I am greetings and welcome to Octaviam. My name is Lisa, and I will be your host today. Today, I will be reading The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles. I 00:21 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, 00:35 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 00:54 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 01:11 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 01:27 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 01:43 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 02:03 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 02:18 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. 02:37 Speaker A In writing this book, I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style so that all might 02:54 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 03:10 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 03:31 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 03:48 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 04:04 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 04:23 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 04:40 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 04:56 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 05:13 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 05:27 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 05:43 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 05:59 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 06:12 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 06:27 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 06:42 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 06:58 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 07:20 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 07:39 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 07:58 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 08:14 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 08:31 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 08:47 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 09:03 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 09:21 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 09:36 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 09:52 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 10:08 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 10:22 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 10:36 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 10:50 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 11:04 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 11:21 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 11:36 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 11:53 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 12:09 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 12:27 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 12:42 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 12:58 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 13:11 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 13:26 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 13:42 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 13:58 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 14:13 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 14:30 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 14:46 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 15:01 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 15:14 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 15:29 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 15:45 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 16:03 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 16:17 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 16:30 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 16:45 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 17:01 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 17:14 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 17:30 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 17:45 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 18:03 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 18:17 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 18:32 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 18:48 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 19:04 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 19:19 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 19:33 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 19:51 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 20:08 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 20:28 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 20:48 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 21:04 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 21:20 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 21:39 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 21:51 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 22:05 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 22:22 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 22:37 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 22:58 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 23:15 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 23:27 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 23:48 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 24:06 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 24:21 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 24:38 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 24:54 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 25:09 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 25:26 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 25:41 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 25:59 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 26:15 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 26:30 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 26:47 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 27:03 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 27:22 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 27:40 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 27:58 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 28:15 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 28:32 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 28:48 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 29:06 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 29:19 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 29:34 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 29:48 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 30:01 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 30:17 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 30:33 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 30:48 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 31:04 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 31:21 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 31:40 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 31:59 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 32:15 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 32:32 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 32:50 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 33:05 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 33:22 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 33:39 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 33:54 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 34:08 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 34:27 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 34:44 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 35:02 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 35:23 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 35:43 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 35:57 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 36:15 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 36:32 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 36:49 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 37:04 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 37:21 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 37:38 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 37:56 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 38:12 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 38:27 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 38:44 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 38:58 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 39:15 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 39:30 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 39:43 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 40:00 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 40:14 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 40:27 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 40:42 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 40:57 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 41:10 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 41:29 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 41:47 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 42:03 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 42:15 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 42:32 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 42:45 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 43:00 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 43:15 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 43:31 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 43:50 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 44:04 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 44:18 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 44:36 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 44:55 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 45:07 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 45:20 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 45:32 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 45:45 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 46:03 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 46:17 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 46:28 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 46:42 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 46:55 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 47:10 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 47:24 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 47:38 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 47:54 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 48:06 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 48:22 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 48:36 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 48:50 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 49:05 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 49:20 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 49:31 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 49:48 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 50:06 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 50:24 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 50:42 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 51:03 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 51:20 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 51:36 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 51:53 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 52:12 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 52:28 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 52:44 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 52:57 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 53:09 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 53:25 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 53:40 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 53:54 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 54:12 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 54:30 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 54:44 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 54:59 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 55:15 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 55:33 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 55:50 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 56:04 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 56:19 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 56:33 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 56:49 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 57:05 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 57:20 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 57:41 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 57:57 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 58:15 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 58:31 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 58:48 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 59:02 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 59:17 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 59:32 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 59:52 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 60:07 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 60:25 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 60:41 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 60:56 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 61:11 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 61:27 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 61:42 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 61:59 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 62:15 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 62:29 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 62:43 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 62:58 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 63:13 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 63:30 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 63:44 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 63:58 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 64:12 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 64:26 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 64:41 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 64:56 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 65:13 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 65:31 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 65:46 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 66:02 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 66:18 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 66:34 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 66:57 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 67:13 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 67:29 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 67:44 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 67:59 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 68:13 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 68:32 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 68:48 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 69:05 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 69:21 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 69:38 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 69:51 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 70:07 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 70:23 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 70:38 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 70:54 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 71:10 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 71:23 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 71:36 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 71:52 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 72:05 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 72:23 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 72:40 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 72:56 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 73:12 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 73:26 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 73:41 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 73:57 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 74:12 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 74:28 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 74:43 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 74:56 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 75:12 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 75:26 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 75:40 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 75:55 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 76:07 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 76:22 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 76:35 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 76:48 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 77:04 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 77:18 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 77:31 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 77:51 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 78:03 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 78:20 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 78:33 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 78:46 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 79:02 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 79:18 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 79:35 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 79:49 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 80:05 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 80:20 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 80:34 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 80:48 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 81:06 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 81:23 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 81:40 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 81:55 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 82:11 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 82:26 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 82:42 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 82:57 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 83:11 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 83:25 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 83:40 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 83:57 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 84:12 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 84:27 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 84:44 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 84:58 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 85:18 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 85:33 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 85:44 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 85:58 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 86:14 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 86:29 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 86:42 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 86:56 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 87:15 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 87:32 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 87:46 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 88:03 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 88:16 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 88:30 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 88:45 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 89:00 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 89:15 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 89:31 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 89:47 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 89:58 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 90:11 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 90:26 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 90:42 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 90:56 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 91:09 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 91:25 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 91:40 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 91:55 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 92:08 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 92:21 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 92:34 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 92:45 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 92:59 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 93:14 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 93:27 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 93:40 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 93:54 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 94:05 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 94:19 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 94:33 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 94:44 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 94:55 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 95:10 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 95:25 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 95:38 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 95:52 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 96:04 Speaker A must act now upon the people and the things in his or her present environment chapter 12. 96:13 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 96:29 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 96:44 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 96:58 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 97:15 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 97:28 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 97:44 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 97:58 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 98:09 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 98:25 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 98:38 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 98:54 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 99:09 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 99:23 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 99:39 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 99:53 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 100:08 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 100:23 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 100:38 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 100:53 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 101:08 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 101:23 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 101:40 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 101:56 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 102:09 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 102:22 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 102:41 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 102:54 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 103:10 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 103:27 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 103:40 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 103:52 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 104:12 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 104:28 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 104:45 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 105:01 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 105:16 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 105:27 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 105:44 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 105:55 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 106:09 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 106:25 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 106:39 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 106:51 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 107:09 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 107:21 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 107:34 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 107:46 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 107:58 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 108:10 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 108:23 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 108:38 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 108:53 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 109:05 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 109:23 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 109:36 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 109:51 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 110:04 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 110:21 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 110:39 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 110:58 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 111:10 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 111:24 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 111:39 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 112:02 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 112:19 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 112:37 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 112:52 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 113:09 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 113:22 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 113:36 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 113:55 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 114:12 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 114:29 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 114:42 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 114:55

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 115:39 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 115:58 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 116:14 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 116:29 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 116:47 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 117:01 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 117:20 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 117:34 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 117:50 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 118:10 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 118:23 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 118:37 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 118:53 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 119:06 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 119:23 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 119:36 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 119:50 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 120:03 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 120:15 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 120:27 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 120:40 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 120:59 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 121:15 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 121:30 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 121:45 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 121:57 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 122:12 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 122:24 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 122:39 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 122:54 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 123:09 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 123:27 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 123:42 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 123:56 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 124:07 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 124:20 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 124:38 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 124:49 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 125:03 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 125:19 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 125:41 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 125:57 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 126:13 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 126:28 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 126:42 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 126:55 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 127:09 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 127:24 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 127:38 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 127:51 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 128:07 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 128:19 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 128:35 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 128:49 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 129:05 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 129:24 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 129:38 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 129:56 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 130:13 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 130:27 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 130:42 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 130:59 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 131:13 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 131:27 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 131:40 Speaker A have not asked for enough keep on on a larger thing than you are seeking will certainly come to you

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 134:14 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 134:30 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 134:48 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 135:03 Speaker A must

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 137:17 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 137:29 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 137:44 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 138:00 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 138:15 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 138:29 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 138:42 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 138:53 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 139:08 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 139:24 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 139:38 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 139:52 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 140:06 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 140:21 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 140:39 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 140:56 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 141:08 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 141:23 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 141:40 Speaker A name is Lisa and I will see you in the next
