CHAPTER 9: STUDY GUIDE

HOW TO USE THE WILL

1. Wattles opens this chapter by suggesting that you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside yourself; that you have no right to do so. Reflect on your life. Write a list of situations in which you find yourself trying to control things outside of yourself. What people do you try to change? What situations do you try to alter? Be as honest and as thorough as possible.

2. It is just as wrong to coerce people by mental power, as it is to do so with physical force. Go back to the list of people you created in #1. For each individual, see yourself releasing them to their own control. Feel the peace in this energy shift. Feel the power in no longer being responsible for their choices or behavior.

3. Trying to apply your will in order to compel them to come to you would simply be trying to coerce God. Reflect on your past beliefs and actions. Have you been trying to will things to you, not completing trusting that the divine is already doing so? Write about any new insights you gain as you explore coercion and how it has shown up in your life.

4. Wattles states that “Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.” Do you truly believe this statement? Speak it aloud. How do you feel when you say it? Write about your feelings.

5. The only will power you should use is to compel yourself to think and do the right things, to use it to hold yourself on the right course. Where have you struggled with your will power waning? Have you struggled with the choice of foods you eat? With practicing regular exercise? With cultivating a routine meditation or contemplation practice? Write a list of the areas where you struggle to “think and do the right things” for yourself.

6. If any of the items that you just listed relates to your manifesting of abundance goals, write it down and write an action plan on how you will follow through on holding yourself on the right course.

7. Write about any findings or shifts that you note in relation to completing #5 and #6.

8. Wattles states, “Keep your mind at home; it can accomplish more there than elsewhere.” Pay attention to where your mind wanders elsewhere–away from home. Keep a list of where your mind wanders, and see if there is a theme to the list. For example, does your mind wander when you are starting to feel good and on track? Does it wander when you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed?

9. Now take note of what you think of when your mind wanders. Are there any themes to where you go when your mind wanders? If so, write them down and any new insights you may have gathered by doing this exercise.

10. It is suggested that you use your mind to form a mental image of what you want.
