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.
