Inspiring an illuminating

Sweetland offers a new angle on the metaphysical truth that happiness is a life-long journey that comes from creating, and not a state to aspire to in the future. In other words, what we do now and how we look at life now make us happy. He explains that the "I CAN" consciousness must be infused with the "I WILL" determination and developed through a plan of action, in order to reach our goals. Success is thus not a destination but a journey, from station to station. He lists the main reasons for unhappiness as a guilty conscience, self-pity, envy, selfishness, timidity, worry and the absence of a spiritual consciousness. He discusses the role of the subconscious mind and how it is activated by enthusiasm and explains how the subconscious follows the pattern established by the conscious mind. He throws light on the difference between potential and kinetic energy and the law of cause and effect and emphasizes that one must visualize in order to materialize. With deep psychological insight and in an informal, engaging style, he brings across the common sense and the ancient truths that we all carry within ourselves, for example that happiness comes from giving happiness. The last chapter contains specific formulas for specific objectives, i.e. affirmations for inter alia better health, domestic harmony, concentration, overcoming habits, public speaking, self-mastery, etc. This is one of the best motivational books I have read, positively inspiring and illuminating.
