"What Is a Mental Picture?
A Mental Picture is a scene played upon the screen of the mind. By means of
a story or anecdote, the mind is helped to see a certain truth. For
instance, we have just read the adventure of the Swiss shepherd. That story
conveyed a picture to us. It impressed the intellect with a profound
principle.
The value of Mental Pictures, is enormous. We shall see how and why as
we go along. For one thing, the thinking process itself
is largely a projection of mental scenes. That is why constructive
visualizations are essential to our health and happiness.

In this book you will be presented with many stories and illustrations that
create positive Mental Pictures. These illustrations are the means by which
the truth reaches and enlightens the mind. We can call these
illustrations by various names-stories, examples, case-histories,
analogies, anecdotes, even jokes. But the purpose is single: _to give the
mind a constructive course of action to follow._ They guide the individual
into doing what is necessary in order to emerge with a new life."
