Now, this would be a very critical situation if nothing could be done about it, but the fact of the matter is that it is the easiest problem of all the problems man faces: changing himself and changing the attitudes of those around him. It is very, very easy to change somebody else’s attitude. Yet, you are totally dependent upon other people’s attitudes - somebody’s attitude toward you may make or break you life. Did it ever occur to you that your home holds together because of the attitude the other person has toward you? So there are really two problems here - you would have to change two attitudes: (1) your attitude towards somebody else; and (2) their attitude towards you. Well, are there ways to do this? Yes, fortunately, there are.
For many, many centuries, man has desired to know how to change the mind and condition of himself and his fellows. But we are making it a very fast paced world, we are making it a world where magic is liable to occur at any time, and has.
Man now understands a great many things about the universe he lives in, which he never understood before. Amongst the things he now understands is the human mind. The human mind is not an unsolved problem. Nineteenth-century psychology didn’t solve the problem, but that doesn’t mean it has not be solved.
