"It Works" and the "Magic of Believing"

If you have not read "It Works: The Famous Little Red Book That Makes Your Dreams Come True!" by RHJ and "The Magic of Believing" By Claude Bristol, then do yourself a favor and do it.
"It Works" was written in 1923 so it came before 1948's "The Magic of Believing".
RHJ's book may be one of the ones that Bristol read in his quest for knowledge.
The two are very complementary.
In "It Works" RHJ tells you to decide on what you want and write it down making a list.
Claude Bristol says the same thing, but his desires are placed on a card like an index card and he also has other tricks for reinforcing it like the "Mirror Technique."

Also you may note that in RHJ's book, contrary to most current New Thought ideas, he says to to list what you want.
No have....want.
In the follow up book, "The Meaning of the Mark", he mentions several times people writing down their desires as in, "I Want" not "I Have".
But he also does say that you should feel as though you already have these things, so it is a combination of both.
That may go round to where Joseph Murphy said that saying "I have" is pointless at first, because you do not "have" and your mind knows you are lying to it.
He advocated saying "Health" instead of "I am healthy".

Anyway, like I said, if you have not read "It Works" by RHJ and "The Magic of Believing" By Claude Bristol, do it and look for the similarities.
And you can throw in RHJ's "The Meaning of the Mark" for good measure.

Florence Scovel Shinn - The Game of Life

Well, since my last post about the "It Works by RHJ" test, I had to give it up.
It was like I hit a plateau and it just stopped working.
So I have switched gears in a way and started reading Florence Scovel Shinn.
Florence Scovel Shinn was born on September 24, 1871, in Camden, New Jersey.
She was an artist, an actress and then later a New Thought teacher and metaphysical writer.
If you listen or read her stuff, you will see a lot of similarities with Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphy, but there are also a lot of ways in which they are different.

She wrote three books, The Game of Life (1925), Your Word is Your Wand (1928) and The Secret Door to Success (1940).
I really have a funny feeling that her books are some of the ones that Neville read.

You can hear The Game of Life (1925) in it's entirety here:

It Works by RHJ Update

I started my "It Works by RHJ" test on December 18th, 2014 and I thought I would bring you all up to speed on it.
As I said in the last post, I had a couple of things happen that were beyond the realm of expectation.

But it seems like things have dropped off drastically.
It has been almost two months now and the core ten things that I listed have not happened.
And before you start thinking physical realm vs spiritual realm, let me remind you of what Neville always said, "Test it and see."

He was a big advocate, a HUGE advocate on Faith without works is dead.
People say, "Stop focusing on the material."
Well the material is where I am creating the change.
If nothing happens, to put it simply, it's not working.

Neville always said that you had to have certain things to live your life.
And if the techniques are not getting them, there is a problem with the technique or with you.

So like with the Carole Doré technique, I don't see anything happening in the material world.
But I will give it a bit longer and see if things turn around here.

As it is, I can't recommend this book either.

It Works by RHJ

I cannot believe that I have never done a write up on this book.
But if Blogger Search is to be believed, I haven't.

It Works by RHJ is nicknamed, "The Famous Little Red Book" because it is little (less than 30 pages)...and it is red...so there.
Anyway, the book was written by RHJ who at first didn't want his name being known.
Later it turns out his name was R.H. Jarrett.

The books premise, like all great books like this is VERY simple.

1) You write down in as much detail as possible exactly what you want.
2) Think about it as it is already done (Neville's "Living in the end") as much as possible.
3) Don't talk about it to anyone until you see the the things happen. You don't want their negativity.

The book can be purchased from Amazon or found online in many places for free in PDF form.

Amazon may be one of the best advertisements this book has, because there are many glowing tributes to the book there.
Possibly the greatest tribute is a review by a man named Brad Jensen, whose review is almost as long as the actual book.

Brad starts out saying that, "My annual income is now 35 times greater than it was the day I first read this little book. I have gained houses, cars, boats, businesses, friends, a family, and numerous creative and prospering ideas using the principles set forth in this book."
He even goes on to tell "How to Get Faster and Better Results" in his review.

But Brad's isn't the only review there.

I am in the middle of trying it out myself and I will let you know in a few days how it has worked out.
Right now I have a little over a week left on my 30 day trial run.
But I have to tell you, I have seen at least two things happen already that were amazing and one actually did defy reason.

Like Brad I am not selling the book.

Here is "It Works" by RHJ in it's entirety. I said it was a short book. But in a little over 13 minutes you can hear the whole thing.
