Grow Rich While You Sleep is a most unusual and thought provoking book. There is abundant scientific evidence that the subconscious functions while we sleep. Sleep-suggestion is a remarkably efficient way of directing suggestions to the subconscious during sleep. A method has been devised that makes sleep-suggestion possible during restful hours of sleep. This method is described and explored in detail in this exceptional book. "WE FIRST THINK IN TERMS of success before we manifest success," is the first motto I wrote after learning the influence of mind over matter. Practically every chapter in this book is written to impress upon you the fact that all achievement begins with thought. But, knowing this is not enough, we should learn how to build a success consciousness." - Ben Sweetland (Author, Psychologist) 95% of all human problems stem from a negative mind. This figure includes such traits as timidity, domestic discord, business failure, bad memory, tenseness, unhappiness, worry, etc. You can do something about it... while you sleep! You are a mind with a body attached, not a body with a mind attached! Realize this and you are on your way to self-mastery. This is the new approach to the Conscious Mind through the other level that never sleeps, the Creative Mind. What you will discover is priceless! This book shows how to use the deepest thinking part of you, while you sleep, to get whatever you want out of life . . . money, personal influence, love, respect and admiration. At will, you can direct your Creative Mind to assist you in solving problems . . . making the right decisions ... in creating ways and means of great achievement . . . over night! With this technique you can sleep on it and awake in the morning with answers so clear-cut you will be amazed! By unblocking the mind-line this method automatically improves the memory, strengthens other mental powers, casting out self-doubt and self-defeat. It builds optimism, confidence, courage, and brings out latent talents, shows that you can grow rich ... in all things . . . material as well as spiritual . . . while you sleep. Unleash your ceative mind to your success and grow rich while you sleep!

Rich PREPARE
YOURSELF for a
wonderful experience. Whatever you
want out of
life, this book will show you the way to make it come to you. Be it
money,
influence, love, respect, or admiration—be it any or all of these—it
will be
yours in abounding measure.
If you too
are that way—don't
worry. This book is going to change you. Start by remembering that you
are
better than you consciously think you are. In fact, if you already know
how you
would like to spend a lot of money, you are far ahead of most men! >> How
to recognize
your real goals in life—no matter what anyone else tries to tell you. >> How
to get
acquainted with your real self—your true abilities, your vast fund of
hidden
talent. >> How
to fill yourself
with such genuine, deep-down confidence, zest and good-will that other
people
will be pleased to help you get what you want. >> How
to find and hold
the full, glorious picture of your own success and build toward that
picture
with every word and deed.
Without
changing the meaning
of this timeless, golden truth, I give it to you more along the lines
of modern
psychology: A man is what his Creative Mind says he is. You are not a
body with a
mind attached. You are a mind with a body attached. Remember this, and
you take
your first step toward self-mastery. The other
level never sleeps.
This is the Creative Mind. Your Creative
Mind literally
keeps you alive. It is responsible for the involuntary life-functions
such as
your heartbeat and your breathing. It has great control over your
glands, the master
regulators of your body. Most
important for our
purpose: Your Creative Mind also governs your personality, your
character, your
inmost drives, your deepest and most secret desires! W. Clement
Stone conceived a
powerful picture in his Creative Mind; he saw himself controlling a
large
insurance company. Now, we all know that to start a business you need
capital;
in fact, most business failures are caused by lack of capital to
tide-over a
bad time. Well, my friend Stone had less than $100 in his pocket. But
he has
made a personal fortune of some $100,000,000... beginning as the head
of an
insurance company. How many
salesmen will go out
today with a good product and a good sales pitch—and ring up no sale?
It's your
Conscious Mind that knows the facts about a product and how it can
benefit the
user. But it's your Creative Mind that determines whether you inspire
trust or
suspicion, belief or doubt—whether you are the kind of man who is
well-liked as
soon as he says Hello, or the kind who shapes up as a negative
character whom
it's so easy not to do business with. It's your
Creative Mind that
can and will put you up there among the happy, well-clothed, and
well-supplied
people; the people who attract love, who find their way out of
difficulties,
and who seem always to live in the sun.
As I shall
show you, the
actual process of communication is very easy. Some people take a few
days to
master this priceless secret. I know of several men who did it in one
night.
It's a wonderful experience to find that magic genie at your command. What shall
you tell your
Creative Mind while you are sleeping? First, I suggest you practice
with the
tested messages you'll find in this book. I know by experience how
powerful
they are. Very soon,
however, you'll
create your own messages. Mind-pictures, really... of you driving the
car you
want to drive ... living in the house you want... belonging to the
clubs or
social groups you've yearned to join. And, most of all, you supplied
with
plenty of money and spending it in the way that pleases you most! Now you are
going to change
yourself right down there where you really live. This time you'll cast
out all
negation, self-doubt, self-defeat. Optimism, self-confidence, courage
and
wonderful new talent will be yours—and the road to riches is straight
and wide.
Since some
three-quarters of
our illness has a mental basis, doesn't it stand to reason that your
state of
mind has a tremendous effect on you? In fact, the famous researcher Dr.
John A.
Schindler has shown that one of the most positive aids to health is a
cheerful,
constructive, forward-looking state of mind. I know that
many men get rich
at the cost of their health—rich enough to be able to afford the most
expensive
doctors. This is not
going to happen
to you. The next few years, while you build your fortune, will be your
happiest
years. You'll free yourself of much inner conflict and have no
psychosomatic
reason to become a "headache type" or a "bag of ulcers." What's more,
you'll rid
yourself of a great deal of fatigue and get more work done with much
less
effort. For what is more fatiguing except defeat—the dreadful tiredness
of
continually butting your head against a wall? The best tonic for this
tiredness
is doing one job after another with sureness and success. At the end of
a day
you're rarin' to go off for a well-earned session with your favorite
hobby. I told her
that the answers
to her problems were contained in her Creative Mind. I spent a little
over an
hour with her, explaining what I explain in this book. Six months
later she came
back to tell me that her married life was now ideal, that she had
plenty of
fine garments in her wardrobe, and that her children were now a joy
instead of
a care. All she had
done was to build
firm mind-pictures of the ideal conditions she desired. These pictures
literally became part of her Creative Mind. Yes, it also took a certain
amount
of "doing" in order to make her dreams come true. But only when she
believed she could handle her situation did she set about getting
things done. HOW DO YOU
RATE YOUR
SUCCESS-POWER? Here is a
favorite among all
the true experiences that have been told to me. It concerns an
experiment
conducted with a laborer who could not read or write. This man had
worked with his
muscles all his life. Now, in his early sixties, he began to age
rapidly. But,
through a tricky calculation, it was "proved" to him that the records
were wrong and he actually was ten years younger than he thought. Almost at
once, this man
looked younger, acted and felt younger. Where before he had complained
he
couldn't work the way he used to, now he did a full day's hard labor,
every
day, without excessive fatigue. There was nothing wrong with him. But
he had
thought in his Creative Mind that at sixty he had to complain and slow
down—just
the way all his friends did. It has been
noticed, too,
that people who go blind when they are young often will look younger,
thirty
years later, than sighted people of the same age. It is said this
happens
because they remember their own faces as youthful faces. They don't
look for
wrinkles, they don't expect to see grey hair. In the same
way, many a man
expects a mediocre performance of himself. He gets it! Here are a
few of the
commonest ways in which people down-grade themselves: "I'm just too
shy to get
along with others." Often this means that your Creative Mind keeps on
telling you that you don't like yourself. Therefore you don't like the
way you
act among other people, and would prefer to stay away from them. But your
Creative Mind can be
persuaded to change its signals completely. Soon you are going to like
yourself, like other people, and enjoy sharing their good times. "My memory is
so bad, it's
always embarrassing me." Strangely enough, your essential memory cannot
be
bad—because your Creative Mind retains an impression of everything you
have
heard, seen, read, felt or tasted since the day of your birth—and
perhaps even
an impression of everything you have thought, as well.
Millions of
people waste the
greater part of their minds by blocking-off their own memories. I will
show you
that an open mind-line not only improves your memory, but also
strengthens and
alerts other mental powers. It can be worth a great deal to be able to
come up
promptly with names, addresses, phone numbers, prices. Just
remember—you have a
perfectly good memory. We'll get together and wake it up! "I can't
concentrate." People who are scatter-brained sometimes fear they are
mentally defective. Except in rare cases, this is not so. More likely,
your Creative
Mind has learned bad habits.
action must
begin with a
thought. And you will see that you, in your Creative Mind, decide how
much
power to give to a particular thought. Your Creative
Mind will give
you a cheerful, zestful attitude toward anything you do. When you deal
forcefully with
problems and decisions, you'll grow in poise and self-control. Things
that
fluster other people won't fluster you. Let me tell
you one more
story. It's about myself. Years ago,
when I first began
to realize the limitless power of the Creative Mind, I happened to need
some
repair work on my house. But I found reasons for putting it off.
Probably I
invented reasons!
Right there
is the key secret
of getting rich. Today, now,
decide in your
Conscious Mind that you are rich. (Your major job is completed!) As soon as
you read this
book, you'll know the sure, easy way to implant that million-dollar
thought in
your Creative Mind. And then nothing, absolutely nothing can stand in
your way. Order
