The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattles - sounds amusing doesn't it?Rhonda Byrne states that this publication was one of the major inspirations for her hit film and book, The Secret.I have to admit that I sometimes find it difficult to wrap my head around the Law of Attraction. I want to understand, but some of the explanations of this material are so convoluted I am made to feel like a dog chasing its tail,Wattles states in the preface to his book: "This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward."
You have the inherent right to live an abundant life. As Wattles explains, this is the natural order of things in the Universe. It's also a mindset that tends to fly in the face of normal social conventions. If you are like most people, your natural tendency is to believe you aren't deserving or worthy. This is the first area for you to focus on if you wish to become rich.There is a natural energy of the universe which is the essence of all creation and this energy is triggered your by thoughts. In other words, thoughts are real things and they are the catalyst to creating anything. First, there is the thought, then the feeling, then the action.The universe is naturally abundant. Rather than being tricked into believing resources are scarce and you must compete for everything, understand that abundance abounds. This frees you to use your creative mind.
Mastering your thoughts is the prerequisite to attracting riches into your life. You must learn to place your attention on what you intend to manifest rather than on what is. This is extremely difficult for most people. Thought mastery comes from your ability to harness your creative mind as opposed to your competitive mind. This is the essential "training" you must undertake because the default position of your mind is the competitive mind, which is in direct conflict to point number 3.Leaving the impression of increase in everything you do and with everyone you touch is one way you align with your creative mind. This is because you get back what you give, not what you want. When you focus on leaving the impression of increase, your focus is on serving others rather than yourself. By expressing gratitude, you further align your mind and your thinking with the creative energy of the universe. Gratitude is a powerful emotion that aligns closely with "love", which is the essence of the Universe.The secret to manifesting what you want is to use the technique of "creative visualization", or thinking in the "certain way". To manifest something new, simply hold a clear image of what want in your mind, with the feeling of appreciation and gratitude to the universe, and carry that image with you in everything you do.
Whatever your action is to be, it is evident that you must act NOW. You cannot act in the past, and 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.Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with all your mind. As you begin to live life this way you will find new energy and joy. The visions are expressions of your soul and will form into actions and then into physical reality.
In business, the key-thought in all your efforts must be to convey THE IMPRESSION OF INCREASE in other people's minds. Continuous advancement and increase in life is what all men and women are seeking. People are attracted to those who can give them more of the means of life and this attraction will result in you becoming rich. Therefore, no matter how small the transaction, even the selling of a stick of candy, put into it the thought of increase into the mind of the customer. Hold the unshakable faith in yourself, that you are in the way of increase and let it permeate every action. Don't boast of your success or seek power over other men. Beware the competitive mind! What you want for you, you must want for everybody.
Too many cooks have spoilt this broth and we have all gorged on this 'self-help motivational' banquet but in the end we just got mentally fatter rather than intellectually fitter. We got too much information and we got paralysed! We tried everything and got nowhere. We baked a cake that had a bit of Tony Robbins, a hint of Jack Canfield and Bob Procter all drizzled with generous amounts of Rhonda Byrne. The cake was a failure, it didn't rise, it was half-baked! Sound familiar? Know what I mean?
Some cautions and concluding observations - There is no limited supply of wealth. Governments keep the masses in poverty only because the masses allow this to happen by not thinking and acting in a Certain Way. If the masses were to move forward as suggested in this book; all systems would have to modify to accommodate this forward movement. The more men get rich on the competitive plane, the worse for others. Also, don't spend any time worrying about how you will meet possible emergencies. Concern your mind with doing today's work in a perfectly successful manner. No possible combination of circumstance can defeat a man or woman who is proceeding to get rich in the Certain Way.
A friend of mine suggested I read The Science Of Getting Rich by New Thought writer Wallace Wattles. She explained that this book had inspired Rhonda Byrne and the makers of the film The Secret and it's accompanying book, coincidentally also called The Secret! She's a smart girl and if she said it's so, it's good enough for me... and Rhonda Byrne has since confirmed this to Oprah.I knew of Wallace Wattles but had never read The Science Of Getting Rich. I regret that now. Ironically, I already had this book in my possession. It had been lying in my vast digital library collecting cyber dust.My mom always said to me 'Think happy, else your worst fears will always happen'. She was telling me exactly what the motivational leaders and personal development cadre write about today. That whatever you think about most will happen, that your dominant thinking creates your physical reality.Wattles wrote about this phenomena in 1910! Today in the 2010's a thousand business gurus, new-ageists, Jedi Masters and self-improvement ninjas throw this line at you all day long. Wattles exposed this 'secret' over a hundred years ago!Wattles writes directly AT you and pulls no punches. He doesn't hide behind phrases or rhymes or sound bites. He says it like it is, his words are crystal and he spells it out repeatedly so you get the message.
And the message is short and sweet because the truth is always short and sweet. Most people don't need 645 pages to learn about the 'secret'. Most just want someone to say 'do this, do this then this will happen'. Most people want an instruction leaflet, a quick start manual, a 'how to'. In my opinion, Wallace Wattles' masterpiece is just that. Tell me what I want to know in a 55 or so pages and I'll listen to you and follow you up the mountain and make the tea! Wattles says some things in this book that would be considered controversial in 2010 never mind 1910! He touches on religion, family, the poor and even on information overload but his thinking makes sense, it all adds up, it hits the mark. All opinions are subjective hence personal and so, in my opinion, this book reveals simply the best advice for anyone seeking the formula to create, attain or attract wealth, success and life-enhancement. Neither Wallace Wattles nor I can guarantee you'll get rich or wealthy but after reading The Science Of Getting Rich, you might... and, in the end, you might even get the girl (or the guy).
