internet is going to be mainstream a lot
of people are going to get out there and
use it and that they're going to be
willing to pay for some context that the
operating idea that you have well each
of these businesses is an
entrepreneurial business the
overreaching team is that yes I believe
in the Internet I believe it will get
increasingly popular and we're doing
some neat new things to take advantage
of that is put you've got a lot of cash
on hand yes right all right it puts you
in an into position you can experiment
with a lot of entrepreneurial ideas and
see what sticks and what flies well
we're in business to make money and but
the other thing is providing such a cash
flow for you well it all belongs to the
shareholders we're not dilettante no I
mean we are business people and it is
true that if you find an idea that
requires three or four years of
improvement and patience and really
sticking with it that were very good at
that take windows which we bet our
company on everybody who doubted that
would succeed IBN did not support us in
that it took longer than we expected
over four years before finally graphical
interface got popular and now people
take it for granted it's part of every
personal computer and you just you just
expect it to be there that was one of
the grand successes of the company in
the same way we're betting on the
internet that our tools there will be
popular and that a few of these content
plays that we've decided to get involved
in that the scale and and the users will
make those in the great businesses
stricken my all back to solve your
career a man with a dream you know
training the gym day and out somebody
said to you you'll have or you'll be as
successful as you are now what have you
have said back then I believe you that's
what I said because I did believe as I
believed in what I had very few people
who told me that I had a small small
small group of people that will tell me
something like that
other than that it was just me telling
myself yeah so if someone came up to me
and told me that all the way back then
I'd say you're damn right the universe
is governed by law one great flaw its
manifestations and multiforme but viewed
from the ultimate there is but one law
we are familiar with some of its
manifestations that are almost totally
ignorant of certain other ones still we
are learning a little more every day the
veil is being gradually lifted we speak
learnedly of the law of gravitation but
ignore that equally wonderful
manifestation the law of attraction in
the thought world we are familiar with
that wonderful manifestation of law
which draws and holds together the atoms
of which matter is composed we recognize
the power of the law that attracts
bodies to the earth that holds the
circling worlds in their places but we
close our eyes to the mighty law that
draws to us the things we desire or fear
that makes or Mars our lives when we
come to see that thought is a force a
manifestation of energy having a magnet
like power of attraction we will begin
to understand the why and wherefore are
many things that have heretofore seem
too dark to us there is no study that
will so will repay the student for his
time and trouble as the study of the
workings of this mighty law of the world
of thought the law of attraction when we
think we send out vibrations of a fine
ethereal substance which are as real as
the vibrations manifesting light heat
electricity magnetism but these
vibrations are not evident to our five
senses is no proof that they do not
exist a powerful magnet will send out
vibrations and exert a force sufficient
to attract to itself a piece of steel
weigh a hundred pounds but we can know
they see taste smell here nor feel the
94
these thoughts I Bray shins likewise
cannot be seen tasted smelled heard or
felt in the ordinary way although it is
true they are on record cases and
persons peculiarly sensitive to psychic
impressions who will perceive powerful
thought waves and very many of us can
testify that we have distinctly felt the
thought vibrations of others because
whilst in the presence of the sender and
at a distance telepathy and its kindred
phenomena are not idle dreams light and
heat are manifested by vibrations of a
far lower intensity than those of
thought but the difference is solely in
the rate of vibration the annals of
sides throw an interesting life on this
question professor Elisha gray an
eminent scientist says in his little
book the miracles of nature there is
much food for speculation in the thought
that there exists sound waves that no
human ear can hear and color ways of
life that no I can see the long dark
soundless space between 40,000 and 400
thousand billion vibrations per second
and the infinity of range beyond seven
hundred thousand billion vibrations per
second where light seasons in the
universe of motion makes it possible to
indulge in speculation mmm Williams in
his work entitled short chapters in
science says there is no relation
between the most rapid undulations or
tremblings that produce our sensation of
sound and the slowest of those which
give rise to our sensations of gentlest
warm there is a huge gap between them
wide enough to include another world of
motion all lying between our world of
sound and our world of heat and light
and there is no good reason whatever for
supposing that matter is incapable of
such intermediate activity or that such
activity may not give rise to
intermediate sensations provided there
are organs for taking up and sensor
fiying their movements ice ice the above
authorities merely to give you food for
thought not to attempt
demonstrate to you the fact that thought
vibrations exist the last name fact has
been fully established to the
satisfaction of numerous investigators
of the subject and a little reflection
will show you that it coincides with
your own experiences we often he
repeated the well-known mental science
statement thoughts are things we say
these words / without consciously
realizing just what is the meaning of
the statement if we fully comprehended
the truth of the statement and the
natural consequences of the truth back
of it we should understand many things
that have appeared dark to us and we'll
be able to use the wonderful power
thought force just as we use any other
manifestation of energy as I've said
when we think we set into motion
vibrations a very high degree but just
as real as vibrations of light heat
sound electricity and when we understand
the laws governing the production and
transmission of these vibrations we will
be able to use them in our daily life
just as we do the better known forms of
energy that we cannot see here weigh or
measure these vibrations is no proof but
they do not exist there exists waves of
sound which no human ear can hear
although some of these are undoubtedly
registered by the ear of some of the
insects and others are caught by
delicate scientific instruments invented
by man yet there is a great gap between
the sounds registered by the most
delicate instrument and the limit which
man's mind reasoning by analogy knows to
be the boundary line between sound waves
and some other forms of vibration and
there are light waves which the eye of
man does not register some of which may
be detected by more delicate instruments
and many more so fine that the
instrument has not yet been invented
which will detect them although
improvements are being made every year
and the unexplored field gradually
lessened as new instruments are invented
new vibrations are registered by them
and yet the vibrations were just as real
before the invention of the instrument
as after ward
supposing that we had no instruments to
register magnetism one might be
justified in denying the existence of
that mighty force because it could not
be tasted felt smelt heard seen Wade or
measured and yet the mighty magnet would
still send out waves of force sufficient
to draw to it pieces of steel weighing
hundreds of pounds each form of
vibration requires its own form of
instrument for registration at present
the human brain seems to be the only
instrument capable of registering
thought waves although of cultures say
that in this century scientists wanna
invent apparatus sufficiently delicate
to catch and register such impressions
and from present indications it looks as
if the invention named might be expected
at any time the demand exists and
undoubtedly will be soon supplied but to
those who have experimented along the
lives of practical telepathy no further
proof is required than the results of
their own experiments we are sending out
thoughts of greater or less intensity
all the time and we are reaping the
results of such thoughts not only do our
thought waves influence ourselves and
others but they have a drawing power
they attract us the thoughts of others
things circumstances people luck in
accord with the character of the thought
uppermost in our minds thoughts of love
will attract to us the love of others
circumstances and surroundings in accord
with the thought people who are of like
thought thoughts of anger hate Envy
malice and a jealousy will draw to us
the foul brood of kindred thoughts
emanating from the minds of others
circumstances in which will be called
upon manifests those vile thoughts and
will receive them in turn from others
people who are manifest in harmony and
so on a strong thought or a thought
long-continued will make us the center
of attraction for the corresponding
thought waves of others like attracts
like in the thought well as you sow so
shall you reap
birds of a feather flock together in the
thought world curses like chickens come
home to roost and bringing their friends
with them the man or woman who has
filled with love sees love on all sides
and attracts the love of others the man
with hate in his heart it's all the hate
he can stand the man who thinks fight
Jerry runs up against all the fact he
wants before he gets through and so it
goes each gets what he calls forth over
the wireless telegraphy of the mind the
man who rises in the morning feeling
grumpy usually manages to have the whole
family in the same mood before the
breakfast is over the nagging woman
generally finds enough to satisfy her
nagging propensity during the day this
matter of thought attraction is a
serious one when you stop to think of it
you will see that a man really makes his
own surroundings although he blames
others for it I have known people who
understood this law to hold a positive
calm thought and be absolutely
unaffected by the in harmony surrounding
they like the vessel from which the oil
had been poured on the troubled waters
they rested safely and calmly while the
tempest raged around them one is not the
mercy of the fitful storms of thought
after he has learned the workings of the
law we have passed through the age of
physical force on to the age of
intellectual supremacy and are now
entering a new and almost unknown field
that of psychic power this field of
energy has its established laws as well
as have the others and we should
acquaint ourselves with them or we will
be crowded to the wall as are the
ignorant on the plains of effort I will
endeavor to make plain to you the great
underlying principles of this new field
of energy which is opening up before us
that you may be able to make use of this
great power and apply it for legitimate
and worthy purposes just as many using
steam electricity and other forms of
energy today
