How This Book Will
Enrich Your Life
A few years ago, I had lost everything. My two sons had been taken away from me—and, for a woman, you know that can be the utmost shame, misery, despair. I was in the depths of alcoholism/pep pill addiction. 1 was divorced, broke, jobless and frightened beyond belief. As a Southern “lady” 1 had been raised to expect so very much of myself, and I had lived up to those expecta tions to a point: home, family, community esteem, etc. I had even added the ingredient of a career as a radio and television personality and fashion model. But suddenly, it was all gone, and so were my hopes and all my self-respect.
Once I fully understood those ideas and principles set forth in this book, my whole life took a full 180 degree turn. I gained back all I thought I had lost, and then some. My self-respect returned, and with it came self-understanding and an enormous amount of strength and personal power. Just as suddenly as I had felt I lost it all, 1 began to walk with the winners and to know what it’s like to be on the positive side of Life . . . filled with a happy expectancy every day, every moment!
Today, I am a successful writer, lecturer, broadcaster, poet, teacher and editor. Today I have goals I would never have dared to dream before, and I literally live on the pinnacle of success and achievement. My lifestyle is one of freedom and integrity. My health, my affairs, my finances are all in perfect harmony with my needs, direction and expectancy.
How this came about is an exciting and dramatic story. It has to do with my learning how to use—and using—the Laws of the Mind, principles that have been taught for centuries by the greatest teachers and philosophers in the world. These principles have been taught in many ways: by Jesus of Nazareth in His parables; by the Greek philosophers, such as Socrates and Plato in their writings; by a host of great artists in their paintings and sculpture. These Truths are couched in many different symbols and phrases, and many of us are quite familiar with therfi but do not truly know what they mean.
We think we do, but until they are incorporated into our lives, and our lives WORK for us, we do not really understand them.
I have chosen to express these Truths in the way I finally began to understand them. And I call the understanding, “Metabionics.” I have selected the word by building on the meaning of “meta,” or “beyond,” “bio” for “life,” and “ionics,” for electronic particles which make up the waves, or electronic frequencies of con sciousness. Because of my background in radio and television, because of my strong religious background and extensive study of the religions of the world, and because of my lifelong interest in that which we have called “esoteric” or “occult,” I had to see the whole picture, or pattern behind the life process.
Man—you and I—are a synergy of mind, body and spirit. We’re a whole unit of “self’ operating within a larger whole or Universe. Said another way, we are a metabionic unit or microcosm, operating within a larger metabionic unit or macrocosm. We’re each just a little bit of God operating within God the total, and it’s all understood, controlled, perfected and kept in balance and harmony by the MIND.
Life is a mind game!
I’ve grown to love this definition of life: Life is a three- dimensional low-frequency dream sequence controlled in its entire ty by the moods and perceptions of the individual.
And: You are an expectation of Life. You—each of us—is an idea in the Mind of God, which has manifested itself in this, the three-dimensional world. And—created as we are in His image and likeness, just a little lower than the Angels—we create what we “ex pect” or have a strong idea about. Our “expectations” become our “experiences.”
Almost everyone of us is familiar with the Divine injunction, “Ask and ye shall receive . . . seek and ye shall find . . . knock and it shall be opened unto you.”
Metaphysics, religion, the occult and arcane studies, and psychology have many answers for mankind, tying in the Power of positive thinking, personal polarity and the dynamics of choice. Metabionics goes beyond all that, “getting it all together” for the evolving mind, for the individual jaded by the fast-moving technological and money-oriented world we find about us today.
How This Book Will Enrich Your Life 9 Metabionics offers the newest, simplest method of asking, seek ing and knocking.
Because Metabionics has made magic in my life, brought miracles into my life, I guess I talk about it, write about it, think about it, praise it all the time! I teach it in my home, 1 teach it every chance I get, I lecture on it, I do workshops and seminars on it. I even give what I hope are highly entertaining keynote speeches at conventions and other social gatherings about it. I try to get my licks in whenever and wherever I can because it has meant, and means, so very much to me.
This is the subject matter of the future. In time, every school will have classes in Cosmic Consciousness, tapping the Source, and the electronic attributes of the brain. Meditation will be a natural part of everyone’s life, used in conjunction with the medical field, recrea tional work and even corporate functions. I foresee—and I’m not the only one—a whole new era of meditation rooms available for the individual: in his home, school, church or place of business.
In this book I have featured as many actual case histories, stories of real people who have changed their lives with Metabionics, as I could. Many are students, many are friends and acquaintances, many are people I’ve interviewed on my radio program, EX PLORATION OF THE OCCULT. Some are people I’ve met through my lectures and workshops. All of them, however, are real. And all of them are just like you and me—average persons who became super-persons by learning how to apply the Laws of the Mind.
The wonders of Metabionics await you—ask for miracles, follow these steps, expect results.

Metabionics Can Attract
Everything You’ve Ever Wanted
Are you tired of never having enough money? Of feeling inade quate to life’s complications? Of feeling unattractive? Of having bouts with illness? Ever wish you could crawl into a hole someplace? Those emotional ups and downs can be rather draining, can’t they?
Are you fed up with problems? Have you begun to view life as a series of downhill experiences leading to old age and death?
If the answer is “yes” to even one or two of those questions, then let me ask you some other questions: Would you enjoy feeling healthy all of the time? Would you like the security of knowing you were nice to look at and that you always had enough money to share and to spare? Would you like the idea of feeling equal to all the decisions you had to make, to all occasions which might arise? Would you like to feel emotionally strong, having full control over your life?
And how about that most beautiful of all feelings—that you were able to love deeply, and be loved in return?
I have a friend, Sally J ., who said to me once, with tears in her eyes, “Just one time in my life I’d like to wake up in the morning feeling rested and full of anticipation for the day ahead!”
And a student of mine, Mike D., who looked to all the world like a man who knew both success and prosperity intimately, said, “I’d like to be a boy again, when bedtime meant being at peace with myself and others. No regrets, no resentments, and no real fear!”
I told both Sally and Mike, and I’m telling you now, that: There is a way.
It can be learned.
You can learn i t . . . and / can teach it!
18 Metabionics Can Attract Everything You’ve Ever Wanted If that sounds a bit braggadoccio, I have to admit that it really is, for all education is really auto-education. We are all—when you get right down to it—self-taught. A good teacher has simply used the knack of sparking with the student that which the student already knows.
DETAILS OF THE TECHNIQUE
AND METHODS FOR USING IT
Every cell in your body has intelligence. Every cell. The cells that make up your body-vehicle operate on a sort of automatic pilot arrangement, which keeps your body functioning (breathing, diges tion, and so on). Even your brain cells operate in this same automatic way until you manually flip the switch that triggers the opening of whole floodgates of information. “Manually” in this case doesn’t mean with your hands, but consciously, or deliberately, and you do this with decision. This is why the great philosopher-poet- sculptor-artist-business wizard Walter Russell once said, “Mediocrity is self-inflicted. Genius is self-bestowed.” How right he was! Each of us decides what we want to become. But, you wonder, how do I go about flipping that switch? How do I decide?
There is a way and that’s what Metabionics is all about. Before we go further, however, I’d like to refer back to what we’ve discussed so far. I’ve made some pretty strong promises about what this book can do and I’ve meant every one of them. I know what this teaching can do, not only because of what it has done for me personally, but for the almost-magical—and often unbelieva ble—results I’ve seen in others. Nevertheless, I feel that this is the moment I wish to make very, very sure you fully understand what this book—this teaching—will not do:
IT WILL NOT DO IT FOR YOU.
I will show you—step-by-step—how to take charge of your life. We can turn it around full-circle, if need be! I will show you how the Cosmic Mind will help you achieve all you’ve ever wanted, ever dreamed about. Patiently, slowly, with openness and honesty, I will teach you those steps which brought me freedom, success and perfect health, when my life had become a shambles of debt, despair and discouragement.
I will show you how it is done, but I cannot—even if I tried— do it for you. I don’t need to—the great Universal Source, Meta bionics, will be at your command.
How I’ve wanted to do it for my own sons! For my family, my friends and those who have become both my family and my friends—my students! Each time I feel myself wanting to do it for someone else, I have to bring myself up short with a reminder: Ann, you know that’s not the way it works.
Learn Metabionics By Easy Application
I can only apply it in my own life and teach by example. And I can try to organize the material in such a way as to “spark” what the student already knows: Each of us creates his own life. That each man’s life is within his own head . . . in his own mind . . .in his own thinking! And the future belongs to us the moment we realize that and adjust the way we think accordingly.
You’ve read that before, haven’t you? And probably agreed with it. No doubt, you thought you understood it. Like to test yourself to see if you really did understand it?
Go back and read the first few questions at the beginning of this chapter. If your answers were “yes,” then you really haven’t under stood the very essence of life. Perhaps you feel you’re just about the most practical person in the world. Maybe the kindest. The most agreeable. Maybe you even have a high I.Q. Notwithstanding, if you’re not happy MOST of the time, then you’re only scratching the surface of this Truth.
Wise men of the ages have told us in a thousand ways: YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT. But only the really happy man understands it. And there aren’t too many of those, are there?
RIVERS OF RICHES ARE ONLY
A THOUGHT AWAY
Metabionics is the science of using that Truth to TEACH that Truth. Life is not what you think it is; it’s what you think.
Over the course of the next several thousand words, I’m going to tell you that same thing in many different ways. We’ll approach it from the philosophical standpoint, from such standpoints as the re ligious, poetic, occult, electronic, or psychological. We’ll hit it from every angle we can, until at last your own mind will lay all its prej udices aside and begin to cooperate with you. Soon it will begin to strip away the veils of ignorance, and it will go out of its way to show you signs and symbols, like some secret friend nodding and saying
20 Metabionics Can Attract Everything You've Ever Wanted to you, “Yes. You’re getting it. You’re on the right track.” Nature will begin to talk to you. You’ll have a sense of loving the world—all of Creation—and of its loving you right back!
Set Yourself Up for Miracles
Now, in order to use metabionics to teach metabionics, it will be necessary for you to begin programming your mind for easy assimi lation of the material. So, we shall begin by asking you to read these words very slowly, very carefully to yourself. Then, whisper them aloud as you read them through a second time.
I am open and receptive to what I am reading here. I know I can better my life and be of more service to others. I want to learn. I am learning at this vert; moment. I give thanks that this is so!
Now, close the book, and from memory repeat the statement. Put it in your own words if you like.
You might do this several times. Speak the words carefully, putting the emphasis where it seems most natural to you to do so. This statement—said sincerely—has a way of sweeping your, mind clear of unnecessary debris and laying down a sort of padding for understanding. You would do well to pause often and repeat the statement, especially whenever you come to a paragraph or chapter that might seem vague to you. As we work together, we will add to those “learning” and “understanding” phrases, but, for right now, those five short sentences will do quite nicely.
Right now I’d like to pause and explain to you how Metabionics works in one capsule sentence:
Metabionics is a method of quieting your thought processes (meditation) and slowing your brain frequency (Alpha level, 9 to 14 cps) so that physical healing can take place and clarity of perceptions and direction can reveal themselves; from this exercise you begin to be more selective in that you allow yourself to think about only that which adds good things to your life!
Since the Universe says “yes” to whatever we’re thinking about, it’s good to know how to keep destructive ideas to a minimum. Metabionics is like training wheels on a bicycle. Once you learn balance of your thought processes, you can dispense with the mechanics of Metabionics.
META-MIRACLE #1:
Betty C. Fooled the Class and Herself
Betty C. was one of my first students, some years ago. She seemed to take to this philosophy like a duck to water, breezing through the classes with goodwill and a ready smile. A short time after classes were over, and after I’d lost touch with Betty, I heard she’d had some problems, serious ones, and soon I got reports of a nervous breakdown! I was horrified. I simply could not believe it. Then, Betty got in touch with me. What I’d heard was true, and in counseling I discovered that Betty had learned little or none of the philosophy.
Because she was such a naturally happy person, always laughing and joking, we had all assumed she was “doing it right." But Betty was not “doing it” at all. She was sliding on what was a set of circumstances going well already, and so never even ap plied what she was “learning.” When the chips were down, Betty succumbed to previous conditioning and the opinions of those around her! A devastating combination of ingredients. Thereafter, I found, if I was to be a really fine teacher, I had to PROGRAM my students to ACCEPT NEW PROGRAMMING. This, by the way, is not the same as “brainwashing” when the “old” is washed out and “new” added. Brainwashing is a form of forcing someone else’s mind to accept what you want them to. The form of “re-programming” I use is safe in that it allows YOUR MIND to be selective. You are learning new things, new ideas, but the choice always remains with you.
Your Most Precious Possession
THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. You must NEVER allow anyone else to think for you. Conscious control of your own life is' your most precious possession. Only under emergency cir cumstances such as surgery should you EVER allow another’s will to make selections (choices, decisions) for you. Drugs, alcohol are ex tremely dangerous and allow for the possibility of not only your own loss of control, but of possession by another. We’ll discuss that more in another chapter, but for now, please re-read the statements made in the “learning programming;” notice how carefully-worded it is, to allow for your retention of control, while at the same time “flipping the switch” of understanding!
With all the agreements we have made with one another . . . that life is no “bed of roses” and that “disappointment is just a part of living” . . . it’s no wonder that the young people of the world grow discouraged by the time they are in their early teens. I can remember being told very early in my life that I must “face facts,” and then I was given a staggering assortment of grim details which meant utter ruin of whatever dream I had just proposed to some grownup!
Most of us (in MOST of our conversations . . . MOST of the time!) express doubt about ourselves, civilization in general, and our own neighborhoods in particular. We say that none of us can “avoid death and taxes” as if those two circumstances were the worst realities of life, and we fill our small talk with statements like, “Well, what can you expect?”, “It’s bad now and it’s going to get worse!”, and “Life is a downhill drag!”
This kind of exchange is what I’ve termed “building word cages,” where man allows his tongue to “idle” in habits of conversa tion which literally lock him into whatever descriptions he’s making about himself and others!
It works this way: Your WORD is your WORLD. However you express yourself is an accurate measure of your life!
Now I know that sounds far-fetched, because we rather like to think that things “happen” to us. That “Fate” decrees and all else complies. That there is such an element as “luck” and, although we run to fortune tellers, astrologers, and soothsayers, we invariably believe somehow that “forewarned” is “forearmed” and maybe (just maybe!) we can change things!
PERCEIVE FUTURE EVENTS WITH METABIONICS
Why try to forsee the future if we can’t change it? Do we do this perhaps because some little something within us knows we really DO control our lives?
Ever read your horoscope in the paper and begin to “dread” what it predicts?
Ever pay a palmist, only to deny what you don’t like and brag about what makes you happy?
Ever ask a Ouiji board any questions? Or have your fortune told by a gypsy?
SURE you have! Even if you swear you haven’t, bet you a nickel you have sneaked a peak at your fortune in one of those old 22 Metabionics Can Attract Everything You’ve Ever Wanted
upright scales where you get your weight AND your future, for a penny!
Oddly enough, that very searching, questioning, wondering is a sure sign that deep down inside you KNOW that you ARE in com mand of your life! But . . . just in case . . .
All of us want to know that we’re in charge of our lives. Yet, most of us are just a bit (or very much) doubtful as to our own ability to DIRECT our lives. Basically, we all know instinctively that, while we want CONTROL, we also want something or someone who loves us (and hopefully who can see farther and clearer than we can) to make our choices for us.
Sometimes we just want something or someone we can blame if things don’t turn out right. The possibility that any choice might lead us to pain or embarrassment keeps us from making decisions at all. We like to say, “It was just plain bad luck!” or, “I guess I never had a chance!”
Interesting! We want to be omnipotent, omniscient, omnipres ent . . . yet . . . (and again, “just in case”) we want SOMETHING or SOMEONE else to be responsible! We set a lot of store by “fault” and “blame,” don’t we?
The Sixth Sense that Sparks Miracles
“Intuition” is the “tutor within.” That “sixth sense” or that little something (wee, small voice!) which tells you that YOU are in charge, that YOU are capable and also informs you that there is a “bigger you” inside which IS truly all-seeing, all-knowing and all- powerful. That “bigger you” is there to help you make choices, and CORRECTLY! It’s there to help you enjoy the fun of risk-taking! To help you feel totally and completely ALIVE.
Do all of us have intuition? YES!
Can all of us USE that intuition? Of course! How?
Well, to begin with, you are using it now. You’re reading this book, aren’t you? THAT was a good decision. And every good de cision, every perfect choice, every happy ending is based firmly on your INTUITIVE leanings.
On the other hand, everything which ends a little up-in-the- air—or leaves you feeling inadequate, unfulfilled, troubled—was based only partly on intuition. You only looked at the answers your
24 Metabfonics Can Attract Everything You’ve Ever Wanted mind was giving you until you saw what you thought you wanted. Then you quit looking!
Pick the Miracle You W ant with
Your Own Consciousness
Like the old joke about the gambler, you used your intuition (prayer) until you felt you had control, and then, cocksure of yourself, you stopped listening to that inner tutor and said, “Lord, I’ll take it from here!” In the anecdote you may remember that the story portrays a desperate horseplayer—down on his luck—who has placed all his wordly goods on one last bet. Although a thoroughbred, the horse he’s betting on is a long-shot, and the poor man has bet his last two dollars! “Please, God,” he promises, “If you let this horse come in for me, I’ll never, ever gamble again!” And with that, the bettor prays sincerely and fervently until his entry is leading the field, some ten lengths ahead of the rest, and then, when he feels success is assured, he relieves God of the responsi bility !
There’s more than a grain of Truth in this story. Although it’s a very old one, like many of our fables and myths, what’s at the core is perhaps even much more than we suspect. The poet who suggested there were “sermons in stones” was acknowledging in his own way that all around us—in our material world, from plant life to literature and even in the derivation of words themselves—are lessons in life crying out to be discovered!
LIFE 18 MADE (IP OF CHOICES
Let's return now to two basic premises:
1. Life is supposed to be good—you are designed for joy.
2.
Life is made up of YOUR choices.Said another way, your choices create your world,
META-MIRACLE *2:
How Mary C. Took the Reins in Her Life
Mary C. was deeply troubled by her relationship with her family. Unmarried, living at home, she was thirty-two years old when she enrolled in my classes. She was really very pretty, but doubt, fear and a frequent apologetic facial expression marred her beauty. As I counseled with Mary, I discovered that both her
parents were strong-willed persons, well able to convince themselves that there was only one way to live and THAT way was THEIR way.
Mary, of course, grew up believing them, but as she and I worked together, she began to take a look at her life from outside of herself. Suddenly, she admitted that she was not happy doing things the way her parents thought things should be done, and she also saw that this did not necessarily mean that she didn’t love them or even that they were wrong. It only meant that Mary had reached a point in her own life when it was time for the rela tionship to change. To be a really worthwhile—and happy—in dividual, she had to make her own mistakes. She had to see for herself (and perhaps eventually convince her parents) that to have a daughter who made her own choices and who was then strong enough to stand by those choices was to have done a good job as a parent. How good a parent are you when you make a child dependent upon you and your beliefs? Isn’t that keeping the bird in a psychological nest?
Mary found she was not able to do this right away, but gradually she was able to move into that new view of herself to such an extent that her parents required no convincing. In other words, once Mary began to believe in herself, her parents and everyone else began to believe in her also. Never a word was ex changed between her and her parents. The only work Mary did was in her own mind. Then—with her own mind under con trol—her whole world was under her control. She took charge!
In my classes I always ask my students to post this little reminder to themselves. You can also put it in some convenient place where you’re apt to see often so that the total understanding has an opportunity to come to you without your even being aware of it:
What I believe about myself, is so. What others believe can be changed.
Therefore, what is important is what 1 believe!
So now we add to our previous two statements a third state ment:
3.
Since life depends on your choices, then your choices should be made with the help of your inner tutor (intuition), which isthat all-knowing, all-powerful, all-seeing Presence of Channel that we can all contact!
CONTACTING THE POWER
The method for contacting this Channel, or Power-Source, is an easy one. You simply go there in your imagination. Elsewhere in this book we’ll talk about a number of techniques. Some are occult in origin, some are psychological, some are my own simplified by Truth-Teachers of all disciplines. All of them work, but perhaps not all of them will work for you. It’s your responsibility to seek out that which directs your thought-power to the larger Source of Thought- Power.
You would not be able to think a thought unless you were yourself a part of that Greater Thought Machine. All of us know this—again, intuitively—but we don’t always act as if we did. We run about in all directions reacting to the world we can see and touch and feel and smell and hear—pretending that this world is all there is. It’s a form of game-playing, and it causes us much pain, much discouragement. We have only to use our individual Mind-Power to move into the Greater Mind Power to avoid all this.
And again, it’s a matter of choice. We can pretend that the sense-world is all there is and that we are helpless pawns of Fate. Or, we can extend our consciousness to use the Greater Power and see beyond Time, Space and Conditions. Instead of just seeing across the street, suddenly we can see across the oceans!
Most people have many little flashes of insight many times dur ing any one given day. These little flashes are actually times when we are operating from the Greater Mind. Somehow, however, we find it difficult to cultivate the habit of staying in that larger con sciousness. Like riding a bicycle, it has to be learned and it’s merely a matter of balance and confidence! Metabionics is a system to get you there and keep you there!
POSTING SKY-HOOKS FOR YOURSELF
Here are some more statements you should tack up or tape in a prominent place (prominent for you, not for the public, unless you have a closely-knit family not apt to probe or poke fun at your ef forts). These sentences are like precious jewels, even far more valuable than the rarest gems. They can bring you treasures beyond 26 Metabionics Can Attract Everything You’ve Ever Wanted
your current dreams and so are worthy of your loving attention. Some of my students type or print them on small cards to be tucked in purses or wallets. In the beginning, I wrote them on slim strips of paper which I put everywhere! To this day I occasionally find one in a book, or tucked in the folds of a scarf, or scotch-taped in the back of a desk drawer!
The statements are all the same Truth, said in a few of the hun dreds of different ways it can be said. And, incidentally, it has been called the Greatest Secret, one that man hides from himself in play ing the game of life. It has been repeated in every language, spoken and implied symbolically, formed the basis of every religion—or cult—known to man on this planet!
YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT. YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS IN YOUR HEAD
LIFE IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS. IT’S WHAT YOU THINK.
REALITY IS YOUR THOUGHT-WORLD. YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE. WHAT YOU THINK, YOU ARE.
LIFE IS THOUGHT PROCESSES.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE.
THOUGHTS BECOME EXPERIENCE. LIVING IS THINKING.
YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT.
WHAT GOES ON IN YOUR MIND GOES ON IN YOUR LIFE.
WHAT YOU LIVE AND WISH TO BE IS WHAT YOU BE- LIVE or BELIEVE.
Pick the ones which mean the most to you now—even before you read further—and use them as spiritual curb-scrapers to keep yourself on track!
META-MIRACLE #3:
My Life is a Shower of Miracles
How well I remember my first conscious encounter with this Truth! I had entered some classes in mind science and felt a great inability to understand exactly what it was all about. The
28 Metabionics Can Attract Everything You’ve Ever Wanted philosophy felt right, but 1 personally did not feel “holy” enough to use it for my own benefit. 1 still had the idea that you had to be somebody’s idea of “good” for “good” to happen to you.
As a child I had exciting and colorful psychic experiences , , . sensations of the collapse of time and space . . . dejavu. . . flashbacks and previews of the future. . . celestial music . . . and convenient imaginary playmates or guides. When I made the mistake of sharing these experiences with the adults in my life I was subjected to that same old reaction that they had received in their childhoods: 1 was simply told that I was imagining things.
Metabionics Helps You Avoid the Traps
By the time 1 was out of school and an adult myself, mar ried, the mother of two handsome sons, and later on, out in the business world, I had learned to put aside psychic experiences. I let my own “intelligence” and “logic” take priority over hunches. 1 regarded my imagination as a useful tool only in writing poetry or fiction or in decorating my home. (In fact, I’ve had businessmen—whom I greatly admired and respected—tell me that a colorful imagination has no place in a money-making situa tion and certainly there was no room for prayer!)
My story is possibly no different from your story—I reached a point of being so swallowed up in what I thought others thought that I became an emotional pendulum, swinging between feeling useful and worthwhile to feeling despair and discouragement. I wondered why life only meant worry, problems and challenge after challenge after challenge. I harbored a continuing sense of being ineffectual. Ann—I told myself—would never, ever “measure up.”
My religious background was strong. More than anything else I wanted to be regarded as a “good” person. I wanted to be all things to all people—my family, my friends, my husband, my job. I wanted to have plenty of energy, be willing to be of service to everybody and have a constant smile on my face.
Artificial Control
Then somewhere I discovered a well-meaning physician who understood my needs. He gave me a prescription drug which kept my energy up and my weight down. I seldom drank at that time, but gradually I learned that a drink in the evening helped to slow down the pace of the day on pills. Soon I had formed what I considered a marvelous way to frame my day. Pep pills brought a lovely daytime “lift,” and alcohol brought a glorious evening “glow.” I woke up with one and went to sleep
with the other. I had—for the time being—learned to control my world!
The fact that this “control” cost money and then extracted its fees from my life in dark, insidious ways, was not something I chose to recognize until that “control” reversed the roles and took control of me. More pills and more alcohol had to be added to my day to banish those dreaded feelings of disillusionment and frustration. 1 became so dependent upon my artificial crutches that I did not even notice I had become firmly entrenched in a pattern of loss. The pseudo-highs I sought to elevate me out of my despondency now dropped me—once and for all—into a permanent state even lower than my previous feelings of inade quacy.
My friends told me I was having a nervous breakdown. My doctor told me to have surgery on my thyroid. My minister told me to “cut out my bad habits.” And my family called me a drunk!
To a mind overcome with distortion, all of that was just more confusion! I vividly remember the day I just gave up! The prayer 1 cried was desperate and sincere. A wreck . . . mentally, physically and spiritually . . . I simply asked for God’s help. The results were immediate. I was led straight into the science of Metabionics. The very cells of my body, the very essence of me, had cried out for help. And I got it instantly!
You can, too! Well before the time you reach the last chapter of this book, you will know how to take control of your life in the only way that works. You’ll know how to have more money. How to be healthier, happier, more alive. How to ex perience love, fulfillment and peace. And you’ll be holy, all right. In the only correct meaning of the word. You’ll be whole. Not sanctimonious, not self-righteous, but whole. A perfected total!
Metabionics Put Me in Com m and-
Ju s t as It Can Do for You
Even if your life is not the mess that mine was, remember you are not to “blame” for a less-than-satisfactory existence. Your life is in your own head, in your own mind, in your own thinking, and so our skill here is to learn how to take over our own minds and be in command of what goes on in there!
The mind is like a little monkey. Energetic. Busy. Active. Jumping from one thing to another constantly. So quickly that the timing has been compared to a millionth of a second! Most of the
lit-30 Metabionics Can Attract Everything You've Ever Wanted tie “monkey antics’ are just reflections of what we believe we are seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting or smelling. They’re reactions— quick reactions—to unreliable perceptions. Mistakenly, we call these reactions “thoughts” and allow them to run our lives. This is the very worst form of trusting to luck.
Would you knowingly allow yourself to be a passenger in a high-speed automobile with a little untrained monkey chauffeuring you?
Well, that’s what you’re doing unless you’ve learned the art of thinking, which should be the one most important subject taught in our schools. Instead of teaching our youngsters WHAT to think, we should be teaching them HOW to think.
METABIONICS: THE SECRET OF THE AGES
The population of Earth is seemingly divided into two types of individuals: those who are successful and either knowingly or un knowingly think correctly, and those who are not successful—the victims of their own uncontrolled thought processes. It may not seem reasonable to you at this moment, but that latter group com prises over 95 percent of the civilized world and accounts for our poor, our hungry and our war-ridden nations.
It is well to note here that often—by accident—we stumble into a winning situation or “triumph.” When that happens we are given the opportunity to study the chain of events—or choices—which lead up to that success. Psychologists call these success patterns, and indeed they are. If we take the time to do so, we can re-live those patterns and learn to repeat only those “tracks of choices” which work for us. We need to analyze our triumphs. Memorize them!
METABIONICS SPARKS
POWERFUL PSYCHIC-FEEDBACK
Metabionics relies heavily on what I like to call psychic-feed- back. The subliminal background of the philosophy, psychic-feed- back is one prime ingredient most often overlooked in mind science studies.
You see, studying your triumphs can be of two-fold benefit. Not only can you learn the choices which lead up to that success, but attention feeds, and you feed further triumph by paying atten tion to past ones!
Now, understand that I am talking about paying attention to your successes in a wholesome, worthwhile way. I am not talking about bragging, or boring others with long stories of your success. Attention is an energy, and builds where it rests. If you concentrate on the good things in your life, you’ll build more good things into your life. And, don’t forget, the reverse is also true. Attention to failure builds more failure.
The definition of feedback is the “return of a portion of the out put of any process or system to the input.” (American Heritage Dic tionary) .
In electronics, if you turn an open microphone toward a speaker-box and at the same time you proceed to speak into the microphone, the microphone will pick up what you are saying PLUS what you said just a millionth of a second ago. You are FEEDING BACK into the microphone what you JUST FED into that microphone.
The result is a magnification of the initial input.
To use physic-feedback properly—as in metabionics—you learn to feed only SECRET input into your mind, where it is again magnified by the same process. You learn to monitor your thoughts so you are not magnifying or enlarging that which you do not want in your life.
Psychic-feedback is really SENSE-FEEDBACK. If you are very, very careful about what you allow into your thought world, then what is automatically MAGNIFIED becomes worthy of that magnification. Most of us—unfortunately—use psychic-feedback in ignorance, and to our detriment. When we don’t take charge of our thought world, we allow our minds to dwell on ideas of limitation, illness, fear and discouragement. The principle of psychic-feedback works all the time, regardless of whether or not we’re careful about our thinking. The principle will deliver to^is MAGNIFIED limitation, illness, fear and discouragement, just as well as it will deliver confi dence, joy, health and abundance!
THE POWER OF POSITIVE
METABIONIC THINKING
The student of metabionics soon learns how important it is to stay positive. To be around positive, loving, joyous people. To seek out books and films and television programs that give us good ideas
of health, happiness and prosperity. This way we use the mind processes to BUILD positive and better mind processes. It works either way. Why not use it the best way?
Light Up This B rilliant Candle
of Your Consciousness
We hear a lot these days about consciousness and awareness. And there are a lot of terms such as self-actualization that have almost become the “buzz” words of what some observers have dubbed the “me” or narcissistic generation.
Now, I am not too much in favor of using “buzz" words, because I feel that all-too-often by the time a word becomes a popular or fad term, it’s lost its meaning, but I am very much in favor of the “me” generation!
You see, what we’re talking about here is really evolution. Progress. We’re talking about man’s next step. That next step is learning what makes him tick. Going inside himself and making that wonderful discovery that he was designed for success and that God did, indeed, give him dominion over all things, creating him just a “little lower than the angels.” Self-help books and self-help courses are just about the most wonderful inventions ever! They’re the natural next passage for us after the great age of technology.
The “me” generation is on a fantastic pilgrimage back to God. They’re discovering that, as individuals, we’re all a part of the Whole of Creation, and therefore, of each other. They’re learning that every man’s death or failure is every other man’s death or failure. And that it’s equally true that every man’s nobility and greatness and triumph is every other man’s nobility and greatness and triumph. That we all have the right to celebrate each other—and the life proc ess—every moment of every day!
THE METABIONIC WAY-OF-LIFE
Make no mistake, the narcissistic generation has been bubbling up in our midst for some time. It didn’t just happen overnight. Man is always growing. As he seeks out his Source—understands God and the God-Power that runs the Universe—well, he himself becomes more.
And make no mistake, there’s nothing new here. Metabionics is just the next step in packaging some very old Truths, or, let’s say,
packaging some approaches to that one Truth, that man is a thought in the Mind of God, and that as Man thinks he becomes co-creator of his own world.
The packaging of metabionics includes a whole lot of under standing about the laws of the mind and the use of psychic- feedback. This includes, of course, meditation, or learning to quiet the hustle-bustle of day-to-day thought processes and becoming centered in pure awareness.
Metabionics Is Sim ple and Fun to Apply
Absolutely. Life itself is really very simple, but since man loves to complicate things, and since I want you to get your money’s worth, I am going to spend some time giving you some rather exotic approaches to metabionics. I’ll show you the difference between “mantras” and “chants,” and “mental treatments” and “program ming” and “meditations.” They are very similar, so don’t allow yourself to become confused. We’ll go slowly and show you how to take the time to use them in a specific way to achieve specific results.
THE QQIET CENTER WHERE MIRACLES BEGIN
Meditation is sometimes taught as an effort to reach “pure be ing” or the awareness of formlessness or unconditioned thought. That’s all very splendid, but it’s difficult for the sincere student to cor relate that with what happens when he attends a lecture and the teacher guides him in a meditation with the spoken word.
What’s more, I’ve had many students ask me how they’d know when they “got there” in meditation. God bless us all! You don’t “go” anywhere when you meditate! That’s just the point. Sometimes I think that the best way for a teacher to give some true idea of what meditation is all about would be to take a group of students out to a quiet lake at dawn or sunset and turn them loose in separate flat- bottom boats!
Although we go deeper into the subject later in this book, for the moment, let’s just say that meditation is learning to retreat into the peaceful center of your own mind—an absolute must in human existence. It has always been so, and always will be, but it’s something we’ve more or less gotten very far away from. As a result, lots of people are taking classes (some quite expensive) to re-learn that fine art of quietness, of inner serenity, and others are drugging themselves senseless hoping to duplicate the same thing.
Woe is us!
You might say that man has evolved into an upright-walking mammal, and suddenly he runs so fast he’s forgotten the ability to guide himself. What we seem to be doing now is using our creative powers to help us create things to keep us from the necessity of creating! Computers think for us! Foods are pre-measured and pre cooked. We’re just a push-button away from all sorts of delights . , , so much so that there’s a whole army of do-it-yourselfers as a natural reaction against too much automation.
What’s more, we’ve gotten ourselves so tied up with what we now consider the “business of living” (for example, making money, traveling from here to there in search of experiences and excite ment) that we are actually on a sort of merry-go-round of futility. The very things we are searching for are always just out of reach.
Suicide, mental illness, poverty, sickness . . . even hunger . . . are a result of incorrect use of the mind.
Individually, each man and woman makes his or her own choices, and collectively, we make choices for the whole of mankind. The regular use of your mind—as it clicks away with or without your direction—is a great responsibility. It is much as if we were the drivers of a great, powerful machine capable of relocating mountains and draining the oceans!
Metabionics—Key to Controlling the Mind
Your mind is constantly taking you in one direction or another. Up, down, sideways. Into problems. Or out of problems. Into ill ness. Or out of illness. Into abundance, or away from it. Even into attractiveness . . . or out of it!
Like the unguided powerful machine, your mind is taking you someplace . . . good or bad . . . according to your choice. And . . . if you make no choice . . . you go nowhere at all. You stagnate.
Isn’t it time you learned the trick of choosing your direction deliberately?
A few thousand words from now you will have consciously taken the rudder of your life and will be going exactly where you want to go and at the speed you wish to travel!

“Something” for “Nothing”
HOW META-CONSCIOUSNESS WORKS WONDERS
Perhaps the great broadcaster/teacher/philosopher, Zarl Nightingale, was the first person to record a complete presentation of how our thoughts form our lives. In his collector’s item, THE STRANGEST SECRET, he gathered some of the most comprehen sive and outstanding points regarding how the mind works and >vhy most people never bother to try to understand it. As he put it, our minds come to us as standard equipment at birth; they’re free. And what we don’t pay money for, we regard lightly. And, he further pointed out, everything we have that is REALLY valuable, that CANNOT BE REPLACED, also comes to us free. But that which we consider of value, the things money CAN buy, can be replaced at any time.
Your brain and its functions, for want of a better term, we can call mind activity. Mind activity . . . attitudes, opinions, sensitivities, random impressions . . . make up what we generally call con sciousness.
There are varying degrees of consciousness—being “con scious,” or aware, without a lot of mind activity, all the way up to a heightened consciousness, where the brain is busy taking in, com puting, storing or sorting, and sometimes returning answers or solu tions or even creating (from scratch or by combining previous intake) as with writers, artists, scientists, and inventors.
We use the words, conscious or consciousness in many dif ferent ways. We say a man is only “conscious of money,” meaning that’s all he ever thinks about. Or we say that a woman is only “con scious of her home and her husband and children,” meaning that’s all SHE ever thinks about.
Whatever you dwell upon, concentrate upon or allow to dominate your thoughts, comes into your life and stays there as long
as you continue to consciously keep it there. Knowing that this is true, we begin to see that where our consciousness lies is where we live. Said another way, my consciousness makes up my experience.
Wise men and teachers throughout the history of the world have always known this, and they have used it to their own advan tage as well as to the advantage of others. To be a good and holy man, a monk would isolate himself in such a way as to guarantee that he could think only those thoughts which were meaningful to the good and holy life. Simplicity, dedication to God and the service of others. To become a scholar, a student isolated himself with books and teachers and “scholarly things.” And conversely, a per son doesn’t really begin a life of crime until he isolates himself with those of criminal intent (either physically or in his imagination) and begins literally to “walk on the dark side” of life.
If you’re a student, or an avid reader, you might enjoy study ing the religions of the world, but it is by no means necessary once you have mastered the principles of Metabionics. Metabionics con tains the essence of all religions, the Truth that every great teacher and philosopher eventually discovered for himself.
The Magnetic Power of Metabionics
Now, if all this sounds complicated and deep, it isn’t actually. The mind is a magnetic field, drawing to it its own reflection. Some teachers have said, “as within, so without,” or “you become what you believe.” Said still another way, your consciousness (the sum total of all your attitudes and opinions and dominant thinking pat terns) pulls into your life exactly what it is. If you are conscious of wealth, you become wealthy. If you are conscious of health, you be come healthy. If you are conscious of beauty, you become beautiful. Sound far-fetched? Not at all. It’s the truth about life, and what is so exciting about the era you and I are experiencing now is that SCIENTIFICALLY we are gradually proving it! Metabionics is scien tific demonstration. The ancient religions, cults, seers and prophets all told us this (not too clearly, but where you find the written word, you’ll find it!), and all our avatars and wise men have tried to tell us this in a thousand different ways. Metabionics ties these ancient truths together for the modern men or women.
Jesus of Nazareth said, “As ye believe, so it is done unto you.” James Allen said, “You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
The Way to Get Something for Nothing 39 Ralph Waldo Emerson, one of the very greatest metaphysi cians, said, “The soul of God is poured into the world through the thoughts of men,”
And Ernest Holmes, the Twentieth Century mystic who founded Science of Mind and the Church of Religious Science, referred to it as the Law of Attraction “responding to your thought atmosphere.” He spoke often of mental equivalents, and said that “we attract to ourselves that which we first become” by the predomi nant daily thinking we do.
Personal Metabionic Test
Now, give yourself a little test. Don’t talk about it to anyone. This is the most intimate, most personal voyage of your life. You want to WIN at it. (Why lose? Who wants to be a failure?) If you are to win at it, go about it seriously, as if your very life depended upon it. And . . . now . . . even before you begin the test, stop to con sider that your LIFE DOES DEPEND ON IT.
As you work with Metabionics, remember the POWER OF SILENCE. It’s essential.
For your own sake, take the test honestly. If you cheat, if you exaggerate, you are only hurting yourself. This is YOUR LIFE. What others think is not important. What IS important is what YOU think, how YOU feel. Be very, very truthful with yourself.
Answer these questions. Don’t write them down. Just answer them silently.
1. Are you happy? 2. Are you healthy? 3. Are you rich? 4. Are you loved?
Just four little questions . . . yet . . . if any one of them is answered with a “No,” something is missing in your life. We should ALL be happy . . . healthy . , . rich . . . and loved.
You Are Meant to Receive Miracles
Life . . . the One Source . . . the Creator . , . God (whatever you choose to call the Ultimate). . . is never, ever frivolous or frolic some to the detriment of its own creation. We were NOT designed as a plaything for the Universe, something that a great giant-in-the- sky winds up to watch it squirm and suffer. Of course, there are
peo-pie in this world who like to believe that way because it makes ex cuses for them as well as others NOT to take responsibility for their own lives! They can then attribute everything to “luck” and to a GOD that doesn’t always choose to be good to us.
What’s more, if any one of those things (money, good personal relationships, feeling of success, well-being, lovingness) are absent from your life, it is BECAUSE YOU DON’T HAVE A CON SCIOUSNESS OF IT.
If you’re not happy, you don’t have a consciousness of happi ness. If you’re not healthy, you don’t have a consciousness of health. If you’re not rich, you don’t have a consciousness of rich ness. And . . . if you’re not loved, you don’t have a consciousness of love.
At this point, most of my students will ask, “Okay. I under stand. And what’s more, I believe you. I can see that this is so. But what can I do about it? Can you change your consciousness?”
Of course, you can!
YOU SIMPLY CHANGE YOUR MIND. You build a new consciousness.
It’s as simple as one, two, three!
That’s what Metabionics is all about. But you must be persist ent. You can’t change your mind in a wink, and change it BACK in another wink, and then wonder what happened!
How to Change Your Metabionics Mental Field
You are always in charge of your thinking. You permit—or do not permit—certain thoughts into your mental field. You are the monitor, the guardian of your own mind. You MUST take control and keep it.
Building a consciousness of anything is a matter of sustained control. Keeping your thoughts centered as much as you can on those things that are positive and in the direction you want them to go. “Just a little positive thinking” is helpful. But it won’t get the job done permanently.
To build a consciousness of wealth, for instance, you can’t think about how poor you are all day long. You can’t concentrate on your bills and worry about how you’re going to pay them. And you cannot envy those who have more money than you do.
The Way to Get Something for Nothing 41
THE GOLDEN METABIONIC TECHNIQUE
THAT NEVER FAILS
Try this, instead: Buy a WALL STREET JOURNAL, to begin with. Take it home with you. Get off by yourself, get comfortable and prepare to read it. But BEFORE YOU DO, call upon your Un seen Servants and ask for help. Close your eyes, and say to yourself, “I am going to read this paper, and although I may not feel that I am absorbing the material here right away, I am going to leave that to my Angels. THEY understand it. THEY work closely with the Angels of the editors and writers of this paper! I am going to let my Angels and their Angels do all the work. I am simply going to read this paper and understand as much as I can for now, BECAUSE I am going to be, in fact, I am ALREADY VERY, VERY, RICH!”
Then, quietly, with the attitude of one with long years of finan cial experience, read the WALL STREET JOURNAL, and then go about your business of the day. Again, don’t tell anyone of the men tal work you’re doing. They won’t understand, and you cannot teach it until you have accomplished it yourself. THEN you can teach, and even then, you teach BEST by example. Let your family and friends SEE you become very, very wealthy, and THEN let them ask you how you did it!
Perhaps you don’t enjoy reading and you’d like a more active way of absorbing the consciousness of wealth. THEN GO WHERE REALLY WEALTHY PEOPLE live and work and play. Walk through the buildings where great wealth is handled and ac cumulated. Drive or walk through the country clubs, the residential areas, and shop in the larger, more expensive stores. Take the bus to get there if you must, but GO! You cannot build a consciousness of wealth by walking through the ghettoes. And you cannot build a consciousness of wealth by talking with others who do not have it. You see, there’s an important, fine line here. Don’t put yourself in a position of having an attitude of envy. When you go where the wealthy are, go to study and absorb, not resent. A big danger of talking with others who DON’T HAVE money is that they moan, and groan and resent those who do!
Metabionics is nothing more than the perennial philosophy of
lived. We build our consciousness through the use of psychic- feedback. We absorb DELIBERATELY what we want to build into our lives and allow the doubling-effect of psychic feedback to bring what we want to experience into our lives QUICKLY, and PER MANENTLY.
Building a Consciousness of Health
Let’s try that same approach to health. How would you NOT build a consciousness of health? That’s easy. You and I both havt friends who go about it the wrong way constantly. (Remember, if we’re not totally healthy, we’re doing it right now!) To build a con sciousness of UN-health, we simply read all the medical columns and books we can get our hands on and we dwell on all the diseases and malfunctions possible to the human body. Then we talk about it to our families and friends, and we WORRY about it until we DEVELOP those symptoms, and THEN, as some people do, (and if we have the money!) we search for a doctor who will finally confirm our self-diagnosis!
Some of my students will often argue with me on this. They’ll disagree and cite cases about “Aunt So-and-so who certainly never was guilty of what you describe and yet she died of cancer just last year.” And they’ll go on and on and on trying to disprove what I’ve just said.
Don’t Take My Word for It—
Prove to Yourself Metabionics Works
I cannot be concerned with those students. I must let them prove it to themselves (and they will, eventually, if not in this lifetime, certainly in the next!), I can only be concerned with those persons who REALLY want to feel better, live longer, happier lives. SOME people use illness to get attention and draw to themselves the “love” they need. It’s the only way they know how. And they’ll hate you terribly for telling them that it is all self-created. But those people who really want a better life will NOT spend time trying to DISprove, but will instead stretch and strain their own intelligence to grasp Metabionics, studying their own mental processes, and when they do PROVE IT TO THEMSELVES, the floodgates of goodness will open and pour over them all the wonderful things they could ever imagine!

META-MIRACLE #4:
Fred T. Went From Ailing to Athlete
Fred T. was a “disbeliever,” but I loved him from the first moment I saw him in class. He was the kind of young man who drew others to him—charming, handsome, considerate and kind. Yet, he often missed class because of illness. He’d send word to another student to take notes for him (by the way, don’t EVER try to leam Metabionics that way. You don’t “take notes” where Metabionics is concerned. “Taking notes” is for little jobs, little subjects. Not the very Truth about your life!)
Sometimes, Fred just had a cold. Sometimes it was an upset stomach or a severe headache. Regardless, he seemed very in terested in what we were doing, and finally, he called me and asked for some private counseling.
