CONSCIOUS CONTROL OF BRAIN TRACKS

My experience is that the first thing for me to attend to and know, in
getting people to let me have my way, is to know when and how to discover
and open up in people new brain tracks and when and how to make my main
dependence on their old ones.

Getting what one wants from people turns on seeing the situation--the
brain track situation in one's own mind at a particular time, and in
other people's, as it really is.

In other words, the way to get one's way with people is to know and
extend one's consciousness down deeper into one's subconsciousness in
one's own mind, so that one draws on the conscious and the subconscious
in one's own mind at will, so that gradually having the habit of drawing
on the conscious and the subconscious in one's own mind at will, one soon
makes oneself master of the conscious and the subconscious in the minds
of others.

I do not precisely know this, of course, because I have never practiced
having my own way with other people as much as I would like, but my
theory and my observation of others who have practiced on me leads me, in
speaking for all of us to believe this: The way for a man to do who wants
to get his own way with people is to heighten his consciousness, deepen
his consciousness down into his subconsciousness, live more abundantly in
soul and body, deeper down and higher up and further over into himself
than others. Then he gets his way with others because everybody wants him
to, almost without knowing it or anybody's else knowing it.

A man who does this becomes like any other great force of nature. The
indication seems to be that what the artist in a man or the engineer in
him does with the genius in him namely: the driving down of an artesian
well of consciousness into his subconsciousness, the using of his new
brain tracks and old ones together--is the secret of getting one's way
for all of us, whether with Nature or with one another.

Of course, the hard part of this program to arrange for is the new brain
tracks to put with the old ones both in getting our own way with other
people and with ourselves.

This part of my book deals with what is a very personal problem for most
of us--what new brain tracks are really like, how they
