A personal note from Rev. John
Thank you for asking for this easy and powerful way of replacing problems with perfect answers. I love what I do. It gives me great pleasure to provide programs such as this, because I know it will benefit all who allow these ideas to work in their minds and lives. On these pages, you will find a great idea – one that will change your life – when you give this a chance to work in you. It is surprisingly simple, easy and powerful. Prove it to yourself and you will be delighted with what happens! TAB-IT will be a good habit that will bless you over and over!
A man who was laid off from his job got the TAB-IT HABIT, and reported that it worked quickly for him. Instead of worrying, he decided to try “TAB-ing” toward securing a new job. He was surprised, but very happy when a much better employment opportunity opened for him rather quickly. He said, “TAB-IT is a great habit to have!”
Rev. Charles Roth, who was a Unity Minister, gave me this wonderful problem-dissolving exercise, and said to share it with everyone. That is what I am doing now. I’ve had the TAB-IT Habit for years and wouldn’t be without it. It’s another effective way of turning The Golden Key, and being happy and free.
I have revised and upgraded it while keeping the core of what Charles Roth taught. When you read this and try it for yourself, you’ll discover, as I and many others have, how great it is. – Rev. John W. Adams
The TAB -IT Habit Will Do at Least 3 Things for You:
- It will take a present or future challenge off your mind as a “trouble.” It will remove that feeling of dread or fear or awful apprehension about a problem you may have.
- It will bring about an answer that is always better than you imagined or expected.
- It is an easy and effortless way of helping you to keep your thoughts on God more often during the day.
What Is the TAB Technique?
The TAB technique effectively combines the latest discoveries about the function of the subconscious mind WITH the ancient wisdom of the Bible and its teaching of the everywhere-present, miracle-working Power of God.
Years ago, before Smart Phones, the word “TAB” was used a lot more that it is today. It meant to “make a note, on paper, of something for future reference.” In fact, the word “tablet” as used in “writing tablet” really means writing paper for making tabs, or notes.
How to TAB Your Problems or Challenges
Today you are going to learn how to TAB your problems or challenges from the smallest to the biggest. (The principle works the same regardless of the apparent size.) In so doing you will get them off of your mind. Also, you will set the mental and spiritual laws in motion that will guarantee a successful outworking of any seeming problem.
This spiritual TAB involves paper and pen or pencil. (Lay aside your smart phone or other digital device for a while.) Get two sheets of paper, and sit where you may write. Ready? There are several things for you to do.
- Write down an apparent problem in one, or at most, two sentences on one sheet of paper.
- Jot down adjectives that describe your present feelings about the problem, such as, afraid, nervous, tense, resentful, impatient, frustrated, and so forth.
The bigger the problem, the more time you may need to spend on reducing it to one or two sentences. This is time well spent, because you will become aware that many of the things that you are worrying about are not the problem at all, merely secondary effects of the core problem. When the basic problem is solved, these secondary effects will automatically disappear.
Now that you have your problem before you on paper. You have also pinned down and labeled those feelings about it that are giving you so much distress.
- On the other sheet of paper, leave a little room at the top, then write down the most PERFECT answer to the problem that you can think of!
Keep it short, one or two sentences. (This will force you to keep it more or less general or open so that God – instead of you – can fill in the details.)
In writing down the most perfect answer you can think of, those notations of your present negative feelings about the problem will come in handy, and here is how:
Think of a word that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the negative word(s) you have written down – and write the POSITIVE OPPOSITE WORD someplace into your description of the perfect answer. For instance, if you feel presently scared, that is, have a lot of fear about the problem facing you – use words like: “I am courageous,” or “unafraid.” If you’re nervous and tense, use words like “CALM, UNRUFFLED, INWARDLY POISED, PEACEFUL” in your statement of the perfect answer – or TAB.
WHO, OR WHAT, can bring about that perfect answer?
You probably know of the Power that is said to be able to do that which may seem impossible. You know about the carpenter’s son Who lived in an area of the world that is often in the news . . . and Who performed seeming miracles. He claimed no such power for Himself, but He did claim that there is a Universal Presence and Power that worked through Him . . . and He further claimed that this Universal Power and Presence was available to and would work through any person in the world, including you. He called it the “Father within”; and claimed that the same Father was in every person, which is true. He urged everyone to realize and accept this as so. He said, “If you believe what I say to be true – you shall do the things that I do, and greater things than these will you do.” He also said, “With God ALL things are possible.”
Now look at the perfect answer you have written down in your TAB. You cannot bring it about, but GOD can!
- Write down at the beginning of your TAB: God (or use any word for God that is meaningful to you such as Universal Mind, Infinite Intelligence, Universal Wisdom,The Father Within) is now moving in and through me and all people and conditions to bring about . . .” and read the PERFECT ANSWER YOU HAVE WRITTEN DOWN.
- Throw away the paper on which you wrote the PROBLEM. You are done with that. From now on you are going to be working with the ANSWER, not the problem. You are shifting from a “problem consciousness” to the power of an “ANSWER CONSCIOUSNESS”!
Now You Have the Answer, What’s Next?
Good! Now you have the answer written down on paper, but it isn’t going to do much on paper . . . . you must have it in your life! Here is how you do that:
It is a provable fact that the conditions and circumstances of a person’s life are an out-picturing of the beliefs and mental concepts that reside in that person’s subconscious mind. I am assuming that you have read enough Truth books and psychology articles to agree with this. Aren’t psychologists and psychiatrists always rummaging around in the subconscious mind to discover and remove buried mental patterns or beliefs that are causing present trouble and difficulties?
Dr. Joseph Murphy, who was a Divine Science minister said, “Your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body and has access to the answer to all problems. Whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as conditions, experiences, and events.”
In other words, the Universe, within you, constantly picks up on what you think, feel and say, and instantly responds accordingly.
“If you are able to completely remove all negative thoughts related to your manifestations, then the perfect answers have to manifest very quickly. In other words, when you think about what you want, think about it purely with absolutely no contradictions in your vibrations.” – Let the Universe Lead You by Richard Dotts. (A highly recommended book available at Amazon.com)
The above is describes what TAB-ing does. It allows you to get very clear about what you want and let the Universe give you perfect answers, quickly and easily.
Next!
What you are going to do next is to Not Remove Something from your subconscious, but Put Something In It!
You Are Going to Place This TAB, or Perfect Answer, That Includes The Idea That God Is Doing The Work (not you) Into Your Subconscious Mind.
This is perfectly possible because the only way ANY belief or mental pattern gets into your subconscious mind is through REPETITION AND YOUR TOTAL ACCEPTANCE OF IT!
Now Comes the Final Step
- Above all that you have written, write the words:
“I TOTALLY ACCEPT THE BELIEF THAT . . . .”
The words, “TOTALLY ACCEPT” acknowledge the existence and power of your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind takes notice because it knows you are talking to it; that you are enlisting its cooperation. It really cannot do otherwise. Through your subconscious mind, you make contact with the superconscious Mind of God.
The word, “BELIEF,” reminds you that this is a NEW belief that you are programming into your subconscious mind to counteract the old belief in your inability to solve the problem.
Did you notice that the first letters of the words, TOTALLY, ACCEPT, and BELIEF form the word, TAB? That is TAB-ing!
Totally means altogether, completely, exactly, wholly.
Accept means approve, favor, go for, agree with, understand.
Belief means faith, certainty, conviction, assurance, credibility.
Habit means a mode of behaving fixed by constant repetition; inclination, tendency, pattern, groove, routine.
Testing the Process
You may try TAB-ing so-called small problems first, although it works equally well with any size problem. As you see how effectively it works, your faith in it grows and your skill in getting to the heart of problems and formulating the most PERFECT ANSWERS you can think of . . . increase!
As stated in the beginning, and you now realize – this does three things:
- It takes away that inner worry or tension about something important that you have, or want to do. You find that when the answer is written down and God is included in the picture – you automatically feel a kind of release from the problem.
- It will bring about a much better solution of the problem or challenge than you could ever do by yourself, or without consciously enlisting God’s help.
- It helps you to think of God more often during the day, because whenever a problem comes – you reach for a piece of paper and take just a few minutes to TAB it!
One more thing . . .
After you have written out your complete TAB, add the words: THANK YOU, GOD, I AM GRATEFUL! Then, with your full attention on each word, read the entire TAB THREE times.
Only three times. More than that and the power of your focused attention would be diminished and the impression in your subconscious mind weakened. Remember, God, the Universe is constantly listening. It responds better when you do not over-effort. You do not need to try and convince God of anything. God knows!
After audibly reading your TAB three times, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and be still for a few moments as you allow yourself to feel the power of your declaration and the joyful realization of God moving in and through you. Then open your eyes and thankfully go about your day.
Lay your TAB aside, but keep it handy. Whenever you start to think of the problem, or when your eyes fall on the paper with your TAB on it, read it three times again. I recommend that you audibly read your TAB daily for seven days. That should be enough to set it firmly in your subconscious mind, and be sufficient for you to establish your new TAB-IT habit. The Universe has already picked up on it and is powerfully delivering the happy results to you, right now.
Here is a sample TAB:
The apparent problem concerned a driving trip I needed to take from Phoenix, AZ to Albuquerque, NM.
Negative thoughts/feelings: Anxious, rushed, a little apprehension
Positive Opposite thoughts/feelings: Happy, relaxed, peaceful
My TAB: I Totally Accept the Belief that God if now moving in and through me and all people and condition to make every detail of my trip happy, perfect, safe and wonderful. I am, calm, happy, fearless and free. Thank You, God, I am grateful!
I had a great trip, a good visit with my friend, and saw come colorful Hot-Air Balloons. Everything went smoothly and I enjoyed the beautiful scenery I saw along the way.
TAB -ING WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE WONDERFUL!
Disclaimer: The TAB -IT Habit does not work for everybody. It doesn’t work for anyone who does not genuinely use it – allow it to become a habit. You may read about it and even think about it, however it will work for you only when you follow the simple instructions, and allow it to actually become a habit. It works for me. Prove it for yourself.
This is a dynamic teaching and will definitely change your life in a very desirable way. After you have read this you have two options: 1. You may dismiss it or just neglect to give it a fair trial. 2. You may begin now to create a new habit that will bless you over and over. When TAB-IT becomes second nature – habitual – you will love your happy, peaceful and rewarding life.
When you get the TAB-IT Habit, you will automatically TAB problems and difficulties, defusing them before they have a chance to worry you. That is when you have established your wonderful TAB-IT Habit.
Your feedback is important. Please write and tell me how your TAB-IT Habit is working for you.
