Outwitting the Devil was released by Sterling Publishing in June, 2011, with annotations by Sharon
Lechter.
-May we all make an inventory of our blessings in life. And give thanks for every gift that we have been given. I know that when I am at a low point in my life, I force myself to think of my family and friends and the blessings they have brought to my life. It is the quickest path up and puts my temporary setbacks into perspective.
-Every individual has the power to change his or her material or financial status by first changing the nature o fhis or her beliefs. "

Q That is a fine idea, Your Majesty. Start by telling me where you live. Then describe your physical appearance.
A My physical appearance? Why, my dear Mr. Earthbound, I have no physical body. I would be handicapped by such an encumbrance as those in which you earthbound creatures live. I consist of negative energy, and I live in the minds of people who fear me. I also occupy one-half of every atom of physical matter and every unit of mental and physical energy. Perhaps you will better understand my nature if! tell you I am the nega- tive portion ofthe atom.

Q You must have many tricks and devices by which you gain and hold control ofthe human mind.
A To be sure, I employ tricks and devices to control human thought. My devices are clever ones too.
Q Go ahead and describe your clever tricks, Your Majesty.
A One of my cleverest devices for mind control is fear. I plant the seed offear in the minds ofpeople, and as these seeds ger- minate and grow, through use, I control the space they occupy. The six most effective fears are the fear ofpoverty, criticism, ill health, loss oflove, old age, and death.

Q. Will you tell me how you go about your job of preparing human minds so you can control them?
A I have countless ways of gaining control of human minds while they are still on the earth plane. My greatest weapon is poverty. I deliberately discourage people from accumu- lating material wealth because poverty discourages men from thinking and makes them easy prey for me. My next best friend is ill health. An unhealthy body discourages thinking. Then I have countless thousands ofworkers on earth who aid me in gaining control of human minds. I have these agents placed in every calling.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
