The science of getting rich
This little book was the basis for the secret. If you only read one self-development book then this short book should be it. Many people blame external influences for their current position. Like My boss keeps me down, it's my company's fault, or the market/economy is bad. We are where we are today simply because we have not understood the laws of wealth.
Grasp the philosophy of abundance. Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches. When something appears to run low humans always find or develop another better resource to replace or take its place.
Running short is a false concept because the nature of the universe is perpetual creation lack has no objective reality and is simply the absence of abundance. By focusing on the abundance we focus on the essential truth of the universe.
If you wonder why there are great riches in the world yet you are not rich then focus on appreciating wealth and see yourself as part of the flow. Change your mindset from the need to get money to becoming prosperous.
The science of getting rich begins with the acceptance of absolute faith and the belief that anything is possible.
Mental mechanics of prosperity
Behind the physical appearance, the universe is a thought formless substance.
What is imagined in this field becomes reality when humans impress an individual thought within this energy thought field see it become naturally realized.
There is only one thinking substance from which all things come. So aligning yourself with the source field of thought means you become a co-creator.
You share its intelligence and creative power. However, you must recognize that it and not the world's appearance is the real truth that moves the universe. Impress within this universal field of thought what you want and it cannot be avoided to pass. This is the essence of power.
The universe/God is the source of supply, not your boss or the economy! When our desires are heartfelt and beneficial to all do not be shy to ask largely. If we impress the image of what we want onto our universal thought field it will come to us through ways of established trade and commerce. We can relax and know that it is on its way as there is never a limited supply. We don't have to hurry, snatch, covert, or steal.
What you do in life must be in harmony with its good purpose we cannot have riches to live in excess or as pure pleasures of the body or ego or to save the world. Also do not sacrifice yourself for others. The best way to help others is to become the best version of yourself.
Never pity others just inspire them to improve. Never talk about your past troubles do not associate yourself with troubles. Never speak of hard times. Never speak of doubt. Once on your path to success don't let yourself be exposed to any conflicting ideas. Think only that you are coming into Money, good health, and love.
" All men and women are attracted to him who can give them more of the means of life"
Keep this image in your mind at all times. That you are the person that advances others, who brings more life and more wealth to all. Let this be your golden rule. What I want for myself I want for everybody.
Become a creator, not a competitor.
Rid your thoughts of competition as you are to create not compete for what is already created. You do not have to take from anyone or drive hard bargains. We are all unique individuals and we progress most easily expressing our own individuality not by advancing at the expense of others. Battles or changing the world is just a waste of energy.
Competing suggests a finite supply and there is no end to new products and services or wealth as there are plenty of opportunities.
No one else can beat you to what you want as there is enough for all. If space is taken now there will be a better one waiting for you further on.
Gratitude
The grateful mind is constantly fixed on what is best therefore becomes the best, takes the character of the best, and receives the best.
If you focus at all on bad you will go backward.
The closer you live to the source of all wealth the more wealth we shall receive. Gratefulness for what you have and what you do opens the doors to more.
Final thought
Emphasis is on creativity, cooperation, giving, and gratitude. Find your place in the economy as a valued member. Become abundant in an honorable way.
All great people exhibit unwavering faith and are fully aware that the chief challenge of life and its chief success is to be able to replace fear with faith on a daily basis.
Such a person apprehends the world as it exists today to be all good and knows that they have a part to play in its being brought to completion.
