It also discusses being "a lamp unto yourself" by relying on inner truth and wisdom rather than external sources. Finally, it provides tips for developing a positive inner relationship with oneself such as laughing at oneself and accepting one's natural traits.

The Answer Exists Now In much
the same way, when we set out to
find a new idea, or the answer to a
problem, we must assume that the
answer exists already somewhere,
and set out to find it.
The lamp unto yourself
Lamp unto yourself
Said a great Teacher to his
disciples, "Those who shall be a
lamp unto them-selves, relying
upon themselves only, and not
relying upon any external help, but
holding fast to the Truth as their
lamp, and, seeking their salvation in
the Truth alone, shall not look for
assistance to any besides
themselves, it is they among my
disciples who shall reach the very
topmost height! But they must be
willing to learn."
-James Allen, The Heavenly Life
6 Ways
1. Have a good laugh with yourself.
2. Learn to enjoy time with
yourself in the same way you would
with a friend.
3. Invest time talking about and
encouraging your natural
personality traits.
4. Accept and then understand
the unconscious programming.
5. Praise yourself first rather
than looking for others to do it
first.
6. Recognize that you are complete
and that you belong.
1. Your built-in success mechanism
must have a goal or "target."
This goal, or target, must be
conceived of as "already in
existencenow" either in actual or
potential form.
2. The automatic mechanism is
teleological, that is, operates, or
must be oriented to "end results,"
goals.
Do not be discouraged because
the "means whereby" may not be
apparent.
It is the function of the automatic
mechanism to supply the "means
whereby" when you supply the
goal.
Think in terms of the end result,
and the means whereby will often
take care of themselves.
3. Do not be afraid of making
mistakes, or of temporary failures.
All servo-mechanisms achieve a
goal by negative feedback, or by
going forward, making mistakes,
and immediately correcting course.
4. Skill learning of any kind is
accomplished by trial and error,
mentally correcting aim after an
error, until a "successful" motion,
movement or performance has been
achieved.
After that, further learning, and
continued success, is accomplished
by forgetting the past 'errors, and
remembering the successful
response, so that it can be "
imitated."
5. You must learn to trust your
creative mechanism to do its work
and not "jam it" by becoming too
concerned or too anxious as to
whether it will work or not, or by
attempting to force it by too much
conscious effort.
You must "let it" work, rather
than "make it" work.
