THE CONQUEST OF FEAR: The Law of Attraction Guide to Overcoming Fear and Transforming it into Creative Power – Basil King (1921).

The Conquest of Fear by Basil King is one of the most profound early New Thought works ever written on the relationship between fear, faith, spiritual alignment, and the creative power of the mind. Though often overlooked in contemporary Law of Attraction circles, this book stands as a magnificent spiritual manual that teaches one timeless truth: 
Fear is the great blocker of manifestation. Faith, alignment, and spiritual understanding dissolve it.

Written by a man who personally battled illness, paralysis, and depression, Basil King’s work transcends simple theory. He writes from direct experience—showing how turning toward the Life-Principle, the divine creative force within every human being, completely transforms one’s relationship with fear, worry, and limitation.

For listeners of The Secret Law of Attraction Podcast, this book serves as a missing link in the history of manifestation teachings. It reveals why fear lowers vibration, how anxiety disconnects us from the Universal Source, and how spiritual awareness restores confidence, power, and abundance. King’s message mirrors the core LOA principle:What you fear, you attract. What you trust, you empower.

Through eight deep and transformative chapters, Basil King guides the reader from fear to freedom—showing that the cure for fear is not resistance, but understanding.Below is an expanded chapter-by-chapter description, written to match the tone of our podcast and highlight the powerful Law of Attraction principles found throughout the book.

1. Fear and the Life-Principle
King opens with the foundational truth that fear is not part of the divine design of life. It is not natural. It is not essential. Instead, it is a mental pattern created by misunderstanding the nature of existence. The Life-Principle—God, Spirit, Universal Mind—contains no fear. It is creative, expansive, and always life-affirming. Through this lens, fear becomes an energetic interference in the flow of life. Listeners will recognize this as an early articulation of the Law of Attraction: fear disrupts alignment with Source, lowering vibration and attracting unwanted conditions.
When we reconnect with the Life-Principle through awareness, we rise above fear and step back into harmony with the creative force that shapes reality.

2. The Life-Principle and God
In this chapter, King dissolves the illusion of separation from God. Fear emerges when we believe we are alone, unsupported, or vulnerable. But once we understand that we are expressions of a divine power that is always present, fear naturally dissolves. This chapter is rich with LOA truth: fear is a signal of disconnection from Source; alignment restores peace, trust, and courage.
King teaches that God is not a distant figure but the very essence of life flowing through us. When we trust in this presence, fear loses its authority, and we begin to experience the world as supportive, abundant, and safe.

3. God and His Self-Expression
Here King reveals a beautiful insight: Your life is God expressing Himself.
Just as artists express their inner vision through their work, God expresses divine life through creation—through nature, through humanity, through consciousness. Understanding this raises our identity and purpose to a higher level.Fear arises, King argues, when we forget that we are part of this divine self-expression. When we remember our spiritual identity, fear shrinks, and our creative power expands. From an LOA perspective, this chapter teaches that: Self-expression is divine. Creation is sacred. Manifestation is natural. The more we align with our spiritual nature, the more effortlessly we manifest the life we desire.

4. God’s Self-Expression and the Mind of To-Day
King contrasts divine truth with the modern mind’s obsession with materialism, logic, and external control. He argues that society’s attempt to secure safety through outer means—money, status, technology—intensifies fear rather than eliminating it. This is a powerful Law of Attraction lesson: Fear is amplified when we rely solely on the physical world for security.  Faith is strengthened when we rely on inner alignment. The “mind of today” looks outward. The spiritual mind looks inward—where true power lives.

5. The Mind of To-Day and the World as It Is
King examines how fear shapes the structures of modern life—competition, scarcity thinking, material struggle. Much of society operates from a subconscious fear of not having enough, not being enough, or losing what we have. These fears manifest as:
– fear of failure
– fear of poverty
– fear of judgment
– fear of not being in control
– fear of change
King’s message mirrors LOA fundamentals: scarcity thinking attracts scarcity; security comes from trust, not control. By acknowledging the world without resistance, fear begins to dissolve. Acceptance, not struggle, restores alignment with the Life-Principle.

6. The World as It Is and the False God of Fear
King exposes the “false god of fear”—a subconscious deity humanity has unknowingly worshipped through constant worry, anxiety, and vigilance. This false god demands we obey fear, trust fear, and live according to its warnings.But fear is nothing more than a mental idol created from misunderstanding. This chapter is one of the book’s most powerful Law-of-Attraction teachings:
Whatever you give your attention to becomes your master. Whatever you fear, you empower.
By shifting attention from fear to the Life-Principle, we reclaim our power and stop manifesting fear-based outcomes.

7. The False God of Fear and the Fear of Death
King addresses the deepest fear of all—the fear of death. He explains that much of human anxiety originates from this unconscious fear, which influences behavior, choices, and worldview.
The Law of Attraction angle is profound: fear of death lowers vibration and blocks the experience of life. King reframes death not as an ending but as a transition within the eternal flow of divine life. When we understand this spiritually, our fear of loss, change, and uncertainty vanishes.Freedom from the fear of death opens the door to:
– greater presence
– deeper joy
– heightened creativity
– spiritual courage
– true abundance
Without the fear of death, life becomes radiant.

8. The Fear of Death and the Abundance of Life
In the final chapter, King completes the transformation. When the fear of death dissolves, what remains is a profound experience of the abundance of life—a state of being where joy, vitality, trust, and spiritual confidence naturally arise.King shows that a fearless life is not reckless but deeply aligned. When fear no longer drives us, we step into our true identity as divine expressions of God. This is where manifestation becomes effortless:The more fearless we become, the more receptive we are to abundance. The higher our vibration, the more powerfully we attract good.This chapter teaches that abundance is not something we earn or chase—it is something we allow when fear is finally removed from the mind.

A Spiritual Masterwork for Law of Attraction Listeners
The Conquest of Fear is more than a philosophical text—it is a vibrational guidebook showing how fear lowers consciousness and how aligning with the Life-Principle raises it. The book teaches that:
· Fear blocks manifestation
· Faith strengthens magnetic power
· Alignment with God / Source increases attraction
· Courage is a spiritual vibration
· Understanding replaces anxiety
· Abundance flows where fear no longer resides

King’s message is timeless:
When you conquer fear, you unlock your greatest spiritual, mental, and creative power.
This is the essence of the Law of Attraction—and the essence of this book.
