The key goal-image is our Self-image.
Our Self-Image prescribes the limits for the accomplishment
of any particular goals. It prescribes the "area of the
possible."
Like any other servo-mechanism, our Creative Mechanism
works upon information and data which we feed
into it (our thoughts, beliefs, interpretations). Through
our attitudes and interpretations of situations, we "describe"
the problem to be worked upon.
If we feed information and data into our Creative
Mechanism to the effect that we ourselves are unworthy,
inferior, undeserving, incapable (a negative self-image)
this data is processed and acted upon as any other data
in giving us the "answer" in the form of objective experience.
Like any other servo-mechanism, our Creative Mechanism
makes use of stored information, or "memory," in
solving current problems and responding to current situations.
Your program for getting more living out of life consists
in first of all, learning something about this Creative
Mechanism, or automatic guidance system within you and
how to use it as a Success Mechanism, rather than as a
Failure Mechanism.
The method itself consists in learning, practicing, and
experiencing, new habits of thinking, imagining, remembering,
and acting in order to (1) develop an adequate
and realistic Self-image, and (2) use your Creative Mechanism
to bring success and happiness in achieving particular
goals.
