Book Description
Professor Clark shows the miraculous force of prayer in his life and exemplifies a technique of prayer that will offer practical aid and comfort to many people. In dealing with prayer, Clark argues that if we approach God in an attitude of patient anticipation, openness and receptivity, helpful ideas will often come to us fully developed.

In searching for the way in which Jesus viewed the world, Glenn Clark writes that he made the “greatest discovery” of his life. The story is told in The Soul’s Sincere Desire, in chapters 2 and 3: A Lost Art of Jesus, and, In the True Spirit. The Discovery: “…that Jesus’ attitude toward life was one of converting everything he saw and touched into parables…To look at life imaginatively…to see life truthfully, that is to say, spiritually… was an ‘art’ that Jesus mastered in such a magnificent manner.

Glenn Clark (1882-1956) was an English professor and highly successful athletic coach at Macalester College, a Presbyterian liberal arts college in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was deeply religious, and a great believer in prayer. He came to prominence with an article in the Atlantic Monthly, "The Soul's Sincere Desire". He began to be much in demand as a speaker, and in 1930 organized a summer camp in Koronis, MN, which he named "Camp Farthest Out". Here a group of congenial and serious-minded people met for a season of fellowship, relaxation and spiritual renewal under the direction of Dr. Clark. The camps multiplied; in 1961 there were forty-one across the country. In his autobiography, A Man's Reach, he tells how he was brought to an unusual interest in prayer through a series of experiences, and as a result prayer became his major concern and emphasis. His soul’s sincere desire was to know God experientially. This kept him seeking for a pattern by which this could be accomplished for himself and others. He authored over 50 books.

Introduction

THERE are some modern-day prophets who hold that truth, like light, is impersonal, infinite, universal, and eternal, and who rejoice that they are selfless channels by means of which its radiance may reach humankind. The most exalted of these covet no personal fame for themselves, deriving their reward rather from seeing the dawn they love steadily expand and increase into high noon and flood all the plain with light.

From such Olympian light-gatherers as these I have lit my torch. The only acknowledgment I can conceive of that seems at all worthy of such pure natures is the continued spreading of their light, that it may reach a larger circle and bring joy to a greater number.

Only a few of these light-givers came to me in the form of books. More have come to me as friends bearing gifts; still more have come as eager questioners; their very needs have brought into the light new conceptions, which, had not their hunger drawn them forth, might otherwise never have been revealed. But deserving of gratitude above all the rest, a gratitude that can never be repaid in words, is that silent band of men and women of many churches and many creeds, whose prayers have been a mighty force in bringing into manifestation Truth more exalted than the voice of him who utters it, and Light greater than the lamp that sends it forth.

Chapter 1

The Soul's Sincere Desire

I DO not know why God should have blessed me for the past three years with an almost continuous stream of answered prayer. Some of the answers were marvelous, many unexplainable, all of them joy-giving. But, greater than any particular blessing that came with any particular answer, greater than the combined blessings of all the combined answers was a gift, a blessing, that was so much larger, so much more inclusive than all the other special gifts that it encompassed all within itself. I refer to the peace and happiness and absolute liberation from the bondage of fear and anger and the life-destroying emotions that came to me and revealed to me the practicability of finding the Kingdom of Heaven m the practical world of men.

Concomitant with this great blessing came the impulse to share it with others — to pass it on that they too might have their burdens eased and their paths made smooth. But whenever I approached a friend to tell him how I prayed, my brain stumbled and words failed me. My method was so simple that it defied analysis. Like the air I breathed, it could not be captured and confined in any form.

So two years went by. Then one day, while walking home from college, a student said to me: "I wish very much that you would tell me how you pray. Won't you tell me sometime?" It suddenly occurred to me that this was the first time anyone had put that question to me. I do not know whether it is that every question has its own answer residing in it, just as every seed contains the entire life-plan of the completed plant; or whether the commands of Jesus, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you," were meant to be applied to questions we ask of each other as well as questions we ask of God when we do so in the spirit of Christian humility and love; but this I do know: late in the evening the answer to this question leaped full-fledged into my brain. For two years I had striven in vain to answer a question that no one had ever asked; and then in a twinkling, before a question asked in all sincerity and with honest purpose, the answer came.

The essay which follows contains the answer to that question. I wish to have it clearly understood, however, that I do not wish the method here described to become a formula. I offer it rather as an opening of doors and windows through which man's soul may find liberation from the confinement of the things which bind, and expand a bit to meet the ever-expanding love of God.

I find the frame for my method in the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm. I say "frame" because either one of these can be recited in less than half a minute, and a prayer such as we materialistically-minded moderns need is one which will demand at least fifteen minutes of our time.
In this day of the coliseum, the gymnasium, and the "daily dozen," I know it may sound impractical and visionary to suggest that the spirit deserves as much care as the body. But is not our spiritual health as important to our well-being as our physical health? Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment? Is not the kernel within the seed and the sap within the oak — in other words, that which is within, vitalizing, propelling the life processes — more important than that which is without and can be seen and touched?

Let me stand in the market place with the physical culturists and demand, as they demand, fifteen minutes of your time every day for two months. And while I hesitate to promise, as they promise, that at the end of that time you will find yourself a new man, this I can say: at the end of that time you will find yourself in a new world. You will find yourself in a friendly universe, where religion will no longer be a thing to be believed or disbelieved, a thing to be worn or cast off, but where religion will be a part of life as blood is a part of the body.

You will find yourself in a new world where your God no longer dwells in churches and meeting-places and forms and days, but where He governs every minute of every day of every year. You will find yourself in a new world where immortality will no longer be sought as something far away, to be found at some far distant time, for you will know that you are immortal now, and that the entire universe with all its good and with all its beauty belongs to you now and forever.

Let us take then, as our model, the zeal and steadfastness of the physical culturist, and utilize it in the field of the spirit. To associate these two fields in our mind will prove very helpful for our present purpose, for a prayer should be for the spirit exactly what calisthenics should be for the body — something to keep one in tune, fit, vital, efficient, and constantly ready for the next problem of life.

Now what are the underlying principles in Walter Camp's "daily dozen"?

1. The first principle is that the man shall stretch his muscles, as the caged lion stretches, whenever he can. And, mark you, the muscles that are seen are not so important as the muscles that are unseen — in the language of Walter Camp, "the muscles under the ribs." This should be the first principle of prayer also. One should first of all stretch the mind to take in God, not a one-sided, two-sided, or a three-sided view of God, but all. Moreover, this stretching should not be for the objective mind — which is where we can see and control it — so much as for the subjective mind, the mind that is out of sight, the mind that is "under the ribs."

The next principle underlying the daily dozen, as well as all other good setting-up exercises, is to breathe deeply and freely. There is nothing that clears the brain and avenues of circulation like breathing with eleven elevenths of the lungs and not with one eleventh — breathing out the old waste poisons and breathing in the new clear life from the atmosphere which surrounds us. "This should be the second step in our prayer;" We should pray out the bad and pray in the good; dismiss from our mind the trouble which seems imminent and restate emphatically the great promises of God; forgive the sinner and accept forgiveness for the sin.

The final phase of these exercises is that they should be kept up steadily, daily, until the habit of deep breathing has been transferred to the nervous system; in other words until it becomes an automatic habit, so that a man between jobs at his office unconsciously stretches his legs under the table and continues all day to breathe deeply and freely from the depths of his lungs. This is also the goal of all true prayer — to make the "stretching" of the mind to see God a continuous habit all through the day, to make the deep breathing of the soul — which mentally denies entrance of the bad thought to the brain and expands the good thought — a steady automatic habit of the subconsciousness. This is in accord with St. Paul's admonition, "Pray without ceasing."

As stated above, we find this "frame" suggested to us in the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm. The first phase — the expanding of the mind to take in all of God — is put very briefly in these short half-minute prayers; nevertheless, they were full of connotation for the ones to whom they were given. "The Lord is my shepherd." "Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name." Think of what the words "shepherd" and "Father" imply!

The second phase of prayer, the denial and affirmation, is suggested figuratively in the Psalm by "Thy rod and Thy staff," and the actual denials are given in very clear-cut form: "I shall not want," and "I will fear no evil." Each of these is followed by a series of affirmations. In the Lord's Prayer, this rhythmic handling of our problems is suggested by "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." This suggests the in-breathing and out-breathing of that prayer which is real communion with God.

The third phase — that is, keeping the prayer-thought as a continuing force throughout the day — is suggested very beautifully in both the examples we are using: "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever"; "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in Heaven." You can see in these statements a realization of the Kingdom here and now, about us, in whatever activity we may be engaged.

How then shall we apply these principles to our own prayers? Perhaps some examples may help here. The following may open your eyes a wee bit to the possibilities you yourself might work out in prayer.

Stretching the Mind to Take in All of God

1. Our Heavenly Father, we know that Thy Love is as infinite as the sky is infinite, and Thy Ways of manifesting that Love are as uncountable as the stars of the heavens.

2. Thy Power is greater than man's horizon, and Thy Ways of manifesting that Power are more numerous than the sands of the sea.

3. Thy Wisdom is greater than all hidden treasures, and yet as instantly available for our needs as the very ground beneath our feet.

4. Thy Joy is brighter than the sun at noonday and Thy Ways of expressing that Joy as countless as the sunbeams that shine upon our path.

5. Thy Peace is closer than the atmosphere that wraps us around, and as inescapable as the very air we breathe.

6. Thy Spirit is as pure as the morning dew, and yet as impervious to all that is unlike itself as the diamond which the dew represents.

7. As Thou keepest the stars in their courses, so shalt Thou guide our steps in perfect harmony, without clash or discord of any kind, if we but keep our trust in Thee. For we know Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. We know that, if we acknowledge Thee in all our ways, Thou wilt direct our paths. For Thou art the God of Love, Giver of every good and perfect gift, and there is none beside Thee. Thou art omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, in all, through all, and over all, the only God. And Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.

The Deep Breathing of the Soul

Before it is possible to breathe, one must be surrounded by atmosphere and atmosphere must be in one. Likewise, before it is possible to commune with God, which is a more conventional way of characterizing the deep breathing of the soul, one must know that God surrounds all and God is in all; that the Kingdom of Heaven is here and now.

As breathing is a mere rhythmic interchange of that which is within for that which is without, a casting-out of that which seems to be bad and a receiving, in its stead, of that which seems to be good, so the breathing of the soul is a casting-out of all that would poison, cramp, or belittle life — in short all that is unlike God, and a taking-in of all that is pure, perfect, and joyous, and which enriches life — in short, that which is like God.
Without question the very finest examples of this rhythmic communion with God are to be found in the Psalms of the Old Testament. And as our New England forefathers used to begin the day by offering a prayer and reading a Psalm, why can we not emulate their example and add to it perhaps just a touch of originality by offering a prayer and improvising a psalm? Indeed, is not the psalm as much a part of worship as a prayer, and is there any more reason why present-day worshipers should be limited to the collection of Psalms preserved for us in the Old Testament than that we should be limited in our prayers to the petitions preserved for us in Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the ancient Prophets?

The only new and revolutionizing idea that I am introducing into this discussion of prayer, in fact, is a plea for reinstating the psalm, the little brother of prayer, in our private and public worship. We find it now lost completely to our private worship and reduced to a mere form in our public worship. What I wish to see is the bringing of the psalm back in the form and manner that the old Psalmists themselves made use of, as a frank and spontaneous improvisation in the presence of a real need, an imminent calamity, a present sorrow — an actual outpouring of that particular need, trouble, or sorrow upon the outstretched arms of God, and the breathing in of His healing peace, comfort, and love. Such psalms were in themselves prayers — the finest and purest examples of prayer that the world has ever seen, of prayer which is dynamic and healing, of prayer which is a real communion with God.

As our first spiritual exercise of the morning was a stretching of the mind to take in God, so this is a breathing of the soul. And just as in physical breathing we give a quick expulsion of the poisons we wish to eliminate, and then drink in slowly of the new, fresh, life-giving, body-building ozone, holding it, first deep in the lungs, then high, turning it over, so to speak, till we have completely absorbed the life-giving oxygen, so we should give our denials with expulsive force, turning instantly to the constructive, soul-building affirmations. The trouble with most of our praying, as with our breathing, is that it is too negative. We shut ourselves up in a cramped little three-dimensional room with our negations, breathing in again and again the troubles that we should let vanish into thin air, instead of turning to new and fresh air — to God.

Marvelous results will come if one will turn in thought to God and Heaven, deny the existence m Heaven of the wrong thing felt or thought, and then realize that in God and Heaven the opposite condition prevails. One must dismiss from his mind completely the thought that the wrong thing felt or seen is permanent, and then follow instantly with the realization that the opposite condition exists here and now.

For money troubles, realize; There is no want in Heaven, and turn in thought to 1, 2, and 7 in Exercise I.

For poor health, realize: There is no sickness in Heaven, and affirm 1, 7, 6, 2 and 5.

For aid in thinking or writing, realize: There is no lack of ideas, and affirm 3 and 7.

For happiness: There is no unhappiness in Heaven, and affirm 1, 4, and 5.

For criticism and misunderstanding: There is no criticism in Heaven, and affirm 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

For friends: There is no lack of friends in Heaven, and affirm 1, 4, and 7.

For worry: There is no worry in Heaven, and affirm 4, 5, and 7.

This is the kind of prayer the Psalmists of old had recourse to in their hours of trouble — the most beautiful example of which is the Shepherd Psalm.

FIRST PHASE

The Lord is my shepherd

SECOND PHASE

I shall not want

He maketh me to He down in green pastures, He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

(Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death)

I will fear no evil
For thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.
Thou anointest my head with oil.
My cup runneth over.

THIRD PHASE

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Practising the Presence of God

And now, having finished the prayer which in form is something like a Psalm, and having finished the Psalm which is similar to a prayer, let us consider how we can turn the strength derived in the quiet hour into the daily routine of the world of action. For the test of every life is, after all, How do the hours of contemplation harmonize with the hours of action?

The value of Walter Camp's "daily dozen" is that after the fifteen minutes' exercise in the morning you find you are breathing a little deeper all day. We should expect the same results from our fifteen minutes of prayer every morning. We should be living in the Kingdom of God a little more vitally all day. How? Let me tell you.

Here is where we can learn a lesson from the movies. No longer does one have to depend upon newspapers for news; one can see the world's news thrown on the screen if one desires. Then why does one have to depend entirely upon one's prayers for contact with God? Cannot one see, if one knows how, the spiritual ideas of God revealed in the cinema pictures that flash by in actual life? The moment one awakes to the fact that one lives in God's world here and now, one begins to see in every event that comes a part of the beautiful symmetrical plan of God. Of course, as it flashes by in little separate pictures of a fraction of a second each, not every picture may seem quite perfect. Neither would every stitch of a famous tapestry appear perfect to an eye looking through a microscope.

Once reach this stage and you have found the secret of following Paul's seemingly impossible command, "Pray without ceasing." And now miracles will begin to happen around you.

When a visitor comes, accept him as a messenger from God, and before long a divine message actually will come to you. Accept every disappointment as a signpost to show you to another path which is better, and you will always find the other path is there. Gradually this practising the presence of God, or living in the Kingdom of Heaven, will become a habit. Then you will wonder why for so many years you had not been living there before.

But remember that the best way to get there is to stretch the mind frequently to take in all of God that you can, and practise frequently the deep breathing of the soul. In other words, one can enter the Kingdom only by prayer and meditation. "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength." "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Thoughts about Prayer

Think of God and Heaven, not of the bad thing you are tossing off into the air.

Pray if possible out of loyalty to God, for the joy of it, not for results.

Do not pray to bring things to pass; pray to see things that are already in the Kingdom.

Do not limit the avenues by which God will answer your prayers. Remember that God's ways of manifesting His love are as uncountable as the stars of the firmament.

Do not feel responsible for your prayers or the answer to them. God alone is the planner and knows best. Love, rejoice, and be thankful for the unfoldment of His plan as you see it.

THE PAN100 PURPOSE AND VISION

Most of the books that Self-Improvement-eBooks.com publish and distribute come under the category of "New Thought" philosophy, which advocates a positive mental attitude in order to achieve success in life, and the healing of illness and disease by mental and spiritual means rather than by conventional medicine. They receive many thousands of visitors to their website each week, and have hundreds of people from all around the world sign up for their free "Pathway to Prosperity" email course each day.

The main purpose and grand idea behind the PAN100 Power Affiliate program is to spread these type of New Thought teachings to a far larger worldwide audience via these affiliate websites. There are already many New Thought oriented ebooks and audios featured on the PAN100 web-stores, and as time goes on more and more books teaching New Thought philosopy and spirituality will be added to the web-stores, so that eventually there will be a thousand websites promoting and selling these type of products rather than just one or two. The masterplan therefore is to help heal this planet by teaching people to have a more positive approach to life, and how the thoughts they think today are shaping their tomorrows, an understanding of which which will in time promote better health, prolong life, and lead to greater prosperity and wellbeing for the future generations on this planet.

By taking part in the PAN100 program you will be involved in important, life-changing work in the world. 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.

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.

Membership is available to the first 1000 people that enroll only!

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:

Special Reduced Price Offer

Pay for your membership annually instead of monthly and save $14 per month! Instead of paying the normal monthly membership fee of $47 you can pay $396 annually instead, which works out at $33 per month.

We will even waive the $20 setup fee. That's a total saving of $188 in your first year of membership compared to the normal monthly rate!

Plus, as a valuable added bonus, you can choose any ten products listed on your web-store (except those in the Special Offers section) upto the value of $180 in total for your own personal use and enjoyment completely free of charge! You will also still receive the new product releases each month at no extra cost.

Click here now to take advantage of this great reduced price offer.

Note: This reduced rate annual subscription offer is available to the first 100 people who apply only. Once that figure has been reached this special offer will be withdrawn, so don't delay - enroll right away to aviod disappointment.

We have a limited number of these fully automated self-help web-stores still available for sale on a first come first served basis for only $47 per month or $396 per year which includes hosting, support, and unlimited access to the PAN100 members-only area featuring hundreds of dollars worth of digital downloads including ebooks, audios, and software products. These web-stores are selling fast though and will soon all be gone, so if you would like one you should act now as you are unlikely to get an opportunity like this again. Enroll Now - You won't be disappointed!

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.

VERY IMPORTANT - DO NOT MISS THIS STEP OR YOU MAY NOT RECEIVE OUR EMAILS!

To ensure that you receive all our emails, please add the following email address to your "whitelist" or your list of email contacts: support@pan100.net - DO IT NOW WHILE IT'S FRESH IN YOUR MIND TO AVOID GETTING UPSET LATER!

We look forward to seeing you the other side of the enrollment process!...
