A problem is your best chance to do your best![/i] Duke Ellington

You can Transform the Way You See Problems!

Destiny  is something you walk into gradually by facing a string of mundane problems and transforming them one by one from blockages to opportunities and guidance.  As you
address each problem from now on, be looking for the soul's motives. Your soul creates situations so you can learn from direct experience; it doesn't care about having money, for example, but about the experiences you create and the lessons you learn by having or not having money.  When you notice a problem and look inside yourself,  you'll see that  you've stopped your own energy flow.  Why?  Your soul is indicating something you haven't fully experienced or a place where you have a misperception about the way life works.  Most often, a problem is pointing your attention to an experience you need to have.  So instead of looking for a strategy or action that will change the problematic situation, try relaxing into the situation to see what your soul wants you to notice. 

Nancy's high level of anxiety about asking her boss for more responsibility and money, for example, is really about her desire to leave the company and become an independent consultant.  Harry's irritation with the neighbors in his apartment complex, whose cigarette smoke comes into his bedroom, really pertains to his need to feel entitled to have his own home.  Joan's lingering bronchial infection is a way she can subliminally access her deep grief over the death of her husband.  By using their problems as stepping stones to new insights, these people can clear interferences to their soul expression and destiny.

When your mind stops on a problem, pay attention to the following things as you look for  a  solution:  

1.   Reframe the problem so you see it as helpful.  
By doing this, you take away the pressure caused by resistance and allow space for solutions to appear.  Also, see the problem first as a function of the soul, not just of the physical, emotional, and mental worlds.  Don't forget to center in your home frequency as  you begin contemplating the problem's inner dynamics.  This helps you find understanding much more quickly. I'll explain home frequency at the end of this blog.

2.  Your problem is really a question. The question helps you discover an experience your soul wants you to have  Instead of making your problem into a static statement, which locks in a reality you don't like-"I need a new car but can't afford it"-turn it into one or more questions that elicit insights about the experience your soul is trying to facilitate for you.  Questions create movement.  What experience will having a new car give me?  What inner lesson will I learn by experiencing the renewed feelings of safety, freedom, and power that a new car will provide?  What can I experience right now to be more confident about moving around more in the world and going to new places?

3.  Solve the problem internally in your imagination. You don't have to wait to get an actual car.  By imagining yourself driving a new car, feeling the power of acceleration, or the reliability of a new engine, or heightened self-esteem and pride, you're having the experience your soul wants you to have.  Especially if you use all your senses  while imagining, your body will recognize the experience as real.  Now you've empowered yourself to come into the soul's reality where positive character traits are normal, where you truly are free and entitled to feel good and abundant.  The experience of driving a new car in  your imagination helps you return to the feeling of what it is like to live your destiny.      
                                          

4. Once you have the internal experience the problem was pointing to, the external physical problem may resolve quickly. In the case of getting a new car, once you feel the confident energy and desire to explore what a new car would facilitate for you, you might land a 
high-paying freelance project that gives you the money you need to buy one, or a friend may decide to get a sports car and sell her sedan, and she'll 
give it to you for a great price.  Then you  can ground the imaginary experience in physical reality and have completed a life lesson.  

Sometimes problems are signs of a wrong direction, and as soon as you have the experience your soul wants you to have, the "symptom" disappears.  Maybe
your body starts aching and you think something is terribly wrong.  The doctor can't find anything.   If you relax into the problem,  you find that your body just wants to move 
more.  Your start walking after dinner and the pain goes away.  The soul needed your body to be capable of transmitting more energy so you could reach your next level of growth, and this was the way it got your attention.  

5. Problems indicate a "turn" of the wave and a new vibration that pertains to your destiny. Make sure you're seeing what the soul is trying to reveal.  Once  you give yourself the experience toward which the problem is pointing you, what new direction are  you facing? What  wants to happen next?  What's the soul's larger  intent?  How has solving this problem helped open you to new expanded possibilities? 

6.  If many problems occur at once, there's usually just one underlying theme. There are times when snags pile up and problems seem to breed more problems.You might feel jinxed.  It's probably because there's a very big issue surfacing from your subconscious that you've resisted dealing with, and your soul is clearly telling you that it's time to take care of it.  Every escape route is blocked.  Even tiny things are going wrong.  It's a sign that the surfacing issue is highly out of tune with your home frequency.  Best not to try to solve everything, but stop and feel into the deeper tensions and questions.  What experience are you afraid you'll always have to live with?  What experience do you desperately want to have and to be normal?  Freeing up the core issue will often create a condition in which many problems are solved with one action.

7. Even very mundane problems contain your soul's guidance.  I have some glop on my printer's roller that's making white spots on my printouts.  The plants are too dry.  My computer just started turning itself off as I'm writing, and I discover the power source needs replacing.   Each one of these things is symbolic of something in me that my soul wants me to notice.  Is there an old way of perceiving that is blocking my ability to write more brilliantly.  Do I need to stop, rest, and rejuvenate so I can continue to do a good job?  My soul wants me to tend to these "problems" in a non-problematic way; I am to pay loving attention to each thing, to return it to its ideal state.  As I do, I remind myself of my own ideal state and reaffirm that I am living according to my destiny.

Yes, we see there are problems in the world.  But we believe in a universal force that, when activated by the human heart, has the power to make all things right.  Such is the divine authority of love; to renew the heart, renew the nations, and ultimately renew the world.  Marianne Williamson

You have an amazing vibration inside you - a resonance that conveys your soul's love, truth, abundance, and joy. It bubbles up from your tiny "quantum entities," waving out through your cells and tissues to fill the space around you. It's always there, and it remains dependably consistent. This is your home frequency, the vibration of your soul as it expresses through your body.

The Mathematics of Manifestation

Whatever you hold in your thoughts and mix with emotion will manifest itself into your life, guaranteed. Hold a thought in your mind and feel the emotion in your heart and it is on its way.

Then why do so many people have trouble attracting what they want into their lives?

The answer is very simple. They are not holding their thoughts on what they want long enough to bring their desires into reality. They let the cares and troubles of the day take over. It's really not surprising the majority are terrible at manifesting what they want.

You have over 50,000 thoughts a day, a jumbled mess of unwanted and unnecessary thoughts. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. This means the average person has a different thought every 1.728 seconds.

86,400 seconds/day ÷ 50,000 thoughts/day = 1.728 thoughts/second

What percentage of your 50,000 thoughts are focused on attracting what you want to manifest in your life? Is it fifty percent (hardly), ten percent (doubtful), one percent (maybe)?

If we focused just one percent of our 50,000 thoughts on what we wanted to manifest that would be equal to 500 thoughts.

Do you focus 500 of your 50,000 thoughts daily on what you want? Most don't even come close.

How much time would be involved for you to use 500 of your 50,000 thoughts to manifest what you want?

If the average thought lasts 1.728 seconds then 500 thoughts would last 864 seconds or 14.4 minutes.

500 thoughts x 1.728 seconds = 864 seconds

864 seconds ÷ 60 seconds / minute = 14.4 minutes

If you can focus just one percent of your thoughts daily on what you want to manifest in your life you will see it make its appearance. If you can focus your thoughts for just 14.4 minutes daily on what you want to manifest you will see it make its appearance.

Here we are talking pure 100% concentration. We do not mean sitting down to meditate for 14.4 minutes and having your mind wander and drift through the other 49,500 thoughts. Can you give 100% attention and focus to your desire for 14.4 minutes.

In one sitting most people can't. Their minds aren't able to stay focused for that long of a period. Most minds will start to wander and drift even before a minute has elapsed. So what can you do?

Can you give full attention and concentration to what you want to manifest for just 30 seconds? That is definitely a lot easier.

Now what if we break up the 14.4 minutes a day we need to focus on what we want to manifest into 30 second increments. That would mean we need to find 29 (its actually 28.8 but let's round it for simplicity) times during the course of our day where we can focus for just thirty seconds on that which we want to appear in our lives.

14.4 minutes x 60 seconds / minute = 864 seconds

864 seconds ÷ 30 seconds = 28.8 times a day

What if you could concentrate a minute at a time instead of 30 seconds? How many times a day would you have to spend concentrating on your desires?

864 seconds ÷ 60 seconds (1 minute) = 14.4 times a day

What if you could go a full 2 minutes?

864 seconds ÷ 120 seconds (2 minutes) = 7.2 times a day

If you spend just 14.4 minutes a day replacing just 500 of your useless 50,000 thoughts you will begin to see everything you want manifesting into your life.

Do you want to see your dreams manifest faster? Then just spend more time replacing more of your 50,000 thoughts. You can concentrate for fewer seconds more times daily or more seconds fewer times daily. It is the same either way. It is up to you.

I Still Know Who She Is......

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while! As she is a victim of Alzheimer's disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me but I still know who she is.' I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
Peace is seeing a sunset and knowing who to thank. The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
I hope you share this with someone you care about, I just did. Life isn't about how to survive the storm but how to dance in the rain.

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Almighty God, you will make it to a place called Success.

Hi friends, its been a while. Wow! Summer is coming to an end and there is a gentle awareness of fall in the air. Do you feel it? Can you smell it?

I was thinking how things are changing once again and it made me think of the cycles in our lives. Life is full of shifting phases and cycles. The tide comes in and the tides go out. Winter's harshness gives away to summer's delightful charm. Sometimes we lose a spouse, a friend, only to find a new and more meaningful relationship or friendship. It's an amazing process, this thing called life, though it can be bitter sweet at times. Just when you are broken down and you think you can't take it anymore, the tides can shift and you find new life and optimism gushing forward, causing you to forget about your past and relish in exciting possibilites of the futue.

Accepting the cycles and rhythms of life brings with it maturity and wisdom. In order to make it SIMPLE, we must honor the whole cycle of life and not lament at the phases when the tides are going out. Instead we should TRUST THE WHOLE PROCESS and learn to cherish the times when the tides come in, bringing with them new life and new refreshment. For just as surely as the tides go out, they will return again. And who knows what they will bring in, maybe even richer, more abundant life and untold treasures?

We have to remember the great conductor of life knows what's going on always. He sees much further into the future than any of us are able to. He knows what's in our best interests. Just because at certain moments of your life the tides are going out, or things are ending or being taken away, doesn't mean he loves you any less. Sometimes he has to take away the present, to return to you a brighter future. So whenever the tides are going out, hold on and brace yourself, cause when the tides come in, as I promise you they will, they may sweep you off your feet. Don't be discouraged, don't despair, but SIMPLY TRUST THE PROCESS and phases of life. Remember, when the tide comes in, they always bring new life, adventures and new beginnings.

Man's greatest motivating force is his desire to please woman! The hunter who excelled during prehistoric days, before the dawn of civilization, did so because of his desire to appear great in the eyes of woman. Man's nature has not changed in this respect. The "hunter" of today brings home no skins of wild animals, but he indicates his desire for her favor by supplying fine clothes, automobiles, and wealth. Man has the same desire to please woman that he had before the dawn of civilization. The only thing that has changed is his method of pleasing. Men who accumulate large fortunes, and attain to great heights of power and fame, do so, mainly to satisfy their to desire to please women. Take women out of their lives, and great wealth would be useless to most men. It is this inherent desire of man to please woman which gives woman the power to make or break a man.

The woman who understands man's nature and tactfully caters to it need have no fear of competition from other women. Men may be "giants" with indomitable will -power when dealing with other men, but they are easily managed by the woman of their choice.

Most men will not admit that they are easily influenced by the women they prefer, because it is in the nature of the male to want to be recognized as the stronger of the species. Moreover, the intelligent woman recognized this manly trait and very wisely makes no issue of it.

Some men know that they are being influenced by the women of their choice--their wives, sweethearts, mothers or sisters--but they tactfully refrain from rebelling against the influence because they are intelligent enough to know that no man is happy or complete without the modifying influence of the right woman.

The man who does not recognize this important truth deprives himself of the power which has done more to help men achieve success than all other forces combined.

Here is an interpretation which would, when properly understood, bring harmony out of the chaos which exists in too many marriages. The disharmonies often express in the form of nagging may usually be traced to lack of knowledge on the subject of sex. Where love, romance and the proper understanding of the emotion and function of sex abide, there is no disharmony between married people.

Fortunate is the husband whose wife understand the true relationship between the emotions of love, sex, and romance. When motivated by this holy triumvirate, no form of labor is burdensome, because even the most lowly form of effort takes on the nature of a labor of love.

It is a very old saying that "a man's wife may either make him or break him," but the reason is not always clear. the "making" and "breaking" are the results of the wife's understanding, or lack of understanding of the emotions of love, sex, and romance.

If a woman permits her husband to lose interest in here, and become more interested in other women, it is usually because of her ignorance, or indifference toward the subjects of sex, love and romance. This statement presupposes, of course, that genuine love once existed between a man and his wife. The facts are equally applicable to a man who permits his wife's interest in him to die.

Married people often bicker over a multitude of trivialities. If these are analyzed accurately, the real cause of the trouble will often be found to be indifference, or ignorance on these subjects.

Memories of love never pass. They linger, guide, and influence long after the source of stimulation has faded. There is nothing new in this. Every person who has been moved by genuine love knows that it leaves enduring traces upon the human heart. The effect of love endures, because love is spiritual in nature. The man who cannot be stimulated to great heights of achievement by love, is hopeless-he is dead, though he may seem to live.

Go back into your yesterdays, at times, and bathe your mind in the beautiful memories of past love. It will soften the influence of the present worries and annoyances. It will give you a source of escape from the unpleasant realities of life, and maybe-who knows?-your mind will yield to you, during this temporary retreat into the world of fantasy, ideas, or plans which may change the entire financial or spiritual status of your life.

If you believe yourself unfortunate, because you have loved and lost, perish the thought. One who has loved truly, can never lose entirely. Love is whimsical and temperamental. It comes when it pleases, and goes away without warning. Accept and enjoy it while it remains, but spend no time worrying about its departure. Worry will never bring it back.

Dismiss, also, the thought that love never comes but once. Love may come and go, times without number, but there are no two love experiences which affect one in just the same way. There may be, and there usually is, one love experience which leaves a deeper imprint on the heart than ll the others, but all love experiences are beneficial, except to the person who becomes resentful and cynical when love makes its departure.

There should be no disappointment over love, and there would be none if people understood the difference between the emotions of love and sex. The major difference is that love is spiritual , while sex is biological. No experience, which touches the human heart with a spiritual force, can possibly be harmful, except through ignorance, or jealousy.

Love is, without question, life's greatest experience. It bring some into communion with Infinite Intelligence. When mixed with the emotions of romance and sex, it may lead one far up the ladder of creative effort. The emotions of love, sex and romance are sides of the external triangle of achievement-building genius.

Love is an emotion with many sides, shades and colors. But the most intense and burning of all kinds of love, is that experienced in the blending of the emotions of love and sex. Marriages, not blessed with the eternal affinity of lover properly balanced and proportioned with sex, cannot be happy ones - and seldom endure. Love, alone, will not bring happiness in marriage, nor will sex alone. When these two beautiful emotions are blended, marriage may bring about a state of mind closest to the spiritual that one may ever know on this earthly plane.

When the emotion of romance is added to those of love and sex, the obstructions between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence are removed. Then a genius has been born.

Sex, alone, is a mighty urge to action, but its forces are like a cyclone - they are often uncontrollable. when the emotion of love begins to mix itself with the emotion of sex, the result is a calmness of purpose, poise, accuracy of judgment, and balance. What person, who has attained to the age of forty, is so unfortunate as to be unable to analyze these statements, and to corroborate them by his own experience?

When driven by his desire to please a woman, based solely upon the emotion of sex, a man may be and usually is, capable of great achievement, but his actions may be disorganized, distorted, and totally destructive. When driven by his desire to please a woman, based upon the motive of sex alone, a many may steal, cheat and even commit murder. But when the emotion of love is mixed with the emotion of sex, that same man will guide his actions with more sanity, balance and reason.

Love, romance, and sex are all emotions capable of driving men to heights of super achievement. Love is the emotion which serves as a safety valve and insures balance, poise, and constructive effort. When combined, these three emotions may lift one to an altitude of a genius.

The emotions are states of mind. Nature has provided man with a "chemistry of the mind" which operates in a manner similar to the principles of chemistry of matter. It is a well-known fact that, through the aid of chemistry of matter, a chemist may create a deadly poison by mixing certain elements, none of which are-- in themselves--harmful in the right proportions. The emotion may, likewise, be combined so as to create a deadly poison. The emotions of sex and jealousy, when mixed, may turn a person into an insane beast.

The presence of any one or more of the destructive emotions in the human mind, through the chemistry of the mind, sets up a poison which may destroy one's sense of justice and fairness.

The road to genius consists of the development, control and use of sex, love and romance. Briefly, the process may be stated as follows:

Encourage the presence of these emotions as the dominating thoughts in one's mind, and discourage the presence of all the destructive emotions. The mind is a creature of habit. It thrives upon the dominating thoughts fed it. Through the faculty of will-power, one may discourage the presence of any emotion, and encourage the presence of any other. Control of the mind, through the power of will, is not difficult. Control comes from persistence, and habit. The secret of control lies in understanding the process of transmutation. When any negative emotion presents itself in one's mind, it can be transmuted into a positive, or constructive emotion, by the simple procedure of changing one's thoughts.

There is no other road to genius than through voluntary self effort! A man my attain to great heights of financial or business achievement, solely by the driving force of sex energy, but history is filled with evidence that he may, and usually does, carry with him traits of character which rob him of the ability to either hold, or enjoy his fortune. This is a worthy of analysis thought and meditation, for it states a truth, the knowledge of which may be helpful to women as well as men. Ignorance of this has cost thousands of people their privilege of happiness, even though they possessed riches.

The entire subject of sex is one about which the majority of people appear to be unpardonably ignorant. The urge of sex has been grossly misunderstood, slandered, and burlesqued by the ignorant and the evil minded.

Men and women who are known to be blessed - yes blessed- with highly sexual natures, are usually looked as being people who will bear watching. Instead of being called blessed, they are usually called cursed.

Millions of people, even in this age of enlightenment, have inferiority complexes which they developed because of this false belief that a highly sexed nature is a curse. These statements, of the virtue of sex energy, should not be construed as justification for the libertine. The emotion of sex is a virtue only when used intelligently, and with discrimination. It may be misused, and often is, to such an extent that it debases, instead of enriches, both body and mind.

It seemed quite significant to the author, when he made the discovery that practically every great leader, whom he had he privilege of analyzing, was a man whose achievements were largely inspired by a woman. In many instances, the "woman in the case" was a modest, self-denying wife, of whom the public had heard but little or nothing. In a few instances, the source of inspiration has been traced to the "other women."

Every intelligent person knows that stimulation in excess through alcoholic drink and narcotics, is a destructive form of intemperance. Not every person knows, however, that overindulgence in sex expression may become a habit as destructive and as detrimental to creative effort as narcotics or liquor.

A sex-mad man is not essentially different from a dope-mad man! Both have lost control over their faculties of reason and will-power. Many cases of hypochondria (imaginary illness) grow out of habits developed in ignorance of the true function of sex.

It may be readily seen that ignorance on the subject of sex transmutation forces stupendous penalties upon the ignorant on the one hand, and withholds from them equally stupendous benefits on the other.

Widespread ignorance on the subject is due to the fact that the subject has been surrounded with mystery and dark silence. The conspiracy of mystery and silence has had the same effect upon the minds of young people that the psychology of prohibition had. The result has been increased curiosity, and desire to acquire more knowledge of all lawmakers, and most physicians-by training best qualified to educate youth on that subject-information has not been easily available.

A teacher, who has trained and directed the efforts of more than 30,000 salespeople, made the astounding discovery that highly sexed men are the most efficient salesman. The explanation is, that the factor of personality known as "personal magnetism" is nothing more nor less than sex energy. Highly sexed people always have a plentiful supply of magnetism. Through cultivation and understanding, this vital force may be drawn upon and used to great advantage in the relationships between people. This energy may be communicated to others through the following media:

1. The hand-shake. The touch of the hand indicates, instantly, the presence of magnetism, or the lack of it.

2. The tone of voice. Magnetism, or sex energy, is the factor with which the voice may be colored, or made musical and charming.

3. Posture and carriage of the body. Highly sexed people mover briskly, and with grace and ease.

4. The vibrations of thought. Highly sexed people mix the emotion of *** **** their thoughts, or may do so at will, and in that way, may influence those around them.

5. Body adornment. People who are highly sexed are usually very careful about their personal appearance. They usually select clothing of a style becoming to their personality, physique, complexion, etc.

When employing salesmen, the more capable sales manager looks for the quality of personal magnetism as the first requirement of a salesman. People who lack sex energy will never become enthusiastic nor inspire others with enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is one of the most important requisites in salesmanship, no matter what one is selling.

The public speaker, orator, preacher, lawyer, or salesman who is lacking in sex energy is a "flop" as far as being able to influence others is concerned. Couple with this the fact that most people can be influenced only through an appeal to their emotions, and you will understand the importance of sex energy as a part of the salesman's native ability. Master salesmen attain the status of mastery in selling because they either consciously or unconsciously transmute the energy of sex into sales enthusiasm! In this statement may be found a very practical suggestion as to the actual meaning of sex transmutation.

The salesman who knows how to take his mind off the subject of sex, and direct it in sales effort with as much enthusiasm and determination as he would apply to its original purpose, has acquired the art of sex transmutation, whether he knows it or not. The majority of salesmen who transmute their sex energy do so without being in the least aware of what they are doing, or how they are doing it.

Transmutation of sex energy calls for more will-power than the average person cares to use for this purpose. Those who find it difficult to summon will-power sufficient for transmutation may gradually acquire this ability. Though this requires will-power, the reward for the practice is more than worth the effort.

History is not lacking in examples of men who attained to the status of genius, as the result of the use of artificial mind stimulants in the form of alcohol and narcotics. Edgar Allan Poe wrote "The Raven" while under the influence of liquor, "dreaming dreams that mortal never dared to dream before." James Whitcomb did Riley did his
best writing while under the influence of alcohol. Perhaps it was thus he saw "the ordered intermingling of the real and the dream , the mill above the river and the mist above the stream. 'For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for Auld Lang Syne."

But let it be remembered that many such men have destroyed themselves in the end. Nature has prepared her own potions with which men may safely stimulate their minds to tune into fine and rare thoughts which come from - no man knows where. Not satisfactory substitute for nature's stimulants has ever been found.

It is a fact well known to psychologists that there is a very close relationship between sex desires and spiritual urges- a fact which accounts for the peculiar behavior of people, who participate in the orgies known as religious "revivals," common among the primitive types.

The world is ruled, and the destiny of civilization is established, by the human emotions. People are influenced in their actions, not by reason so much as by "feelings." The creative faculty of the mind is set into action entirely by emotions, and not by cold reason. The most powerful of all human emotions is that of sex. There are other mind stimulants , some of which have been listed, but no one of them, nor all of hem combined, can equal the driving power of sex.

A mind stimulant is any influence which will either temporarily, or permanently, increase the intensity of thought. The ten major stimulants described are those most commonly resorted to. Through these sources one may commune with Infinite Intelligence, or enter, at will, the storehouse of the subconscious mind, either one's own, or that of another person, a procedure which is all there is of genius.

I discovered, from the analysis of over 25,000 people, that men who succeed in and outstanding ways, seldom do so before the age of forty, and more often they do not strike their real pace until they are well beyond the age of fifty. This fact was so astounding that is prompted me to go into the study of its cause most carefully.

This study disclosed the fact that the major reason why the majority of men who succeed do not begin to do so before
the age of forty to fifity, is their tendency to dissipate their energies through over-indulgence in physical expression of the motion of sex. The majority of men never learn that the urge of sex has other possibilities, which far transcend in importance that of mere physical expression. The majority of those who make this discovery, do so after having wasted many years at a period when the sex energy is at its height, prior to the age of forty-five to fifty. This usually is followed by noteworthy achievement.

The lives of many men up to, and sometimes well past the age of forty, reflect a continued dissipation of energies, which could have been more profitably turned into better channels. Their finer and more powerful emotions are sown wildly to the four winds. Out of this habit of the male grew the term "sowing his wild oats."

The desire for sexual expression is by far the strongest and most impelling of all the human emotions, and for this very reason this desire, when harnessed and transmuted into action, other than that of physical expression, may raise one to great accomplishment.

The pages of history are filled with the records of great leaders whose achievements may be traced directly to the influence of women who aroused the creative faculties of their minds, through the stimulation of sex desire. Napoleon Bonaparte was one of these. When inspired by his first wife, Josephine, he was irresistible and invincible. When his "better judgment " or reasoning faculty prompted him to put Josephine aside, he began to decline. His defeat and St. Helen were not far distant.

If good taste would permit, we might easily mention scores of men, well known to the American people, who climbed to great heights of achievement under the stimulating influence of their wives, only to drop back to destruction after money and power went to their heads, and they put aside the old wife for a new one. Napoleon was not the only man to discover that sex influence, from the right source, is more powerful than any substitute of expediency, which may be created by mere reason.

The human mind responds to stimulation!

Among the greatest, and most powerful of these stimuli is the urge of sex. When harnessed and transmuted, this driving force is capable of lifting men into that higher sphere of thought which enables them to master the sources of worry and petty annoyance which beset their pathway on the lower plane.

For the purpose of refreshing the memory, in connection with the facts available from the biographies of certain men, we here present the names of a few men of outstanding achievement, each of whom was known to have been of a highly sexed nature. The genius which was theirs undoubtedly found its source of power in transmuted energy:

GEORGE WASHINGTON THOMAS JEFFERSON
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE ELLBERT HUBBARD
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE ELBERT H. GARY
ABRAHAM LINCOLN WOODROW WILSON
RALPH WALDO EMERSON JOHN H. PATTERSON
ROBET BURNS ANDREW JACKSON
ENRICO CARUSO

Your own knowledge of biography will enable you to add to this list. Find, if you can, a single man, in all history of civilization, who achieved outstanding success in any calling, who was not driven by a well developed sex nature.

If you do not wish to rely upon biographies of men not now living, take inventory of those whom you know to be men of great achievement, and see if you can find one among them who is not highly sexed.

Sex energy is the creative energy of all geniuses. There never has been, and never will be a great leader, builder, or artist lacking in this driving force of sex.

Surely no one will misunderstand these statements to mean that all who are highly sexed are geniuses. Man attains to the status of a genius only when, and if, he stimulates his mind so that it draws upon the forces available through the creative faculty of the imagination. Chief among the stimuli with which this "stepping up" may be produced is sex energy. The mere possession of this energy is not sufficient to produce a genius. The energy must be transmuted from desire for physical contact, into some other form of desire or action, before it will lift one to the status of a genius.

Far from becoming geniuses because of great sex desires, the majority of men lower themselves, through misunderstanding and misuse of the great force, to the status of the lower animals.
