vince you that the Bible is not an historical fact. Tonight I will take four stories and show you what the ancient story-tellers
intended that you and I should see in these stories. The ancient teachers 
attached psychological truths to phallic and solar allegories. They did not 
know as much of the physical structure of man as do modern scientists, 
neither did they know as much about the heavens as do our modern as -
tronomers. But the little they did know they used wisely and they built 
phallic and solar frames to which they tied the great psychological truths 
that they had discovered. In the Old Testament you will find much of the Phallic worship. Because it 
is not helpful, I am not going to emphasize it. I shall only show you how 
to interpret it. Before we come to the first of the psychological dramas that you and I 
may use in a practical sense, let me state the two outstanding names of 
the Bible: the one you and I translate as GOD or JEHOVAH, and the one 
we call his son, which we has as JESUS. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenThe ancients spelled these names by using little symbols. The ancient 
tongue, called the Hebraic language, was not a tongue that you exploded 
with the breath. It was a mystical language never uttered by man. Those 
who understood it, understood it as mathematicians understand symbols 
of higher mathematics. It is not something people used to convey thought
as I now use the English language. They said that God's name was spelled, JOD HE VAU HE. I shall take 
these symbols and in our normal, down to earth language, explain them 
in this manner. The first letter, JOD in the name of GOD is a hand or a seed, not just a 
hand, but the hand of the director. If there is one organ of man that dis -
criminates and sets him apart from the entire world of creation it is his 
hand. What we call a hand in the anthropoid ape is not a hand. It is used 
only for the purpose of conveying food to the mouth, or to swing branch 
to branch. Man's hand fashions, it molds. You cannot really express your -
self without the hand. This is the builder's hand, the hand of the director; 
it directs and molds, and builds within your world. The ancient story-tellers called the first letter JOD, the hand, or the abso -
lute seed out of which the whole of creation will come. To the second letter, HE, they gave the symbol of a window. A window is 
an eye – the window is to the house what the eye is to the body. The third letter, VAU, they called a nail. A nail is used for the purpose of 
binding things together. The conjunction “and” in the Hebraic tongue is 
simply the third letter, or VAU. If I want to say'man and woman', I put 
the VAU in the middle, it binds them together. The fourth and last letter, HE, is another window or eye. In this modern, down to earth language of ours, you can forget eyes and 
windows and hands and look at it in this manner. You are seated here 
now. This first letter, JOD, is your I Amness, your awareness. You are 
aware of being aware – that is the first letter. Out of this awareness all 
states of awareness come. The second letter, HE, called an eye, is your imagination, your ability to 
perceive. You imagine or perceive something which seems to be other 
than Self. As though you were lost in reverie and contemplated mental 
states in a detached manner, making the thinker and his thoughts sepa -
rate entities. The third letter, VAU, is your ability to feel that you are that which you de -
sire to be. As you feel you are it, you become aware of being it. To walk 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenas though you were what you want to be is to take your desire out of the 
imaginary world and put the VAU upon it. You have completed the drama 
of creation. I am aware of something. Then I become aware of actually 
being that of which I was aware. The fourth and last letter in the name of God is another HE, another eye, 
meaning the visible objective world which constantly bears witness of that
which I am conscious of being. You do nothing about the objective world; 
it always molds itself in harmony with that which you are conscious of be -
ing. You are told this is the name by which all things are made, and without it 
there is nothing made that is made. The name is simply what you have 
now as you are seated here. You are conscious of being, aren't you. Cer -
tainly you are. You are also conscious of something that is other than 
yourself: the room, the furniture, the people. You may become selective now. Maybe you do not want to be other than 
what you are, or to own what you see. But you have the capacity to feel 
what it would be like were you now other than what you are. As you as -
sume that you are that which you want to be, you have completed the 
name of God or the JOD HE VAU HE. The final result, the objectification of
your assumption, is not your concern. It will come into view automatically
as you assume the consciousness of being it. Now let us turn to the Son's name, for he gives the Son dominion over 
the world. You are that Son, you are the great Joshua, or Jesus, of the 
Bible. You know the name Joshua or Jehoshua we have Anglicized as Je -
sus. The Son's name is almost like the Father's name. The first three letters of 
the Father's name are the first three letters of the Son's name, JOD HE 
VAU, then you add a SHIN and an AYIN, making the Son's name read, 
JOD HE VAU SHIN AYIN. You have heard what the first three are: JOD HE VAU. JOD means that 
you are aware; He means that you are aware of something; and VAU 
means that you became aware of being that of which you were aware. You have dominion because you have the ability to conceive and to be -
come that which you conceive. That is the power of creation. But why is a SHIN put in the name of the Son. Because of the infinite 
mercy of our Father. Mind you, the Father and the Son are one. But when
the Father becomes conscious of being man he puts within the condition 
called man that which he did not give unto himself. He puts a SHIN for 
this purpose; a SHIN is symbolized as a tooth. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenA tooth is that which consumes, that which devours. I must have within 
me the power to consume that which I now dislike. I, in my ignorance, 
brought to birth certain things I know dislike and would like to leave be -
hind me. Were there not within me the flames that would consume it, I 
would be condemned forever to live in a world of all my mistakes. But 
there is a SHIN, or flame, within the name of the Son, which allows that 
Son to become detached from states HE formerly expressed within the 
world. Man is incapable of seeing other than the contents of his own con -
sciousness. If I now become detached in consciousness from this room by turning my 
attention away from it, then, I am no longer conscious of it. There is 
something in me that devours it within me. It can only live within my ob -
jective world if I keep it alive within my consciousness. It is the SHIN, or a tooth, in the Son's name that gives him absolute do -
minion. Why could it not have been in the Father's name. For this simple 
reason: nothing can cease to be in the Father. Even the unlovely things 
cannot cease to be. If I once give it expression, forever and ever it re -
mains locked within the dimensionally greater Self which is the Father. But
I would not like to keep alive within my world all of my mistakes. So I, in 
my infinite mercy gave to myself, when I became man, the power to be -
come detached from these things that I, in my ignorance, brought to birth
in my world. These are the two names which give you dominion. You have dominion if, 
as you walk the earth, you know that your consciousness if God, the one 
and only reality. You become aware of something you would like to ex -
press or possess. You have the ability to feel that you are and possess 
that which but a moment before was imaginary. The final result, the em -
bodying of your assumption, is completely outside of the offices of a  
three-dimensional mind. It comes to birth in a way that no man knows. If these two names are clear in your mind's eye, you will see that they are
your eternal names. As you sit here, you are this JOD HE VAU HE, you are
the JOD HE VAU SHIN AYIN. The stories of the Bible concern themselves exclusively with the power of 
imagination. They are really dramatizations of the technique of prayer, for
prayer is the secret of changing the future. The Bible reveals the key by 
which man enters a dimensionally larger world for the purpose of chang -
ing the conditions of the lesser world in which he lives. A prayer granted implies that something is done in consequence of the 
prayer, which otherwise would not have been done. Therefore, man is the 
spring of action, the directing mind, and the one who grants the prayer. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenThe stories of the Bible contain a powerful challenge to the thinking ca -
pacity of man. The underlying truth – that they are psychological dramas 
and not historical facts – demands reiteration, inasmuch as it is the only 
justification for the stories. With a little imagination we may easily trace 
the psychological sense in all the stories of the Bible. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, and after our likeness; and
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the 
air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping 
thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own im -
age, in the image of God created he him. ” (Gen 1:26, 27). Here in the first chapter of the Bible the ancient teachers laid the founda -
tion that God and man are one, and that man has dominion over all the 
earth. If God and man are one, then God can never be so far off as even 
to be near, for nearness implies separation. The question arises: What is God. God is man's consciousness, his aware -
ness, his I Amness. The drama of life is a psychological one in which we 
bring circumstances to pass by our attitudes rather than by our acts. The 
cornerstone on which all things are based is mans concept of himself. He 
acts as he does, and has the experiences that he does, because of his 
concept of himself is what it is, and for no other reason. Had he a differ -
ent concept of himself, he would act differently and have different experi -
ences. Man, by assuming the feeling of his wish fulfilled, alters his future in har -
mony with his assumption, for, assumptions though false, if sustained, will
harden into fact. The undisciplined mind finds it difficult to assume a state which is denied 
by the senses. But the ancient teachers discovered that sleep, or a state 
akin to sleep, aided man in making his assumption. Therefore, they dra -
matized the first creative act of man as one in which man was in a pro -
found sleep. This not only sets the pattern for all future creative acts, but 
shows us that man has but one substance that is truly his to use in creat -
ing his world and that is himself. “And the Lord God (man) caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he 
slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman. ”
(Gen 2:21, 22). Before God fashions this woman for man he brings unto Adam the beasts 
of the field, and the fowls of the air and has Adam name them. “Whatso -
ever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. ”
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenif you will take a concordance or a Bible dictionary and look up the word 
thigh as used in this story you will see that it has nothing to do with the 
thigh. It is defined as the soft parts that are creative in a man, that hang 
upon the thigh of a man. The ancient story-tellers used this phallic frame to reveal a great psycho -
logical truth. An angel is a messenger of God. You are God, as you have 
just discovered, for your consciousness is God, and you have an idea, a 
message. You are wrestling with an idea, for you do not know that you 
are already that which you contemplate, neither do you believe you could 
become it. You would like to, but you do not believe you could. Who wrestles with the angel. Jacob. And the word Jacob, by definition, 
means the supplanter. You would like to transform yourself and become 
that which reason and your senses deny. As you wrestle with your ideal, 
trying to feel that you are it, this is what happens. When you actually feel 
that you are it, something goes out of you. You may use the words, “Who 
has touched me, for I perceive virtue has gone out of me. ”
You become for a moment, after a successful meditation, incapable in the 
act, as though it were a physical creative act. You are just as impotent af -
ter you have prayed successfully as you are after the physical creative 
act. When satisfaction is yours, you no longer hunger for it. If the hunger 
persists you did not explode the idea within you, you did not actually suc -
ceed in becoming conscious of being that which you wanted to be. There 
was still that thirst when you came out of the deep. If I can feel that I am that which but a few seconds ago I knew I was not,
but desired to be, then I am no longer hungry to be it. I am no longer 
thirsty because I feel satisfied in that state. Then something shrinks with -
in me, not physically but in my feeling, in my consciousness, for that is 
the creativeness of man. He so shrinks in desire, he loses the desire to 
continue in this meditation. He does not halt physically, he simply has no 
desire to continue the meditative act. “When you pray believe that you have received, and you shall receive. ” 
When the physical creative act is completed, the sinew which is upon the 
hollow of man's thigh shrinks, and man finds himself impotent or is halt -
ed. In like manner when a man prays successfully he believes that he is 
already that which he desired to be, therefore he cannot continue desiring
to be that which he is already conscious of being. At the moment of satis -
faction, physical and psychological, something goes out which in time 
bears witness to man's creative power. *****
Our next story is in the 38th chapter of the book of Genesis. Here is a King
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhose name is Judah, the first three letters of whose name also beings 
with JOD HE VAU. Tamar is his daughter-in-law. The word Tamar means a palm tree or the most beautiful, the most come -
ly. She is gracious and beautiful to look on and is called a palm tree. A 
tall, stately palm tree blossoms even in the desert – wherever it is there 
is an oasis. When you see the palm tree in the desert, there will be found 
what you seek most in that parched land. There is nothing more desirable
to a man moving across a desert than the sight of a palm tree. In our case, to be practical, our objective is the palm tree. That is the 
stately, beautiful one that we seek. Whatever it is that you and I want, 
what we truly desire, is personified in the story as Tamar the beautiful. We are told she dresses herself in the veils of a harlot and sits in the pub -
lic place. Her father-in-law, King Judah, comes by; and he is so in love 
with this one who is veiled that he offers her a kid to be intimate with her. She said, “What will you give me as a pledge that you will give me a kid. ”
Looking around he said, “What do you want me to give as a pledge. ”
She answered, “Give me your ring, give me your bracelets, and give me 
your staff. ”
Whereupon, he took from his hand the ring, and the bracelet, and gave 
them to her along with his sceptre. And he went in unto her and knew 
her, and she bore him a son. That is the story; now for the interpretation. Man has one gift that is truly
his to give, and that is himself. He has no other gift, as told you in the 
very first creative act of Adam begetting the woman out of himself. There 
was no other substance in the world but himself with which he could fash -
ion the object of his desire. In like manner Judah had but one gift that 
was truly his to give – himself, as the ring, the bracelets and the the staff 
symbolized, for these were the symbols of his kingship. Man offers that which is not himself, but life demands that he give the one
thing that symbolizes himself. “Give me your ring, give me your bracelet, 
give me your sceptre. ” There make the King. When he gives them he 
gives of himself. You are the great King Judah. Before you can know your Tamar and make 
her bear your likeness in the world, you must go in unto her and give of 
self. Suppose I want security. I cannot get it by knowing people who have 
it. I cannot get it by pulling strings. I must become conscious of being se -
cure. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLet us say I want to be healthy. Pills will not do it. Diet or climate will not 
do it. I must become conscious of being healthy by assuming the feeling 
of being healthy. Perhaps I want to be lifted up in this world. Merely looking at kings and 
presidents and noble people and living in their reflection will not make me
dignified. I must become conscious of being noble and dignified and walk 
as though I were that which I now want to be. When I walk in that light I give of myself to the image that haunted my 
mind, and in time she bears me a child; which means I objectify a world 
in harmony with that which I am conscious of being. You are King Judah and you are also Tamar. When you become conscious 
of being that which you want to be you are Tamar. Then you crystallize 
your desire within the world round about you. No matter what stories you read in the Bible, no matter how many char -
acters these ancient story-tellers introduced into the drama, there is one 
thing you and I must always bear in mind – they all take place within the 
mind of the individual man. All the characters live in the mind of the indi -
vidual man. As you read the story, make it fit the pattern of self. Know that your con -
sciousness is the only reality. Then know what you want to be. Then as -
sume the feeling of being that which you want to be, and remain faithful 
to your assumption, living and acting on your conviction. Always make it 
fit that pattern. *****
Our third interpretation is the story of Isaac and his two sons: Esau and 
Jacob. The picture is drawn of a blind man being deceived by his second 
son into giving him the blessing which belonged to his first son. The story 
stressed the point that the deception was accomplished through the sense
of touch. “And Isaac said unto Jacob, come near, I pray thee that I may feel thee, 
my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. And Jacob went near 
unto Isaac his father; and he felt him. And it came to pass, as soon as 
Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone 
out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in 
from his hunting. ” (Gen 27:21). This story can be very helpful if you will re-enact it now. Again bear in 
mind that all the characters of the Bible are personifications of abstract 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenideas and must be fulfilled in the individual man. You are the blind father 
and both sons. Isaac is old and blind, and sensing the approach of death, calls his first 
son Esau a rough hairy boy, and sends him into the woods that he may 
bring in some venison. The second son, Jacob, a smooth skinned boy, overheard the request of 
his father. Desiring the birthright of his brother, Jacob, the smooth 
skinned son, slaughtered one of his father's flock and skinned it. Then, 
dressed in the hairy skins of the kid he had slaughtered, he came through
subtlety and betrayed his father into believing that he was Esau. The father said, “Come close my son that I may feel you. I cannot see, 
but come that I may feel. ” Note the stress that is placed upon feeling in 
this story. He came close and the father said to him, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but 
the hands are the hands of Esau. ” and Feeling the roughness, the reality 
of the son Esau, he pronounced the blessing and gave it to Jacob. You are told in the story that as Isaac pronounced the blessing and Jacob 
had scarcely gone out from his presence, that his brother Esau came in 
from his hunting. This is an important verse. Do not become distressed in our practical ap -
proach to it, for as you sit here you, too, are Isaac. This room in which 
you are seated is your present Esau. This is the rough or sensibly known 
world, known by the reason of your bodily organs. All of your senses bear 
witness to the fact that you are here in this room. Everything tells you 
that you are here, but perhaps you do not want to be here. You can apply this toward any objective. The room in which you are seat -
ed at any time – the environment in which you are placed, this is your 
rough or sensibly known world or son which is personified in the story as 
Esau. What you would like in place of what you have or are is your 
smooth skinned state or Jacob, the supplanter. You do not send your visible world hunting, as so many people do, by de -
nial. By saying it does not exist you make it all the more real. Instead, 
you simply remove your attention from the region of sensation which at 
this moment is the room round about you, and you concentrate your at -
tention on that which you want to put in its place, that which you want to 
make real. In concentrating on your objective, the secret is to bring it here. You must
make elsewhere here and then now. Imagine that you objective is so 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenclose that you can feel it. Suppose at this very moment I want a piano here in this room. To see a 
piano in my mind's eye existing elsewhere does not do it. But to visualize 
it in this room as though it were here and to put my mental hand upon 
the piano and to feel it solidly real, is to take that subjective state person -
ified as my second son Jacob and bring it so close that I can feel it. Isaac is called a blind man. You are blind because you do not see your ob -
jective with your bodily organs, you cannot see it with your objective 
senses. You only perceive it with your mind, but you bring it so close that 
you can feel it as though it were solidly real now. When this is done and 
you lose yourself in its reality and feel it to be real, open your eyes. When you open your eyes what happens. The room that you had shut out
but a moment ago returns from the hunt. You no sooner gave the blessing
– felt the imaginary state to be real – then the objective world, which 
seemingly was unreal, returns. It does not speak to you with words as 
recorded of Esau, but the very room round about you tells you by its 
presence that you have been self-deceived. It tells you that when you lost yourself in contemplation, feeling that you 
were now what you wanted to be, feeling that you now possess what you 
desire to possess, that you were simply deceiving self. Look at this room. It denies that you are elsewhere. If you know the law, you now say: “Even though your brother came 
through subtlety and betrayed me and took your birthright, I gave him 
your blessing and I cannot retract. ” 
In other words, you remain faithful to this subjective reality and you do 
not take back from it the power of birth. You gave it the right of birth and 
it is going to become objective within this world of yours. There is no 
room in this limited space of yours for two things to occupy the same 
space at the same time. By making the subjective real it resurrects itself 
within your world. Take the idea that you want to embody, and assume that you are already 
it. Lose yourself in feeling this assumption is solidly real. As you give it 
this sense of reality, you have given it the blessing which belongs to the 
objective world, and you do not have to aid its birth any more than you 
have to aid the birth of a child or a seed you plant in the ground. The 
seed you plant grows unaided by a man, for it contains within itself all the
power and all the plans necessary for self-expression. You can this night re-enact the drama of Isaac blessing his second son 
and see what happens in the immediate future in your world. Your present
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenenvironment vanishes, all the circumstances of life change and make way 
for the coming of that to which you have given your life. As you walk, 
knowing that you are what you wanted to be, you objectify it without the 
assistance of another. *****
The fourth story for tonight is taken from the last of the books attributed 
to Moses. If you need proof that Moses did not write it, read the story 
carefully. It is found in the 34th chapter of the book of Deuteronomy. Ask 
any priest or rabbi, 'who is the author of this book. ', and they will tell you
that Moses wrote it. In the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy you will read of a man writing his own
obituary, that is, Moses wrote this chapter. A man may sit down and write 
what he would like to have placed upon his tombstone, but here is a man 
who writes his own obituary. And then he dies and so completely rubs 
himself out that he defies posterity to find where he has buried himself. “So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, accord -
ing to the word of the Lord. And he buried him in the valley in the land of 
Moab, over against Beth-poer: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre until 
this day. And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died; 
his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. ” (Deut. 34:5, 6, 7). You must this night – not tomorrow – learn the technique of writing your 
own obituary and so completely die to what you are that no man in this 
world can tell you whore you buried the old man. If you are now ill and 
you become well, and I know you by reason of the fact that you are ill, 
where can you point and tell me you buried the sick one. If you are impoverished and borrow from every friend you have, and then
suddenly you roll in wealth, where did you bury the poor man. You so 
completely rub out poverty in your mind's eye that there is nothing in this
world you can point to and claim, that is where I left it. A complete trans -
formation of consciousness rubs out all evidence that anything other than 
this ever existed in the world. The most beautiful technique for the realizing of man's objective is given 
in the first verse of the 34th chapter of Deuteronomy: 
“And Moses went up from the Plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, 
to the top of Pisgah, that is over again Jericho. And the Lord showed him 
all the land of Gilead, unto Dan. ”
You read that verse and say, “So what. ” But take a concordance and look 
up the words. The first word, Moses, means to draw out, to rescue, to lift 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenout, to fetch. In other words, Moses is the personification of the power in 
man that can draw out of man that which he seeks, for everything comes 
from within, not from without. You draw from within yourself that which 
you now want to express as something objective to yourself. You are Moses coming out of the plains of Moab. The word Moab is a con -
traction of two Hebraic words, Mem and Ab, meaning mother-father. Your 
consciousness is the mother-father, there is no other cause in the world. Your I Amness, your awareness, is this Moab or mother-father. You are al -
ways drawing something out of it. The next word is Nebo. In your concordance Nebo is defined as a prophe -
cy. A prophecy is something subjective. If I say, “So-and-so will be,” it is 
an image in the mind; it is not yet a fact. We must wait and either prove 
or disprove this prophecy. In our language Nebo is your wish, your desire. It is called a mountain 
because it is something that appears difficult to ascend and is therefore 
seemingly impossible of realization. A mountain is something bigger than 
you are, it towers over you. Nebo personifies that which you want to be in
contrast to that which you are. The word Pisgah, by definition, is to contemplate. Jericho is a fragrant 
odor. And Gilead means the hills of witnesses. The last word is Dan the 
Prophet. Now put them all together in a practical sense and see what the ancients 
tried to tell us. As I stand here, having discovered that my consciousness 
is God, and that I can, by simply feeling that I am what I want to be, 
transform myself into the likeness of that which I am assuming I am; I 
know now that I am all that it takes to scale this mountain. I define my objective. I do not call it Nebo. I call it my desire. Whatever I 
want, that is my Nebo, that is my great mountain that I am going to 
scale. I now begin to contemplate it, for I shall climb to the peak of Pis -
gah. I must contemplate my objective in such a manner that I get the reaction 
that satisfies. If I do not get the reaction that pleases then Jericho is not 
seen, for Jericho is a fragrant odor. When I feel that I am what I want to be I cannot suppress the joy that 
comes with that feeling. I must always contemplate my objective until I get the feeling of satisfac -
tion personified as Jericho. Then I do nothing to make it visible in my 
world; for the hills of Gilead, meaning men, women, children, the whole 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenvast world round about me, come bearing witness. They come to testify 
that I am what I have assumed myself to be, and am sustaining within 
myself. When my world conforms to my assumption the prophecy is ful -
filled. If I now know what I want to be, and assume that I am it, and walk as 
though I were, I become it and becoming it I so completely die to my for -
mer concept of self that I cannot point to any place in this world and say: 
that is where my former self is buried. I so completely died that I defy 
posterity to ever find where I buried my old self. There must be someone in this room who will so completely transform 
himself in this world that his close immediate circle of friends will not rec -
ognize him. For ten years I was a dancer, dancing in Broadway shows, in vaudeville, 
night clubs and in Europe. There was a time in my life when I thought I 
could not live without certain friends in my world. I would spread a table 
every night after the theater and we would all dine well. I thought I could 
never live without them. Now I confess I could not live with them. We 
have nothing in common today. When we meet we do not purposely walk 
on the opposite side of the street, but it is almost a cold meeting because 
we have nothing to discuss. I so died to that life that as I meet these peo -
ple they cannot even talk of the old times. But there are people living today who are still living in that state, getting 
poorer and poorer. They always like to talk about the old times. They nev -
er buried that man at all, he is very much alive within their world. Moses was 120 years, a full, wonderful age as 120 indicates. One plus two
plus zero equals three, the numerical symbol of expression. I am fully 
conscious of my expression. My eyes are undimmed and the natural func -
tions of my body are not abated. I am fully conscious of being what I do 
not want to be. But knowing this law by which a man transforms himself, I assume that I 
am what I want to be and walk in the assumption that it is done. In be -
coming it, the old man dies and all that was related to that former con -
cept of self dies with it. You cannot take any part of the old man into the 
new man. You cannot put new wine in old bottles or new patches on old 
garments. You must be a new being completely. As you assume that you are what you want to be, you do not need the as -
sistance of another to make it so. Neither do you need the assistance of 
anyone to bury the old man for you. Let the dead bury the dead. Do not 
even look back, for no man having put his hand to the plow and then 
looking back is fit for the kingdom of heaven. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenDo not ask yourself how this thing is going to be. It does not matter if 
your reason denies it. It does not matter if all the world round about you 
denies it. You do not have to bury the old. “Let the dead bury the dead. ” 
You will so bury the past by remaining faithful to your new concept of self 
that you will defy the whole vast future to find where you buried it. To this
day no man in all of Israel has discovered the sepulchre of Moses. *****
These are the four stories I promised you tonight. You must apply them 
every day of your life. Even though the chair on which you are now seated
seems hard and does not lend itself to meditation you can in imagination 
make it the most comfortable chair in the world. Let me now define the technique as I want you to employ it. I trust each 
one of you came here tonight with a clear picture of your desire. Do not 
say it is impossible. Do you want it. You do not have to use your moral 
code to realize it. It is altogether outside the reach of your code. Consciousness is the one and only reality. Therefore, we must form the 
object of our desire out of our own consciousness. People have a habit of slighting the importance of simple things, and the 
suggestion to create a state akin to sleep in order to aid you in assuming 
that which reason and your senses deny is one of the simple things you 
might slight. However, this simple formula for changing the future, which was discov -
ered by the ancient teachers and given to us in the Bible, can be proved 
by all. The first step in changing the future is Desire, that is, define your objec -
tive – know definitely what you want. Second: construct an event which you believe would encounter FOLLOW -
ING the fulfillment of your desire – an event which implies fulfillment of 
your desire – something which will have the action of self predominant. The third step is to immobilize the physical body and induce a state akin 
to sleep. Then mentally feel yourself right into the proposed action, imag -
ine all the while that you are actually performing the action HERE AND 
NOW. You must participate in the imaginary action, not merely stand back
and look on, but FEEL that you are actually performing the action, so that 
the imaginary sensation is real to you. It is important always to remember that the proposed action must be one 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenwhich FOLLOWS the fulfillment of your desire, one which implies fulfill -
ment. For example, suppose you desired a promotion in office. Then being
congratulated would be an event you would encounter following the fulfill -
ment of your desire. Having selected this action as the one you will experience in imagination 
to imply promotion in the office, immobilize your physical body and induce
a state bordering on sleep, a drowsy state, but one in which you are still 
able to control the direction of your thoughts, a state in which you are at -
tentive without effort. Then visualize a friend standing before you. Put 
your imaginary hand into his. Feel it to be solid and real, and carry on an 
imaginary conversation with him in harmony with the FEELING OF HAV -
ING BEEN PROMOTED. You do not visualize yourself at a distance in point of space and at a dis -
tance in point of time being congratulated on your good fortune. Instead, 
you MAKE elsewhere HERE and the future NOW. The difference between 
FEELING yourself in action, here and now, and visualizing yourself in ac -
tion, as though you were on a motion-picture screen, is the difference be -
tween success and failure. The difference will be appreciated if you will not visualize yourself climbing
a ladder. Then, with eyelids closed imagine that a ladder is right in front 
of you and FEEL YOURSELF ACTUALLY CLIMBING IT. Experience has taught me to restrict the imaginary action which implies 
fulfillment of the desire, to condense the idea into a single act, and to re-
enact it over and over again until it has the feeling of reality. Otherwise, 
your attention will wander off along an associational track, and hosts of 
associated images will be presented to your attention, and in a few sec -
onds they will lead you hundreds of miles away from your objective in 
point of space and years away in point of time. If you decide to climb a particular flight of stairs, because that is the likely
event to follow the fulfillment of your desire, then you must restrict the 
action to climbing that particular flight of stairs. Should your attention 
wander off, bring it back to climbing that flight of stairs, and keep on do -
ing so until the imaginary action has all the solidity and distinctness of re -
ality. The idea must be maintained in the mind without any sensible effort on 
your part. You must, with the minimum of effort permeate the mind with 
the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Drowsiness facilitates change because it favors attention without effort, 
but it must not be pushed to the state of sleep in which you no longer are
able to control the movements of your attention. But a moderate degree 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenof drowsiness in which you are still able to direct your thoughts. A most effective way to embody a desire is to assume the feeling of the 
wish fulfilled and then, in a relaxed and drowsy state, repeat over and 
over again like a lullaby, any short phrase which implies fulfillment of your
desire, such as, “Thank you, thank you, thank you” as though you ad -
dressed a higher power for having given you that which you desired. I know that when this course comes to an end on Friday many of you 
here will be able to tell me you have realized your objectives. Two weeks 
ago I left the platform and went to the door to shake hands with the audi -
ence. I am safe in saying at least 35 out of a class of 135 told me that 
which they desired when they joined this class they had already realized. This happened only two weeks ago. I did nothing to bring it to pass save 
to give them this technique of prayer. You need do nothing to bring it to 
pass – save apply this technique of prayer. With your eyes closed and your physical body immobilized induce a state 
akin to sleep and enter into the action as though you were an actor play -
ing the part. Experience in imagination what you would experience in the 
flesh were you now in possession of your objective. Make elsewhere HERE
and then NOW. And the greater you, using a larger focus will use all 
means, and call them good, which tend toward the production of that 
which you have assumed. You are relieved of all responsibility to make it so, because as you imagine
and feel that it is so your dimensionally larger self determines the means. Do not think for one moment that someone is going to be injured in order
to make it so, or that someone is going to be disappointed. It is still not 
your concern. I must drive this home. Too many of us, schooled in differ -
ent walks of life, are so concerned about the other. You ask, “If I get what I want will it not imply injury to another. ” There 
are ways you know not of, so do not be concerned. Close your eyes now because we are going to be in a long silence. Soon 
you will become so lost in contemplation, feeling that you are what you 
want to be, that you will be totally unconscious of the fact that you are in 
this room with others. You will receive a shock when you open your eyes and discover we are 
here. It should be a shock when you open your eyes and discover that 
you are not actually that which, a moment before, you felt you were, or 
felt you possessed. Now we will go into the deep. Silence period. More Free Books Law of Attraction Haven*****
I need not remind you that you are now that which you have assumed 
that you are. Do not discuss it with anyone, not even self. You cannot take
thought as to the HOW, when you know that you ARE already. Your three-dimensional reasoning, which is a very limited reasoning in -
deed should not be brought into this drama. It does not know. What you 
have just felt to be true is true. Let no man tell you that you should not have it. What you feel that you 
have, you will have. And I promise you this much, after you have realized 
your objective, on reflection you will have to admit that this conscious 
reasoning mind of yours could never have devised the way. You are that and have that which this very moment you appropriated. Do 
not discuss it. Do not look to someone for encouragement because the 
thing might not come. It has come. Go about your Father's business doing
everything normally and let these things happen in your world. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenLesson II: Assumptions Harden Into Fact
The Bible of ours has nothing to do with history. Some of you may yet be 
inclined tonight to believe that, although we can give it a psychological in -
terpretation, it still could be left in its present form and be interpreted lit -
erally. You cannot do it. The Bible has no reference at all to people or to 
events as you have been taught to believe. The sooner you begin to rub 
out that picture the better. We are going to take a few stories tonight, and again I am going to re -
mind you that you must re-enact all of these stories within your own 
mind. Bear in mind that although they seem to be stories of people fully awake, 
the drama is really between you, the sleeping one, the deeper you, and 
the conscious waking you. They are personified as people, but when you 
come to the point of application you must remember the importance of 
the drowsy state. All creation, as we told you last night, takes place in the state of sleep, or 
that state which is akin to sleep – the sleepy, drowsy state. We told you last night the first man is not yet awakened. You are Adam, 
the first man, still in the profound sleep. The creative you is the fourth-di -
mensional you whose home is simply the state you enter when men call 
you asleep. *****
Our first story for tonight is found in the Gospel of John. As you hear it 
unfold before you, I want you to compare it in your mind's eye to the sto -
ry you heard last night from the book of Genesis. The first book of the 
Bible, the book of Genesis, historians claim is the record of events which 
occurred on earth some 3000 years before the events recorded in the 
book of John. I ask you to be rational about it and see if you do not think 
the same writer could have written both stories. You be the judge as to 
whether the same inspired man could not have told the same story and 
told it differently. This is a very familiar story, the story of the trial of Jesus. In this Gospel 
of John it is recorded that Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate, and 
the crowd clamored for his life, they wanted Jesus. Pilate turned to them 
and said: 
“But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the 
Passover; will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews. Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barab -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenbas was a robber. ” (John 18:39, 40). You are told that Pilate had no choice in the matter, he was only a judge 
interpreting law, and this was the law. The people had to be given that 
which they requested. Pilate could not release Jesus against the wishes of
the crowd, and so he released Barabbas and gave unto them Jesus to be 
crucified. Now bear in mind that your consciousnesses is God. There is no other 
God. And you are told that God has a son whose name is Jesus. If you will
take the trouble to look up the word Barabbas in your concordance, you 
will see that it is a contraction of two Hebraic words: BAR, which means a 
daughter, son or child, and ABBA, which means father. Barabbas is the 
son of the great father. And Jesus in the story is called the Savior, the Son
of the Father. We have two sons in this story. And we have two sons in the story of Esau
and Jacob. Bear in mind that Isaac was blind, and justice to be true must 
be blind folded. Although in this case Pilate is not physically blind, the 
part given to Pilate implies that he is blind because he is a judge. On all 
the great law buildings of the world we see the lady or the man who rep -
resents justice as being blindfolded. “Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ” 
(John 7:24). Here we find Pilate playing the same part as Isaac. There are two sons. All the characters as they appear in this story can apply to your own life. You have a son that is robbing you this very moment of that which you 
could be. If you came to this meeting tonight conscious of wanting something, de -
siring something, you walked in the company of Barabbas. For to desire is to confess that you do not now possess what you desire, 
and because all things are yours, you rob yourself by living in the state of 
desire. My savior is my desire. As I want something I am looking in to the
eyes of my savior. But if I continue wanting it, I deny my Jesus, my sav -
ior, for as I want I confess I am not and “except ye believe that I AM He 
ye die in your sins. ” I cannot have and still continue to desire what I have. I may enjoy it, but I cannot continue wanting it. Here is the story. This is the feast of the Passover. Something is going to 
change right now, something is going to passover. Man is incapable of 
passing over from one state of consciousness into another unless he re -
leases from consciousness that which he now entertains, for it anchors 
him where he is. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYou and I may go to physical feasts year after year as the sun enters the 
great sign of Aries, but it means nothing to the true mystical Passover. To 
keep the feast of the Passover, the psychological feast, I pass from one 
state of consciousness into another. I do it by releasing Barabbas, the 
thief and robber that robs me of that state which I could embody within 
my world. The state I seek to embody is personified in the story as Jesus the Savior. If I become what I want to be then I am saved from what I was. If I do 
not become it, I continue to keep locked within me a thief who robs me of
being that which I could be. These stories have no reference to any persons who lived nor to any 
event that ever occurred upon earth. These characters are everlasting 
characters in the mind of every man in the world. You and I perpetually 
keep alive either Barabbas or Jesus. You know at every moment of time 
who you are entertaining. Do not condemn a crowd for clamoring that they should release Barabbas 
and crucify Jesus. It is not a crowd of people called Jews. They had noth -
ing to do with it. If we are wise, we too should clamor for the release of that state of mind 
that limits us from being what we want to be, that restricts us, that does 
not permit us to become the ideal that we seek and strive to attain in this
world. I am not saying that you are not tonight embodying Jesus. I only remind 
you, that if at this very moment you have an unfulfilled ambition, then 
you are entertaining that which denies the fulfillment of the ambition, and
that which denies it is Barabbas. To explain the mystical, psychological transformation known as the 
Passover, or the crossing over, you must now become identified with the 
ideal that you would serve, and you must remain faithful to the ideal. If 
you remain faithful to it, you not only crucify it by your faithfulness, but 
you resurrect it unaided by a man. As the story goes, no man could rise early enough to roll away the stone. Unaided by a man the stone was removed, and what seemingly was dead 
and buried was resurrected unassisted by a man. You walk in the consciousness of being that which you want to be, no one 
sees it as yet, but you do not need a man to roll away the problems and 
the obstacles of life in order to express that which you are conscious of 
being. That state has its own unique way of becoming embodied in this 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenworld, of becoming flesh that the whole world may touch it. Now you can see the relationship between the story of Jesus and the sto -
ry of Isaac and his two sons, where one transplanted the other, where one
was called the Supplanter of the other. Why do you think those who com -
plied the sixty odd books of our Bible made Jacob the forefather of Jesus. They took Jacob, who was called the Supplanter, and made him father of 
twelve, then they took Judah or praise, the fifth son and made him the 
fore of Joseph, who is supposed to have fathered in some strange way 
this one called Jesus. Jesus must supplant Barabbas as Jacob must sup -
plant and take the place of Esau. Tonight you can sit right here and conduct the trial of your two sons, one 
of whom you want released. You can become the crowd who clamors for 
the release of the thief, and the judge who willingly releases Barabbas, 
and sentences Jesus to fill his place. He was crucified on Golgotha, the 
place of the skull, the seat of the imagination. To experience the Passover or passage from the old to the new concept of
self, you must release Barabbas, your present concept of self, which robs 
you of being that which you could be, and you must assume the new con -
cept which you desire to express. The best way to do this is to concentrate your attention upon the idea of 
identifying yourself with your ideal. Assume you are already that which 
you seek and your assumption, though false, if sustained, will harden into
fact. You will know when you have succeeded in releasing Barabbas, your old 
concept of self, and when you have successfully crucified Jesus, or fixed 
the new concept of self, by simply looking MENTALLY at the people you 
know. If you see them as you formerly saw them, you have not changed 
your concept of self, for all changes of concepts of self result in a changed
relationship to your world. We always seem to others the embodiment of the ideal we inspire. There -
fore, in meditation, we must imagine that others see us as they would see
us were we what we desire to be. You can release Barabbas and crucify and resurrect Jesus if you will first 
define your ideal. Then relax in a comfortable arm chair, induce a state of 
consciousness akin to sleep and experience in imagination what you 
would experience in reality were you already that which you desire to be. By this simple method of experiencing in imagination what you would ex -
perience in the flesh were you the embodiment of the ideal you serve, you
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenrelease Barabbas who robbed you of your greatness, and you crucify and 
resurrect your savior, or the ideal you desire to express. Now let us turn to the story of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. Bear 
in mind that a garden is a properly prepared plot of ground, it is not a 
wasteland. You are preparing this ground called Gethsemane by coming 
here and studying and doing something about your mind. Spend some 
time daily in preparing you mind by reading good literature, listening to 
good music and entering into conversations that ennoble. We are told in the Epistles, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever 
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are 
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; 
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ” 
(Phil 4:8). Continuing with our story, as told in the 18th chapter of John, Jesus is in 
the garden and suddenly a crowd begins to seek him. He is standing there
in the dark and he says, “Whom seek ye. ”
The spokesman called Judas answers and says, “We seek Jesus of 
Nazareth. ”
A voice answers, “I am He. ”
At this instant they all fall to the ground, thousands of them tumbled. That in itself should stop you right there and let you know it could not be 
a physical drama, because no one could be so bold in his claim that he is 
the one sought, that he could cause thousands who seek him to fall to the
ground. But the story tells us they all fell to the ground. Then when they regained 
their composure they asked the same question. “Jesus answered, I have told you that I am He: if therefore ye seek me, 
let these go their way. ” (John 18:8). “Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. ” (John 13:27). Judas, who has to do it quickly, goes out and commits suicide. Now to the drama. You are in your garden of Gethsemane or prepared 
mind if you can, while you are in a state akin to sleep, control your atten -
tion and not let it wander away from its purpose. If you can do that you 
are definitely in the garden. Very few people can sit quietly and not enter a reverie or a state of un -
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havencontrolled thinking. When you can restrict the mental action and remain faithful to your 
watch, not permitting your attention to wander all over the place, but hold
it without effort within a limited field of presentation to the state you are 
contemplating, then you are definitely this disciplined presence in the gar -
den of Gethsemane. The suicide of Judas is nothing more than changing your concept of your -
self. When you know what you want to be you have found your Jesus or 
savior. When you assume that you are what you want to be you have died
to your former concept of self (Judas committed suicide) and are not liv -
ing as Jesus. You can become at will detached from the world round about
you, and attached to that which you want to embody within your world. Now that you have found me, now that you have found that which would 
save you from what you are, let go of that which you are and all that it 
represents in the world. Become completely detached from it. In other 
words, go out and commit suicide. You completely die to what you formerly expressed in this world, and you 
now completely live to that which no one saw as true of you before. You 
are as though you had died by your own hand, as though you had com -
mitted suicide. You took your own life by becoming detached in conscious -
ness from what you formerly kept alive, and you begin to live to that 
which you have discovered in your garden. You have found your savior. It is not men falling, not a man betraying another, but you detaching your
attention, and refocusing your attention in an entirely new direction. From
this moment on you walk as though you were that which you formerly 
wanted to be. Remaining faithful to your new concept of yourself you die 
or commit suicide. No one took your life, you laid it down yourself. You must be able to see the relation of this to the death of Moses, where 
he so completely died that no one could find where he was buried. You 
must see the relationship of the death of Judas. He is not a man who be -
trayed a man called Jesus. The word Judas is praise; it is Judah, to praise; to give thanks, to explode
with joy. You do not explode with joy unless you are identified with the 
ideal you seek and want to embody in this world. When you become iden -
tified with the state you contemplate you cannot suppress your joy. It ris -
es like the fragrant odor described as Jericho in the Old Testament. I am trying to show you that the ancients told the same story in all the 
stories of the Bible. All that they are trying to tell us is how to become 
that which we want to be. And they imply in every story that we do not 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenneed the assistance of another. You do not need another to become now 
what you really want to be. *****
Now we turn to a strange story in the Old Testament; one that very few 
priests and rabbis will be bold enough to mention from their pulpits. Here 
is one who is going to receive the promise as you now receive it. His 
name is Jesus, only the ancients called him Joshua. Jehoshua Ben Nun, or
savior, son of the fish, the Savior of the great deep. Nun means fish, and 
fish is the element of the deep, the profound ocean. Jehoshua means Je -
hovah saves, and Ben means the offspring or son of. So he was called the
one who brought the fish age. This story is in the 6th book of the Bible, the book of Joshua. A promise is 
made to Joshua as it is made to Jesus in the Anglicized form in the 
gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In the gospel of John, Jesus says, “All things whatsoever thou hast given 
me are of thee. ” (John 17:7). “And all mine are thine, and thine are 
mine. ” (John 17:10). In the Old Testament in the book of Joshua it is said in these words: “Ev -
ery place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given 
unto you. ” (Joshua 1:3). It does not matter where it is; analyze the promise and see if you can ac -
cept it literally. It is not physically true but it is psychologically true. Wherever you can stand in this world mentally that you can realize. Joshua is haunted by this promise that wherever he can place his foot 
(the foot is understanding), wherever the sole of his foot shall tread, that 
will be given unto him. He wants the most desirable state in the world, 
the fragrant city, the delightful state called Jericho. He finds himself barred by the impassable walls of Jericho. He is on the 
outside, as you are now on the outside. You are functioning three-dimen -
sionally and you cannot seem to reach the fourth-dimensional world 
where your present desire is already a concrete objective reality. You can -
not seem to reach it because your senses bar you from it. Reason tells 
you it is impossible, all things rounds about you tell you it is not true. Now you employ the services of a harlot and a spy, and her name is Ra -
hab. The word Rahab simply means the spirit of the father. RAH means 
the breath or spirit, and AB the father. Hence we find that this harlot is 
the spirit of the father and the father is man's awareness of being aware, 
man's I Amness, man's consciousness. More Free Books Law of Attraction HavenYour capacity to feel is the great spirit of the father, and that capacity is 
Rahab in this story. She has two professions that of a spy and that of a 
harlot. The profession of a spy is this: to travel secretly, to travel so quietly that 
you may not be detected. There is not a single physical spy in this world 
who can travel so quietly that he will be altogether unseen by others. He 
may be very wise in concealing his ways, and he may never be truly ap -
prehended, but at every moment of time he runs the risk of being detect -
ed. When you are sitting quietly with your thoughts, there is no man in the 
world so wise that he can look at you and tell you where you are mentally
dwelling. I can stand here and place myself in London. Knowing London quite well, 
I can close my eyes and assume that I am actually standing in London. If 
I remain within this state long enough, I will be able to surround myself 
with the environment of London as though it were a solid concrete objec -
tive fact. Physically I am still here, but mentally I am thousands of miles away and 
I have made elsewhere here. I do not go there as a spy, I mentally make 
elsewhere here, and then now. You cannot see me dwelling there, so you 
think I have just gone to sleep and that I am still here in this world, this 
three-dimensional world that is now San Francisco. As far as I am physi -
cally concerned, I am here but no one can tell me where I am when I en -
ter the moment of meditation. Rahab's next profession was that of a harlot, which is to grant unto men 
what they ask of her without asking man's right to ask. If she be an abso -
lute harlot, as her name implies, then she possesses all and can grant all 
that man asks of her. She is there to serve, and not to question man's 
right to seek what he seeks of her. You have within you the capacity to appropriate a state without knowing 
the means that will be employed to realize that end and you assume the 
feeling of the wish fulfilled without having any of the talents that men 
claim you must possess in order to do so. When you appropriate it in con -
sciousness you have employed the spy, and because you can embody that
state within yourself by actually giving it to yourself, you are the harlot, 
for the harlot satisfies the man who seeks her. You can satisfy self by appropriating the feeling that you are what you 
want to be. And this assumption though false, that is, although reason 
and the senses deny it, if persisted in will harden into fact. By actually 
More Free Books Law of Attraction Havenembodying that which you have assumed you are, you have the capacity 
to become completely satisfied. Unless it becomes a tangible, concrete re -
ality you will not be satisfied; you will be frustrated. You are told in this story that when Rahab went into the city to conquer it,
the command given to her was to enter the heart of the city, the heart of 
the matter, the very center of it, and there remain until I come. Do not go
from house to house, do not leave the upper room of the house into 
which you enter. If you leave the house and there be blood upon your 
head, it is upon your head. But if you do not leave the house and there be
blood, it shall be upon my head. Rahab goes into the house, rises to the upper floor, and there she remains
while the walls crumble. That is, we must keep a high mood if we would 
walk with the highest. In a very veiled manner, the story tells you that 
when the walls crumbled and Joshua entered, the only one who was 
saved in the city was the spy and the harlot whose name was Rahab. This story tells what you can do in this world. You will never lose the ca -
pacity to place yourself elsewhere and make it here. You will never lose 
the ability to give unto yourself what you are bold enough to appropriate 
as true of self. It has nothing to do with the woman who played that part. The explanation of the crumbling of the walls is simple. You are told that 
he blew upon the trumpet seven times and at the seventh blast the walls 
crumbled and he entered victoriously into the state that he sought. Seven is a stillness, a rest, the Sabbath. It is the state when man is com -
pletely unmoved in his conviction that the thing is. When I can assume 
the feeling of my wish fulfilled and go to sleep, unconcerned, undisturbed,
I am at rest mentally, and am keeping the Sabbath or am blowing the 
trumpet seven times. And when I reach that point the walls crumble. Cir -
cumstances alter then remold themselves in harmony with my assump -
tion. As they crumble I resurrect that which I have appropriated within. Section summary:
