1. HOW TO OUTWIT
THE SIX GHOSTS OF FEAR
Take Inventory of Yourself, As You
Read This Closing Chapter, and Find
Out How Many of the "Ghosts" Are
Standing in Your Way
BEFORE you can put any portion of this philosophy
into successful use, your mind must be prepared to
receive it. The preparation is not difficult. It begins with study,
analysis, and understanding of three enemies which you shall have
to clear out. These are INDECISION, DOUBT, and FEAR!
The Sixth Sense will never function while these three
negatives, or any of them remain in your mind. The members of
this unholy trio are closely related; where one is found, the other
two are close at hand.
INDECISION is the seedling of FEAR! Remember this, as you
read. Indecision crystalizes into DOUBT, the two blend and
become FEAR! The “blending” process often is slow. This is one
reason why these three enemies are so dangerous. They
germinate and grow without their presence being observed.
The remainder of this chapter describes an end which must
be attained before the philosophy, as a whole, can be put into
practical use. It also analyzes a condition which has, but lately,
reduced huge numbers of people to poverty, and it states a truth
which must be understood by all who accumulate riches, whether
measured in terms of money or a state of mind of far greater value
than money. The purpose of this chapter is to turn the spotlight of
attention upon the cause and the cure of the six basic fears. Before
we can master an enemy, we must know its name, its habits, and
its place of abode. As you read, analyze yourself carefully, and
determine which, if any, of the six common fears have attached
themselves to you.
Do not be deceived by the habits of these subtle
enemies. Sometimes they remain hidden in the subconscious
mind, where they are difficult to locate, and still more difficult to
eliminate.
