"The God in You" by Robert Collier ![]() Order in Adobe PDF eBook or printed form for $5.95 (+ printing charge) or click here to order from Amazon.com for $14.00 Book Description A series of seven lessons teaching the reader that he is one with the great "I AM" of the universe and a part of God. The author believes that until you realize that and the power it gives you, you will not know God. Collier states there is a God in you that will carry you and in the doing of it, will provide you with every good thing this world can supply. He hopes to help the reader find the God within you, the God nobody yet knows. PROLOGUE WHY IS IT that most of the great men of the world, most of the unusually successful men, started life under a handicap? Demosthenes, the greatest orator the ancient world produced, stuttered! The first time he tried to make a public speech, he was laughed off the rostrum. Julius Caesar was an epileptic. Napoleon was of humble parentage, and so poor that it was with the greatest difficulty that he got his appointment to the Military Academy. Far from being a born genius, he stood forty-sixth in his class at the Military Academy. And there were only sixty-five in the class. His shortness of stature and extreme poverty discouraged him to such an extent that in his early letters to friends, he frequently referred to thoughts of suicide. Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson and a number of our Presidents started life in the poorest and humblest of homes, with little education and no advantages. Stewart, who started what is now the John Wanamaker Store, came to New York with $1.50 in his pocket, and no place where he could hope to get more until he himself earned it. Thomas Edison was a newsboy on trains. Andrew Carnegie started work at $4 a month. John D. Rockefeller at about $6 a week. Reza Khan, who became Shah of Persia, started as an ordinary trooper in the Persian army. Mustapha Kemal, Ruler of Turkey, was an unknown officer in the Turkish army. Ebert, first President of Germany after World War I, was a saddle maker. A number of our own Presidents were born in log cabins, without money, without education. Sandow, the strongest man of his time, started life as a weakling. Annette Kellerman was lame and sickly, yet she became diving champion and one of the world's most perfectly formed women. George Jowett was lame and a weakling until he was eleven years old. An older boy bullied him and beat him until he aroused such a feeling of resentment in young Jowett that he determined to work and exercise until he could pay back that bully in kind. In two years, he was able to beat the bully. In ten years, he was the world's strongest man! Why is it that men with such handicaps can outstrip all of those naturally favored by Nature? Why is it that the well-educated, well-trained men, with wealthy and influential friends to help them, are so often pushed aside, to make way for some "nobody" whose family no one ever heard of, but whose sheer ability and force make him a power to be reckoned with? Why? Because men with early advantages are taught to look to material things for success ... to riches or friends or influence or their own training or abilities. And when these fail them, they are at a loss where to turn next. But when a man has no special skill or ability or riches or influence he has to look to something outside these for success, something beyond material means. So he turns to the God in him, to his cell of the God-Mind, and of that cell he demands that it bring him fame or fortune or power or position. What is more, if he continues to demand it with persistent faith, HE GETS IT! You see, in every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time. The turning point in the lives of most successful men has come at some moment of crisis, when everything looked dark, when there seemed no way out. That was when they turned to their inner selves, when they gave up hope in material means and looked to the God in them for help. That was when they were able to turn each stumbling block into a stepping-stone to success.
You are one with the great "I AM" of the universe. You are part of God. Until you realize that—and the power it gives you—you will never know God. "We are parts of one
stupendous
whole,
whose body Nature is, and God the soul." God has incarnated Himself in man. He seeks expression. Give Him work to do through you, give Him a chance to express Himself in some useful way, and there is nothing beyond your powers to do or to attain. It matters not what your age, what your present circumstances or position. If you will seek your help outside your merely physical self, if you will put the God in you into some worthwhile endeavor, and then BELIEVE in Him, you can overcome any poverty, any handicap, any untoward circumstance. Relying upon your personal abilities or riches or friends is being like the heathen of old, whom the Prophet of the Lord taunted. "You have a God whom you must carry," he derided them. "We have a God who carries us!" The God of personal ability or material riches or friends is one that you must continually carry. Drop him, and immediately you lose everything. But there is a God in you who will carry you—and in the doing of it, provide you with every good thing this world can supply. The purpose of this book is to acquaint you with this God in you, The God That Only The Fortunate Few Know.
Some might think that merely a poet's dream, but along comes Dr. J. B. Rhine of Duke University to prove it scientific fact as well. In his book "The Reach of the Mind," Dr. Rhine points out that in the past, Science seemed to feel that man was entirely material. It had discovered how glands regulate personality through their chemical secretions; it had shown that the child mind matures only as the brain develops; that certain mental functions are linked with specific areas of the brain, and that if one of these is injured, the corresponding mental function is lost. So Science believed that it had accounted for all the processes of thought and action, that it could show a material basis for each. But now Dr. Rhine and other experimenters have proved that knowledge can be acquired without the use of the senses! Not only that, but they have also proved that the powers of the mind are not bound by space or limited by time! Perhaps their greatest discovery is that the mind can influence matter without physical means. This has been done through prayer, of course, since time began, but such results have always been looked upon as supernatural. Dr. Rhine and other experimenters show that any normal person has the power to influence objects and events. To quote "The Reach of the Mind"—"As a result of thousands of experimental trials, we found it to be a fact that the mind has a force that can act on matter, . . . There must, therefore, be an energy convertible to physical action, a mental energy," The one great essential to the successful use of this mental energy seems to be intense interest or desire. The more keyed up a person is, the more eager for results, the more he can influence those results. Dr. Rhine showed through many experiments that when the subject's interest is distracted, when he lacks ability to concentrate his attention, his mental energy has little or no power over outside objects. It is only as he gives his entire attention to the object in mind, as he concentrates his every energy upon it, that he gets successful results. Dr. Rhine's experiments prove scientifically what we have always believed—that there is a Power over and above the merely physical power of the mind or body, that through intense concentration or desire we can link up with that Power, and that once we do, nothing is impossible to us. It means, in short, that man is not at the mercy of blind chance or Fate, that he can control his own destiny. Science is at last proving what Religion has taught from the beginning—that God gave man dominion and that he has only to understand and use this dominion to become the Master of his Fate, the Captain of his Soul.
Chapter 1
THE GOD IN YOU THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE starts with the preamble that all men are born free and equal. But how many believe that? When one child is born in a Park Avenue home, with doctors and nurses and servants to attend to his slightest want, with tutors and colleges to educate him, with riches and influence to start him in his career, how can he be said to be born equal to the child of the Ghetto, who has difficulty getting enough air to breathe, to say nothing of food to eat, and whose waking hours are so taken up with the struggle for existence that he has no time to acquire much in the way of education! Yet in that which counts most, these two are born equal, for they have equal access to the God in themselves, equal chance to give Him means of expression. More than that, the God in one is just as powerful as the God in the other, for both are part of that all-powerful God of the Universe who rules the world. In effect, we are each of us individual cells in the great Mind of the universe—the God Mind. We can draw upon the Mind of the Universe in exactly the same way that any cell in our own body draws upon our brain for whatever it needs outside its immediate surroundings. All men are born free and equal, just as all the cells in your body are equal. Some of these cells may seem to be more fortunately situated than others, being placed in fatty portions of the body where they are so surrounded with nourishment that they seem assured of everything they can need for their natural lives. Others may be in hard-worked parts where they are continually having to draw upon the lymph around them, and through it upon the blood stream and the heart, and where it seems as though they cannot be sure of sustenance from one day to the next. Still others may be in little-used and apparently forgotten parts where they seem to have been left to dry up and starve, as in the scalp of the head when the hair falls out and the fatty tissue of the scalp dries, leaving the cells there to shrivel and die. Yet despite their apparent differences in surroundings and opportunity, all these cells are equal, all can draw upon every element in the body for sustenance at need. To see how it is done, let us take a single nerve cell in our own brain, and see how it works. Look up the diagram of a typical nerve cell in any medical work, and what do you find? From one side of the cell, a long fibre extends which makes connection with some part of the skin, or some group of cells such as a muscle. This fibre is part of the nerve cell. It is the telephone line, carrying orders or stimuli from the cell to the muscle it controls, or from the sensory nerve in the skin to the cell in the brain. Thoughts, emotions, desires, all send impulses to the nerves controlling the muscles concerned, and provide the stimuli which set these muscles in action, thus transforming nervous energy into muscular energy. So if you have a desire which requires the action of only a single muscle, what happens? Your desire takes the form of an impulse to the nerve cell controlling that muscle, the order travels along the cell-fibre to the muscle, which promptly acts in accord with the stimulus given it. And your desire is satisfied. But suppose your desire requires the action of more than one muscle? Suppose it needs the united power of every muscle in the body? So far we have used only the long nerve fibre or telephone line connecting the nerve cell with the muscle it controls. But on the other side of each nerve cell are short fibres, apparently ending in space. And as long as the nerves are at rest, these fibres do lie in space. But when you stir up the nerve cells, when you give them a job that is greater than the muscles at their command can manage, then these short fibres go into action. Then they bestir themselves to some purpose. They dig into the nerve cells near them. They wake these and stimulate them in turn to stir up those on the other sides of them until, if necessary, every cell in the brain is twitching, and every muscle in the body working to accomplish the job you command. That is what happens in your body if even a single cell in your brain desires something strongly enough, persistently enough, to hold to its purpose until it gets what it wants. And that is what happens in the God-body when you put the same persistence into your desires. You see, you are a cell in the God-body of the Universe, just as every cell in you is a part of your body. When you work with your hands, your feet, your muscles, you are using only the muscles immediately connected with your brain cells. When you work with the money you have, the riches or friends or influence you control, you are using only the means immediately connected to your brain cell in the mind of God. And that is so infinitesimally small a part of the means and resources at the command of that Great God-mind. It is just as though you tried to do all the work required of your body today by using only the tiniest muscle in your little finger, when by stirring up the surrounding nerve cells, you could just as well draw upon the power of the whole mind, or of the entire body if that were needed. It is as though one of your nerve cells undertook to do the work of the whole body, and tried, with the single muscle at its command, to do it! You'd think that foolish, if one tiny nerve cell out of the billions in your brain, undertook any such gigantic job. You'd know it was hopeless . . . that no one cell, and no one muscle, could ever accomplish all that work. Yet you, as a single cell in the God-mind, have often attempted just as impossible jobs. When all you had to do to accomplish everything you desired was to stir into action the cells around you! How can you do this? In the same way that any cell in your own brain does It. Pray! In other words, get an urgent, insistent desire. The first principle of success is DESIRE—knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed. It needs cultivation, of course, but the first important step is the PLANTING. Desire stirs the nerve cells in your brain to use the muscles under their control to do the work required of them. Desire will set your nerve cell in the God-mind vibrating, using the muscle under its command and stirring into action all the nerve-cells around it until they, too, are working with you to bring about the thing you wish. That is the reason it was said in the Vedas thousands of years ago that if any two people would unite their psychic forces, they could conquer the world! That is the reason Jesus told us—"If two of you shall agree as touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done unto them. For when two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them, and I shall grant their request." When two or more nerve cells unite for a certain action, they get that action, even if to bring it about they have to draw upon every cell in the whole body for help! This does not mean that anything is impossible to a single cell or a single person—merely that when two or more are united for a common purpose, the results are easier. But there is no good thing any man can ask, believing, that he cannot get. In the first chapter of Genesis, it is written that God gave man dominion over the earth. And it is true. It is just as true as that any nerve cell in your whole body has dominion over your body. If you doubt it, let one nerve be sufficiently irritated, and see how quickly it puts every nerve in your body to work to remove that irritation. One nerve cell in your body, with a strongly held purpose, can bring into action every cell in your body to accomplish that purpose. One nerve cell in the God-body (in other words, one man or woman) with a strongly held purpose, can bring into action every cell m the Universe, if these be necessary to the accomplishment of that purpose! Does that mean anything to you ? Does it mean anything to know that the words of prophets and seers are true, that the promises of the Scriptures can be depended upon, that there really is a Power in the Universe that responds to the urge of the lowliest man or woman just as readily as to the command of the highest? The world is yours! It matters not whether you be prince or pauper, blue-blooded or red, white-skinned, black, yellow or brown. The God-body of the Universe makes no more distinction between cells than do you in responding to the impulses of the nerve-cells in your own body. Rich or poor—it's all one to you. Highly placed or low—one can cause you as much trouble, or give you as great satisfaction, as another. And the same is true of the God-body of the Universe. All men are created free and equal. All remain free and equal nerve cells in the God-mind of the Universe. The only difference lies in our understanding of the power that is ours. How much understanding have you? And what are you doing to increase it? "Seek first understanding, and all things else shall be added unto you." Easier to believe that now, isn't it? With the right understanding, you could run the world. Can you think of anything more important than acquiring understanding? What turned the complaining, discouraged, poverty-stricken and quite ordinary young Bonaparte into the greatest military genius of his age, "Man of Destiny" and master of most of Europe? The Talisman of Napoleon, the Talisman of every great and successful man, the only Talisman that will stir the whole body of the Universe into action, is the same Talisman as that needed to put the entire physical body at the service of any one nerve cell—a purpose so strongly held that life or death or anything else seems of small consequence beside it! A purpose—and the persistent determination to hold to it until it is accomplished. Love sometimes makes such a Talisman—the love that goes out to dare all and do all for the loved one. Greed oftentimes brings it into being—hence many of the great fortunes of today. The lust for power is a potent Talisman, that has animated men since time began. Greater still is the zeal of one who would convert the world. That Talisman has carried men through fire and flood, into every danger and over every obstacle. Look how Mohammed, a lowly camel driver, became the ruler of and prophet to millions. Faith in charms, belief in luck, utter confidence in another's leadership, all are Talismans of greater or lesser power. But the greatest of all is belief in the God inside YOU! Belief in its power to draw to itself every element it needs for expression. Belief in a definite PURPOSE it came here to fulfill, and which can be fulfilled only through YOU! Have you such a faith? If not, get it! For without such a faith, life is purposeless, meaningless. What is more, until you lay hold of that Talisman, life will never bring anything worthwhile to you! What was it won for Grant over his more brilliant opponents? The grim, dogged, persistent purpose to fight it out along those lines if it took all summer! What is it that has made England victor in so many of her wars, in spite of inept leadership and costly blunders? That same bull-dog determination, which holds on in spite of all reverses and discouragements, until its fight is won. What was it that wore quit the unjust judge, in the parable that Jesus told? "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that man ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying, "There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man; " 'And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, "Avenge me on mine adversary.' " " 'And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, "Though I fear not God, nor regard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me." ' " 'And the Lord said, 'Hear what the unjust judge saith. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them ?' " If the nerve in a tooth keeps crying out that a cavity in that tooth needs attention, won't you finally drop everything and seek out a dentist who can satisfy that nerve's needs? And if any other nerve prays continuously for attention, won't you do likewise with it ? Well, you are a nerve in the God-body. If you have an urgent need, and keep praying and insisting and demanding the remedy, don't you suppose you will get it just as surely? A definite purpose, held to in the face of every discouragement and failure, in spite of all obstacles and opposition, will win no matter what the odds. It is the one nerve cell working against the indifference, the inertia or even the active opposition of the entire group. If the cell is easily discouraged, it will fail. If it is willing to wait indefinitely, it will have to wait. But if it keeps stirring up the cells next to it, and stimulating them to stir those beyond, eventually the entire nerve system will go into action and bring about the result that single cell desires—even if it be only to rid itself of the constant irritation. You have seen young fellows determined to go to college. You have thought them foolish, in the face of the obstacles facing them. Yet when they persisted, you know how often those obstacles have one by one magically disappeared, until presently they found themselves with the fruition of their desires. A strongly held purpose, persisted in, believed in, is as sure to win in the end as the morrow's sun is to rise. And earnest prayer is to the God-body what a throbbing nerve is to yours. Hold to it, insist upon it, and it is just as sure of a hearing. But remember: "He that wavereth is like the wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed; yet not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." All are born free and equal. All may not start with the same amount of wealth or opportunity immediately available to them, but all can go to the Source of these and get just as much of them as is necessary to satisfy their desires. We are surrounded by riches. We have available unlimited wealth. But we have to learn how to draw it to us. Years ago, at Kimberley in South Africa, a poor Boer farmer tried to glean a living out of the rocky soil. His boys oftentimes picked up pieces of dirty looking crystal and used them as pebbles to throw at some wandering sheep. After years of fruitless effort, the farmer abandoned his attempts to make a living out of this rocky soil, and moved to a more fertile spot. Today, the farm he tried so hard to cultivate is the site of the Kimberley Diamond Mines, one of the richest spots on the face of the globe. And the bits of dirty crystal that his boys threw at the sheep turned out to be diamonds in the rough! Most of us are like that poor Boer farmer. We strive and struggle, and frequently give up, because of ignorance of our powers, ignorance of the good things around us. We remain in poverty until along comes someone and shows that we were standing on a diamond mine all the time. Russell Conwell tells the story of a Pennsylvania farmer whose brother went to Canada and became an oil driller. Fired with the brother's tales of sudden wealth, the farmer sold his land and went to Canada to make his fortune. The new owner, in looking over the farm, found that where the cattle came to drink from a little creek, a hoard had been put across the water to hold back a heavy scum which was washed down by the rains from the ground above. He examined this scum, and thought it smelled like oil. So he had some experts come out and look the ground over. It proved to be one of the richest oil fields in the state of Pennsylvania. What riches are you overlooking? What opportunities? "Opportunity," says a famous writer, "Is like oxygen. It is so plentiful that we fairly breathe it." All that is necessary is a receptive mind, a willingness to try, and the persistence to see things through. There is some one thing that YOU can do better than anyone else. There is some line of work in which you can excel—if you will just find that one thing and spend all your time and effort in learning to do it supremely well. Don't worry if it seems to be some humble thing that anyone ought to be able to do. In a magazine some time ago, there was the story of a Polish immigrant who could speak scarcely a word of English, who had no trade or training and had to take any sort of job that offered. He happened to get one in a nursery, digging up dirt for the flowers. He dug so well that soon he was attending to the planting of many of the commoner varieties of flowers. Among these were the peonies. He loved those big peonies, gave them such careful attention that they thrived and grew more beautiful than ever. Soon his peonies began to attract attention, the demand for them grew, until he had to double and then quadruple the space devoted to them. Today he is half owner of that nursery. Two artists opened an office together, doing any kind of work they could get. One noticed that wherever he happened to do cartoons for people, the results were so effective that they came back for more. So he made an especial study of cartoon drawing. Today his earnings are in the $25,000 class, while his fellow artist is still barely making ends meet as a jack of all trades. A retail clerk found that she had a special gift for satisfying complaining customers. She liked to straighten out the snarls that others had caused, and she did it so well that she soon attracted the attention of her employers. Today she is head of the complaint department. There is the switchboard operator with the pleasing voice, the reception clerk with the cheery smile, the salesman with the convincing manner, the secretary with the knack of saving the boss' time, the drummer with the jolly manner. Every one of us has something. Find out what one thing you can do best, cultivate it and you can be the biggest man in that line in the world. Success is where you are and within yourself. Don't try to imitate what someone else is doing. Develop what YOU have. There is something in you that will enable you to reach the top in some one line. Put the spot light on our own characteristics, your own abilities. Find what you can do best, what people like you best for. Then cultivate that. When the great Comstock Lode was first discovered, a fortune was taken out of it. Then the ore petered out. The owners presently gave up and sold out to a new troop. These men spent several hundred thousand dollars in a fruitless attempt to locate the rich lode, and they too were ready to give up. But someone thought to try a bore hole to the side of one of the entries, and struck an almost solid mass of ore so rich that nearly $300,000,000 was taken from it. In the early days of the prairie farms, newcomers were frequently able to buy for a song the homesteads of the original settlers, because the latter had been able to find no water. They had dug wells, but had been unable to reach the streams beneath. Oftentimes, however, by digging only a few feet further, the newcomers found water in abundance. The first settlers had quit when success was almost within their grasp. The greatest success usually comes from one step beyond the point where defeat overtook you. "He who loses wealth, loses much," says an old proverb. "He who loses a friend, loses more. But he who loses his courage, loses everything." Three things educators try to instill into children are: 1st—Knowledge 2nd—Judgment 3rd—Persistence And the greatest of these is Persistence. Many a man has succeeded without education. Many even without good judgment. But none has ever got anywhere worthwhile without persistence. Without a strong desire, without that inner urge which pushes him on, over obstacles, through discouragements, to the goal of his heart's desire. "Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence," said Calvin Coolidge. "Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." Russell Conwell, the famous educator and lecturer who founded Temple University, gathered statistics some years ago on those who succeed, and his figures showed that of 4043 multimillionaires in this country at that time, only 69 had even a High School education. They lacked money, they lacked training, but they had the URGE to get somewhere, the persistence to keep trying . . . and they succeeded! Compare that with the figures Conwell gathered on the sons of rich men. Only one in seventeen died wealthy! Lacking incentive, having no urge within them to get ahead, they not only failed to make their mark, but they lost what they had. The first essential of success is a feeling of lack, a need, a desire for something you have not got. It is the powerlessness of the cripple or invalid that makes him long for strength, gives him the necessary persistence to work for it until he gets it. It is the poverty and misery of their existence that makes the children of the Ghetto long for wealth, and gives them the persistence and determination to work at anything until they get it. Yon need that same urgent desire, that same determination and persistence if you are to get what you want from life. You need to realize that whatever it is you want in life, it is there for the taking. You need to know that you are a cell in the God-mind, and that through this God-mind you can put the whole Universe to work, if necessary, to bring about the accomplishment of your desire. But don't waste that vast power on trifles. Don't be like the fable of the woodsman who, having worked long and hard for the wishing Fairy and accomplished the task she set him, was told that he might have in reward any three things he asked for. Being very hungry, he promptly asked for a good meal. That eaten, he noticed that the wind was blowing up cold, so he asked for a warm cloak. With his stomach full and a warm cloak about him, he felt sleepy, so he asked for a comfortable bed to lie upon. And so, with every good thing of the world his for the asking, the next day found him with only a warm cloak to show for his labors. Most of us are like that. We put the mountain in labor, just to bring forth a mouse. We strive and strain, and draw upon all the powers that have been given us, to accomplish some trifling thing that leaves us just where we were before. Demand much! Set a worthwhile goal. Remember the old poem by Jessie B. Rittenhouse from "The Door of Dreams":
Don't you be foolish like that. Don't bargain with Life for a penny. Ask for something worth putting the Universe to work for. Ask for it, demand it—then stick to that demand with persistence and determination until the whole God-mind HAS to bestir itself to give you what you want. The purpose of Life from the very beginning has been dominion——dominion over every adverse circumstance. And through his part of dominion, his nerve-cell in the Mind of God and his ability through it to get whatever action he may persistently demand—man HAS dominion over everything. There is a Spark of Divinity in YOU. What are you doing to fan it into flame? Are you giving it a chance to grow, to express itself, to become an all-consuming fire? Are you giving it work to do? Are you making it seek out ever greater worlds to conquer? Or are you letting it slumber neglected, or perhaps even smothering it with doubt and fear? "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let him have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."

The seeds are now being sown which will in time germinate into a wonderful harvest for the coming generations. The books featured on the PAN100 web-stores deal with all types of human problems: from overcoming shyness and fear to becoming more assertive; from controlling anger and temper to overcoming addictions; from dealing with difficult people to unlocking the genius within; from overcoming negative thinking to utilizing the law of attraction for better health and wealth; from developing better concentration to finding the ideal partner in life; from becoming an effective sales man or woman to becoming a powerful and charismatic public speaker; from gaining self-confidence to expressing one's creativity. Many of the PAN100 audios and ebooks contain modern interpretations of the type of practical psychology that was originally taught by the New Thought leaders and writers of old such as Ralph Waldo Trine, Thomas Troward, William Walker Atkinson, Orison Swett Marden, James Allen, Wallace Wattles, Christian D. Larson, Ernest Holmes, Robert Collier, Emmet Fox, Florence Scovel Shinn, etc. By introducing readers and listeners to these principles in a modern language and style that they can easily understand it is hoped that these same readers and listeners will eventually become interested in the original source material in the same way that Rhonda Byrne of "The Secret" fame did when she first discovered the wonderful New Thought teachings, and may then go on to spread this knowledge to an ever-widening worldwide audience in a similar way that great people like Elizabeth Towne and Robert Collier dedicated their selves to doing in the past. Why is it called the PAN100 program? Because we at the Prosperity Affiliates Network are giving our affiliates the opportunity to earn 100% from every sale which is virtually unheard of in affiliate marketing programs upto now, and the reason we are doing this is to provide them with a great incentive to promote their web-stores and thereby help to spread the knowledge contained in these audios and ebooks around the world. FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE SELF-HELP WEBSITES PAN100 web-stores are fully customizable, and included in the membership package is webpage creator software, website templates, graphics, etc., etc.; in fact everything you need to create professional-looking web pages yourself in order to add your own additional products, articles, etc., if you wish to give your web-store that personal touch. On the other hand you may not have the time or inclination to create your own web pages at the moment, in which case you can just leave the web-store exactly as it is: ![]() Click here

VERY SIMPLE TO RUN ONLINE BUSINESS To take part in the PAN100 Power Affiliate program and earn 100% from every sale, all you need is a PayPal account (a Business or Premier account is recommended), which costs nothing at all to open. If you don't already have a PayPal account you can open one right away by clicking here. If for some reason you are unable to open a PayPal account you can still become the owner of a PAN100 web-store, and if you contact us we will explain to you exactly how.
PAN100 web-stores come fully stocked with over ninety high quality self-help audio and ebook products, and we add two or three new products each month. The retail value of this inventory is well over $1000, and growing every month. When a customer makes a purchase from your PAN100 web-store you receive their payment directly into your PayPal account the moment the sale is made. You receive 100% of the sale price minus PayPal's payment processing fee of around 4%. Once they have paid, our automated system provides your customer with their download details immediately and sends them an email with their download information also. At the same time, PayPal email you, the web-store owner, with notification that the sale has been made and provide you with details of what was purchased together with the customer's contact details. There really is nothing at all to running this online business as everything is done for you automatically. Your web-store comes fully stocked with quality audio books and ebooks. We digitally deliver all the products to your customers ourselves. We even provide after sales support for your customers. All you need to do is advertise your web-store and wait for the orders to come rolling in! Once money starts to accumulate in your PayPal account you can either transfer it to your bank account or PayPal can send you a check on request, or you can apply for a PayPal Visa/Mastercard debit card and make purchases virtually anywhere in the world using it. ADDITIONAL AFFILIATE REVENUE Whenever a customer purchases a product from your web-store they will also be presented with a One-Time-Offer (OTO) to purchase an additional package of self-improvement ebooks for $29 or $39. If they decide to purchase the OTO bundle you will receive the proceeds from every other sale of it (each alternate sale) directly into your PayPal account also. Likewise, in the right-hand menu column of each page of your web-store you will see there is a "Special Offers" section, and you will receive 50 percent of the proceeds from the purchase of these products also. As time goes on we will be adding more products to this Special Offers section. This will be a great source of additional affiliate revenue for you, as the Special Offer products are all best sellers! MEMBERS-ONLY AREA WITH VALUABLE CONTENT Once you have enrolled into the program you will be given unlimited access to the PAN100 members' area where you will find over 1000 professionally written self-help articles as well as many audios similar to those featured on the demo site above which you can use any way you like. You can compile these articles into individual ebooks and offer them as free downloads to visitors of your web-store if you wish, and we will supply you with the PDF creator software needed to enable you to achieve this very easily. In the members' area you will also have access to a large range of tutorials including video tutorials to help you get started, plus lots of downloadable software, ebooks, etc., many of which come with full resale rights and ready-made sales web pages. You will also find tips on advertising your web-store and attracting visitors to it. We plan in the future to build a large online community of PAN100 web-store owners, and provide them with the opportunity to discuss all matters pertaining to the PAN100 program and the promotion of New Thought ideas generally via a member's forum. LOW STARTUP COSTS AND MEMBERSHIP FEE Membership to the PAN100 Power Affiliate program normally costs $47 per month which includes domain rental, website hosting (with 10 gigabytes of file storage/300 gigabytes of monthly bandwidth), maintenance and support, plus unlimited access to a members' area featuring hundreds of dollars' worth of additional resellable ebooks and software products, many of which include ready-made sales web pages, plus a huge array of other valuable resources including over 1000 self-help articles and mp3's that you can use in any way you wish. The membership fee automatically entitles you to receive 100% of the sale proceeds from the products listed on your web-store with no need to purchase anything at all in addition. There is also a one-time $20 setup fee payable when you first enroll. For a limited time, however, we are giving new members the opportunity to save $14 per month by paying annually instead of monthly. We are also waiving the $20 setup fee for annual subscribers, which amounts to a $188 saving in your first year of membership alone compared to the normal monthly membership rate, then a further $168 yearly saving after that. You will find full details of this special offer further down this page. THE BOOMING SELF-HELP INDUSTRY As you probably already know, the self-improvement industry is one of the most rapidly growing of all, you've only got to visit your local book store to see that for yourself, and this is your golden opportunity to have a part of this multi billion dollar industry without breaking the bank. Where else in the world could you purchase an easy to run store fully stocked with popular, readily saleable products that can be sold over and over again for a total investment of as little as $33 per month? We think that the earning potential of this new online business opportunity speaks for itself. As you can see from
the demo
web-store, most of the
ebooks listed in
the main part of the catalogue sell for $7.95, and
the
audio/ebook packages sell for $17.95. By selling just one or two
products per week you not only will cover your monthly membership cost
but will already be making a healthy profit on top! With the right
amount of
advertising and a little effort there is no reason why you should not
be able to sell ten or more products every day and earn a considerable
full-time or part-time income with this
unique online business opportunity.FREE PRODUCTS FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE As a PAN100 Power Affiliate you will automatically receive download links to all new product additions that we make to your web-store (2-3 each month). These are for your own personal use and enjoyment.* If you would like to purchase other products from your web-store you can do so at discounted wholesale prices, and you will be given details of how to do that after you join. Click here for another example of a fully operational demo web-store. This web-store is identical to the one that you could soon be owning! In the left-hand column of the web-store you will notice that there are presently a series of articles with audio. This area of the website is fully customizable, as is the main header graphic, introductory text, footer text, and background image of the web-store. You can also add products of your own to the main part of your web-store, above those currently shown in the catalogue, and can take part in the Google AdSense program if you wish to and generate additional income from your web-store - Every time someone clicks on one of the Google ads you will get paid! You can even change the Home Page entirely to a webpage of your own creating if you wish - You will be in full control of your website! QUALITY WEBSITE TRAFFIC PROVIDED No new business website survives for long without a constant stream of visitors to it, no matter how wonderful the products or services offered may be. Once your web-store is up and running you will be able to purchase quality targeted traffic from us at some of the lowest prices in the industry. We have partnered with one of the longest established advertising network providers of expired domain targeted website traffic in the world.

Seventeen good reasons why you should become a PAN100 Power Affiliate today:
GETTING STARTED First, you need to choose a domain name (web address) for your new web-store from the list of great domain names below. You can choose between two top-level domain name types - .com and .info - both of which are perfectly suited for informational type websites such as these. As one would expect, the choice of good available domain names ending with .com is much less than those with .info as many millions of .com domain names have been taken by people already over the years. One excellent way to broaden the available choice of .com domain names is to begin the name with www- so that rather than typing in www. you would type www- instead. As the vast majority of you web-store visitors will be clicking on a link in order to visit your web-store rather than manually keying in the website address in their web browser, it really makes little difference whether your domain name begins with www. or www- or has neither of these prefixes in front of the name itself. We have provided a broad selection of suitable domain names below for you to choose from, many of which will be ideally suited to those members wishing to adopt a specific theme for their web-store. A domain name like www.freeselfhelpadvice.info, for instance, would be a great choice for attracting visitors to your web-store via newspaper or magazine small ads as would www.onlineselfimprovement.info. In fact, domain names ending with .info like these are the perfect choice for including in adverts of all kinds as those that read them are much less likely to think you are just trying to sell them stuff. It is always an excellent practice to offer your site visitors something free to read or listen to or to download in return for visiting your web-store, as people are much more likely to make a purchase once they have received a free sample of what you have to offer. The domain names below are all already registered by us and ready for use, and if you choose one of these we will be able to have your new web-store up and running within a couple days. If you are unable to find a suitable domain name for your web-store listed below, you can choose one using the domain search engine link at the bottom of the list instead. Note: If you choose a domain name other than one listed below you will need to wait one to two weeks longer before your web-store is activated. If you prefer, you can register your own domain name elsewhere and use that for your web-store instead. If you decide to do that you should enroll into the program using the link below the list of domain names or click here to enroll. Once you have chosen one you like from the list below, click on the domain name and you will be redirected to PayPal where you will be required to pay $67 for your first months' PAN100 membership which includes a $20 one-time setup fee. You can pay this directly from your PayPal balance if you have sufficient funds available, or by debit or credit card if you prefer. Once your PayPal subscription has been created and the payment processed you will receive an email from us with a temporary password giving you immediate access to the PAN100 members' area. You will receive your web-store username and password with details of how to use your new web-store approximately 48 hours later once it has been set up.
We are
limiting the number of PAN100 web-stores to 1000 in total. This is a
strict limit we are imposing in order to protect the interests of the
web-store owners. Once we have 1000 active members, the doors will be
shut, and no
one else will be able to join even at ten times the current membership
cost.
This is not any type of sales hype that
we're giving you here, it is a fact and a truth,
so if you really want one of these online stores then it is important
that you act now and enroll right away before it is too late.This offer is limited to one web-store per person, in order to give everyone a fair chance. It is okay for other family members to purchase a web-store also, but we are limiting this offer to a maximum of three web-stores per household. Bear in mind also that there is no long-term commitment or obligation of any kind on your part by becoming a member, and that your monthly or annual membership fee will never be increased once you are a member. You are free to cancel your membership at any time, and you will have nothing more to pay. Furthermore, there are no complex, difficult to read and understand terms and conditions to agree to before joining. Our terms of service are in easy to understand, plain english and can be found at the foot of this webpage. As stated above, the regular cost of becoming a PAN100 Power Affiliate is $47 per month, plus there is a one-time setup fee of $20, however, if you act right away you can take advantage of the following limited-time reduced price offer:
![]() There are a great many affiliate programs out there, thousands in fact, and quite a large number in the self-help, self-improvement, personal development niche, and some of these offer good commission rates just for advertising their product or service without the need to purchase or spend anything at all yourself, but the main problem with most of these type of affiliate programs it that whilst you may be able to earn a reasonable amount of money from them to begin with, eventually the sales begin to dwindle and in time virtually dry up all together due to lack of variety and over exposure. You may be able to sell someone else's personal transformation course to people for $99 and earn $50 yourself for doing so for a while, but how many of these people are likely to come back and purchase more products from you? What else do you have to offer them even? This is what makes the PAN100 Power Affiliate program so unique and different to any other. Right away you will have a product range of 90+ self-help audios and ebooks to offer people that are realistically priced and easy to sell. Nearly all the products come with a bonus ebook making them superb value for money, and new products are added automatically to your web-store each and every month, so your customers are likely to keep returning and making further purchases indefinitely once they experience the true value of what you are offering. They are also likely to send their friends and loved ones to your web-store knowing that you have products available that will inspire them and help them overcome just about any human difficulty. Our money-back guarantee is a genuine one. If you can find a single affiliate or reseller program in the self-improvement, personal development niche that has longterm earning potential even approaching this one (which as you know offers you 100% commission on every sale), and that has a constantly updated product range like this one, and that offers affiliates a fully customizable sales website of their own, then please tell us about it and we will be more than happy to return every cent that you have paid us and give you free lifetime membership on top if what you are telling us about turns out to be true. Perhaps sometime in the future we will need to withdraw this money-back guarantee due to others duplicating our idea, but for the time being we are confident that you will not find another affiliate or reseller program anywhere on the Internet offering anything remotely similar to what this one offers, so for the time being this guarantee stands firm! If you have any questions or concerns, please use the contact form link at the foot of this webpage, where you will also find our privacy policy and terms of service. All online subscription payments are through PayPal who are the largest and one of the most trusted and secure online payment processors in the world today, so you can enroll into this program with confidence in the knowledge that if we fail to supply you with what you have paid for you can complain to PayPal and ask for a refund.
