KEY TO CHART NUMBER 3

1. Infinite Intelligence:
The source of all power of thought, available through
the subconscious mind only. Note that the chart shows
all departments of the mind entirely encircled by In-
finite Intelligence.

2. Subconscious Mind:
The connecting link between the conscious mind and In-
finite Intelligence. Not subject to ­self-​­discipline, but can
be stimulated by the means described in this chapter.

3. Faculty of Willpower:
“Boss” of all departments of the mind, with the power to
modify, change, or “balance” the actions of all mental
functions.

4. Faculty of Reason:
“Presiding judge” that may, if it is permitted, pass judg-
ment on all ideas, plans, and desires; but its decisions
can be set aside by the power of will, or offset by the
influence of the emotions when the will does not assert
itself.

5. Faculty of Emotions:
The seat of most of the actions of the mind, the source
of most of the thoughts released by the mind, and may
be very dangerous if not modified by the faculty of rea-
son, under the direction of the power of will.

6. Faculty of Imagination:
The builder of all plans, ideas, and ways and means of
attaining desired ends. Needs ­self-​­discipline and con-
stant direction of the power of will to avoid exagger-
ation.

7. Faculty of Conscience:
Moral guide of the mind whose chief function is that of
modifying the individual’s aims and purposes so they
harmonize with moral laws.

8. Intuition:
The “sixth sense” by which one makes decisions based
on subconscious information.

9. The Five Senses:

The physical “arms” of the brain through which it con-
tacts the external world and acquires information. The
senses are not reliable, and need constant discipline.
Under any form of highly emotional activity the senses
become confused and highly undependable, as in the
case of fear.

10. Memory:
The “filing cabinet” of the brain, wherein is stored all
thought impulses, all experiences, and all sensations
that reach the brain through the five physical senses.
Also undependable, and needs ­self-​­discipline for per-
fection.
