The Way Out

Benner’s book The Way Out—written in 1931—is a textbook on how to use the law of Attraction. He describes the law as follows: “Whatever you think and hold in consciousness as being so, out manifests itself in your body or affairs.”

In other words, the thoughts themselves are but mental forms, but when you think them with feeling of any kind you fill these forms with life and they become as living things which ever return to you, their parent, to be fed with more living power. . . . You can see now that it is all a matter of consciousness, of thinking and harboring the right kind of thoughts you wish to out-manifest, and of letting into your mind no thoughts you do not want to manifest in your body or affairs.

Benner emphasizes to take no thought, or be anxious about anything, that you wish to manifest. He says to “stand guard continually at the door of your mind, and to let in no thoughts or feelings that you do not want to outmanifest. . . . Guard the door from every negative thought.”

If you will keep all such untrue thoughts out of your mind, you can see that then and then only can your Higher Self draw into your mind the true and positive thoughts that will attract to you the good that is waiting to manifest itself to you
