When FAITH is blended Vibration of thought is how Hill chose to describe the complex, little understood process by which electrochemical impulses in the brain create and convey “thoughts”
and emotions Vibration must be understood in a descriptive and metaphoric, as well as physical sense here and elsewhere in Hill’s writings. In any event, what is significant is not the imperfection of the words Hill uses in the effort to describe the process—all language is imperfect—but the insight he offers into how thoughts, bolstered by the power of faith, can affect the subconscious mind and create within it new capabilities and powers of communication. It would be a mistake to attempt to understand such terms as vibration of thought”
in a strictly literal sense. The key is to read and reread such statements, in context, moving with the flow of Hill’s ideas. Doing so will soon produce within you the full sense of what Hill means to convey.

Understand this truth Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993) and others would goon to popularize this power of positive thinking as did Hill and his later collaborator, friend, and patron, W. Clement
Stone, in their book Success through a Positive Mental Attitude (Whenever you listen to a motivational recording of whatever kind, or read a motivational piece, or hear a speaker extolling the virtues of positive thinking and a positive mental attitude, you are listening to an echo from Napoleon Hill.

All down the ages Neither here nor anywhere else in his book does
Hill engage in religion bashing To the contrary, he has strong beliefs about God, or Infinite Intelligence, but he has little regard for dogmatics and sectarians, those who are convinced that they and they alone understand divine intentions and purposes and religious “truth.”
To Hill, nothing—no dogma, creed, or teaching—should stand in the way of, or is necessary to, direct communication between the individual and Infinite Intelligence. It is not religion that bothers Hill.
It is religionists.
