The Science of Getting Rich

The Science of Getting Rich is an excellent little book which explains how you can attract riches into your life, using the creative plane.

It contains some wonderful truths, and deserves re-reading and re-reading.

it was written by Wallace D. Wattles in 1910. As some of the wording is a bit antiquated and complex for us today, I am going through as I study it, and drafting each chapter in more modern language.

I hope that you find this information valuable and that you can use it to achieve the life you deserve.

All best wishes,

Diane

The Science of Getting Rich in Essence 

SOGR in The Secret and the Laws of Attraction

The Secret and the Laws of Attraction in essence is that we all contain the divine spark. Our creator created us in his own image, and we have that creative spark within us. Our creator used thoughts to create the universe and this world. He is a vibrational energy which caused the physical plane to come into existence by use of this thoughts, which are a form of that energy. We also have this facility to create events and objects on the physical plane by use of our thoughts.

However, we can only create on this level if our thoughts are focused on what we want. When we worry or think negatively, we throw up negative images, and so our unconscious mind thinks that is what we are trying to create. The Law of Attraction states that we attract that upon which we focus. No wonder that we attract into our lives that which we most dwell upon! So we must guard our thoughts so that we focus on what we want in our lives, so that we become the creative force that we were born to be. If we harness our powers, we can become co-creators of our lives.

Your Right to be Rich 

It is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.

We develop in mind, soul and body by using things, and society is arranged that we need money in order to be the possessor of things. Therefore the basis of all advancement must be the science of getting rich

Every person naturally wants to become all they are capable of becoming. You can only become what you want to be by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them. Therefore, the understanding of the science of getting rich is the most essential of all knowledge.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller and more abundant life. It is perfectly right that you should want to be rich. In fact, it is your obligation to become so. It is perfectly right for you to give your best attention to the science of getting rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity, for you have an obligation to God and to humanity to make the most of yourself.

There is a Science to Getting Rich 

There is an exact science togetting rich. The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. It is a natural law which states that causes always produce like effects, and therefore any person who learns to do things in the certain way will infallibly become rich.

Getting rich is not the result of environment. It is not the result of following a particular business.

Getting rich is the result of doing things in a certain way.

You must live in harmony with the laws governing the Universe.

Is Opportunity Monopolised? 

No one is kept poor because other people have monopolised the wealth and have put a fence around it. You may be shut out from engaging in business in certain lines, but there are other avenues open to you. No one is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches; there is more than enough for all. The supply is inexhaustible.

Everything you see on earth is made from the one original substance, out of which all things proceed. There is no limit to the supply of formless stuff, or original substance. The universe is made out of it, but it was not all used in making the universe. The spaces in, through and between the forms of the visible universe are permeated and filled with the original substance, with the formless stuff, which is the raw material of all things. This provides an inexhaustible supply.

No one is poor because there is not enough to go round. Nature is an inexhaustible store-house of riches; the supply will never run short. Original substance is alive with creative energy, and is constantly producing more forms. Humankind as a whole is always abundantly rich.

The formless stuff is intelligent; it is stuff that thinks. It is alive and is always impelled towards more life. The universe is a great living presence, always moving inherently toward more life and fuller functioning. Nature is formed for the advancement of life, and its impelling motive is the increase of life. So everything which can possibly minister to life is bountifully provided.

You are not kept poor by the lack of supply of riches.

The First Principle  

in the Science of Getting Rich

Thought is the only power which can produce tangible riches from the formless substance. We live in a thought world, which is part of a thought universe.

Every thought of form, held in thinking substance, causes the creation of that form. Generally the form is along lines of growth and action already established. For example, if you focus on a house, the thinking substance will not cause the immediate creation of that house, but it can influence the creative energies already working in trade and commerce into the right channels to cause the speedy building of that house.

A person is a thinking centre and can originate thought. A human cannot shape a thing unless he has held it in thought first. Man has concentrated so far on making things in the physical form, and has not given sufficient attention to producing things from the formless substance by communicating his thoughts to it.

Increasing Life 

You must get rid of the idea that there is a deity whose will it is that you should be poor.

The intelligent substance which is all, and in all, and which lives in all, including you, is a consciously living substance. As it is a consciously living substance, it has the inherent nature for increase of life. Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of life, because life must increase itself.

A seed dropped on the ground springs into activity, and in the act of living, produces a hundred more seeds. Life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever becoming more. It must do so, if it continues to exist at all.

Consciousness is continually expanding. We are subject to the urge of life, seeking expression, whichever drives us on to know more, to do more, and to be more.

In order to know more, do more and be more, we must have more. We must have things to use. We must get rich so that we can live more.

The desire for riches is simply the capacity for larger life seeking fulfilment. The same aspect that prompts you to want more money is the same as that which makes the plant grow. It is life seeking fuller expression.

The one living substance desires to live more in and through you. Therefore it wants you to have all the things you can use. It is the desire of God that you should get rich. He wants you to get rich because he can express himself better through you if you have plenty of things to use in giving him expression. He can live more in you if you have unlimited command of the means of life.

The universe desires you to have everything you want to have. Nature is friendly to your plans. However, it is essential that your purpose should harmonise with the purpose that is in all. You must want real life, not mere pleasure or sensual gratification.

Get rid of the idea that God wants you to sacrifice yourself for others. God requires nothing of the kind. What God wants is that you should make the most of yourself, and you can help others more by making the most of yourself. You can make the most of yourself only by getting rich.

You are to become a creator, not a competitor. You are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it, every other person whom you affect, will have more than he has now.

How Riches come to you 

Give more in use value than the cash value that you take from people in your business. When you rise from the competitive plane to the creative plane, you can scan your business transactions very strictly, and if you are selling someone something that is not adding more to his life than the thing he gave you in exchange, you can afford to stop it.

When you use the creative plane to create things in your life, do not expect them to take shape from the atmosphere, and come into being in front of your eyes. For example, if you want a sewing machine, you need to hold the image of it with the most positive certainty that it is being made, or it is on its way to you. After once forming the thought, have the most absolute and unquestioning faith that the sewing machine is coming. Never think of it or speak of it in any other way than as being sure it is to arrive. Claim it as already yours.

It will be brought to you by the power of the supreme intelligence, acting upon the minds of men. Do not forget for a moment that the thinking substance is through all, in all, communicating with all, and can influence all. The desire of thinking substance for fuller life and better living has caused the creation of all sewing machines ever made, and it can cause the creation of millions more - and will do so, whenever people set it in motion by desire and faith, and by acting in a certain way.

You need not hesitate about asking largely. "It is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom" said Jesus. Original substance wants you to have all you can use and will use for the living of the most abundant life.

If you fix upon your consciousness the fact that your desire for the possession of riches is at one with the desire of the supreme power for more complete expression, your faith becomes invincible.

God, the one substance, is trying to live, and do and enjoy things through humanity. He is saying "I want hands to build wonderful structures, to play divine harmonies, to pain glorious pictures. I want feet to run my errands, eyes to see my beauties, tongues to tell mighty truths and to sing marvellous songs".

All that there is of possibility is seeking expression through people. God wants those who can play music to have pianos, and very other instrument so that they can cultivate their talents to the fullest extent. He wants those who can appreciate beauty to be able to surround themselves with beautiful things. He wants those who can discern truth to have every opportunity to travel and observe.

He wants all these things because it is himself that enjoys and appreciates them through us; they are his creation. It is God who wants to play, and sing, and enjoy beauty, and proclaim truth, and wear fine clothes and eat good foods. The desire you feel for riches is the infinite, seeking to express himself in you. So you need not hesitate to ask largely. Your part is to focus on and express that desire to God.

Do not retain the old idea that that poverty and self-sacrifice are pleasing to God, or that He has finished his work, and made all he can make, so that there is not enough to go around.

Do not be afraid to ask for great things. He gives an example of a student who started to focus his attention on the formless substance, but as he was a poor man living in rented accommodation, he could not grasp the fact that all wealth was his. So he simply asked for a new rug and a coal stove, and he achieved these things in a few months'. Then it dawned on him that he had not asked for enough! So he went through the house where he lived, and planned all the improvements he would like to make. He held the image in his mind and began living in the certain way, and he owns the house now and is rebuilding it according to his mental image.

It has been given to him according to his faith, and so it is with you and with all of us.

Gratitude 

In order to convey your thoughts to the formless substance, it is necessary to relate yourself to it in a harmonious way. This is extremely important, and if you do so, it will bring you into perfect unity of mind with the supreme power, God.

The whole process of adjustment and attunement can be summed up in one word :- Gratitude.

1. Believe that there is one intelligent substance
2. Believe that this substance gives you everything you desire
3. Relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude.

If you do not have gratitude, riches will not follow, as you cut the wires which connect by failing to make this acknowledgement.

Thinking in the Certain Way 

When impressing your thoughts on the thinking substance, it must be done in a coherent statement. It must be specific and definite, not vague longings. Get a clear mental picture - visualise, and keep it in mind at all times.

Behind your clear vision must be purpose, to bring it into tangible expression. Behind the purpose there must be an unwavering FAITH that the thing is already yours. You only have to take possession of it. Be as thankful of it now as if it was already in physical form.

How to use the Will 

Substance is friendly to you, it is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.
To get rich you simply need to apply your willpower upon yourself.

Use your mind to form a mental image of what you want and hold onto it with faith and purpose. Do not project your thoughts out into the universe, it can accomplish more at home.

Doubt or disbelief will cause a movement from you, just as faith and purpose bring it toward you. Every hour and moment you spend in worry, every hour you are possessed by disbelief, sets a current away from you in the domain of intelligent substance. All the promises are to those who believe, and to those only.

As belief is so important, you must guard your thoughts. If you want to be rich, your study must not be on poverty, it must be on wealth. You do not bring something in by considering its opposite. Give clear message of what you DO want.

Efficient Action 

Evolution is natural and this law is exactly the same for you. Every day is either a successful day, or a failure, and it is the successful days that get you what you want. If every day is a failure, you can never get rich, while if every day is a success, you cannot fail to get rich. If there is something that may be done today, and you do not do it, then you have failed as far as that thing is concerned, and the consequences may be far more disastrous than you can imagine. You cannot foresee the results of even the most trivial act. Much my be dependent on you doing some simple act, and it may be the very act which is to open the door to very great possibilities. You can never know what arrangements the supreme intelligence is making for you, and your neglect or failure to so do some small things may cause a long delay in getting what you want.

Do every day, ALL that can be done that day. However, you must not overwork. Don't try to do tomorrow's work today. Success is not dependent on the number of things that you do, but the EFFICIENCY of each separate action that counts. Every act in itself is either a success or a failure. Every inefficient act is a failure, and if you spend your life undertaking inefficient acts, your whole life will be a failure. If all your acts are inefficient ones, it follows that the more you do, the more of a failure your life is! On the other hand, every efficient act is a success, and if every act in your life is an efficient one, your whole life must be a success. The cause of failure is doing too many things in an inefficient manner and not doing enough things in an efficient manner. It follows that if you do not do any inefficient acts, and you do a sufficient number of efficient acts, you will become rich. In this way, we see that the science of getting rich is an exact science, like mathematics.

The Advancing Person 

Whatever profession or business you are in, if you give increase of life to others and make them aware of that fact, they will be attracted to you, and you will become rich. The law of the increase of life is as mathematically certain as the law of gravity. Getting rich is an exact science. Every man and woman who follows these instructions exactly, will get rich.

There is a power which never fails to present opportunity to the advancing personality who is moving in obedience to the law. God cannot help helping you if you act in the certain way. He must do so to help himself. There is nothing in your circumstances that that can keep you down if you live your life in the certain way. Start this way of thinking and acting, and your faith and purpose will enable you to see any opportunity to better your condition. Such opportunities will speedily come, as the supreme power who is working through you, will bring them to you.

Do not wait for the perfect opportunity. When an opportunity presents itself to you that helps you to become more than you are, feel compelled towards it, and take it. It will be the first step toward a greater opportunity. For the person who is living the advancing life, there is no such thing as a lack of opportunities. It is an inherent law in the universe that all things should be for him and work together for his good. He must get rich if he acts and thinks in the certain way. This information will never fail.

Summary of The Science of Getting Rich 

The Science of Getting Rich

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made. In its original state, it permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe.

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he is thinking about to be created.

In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. Otherwise he cannot be in harmony with formless intelligence, which is always creative. A person may come into harmony with the formless substance by maintaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows on him. Gratitude unifies the minds of individuals with the intelligence of substance, so that a person's thoughts are received by the formless. A person can remain upon the creative plane by uniting himself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.

A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the thing he wishes to do or to become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the supreme intelligence. The person who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure in contemplating his vision, and in giving thanksgiving for what has already been given.

The importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and gratitude cannot be over-emphasised. This is the process by which impression is given to the formless, and the creative set in motion.

The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth. All in the mental image will be brought to the person who follows these instructions, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through the established ways of established trade and commerce. To attract what is rightfully his, a person must act in such a way that causes him to be more than filling his present place. He must keep in mind the purpose to get rich through realisation of his mental image. He must do each day all that can be done that day, taking care to undertake each act in a successful manner. He must give to each person a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each transaction adds more to life. He must hold the advancing thought so that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.

The person who practices these instructions will certainly get rich, and the riches received 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.
