00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: Partnership next to marriage. Partnership is the most important association

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:14,519
mental partnerships. Be careful whom you choose as your mental partners.

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,359
Get into partnership with the best thoughts, dissolve partnership with

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:28,600
the other kind. I can, I will, I do, I dare.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,039
Next to marriage, a partnership arrangement is the most important

6
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:41,679
association into which a man or woman may enter. Its

7
00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:47,280
consequences are far reaching and difficult to escape, and to

8
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,280
a very considerable extent, one is bound by the acts

9
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,520
of his partners. This being the case, it is of

10
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,799
the utmost importance that one should exercise the great diligence

11
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:06,879
and care in selecting partners. If any of my readers

12
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:11,840
were to contemplate entering into a partnership agreement with others,

13
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,840
he would be sure to select those who were possessed

14
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:21,239
of the most desirable qualities and those most conducive to success.

15
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:29,959
He would carefully avoid those possessed of lack of confidence, fear, worry, discouragement,

16
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:35,519
and others of the I can't class. He would seek

17
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:41,040
out the courageous, confident, I can and I will men.

18
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:49,840
He would keep away from those in whom hate, malice, jealousy, envy, bigotry,

19
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:55,840
and other traits of ignorance were strongly manifest. He would,

20
00:01:55,959 --> 00:02:00,519
in short, choose those who possessed, to the greatest possible degree,

21
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:05,640
the qualities most conducive to success, and would as carefully

22
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,400
avoid those possessed of opposite qualities. There is no doubt

23
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:15,159
of the truth of what I have just said. Every

24
00:02:15,159 --> 00:02:20,120
one of you will admit it. Now. I do not

25
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:25,000
purpose telling you about business partnerships of the ordinary kind.

26
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:29,520
You know all about those. But I will call your

27
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,159
attention to the fact that you are every day forming

28
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,840
partnerships of a most important character, and far reaching in

29
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,599
their effects, but of which you probably have been unaware.

30
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,039
When your attention is once called to the matter, many

31
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,199
things will seem clear to you that have heretofore appeared

32
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,400
quite dark, and you will be able to avoid mistakes

33
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:02,439
in the future that have been quite common in the past.

34
00:03:03,039 --> 00:03:07,479
This is an important lesson, and I trust that you

35
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,759
will give heed to what I say. I have stated

36
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,439
in previous articles that your mind is a mighty magnet,

37
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,919
attracting to itself the thoughts emanating from the minds of others.

38
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:27,280
Like attracts like in the world of thought, and the

39
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:31,280
prevailing character of your thoughts will be manifested in the

40
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,039
character of thought waves drawn to you from the great

41
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,680
ocean of thought. Your thought mingles and colesses with thoughts

42
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,680
of a corresponding nature send out from the minds of others,

43
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,000
and both you and the other senders are strengthened in

44
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,360
the mental attitude by reason of the joining of forces.

45
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,759
You are entering into a mental partnership with those unknown thinkers,

46
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:02,879
and at tracking them to you, and you to them.

47
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:08,719
Why do birds of a feather flock together in business

48
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,400
and everyday life, simply because they are irresistibly drawn to

49
00:04:14,479 --> 00:04:18,519
each other by the law of mental attraction. The people

50
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,279
with whom you are brought in contact are those of

51
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,759
the same mental key as yourself. You may not agree

52
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,680
with this statement, but a close analysis will prove it.

53
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,519
The pushing, hustling, wide awake man will attract to himself

54
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:40,800
thought partners of the same stamp, while the man who

55
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:45,399
is afraid is always sure to find himself surrounded by

56
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,160
people having the same defects. And not only is this

57
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,959
true in the sense that the law brings you into

58
00:04:53,079 --> 00:04:56,839
actual contact with people of the same mental key, but

59
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,360
you are connecting yourself with hundreds of others who are

60
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,879
thinking along the same lines. Although you may never actually

61
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:10,439
come in physical contact with these people, you are going

62
00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:14,319
into partnership with them and will share in the firms

63
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:18,160
profits and losses, just as you would in case of

64
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:23,279
an ordinary business partnership, and it is easy to foretell

65
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,879
upon just what side of the firm. Letger the balance

66
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:32,560
will appear. When you approach a man on business with

67
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,000
your mind ladened with thoughts of fear, lack of confidence, etc.

68
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,120
You strike a similar keynote in that man, and he

69
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:46,680
instinctively feels that he has no confidence in you or

70
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,959
your business. And if he is a man who is

71
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,439
predominant to note his courage, he will feel the in

72
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,399
harmony and get rid of you as soon as he can. If,

73
00:05:58,519 --> 00:06:02,920
on the contrary, he is also I can't man, he

74
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,519
will feel a fellow feeling for you, but it will

75
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,399
do you no good. It will be a case of

76
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:13,720
misery love's company. And the first thing you know, you

77
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:17,759
will find yourself and that man in an earnest conversation

78
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,079
about dull times, poor crops. The country is going to

79
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,360
the dogs. No chance for a man. Nowadays we are

80
00:06:27,399 --> 00:06:30,920
all going to the poor house, et cetera, et cetera.

81
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,720
I've seen it happen many a time, haven't you. But

82
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,240
if you are an I can and I will man

83
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,360
and he is the same. See how different things are.

84
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,199
He will warm up to you and will feel that

85
00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:52,399
he understands you, and sooner or later you and he

86
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,959
will do business with each other. In fact, the arrangement

87
00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:01,439
is begun with your first meeting. If you can get

88
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,839
yourself in something like the same mental attitude of a

89
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,920
man with whom you wish to do business, you will

90
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:13,560
get along with him. Never fear. When you have something

91
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:16,920
in mind upon which you are working and you are

92
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:21,040
at the same time maintaining the proper mental attitude, you

93
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,480
are placing yourself in psychic touch with every other man

94
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,680
in the same line who is holding the same mental attitude.

95
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,120
You drew an inspiration from them, and both parties to

96
00:07:34,199 --> 00:07:38,839
the mental partnership, share in the profits. Both will share

97
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,240
to a certain extent in each other's progress, and both

98
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:46,920
will draw largely from the mental stock of those who

99
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:51,000
are working along the same lines, but who are holding

100
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:55,000
a negative mental attitude. In fact, the whole store of

101
00:07:55,079 --> 00:07:59,120
knowledge and progress along those lines will be tapped by

102
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:07,680
these partners holding the positive mental attitude, new plans, ideas, combinations, schemes,

103
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:12,240
devices will spring into being in their minds, and they

104
00:08:12,279 --> 00:08:15,680
will not only help each other, but will draw upon

105
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,120
the less positive people. This seems a hard law, but

106
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,759
it is, like all of nature's laws, so severe that

107
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,399
we are forced sooner or later to learn the lesson

108
00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:34,360
we learn by experience. Only. This operation of law of

109
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,080
mental attraction is a good example of one of the

110
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,639
meanings of that saying, so dark to many, to him

111
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:46,399
that hath shall be given to him, that hath not

112
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,480
shall be taken away, even that which he hath at

113
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:56,960
any rate. That is the way the law works. And

114
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,799
it is not only in the matter of success that

115
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:06,799
this mental partnership works. Its operations are manifest everywhere. You

116
00:09:06,919 --> 00:09:13,440
will notice that the negative emotions drow to themselves people, thoughts,

117
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,000
and things upon which they can feed. Let a man

118
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,759
or woman manifest jealousy, and lo, as if from the

119
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,000
earth spring apparent causes for that jealous feeling, all sorts

120
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,039
of things seem to conspire to feed the green eyed

121
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:36,600
monster into a state of fatness. And let a man

122
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,720
or woman get a notion that people are trying to

123
00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,919
slight them. And let them continue to hold this thought,

124
00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:47,799
and it will soon seem to the poor victim of

125
00:09:47,879 --> 00:09:52,360
fear thought as if everybody in the world was determined

126
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,840
to snub, slight and tread upon him and hurt his feelings.

127
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,279
If he persists in this attitude, life will become a

128
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,480
burden too heavy to bear, and there will be no

129
00:10:07,759 --> 00:10:12,039
possible relief for him except a change of mental front.

130
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:16,639
Let one imagine that everyone is trying to cheat him,

131
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,320
and he will be a lucky man if he does

132
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,519
not find that the things he feared have come upon him.

133
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Let a man cherish thoughts of hate and malice, and

134
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,480
sooner or later he will become involved in all sorts

135
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:36,840
of hateful, malicious schemes and occurrences with his partners whom

136
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:40,399
he has drawn to him. He who lives by the

137
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,639
sword shall die by the sword. Is proven every day.

138
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600
He who thinks every man is a rogue will see

139
00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:52,879
enough rogues to justify him in his belief, and will

140
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:56,320
probably end up by having people think of him as

141
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,840
a rogue. He will draw all sorts of roguish people, things,

142
00:11:00,879 --> 00:11:06,159
and circumstances to him. Did you ever start in the

143
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,960
morning feeling cross and crabbed. Well, if you did, you

144
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,480
probably found that, after the inevitable domestic row over the

145
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:20,159
buckwheat cakes and coffee, after you had left your wife

146
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,399
with tears in her eyes and the children in good

147
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,240
shape to get into trouble in school, that everyone seems

148
00:11:29,279 --> 00:11:32,679
to have it in for you. Some fellow in the

149
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:37,120
train seemed to deliberately tread on your pet corn, another

150
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:42,559
jostled you, and so on. When you got down to business,

151
00:11:42,639 --> 00:11:46,840
everything went wrong, and unless you brought yourself up with

152
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:49,799
a short turn, you had a dreadful time of it

153
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,039
all day, and were glad when night came that you

154
00:11:54,159 --> 00:11:58,080
might sleep it off. You will always find that there

155
00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:02,159
are plenty of people way to go into mental partnership

156
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,799
with you. In such cases, if you are looking for

157
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:10,600
a fight, you will get it. I tell you friends,

158
00:12:10,919 --> 00:12:14,960
that people are all more or less in psychic touch

159
00:12:15,159 --> 00:12:19,000
with each other, and the sooner we recognize this fact,

160
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,639
the better it will be for us. This law of

161
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,039
mental attraction works either good or bad for us, according

162
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,320
to the uses we make of it. If we run

163
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,360
contrary to the law, we will be taught lesson after lesson,

164
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,960
until we learn something. But if we fall in with

165
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:43,440
the workings of the law, we will reap the benefits

166
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:47,360
that come to man when he masters and controls any

167
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:54,720
of nature's great forces. Now, don't make partnerships of an

168
00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:59,399
undesirable kind. If you do, you will have to bear

169
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,240
the consequitquence. If you have already formed such a partnership,

170
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,879
to dissolve it at once and go into liquidation. After

171
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,159
a while you will have cleared up the old debts

172
00:13:12,639 --> 00:13:16,480
and straightened matters out, and will begin to do business

173
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,320
on another basis. And I want to tell you right

174
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,240
here that you can get into the best mental firms

175
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,519
in the world if you only go about it right.

176
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,120
They will not object to you if you are a

177
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,960
fit member, and in fact, they could not keep you

178
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,240
out even if they wished. The doors will open at

179
00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:42,879
the magic touch of the spoken word, packed up by

180
00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:48,240
the proper mental attitude, cut loose from the old thought associations,

181
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,759
and form new connections. Get in touch with the right

182
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:58,200
kind of thought, waves, people and things, cultivate the proper

183
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,399
mental attitude and an entrance to the firm you wish.

184
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,799
Good men are scarce in all branches of business, trades

185
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,840
and professions. There's room for you away up at the

186
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:15,879
top too. Get what belongs to you. Do not be

187
00:14:16,039 --> 00:14:21,000
cheated out of your heritage. Assert yourself. Join to day

188
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,000
that good hustling firm whose name on the sign board

189
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,840
reads I can, I will, I do, I dare
