He believed the subconscious mind could be trained through belief, suggestion, prayer, and repetition to produce miraculous outcomes in daily life.
“Your subconscious mind is like a fertile garden—whatever you plant in it, it will grow.”
What is the Subconscious Mind?
The subconscious mind is the silent part of your brain that stores habits, beliefs, emotions, memories, and even controls automatic body functions. It:

Doesn’t question your thoughts—it accepts everything as truth.
-
Works 24/7—even when you're asleep.
-
Manifests your dominant beliefs into physical reality.

Key Teachings from the Book

Whatever you consistently believe, think, and feel will eventually show up in your outer world.
2. Visualization and Affirmation
When you imagine something clearly and emotionally, your subconscious begins to believe and act upon it.
3. The Subconscious is Always Listening
Never say negative words or joke about failure—your subconscious takes everything seriously.
