Introduction

I always loved the first day of a new school year: the fresh pencil erasers, notebooks with sheet after sheet of blank paper, the possibility and purpose and preparedness of it all. Even as I got older, poring over course descriptions in the college catalog was a favorite pastime. You could practically feel your brain expanding with the exposure to new ideas, with the anticipation of challenging goals being set and met.

So, trolling through the works of early New Thought author Henry Thomas Hamblin, I was delighted to find just such a course description:

THE objects of this course are: (1) To alter your mental attitude, and (2) To direct your thoughts into those channels which lead to success, achievement, health, happiness and perfect good; (3) The arousing of the inward POWER, and (4) The overcoming of bad habits; (5) The building up of character, and (6) The discovery and development of the creative faculty.

Oh joy! I am a true nerd. But you don't have to love school to get into these lessonsinner power, strong character, creativity. These aren't school lessons, they're life lessons, and even though this textbook is almost a hundred years old (and has its delicious old-time quirks), it feels fresh, a reminder of how timeless the basics of meditation and thought-creation are.

I could feel the mental shopping trip begin for my twelve-week course. I would need imagination, affirmations, heightened consciousness, hope, determination, cheerfulness, and a few quiet moments to set aside each day. I decided to take it a month at a time, to have time to stop and evaluate before moving on. So that's what I've done hereoffering up the first four lessons of the whole twelve on their own. A month at a time, with more to come.

The greatest gift of these lessons is Hamblin himself, like that teacher you will always remember whose voice comes into your head at just the right moment, saying just the right thing. His relentless positivity and passion shines through again and again, with this essential reminder: to go forward with joyyou can never fail.

MINA PARKER

Henry Thomas Hamblin was a New Thought writer, a mystic, and the founder of The Science of Thought Review (a magazine still published today under the name New Vision). Born into a poor family, Hamblin worked hard to become a successful businessman. His success, however, never caused him happiness, and he waged a constant inner battle between his businessman self and his mystic self. After years of depression followed by the tragic death of his son, Hamblin left behind the world of business to find answers from his visionary experiences with a Divine Presence. Hamblin's work continues today through the Hamblin Trust.

Introduction: THINGS TO OBSERVE

Do not worry because you cannot follow the course exactly to the letter. Do what you can of it, adapt it to your life, and do the best you can in present circumstances.

The principal thing is to get twice daily into what is called the Silence, to quieten the senses, and get in touch with the Unseen, i.e., God, Divine Mind, the Infinite, Principle of Good, First Cause, the Absolute, the name does not matter, they all mean the same.

Another vital thing is to use affirmations and denials, these will be explained more fully later.

Yet another is meditation, for you gradually grow into the likeness of that upon which you meditate.

Still another is visualizing. Always visualize the good, the beautiful, and true, and your life will reflect these things. Incidentally, the practice of visualization greatly increases one's powers of concentration.

Also while you are receiving this course and for some time after, refrain from all hazardous speculation. Do not launch out in business without sufficient capital and then expect everything to turn out all right. Instead wait until the way is made clear. Guidance and help will come in time, therefore do not try to force things.

Remember that although as soon as you start right thinking, you begin to build up your life, yet it takes time to manifest. At first things may seem to be worse, if so keep on and they will soon settle down. You cannot fail in the long run if you will persist and persevere.

I want you to realize:

That within you are infinite power and possibilities.

That the inward Power can be aroused and brought into expression by holding high ideals in the mind and by affirmations and meditation.

That it is necessary to spend a short time in the Unseen both night and morning.

That by so doing you can enter a super-conscious realm where your word is creative.

That what you speak comes to pass, that what you mentally picture must come true.

That it is only by following high ideals that true success can be achieved.

Therefore, picture a higher life--the highest you can conceive, and affirm that it is yours. Remember that this higher life is without sickness, disease, forward with joy--you can never fail.

Success and Character Building: PART I

THE objects of this course are: (1) To alter your mental attitude, and (2) To direct your thoughts into those channels which lead to success, achievement, health, happiness and perfect good; (3) The arousing of the inward POWER, and (4) The overcoming of bad habits; (5) The building up of character, and (6) The discovery and development of the creative faculty.

How these are accomplished will be explained to you in their proper place and at the proper time, but first of all I want you to consider, thoughtfully, what is before you. It is not exactly an easy road which you have chosen. No path that leads upward ever is. The path of victory is always thorny; but when the thorns hurt the feet most, we can console ourselves with the thought that the path really does lead somewhere, and we know definitely that it leads to Success, Achievement, Happiness and Satisfaction. Difficulties there will be, disappointments, failures and set-backs, but to him who sets his face towards the light, and will keep steadily onward, there must come success and accomplishment and victory, above all expectation.

If now you merely read this and pass on, the amount of good that it will do you will be none at all. This course is useless if you do not do it, reading it will do you little or no good, it is the doing of it that will change your character and your life.

Therefore, stop now and think carefully over the path that lies before you; estimate its difficulties, do not think lightly of them, be prepared for difficulty, and make up your mind, here and now, to conquer.

You may have failed in the past, but this time you must, you will, and you shall overcome every difficulty and weakness, and achieve dominion over yourself, victory over your circumstances and complete control over your life.

THERE MUST AND SHALL BE NO FAILURE THIS TIME. THIS TIME YOU ARE GOING TO SUCCEED THROUGH THE POWER THAT IS WITHIN YOU.

Now close your eyes, and mentally picture yourself, radiant, strong, successful, happy, full of the joy and zest of life. See yourself treading a path that leads ever upwards. Behind you the air is murky and gloomy, but in front is increasing brightness and loveliness. See yourself progressing, climbing, winning. See yourself trampling old habits and weaknesses under your feet.
