Description

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 inexact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.

    • One of the Best Cases For the Justifiable Pursuit of Wealth
There are many people with highly religious backgrounds who have a strong hangup over the gaining of wealth. It seems money and wealth is such an evil, such a thorny and precarious path toward ones spiritual progress, that we dare not pursue it lest it "become our God" and we be damned to hell. In the battle that we must overcome with such thinking, I've rarely found a more concise and reasonable, even scripturally sound piece making the case for the Godly pursuit of wealth than that described here by Wattles a hundred years ago. Whether you're one who is religious in background, or not, and whether you have agonizing inner conflicts dealing with your "justification" of wealth, this book will be manna from heaven for your mind and heart in resolving your turmoil regarding that God-given inner drive to expand and become more---even more "rich." The globalists and elitists in this world bankroll and finance wicked and murderous regimes and ideologies, such as Marxism, all for a nefarious purpose. (Buy and read the must have "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by G. Edward Griffin with it's mammoth bibliography and explicit research to document for your the banker backed Bolsheviks etc.) These elitists are monopolists, they thrive and see everything in a "competitive" mode. They are selfish, and though fulfill a function, they will pass away as this grand creation called earth is "going to God" rather than "going to the devil" as Wattles puts it. Wealth is abundant. It is unlimited in supply, and there are not finite resources, but rather infinite resources for humanity to prosper. The elitists bankrolled vast propaganda, including the "Population bomb" and myth of population explosion. They breed mass hysteria about "scarcity" and limited ability of the earth to support humanity. They are eugenicists who long to see humanity eliminated down in numbers. Their writings, as documented in such films as Alex Jones' "End Game" which is available for free viewing on-line, are full of this. Wallace Waddles blows into the weeds all corrupt sophistry that would convince people that humanity is threatened with overpopulation, and that the earth is teetering on scarcity and "un-sustainability." On a religious note, one theologian said in the 1970's, and I agree with him: "With the help and blessings of the Lord, the free people of the United States and the free world can and will face tomorrow without fear, without doubt, and with full confidence. We do not fear the phony population explosion, nor do we fear a shortage of food, if we can be free and good. The Lord has declared, `... the earth is full, and there is enough and to spare. ...' " Waddles agrees, stating every family on earth could have built a palace the size of the capitol in Washington DC., and clothed with the finest clothing created from just the resources of the United States alone. I agree, and I find God is the author of such abundance and productivity if we would only believe it and ignore the "haters" as one lecturer refers to these "elitists" who hate witnessing their fellow man live in abundance and wealth. Waddles appears to be tied into quantum physics well before the term even existed. I am stunned as he describes the "thinking" substance of which all things are made. We humans, by power of thought, can have and assert energy, whether good or evil, upon his basic "intelligence" or substance of which all things are made. In short, Wattles gives a message that is the antithesis to the message given out by the Statists, the big bankers of our day and time, the "monopolists" and "money barons." The unlimited creation of wealth for our personal advancement in developing who we are is possible if we will bring forth the faith to do it. God creates worlds with faith by merely speaking his word, and the elements, or the "thinking substance" obeys his command. "Ye are gods" is a scriptural phrase, and we are like God in our capacity to think and learn to use this tremendous power of thought, to create and influence the very "thinking substance of matter" as God does. There is indeed a whole science to it, and physicists are coming up with profound discoveries that begin to have the reader take serious the depth and scope delivered to us a hundred years ago by Wattles. Become everything you can become. Glorify and thank God for it. Become magnificent. Become Rich. Advance in all areas of culture, health, learning, the arts and sciences. Let the creation of wealth move through you. Uplift yourself and surroundings, not in a "competitive" economic outlook, but in a "creative" one that neither steals nor plunders another for limited resources===for unlimited is the supply of abundance that we are to bring forth by this Godly power to create. Those with hangups toward obtaining wealth have found a great text to alter their mind and belief systems, and one which I find is no contradiction in scripture, but rather I feel the opposite. ... show more

    • Changed My Life. Helps Removes Barriers Around Money.
This book is a short read (should take you an evening or three if you allocate some time every night to read it). I'd say it's worth your while, for it changed the perspective I have around money. The perspective is this (warning: spoilers ahead). Money isn't there for you to save and horde. It isn't there for you to live until you're an old man or woman, then die a mediocre, unexamined life. Money enables you to enjoy enriching experiences. Money helps you to learn and do more so that you can be a more well-rounded, educated person, providing that body-of-knowledge and experience to other people, who will in turn reward you for helping them solve their problems. For example, I held off on purchasing a ham radio for over a year because I had a tremendous block around money. I thought it was foolish to spend several thousand dollars on a ham radio, along with antennas, tools, equipment, and other little nit-noids needed to operate. Basically, I was telling myself why it was stupid and foolish to spend the money. As a result, I talked myself out of enjoying radio for well over a year. This book helped changed my perspective around ham radio. It helped me to see that in the process of learning ham radio, I become a better engineer. It helped remind me why I wanted to get into radio in the first place: To learn about antennas and the magic of radios, those electromagnetic waves that go thousands of miles to other stations around the world, with little more than a piece of wire in my backyard. I had wanted to learn about electrical magnetic interference, the propagation of radio waves, and an intuitive understanding of electricity in general. These are things that I cannot get on the job because I'm mainly a software guy, writing code to interface with hardware, of which I have little understanding. By learning ham radio on the side, I build up this wealth of knowledge that in turn helps me understand hardware better. I become more marketable and in the process enrich my life. I hadn't realize just how much I would enjoy the hobby until I started to actually do it, and this book has helped me to overcome my stupid money barriers. If you have barriers around spending money, then I'd recommend reading this book to understand how to have more of it so that you don't have to worry about spending the money you have now, thinking you'll never see it again because of insecurities and fears around not being able to make more of the green stuff. ... show more

    • It's a solid book, not too much overwhelmed with it.
Read full review on my blog: imeducatingmyself.com/the-science-of-getting-rich-by-wallace-d-wattles-book-review There is a part in this book, right at beginning of it, describing the 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 afterword. It is for those who have, so far, find neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity, to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached. Chapter 1 – The right to be rich Chapter 2 – There is a science of getting rich Chapter 3 – Is opportunity monopolized? Chapter 4 – The first principle in the science in Getting Rich Chapter 5 – Increasing life Chapter 6 – How riches come to you Chapter 7 – Gratitude Chapter 8 – Thinking in a Certain Way Chapter 9 – How to use the Will Chapter 10 – Further use of the Will Chapter 11 – Acting in the Certain Way Chapter 12 – Efficient action Chapter 13 – Getting into the Right Business Chapter 14 – The impression of increase Chapter 15: The advancing man Chapter 16 – Same caution and concluding observations Chapter 17 – Summary of the Science of Getting Rich This book can be described easily as: Use your power of thought to think the ways you can make more money with knowledge that you already possess; but don’t stop with just thinking and planning, you need to take the action, because you’ll achieve nothing if you don’t work on getting your plans and thoughts into reality.

I appreciate that everything taught in this book is in perfect harmony with the law of attraction, the law of creation, and natural law. If more of us follow the teachings in this book, the world will soon be as wonderful as we all imagine it should be.

    • The Basics of the Law of Attraction
This book has been recommended to me as fundamental to my mindset work around money by multiple coaches & teachers in my life. I understand that many people who teach about mindset found this book, now over 100 years old, either on their own journey or after reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, as she refers to this book as the foundation as well. Here’s the thing: this book is now outdated — in both the social references (Wallace refers to the “end of Rockefeller’s time”) and in the language. It’s a 2-hour read, and even for someone who has read thousands of books, I had to read it visually while listening to the audible version to get through it. Yes, the book is cheap & you can find it at the library easily. But if you want the fundamentals of the Law of Attraction go with a more current book - like You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero - where you get simple, straightforward steps to rewiring your thoughts, visualization and the importance of gratitude so you can create a life you love. The one piece I did take away from this book was the idea that God/the Universe/your higher power WANTS you to have want you want and to be rich even more than you do. You can only live your best, most abundance, fulfilling life when you have the money to do so with the way society is set up today — and that is the only way you can also best serve others & your highest good. One final note — the audiobook would get 1-star, not 3, from me. The narrator skipped over parts that were emphasized and written twice, added in anecdotes from the Bible (ugh) and replaced “person” with “man” (along with other random words) so I lost my place while reading along repeatedly. I would NOT recommend. I’m glad I got through it though, so I can skip recommending it to anyone else! ... show more
