The Science of Getting Rich ATTRACTING FINANCIAL SUCCESS THROUGH CREATIVE THOUGHT By WALLACE D. WATTLES Books
Wallace Wattles' The Science of
Getting Rich occupies a unique place in the sizeable library of guidebooks to
wealth and happiness. It blends ideas about right livelihood and positive
thinking with concrete suggestions for making positive affirmations.
Mr. Wattles presents his ideas as
a "science of getting rich." He describes a bountiful universe in
which divine purpose works in harmony with human aspirations. This cosmos is a
creative, constantly expanding place in which human beings can create form out
of formless potential through the power of their purpose and faith-through the
creation of clear images joined to concrete action in the present.
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. A person can form
things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance,
can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
The science of getting rich is
infallible and is available to every person. By choosing a creative rather than
a competitive plan, individual taps into the infinite potential of the
universe.
INTRODUCTION
This book is pragmatical, not
philosophical. It is a practical manual, not a treatise on theories. It is
intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money-for people
who wish to get rich first and philosophize afterward. It is for those who
have, so far, found neither the time, the means, or the opportunity to go
deeply into the study of metaphysics. It is intended for those 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.
Chapters of Book
1. The Right to be Rich
Whatever may be said in praise of
poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or
successful life unless one is rich. No person can rise to his greatest possible
height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money.
2. There is a Science of Getting Rich
There is a science of getting
rich. It is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain
laws which govern the process of acquiring riches. Once a person learns and
obeys these laws, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.
3. Is Opportunity Monopolized?
No person is kept poor because
opportunity has been taken away from him-because other people have monopolized
the wealth and have put a fence around it. You may decide not to engage in
certain kinds of business, but there are other channels open to you.
4. The First Principle in the Science of Getting Rich
The thought is the only power that
can produce tangible riches from the formless substance. The stuff from which
all things are made is a substance which thinks. A thought of form in this
substance produces the form.
5. Increasing Life
You must get rid of the last
a vestige of the old idea that there is a deity whose will it is that you should be
poor or whose purposes may be served by keeping you in poverty.
6. How Riches Come to You
When I say that you do not have
to drive sharp bargains, I do not mean that you do not have to drive any bargains
at all or that you are above the necessity for having any dealings with other
people.
7. Gratitude
The illustrations are given in the last chapter will have conveyed to the reader the fact that the first step
toward getting rich is to convey the idea of your wants to the formless
substance.
8. Thinking in the Certain Way
Turn back to chapter 6. Read
again the story of the man who formed a mental image of his house, and you will
get a fair idea of the initial step toward getting rich. You must form a clear
and definite mental picture of what you want. You cannot transmit an idea
unless you have it yourself.
9. How to Use the Will
To set about getting rich in a
scientific way, you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside of
yourself. You have no right to do so anyway. It is wrong to apply your will to
other men and women to get them to do what you wish done.
10. Further Use of the Will
You cannot retain a true and
a clear vision of wealth if you are constantly turning your attention to opposing
pictures, either external or imaginary.
11. Acting in the Certain Way
The thought is the impelling force
which causes the creative power to act. Thinking in a certain way will bring riches
to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to
personal action.
12. Efficient Action
You must use your thought as I
have directed in the previous chapters. You must begin to do what you can do
where you are, and you must do all that you can do where you are.
13. Getting Into the Right Business
Success, in any particular
business depends on one thing upon your possessing in a well-developed state the
faculties required in that business. Without good musical faculty, no one can
succeed as a teacher of music.
14. The Impression of Increase
Whether you change your vocation
or not, you must direct your present actions to the business in which you are
presently engaged.
15. The Advancing Man
What I have said in the last chapter applies to the professional and the wage earner as well as to a person who
is engaged in the mercantile business.
16. Some Cautions and Concluding observations
Many people will scoff at the idea that there is an exact science of getting rich. Holding the impression that
the supply of wealth is limited, they will insist that social and governmental
institutions must be changed before a considerable number of people can acquire
wealth.
17. A 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.
