WILL POWER
YOU CANNOT RETAIN A TRUE CLEAR VISION OF WEALTH IF YOU ARE CONSTANTLY TURNING OUR ATTENTION TO OPPOSITE PICTURES, WHETHER THEY ARE EXTERNAL OR IMAGINARY.
DO NOT TELL OF YOUR PAST TROUBLES OF A FINANCIAL NATURE, IF YOU HAVE HAD THEM, DO NOT THINK OF THEM AT ALL. DO NOT TELL OF THE POVERTY OF YOUR PARENTS OR THE HARDSHIPS OF YOUR EARLY LIFE. TO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS IS TO MENTALLY CLASS YOURSELF WITH THE POOR FOR THE TIME BEING, AND IT WILL CERTAINLY CHECK THE MOVEMENT OF THINGS IN YOUR DIRECTION.
LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR DEAD.
PUT POVERTY AND ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO POVERTY COMPLETELY BEHIND YOU.
YOU HAVE ACCEPTED A CERTAIN THEORY OF THE UNIVERSE AS BEING CORRECT, AND ARE RESTING ALL YOUR HOPES OF HAPPINESS ON ITS BEING CORRECT. WHAT CAN YOU GAIN BY GIVING HEED TO CONFLICTING THEORIES?
DO NOT READ BOOKS THAT TELL YU THAT THE WORLD IS SOON COMING TO AN END. AND DO NOT READ THE WRITING OF PESSIMISTIC PHILOSOPHERS WHO TELL YOU THAT IT IS GOING TO THE DEVIL.
THE WORLD IS NOT GOING TO THE DEVIL, IT IS GOING TO GOD. IT IS WONDERFUL BECOMING.
TRUE, THERE MAY BE A GOOD MAY THINGS IN EXISTING CONDITIONS THAT ARE DISAGREEABLE, BUT WHAT IS THE USE F STYDING THEM WHEN THEY ARE CERTAINLY PASSING AWAY, AND WHEN THE STUDY OF THEM ONLY TENDS TO CHECK THEIR PASSING AND KEEP THEM WITH US? WHY GIVE TIME AND ATTENTION TO THINGS THAT ARE BEING REMOVED BY EVOLUTIONARY GROWTH, WHEN YOU CAN HASTEN THEIR REMOVAL ONLY BY PROMOTING THE EVOLUTIONARY GROWTH AS FAR AS YOUR PART OF IT GOES?
NO MATER HOW HORRIBLE IS SEEMING MAY BE THE CONDITIONS IN CERTAIN COUNTRIES, SECTIONS, OR PLACES, YOU WASTE YOUR TIME AND DESTROY YOUR OWN CHANCES BY CONSIDERING THEM.
YOU SHOULD INTEREST YOURSELF IN THE WORLD'S BECOMING RICH. THINK OF THE RICHES TE WORLD IS COMING INTO, INSTEAD OF THE POVERTY IT IS GROWING OUT OF. BEAR IN MIND THAT THE ONLY WAY IN WHICH YOU CAN ASSIST THE WORLD IN GROWING RICH IS BY GROWING RICH YOURSELF THROUGH THE CREATIVE METHOD - NOT THE COMPETITIVE ONE.
GIVE YOUR ATTENTION WHOLLY TO RICHES, IGNOE POVERTY.
WHENEVER YOU THINK OR SPEAK OF THOSE WHO ARE POOR, THINK AND SPEAK OF THEM AS THOSE WHO ARE BECOMING RICH AS THOSE WHO ARE TO BE CONGRATULATED RATHER THAN PITIED. THEN THEY AND OTHERS WILL CATCH THE INSPIRATION, AND BEGIN TO SEARCH FOR THE WAY OUT
BECAUSE YOU GIVE YOUR WHOLE TIME AND MIND AND THOUGHTTO RICHES, IT DOES NOT FOLLOW THAT YOU ARE TO BE SORDID OR MEAN.
TO BECOME REALLY RICH IS THE NOBLEST AIM YOU CAN HAVE IN LIFE, FOR IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING ELSE.
ON THE COMPETITIVE PLANE, THE STRUGGLE TO GET RIH IS A GODLESS SCRAMBLE FOR POWER OVER OTHERS, BUT WHEN WE COME INTO THE CREATIVE MIND, ALL THIS IS CHANGED.
OTHERS ARE POOR BECAUSE, WHILE THEY FEEL THAT THERE IS A WAY OUT, THEY ARE TOO INTELLECTUALY INDOLENT TO PUT FORTH THE MENTAL EFFORT NECESSARY TO FIND THAT WAY AND BY TRAVEL IT. FOR THESE THE VERY BEST THING YOU CAN DO IS TO AROUSE THEIR DESIRE AND BY SHOWING THEM THE HAPPINESS THAT COMES FROM BEING RIGHTLY RICH.
OTHERS STILL ARE POOR BECAUSE, WHILE THEY HAVE SOME NOTION OF SCIENCE, THEY HAVE BECOME SO SWAMPTED AND LOST IN THE MAZE OF METAPHYSICAL AND OCCULT THEORIES THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHICH ROAD TO TAKE. THEY TRY A MIXTURE OF MANY SYSTEMS AND FAIL IN ALL. FOR THESE, AGAIN, THE VERY BEST THING TO DO IS TO SHOW THE RIGHT WAY IN YOUR OWN PERSON AND PRACTICE. AN OUNCE OF DOING THINGS I WORTH A POUND OF THEORIZING.
THE VERY BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR THE WHOLE WORLD IS TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOURSELF.
YOU CAN SERVE GOD AND HUMANKING IN NO MORE EFFECTIVE WAY THAN BY GETTING RICH, THAT IS, IF YOU GET RICH BY THE CREATIVE METHOD AND NOT BY THE COMPETITIVE ONE.
READ THIS CAPTION EVERY DAY. KEEP IT WITH YOU. COMMIT IT TO MEMORY. DO NOT THINK ABOUT OTHER "SYSTEM" AND THEORIES. IF YOU DO, YOU WILL BEGIN TO HAVE DOUBTS AND TO BE UNCERTAIN AND WAVERING IN YOUR THOUGHT, AND THEN YOU WILL BEGIN TO MAKE FAILURES.
AFER YOU HAVE MADE GOOD AND BECOME RICH, YOU MAY STUDY OTHER SYSTEMS AS MUCH AS YOU PLEASE, BUT UNTIL YOU ARE QUITE SURE THAT YOU HAVE GAINED WHAT YOU WANT, NOT READ ANYTHIG ON THIS LINE BUT THIS BOOK.
AND READ ONLY THE MOST OPTIMISTIC COMMENTS ON THE WORLD'S NEWS- THOSE IN HARMONY WITH YOUR PICTURE.
THIS AND THE PRECEDING CHAPTERS HAVE BROUGHT US TO THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT OF BASIC FACTS ---
❤ THERE IS THINKING STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE, AND WHICH, IN ITS ORIGINAL STATE, PERMEATES, PENETRATES, AN FILLS THE INTERSPACES OF THE UNIVERSE.
❤ A THOUGHT, IN THIS SUBSTANCE, PRODUCES THE THING THAT IS IMAGED BY THE THOUGHT.
❤ WE CAN FORM THINGS IN OUR THOUGHT,. AND BY IMPRESSING OUR THOUGHT UPON DIVINE SUBSTANCE, CAN CAUSE THE THING WE THINK ABOUT TO BE CREATED.
❤ IN ORDER TO DO THIS, WE MUST PASS FROM THE COMPETITIVE TO THE CREATIVE MIND. WE MUST FORM A CLEAR MENTAL PICTURE OF THE THINGS WE WANT, AND HOLD THIS PICTURE IN OUR THOUGHTS WITH THE FIXED PURPOSE TO GET WHAT WE WANT, AND THE UNWAVERING FAITH THAT WE DO GET WHAT WE WANT, CLOSING OUR MIND AGAINST ALL THAT MAY TEND TO SHAKE OUR PURPOSE, DIM OUR VISION, OR QUENCH OUR FAITH.
AND IN ADDITION OF ALL THIS, WE SHALL NOW SEE THAT HE MUST LIVE AND ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY.
