IT WORKS

By R. H. Jarrett

If you KNOW what you WANT you can HAVE IT

A concise, definite, resultful plan with rules, explanations and

suggestions for bettering your condition in life.

What is the Real Secret of Obtaining Desirable

Possessions?

ARE some people born under a lucky star or other

charm which enables them to have all that which

seems so desirable, and if not, what is the cause of the

difference in conditions under which men live?

Many years ago, feeling that there must be a logical

answer to this question, I decided to find out, if

possible, what it was. I found the answer to my own

4

satisfaction, and for years, have given the information

to others who have used it successfully.

From a scientific, psychological or theological

viewpoint, some of the following statements may be

interpreted as incorrect, but nevertheless, the plan has

brought the results desired to those who have

followed the simple instructions, and it is my sincere

belief that I am now presenting it in a way which will

bring happiness and possessions to many more.

“IF wishes were horses, beggars would ride,” is the

attitude taken by the average man and woman in

regard to possessions. They are not aware of a power

so near that it is overlooked; so simple in operation

that it is difficult to conceive; and so sure in results

that it is not made use of consciously, or recognized

as the cause of failure or success.

“GEE, I wish that were mine,” is the outburst of

Jimmy, the office boy, as a new red roadster goes by;

and Florence, the telephone operator, expresses the

same thought regarding a ring in the jeweler’s

window; while poor old Jones, the bookkeeper,

during the Sunday stroll, replies to his wife, “Yes,

dear, it would be nice to have a home like that, but it

is out of the question. We will have to continue to

rent.” Landem, the salesman, protests that he does all

the work, gets the short end of the money and will

some day quit his job and find a real one, and

5

President Bondum, in his private sanctorum, voices a

bitter tirade against the annual attack of hay-fever.

At home it is much the same. Last evening, father

declared that daughter Mabel was headed straight for

disaster, and today, mother’s allowance problem and

other trying affairs fade into insignificance as she

exclaims, “This is the last straw. Robert’s school

teacher wants to see me this afternoon. His reports are

terrible, I know, but I’m late for Bridge now. She’ll

have to wait until tomorrow.” So goes the endless

stream of expressions like these from millions of

people in all classes who give no thought to what they

really want,

and who are getting all they are entitled to or

expect.

If you are one of these millions of thoughtless talkers

or wishers and would like a decided change from

your present condition, you can have it, but first of all

you must know what you want and this is no easy

task. When you can train your

objective mind (the

mind you use every day) to decide definitely upon

the things or conditions you desire, you will have

taken your first big step in accomplishing or securing

what you know you want.

To get what you want is no more mysterious or

uncertain than the radio waves all around you. Tune

in correctly and you get a perfect result, but to do this,

6

it is, of course, necessary to know something of your

equipment and have a plan of operation.

You have within you a

mighty power, anxious and

willing to serve you, a power capable of giving you thatwhich you earnestly desire

. This power is described by

Thomson Jay Hudson, Ph.D., LL.D., author of “The

Law of Psychic Phenomena,” as your subjective mind.

Other learned writers use different names and terms,

but all agree that it is omnipotent. Therefore, I call this

Power “Emmanuel” (God in us).

Regardless of the name of this Great Power, or the

conscious admission of a God, the Power is

capableand willing to carry to a complete and perfect

conclusion every earnest desire of your objective

mind, but you must be really in earnest about what

you want.

Occasional wishing or half-hearted wanting does not

form a perfect connection or communication with

your omnipotent power. You must be in earnest,

sincerely and truthfully desiring certain conditions or

things — mental, physical or spiritual.

Your objective mind and will are so vacillating that you

usually only WISH for things and the wonderful, capable

power within you does not function.

7

Most wishes are simply vocal expressions. Jimmy, the

office boy, gave no thought of possessing the red

roadster. Landem, the salesman, was not thinking of

any other job or even thinking at all. President

Bondum knew he had hay fever and was expecting it.

Father’s business was quite likely successful and

mother no doubt brought home first prize from the

bridge party that day, but they had no fixed idea of

what they really wanted their children to accomplish

and were actually helping to bring about the unhappy

conditions which existed.

If you are in earnest about changing your present

condition, here is a concise, definite, resultful plan,

with rules, explanations and suggestions.

The Plan

WRITE down on paper in order of their importance

the things and conditions you really want. Do not be

afraid of wanting too much. Go the limit in writing

down your wants. Change the list daily, adding to or

taking from it, until you have it about right. Do not be

discouraged on account of changes, as this is natural.

There will always be changes and additions with

accomplishments and increasing desires.

Three Positive Rules Of Accomplishment

8

1. Read the list of what you want three times each

day: morning, noon and night.

2. Think of what you want as often as possible.

3. Do not talk to any one about your plan except to

the Great Power within you which will unfold to

your Objective Mind the method of accomplishment.

It is obvious that you cannot acquire faith at the start.

Some of your desires, from all practical reasoning,

may seem positively unattainable, but, nevertheless,

write them down on your list in their proper place of

importance to you.

There is no need to analyze how this Power within

you is going to accomplish your desires. Such a

procedure is as unnecessary as trying to figure out

why a grain of corn placed in fertile soil shoots up a

green stalk, blossoms and produces an ear of corn

containing hundreds of grains, each capable of doing

what the one grain did. If you will follow this definite

plan and carry out the three simple rules, the method

of accomplishment will unfold quite as mysteriously

as the ear of corn appears on the stalk, and in most

cases much sooner than you expect.

When new desires, deserving position at or about the

top of your list, come to you, then you may rest

assured you are progressing correctly.

9

Removing from your list items which at first you

thought you wanted, is another sure indication of

progress.

It is natural to be skeptical and have doubts, distrust

and questionings, but when these thoughts arise, get

out your list. Read it over; or if you have it

memorized, talk to your inner self about your desires

until the doubts that interfere with your progress are

gone.

Remember, nothing can prevent your havingthat which. you earnestly desire. Others have these

things. Why not you?

The Omnipotent Power within YOU does not enter

into any controversial argument. It is waiting and

willing to serve when you are ready

, but your

objective mind is so susceptible to suggestion that it is

almost impossible to make any satisfactory progress

when surrounded by skeptics. Therefore, choose your

friends carefully and associate with people who now

have some of the things you really want, but do not

discuss your method of accomplishment with them.

Put down on your list of wants such material things

as money, home, auto- mobile, or whatever it may be,

but do not stop there. Be more definite. If you want an

automobile, decide what kind, style, price, color

, and

all the other details, including when you want it. If

you want a home, plan the structure, grounds and

furnishings.

10

Decide on location and cost. If you want money, write

down the amount. If you want to break a record in

your business, put it down. It may be a sales record. If

so, write out the total, the date required, then the

number of items you must sell to make it, also list

your prospects and put after each name the sum

expected. This may seem very foolish at first, but you

can never realize your desires if you do not know

positively and in detail what you want and when you

want

it. If you can- not decide this, you are not in

earnest, You must be definite, and when you are,

results will be surprising and almost unbelievable.

A natural and ancient enemy will no doubt appear

when you get your first taste of accomplishment. This

enemy is Discredit, in form of such thoughts as: “It

can’t be possible; it just happened to be. What a

remarkable coincidence!”

When such thoughts occur give thanks and assert

credit to your Omnipotent Power for the

accomplishment. By doing this, you gain assurance

and more accomplishment, and in time, prove to

yourself that there is a law, which actually works — at

all times — when you are in tune with it.

Sincere and earnest thanks cannot be given without

gratitude and it is impossible to be thankful and

grateful without being happy. Therefore, when you

are thanking your greatest and best friend, your

11

Omnipotent Power. for the gifts received, do so with

all your soul, and let it be reflected in your face. The

Power and what it does is beyond understanding. Do

not try to understand it, but accept the

accomplishment with thankfulness, happiness, and

strengthened faith.

Caution

It is possible to want and obtain that which will make

you miserable; that which will wreck the happiness of

others; that which will cause sickness and death; that

which will rob you of eternal life. You can have what

you want, but you must take all that goes with it: so

in planning your wants, plan that which you are sure

will give to you and your fellow man the greatest

good here on earth; thus paving the way to that

future hope beyond the pale of human understanding.

This method of securing what you want applies to

everything you are capable of desiring and the scope

being so great it is suggested that your first list consist

only of those things with which you are quite familiar,

such as an amount of money or accomplishment, or

the possession of material things. Such desires as

these are more easily and quickly obtained than the

discontinuance of fixed habits, the welfare of others,

and the healing of mental or bodily ills.

12

Accomplish the lesser things first. Then take the next

step, and when that is accomplished, you will seek

the higher and really important objectives in life, but

long before you reach this stage of your progress,

many worthwhile desires will find their place on your

list. One will be to help others as you have been

helped. Great is the reward to those who help and

give without thought of self, as it is impossible to be

unselfish without gain.

In Conclusion

A short while ago. Dr. Emil Coué came to this country

and showed thousands of people how to help

themselves. Thousands of others spoofed at the idea,

refused his assistance and are today where they were

before his visit.

So with the statements and plan presented to you

now. You can reject or accept. You can remain as you

are or have anything you want

. The choice is yours,

but God grant that you may find in this short volume

the inspiration to choose aright, follow the plan and

thereby obtain, as so many others have, all things,

whatever they may be, that you desire.

Read the entire book over again, and again

, AND

THEN AGAIN.

Memorize the Three Positive Rules of Accomplishment.

13

Test them now on what you want most this minute.

This book could have extended easily over 350 pages,

but it has been deliberately shortened to make it as

easy as possible for you to read, understand and use.

Will you try it? Thousands of bettered lives will

testify to the fact that It Works.

A Letter to You From the Author

Dear Reader:

The great possessions of life are all GIFTS

mysteriously bestowed: sight, hearing, aspiration,

love or life itself.

The same is true of ideas — the richest of them are

given to us, as for instance, the powerful idea which

this book has given you. What are you going to do

with it? Are you surprised when I tell you the most

profitable thing you can do is to give it away?

You can do this in an easy and practical way by

having this book sent to those you know who NEED

IT. In this way, you can help in the distribution of this

worthwhile effort to make the lives of others better

and happier.

You know people who are standing still or who are

worried or discouraged. This is your chance to HELP

THEM HELP THEMSELVES. If you withhold this

14

book from them you will lose the conscious

satisfaction that comes from doing good. If you see

that they get to read this book, then you put yourself

in line with the Law of Life which says, “You get by

giving,” and you may rightly expect prosperity and

achievement.

At the very least you will have the inner sense of

having done a good deed with no hope of being

openly thanked and your reward will come secretly

in added power and larger life.
