Summary Of The Science Of Getting Rich
THERE is a thinking stuff from which all things are
made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills
the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is
imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing
his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about
to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive
to the creative mind; otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the
Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in
spirit.
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless
Substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the
blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind of man with
the intelligence of Substance, so that man's thoughts are received by
the Formless. Man can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting
himself with the Formless Intelligence through a deep and continuous
feeling of gratitude.
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of the
things he wishes to have, to do, or to become; and he must hold this
mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Supreme
that all his desires are granted to him. The man who wishes to get rich
must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his Vision, and in earnest
thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much stress
cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental
image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the
process by which the impression is given to the Formless, and the
creative forces set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established
channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All
that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the man
who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not
waver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established
trade and commerce.
In order to receive his own when it shall come to him,
man must be active; and this activity can only consist in more than
filling his present place. He must keep in mind the Purpose to get rich
through the realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day,
all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a
successful manner. He must give to every man a use value in excess of
the cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes for more
life; and he must so hold the Advancing Thought that the impression of
increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes in contact.
The men and women who practice the foregoing
instructions will certainly get rich; and the riches they receive will
be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity
of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their
gratitude.
