Your Invisible Power - Behrend, Genevieve

Résumé :
Your Invisible Power has been written with the purpose and hope that their suggestions may furnish you a key to open up the way to the attainment of your desires, and to explain that Fear should be entirely banished from your effort to obtain possession of the things you desire. This presupposes, of course, that your desire for possession is based upon your aspiration for greater liberty. For example, you feel that the possession of more money, lands or friends will make you happier, and your desire for possession of these things arises from a conviction that their possession will bring you liberty and happiness.

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. We don't know much about her childhood, except that one of her parents was from Scotland. After her husband died, she went on many trips. 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....
