2. How To Get A Feeling - 1
It has been said by lettered men for centuries, and that to
have a feeling of happiness is to be happy and have a
feeling of abundance is to have an abundance, and to have
a feeling of health is to be healthy.
At first, I did not understand the meaning of such
statements, and perhaps, you will not, at first, understand
the meaning. Now I do have some degree of understanding
of such statements, and I find that they have scientific
premises, based upon laws that are real and tangible as any
other science of which we are so familiar, such as electricity,
gravity, mathematics and chemistry.
The conscious mind originates a concept and expresses it in
the form of thoughts, ideas and in the form of words. It has
been discovered, in psychological research, that the degree
of feeling put into these concepts, and expressed, with
feeling, in words, to the subconscious, determines the
action in the subconscious. That any idea, expressed with
feeling to the subconscious by the conscious, must express
itself as an experience. That is a scientific, proven fact in
psychology.
Yes, any idea that is conceived and well defined, and
expressed with strong feeling, is felt by the subconscious,
and must expressed as an experience. And everything that is
impressed upon the subconscious, by an expressed feeling
consciously, must become an experience. Well, what do
people want more than anything else? They want a certain
type of experience. They want to experience a larger
measure of happiness.
They want to experience a larger measure of health and, of
course, a large measure of prosperity. So, we design our
ideas to contain the type of experiences we want to
experience, then we express them with feeling, consciously,
and they are impressed upon the subconscious mind, which

is the soil of life, and then, in time, when they have had time
to gestate and to become an experience, we have the
experience.
Now that is the general premise that can be pooled in each
of our lives, but how do we get this feeling? Someone says,
"Well, I have the concept, I would like to have a certain type
of experience, but it does not happen in my life. What is the
missing link?
What do I lack? What am I failing to do?" The answer to
that is you do not have the feeling for it. We must not only
have a concept we must have a feeling for it. Now how do
we get this feeling? If we can get the feeling, we can have the
experience, no more second if we cannot get the feeling, we
cannot have the experience, so the purpose of this chapter is
to talk about how to get the feeling.
Now, I would like to introduce what I call the law of
reversibility, which is a law in this universe, the same as
any other great law, like electricity. The law of reversibility
could be illustrated as follows: if you start with a dynamo
and a crank on a wheel, you can turn the crank and the
wheel and turn the dynamo which we will refer to as
physical action. We can start with physical action, and by
using physical action, we can turn the dynamo physically
and we can create electricity.
On the other hand, we can reverse the process. We can start
with electricity, and with electricity, we can turn a wheel or
a physical action. In other words, we can reverse the
process, we can start with physical action to create
electricity or we can start with electricity and create physical
action. I'm sure that everybody can understand that.
Now, let's apply it in a higher level of values. We can start
with physical action and create a feeling and then in turn,
Report excerpted from If You Can Count to Four

feeling will create a physical action. Show me a man that
has no feeling and if we can ask him to do certain things,
which would be physical action, the doing of these things
would create action which would be physical action.
Then we can cause him to feel a certain way after he goes
through these physical exercises. We can create any kind of
a feeling we want by getting him to assume this activity
physically. To have him play a certain role physically, he will
create within himself a feeling of that role. When he starts
the action, he has no feeling for it at all. It is merely an
exercise, a physical exercise.
Show me a man who has a certain feeling for a role and he
will play the role and do the things that the role calls for. In
other words, we can start with physical action and creating
feeling, or we can start with feeling and create an action.
That is the law of reversibility, and this law works on every
level of life. On the first dimension, the second dimension,
the third dimension and the fourth dimension.
So, how do we get a feeling?
No matter how cold we may feel toward some idea, we
identify the physical action in which we would exercise if we
were playing the role, then we decide to do that, at first
without feeling, then we do it over and over and over again
until we create the feeling, and as soon as we create a strong
feeling we are appropriating the basic essence of life.
We can consciously express this feeling; it will be impressed
upon the subconscious and anything that is impressed upon
the subconscious must become a habitual experience in our
lives.
So, while education is a wonderful thing, it is not necessary
to have a so-called academic education, perchance you don't
have one. If you have one it is wonderful and I congratulate

you, but I do not want anyone who does not have a so-called
academic education to say, "Well, this can't happen to me,"
because it isn't necessary to have an education to propagate
this law of reversibility. If you can act like a king, if you can
feel like a king, you can be a king. If you can act like you
are rich, you can feel like you are rich, and if you can feel
like you are rich, you can be rich. If you can act like you are
healthy, you can feel like you are healthy, and if you can feel
like you are healthy, you can be healthy. All of these laws
are fundamental and incorporate all secondary laws, such
as nutrition, such as cleanliness, such as exercise. Any
secondary law, that any school of thought recommends, is
subsidiary to these laws about which I am speaking at this
time.
Now, how do you get a feeling? You get a feeling by going
through the physical exercises that you would go through if
you were already the type of person you want to be. It is the
number two portion of the "If You Can Count To Four"
Formula.
The number two portion is, "Pretend that you already are
the person you want to be.”
Pretend that you already have what you want to have. That
is the appropriating of the law of reversibility. I did not go
into this law in the original discussion on the If You Can
Count To Four Formula because I wanted to keep it very,
very simple indeed.
However, through starting with action, if you will start with
action, you can create the feeling, the type of action that you
would be in engaged in if you were the person that you want
to be and if you already had the things that you want to
have. Go through that action and go through it over and
over again until you feel very strongly about it, Then as soon
Report excerpted from If You Can Count to Four

6. How To Get A Feeling - 5
as you feel strongly about it, it must become experience.
There is no way to stop it other than neutralizing it by
giving your subconscious a counter demand or a counter
feeling.
Isn't it a wonderful idea to be able to know that you can be
anything you want to be and have anything you want to
have merely by going through an act? One of the greatest
psychologists in the world (William James) said. "Act
enthusiastic and you will be enthusiastic. Act like you are
healthy and you will become healthy. Act like you are
prosperous and you will become prosperous."
Those statements are based upon the deeper laws of the
universe which are real and tangible and basic, just like any
other law. So, with childlike faith, I challenge each of you to
act like you are the person you want to be, act like you have
the things that you want to have. Select that beautiful
mansion in which you would want to live and think like it is
yours and act like it is yours. Go through the action of going
out to it as though it were yours. Pick out that lovely
automobile and act like it is yours. Go through every
moment as though it is yours until you have the feeling it is
yours, and as soon as the subconscious is deeply impressed
with the feeling that it is yours, it will go through all the
natural means of obtaining it for you, even to raising the
money. Yes, this covers the financial as well as all other
aspects.
So, this law of reversibility is the law that we must learn to
use in order to get the feeling.
Very briefly, I'm going to share with you this process, as I
used it myself, in taking my trip around the world last year.
Several months before we actually took the trip, we
designed the idea in the coldest fashion. There was no
feeling for it, but we began to act as though we were going to

7. How To Get A Feeling - 6
take the trip. We design our plans. Where we would go first,
how much time we would spend in each place, on the
absolute assumption that we're going to take a trip, and it
was very interesting, indeed, to observe just how each time
we had a conference, each time we acted as though we
actually taking the trip, how the feeling developed in Mrs.
Jones and myself and our close associates who were
working on the plan.
In a few weeks time, after we had been going through this
activity or the law of action, starting with the law of action,
it wasn't long before we had a very strong feeling about the
whole trip around the world. Of course, as many of you
know, we actually took the trip.
It became an experience and the law says that if you start
with action, start with physical activity, which is under the
direct control of the conscious mind, you can go through
these activities, even coldly and mechanically, and if you
keep on going through these activities consciously and
mechanically, you will stir a strong feeling in the
subconscious.
That may repeat again and again, that any concept, any idea
that is well-defined and is well impressed with feeling upon
the subconscious, it must express as an experience area. It
has no choice, it is a law the same as the law of gravity,
mathematics, chemistry or electricity.
So, you can literally be anything you want to be and you can
have anything that you want to have if you will first of all
identify it:
(1) Define it then play the game
(2) until it becomes a strong feeling in the conscious
and then express this concept with strong feeling on

the subconscious, and then it must become an
experience in your life.
So, I challenge you to test this out.
Try to prove me wrong, if you will. If you will prove it is
correct, it is a "truth" then you can literally be anything you
want to be and you can have anything you want to have.
So, dare to dream largely and "make no small plans
for they have no magic to stir men's blood."
