A human being always acts and feels and performs in accordance with what he imagines to be trueabout himself and his environment.This is a basic and fundamental law of mind.It is the way we are built.

2.  Your BRAIN and NERVOUS SYSTEM constitute
a goal-striving mechanism that operates
automatically to achieve a certain goal,very
much as a self-aiming torpedo or missile
seeks out its target and steers its way to it.

3. 1.It regards the human brain, nervous system and muscular system , as a
highly complex’ servo mechanism”
2.It acts as an automatic goal -seeking machine which “steers’ its way
to a target or goal by use of feedack data and stored information,
automatically correcting course when necessary.
3.We human beings not only have the capacity to create cybernetics
systems outside of ourselves ,but also the ability to learn how we can run our
own cybernetic system s in ourselves.

4.  Our actual experiences tend to prove our self
image which is a mental blueprint or picture
of ourselves.
 Understanding the psychology of the self can
mean the difference between success and
failure,love and hate,bitterness and
happiness.The discovery of the real self can
rescuee a crumbling marriage,recreate a
faltering career,and transform victims of
“personality failure.’-
T.F JAMES,Cosmopolitan Magazine,1959.

5.  1.All your actions ,feelings, behaviors –even
your abilities-are always consistent with this
self- image.It is a premise, a base upon
which our entire personality, our behavior
and even our circumstances are built
 2.The self-image can be changed.-Numerous
case histories have shown that one is never
too young or too old to change his self image
and thereby start to live a new life.

6.  The latest concept is that the so called
subconscious mind is not a ‘mind’ at all, but
a mechanism-a goal-striving “servo
mechanism’ consisting of the brain and
nervous system, which is used by and
directed by the mind .
 This Creative Mechanism within us is
impersonal. It works automatically and
impersonally to achieve goals of success and
happiness or unhappiness and failure
depending on the goals that one sets for it.

7.  Present it with “success goals,” and it
functions as a SUCCESS MECHANISM. Present
it with negative goals, and it operates just as
impersonally ,and just as faithfully , as a
FAILURE MECHANISM.
 The key-goal image is our self-image.Our
self-image prescribes the limits for the
accomplishment of any particular goals.It
prescribes “the area of the possible’.

8.  The goals that our own Creative Mechanism
seeks to achieve are mental images, or
mental pictures, which we create by the use
of imagination.
 Like any other servo-mechanism ,our
Creative Mechanism makes use of stored
information, or “memory” in solving current
problems and responding to current
situations.

9.  Man has something animals don’t:Creative
Imagination.Thus man of all creatures is
more than a creature, he is also a Creator.
With his imagination he can formulate a
variety of goals. Man alone can direct his
SUCCESS MECHANISM by the use of
imagination, or imaging ability.

10.  We are able to accomplish the goal of
picking up the pen because of an automatic
mechanism, and not by “will” and forebrain
thinking alone. All that the forebrain does is
to select the goal, trigger it into action by
desire, and feed information to the
automatic mechanism so that your hand
continually corrects its course.
