"These pages have been written with purpose and hope that their suggestions may furnish you a key to open up the way to the attainment of your desires, and to explain that Fear should be entirely banished from your effort to obtain possession of the things you desire. This presupposes, of course, that your desire for possession is based upon your aspiration for greater liberty. For example, you feel that the possession of more money, lands or friends will make you happier, and your desire for possession of these things arises from a conviction that their possession will bring you liberty and happiness." So begins "Your Invisible Working Principles and Concrete Examples in Applied Mental Science", a presentation of the Mental Science of Judge Thomas Troward by Genevieve Behrend.
Genevieve Behrend was the only personal student of New Thought ("Mental Science") writer Thomas Troward. She established The School of the Builders in New York City and ran it until 1925.
