I did some reading too and apparently others like Alan Watts used this to push the New Thought Movement. Anyway, I think it’s got a legit foundation but this book from the 60s has been pretty abused and taken to absurd degrees. The Bible, among other religious texts, makes it clear that a man is what he thinks he is and it’s known that even navy seals spend countless hours engaging in what could be called positive visualization. My friend likes to talk about mirror neurons. Apparently, the brain doesn’t know the difference between reality and fantasy and you can use that to your advantage to, at least, prepare for high-stress situations. So, I don’t think the book you have is pseudo science but what came from it is.

No I do agree with that but there's a lot of people in intelligentsia who attempt to explain things we are unable to understand entirely but do exsist. Unfortunately so many people only believe in things these days if science or mainstream academia can explain it, the put so must trust in this propaganda our education system has pushed that they need to be scientifically assured but language is either yet to explain certain phenomenon or there's no way to explain certain things because it's outside the boundaries of our ability to grasp. I think a lot of quacks and grifters exploit this by writing these repetitive "manuals" and "self help" books using our current science to explain things that our current science has yet to understand or comprehend so you end up with these books that repeat non useful, and constantly on the verge of revealing some divine truth, yet their tips and steps to achievethese incredible psychic powers are basic and rarely will accomplish what your promised. Just a bunch of filler with obvious universal truths that get you halfway to the truth but fails to actually unlock anything of significance
