I will keep sending out the email versions to existing subscribers, but no longer link to the email signup (which means it will fade away).

I now think that is the best way just now to make the material as widely available as possible to those who need it, when they need it. In the beginning I liked the idea of emulating the way Bernard delivered course material on a regular basis only using email instead. However, I now think that is too restrictive and that people are better served by making it wide open and just let people access it whenever they want.

If you want to know when something will be available, just watch the site – especially under the Courses Menu.

Blessings,

Four Walls and a Roof

A Working-Method for Success – Available to You Now.

This is a method that can be used by anybody.  It is simple and easy to do, but it must be done by you because you want to.  No one else can make this effort for you.  Your power and potential are there, waiting for you to recognise them, but only you can use your own power and potential.  This recognition is called “Belief”.

This simple method described here, provides you with “four walls” that will surround and shelter you every day while you build within yourself an inner mental power that will bring to you the fulfilment of your desires.

Make sure that your desires are beneficial to yourself and to those who share your life, and are harmless to all others.  For “like attracts like” and only beneficial desires attract lasting benefit.

The “four walls” consist of statements that you must make to yourself at least four times a day – but more often when the need arises.  When you make these statements, you may do so in thoughts only, speaking soundlessly within.  Or you may, if you are alone, say them in a low tone.  Which ever you choose, you must make the statements slowly, firmly and with authority.  Stress the words that are underlined in the statements.  Speak the statements as though you were speaking to somebody else – actually you will be speaking to your subconscious mind, giving it knowledge and direction.

Four times a day say the “four walls” in their correct order (for they are progressive and will lead up to the “roof” of your desires).  Bear in mind that you must say them slowly, firmly and with authority.  When you have finished saying the “four walls”, add the “roof” by stating what your desires are.  It will not matter if, having begun, you change these desires after a few days or weeks.  Other ideas may and should unfold – as well as plans and opportunities in connection with your desires.  This will happen – it cannot possibly fail to happen.  Provided you use the “four walls” as described here, ideas, plans and opportunities will come with absolute certainty to you, because your subconscious mind will be using its power as you have directed it to do.

Just now I mentioned that the need may arise for you to use the “four walls” more often than four times a day.  Now this is most important!  You must use one or more of the “four walls” whenever doubt or lack of confidence or any other feeling of inadequacy occurs.  These “four walls” will guard you from weakening by doubt, the inner mental power that you are in the process of building up.  Here are pointers to assist you in choosing the correct “wall” for these extra occasions of use: –

Use your North “wall” for lack of confidence.
Use your South “wall” for a feeling of being alone or inadequate.
Use your East “wall” for doubts.
Use your West “wall” for mind wandering, procrastination and general dithering.

These “four walls” will turn you back to your inner mental power and assist you in bringing into your life that which you desire.  So use them whenever you feel the need, no matter how many times a day this may be.   (You can add the “roof” on these extra occasions too, if you wish.)

In addition to these extra occasions, say the “four walls” four times a day, adding immediately afterwards the “roof” statement of your desire.   Here are the “four walls”:-

The North Wall.   “You are a being whose inner powers are for ever linked with the mighty powers of the universe.”

The South Wall.   “You have within you a firm, close-clinging contact with the resources of all creation.

The East Wall.   “Your mind has definite, ever-active powers of creation because it is an off-shoot of the creative, universal mind.

The West Wall.   “What you think about daily, with close attention and interest, will become a part of you and will, with absolute certainty, visibly manifest itself in your life.

…    …    …

Now, at the end of your “four walls”, make the “roof” statement of your desires.  Continue to use the way you have chosen, either in your thoughts, soundlessly, or in a low tone.  Make your “roof” statement without tension, but clearly, firmly, authoritatively.  Do it seriously, for it is a scientific process that needs your whole, but relaxed attention.  THIS METHOD, IF PROPERLY CARRIED OUT AS DESCRIBED, CANNOT FAIL TO BRING YOU SUCCESS.

You now have the method.  Read all the directions repeatedly until you know them well.  Remember – your power and potential are there, waiting for YOU to recognise them, but only YOU can use YOUR OWN power and potential.  This recognition is called “Belief.”

By pure coincidence this is being sent out on Good Friday, so I hope you have a good Easter weekend.

The Abundant Life News will be a mix of things which Bernard (who was Bernard), the originator of Thought Bricks used to send out in his Bernard’s Weekly News (it later became Bernard’s World News). I have a stack of old BWN’s and I will look for relevant articles to extract and will some add some topical comments too. I am planning to eventually send these out once per week, but it might take me a wee while to get into the rhythm of it.

Enjoying the Success of Others

In the Thought Bricks material Bernard put a lot of emphasis on delighting in the success of other students. There are very important reasons why. Indeed, it is fundamental to our own success in creating the life we want.

I must admit I was not very good at that part in the beginning. I suppose I felt daunted by the successes that people were reporting in the BWN. When I read about some wonderful new job, relationship, or new house, or whatever, that someone gained while doing the course, I took no real pleasure from it. At that time I would feel, “That is all right for them, but what about me?…” I felt that their successes were nothing to do with me.

It eventually dawned on me how wrong my thinking was. By thinking like that I was separating myself from the successful students and separating myself from success. I was seeing them as different from me.  If in my thinking, they are “successful” and I am “different” then what am I? “Not-successful” is the obvious answer. It showed me that I had attitudes and beliefs which were holding me back from success and holding me back from enjoying the success of others. More than this, it showed me that those beliefs which held me back from enjoying the success of others were the same ones which held me back from my own success.

There is a wonderful principle behind being able to be glad about another’s success. It aligns us with the attitude and beliefs which created their success. It puts us in harmony with the level of abundance which they are achieving and makes it more likely similar things will come our way. Anything else means that we believe too much in lack and limitations and that we assume that another’s success is at our expense. That is not the way of the Wonder Workers, that we can become.

I highly recommend looking around you for people who already have something that you want. Get into the habit of being glad for them. Think to yourself “If they can do it, I can do it”. Think about how they felt when the go it, and how you will feel when you get it. Think about how their success is an example of what can be done. Think about how they are helping you by reminding you of what you want and showing you that it is achievable. Put aside any thoughts that they are any better than you.

Also consider the damaging affects of resentment. Resentment is transmitted by our body language, attitude and tone of voice. Resentment stops people from helping us, because they see that we are not open to them. People who might like to help us achieve what we want will stay away, if we are resentful. There are many who are only too delighted to help others gain the abundance which they have achieved. In fact for some this is one of their greatest joys. Yet, resentment will keep them away. Also, of course, resentment is a negation of the Spirit within us. It is a denial of the good which is coming to us.

Resentment is a sign of how little we know. After all if you knew (really knew) that wonderful things were coming into your life, what would you have to be resentful about? If you knew that the source of abundance is within you, you would have no reason to resent anyone. Resentment becomes redundant when we really come to know the source of prosperity which lives within us.

By changing my attitude in this way, I became more and more able to enjoy the successes of others. I came to delight in reading about the prosperity others were achieving in BWN and in seeing it in the lives of those around me. Of course, my own level of abundance came along in leaps and bounds at the same time. When you feel glad for another’s success – then you have that success. It may take another form, more suited to your needs, but you will have the equivalent.

That is why Bernard put so much emphasis on enjoying the success of other student. It is a fast track to our own success.

An occasional newsletter, The Abundant Life, is also available. Signup is available on most pages on the site as well as on the course signup page.

I will also now be able to start adding more content to the site as well as adding new features.

Sorry that it took so long, It was a bigger job than I thought!

Enjoy!

As Bernard says

“This ‘down-to-earth’ chart will enable you to get started with effective thought building. To thought build, you must use your inner power. Before using this power, you must first realise that you have it.

Begin like this. Pick a leaf and take it home with you. When alone, hold it in both hands and look at it. Then begin to think on these lines….” see The Green Leaf Chart

You can find it any time under the Charts Menu.

Blessings,

William

Also very good news. Another student has loaned me the remaining 7 of the Heaven Books and I have been busily scanning them. The text will start to appear in early in January under the Heaven Books menu.

Blessing of abundance to all of you.
