The Science of Getting Rich
A proponent of the "New Thought" movement, influenced by the likes of Emerson, Hegel, and Plato, Wallace Wattles, unremarkable in all things but his dogged determination to succeed, published "The Science of Getting Rich" in 1910.
Finally having found the way and illuminated the path for others to follow, he had likely fulfilled his life purpose, as he wrote "...
for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.
" Wallace departed this earth in 1911.
"The Science of Getting Rich" is not philosophy or speculative treatise - rather it is a practical, direct guide to forging a life of substance and achievement.
Through consistent, deliberate action, in the way Wallace outlines, any individual can succeed and prosper.
"It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects; and, therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.
" Wallace explains opportunity abounds and defines the specific steps to leverage the process leading to wealth; a process available to everyone.
Attaining wealth, or achieving any objective in life, is not a matter of environment, or heredity, or privilege - in the final analysis achieving is the result of doing things in a certain way.
So, if wealth is what you desire, wealth is within your reach - just do what it takes to get rich.
All things in this reality inherently express more and fuller functioning.
Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of wellbeing working inexorably to advance life.
Those moving with this tide sense the opportunities.
The connection between the nature and purpose of reality and the individual operating within its depths is thought.
Thought is the means to navigate experience.
Harnessing thought produces tangible results.
Thought is an energy that moves formless substance, unbridled potential, and fashions it in the world of form.
The individual creates the world of experience by the thoughts he or she holds in his or her mind.
Thinking in a certain way, controlling creative thought, is the key to riches; the key to achieving or experiencing anything and everything in life.
Desires manifest in consciousness are the seeds of achievement - the motivation to increase life.
In an unlimited universe no one need compete to achieve.
The way to realize abundance is to create in concert with the intentions of the whole.
The essential condition to achieving intentions is to believe with an unshakable faith that you create the reality you desire.
You are the master of your destiny.
With this faith ask largely then act.
Action sets the conditions to receive.
Give to everyone you encounter more than you take from them.
Despite any outward appearances to the contrary maintain yourself in a constant state of thankfulness.
In a state of deep and profound gratitude you enable unlimited supply to manifest in your reality.
Do not judge or condemn, rather be grateful for all and in gratitude prosper.
Maintain a clear picture of what it is you desire.
Focus your intent so much so that your aim seems as real to you as if it were already manifest.
Act in faith with gratitude, for your desire will be presented to you according to your faith while you work to receive it.
Prayer and thanksgiving are the means of receiving.
The entire process - manifesting desires of every kind - is an inward striving.
True riches are not attained by manipulating or using people in any way.
"Moral and spiritual greatness is possible only to those who are above the competitive battle for existence; only those who are becoming rich on the plane of creative thought are free...
" Focus on the desire - the result.
How results manifest are outside of your control.
Thought is the creative power.
Thought must, however, remain connected with personal action.
Dreaming, wishing, hoping is not the means to abundance.
"Retain your vision, stick to your purpose, and maintain your faith and gratitude.
" By acting you meet the destiny you summon to yourself.
Grow larger than your current place and circumstances.
Everyday offers new opportunities for you to expand life.
Mental power and personal action together will lead you toward your goal.
"Gratitude will never fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose.
" By you advancing yourself you advance everyone.
If you have the Advancing Mind, the Faith that you can become rich, and move forward with fixed purpose to become rich, nothing can hold you back.
You will receive in exact proportion to your definiteness of vision, fixity of purpose, steadfastness of faith and depth of gratitude.
