The exercise of the visualizing faculty keeps your mind in order and attracts to you the things you need to make life more enjoyable in an orderly way.

Genevi?ve Behrend was born in Paris in 1881 and died in the United States in 1960. She wrote books and taught Mental Science, a branch of New Thought taught by Thomas Troward.

She studied Christian Science and met the religion's founder, Mary Baker Eddy, but she eventually stopped believing in it. She met Abdul Baha, whose father had started the Bah? Faith.

She then started a second New Thought school in Los Angeles. For the next 35 years, she lectured on mental science and New Thought all over North America and did radio shows....
