CHAPTER 15
How To Outwit The Six Ghosts Of Fear
This I find is the most challenging chapter in the Book, there are so many things that come in from the past as different ghosts. I did not realize there were so many in my past from five marriages and affairs. What I do now realize is that the three enemies of Doubt, Indecision and Fear have governed my life for so long, along with the 6 major fears so well listed and explained in detail.
All of these need to be dealt with and replaced with positive emotions of courage, decision, definite action and the removal of worrying about what people think of me and their criticisms of my dreams, desires and plans.
I still have to complete the self analysis in detail but the brief analysis has taught me so much about myself and the problems and negativity in my life which has held me back in achieving goals and desires. To long I have been swayed by the requirements of others and trying to please them. Their negative attitudes have caused me to abandon a number of dreams, whereas if I had continued with a positive attitude and sought out people who were successful in the same or similar fields.
I found it interesting that Hill states that Indecision crystallizes into Doubt the blend in turn results in 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. I can see how these three have affected my life because I have not realized their presence and their total overall influence on a person’s life.
Hill tells us that ‘Nature has endowed man with absolute control over but one thing, and that is THOUGHT. This fact, coupled with the additional fact that everything which man creates, begins in the form of a thought, leads one very near to the principle by which FEAR may be mastered.
If it is true that ALL THOUGHT HAS A TENDENCY TO CLOTHE ITSELF IN ITS PHYSICAL EQUIVALENT (and this is true, beyond any reasonable room for doubt), it is equally true that thought impulses of fear and poverty cannot be translated into terms of courage and financial gain’.
A further fact is that the There can be no compromise between POVERTY and RICHES! The two roads that lead to poverty and riches travel in opposite directions. If you want riches, you must refuse to accept any circumstance that leads toward poverty. (The word “riches” is here used in its broadest sense, meaning financial, spiritual, mental and material estates). The starting point of the path that leads to riches is DESIRE. In chapter one, you received full instructions for the proper use of DESIRE. In this chapter, on FEAR, you have complete instructions for preparing your mind to make practical use of DESIRE.
I do not accept poverty therefore I demand the riches that I deserve, the only thing I have to do it determine the monetary value. However I still have to avoid one more thing even more destructive than the six fears already exposed this is the seventh evil, it is more subtle than the others and deeply rooted in the subconscious mind. IT IS MORE DEEPLY SEATED AND MORE OFTEN FATAL THAN ALL OF THE SIX FEARS. For want of a better name, let us call this evil SUSCEPTIBILITY TO NEGATIVE INFLUENCES.
This is the one thing I have the greatest difficulty in overcoming, I have made a start by changing my environment from completely negative to a positive environment free of criticism in which I invite only positive thoughts, dreams and desires coupled with a Master Mind Group of successful people.
