Speaker A
recently got into this book, and man, it is just so good. I've already felt the knowledge in this book benefiting my life, and I would love to share this knowledge with you guys so you can also find more joy in your life. And with that,
Speaker A
let's begin. This is the preface. This book is pragmatical, not philosophical—a practical manual, not to treat upon theories. It is intended for the man and woman whose most pressing need is for money, whose wish is to get rich
Speaker A
first and philosophize afterwards. It is for those who have so far found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis
Speaker A
for action without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached. It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were
Speaker A
promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison, and taking the statement upon faith that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich, for the science hereon
Speaker A
applies is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities. The monistic theory of the universe, the theory that one is
Speaker A
all and that all is one, that one substance manifests itself as a seeming many elements of the material world, is of Hindu origin and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the Western world for 200
Speaker A
years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson. The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
Speaker A
In writing this book, I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style so that all might
Speaker A
test a practical experiment it works if you wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at read the writings of the authors mentioned above and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice read this book and do
Speaker A
exactly as it tells you to do bye the author chapter one the right to be rich whatever may be said in Praise of poverty the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is Rich no
Speaker A
man can rise to his greatest possible height and talent or Soul development unless he has plenty of money for to unfold the soul and to develop Talent he must have many things to use and he cannot have these things unless he has
Speaker A
money to buy them with a man develops his mind soul and Body by making use of things and Society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things therefore the basis of all advancement
Speaker A
for man must be the science of getting rich in this book I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little no man ought to be satisfied with a little if
Speaker A
he is capable of using and enjoying more the purpose of nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life and every man should have all that he can contribute to the power Elegance Beauty and richness of life to be content with less
Speaker A
is sinful the man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is Rich and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants life has advanced so far and become so
Speaker A
complex that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming this desire to really unite
Speaker A
possibilities is inherit in human nature we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be success in life is becoming what you want to be and you can become what you want to be only by making use of
Speaker A
things and you could have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them to understand the signs of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge there is nothing wrong in wanting to get
Speaker A
rich the desire for riches is really the desire for a richer Fuller and more Abundant Life and that desire is praiseworthy the man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal and so the man who does not desire to have
Speaker A
money enough to buy all that he wants is abnormal there are three motives for which we live we live for the body we live for the mind we live for the soul no one of these is better or holier than
Speaker A
the other all are alike desirable and no one of these three body mind or Soul can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression it is not right or Noble to live only
Speaker A
for the soul and deny a minor body it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny the body or soul we are all acquainted with The Lonesome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul and we will
Speaker A
see that real life means the complete expression of all that man can give forth through body mind and soul whatever he can say no man can really be happy or satisfied unless his body is living fully and every function and
Speaker A
unless the same is true of his mind and his soul wherever there is an unexpressed possibility or function not performed there is unsatisfied desire desire is possibility seeking expression or function seeking performance men cannot live fully in body without
Speaker A
good food comfortable clothing and warm shelter and without freedom from excessive toil rest and Recreation are also necessary to his physical life he cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them without opportunity for travel and observation
Speaker A
or without intellectual companionship to live fully in mind he must have intellectual Recreation and must surround himself with all the objects of Art and Beauty he is capable of using and appreciating to live fully in Soul Man must have love
Speaker A
and love is denied expression by poverty a man's highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits of those he loves Love Finds Its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving the man who has nothing to give cannot fill his
Speaker A
place as a husband or father as a citizen or as a man it is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body develops his mind and unfolds his soul it is therefore of supreme importance to
Speaker A
him that he should be rich it is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so it is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the signs of
Speaker A
getting rich for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies if you neglect this study you are derelict in your duty to yourself to God and Humanity for you can render to God and Humanity no greater service than to make
Speaker A
the most of yourself chapter 2 there is a science of getting rich there is a science of getting rich and it is an exact science like algebra or arithmetic there are certain laws that govern the process of acquiring riches
Speaker A
once these laws are learned and obeyed by any man he will get rich with mathematical certainty the ownership of money and prosperity comes as a result of doing things in a certain way those who do things in this
Speaker A
certain way whether on purpose or accidental get rich while those who do not do things in this certain way no matter how hard they work or how able they are remain poor it is a natural law that like causes
Speaker A
always produce like effects and therefore any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich that the above statement is true as shown by the following facts getting rich is not a matter of
Speaker A
environment for if it were all the people in certain neighborhoods would become wealthy and people of one city would all be rich while those of other towns would all be poor or the inhabitants of one state would roll in
Speaker A
wealth while those of an adjoining state would be in poverty but everywhere we see rich and poor living side by side in the same environment and often engage in the same vocations when two men are in the same
Speaker A
locality and in the same business the one gets Rich while the other remains poor it shows that getting rich is not primarily a matter of environment some environments may be more favorable than others but when two men in the same
Speaker A
business are in the same neighborhood and one gets Rich while the other fails it indicates that getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way and further the ability to do things in this certain way is not due solely to
Speaker A
the possession of talents for many people who have great talent remain poor while other who have very little Talent get rich studying the people who have got rich we find that there are an average lot and in respects having no greater talents
Speaker A
and abilities than other men it is evident that they do not get rich because they possess talents and abilities that other men have not but because they happen to do things in a certain way getting rich is not the result of saving
Speaker A
or Thrift many very penurious people are poor while free Spenders often get rich nor is getting rich due to doing things which others fail to do for two men in the same business often do exactly the same things and when it gets Rich while
Speaker A
the other remains poor or becomes bankrupt from all these things we must come to the conclusion that getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way if getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way and if like
Speaker A
causes always produce like effects then any man or woman who can do things in that way can become rich and the whole matter is brought within the domain of exact science the question arises here whether this certain way may not be so difficult that
Speaker A
only a few may follow it this cannot be true as we have seen so far as natural ability is concerned talented people get rich and Blockheads get rich intellectually brilliant people get rich very stupid people get rich physically
Speaker A
strong people get rich and weak and sickly people get rich some degree of ability to think and understand is of course essential but in so far natural ability is concerned any man or woman who has sense enough to
Speaker A
read and understand these words can certainly get rich also we have seen that it is not a matter of environment location counts for something one would not go to the heart of the Sierra and expect to do successful
Speaker A
business getting rich involves a necessity of dealing with men and of being where there are people to deal with and if these people are inclined to deal in the way you want to deal so much the better but that is about as far as environment
Speaker A
goes if anybody else in your town can get rich so can you and if anybody else in your state can get rich so can you again it is not a matter of choosing some particular business or profession people
Speaker A
get rich in every business and in every profession while their next door neighbors in the same vocation remain in poverty it is true that you will do best in a business that you like and which is congenial to you and if you have certain
Speaker A
talents that are well developed you will do best in a business that calls for the exercise of those talents also you will do best in a business which is suited for your locality and Ice Cream Parlor would do better in a warm climate than
Speaker A
in Greenland and a salmon fishery will succeed better in the Northwest than in Florida where there is no salmon but aside from these General limitations getting rich is not dependent upon your engaging in some particular business but upon your learning to do things in a
Speaker A
certain way if you are now in business and anybody else in your locality is getting rich in the same business while you are not getting rich it is because you're not doing things in the same way that the other person is doing them
Speaker A
no one is prevented from getting rich by lack of capital true as you get Capital the increase becomes more easy and Rapid but one who has capital is already rich and does not need to consider how to become so no matter how poor you may be
Speaker A
if you begin to do things in a certain way you will begin to get rich and you will begin to have Capital the getting of capital is a part of the process of getting rich it is a part of the result
Speaker A
that invariably follows the doing of things in a certain way you may be the poorest man on the continent and be deeply in debt you may have neither friends influence nor resources but if you begin to do things in this way you
Speaker A
must infallibly begin to get rich for like causes must produce like effects if you have no Capital you can get Capital if you're in the wrong business you can get into the right business if you are in the wrong location you can go into
Speaker A
the right location you can do so by beginning in your present business and in your present location to do things in a certain way which causes success chapter three is opportunity monetized no man is kept poor because opportunity
Speaker A
has been taken away from him because other people have monetized the wealth and have put a fence around it you may be shut off from engaging in business in certain lines but there are other channels open to you
Speaker A
probably it would be hard for you to get control of any of the great railroad systems that field is pretty well monopolized but the electric Railway business is still in its infancy and offers plenty of scope for Enterprise
Speaker A
and it will be but a very few years until traffic and transportation through the air will become a great industry and all these branches will give employment to hundreds of thousands and perhaps to millions of people why not turn your
Speaker A
attention to the development of aerial Transportation instead of competing with JJ Hill and others for chance in the steam Railway world it is quite true that if you are a Workman and the employee of the steel trust you have very little chance of
Speaker A
becoming the owner of the plant in which you work but it is also true that if you will commence to act in a certain way you can soon leave the employee of the steel trust you can buy a farm and from
Speaker A
10 to 40 acres and engage in business as a producer of food stuff there is great opportunity at this time for men who will live upon small tracts of land and cultivate the same intensively such men will certainly get rich you may say that
Speaker A
it is impossible for you to get the land but I'm going to prove to you that it is not impossible and that you can certainly get a farm if you will go to work in a certain way at different periods the tide of
Speaker A
opportunity sets in different directions according to the needs of the whole and a particular stage of social Evolution which has been reached at present in America it is setting towards Agriculture and the aligned Industries and professions today opportunities open
Speaker A
before the factory worker in his line it is open before the businessman who supplies the farmer more than before the one who supplies the factory worker and before the professional man who Waits upon the farmer more than before the one
Speaker A
who serves the working class there is an abundance of opportunity for the man who will go with the tide instead of trying to swim against it so the factory workers either as individuals or as a class are not
Speaker A
deprived of opportunity the workers are not being kept down by their masters they are not being grounded by the trust and combinations of capital as a class they are where they are because they do not do things in a certain way if the
Speaker A
workers of America choose to do so they could follow the example of their brothers in Belgium and other countries and establish great department stores and Cooperative Industries they could elect men of their own class to office and pass laws favoring the development
Speaker A
of such Cooperative Industries and in a few years they could take the Peaceable possession of the industrial fields the working class may become the master class whenever they will begin to do things in a certain way the law of
Speaker A
wealth is the same for them as it is for all others this they must learn and they will remain where they are as long as they continue to do as they do the individual worker however is not held down by the
Speaker A
ignorance or the mental slothfulness of his class he can follow the tide of opportunity to riches and this book will tell him how no one is kept in poverty by the shortness in the supply of riches there is more than enough for all a palace as
Speaker A
large as the capital of Washington might be built for every family on Earth from the building material on the United States alone and under intensive cultivation this country would produce wool cotton linen and silk enough the cloth each person in the world finer
Speaker A
than Solomon was a ride in all his glory together with food enough to feed them all luxuriously the visible Supply is practically inexhaustible and the invisible Supply really is inexhaustible everything you see on earth is made from one original
Speaker A
substance out of all which all things proceed new forms are constantly being made and older ones are dissolving but all their shapes assumed by one thing there's no limit to the supply of formless stuff or original substance the universe is made
Speaker A
out of it but it was not all used in making the universe the spaces in through and between the forms of the visible Universe are permeated and filled with their original substance with the formless stuff with the raw material of all things ten
Speaker A
thousand times as much has been made might still be made and even then we should not have exhaust the supply of universal raw material no man therefore is poor because nature is poor or because there is not enough to go around
Speaker A
nature is an inexhaustible Storehouse of riches the supply will never run short original substance is alive with Creative Energy and is constantly producing more forms when the supply of building material is exhausted more will be produced when the soil is exhausted
Speaker A
so that food stuff and materials for clothing will no longer grow upon it it will be renewed or more soil will be made when all the goals in silver has been dug from the earth if man is still
Speaker A
in such a stage of Social Development that he needs gold and silver more will be produced from the formless the formless stuff responds to the needs of man it will not let him be without any good thing this is true of man
Speaker A
collectively the race as a whole is always abundantly rich and if individuals are poor it is because they do not follow the certain way of doing things which makes the individual man or woman rich formless stuff is intelligent it is
Speaker A
stuff which thinks it is alive and it always impels towards more life it is the natural and inherent impulse of life to seek to live more it is the nature of intelligence to enlarge itself in the Consciousness to seek to extend its
Speaker A
boundaries and find Fuller expression the universe of forms has been made by formist living substance throwing itself into form in order to express itself more fully the universe is a great living presence always moving inherently towards more life and Fuller functioning nature is
Speaker A
formed for the advancement of Life its impelling motive is the increase of life for this cause everything which can possibly minister to life is bountifully provided there can be No Lack unless God is to contradict themselves and nullify
Speaker A
their own works you are not kept poor by lack in the supply of riches it is a fact which I so demonstrate a little farther on that even the resources of the former Supply are at the command of
Speaker A
the man or woman will act and think in a certain way chapter 4 the first principle in the science of getting rich thought is the only Power which can produce tangible riches from the form of substance which thinks and a thought of form in
Speaker A
the substance produces the form original substance moves according to its thoughts every form and process you see in nature is the visible expression of a thought in original substance as the formless stuff thinks of a form it takes that form as it thinks of emotion
Speaker A
it makes that motion that is the way all things were created we live in a thought World which is part of a thought Universe the thought of a moving Universe extended throughout formless substance and the thinking stuff moving
Speaker A
according to that thought took the form of systems of planets and maintains that form thinking substance takes the form of its thought and moves according to the thought holding the idea of a circling system of suns in the worlds it takes the form of
Speaker A
these bodies and moves them as it thinks thinking the form of a slow growing oak tree it moves accordingly and produces the tree through centuries may be required to do the work in creating the formless seems to move according to the
Speaker A
lines of motion it has established the thought of an oak tree does not cause the instant formation of a full-grown tree but it does start in motion the forces which will produce the tree a long established lines of growth
Speaker A
every thought of form held in thinking substance causes the creation of the form but always or at least generally along the lines of growth and action already established the thought of a house of a certain construction if it were impressed upon
Speaker A
formless substance might not cause an instant formation of the house but it would cause the Turning of creative energies already working in trade and commerce into such channels as to result in a speedy building of the house and if
Speaker A
there were no existing channels through which the Creative Energy could work then the house would be formed directly from Primal substance without waiting for the slow processes of the organic and inorganic world no thought of form can be impressed upon
Speaker A
original substance without causing the creation of the form man is a Thinking Center and can originate thought all the forms that man Fashions with his hands must first exist in his thought he cannot shape a thing until he has
Speaker A
thought that thing so far man has confined his efforts wholly to the work of his hands he has applied manual labor to the world of forms seeking to change or modify those already existing he has never thought of
Speaker A
trying to cause the creation of new forms by impressing his thoughts upon formless substance when men has a thought form he takes material from the forms of Nature and makes an image of the form which is in his mind he has so far made little to no
Speaker A
effort to cooperate with formless intelligence to work with the father he has not dreamed that he can do what he sees the father doing man reshapes and modifies existing forms by manual labor he has given no attention to the
Speaker A
question whether he may not produce things from formless substance by communicating his thoughts to it we propose to prove that he may do so to prove that any man or woman may do so and to show how as our first step we must lay down three
Speaker A
fundamental prospospositions first we assert that there is one original formless stuff or substance from which all things are made all the seemingly many elements are but different presentations of one element all the many forms found in organic and
Speaker A
inorganic nature are but different shapes made from the same stuff all this stuff is thinking stuff a thought held in produces the form of the thought thought and thinking substance produces shape man is a Thinking Center capable of
Speaker A
original thought if men and women can communicate their thoughts to original thinking substance they can cause the creation or formation of the thing they think about to summarize this there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and
Speaker A
which in its original state permeates penetrates and fills the inner spaces of the universe a thought and this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought can form things in his thought and by impressing his thought upon formless
Speaker A
substance can cause the things they think about to be created and may be asked if I can prove these statements and without going into details I answer that I can do so both by Logic and experience reasoning back from the
Speaker A
phenomena of form and thought I come to one original thinking substance and reasoning forward from this thinking substance I come to woman and Man's power to cause the formation of the thing they think about and by experiment I find the reasoning true and this is my
Speaker A
strongest proof if one man or woman who reads this book gets Rich by doing what it tells them to do that is evidence in supporting of my claim but if every man and woman who does what it tells them to do to get
Speaker A
rich that it is positive proof until someone goes through the process and fails the theory is true until process fails and this process will not fail for every man and woman who does exactly what this book tells them to do they
Speaker A
will get rich I've said that men and women get rich by doing things in a certain way and in order to do so men and women must become able to think in a certain way a man and woman's way of doing things is
Speaker A
a direct result of the way they think about things to do things in a way you want to do them you will have to acquire the ability to think the way you want to think this is the first step towards
Speaker A
getting rich what you want to think is to think truth regardless of appearances every man and woman has the natural and inherent power to think what they want to think but it requires far more effort to do so than
Speaker A
it does to think the thoughts was are suggested by appearances to think according to appearance is easy to think truth regardless of appearance as laborious and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work man is called upon to perform
Speaker A
there is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought it is the hardest work in the world this is especially true when truth is contrary to appearances every appearance in the
Speaker A
visible World tends to produce a corresponding form in the mind which observes it and this can only be prevented by holding the thought of the truth to look upon the appearances of disease will produce the form of disease in your
Speaker A
own mind and ultimately in your body unless you hold a thought of the truth which is that there is no disease it is only an appearance and the reality is health to look upon the appearances of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your
Speaker A
own mind unless you hold to the truth that there is no poverty there is only abundance to think Health when surrounded by the appearance of disease or to think riches when in the mindset of appearances of poverty requires power but he or she who
Speaker A
acquires this power becomes a mastermind you can conquer fate you can have what you want this power can only be acquired by getting hold of the basic fact which is behind all appearances and that fact is that there is one thinking substance
Speaker A
from which and by which all things are made then we must grasp the truth that every thought held in this substance becomes a form and that men can so Express his thoughts upon it as to cause them to take form and become visible
Speaker A
things when we realize this we lose all doubt and fear for we know that we can create what we want to create and we can get what we want to have and can become what we want to be as a first step towards
Speaker A
getting rich you must believe the three fundamental statements given previously in this chapter and in order to emphasize them I repeat them here number one there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which in its original state permeates
Speaker A
penetrates and fills inner spaces of the universe a thought in this substance produces a thing that is imaged by the thought number two men and women can form things in their thought and by impressing their thoughts upon formless
Speaker A
substance can cause a thing they think about to be created and number three you must lay aside all other concepts of the universe than this monistic one and you must dwell upon this until it is fixed in your mind and
Speaker A
has become your habitual thought I advise you to read these Creed statements over and over again fix every word upon your memory and meditate upon them until you firmly believe what they say if a doubt comes to you cast it
Speaker A
aside as a sin do not listen to arguments against this idea do not go to churches or lectures where a contrary concept of things is taught or preached do not read magazines or books which teach a different idea if you get mixed
Speaker A
up in your faith all your efforts will be in vain do not ask why these things are true nor speculate as to how they can be true simply take them on trust the signs of getting rich begins with the absolute
Speaker A
acceptance of this faith chapter 5 increasing life you must get rid of the last message of the old idea that there is a deity who will it is that you should be poor or whose purpose may be served by keeping
Speaker A
you in poverty the intelligent substance which is all and in all and which lives in all and lives in you is a consciously living substance being a consciously living substance it must have the nature and inherent desire of every living
Speaker A
intelligence for increase of life every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life because life in the mere Act of living must increase itself seed dropped into the ground Springs into activity and an act of living
Speaker A
produces a hundred more seeds Life by living multiplies itself it is forever becoming more it must do so if it continues to be at all intelligence is under the same necessity for continuous increase every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think
Speaker A
another thought Consciousness is continually expanding every fact we learn leads us to the learning of another fact knowledge is continually increasing every Talent we cultivate brings to the mind the desire to cultivate another Talent we are subject to the urge of Life seeking
Speaker A
expression whichever drives us on to know more and do more and to be more in order to know more do more and be more we must have more we must have things to use for we learn and do and become only
Speaker A
by using things we must get rich so that we can live more the desire for riches is simply the capacity for larger life seeking fulfillment every desire is the effort of an unexpressed possibility to come into action it is power seeking to
Speaker A
manifest which causes desire that which makes you want more money is the same as that which makes the plants grow it is life seeking Fuller expression the one living substance must be subject to this inherent law of all life it is
Speaker A
permeated with a desire to live more that is why it is under the necessity of creating things the one substance desires to live more in you hence it wants you to have all the things you can use it is the desire of God that you should
Speaker A
get rich God wants you to get rich because they can express themselves better through you if you have plenty of things to use in giving them expression God can live more in you if you have a limited command of the means of life the
Speaker A
universe desires you to have everything you want to have nature is friendly to your plants everything is naturally for you make up your mind that this is true it is essential however that your purpose should harmonize with the purpose that
Speaker A
is in all you must want real life Not Mere pleasure of sensual gratification life is the performance of function and the individual really lives only when he performs every function physical mental and spiritual of which he or she is
Speaker A
capable without access to any you do not want to get rich in order to live swanishly for the gratification of animal desires the it's not life but the performance of every physical function is a part of life and no one lives completely who denies
Speaker A
the impulses of the body a normal and healthful expression you do not want to get rich solely to enjoy mental Pleasures to get knowledge to gratify ambition to outshine others to be famous all these are a legitimate part of life
Speaker A
but the man or woman who lives for the pleasures of the intellect alone will only have a partial life and they will never be satisfied with their lot you do not want to get rich solely for the good of others to Lose Yourself for
Speaker A
the Salvation of mankind to experience the joys of philanthropy and sacrifice the joys of the Soul are only a part of life and they are no better or nobler than any other part you want to get rich in order that you
Speaker A
may eat drink and be merry when it is time to do these things in order that you may surround yourself with beautiful things see distant lands feed your mind and develop your intellect in order that you may love men and women and do kind
Speaker A
things and be able to play a good part in helping the world to find truth but remember that extreme altruism is no better and no nobler than extreme selfishness both are mistakes get rid of the idea that God wants you to sacrifice
Speaker A
yourself for others and that you can secure his or her favor by doing so God requires nothing of the kind what God wants is that you should make the most of yourself for yourself and for others and that you can help others
Speaker A
more by making the most of yourself than in any other way you can make the most of yourself only by getting rich so it is right and praiseworthy that you should give your first and best thought to the work of
Speaker A
acquiring wealth remember however that the desired substance is for all and its movements must be for more life to all it cannot be made to work for Less life to any because it is equally in all seeking riches in life
Speaker A
intelligent substance will make things for you but will not take things away from someone else and give them to you you must get rid of the thought of competition you are to create not to compete for what it's already created
Speaker A
you do not have to take anything away from anyone you do not have to drive sharp Bargains you do not have to cheat or take advantage you do not need to let any man or woman work for you for less
Speaker A
than they earn you do not have to convert the property of others or to look at it with Wishful eyes no man has anything of which you cannot have the like and that without taking what he has away from him or her
Speaker A
you are to become a Creator not a competitor you're going to get what you want but in such a way that when you get it every other man or woman will have more than he or she has now I am very
Speaker A
well aware that they are men and women who get a vast amount of money by proceeding in direct opposition to the statements in the paragraph above and may add a word of explanation here man and woman of the plutocratic type
Speaker A
who become very rich and do sometimes purely by their extraordinary ability on the plan of competition and sometimes they unconsciously relate themselves to substance and its great purposes and movements for the general radical upbuilding through industrial Evolution Rockefeller Carnegie Morgan
Speaker A
et al have been the unconscious agents of the Supreme in the necessary work of systemizing and organizing productive industry and in the end their work will contribute immensely towards increased life for all their day is nearly over they have organized production and will
Speaker A
soon be succeeded by the Agents of the multitude who will organize the Machinery of distribution the multi-millionaires are like the monster reptiles of the prehistoric eras they play a necessary part in The evolutionary process but the same power
Speaker A
with produced them will dispose of them and it is well to bear in mind that they have never been really rich a record of the private lives of most of this class will show that they have really been the
Speaker A
most abject and wretched of the poor rich is secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent they are yours today and in others tomorrow remember if you are to become rich in a scientific and certain way you
Speaker A
must rise entirely out of the competitive thought you must never think for a moment that Supply is limited just as soon as you are to begin to think that all the money is being cornered and controlled by bankers and others and
Speaker A
that you must exert yourself to get laws passed to stop this process and so on in that moment you drop into the competitive mind and your power to cause creation is gone for the time being and what's worse you will probably arrest
Speaker A
the creative movements you have already instituted know that there are countless millions of dollars worth of gold in the mountains of the earth not yet brought to light and know that if there were not more would be created from thinking
Speaker A
substance to supply your needs know that the money you need will come even if it is necessary for thousands of men and women to be led to the discovery of new gold mines tomorrow never look at the visible Supply look always at the
Speaker A
Limitless riches and form a substance and know that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use them Nobody by cornering the visible Supply can prevent you from getting what is yours so never allow yourself to think for an
Speaker A
instant that all the best building spots will be taken before you get ready to build your house unless you hurry never worry about the trust and combines and get anxious for fear that they will soon come to own the whole earth never get
Speaker A
afraid that you will lose what you want because some other person beats you to it possibly happen you're not seeking anything that is possessed by anyone else you are causing what you want to be created from formless substance and
Speaker A
Supply is Without Limits stick to the formulated statement there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which in its original state permeates penetrates and fills the inner spaces of the universe a thought and the substance produces a
Speaker A
thing that is imaged by the thought man and woman can form things in their thought and by impressing their thought upon form of substance can cause the thing he or she thinks about to be created chapter 6 how riches come to you
Speaker A
when I say that you do not have to drive sharp Bargains I do not mean that you do not have to drive any Bargains at all or that you are above the necessity for having any dealings with your fellow man
Speaker A
or woman I mean that you will not deal with them unfairly you do not have to get something for nothing you can give to every man or woman more than you take from them you cannot give every man or woman more
Speaker A
in cash value than you take from them but you can give them more in use value than the cash value of the thing you take from them the paper ink and other material in this book may not be worth
Speaker A
the money you pay for it but if the idea suggests buy it brings you thousands of dollars you have not been wronged by those who sold it to you they have given you a great use value for a small cash
Speaker A
value let us suppose that I own a picture by one of the greatest artists which in any civilized Community is worth thousands of dollars I take it to Bath and Ray and buy salesmanship induce an Eskimo who gives a bundle of Furs worth 500 for it
Speaker A
I really have wronged him for he has no use for the picture it has no use value to them it will not add to their life but suppose I give them a gun worth fifty dollars for his first then they
Speaker A
have made a good bargain they have a use for the gun and it will get them many more Furs and much food it would add to their life in every way it will make them Rich when you rise for the
Speaker A
competitive to the creative plane you can scan your business transactions very strictly and if you are selling any man anything which does not add more to their life than the thing they give you in exchange you can't afford to stop it
Speaker A
you do not have to beat anybody in business and if you are in a business which does beat people get out of it at once give every person more and use value than you take from them in cash value
Speaker A
then you are adding to the life of the World by every business transaction who have people working for you you must take from them more in cash value then you pay them in wages but you can so organize your business that it will be
Speaker A
filled with the principle of advancement and so that each employee who wishes to do so may Advance a little every day you can make your business do for your employees what this book is doing for you you can so conduct your business
Speaker A
that it will be a sort of ladder by which every employee who will take the trouble may climb to riches themselves and give the opportunity if they will not do so it is not your fault and finally because you are to cause the
Speaker A
creation of your riches from formless substance which permeates all your environment it does not follow that they are to take shape from the atmosphere and come into being before your eyes if you want a sewing machine for instance I do not mean to tell you that
Speaker A
you are to impress the thought of a sewing machine on thinking substance until the machine is formed without hands in the room where you sit or elsewhere but if you want a sewing machine hold the mental image of it with
Speaker A
the most positive certainty that it is being made or it is on its way to you after once forming the thought have the most absolute and unquestioning faith that the sewing machine is coming never think of it or speak of it in any other
Speaker A
way than as being sure to arrive claim it as already yours it will be bought to you by the power of the Supreme intelligence acting upon the minds of men if you live and mean it may be that
Speaker A
a man will be brought from Texas or Japan to engage in some transaction which will result in you getting what you want if so the whole matter will be as much to the man's Advantage as it is to yours
Speaker A
do not forget for a moment that the thinking substance is through all in all communicating with all and can influence all the desired thinking substance for Fuller life and Better Living has caused the creation of all the sewing machines
Speaker A
already being made and it can cause the creation of millions more and will whenever men or woman set it to Emotion by desire and faith and by acting in a certain way you can certainly have a sewing machine
Speaker A
in your house and it is just as certain that you can have any other thing or things which you want and which you will use for the advancement of your own life and the lives of others you need not
Speaker A
hesitate about asking largely it is your father's pleasure to give you the kingdom said Jesus original substance wants you to live all that is possible in you and wants you to have all that you can or will use for the
Speaker A
living of the most abundant life if you fix upon your Consciousness the fact that you desire you feel for the possession of riches is one with the desire of omnipotence for more complete expression your faith becomes invincible once I saw what a boy sitting at a piano
Speaker A
and vanley trying to bring Harmony out of the keys and I saw that he was grieved and provoked by his inability to play real music I asked him the cause of his vexation and he answered I can feel the music in me but I can't
Speaker A
make my hands go right the music in him was the urge of original substance containing all the possibilities of all life all that there is of music was seeking expression through the child God the one substance is trying to live
Speaker A
and do and enjoy things through Humanity God is saying I want hands to build wonderful structures to play Divine harmonies to paint glorious pictures I want feet to run my errands eyes to see my Beauties tongues to tell Mighty truths and to
Speaker A
sing marvelous songs and so on all that there is a possibility is seeking expression through men and women God wants those who can play music to have pianos and every other instrument and to have the means to cultivate their talents to the
Speaker A
fullest extent God wants those who can appreciate Beauty to be able to surround themselves with beautiful things God wants those who can discern truth and to have every opportunity to travel and observe God wants those who can appreciate dress to be beautifully
Speaker A
clothed and those who can appreciate good food to be luxuriously fed God wants all these things because it is them themselves that enjoys and appreciates them it is God who wants to play and sing and enjoy Beauty and
Speaker A
Proclaim truth and wear fine clothes and eat good food it is God that worketh in you to Will and to do said Paul the desire you feel for riches is the infinite seeking to express themselves in you and God sought to find expression
Speaker A
in a little boy at the piano so you need not hesitate to ask largely your part is to focalize and express the desire to God this is a difficult point with most people they retain something of an old idea that poverty and
Speaker A
self-sacrifice are pleasing to God they look upon poverty as a part of the plan a necessity of nature they have the idea that God has finished their work and made all that they can make and that the majority of men and women must stay poor
Speaker A
because there is not enough to go around they hold so much of this erroneous thought that they feel ashamed for asking for wealth they try not to want more than the very modest confidence just enough to make them fairly
Speaker A
comfortable I recall now the case of one student who was told that he must get in mind a clear picture of the things he desired so that the creative thought of them might be impressed upon the form of
Speaker A
substance he was a very poor man living in a rented house and having only what he earned from day to day he cannot grasp the fact that all wealth was his so after thinking the matter over he decided that he might reasonably ask for
Speaker A
a new rug for the Flora of his best room in an anthracite coal stove to heat the house during the cold weather following the instructions given in this book he obtained these things in a few months and then it dawned upon him that he has
Speaker A
not asked enough he went through the house in which he lived and planned all the improvements he would like to make in it he mentally added a bay window here and a room there until it was complete in his mind and his ideal home
Speaker A
and then he planned its furnishings holding the whole picture in his mind he began living in a certain way moving toward what he wanted and he owns the house now and is rebuilding it after the form of his mental image and now with
Speaker A
still larger Faith he is going on to get greater things it has been on to him according to his faith and it is so with you and with all of us chapter 7 gratitude the illustrations given in the last
Speaker A
chapter will have conveyed to the reader for the fact that the first step towards getting rich is to convey the idea of your wants to the formless substance this is true and you will see that in order to do so it becomes necessary to
Speaker A
relate yourself to the formless intelligence in a harmonious way to secure this harmonious relation to a matter of such primary and vital importance that I shall give some space to its discussion here and give you instructions which if you will follow
Speaker A
them will be certain to bring you into perfect Unity of mind with God the whole process of mental adjustment and atonement can be summed up in one word gratitude first he believed that there is one intelligent substance from
Speaker A
which all things proceed second you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire and third you relate yourself to it by feeling of deep and profound gratitude many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack
Speaker A
of gratitude having received one gift from God they cut their wires which connect them with God by failing to make acknowledgment it is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth the more wealth we shall receive and it is easy
Speaker A
also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to God in thankful acknowledgment the more grateful we fix our mind on the Supreme when good things come to us the
Speaker A
more good things we will receive and the more rapidly they will come and the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the Mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come if it is a new thought to you that
Speaker A
gratitude brings your whole mind into closer harmony with the creative energies of the universe consider it well and you will see that it is true the good thing you already have come to you along the lines of obedience to
Speaker A
certain laws gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into the competitive thought gratitude alone can keep you looking
Speaker A
towards the all and prevent you from falling into the air of thinking of the supply as limited and to do that would be fatal to your hopes there is a law of gratitude and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law and if
Speaker A
you are to get the results you seek the law of gratitude is the natural principle that action and reaction are always equal and in opposite directions The Grateful outreaching of your mind and thankful praise to the Supreme is a
Speaker A
Liberation or expenditure of force it cannot fail to reach that to which it's addressed and the reaction is an instantaneous movement towards you draw an eye onto God and He will draw nigh unto you that is a statement of physiological
Speaker A
truth and if your gratitude is strong and constant the reaction and form of substance will be strong and continuous the movement of the things you want will be always towards you notice the grateful attitude that Jesus Took he
Speaker A
always seems to be saying I thank thee father that thou Hearst me you cannot exercise much power without gratitude for it is the gratitude that keeps you connected with power but the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more
Speaker A
blessings in the future without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are the moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are you begin to lose ground you fix
Speaker A
attention upon the common the ordinary the poor and the squalid and mean and your mind takes the form of these things then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the formless and the common the poor the squalid the mean
Speaker A
will come to you to permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things on the other hand to fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with
Speaker A
the best and to become the best the creative power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention to we are thinking substance and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks
Speaker A
about the Grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best therefore it tends to become the best it takes the form or character of the best and will receive the best also faith is born of gratitude The Grateful mind continually expects
Speaker A
good things and expectation becomes faith the reaction of gratitude upon one's own mind produces faith and every outgoing wave of gratitude Thanksgiving increases faith he who has no feeling of gratitude cannot long retain a living faith and without a living faith you cannot get
Speaker A
rich by the creative method as we shall see in the following chapters it is necessary then to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you and to give thanks continuously and because all
Speaker A
things have contributed to your advancement you should include all things in your gratitude do not waste time thinking or talking about the shortcomings or wrong actions of plutocrats or trust magnets their organization of the world has made your opportunity all you get really
Speaker A
comes to you because of them do not rage against corrupt politicians if it were not for politicians we should fall into Anarchy and your opportunity would be greatly lessened God has worked for a long time and very patiently to
Speaker A
bring us up to where we are in industry and government and God is going right on with God's work there is not the least doubt that God will do away with plutocrats trust magnets captains of industry and politicians as soon as they
Speaker A
can be sparred but in the meantime behold that they are all very good remember that they are all helping to arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come to you and be grateful to them all this will bring
Speaker A
you into harmonious relations with the good in everything and the good in everything will move towards you chapter 8 thinking in a certain way re-listen chapter 6 and hear again the story of the man who formed a mental
Speaker A
image of his house and you will get a fair idea of the initial step towards getting rich you must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want you cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself
Speaker A
you must have it before you can give it and many people fail to impress thinking substance because they have themselves only a vague and Misty concept of the things they want to do to have or to become it is not enough that you should have a
Speaker A
general idea for wealth to do good with everybody has that desire it is not enough that you should have to wish to travel see things live more Etc everybody has those desires also if you're going to send a wireless
Speaker A
message to a friend you would not send the letters of the alphabet in their order and let him construct the message for himself nor would you take words at random from the dictionary you would send a coherent sentence one which means
Speaker A
something when you try to impress your wants upon substance remember that it must be done by a coherent statement you must know what you want and be definite you can never get rich or start the creative power into action by sending
Speaker A
out uninformed longings and vague desires go over your desires just as the man I have described went over his house see just what you want and get a clear mental picture of it as you wish it to look when you get it
Speaker A
that clear mental picture you must have continually in mind as a sailor has in mind the port forward which is sailing the ship you must keep your face towards it at all times you must no more lose sight of it then the steer man loses
Speaker A
sight of the compass it is not necessary to take exercises in concentration nor to set apart special times for prayer and affirmations nor to go into the silence nor to a cult stunts of any kind their things are well enough but all you
Speaker A
need is to know what you want and to want it badly enough so that it will stay in your thoughts spend as much of your leisure time as you can in contemplating your picture but no one needs to take exercise and
Speaker A
concentrate his mind on things which he really wants it is the things you do not really care about which require effort to fix your attention upon them and unless you really want to get rich so that the desire is strong enough to hold
Speaker A
your thoughts directed to the purpose as the magnetic pole holds the needle of the compass it will hardly be worthwhile for you to try to carry out the instructions given in this book the methods Heron set forth are for people
Speaker A
who desire for riches is strong enough to overcome mental laziness and the love of ease and make them work the more clear and definite you make your picture then and the more you dwell upon it bringing out all its delightful details
Speaker A
the stronger your desire will be and the stronger your desire the easier it will be to hold your mind fixed upon the picture of what you want something more is necessary however then early to see the picture clearly if that is all you
Speaker A
do you're only a dreamer and you will have little or no power for accomplishment behind your Clear Vision must be the purpose to realize it to bring it out in tangible expression and behind this purpose must be an invincible and
Speaker A
unwavering faith that the thing is already yours and that it is at hand and you have only to take possession of it live in the new house mentally until it takes form around you physically in the mental Realm enter at once into full
Speaker A
enjoyment of things you want whatsoever thing ye asked for when ye pray believe that ye received them and ye shall have them said Jesus see the things you want as if they were actually around you all the time see
Speaker A
yourself as owning and using them make use of them in imagination just as you will use them when they are in your tangible possessions dwell upon your mental picture until it is clear and distinct and then take the mental
Speaker A
attitude of ownership toward everything in that picture take possession of it in mind in the full faith that is actually yours hold to this mental ownership do not waver for an instant in the faith that it is real
Speaker A
and remember what was said in the preceding chapter about gratitude be as thankful for it all the time as you expect to be when it has taken form the man who can sincerely thank God for the things which he or she owns only an
Speaker A
imagination has real Faith he or she will get rich he or she will cause the creation of whatsoever they want you do not need to pray repeatedly for things you want it is not necessary to tell God about it every day
Speaker A
foreign use not vain repetitions as the heathens do said Jesus said to his pupils for your father knoweth the ye had need of these things before ye ask him your part is to intellectually formulate your desires for the things which make for a
Speaker A
larger life and to get these desire arranged into a coherent whole and then to impress this whole desire upon the form of substance which has the power and the will to bring you what you want you do not make this impression by
Speaker A
repeating strings of words you make it by holding the vision with unshakable purpose to attain it and with steadfast faith that you do attain it the answer to prayer is not according to your faith while you are talking but according to
Speaker A
your faith while you are working you cannot express the mind of God by having a special Sabbath day set apart to tell God what you want and they're forgetting God during the rest of the week you cannot impress God by having
Speaker A
special hours to go into your closet and pray if you then dismiss the matter from your mind until The Hour of Prayer comes again oral prayer is well enough and has its effects especially upon yourself and clarifying your vision and strengthening
Speaker A
your faith but it is not your oral petition which get you what you want in order to get rich you do not need a Sweet Hour of Prayer you need to pray without seizing and by prayer I mean holding steadily to
Speaker A
your vision with the purpose to cause its creation into solid form and the faith that you are doing so believe that ye received them the whole matter turns on receiving once you have clearly formed your vision when you have formed it it is well to make a
Speaker A
oral statement addressing the Supreme in reverent prayer and from that moment you must in mind receive what you ask for live confidently plan for greater Journeys think and speak of all the things you have asked for in terms of
Speaker A
actual present ownership imagine environment in a financial condition exactly as you want them and live all the time in that imaginary environment and financial condition mind however that you do not need this as a mirror dreamer and Castle Builder hold to the
Speaker A
faith that the imaginary is being realized and to the purpose to realize it remember that it is Faith and purpose in the use of the imagination which makes the difference between the scientist and the dreamer and Having learned this fact
Speaker A
it is here that you must learn the proper use of the will chapter 9 how to use the will to set about getting rich in a scientific way you do not try to apply your willpower to anything outside of
Speaker A
yourself you have no right to do so anyway it is wrong to apply your will to other men or women in order to get them to do what you wish done it is as fragrantly wrong to coerce people by
Speaker A
mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power if compelling people by physical Force to do things for you reduces them to slavery compelling them by mental means accomplishes exactly the same thing the only difference is in methods if taking
Speaker A
things for people by physical force is robbery then taking things by mental force is robbery also there is no difference in principle you have no right to use your willpower upon another person even for his or her own good for
Speaker A
you do not know what is good for them the signs of getting rich does not require you to apply power or Force to any other person in any way whatsoever there is not the slightest necessity for doing so indeed any attempt to use your
Speaker A
willpower upon others will only tend to defeat your purpose you do not need to apply your will to things in order to compel them to come to you that would simply be trying to coherce God and would be foolish and useless as
Speaker A
well as irreverent you do not have to compel God to give you good things any more than you have to use your willpower to make the sun rise you do not have to use your willpower to conquer an unfriendly deity or to make
Speaker A
stubborn or in rebellious forces do your bidding substance is friendly to you and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it to get rich you need only to use your willpower upon
Speaker A
yourself when you know what to think and do then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things that is the legitimate use of the will in getting what you want to use it
Speaker A
in holding yourself to the right course use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in a certain way do not try to project your will or your thoughts or your mind out into space to act on things or people keep your mind at home
Speaker A
it can accomplish more there than anywhere else use your mind to form a mental image of what you want and to hold that Vision with faith and purpose and to use your will to keep your mind working in the
Speaker A
right way the more steady and continuous your faith and purpose the more rapidly you will get rich because you will make only positive Impressions upon subconscious mind and you will not neutralize or offset them by negative Impressions the picture of your desires
Speaker A
held with faith and purpose is taken up by the formless and permeates it to Great distances through the universe for all I know as this impression spreads all things are set moving towards its realization every living thing every inanimate thing
Speaker A
and things yet uncreated are stirred towards bringing into being that which you want all Force begins to be exerted in that direction all things begin to move towards you the minds of people everywhere are influenced towards doing the things necessary to the fulfilling
Speaker A
of your desires and they work for you unconsciously but you can check all this by starting a negative impression in the formless substance doubt or unbelief as is certain to start a movement away from you as faith and purpose are to start
Speaker A
one towards you it is not by understanding this that most people who try to make use of mental signs and getting rich make their failure every hour and moment you spend in giving heed and doubts and fears every
Speaker A
hour you spend in worry every hour in which your soul is possessed by unbelief sets a current away from you in the whole domain of intelligent substance all the promises are unto them that believe and unto them only
Speaker A
notice how insistent Jesus was upon this point of belief and now you know the reason why belief is all important it behooves you to guard your thoughts and as your beliefs will be shaped to a very great extent by the things you observe and
Speaker A
think about it is important that you should command your attention and hear the will comes into use for it is by your will that you determine upon what things your attention shall be fixed if you want to become rich you must not
Speaker A
make a study of poverty things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites health is never to be attained by studying disease and thinking about disease righteousness is not to be promoted by studying sin and thinking about Sin no one ever got rich
Speaker A
by studying poverty and thinking about poverty medicine as a science of disease has increased disease religion has a signs of sin has promoted sin and economics as a study of poverty will fill the world with wretchedness and want
Speaker A
do not talk about poverty do not investigate it or concern yourself with it never mind what its causes are you have nothing to do with them what concerns you is the cure do not spend your time in charitable work or charity
Speaker A
movements all charity only tends to percolate the wretchedness it aims to eradicate I do not say that you should be hard-hearted or unkind and refuse to hear the Cry of need but you must not try to eradicate poverty in any of the
Speaker A
conventional ways put poverty behind you and put all that pertains to it behind you and make good get rich that is the best way you can help the poor and you cannot hold the mental image which it is to make you
Speaker A
rich if you fill your mind with pictures of poverty do not read books or papers which give circumstantial accounts of the wretchedness of the tenement dwellers of the horrors of child labor and so on do not read anything which
Speaker A
fills your mind with gloomy images of want and suffering you cannot help the poor in the least by knowing about these things and the widespread knowledge of them does not tend at all to do away with poverty what tends to do away with poverty is
Speaker A
not getting the picture of poverty into your mind but getting pictures of wealth into the minds of the poor you're not deserting the poor in their misery when you refuse to allow your mind to be filled with pictures of that misery
Speaker A
poverty can be done away with not by increasing the numbers of wealth to do people who think about poverty but by increasing the number of poor people whose Purpose with faith to get rich the poor do not need charity they need
Speaker A
inspiration charity only sends them loaf of bread to keep them alive in their wretchedness or gives them an entertainment to make them forget for an hour or two but inspiration will cause them to rise out of their misery if you
Speaker A
want to help the poor demonstrate to them that they can become rich prove it by getting rich yourself the only way which poverty will ever be banished from this world is by getting a large and constantly increasing number of people
Speaker A
to practice the teaching of this book people must be taught to become rich by creation not by competition every man and woman who becomes rich by competition throws down behind them the latter by which they rise and keeps
Speaker A
others down but every man and woman who gets Rich by creation opens a way for thousands of them to follow them Inspire them to do so you are not showing Hardness of Heart or an unfeeling disposition when you refuse
Speaker A
to pity poverty see poverty read about poverty or think and talk about it or to listen to those who do talk about it use your willpower to keep your mind off the subject of poverty and keep it fixed
Speaker A
with faith and purpose on the vision of what you want chapter 10 further use of the will not retain a true and Clear Vision of wealth if you are constantly tuning your attention to opposing pictures whether they be internal or imaginary do not
Speaker A
tell if your past Troubles of financial nature if you have had them do not think of them at all do no tell of the poverty of your parents or the hardships of your early life to do any of these things is
Speaker A
to mentally class herself with the poor for the time being and it will certainly check the movement of things in your direction Let the dead bury their dead as Jesus said put poverty in all things that pertain to Poverty completely behind you
Speaker A
you have accepted a certain theory of the universe as being correct and are resting all your hopes of Happiness on it being correct and what you can gain by giving heed to conflicting theories do not read religious books which tell
Speaker A
you that the world is soon coming to an end and do not read the writing of muckrakers and pessimistic philosophers who tell you that it is going to the devil the world is not going to the devil it
Speaker A
is going to God it is a wonderful becoming true there may be a good many things in existing conditions which are disagreeable but what is the use of studying them when they are certainly passing away and when the study of them
Speaker A
only tends to check their passing and keep them with us why give time and attention to things which are being removed by evolutionary growth when you can hasten their removal only by promoting The evolutionary growth as far as your part of it goes no
Speaker A
matter how horrible and seeming may be the conditions in certain countries sections or places you waste your time and destroy your own chances by considering them you should interest yourself in the world's becoming rich think of the riches the world is coming
Speaker A
into instead of the poverty it is growing out of and bear the mind that the only way which you can assist the world in growing rich is by growing Rich yourself through the creative method not the competitive one give your attention
Speaker A
holy to riches ignore poverty whatever you think or speak of those who are poor think and speak of them as those who are becoming rich those who are to be congratulated rather than being pitied for then they and others would catch the
Speaker A
inspiration and begin to search for the way out because I say that you are to give your whole time and mind and thought to riches it does not follow that you are to be sorted or mean to become really rich is the noblest aim
Speaker A
you can have in life for it includes everything else on the competitive plane the struggle to get rich it's a goddess Scramble for power over other men but when we come into the creative mind all this is changed all that is possible in
Speaker A
the way of greatness and soul unfoldment of service and lofty Endeavor comes by way of getting rich all is made possible by the use of things if you lock for physical health you will find that attainment of it is
Speaker A
conditional on your getting rich only those who are emancipated from Financial worry and who have the means to live a Carefree existence and follow hygienic practices can have and retain Health moral and spiritual greatness is Possible only to those who are above the
Speaker A
competitive battle for existence and only those who are becoming rich on the plane of creative thought are free from the degrading influences of competition if your heart is set on domestic happiness remember that love flourishes best when there is refinement a high
Speaker A
level of thought and freedom from corrupting influences and these are to be found only where riches are attained by the exercise of creative thought without Strife or rivalry you can aim at nothing so great or Noble I repeat as to
Speaker A
become rich and you must fix your attention upon your men mental picture of riches to the exclusion of all that may tend to dim or obscure the vision you must learn to see the underlying truth in all things you must see beneath
Speaker A
all seemingly wrong conditions the great one life ever moving forward towards Fuller expression and more complete happiness it is the truth that there is no such thing as poverty that there is only wealth some people remain in poverty because
Speaker A
they are ignorant of the fact that there is wealth for them and these can best be taught by showing them the way to affluence in your own person in practice others are poor because while they feel that there is a way out there are two
Speaker A
intellectually idolin to put forth the mental effort necessary to find that way and by travel it and for these the very best thing you can do to arouse their Desire by showing them the happiness that comes from being rightly rich
Speaker A
others still are poor because while they have some notion of science they have become so swamped and lost in the Maze a metaphysical and occult theories that they do not know which road to take they try a mixture of many systems and fail
Speaker A
in all for these again the very best thing to do is to show the right way in your own person and practice an ounce of doing things is worth a pound of theorizing the very best thing you can do for the
Speaker A
whole world is to make the most of yourself you can serve God and man in no more effective way than by getting rich that is if you get rich by the creative method and not by the competitive one
Speaker A
another thing we assert that this book gives in detail the principles of the signs of getting rich and if that is true you do not need to read any other book upon the subject this may sound narrow and egotistical but consider
Speaker A
there is no more scientific method of computation in mathematics than by addition subtraction multiplication and division no other method is possible there can be but one shortest distance between two points there is only one way to think scientifically and that is to
Speaker A
think in the way that leads by the most direct and simple route to the goal no man has yet formulated a briefer or less complex system than the one set forth herein it has been stripped of all non-essentials when you commence on this
Speaker A
lay all others aside put them out of your mind all together I want you to read this book or listen to this book every day keep it with you committed to memory and do not think about other systems and theories if you
Speaker A
do you will begin to have doubts and to be uncertain and wavering in your thought then you will begin to make failures after you have made good and become rich you may study other systems as much as you please but until you're quite sure
Speaker A
that you have gained what you want do not read anything on this line but this book unless it be the authors mentioned in the preface which I will recite here again and put into the description below the authors
Speaker A
are Descartes Spinoza libnitz soften higher Hegel and Emerson and read only the most optimistic comments on the world's news those in harmony with your picture also postpone your investigations into the cult do not dabble in theosophy spiritualism or
Speaker A
Kindred studies it is very likely that the dead still live and or near but if they are let them alone mind your business wherever the spirit of the Dead may be they have their own work to do and their own problems to solve and we
Speaker A
have no right to interfere with them we cannot help them and it is very doubtful whether they can help us and whether we have any right to trespass upon their time if they can let the dead and the
Speaker A
Hereafter alone and solve your own problems get rich if you begin to mix with the occult you will start mental cross currents which will surely bring your hopes to shipwreck now this in the preceding chapters has brought us to the
Speaker A
following statements of basic facts number one there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which in its original state permeates penetrates and fills inner spaces of the universe a thought in this substance produces a
Speaker A
thing that is imaged by the thought number two men and women can form things in his or her thought and by impressing his or her thought upon a form of substance can cause a thing he or she thinks about to be created in order to
Speaker A
do this men and women must pass from the competitive to the creative mind they must form a clear mental picture of the things they want and hold this picture in his or her thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what he or she wants and
Speaker A
the unwavering faith that he or she does get what he or she wants closing he or she's mind against all that may tend to shake his or her purpose dim his or her vision or quench his or her faith and in
Speaker A
addition to all this we shall now see that he or she must live and act in a certain way chapter 11 acting in the certain way thought is the creative power or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act thinking in a
Speaker A
certain way will bring riches to you but you must not rely upon thought alone paying no attention to personal action that is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck the failure to connect thought with personal action we
Speaker A
have not yet reached the stage of development even supposing such stage to be possible in which men and women can correct directly from formless substance without Nature's process or the work of human hands man and woman must not only
Speaker A
think but their personal actions must supplement their thoughts by thought you can cause a gold in the hearts of the mountains to be impelled towards you but will not mine itself refine itself coin itself into double eagles and come rolling along the road
Speaker A
seeking its way into your pocket under the impelling power of the Supreme Spirit men and women's Affairs will be so ordered that someone will be led to mine the golds for you other persons business transactions will be so
Speaker A
directed that the gold will be brought towards you and if you must arraigned your own business Affairs that you may be able to receive it when it comes to you your thought makes all things animate and inanimate work to bring you
Speaker A
what you want but your personal activity must be such that you can rightly receive what you want when it reaches you you're not to take it as Charity nor to steal it you must give every man and woman more in use value than he or she
Speaker A
gives you in cash value the scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want and holding fast to the purpose to get what you want and realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you
Speaker A
want do not try to project your thought in any mysterious or occult way with the idea of having it go and do things for you that is wasted effort and will weaken your power to think with sanity the action of thought in getting rich is
Speaker A
fully explained in the preceding chapters your faith and purpose positively impress your Visions upon formless substance which has the same desire for moral life that you have and this Vision received from you sets all the creative forces at work in and
Speaker A
through their regular channels of action but directed towards you it is not your part to guide or supervise the creative process all you have to do with that is to retain your vision stick to your purpose and maintain your faith and gratitude but
Speaker A
you must act in a certain way so that you can appropriate what is yours when it comes to you so that you can meet the things you have in your picture and put them in their proper place as they
Speaker A
arrive you can really see the truth of this when things reach you they will be in the hands of other men and women who will ask an equivalent for them and you can only get what is yours by
Speaker A
giving the other men and women what is theirs your pocketbook is not going to be transformed into a fortunate purse which shall be always full of money without effort on your part this is the crucial point in the science
Speaker A
of getting rich right here where thought and personal action must be combined there are very many people who consciously or unconsciously set the creative forces in action by the strength and Persistence of their desires but who remain poor because they
Speaker A
do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes by thought the thing you want is brought to you by action you receive it whatever your action is to be it is evident that you must act now
Speaker A
you cannot act in the past it is essential to the clearness of your mental Vision that you dismiss the past from your mind you cannot act in the future for the future is not here yet and you cannot tell how you will want to
Speaker A
act in any future contingency until that contingency has arrived because you're not in the right business or the right environment now do not think that you must postpone action until you get into the right business or environment and do not spend time in the
Speaker A
present taking thought as to the best course and possible future emergencies have faith in your ability to meet any emergency when it arrives if you act in the present with your mind on the future your present action will be with a
Speaker A
divided mind and will not be effective put your whole mind into present action do not give your creative impulse to original substance and then sit down and wait for results if you do you will never get them act now there is never
Speaker A
any time but now and there never will be any time but now if you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want you must begin now in your action whatever it is must most likely
Speaker A
be in your present business or employment and must be upon the persons and things in your present environment you you cannot act where you are not you cannot act where you've been and you cannot act where you're going to be you
Speaker A
can only act where you are do not bother as to whether yesterday's work was well done or ill done do today's work well do not try to do tomorrow's work now there would be plenty of time to do that when
Speaker A
you get to it do not try by Cult or mystical means to act on people or things that are out of your reach do not wait for a change of environment before you act get a change of environment by
Speaker A
action you can so act upon the environment in which you are now as to cause yourself to be transferred to a better environment hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment but act upon your
Speaker A
present environment with all your heart and with all your strength and with all your mind do not spend any time in daydreaming or Castle Building hold to the One Vision of what you want and act now do not cast
Speaker A
about seeking some new thing to do or some strange unusual or remarkable action to perform as a first step towards getting rich it is probable that your actions at least for some time to come will be those you have been
Speaker A
performing for some time past but you are to begin now to perform these actions in a certain way which will surely make you rich if you are engaged in some business and feel that it is not the right one for
Speaker A
you do not wait until you get into the right business before you begin to act do not feel discouraged or sit down or laminate because you are misplaced no man was ever so misplaced but that he could not find the right place and no
Speaker A
man ever became so involved in the wrong business that he could get into the right business with a vision of yourself in the right business with the purpose to get into it and the faith that you will get into it
Speaker A
and are getting into it but act in your present business use your present business as a means of getting a better one and use your present environment as the means of getting into a better one your visions of the right business if
Speaker A
held with faith and purpose will cause the Supreme to move the right business toward you and your action if performed in a certain way will cause you to move toward the business if you are an employee or wage earner
Speaker A
and feel that you must change places in order to get what you want do not project your thought into space and rely upon it to get you another job it will probably fail to do so hold the vision
Speaker A
of yourself in the job you want while you act with faith and purpose on the job you have and you will certainly get the job you want your vision and faith will set the creative force in motion to
Speaker A
bring it toward you and your action will cause the forces in your own environment to move you toward the place you want in closing this chapter we will add another statement to our syllabus number one there is a thinking stop from
Speaker A
which all things are made in which in its original state permeates penetrates and fills inner spaces of the universe a thought in this substance produces a thing that is imaged by the thought number two men and women can form things
Speaker A
in his or her thought and by impressing his or her thought upon formless substance can cause a thing he or she thinks about to be created in order to do this man and woman must pass from the competitive to the creative mind he or
Speaker A
she must form a clear mental purpose of the things they want and hold this picture in his or her thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what they want and the unwavering faith that he or she does get what they want
Speaker A
closing their mind to all that may tend to shake his or her purpose dim his or her vision or quench his or her faith that he or she may receive what he or she wants when it comes man and woman
Speaker A
must act now upon the people and the things in his or her present environment chapter 12.
Speaker A
efficient action you must use your thought as directed in previous chapters and begin to do what you can do where you are and you must do all that you can do where you are you can only Advance by being larger
Speaker A
than your present place and no man is larger than his present Place who leaves undone any of the work pertaining to that place the world is Advanced only by those who more than fill their present places If no man quite fills his present place
Speaker A
you can see that there must be an ongoing backward in everything those who do not quite fill their present places are dead weight upon Society government Commerce and Industry they must be carried Along by others at Great expense
Speaker A
the progress of the world is stupid only by those who do not fill the places they are holding they belong to a former age in a lower stage of plane of life and their tendency is towards degeneration no Society could Advance if every man
Speaker A
was smaller than his place social evolution is Guided by the law of physical and mental evolution in the animal world evolution is caused by excess of life when an organism has more life that can be expressed in the
Speaker A
functions of its own plane it develops the organs of a higher plane in a new species it originated there never would have been new species had there not been organisms which more than filled their places the law is exactly the same for you
Speaker A
you're getting rich depends upon you're applying this principle to your own Affairs every day is either a successful day or a day of failure it is the successful days which get you what you want if every day is a failure you can
Speaker A
never get rich while if every day is a success you cannot fail to get rich if there is something that may be done today and you do not do it you have failed in so far that the thing is
Speaker A
concerned and the consequences may be more disastrous than you imagine you cannot foresee the results of even the most trivial act you do not know the workings of all the forces that have been set moving in your behalf much may
Speaker A
be depending on you're doing some simple act it may be the very thing which is to open the door of opportunity to vary great possibilities you can never know all the combinations with Supreme intelligence is making for you in the
Speaker A
world of things and of things and of human Affairs your neglect or failure to do some small thing may cause a long delay in getting what you want do every day all that can be done that day there is however a limitation or
Speaker A
qualification of the above that you must take into account you are not to overwork yourself nor Rush blindly into your business in the efforts to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible time you're not trying to do
Speaker A
tomorrow's work today nor to do a week's work in a day it is really not the number of things you do but the efficiency of each separate action that counts every action is in itself either a success or a failure every Act is in
Speaker A
itself either effective or ineffective every ineffective Act is a failure and if you spend your life in doing inefficient acts your whole life will be a failure the more things you do the worse for you if all your Acts or
Speaker A
inefficient ones on the other hand every efficient Act is a success in itself and if every Act of your life is an efficient one your whole life must be a success the cause of failure in doing too many
Speaker A
things in an inefficient Manner and not doing enough things in an efficient manner you'll see that it is a self-evident proposition that if you do not do any inefficient Acts and if you do not do a significant number of efficient acts you
Speaker A
will become rich if now it is possible for you to make each Act a efficient one you see again that the getting of riches is reduced to an exact science like mathematics the matter turns then on the questions whether you can make each
Speaker A
separate act a success in itself and this you can certainly do you can make each Act a success because all power is working with you and all power cannot fail Power is at your service and to make each Act efficient
Speaker A
you have only to put Power into it every action is either strong or weak and when everyone is strong you're acting in a certain way which will make you rich every action can be made strong and efficient by holding your vision while
Speaker A
you are doing it and putting the whole power of your faith and purpose into it it is this point that the people fail who separate mental power from personal action they use the power of Mind in one place and at one time and they act in
Speaker A
another Pace at another time so their acts are not successful in themselves and too many of them are insufficient but if all power goes into Every Act no matter how commonplace Every Act will be a success in itself
Speaker A
and as in the nature of things every success opens the way to other successes your progress towards what you want and the progress of what you want towards you will become increasingly rapid remember that successful action is cumulative in its results since the
Speaker A
desire for moral life is inherent in all things when a man begins to move towards larger life more things attach themselves to him or her in the influence of his or her desire is multiplied do every day all that you can do that
Speaker A
day and do each Act in an efficient manner in saying that you must hold your vision while you're doing each act however trivial or commonplace I do not mean to say that it is necessary at all times to see the vision
Speaker A
distinctly to its smallest details it should be in the work of your leisure hours to use your imagination on the details of your vision and to contemplate them until they are firmly fixed upon memory if you wish Speedy
Speaker A
results spend practically all your spare time in this practice by continuous contemplation you will get the picture what you want even to the smallest detail so firmly fix upon your mind until completely transferred to the mind of form a substance that in your
Speaker A
working hours you need only to mentally refer to the picture to stimulate your faith and purpose and cause your best efforts to be put forth contemplate your picture in your leisure hours until your Consciousness is so full of it that you
Speaker A
can grasp it instantly you will become so enthused with its bright promises that the mirror thought of it will call forth the strongest energies of your whole being let us again repeat our syllabus and by slightly changing the closing statements
Speaker A
bring it to the point which we have now reached number one there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which in its original state permeates penetrates and fills inner spaces of the universe a thought in this substance produces a
Speaker A
thing that is imaged by the thought number two man and woman can form things in his or her thought and by impressing his or her thought upon formless substance can cause a thing he or she thinks about to
Speaker A
be created in order to do this men and women must pass with a competitive to the creative mind he or she must form a clear mental picture of the things he or she wants and do with faith and purpose
Speaker A
and all that can be done each day doing each separate thing in an efficient manner chapter 13 getting into the right business without good musical facility no one can succeed as a teacher of music with a well-developed mechanical facilities no
Speaker A
one can achieve great success in any of the mechanical trades without tact in the commercial facilities no one can succeed in Mercantile Pursuits but to possess in a well-developed state the facilities required in your particular vocation does not ensure getting rich
Speaker A
there are musicians who have remarkable talent and who yet remain poor there are blacksmiths carpenters and so on who have excellent mechanical ability but do not get rich and there are Merchants with good facilities for dealing with men who nevertheless fail the different
Speaker A
facilities are tools it is essential to have good tools but is also essential that the tools should be used in the right way one man can take a sharp saw a square a good plane and so on and build
Speaker A
a handsome article of furniture another man can take the same tool and set to work to duplicate the article but his production will be a botch he does not know how to use good Tools in a successful way the various facilities of
Speaker A
your mind are the tools with which you must do the work which is to make you rich it will be easier for you to succeed if you get into a business for which you are well equipped with mental
Speaker A
tools generally speaking you will do best in that business which will use your strongest facilities one for which you are naturally best fitted but there are limitations to this statement also no man should regard his vocation as being irrevocably fixed by the
Speaker A
Tendencies with which he or she was born you can get rich in any business for if you have not the right talent for you can develop that Talent it merely means that you will have to make your own
Speaker A
tools as you go along instead of confining yourself to the use of those with which you were born with it will be easier for you to succeed in a vocation for which you already have the talents in a well-developed state but you can
Speaker A
succeed in any vocation for you can develop any rudimentary talent and there is no Talent of which you have not at least the rudiment you will get rich most easily in point of effort if you do that for which you
Speaker A
are best fitted but you will get rich most satisfactorily if you do that with which you want to do doing what you want to do is life there is no real satisfaction in living if we are compelled to be forever doing something
Speaker A
which we do not like to do and can never do what we want to do and it is certain that you can do what you want to do the desire to do it is proof that you have within you the power which can do it
Speaker A
desire is manifestation of power the desire to play music is the power which can play music seeking expression and development the desire to invent Mechanical Devices is the mechanical Talent seeking expression and development when there is no power
Speaker A
either developed or undeveloped to do a thing there is never any desire to do that thing and where there is a strong desire to do a thing it is certain proof that the power to do it is strong and
Speaker A
only requires to be developed and applied in the right way all things else being equal it is best to select the business for which you have the best developed talent but if you have a strong desire to engage in
Speaker A
any particular line of work you should select that work as the ultimate end in which you aim you can do what you want to do and it is your right and privilege to follow the business or avocation with
Speaker A
be the most congenial and pleasant to you you're not obliged to do what you do not like to do and should not do it except as a means to bring you to the doing of the thing you want to do
Speaker A
if there are past mistakes whose consequences have placed you in an undesirable business or environment you may be obliged for some time to do what you do not like to do but you can make the doing of it Pleasant by knowing that
Speaker A
it is making it possible for you to come to the doing of what you want to do if you feel that you're not in the right vocation do not act too hastily in trying to get into another one the best way generally
Speaker A
to change business or environment is by growth do not be afraid to make a sudden or radical change if the opportunity is presented and you feel after careful consideration that it is the right opportunity but never take sudden or
Speaker A
radical action when you are in doubt as to the wisdom of doing so there is never any hurry on the creative plane and there is no lack of opportunity but out of the competitive mind you will understand that you will never need to
Speaker A
act hastily no one else is going to beat you to the thing that you want to do there is enough for everyone and all if one space is taken another and better one will be open for you a little
Speaker A
farther on there is plenty of time when you are in doubt wait fall back on the contemplation of your vision and increase your faith and purpose and by all means in times of doubt and indecision cultivate gratitude a day or two spent in contemplating the
Speaker A
vision of what you want in the earnest Thanksgiving that you are getting it will bring your mind into such close relationship with the Supreme that you will make no mistake when you do act there is a mind which knows all there is
Speaker A
to know and you can come into close Unity with this Mind by faith and the purpose to advance in life if you have deep gratitude mistakes come from acting hastily or from acting in fear or doubt or in
Speaker A
forgetfulness of the right motive which is more life to all and less to none as you go on in a certain way opportunities will come to you in increasing numbers and you will need to be very steady in
Speaker A
your faith and purpose and to keep in close touch with all Mind by reverent gratitude do all that you can do in a perfect manner every day but do it without haste worry or fear go as fast as you can but never hurry remember that
Speaker A
in the moment you begin to hurry you cease to be the Creator and become the competitor you drop back upon the old plane again whenever you find yourself hurrying call a halt fix your attention on the mental image of the thing you want and begin to
Speaker A
give thanks that you are getting it the exercise of gratitude will never fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose chapter 14 the impression of increase whether you change your vocation or not your actions for the present must be
Speaker A
those pertaining to the business in which you are now engaged in you can get into the business you want by making constructive use of the business you are already established in by doing your daily work in a certain way and in so
Speaker A
far by your business consists in dealing with other men whether personally or by letter the key thought of all your efforts must be to convey to their minds the impression of increase increase is what all men and all women
Speaker A
are seeking it is the urge of the formless intelligence within them seeking Fuller expression the desire for increase is inherent in all nature it is the fundamental impulse of the universe all human activities are based on the desire for increase
Speaker A
people are seeking more food more clothes better shelter more luxury more Beauty more knowledge more pleasure increase in something more life every living thing is under this necessity for continuous advancement where increase of Life ceases dissolution and death set in at once
Speaker A
man and woman instinctively know this and hence he or she is forever seeking more this law a Perpetual increase is set forth by Jesus in the parable of the talents only those who gain more retain any from him or her who hath not shall
Speaker A
be taken away even that which he or she hath the normal desire for increased wealth is not an evil or rehensible thing it is simply the desire for a more Abundant Life it is aspiration and because it is the deepest Instinct of
Speaker A
their nature all men and women are attracted to him who can give them more of the means of Life In following a certain way as described in the foregoing Pages you're getting continuous increase for yourself and you're giving it to all with whom you
Speaker A
deal with you are a creative center from which increase is given off to all be sure of this and convey Assurance of the facts to every man woman and child with whom you come in contact with no matter how small the transaction even it
Speaker A
be only the selling of a stick of candy to a little child put into the thought of increase and make sure that the customer is impressed with the thought convey the impression of advancement with everything you do so that all
Speaker A
people shall receive the impression that you are an advancing woman or man and that you advance all who deal with you even to the people whom you meet in a social way without any thought of business and whom you do not try to sell
Speaker A
anything give the thought of increase you can convey this impression by holding the unshakable faith that you yourself are in the way of increase and by letting this Faith Inspire fill and permeate every action you do do everything that you do in The Firm
Speaker A
conviction that you are an advancing personality and that you are giving advancement to everybody you encounter and meet feel that you're getting rich and that in doing so you're making others rich and conferring benefits on all do not
Speaker A
boast or brag of your success or talk about it unnecessarily true faith is never boostful wherever you find a boastful person you find one who is secretly doubtful and Afraid simply feel the faith and let it work out in every transaction you do let
Speaker A
every acting tone and look Express The Quiet assurance that you are getting rich that you are already rich words will not be necessary to communicate this feeling to others they will feel the sense of increase when in your
Speaker A
presence and will be attracted to you again you must to impress others that they will feel that in associating with you they will get increase for themselves see that you give them a use value greater than the cash value you
Speaker A
are taking from them take an honest pride in doing this and let everybody know it and you will have no lack of customers people will go where they are given increase and a supreme which desires increase in all
Speaker A
and which knows all will move towards you men and women who have never heard of you your business will increase rapidly and you will be at surprise at the unexpected benefits which will come to you you will be able from day to day
Speaker A
to make larger combinations secure greater advantages and go on into more congenial vocations if you desire to do so but by doing things all this you must never lose sight of your vision of what you want or your faith and
Speaker A
purpose to get what you want let me here give you another word of caution in regards to motives Beware of the insinuous temptation to seek for power over other men nothing is so pleasant to the unaffirmed or particularly developed mind as the
Speaker A
exercise of power or domination over others the desire to rule for selfish gratification has been the curse of the world for countless ages Kings and Lords have drenched the Earth with blood in their battles to extend their dominations this is not to seek more
Speaker A
life for all but to get more power for themselves today the main motive in the business and Industrial world is the same men marshaled or armies of dollars and lay waste the lives and hearts of millions in the same mad Scramble for power over
Speaker A
others commercial Kings like political kings are inspired by the lust for power Jesus saw in this desire for Mastery the moving impulse of that evil world he sought to overthrow read the 23rd chapter of Matthew in the Bible and see how he pictures the lust
Speaker A
of the Pharisees to be called Master to sit in the high place to domineer over others and to lay burden on the backs of the less fortunate and note how he Compares this lust for Domination with the brotherly seeking for the common
Speaker A
good which he calls his disciples look out for the temptation to seek for authority to become a master to be considered as one who is above the common herd to impress others by lavish display and so on the mind that seeks for Mastery over
Speaker A
others is the competitive mind and the competitive mind is not the creative one in order to master your environment and your destiny it is not as all necessary that you should rule over your fellow men and indeed when you fall into the
Speaker A
world struggle for the high places you begin to be conquered by Fate in the environment and you're getting rich becomes a matter of chance and speculation Beware of the competitive mind no better statement of the principle of creative reaction can be
Speaker A
formulated than the favorite Declaration of the late Golden Rule Jones D Toledo what I want for myself I want for everybody chapter 15 the advancing man what I've said in the last chapter applies as well to the professional man
Speaker A
and the wage earner as to the man who is engaged in Mercantile business no matter whether you are a physician a teacher or a clergyman if you can give increase of life to others and make them sensible of
Speaker A
the fact they will be attracted to you and you will get rich The Physician who holds the vision of himself as a great and successful healer and who works towards the complete realization of that Vision with faith and purpose as
Speaker A
described in former chapters will come into such close touch with the source of life that he or she will be phenomenally successful patients will come to him or her in throngs no one has a greater opportunity to carry into effect the teachings of
Speaker A
this book than the practitioner of medicine it does not matter to which of the various schools he or she may belong to for the principle of healing is common to all of them and may be reached by all alike the advancing man or woman
Speaker A
in medicine who holds a clear mental image of him or herself as successful and who obeys the law of Faith purpose and gratitude will cure every curable case he or she undertakes no matter what remedies he or she may use
Speaker A
in the field of religion the world cries out for the clergy man who can teach his hearseers the true signs of Abundant Life he who Masters the details of the signs of getting rich together with the Allied signs of being well of being
Speaker A
great and of winning love and who teaches these details from the pulpit will never lack for a congression this is the gospel that the world needs it will give increase of life and men will hear it gladly and will give liberal
Speaker A
support to the man and woman who brings it to them what is now needed is a demonstration of the signs of life from the pulpit we want preachers who can not only tell us how but who and their own persons will
Speaker A
show us how we need the preacher who will himself be rich healthy great and beloved to teach us how to attain to these things and whether he or she comes he or she will find a numerous and loyal
Speaker A
following the same is true of the teacher who can Inspire the children with the faith and purpose of the advancing life he or she will never be out of a job and any teacher who has this faith and purpose
Speaker A
can give to his or her pupils he or she cannot help giving it to them if it is part of his or her own life in practice what is true of the teacher preacher and physician is true of the lawyer dentists
Speaker A
real estate man or woman insurance agent of everybody the combined mental and personal action I've described is infallible it cannot fail every man and woman who follows these instructions steadily perseveringly and to the letter will get rich the law of the increase of Life as
Speaker A
a mathematical certain in its operation as the law of gravitation getting rich is an exact science the wage earner will find this is true of his or her case as of any other mentioned do not feel that you have no chance to get rich because
Speaker A
you're working or there is no visible opportunity for advancement where wages are small and the cost of living High form your clear mental vision of what you want and begin to act with faith and purpose do all the work you can do every
Speaker A
day and do each piece of work in a perfectly successful manner put the power of success and the purpose to get rich into everything that you do but do not do this merely with the idea of curving favor with your employer in
Speaker A
the hope that he or she or those above you will see your good work to advance you it is not likely that they will do so the man who is merely a good Workman or a woman who is merely a good work
Speaker A
woman filing their place to be the very best of their ability and satisfied with that is valuable to his or her employer it is not to the employer's interest to promote him or her they are worth more than where they are
Speaker A
to secure advancement something more is necessary than to be too large for your place the man and woman who is certain to advance is the one who is too big for his or her place and who has a clear
Speaker A
concept of what they want to be who knows that they can become what they want to be and who is determined to be what they want to be do not try to more than fill your present place with the view of pleasing
Speaker A
your employer do it with the idea of advancing yourself hold the faith and purpose of increase during work hours after work hours and before work hours hold it in such a way that every person who comes in contact with you whether
Speaker A
four men fellow workmen or social acquaintance will feel the power of purpose radiating from you so that everyone will get this sense of advancement and increase from you men and women will be attracted to you and if there is no possibility for
Speaker A
advancement in your present job you will very soon see an opportunity to take another job there is a power which never fails to present opportunity to the advancing man or woman who is moving in obedience to law God cannot help helping you if you act
Speaker A
in a certain way God must do so in order to help themselves there is nothing in your circumstances or in the industrial situation that can keep you down if you cannot get rich working from a steel trust you can get rich on a 10-acre farm
Speaker A
and if you begin to move in a certain way you will certainly escape from the clutches of the steel trust and get on to the farm or wherever else you wish to be if a few thousand of its own employees
Speaker A
would enter upon a certain way the still trust would soon be in a bad flight it would have to give its working men and women more opportunity or go out of business nobody has to work for a trust
Speaker A
the trust can keep men and women in so-called hopeless conditions only so long as there are men and women who are too ignorant to know of the signs of getting rich or too intellectually slothful or stubborn to practice it
Speaker A
being this way of thinking and acting and your faith and purpose will make you quick to see any opportunity to better your condition such opportunities was steadily come for the Supreme working and all and working for you will bring them before you do
Speaker A
not wait for an opportunity to be all that you want to be when an opportunity to be more than where you are now is presented and you feel impelled towards it take it it will be the first step
Speaker A
towards a greater opportunity there is no such thing possible in the universe as a lack of opportunities for the man and woman who is living the advancing life it is inherent in the constitution of the cosmos that all things shall be
Speaker A
for him and her and work together for his or her good they must certainly get rich if they act and think in these certain ways so let wage earning men and women study this book with great care and enter with confidence upon the
Speaker A
course of action it prescribes it will not fail chapter 16 some cautions and concluding observations many people will scoff at the idea that there is an exact science of getting rich holding the impression that the supply of wealth is limited they will insist
Speaker A
that social and governmental institutions must be changed before even any considerable amount of people can acquire a competence but this is not true it is true that existing governments keep the masses in poverty but this is because the masses do not
Speaker A
think and act in a certain way if the masses begin to move forward as suggested in this book neither governments nor Industrial Systems can check them all systems must be modified to accommodate the forward movement if the people have the advancing mind have
Speaker A
the faith that they can become rich and move forward with the fixed purpose to become rich nothing can possibly keep them in poverty individuals may enter upon this certain way at any time and under any government and make themselves
Speaker A
rich and when any considerable number of individuals do so under any government they will cause a system to be so modified as to open the way for others the more men and women who get rich on the competitive plane the worse for
Speaker A
others the more who get rich on the creative plane the better for others the economic salvation of the masses can only be accomplished by getting a large number of people who practice the scientific method to set down in this
Speaker A
book and become rich these will show others the way Inspire them with a desire for real life with the faith that it can be attained and with the purpose to attain it for the present however it is enough to know
Speaker A
that neither the government under which you live nor the capitalistic or competitive system of Industry can keep you from getting rich when you enter upon the creative plane of thought you will rise above all these things and become a citizen of another kingdom
Speaker A
but remember that your thought must be held upon the creative plane never the competitive plane you are never for an instant to be betrayed into regarding the supply as limited or into acting on the moral level of competition
Speaker A
whenever you do fall into old ways of thought correct yourself instantly for when you are in the competitive mind you have lost a cooperation of the mind of the whole do not spend any time in planning as to
Speaker A
how you will meet possible emergencies in the future except as the necessary policies may affect your actions today you are concerned with doing today's work in a perfectly successful manner now with the emergencies which may arise tomorrow you
Speaker A
can attend to them as they come or if they come do not concern yourself with questions as to how you shall surmount obstacles which may Loom upon your business Horizon unless you can see plainly in your view that your course
Speaker A
must be altered today in order to avoid them no matter how tremendous an obstruction may appear at a distance you will find that if you go on in a certain way it will disappear as you approach it or that away over though or around it
Speaker A
will appear no possible combination of circumstances can defeat a man or woman who is proceeding to get rich along strictly scientific Lines no man or woman who obeys the law can fail to get rich any more than one who can multiply
Speaker A
two by two and fail to get four give no anxious thought to possible disasters obstacles panics or unfavorable combinations of circumstances it is time enough to meet such things when they present themselves before you in the immediate present and
Speaker A
you will find that every difficulty carries with it the wherewithal for its overcoming guard your speech never speak of yourself your Affairs or of anything else in a discouraged or discouraging way never admit the possibility of failure or speak in a way that in Fierce
Speaker A
failure has a possibility never speak of the times as being hard or a business conditions as being doubtful times may be hard and business doubtful for those who are not on the competitive plane but they can never be so for you you can
Speaker A
create what you want and you are above fear when others are having hard times in poor business you will find your greatest opportunities train yourself to think of and to look upon the world as something which is becoming which is growing and is regards
Speaker A
seeming evil as being only by which is undeveloped always speak in terms of advancement and do otherwise is to deny your faith and to deny your faith is to lose it never allow yourself to feel disappointed you may expect to have a
Speaker A
certain thing at a certain time and not get it at that time and this will appear to you like a failure but if you hold on to your faith you will find that the failure is only apparent go on in a certain way and if you do not
Speaker A
receive that thing you will receive something so much better that you will see that the seeming failure was really a great success a student of his science has set his mind on making a certain business combination which seems to him
Speaker A
at the time to be very desirable he worked for some weeks to bring about it when the crucial time came the thing failed in a perfectly inexpectable way it was as if some unseen influence has been working secretly against him he was
Speaker A
not disappointed on the contrary he thanked God that his desire has been overruled and went steadily on with a grateful mind in a few weeks an opportunity so much better came his way that he would not have made the first
Speaker A
deal on any account and he saw that a mind which knew more than he knew has prevented him from losing the greater good by entangling himself with the Lesser that is the way every seeming failure will work out for
Speaker A
you if you keep your faith whole to your purpose have gratitude and do every day all that can be done that day doing each separate act in a successful manner when you make a failure it is because you
Speaker A
have not asked for enough keep on on a larger thing than you are seeking will certainly come to you remember this you will not fail because you lack the necessary talent to do what you wish to do if you go on as I have directed you
Speaker A
will develop all the talent that is necessary to the doing of your work it is not within the scope of this book to deal with the signs of cultivating talent but it is certain and simple as a process of getting rich however do not
Speaker A
hesitate or waver for fear that when you come to any certain place you will fail for lack of ability keep right on and when you come to that place the ability will be furnished to you the same source

Speaker A
essentials summed up in the following chapter chapter 17 summary of the science of getting rich there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made in which in its original state permeates penetrates and fills inner spaces of the universe a thought
Speaker A
in this substance produces a thing that is imaged by the thought men and women can form things in his or her thought and by impressing his or her thought upon formless substance can cause a thing he or she thinks about to
Speaker A
be created in order to do this men and women must pass for the competitive to the creative mind otherwise he or she cannot be in harmony with the formless intelligence which is always creative and never competitive in spirit man and woman may
Speaker A
come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings that bestows upon them gratitude unifies the mind of men and women with the intelligence of substance so that men and women's thoughts are received by the
Speaker A
formless men and women can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting themselves with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude men and women must form a clear indefinite mental image of the things he
Speaker A
or she wishes to have to do or to become and they must hold this mental image in their thoughts while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all their desires are granted to them the woman or man who wishes to get rich
Speaker A
must spend their Leisure Hours in contemplating their Vision in the earnest Thanksgiving that is reality and being given to them too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image coupled with the unwavering faith
Speaker A
and devout gratitude this is the process by which the impression is given to the formless and the creative forces set in motion the Creative Energy Works through the established channels of natural growth and of the industrial and social order
Speaker A

Speaker A
commerce in order to receive their own when it shall come to them men and women must be active and this activity can only consist in more than filling their present place they must keep in mind that the purpose
Speaker A

Speaker A

Speaker A
with the men and women who practice their foregoing instructions will certainly get rich and the riches they receive will be in the exact proportion to the definiteness of their Vision the fixity of their purpose the steadiness of their
Speaker A
faith and the depth of their gratitude the end so I do hope that you enjoyed this audiobook this was I believe the second time that I tried recording this I'm pretty new to YouTube and I wanted to give better quality so I'm hoping this
Speaker A
time around it's more enjoyable to listen to um this book has been a huge benefit to my life my partner Giles has shown me this book and we're on this journey together of octave I am and it's been
Speaker A
such a upheaving I think that's the right word okay I looked it up up heaving heave or lift up yeah this book has a hundred percent have done that I started reading it I would say about two weeks ago and
Speaker A
I've been Super Hyper focused on building my art account working on social media building more of a presence gaining a following I'm wanting to work on doing art therapy for people and sharing this knowledge to help other people get these benefits in which I've
Speaker A
been receiving and I actually saved a few quotes that I would like to share with y'all from this book the desire to play music is the power which can play music seeking expression and development the desire to invent
Speaker A
Mechanical Devices is that the mechanical Talent seeking expression and development where there is no power either developed or undevelop to do a thing there is never any desire to do that thing and when there is a strong desire to do that thing it is certain
Speaker A
proof that the power to do so it is strong and only requires to be developed and applied in the right way I deeply resonated with the paragraph where it talks about the boy who wanted to play the piano
Speaker A
I've been putting off music on and off throughout the years and I would play the keys or I would play the strings and I could feel this urge to play music or to just play magically all the right
Speaker A
chords to make it sound good but I never got to that point I would have a lot of wavering thoughts of doubt and fear and I would like get into it and then a conundrum come up or an uphill hurdle
Speaker A
would come and I would allow these thoughts or opinions of others to stop me from doing this calling that God has been encouraging me to do for so long and recently I was thinking about getting back into music and I prayed and
Speaker A
I was really hoping to find an instrument I really didn't have that much money and I actually found something in the Facebook Marketplace and it was a man who was a religious man he believes in God and he gave me three
Speaker A
instruments for a little under three hundred dollars and it was a mandolin a guitar and a banjo and when he gave me these instruments I straight up bawled in the car and I praised God so deeply which for a really
Speaker A
long time that's been um wavering relationship too I grew up as a Jehovah Witness and I got out of that at around 10 years old and I've been on this journey of trying to build a different relationship with God and
Speaker A
what feels more vibrationally attuned to me and when I felt this voice after like a couple weeks of me consistently thinking about it and this was before I even read this book the science of getting rich and then I had
Speaker A
these instruments in my hands it was such an eye-opening experience to me and I've been playing the guitar ever since and I'm planning on playing other instruments when I get to that point and I'm just so grateful to have had that
Speaker A
experience and I really want to give people the opportunity while also learning this knowledge as well to experience something like this as well that anything that you desire you can have anything that is on your mind you can achieve and sometimes if it takes a
Speaker A
couple weeks or a day or years whatever it may be it's gonna come to you isn't that great all you have to do is just listen to your heart and your soul and your mental and your physical really just doing
Speaker A
self-care taking care of yourself and you will get what you want that is like the biggest gift I think anyone can give you is it's not solely based upon giving to others or having to self-sacrifice to others but because in this literature it
Speaker A
talks about God being in you if you tend to yourself you are tending to the highest form of gifts of knowledge of abundance it was it's just so beautiful um but yeah I hope you enjoyed the science of getting rich once again my
Speaker A
name is Lisa and I will see you in the next video bye
