“Well, I don't know who wrote it, but I adopted it, okay? I know that Benjamin Franklin said early to bad, early, parise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise, okay? So, you know, I've read different things that say that. I just wanted to get a mantra. Now, I'm a big believer. And it's the repetition.”

“Well, first of all, you start out with the idea that you've got to have a positive goal. Because if you have a positive goal, your tendency starts to think about how you can achieve that goal and it works on the positive things. So a good thing to start is everybody should have a goal where servo mechanism. It's kind of like shooting up a heat-seeking missile to seek out the exhaust of a plane and blows it up. But if there's no plane, it just circles around and waste energy. So having a goal is a fundamental thing. The second thing I do is I try to consider positive things. And the way you do it is whenever I have a negative thought, I don't say, oh,”

“It gets worse 95% of it is repetitive. So think about that. The average person thinks 24,000 thoughts a day and 80% of them are negative and 95% of them are repetitive. You wonder how anybody's ever normal. How can anybody achieve something when they're programming the most powerful thing in the world negatively?”

“You are your computer programming of your subconscious mind. When you think something or you do it, it makes an impression on the mind. And the more it makes an impression, the more it's likely going to work on it because it's the current thing. So you are the developer of that mind. Now here's the bad, good and bad news. 80% of your thought process, not yours, but the average is negative. It gets worse.”

“Man, in his aspirations is not obsolete. That man has essential freedom of action in determining the content of experience at the mind or personal knowledge more than something other than the inferior reaction of a bioperge process in the brain. In other words, you are the directing force. You control everything, and every condition in your brain. Now, what happened is that as I started James Allen, I realized how important thoughts are, I have a process where I literally screen my thoughts when I develop an angry thought or a negative thought. And that's another point I wanted to point out, is that when you have that thought, it makes an impression. So you have 24,000 thoughts a day, 24,000 a day, and every thought makes an impression on the subconscious mind. So you are...”

“The force behind all progress and achievement is energy created and applied by the mind. Third, you are radiating power by expanding your consciousness you can attract what you want, like the lowly ami you can have only what you can surround and absorb within yourself. The universe cannot and does not give you anything. It does give you however the power and challenge to chief, to create for yourself the conditions and resources you want. You can have anything you want providing you are willing to pay the price. And here's the final one. Fourth, you are the building directing power of your life. Life develops only by mental and emotionally power from within. Mental and emotional processes create and control all that comes into your experience. Nothing has ever been, is now ever will be, that is not the result of man's action. Since this law is universal, inescapable, it follows.”

“It's the wisdom of your subconscious mind by J.K. Williams. Okay. So he asked Fur Porn. She says, the creative insight and wisdom of the subconscious mind, when properly understood and correctly applied, sustain the following four statements. First, you are the architect of your destiny. Every experience and condition utilized poverty or riches, success or failure, health or illness is the result of action and purpose set by you. So you're responsible for it all. Second, within the area of your life, you have creative power. You can make amendment. Here's the key. You can make a mental image or a blueprint of the progress and expansion you want to achieve. And by impressing the concept of your objective upon your subconscious mind, you can cause the condition you visualize in your mind to be created. In other words, you create your own reality. Creative energy is the self-induced action of mind upon itself and within itself.”

“More young people understood this, they would pick any goal. There's nothing impossible, you know. The mind has the ability to influence thoughts. It has the influence of people. Matter of fact, I have a book that I read early in my career, one of the most influential, and it's called The Wisdom of your Subconscious Mind. He made four points. He spent 50 years studying the subconscious mind. Can I read a few?”

“Desk so all of a sudden I'm on the trampoline. I'm going back and forth, and all of a sudden a flash. So, what happens is you have a thought, you continue that thought, it eventually leads to action. The key to improving yourself is not necessarily to do in one direction. But if you do things that make you more honest, more hardworking, that you take the proper diet, that you do the exercise, you do everything else, your whole body works to improve you. Like I mentioned, the chemicals that you have when you do good and when you do things right. So one of the things that he taught is that as you improve your thinking, you improve your life. And I knew when I read James Allen, I felt it that what he was saying he was speaking the truth and I used to get pills on my arm when I read certain things. So I knew it was on the path. And I am telling you there's never any reason to feel bad about yourself. Now, if more”

“Exactly its character. Here's the thing. I made my goal that one of the things I would do, and I'll do until the day I died, is that every day my goal is to improve on something one way or another. So I want to always improve myself. Now here's the key, as he points out, as you improve yourself, you improve your life. And it affects many different things. It can affect the financial, it can affect your relationship with people, it can affect you to find a book that gives you understanding. So every day, you know, when I go through my routine, that's one of the things I work on right away. For example, when I start in the morning, the most important thing I do out of bed, and I don't want to think about anything else, I go downstairs, I have a mini trampoline, which I bounce on, and I do that for one hour. And next to the trampoline is a little”

“Subconscious mind zero in on the things that are in there. And the way the subconscious mind works, it works on the things that is the most recent. So if you have a goal and you think about it and it starts to work on it and then you start on something else, it puts that aside and it works on the new stuff. And then the longer time goes, the more you forget about that and it doesn't affect you as much. It's kind of like when you're going to school and you're taking the test. What do you have to do? You have to keep on repeating, studying it over and over and over. And once it's subconscious, you can spit it out anytime you want. I remember things from 20 or 30 years ago that were very impressional on me. And I can still remember it because I kept repeating it over and over. So repetition is the key. And so what this book does is I would be willing to bet that any reader could read.”

“That's right. Let me tell you one secret about books that I discovered. I have all kinds of books, but there are some that speak to you and who you are and speak to your subconscious, you know, all of your experience together and it just, you could just feel that it's good. So I tell people, when you have a favorite book, read it over and over and over because the subconscious mind works on repetition. So the more you repeat it to yourself, the more it affect it has on you. And that's what I learned. I kept referring to James Allen's book to find the answers to questions that were bothering me. And I got to the point where it just became a regular thing where every time I read it, I learned something else. I kept reading it no matter how much I've learned. I still picked that book up tomorrow and read it. I picked something I hadn't soon before. So you're so...”

“So, I can't afford to do it. So, I wanted to. So I called him up a couple of years later because I wanted to send one to every one of my clients and any friend just like the Ginnie within. It was a book I'd hoped to write, but it was already written. So I said to him, I'll tell you what, Steve, why don't we make a deal? I'll pay for the typesetting, rebuild the typesetting, make it nice, come up with a decent color, and use some decent paper besides Zerox paper. So look, because I want to give them out as gifts. I don't want this to be a shoddy deal. He said, oh, I'm happy to do it. If you're going to pay for this, that's great. And so we made the deal. And I said, the only thing I'm going to ask is I would like to write the full word to the book as to why I'm giving it to people as present. And what I wrote in the foreword is basically I said all my life I've been collecting sayings and quotes and stuff.”

“And then as a man thinketh. So I said, why don't you put them all in a box, send them to me, and I'll send you a check. He said, oh, okay, great. So all of a sudden, I get this big box of books with all of this. They were all poorly, the typeset was faded and it looked like it was a Xerox copy. And I just thought, geez, all this good writing, what's going on? So I called him up and I said, how come you don't print them in good paper and good typesetting and all that and he said, Arnold, I never get enough demand for them. I mean, James Allen's book, Poverty to Power, I only sell about 15 to 20 a year.”

“I said, I didn't eat the milk he had any other books. He says, Oh my God, he's written about 20 or 30 books. I said, no kidding. Where do I get those? He says, well, there's a publisher who specializes in James Allen's book called Skip Whitson in New Mexico. So I looked him up, called him, and said, Mr. Whitson, this is Arnold Vandenberg. I gave a seminar the other day, and they referred me to you because you're supposed to be the expert on James Allen. He says, well, thank you. I said, how many books do you have on James Allen? He says, oh, about 20 or 23 or whatever. So anyway, the problem is that some of them were copied. They took chapters and made a book out of it. So I don't know how many books he read. But the one that is the best deal is mine is master. It's only $20, and you get everything he's ever written. You have it, right? Yeah.”

We had a cup of coffee. I took a pit on my nightstin. And one night I said, you know what? I'm going to read this book. So I read the book. I was captivated. I mean, he explained everything so beautiful. And it's a little book. It's probably not only 35 or 40 pages, but it is really, I mean, he nails everything. He gives three examples about how the mind works and all of this stuff. So I was really excited. So one day I was at a trade show and I was giving a lecture and they had me give a talk on business. And one of the men that was in my class said, Arnold, did you ever...”

And he's really an interesting guy and he wants to start his own business. And I told him about you and he said, oh, I'd love to meet Arnold. He said, would you mind meeting with him? He's a great young guy, and I think you guys would enjoy it and so on and so forth. Sure, be happy. Just give me a call. So he called me up. He said, I said, why don't we go to lunch? You're a friend of Ted Salzman. Be happy to have lunch with you. So he said, okay. So we went through the lunch and he's telling me about all the ideas. And I was giving him all my business ideas.

So they said, well, okay. So they brought him in. Three months later, he went back to school, was playing sports. And the guy's 80 years old, he's as old as I am. And so he said, all of his life, he used the principles. And by the way, I went through his bibliography. I read almost every book he had in his bibliography. One thing you may...”

And he said, I tell you what, just to show good faith, I'm going to give you an order for 100 books so that I can have some in my office as people come in. So he says, oh, I'll give you a discount. I said, Mr. Carpenter, I believe in universal law, that when somebody does something good, the universe rewards them. And I feel that you deserve to get whatever you get out of it. And if you don't need the money, donate it to your favorite charity. But I don't want the discount. I am very happy to pay. This is the first time in anything that I'm offering to pay retail. But in this case, you deserve it all and you are to be congratulated. So here's what happened to him. He was eight years old and he was dying from incurable heart disease. He was eight years old. So one of his family members belonged to the Christian Science Church. They believe in healing.”

And he says, you know, I'm a little disappointed. And I said, why? He said, well, I didn't write the book to make money. I'm an aeronautical engineer, and I've made my money in my field. And I didn't write the book to make money. I wrote the book to help people. And I was hoping that young people could read it because it could change their life. And I said, it sure could. And I said, how many books have you sold? He said, I've only sold about 70,000 in six or seven years. I said, let me tell you something right now as we speak. You only sold 70,000 copies of this book until you met me. But now that I'm familiar with your book, I'm going to give it to anybody who read it. And so your sales are going to skywalk.”

“Anyway, the bottom line of it is that I read the book and I said, you know what? It's the same thing that happened to me when I read property to power. My dream was to collect all these good ideas and put them in the book. But when I read the poverty to power, I said, there's no way I could write a book because it wouldn't be as good as this one and I couldn't improve on that one. When I read the Genie Within, I said, even my 680 pages, I'm not going to be able to do as good a job as this guy did. So I called them up and I congratulated him. I said, Mr. Carpenter, you don't know me. My name is Arnold Van Denberg. I'm a student of the subconscious mind for 50 years. And I want you to know I've read hundreds of books. I mean, you look, I've got books all over. I never throw a book away because I always make notes and then I can find it. So I said, it's the best book I've read on the subject. And I think you did a marvelous job.”

And I thought I would call them the collection of the subconscious mind. And it's from all kinds of, it's from religion, it's from science, it's from physics, it's from quantum. I mean, it's just all over the place. And so I was preparing it and then I started editing. I think I sent you the first 55 pages of Marketing.”

“Oh, absolutely. What happened is as I was studying the subconscious mind and all of the different psychological factors and the different things you could do, one of my secretaries said to me, you know, Arnold, I read a book by a man named Mr. Carpenter called The Genie Within. And I think he would really enjoy the book. And I think you'd even enjoy meeting him. He's an incredible guy. He said, oh, ordered the book. So we ordered the book. I read it right away. And I thought, wow. This is like finding from poverty to power. It was revolutionary. Now, at that time, which was five years ago, I had accumulated up until now 600 pages of notes and articles and different things that I cut out of books to put into this file. It's called the Central File of the Subconscious. And what I hope to do with it is I thought that I would collect all of this material.”

He said, okay, there's another problem, Arnold. When you have a sprained ankle as serious as his, and I put him in a cast, he's going to be on crutches because he can't step on the leg. It hurts. So how in the hell is he going to go into the shot pudding ring with her? Is she going to carry crutch it? I mean, you just can't do it. I said, you know what?

And so I read a couple of books by people who were his students, but he never wrote that much himself. And when he was interviewed later on in life, he said, why did you write some books? He said, I have the ability to heal somebody in six minutes. And he used to treat 40,000 people a year. He said, I don't want to take three months to write a book. There's other people who can write the book. I want to practice it because this is what I do and I am good at it. And it's a gift from God.”

And so he said, he sold this pharmacy, and he started healing people by suggestion called auto-suggestion. He's the master of auto-suggestion. And what he would do, and here's what he did. People had kooky ideas about hypnotism. he would lose credibility by saying he was going to hypnotize him. So what he did is he got them into a highly suggestive state. He had a beautiful rose garden. He would play beautiful classical music. He would have all the people come in and sit down and then he would talk them into getting relaxed.

He recommends the thing. So he said people would come in and he said here's the interesting thing. You talk about belief. He said, you know, if I believed in the product and I knew it was good and I tried to be for, I would recommend it and it would work every time. But if I wasn't sure about the product, then, you know, people use it, but I hadn't seen the great results I'd say. This is probably something you should try. I'm not sure about it, but give it a try. And so it wouldn't work. He said, so after a while, after a few years, he realized that it wasn't the medicine that made the people.”

“And I met this psychiatrist and he really helped me. And I think Dr. Rameljack could really help you with depression. And so I said, well, it isn't getting any better, so I'll take a shot at it. So I went to see him, and I told him about how I got through the day with using self-hypnosis. He says, well, Arnold, that's a wonderful idea. However, how would you like to find out why you're so angry? I said, oh, that's really important. That's why I'm here. He said, okay, why don't we start working on that? So I made an agreement that I would stick with the program and, you know, we'd work out the problem and get rid of the anger. And then the depression would lift and indeed admit.”

“So I read an article that said 20 minutes under hypnosis is the equivalent of three and a half hours of sleep. And I thought, oh my God, that's just what I need. So I bought a book. The first one I bought was self-hypnosis by Dr. Lacron, I think it was his name. Anyway, it was a very simple process, and I practiced it for a week. And after a week, I could go out just like that. I mean, I would be on the floor three to five minutes and I would be out.”

“Later, not inch. So the second time I called her, she was actually a little bit cold to me, like I was bothering her. I said, you know what, Gail? I told you I was going to go three times and ask you to go back. This is the second time, but the way you're treating me, if you can't even show any respect, then it's over. So why don't we accelerate the second time to the third time and call it the third strike? She was very comfortable with that. She says, okay. So I hung up and I said, I'll tell you what, I'm never going to call you again anytime in my life. That's a commitment. So I hung up the phone and I cried like a baby because I knew it was over in my mind and that was it. Well, then I went into a deep depression. And the problem is I was starting my business. And at 3.30 in the afternoon, I would get so tired I felt like it was 3.30 in the morning I could hardly study.”

“The divorce problem. And that really put me into a very depressed state of mind. And Dr. Rameljack, my psychiatrist explained later that the anger is the thing that creates the depression. It creates all the cordis or all the different chemicals in your body and it just chew-chew down. Well, I was angry for many other reasons, but this really angered me, especially since she took off with another guy for the male ego, there's nothing worse, right? So anyway, I said to her, I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're going to play baseball. I'm going to ask you three times if you would like to go back and work out the problems. And I'm going to do it three times. And after three times, three strikes, and you're out. And if that's the case, it's done in my mind. I'll never call you again. So I called it the first time. She said, no, I'm not really interested. I said, okay, called her a month.”

“So, what happened? We were married, we went around four and a half years, we were married four and a half years, and she came home one, I came home one day, we're having breakfast, and she says, you know, Arnold, I'd really been thinking about I want to move out. I was kind of startled. What do you mean, move out? She said, well, we had these problems, so forth, and I don't know what to do. So I think it's a good thing I said to her, listen, when you're married, you don't go live in different places. You work out the problem. So here's the deal. You stay and we work out the problems. Or if you decide to leave, we're getting a divorce. There's no in between there. I wasn't going to put up with that, but I didn't know she had another guy. That was just the way I felt. You know, it's ridiculous to move away from her problem. So she said, okay, so the next morning, I asked her, well, what did you decide? She says, well, if I can't move out of my own, I'd like to get a divorce. So I said, okay, so we got an attorney and we started.”

“And I go, Oh, I'm a Maria. I had a Jewish wedding. So I thought, he's not standing too far away from me. I think I'll tap him on the shoulder and say, it's okay. But by that time, he was halfway through the song. And I looked over at my mom and she gave me that look like it was a knife in my stomach, you know. And anyway, he did the song and I was just waiting for the problems to surface, but she behaved herself and everything went well. So we got married.”

“Anyway, my ex wife at that time called me before the wedding. She says, you know, there's a guy there that has a beautiful voice and he sings beautiful songs. Would you mind if we picked out a few songs to sing at the wedding? And I said, no, I don't care. So I get to the wedding. I'm standing right up there. And all of a sudden, the first song, guess what he starts just saying? Aba Maria.”

“And there's no Jewish and no Catholic, and it's totally neutral. It's not a problem. She says, what are they going to have? They're going to have a cross in one side and a Swatski on the other side. And I thought, oh, I said, my cross is not like a swatstick. She says, forget it. That's what it is. So there's no point in arguing, right? That's what it is. So she said she wasn't going to come. About two days before the wedding, she said, Arnold, I was talking to Pa and I said to Pa, no matter what Arnold does, he's still our son. I said, oh, well, thank you. She says, so we're going to the wedding. And I was already happy that they weren't going because I knew my dad would never say anything, but there's no telling what she would say or do. So I said, Mom, you know, you don't really need to go. I know you're not going to enjoy it. And you might even cause a problem. And I don't need that at my wedding. She says, I don't make a problem, but we go and don't tell your mother what to do. I'm going to the wedding. So that was it. I said, okay.”

“And so we had this guy called the Italian stallion. He was a good looking guy, a tall guy, a very nice guy. And he said, hey, I'll go pick up the girls for you and so forth and so on. And so that's the way we did it. And we started dating together and so forth. And then my folks were not excited about me marrying a Catholic girl. So they tried to talk me out of it and I said, no, this is what I want to do. I'm going to do it. So my mom says, you know, Vather Harold, I told Pa, We are not going to the vetting. This is not the kind of vetting we are looking forward to. I said, fine. I was relieved almost because I figured they'd probably make a problem. So I said, okay, I understand. Don't worry about it. You don't need to go to the wedding. But I'm going to go any, I'm going to go to the wedding anyway. She says, well, is it going to be a priest? I said, no, Ma, it's in a denominational. He's a judge.”

“Well, what happened is, I was very close to the girl that I married, my high school sweetheart. I was a good athlete. She was a cheerleader. It was perfect. We both were good dancers. We loved to dance. And we had a lot of friends. And it was just a lot of fun. I just loved my high school days. They were just terrific. Anyway, we got married. And that was another problem because her parents were Italian Catholics, and they didn't particularly wanted you in the family. They were very upset about that. So they wouldn't let me take her out. So after a while, I dated her once and they said, okay. And then after a couple of minutes.”

“I must be very fortunate to have such a special mom as you. And with a straight face, she said, you said it. So any believed that. So, I mean, you know what's interesting? You know what's interesting. Whenever people would meet my mom, you know what the first thing they said is your mom is so beautiful. She wasn't beautiful. She created that in her mind”

“All the men wanted to debate me. I figure who needs it. So I said I just looked at her and I'm looking at a picture on the mantle and I see her when she's a young girl and I'm looking at that and I said, I don't think I would ask her out. She didn't look that beautiful to me. But she did. So one time I went to visit her in the nursing home and there was a picture of the whole group and there was a picture by herself. And I thought, why would they have a picture of her by herself? We got knocked on the door and we went in and sat down. And I said, Ma, I noticed there was a different picture. They had the whole group and one by yourself. And she said, don't you know? She said, what do you mean? I'm special. And my wife started laughing. I got actually angry when she told me that. But my wife started laughing and I thought I'm going to make a joke out of this. I said, oh, you're special. Well.”

“Said, sure, come on down. We have a business, and if you'd like to work into business, we can give you a job. So she was all excited. She got on the train, went to Germany, and then she met my dad.

“Yeah, what happened is my mom always had this feeling that she was either special or beautiful. There was something about her that she really believed this. And, you know, one time she was telling me, you know, she was in love with this medical student in Poland and her dad wouldn't let her date the guy because he was Jewish, but he wasn't Jewish enough. My dad was very Orthodox. He said to her, Mania, When you live in this home, you cannot date this man. He says, no, he's not Jewish. He doesn't follow it. He's not Jewish now. So you can't go out with him. She said, okay, Papa, then I will leave. She was only 15 years old in Poland in a little ghetto. So he kind of looked at her like, what do you mean? So anyway, she found out that we had some relatives in Germany. She wrote to them and asked them if they could, she could come. And the people said,”
