The Science of Getting Rich

#01

Chapter 1

Your birthright

The Right to Be Rich

You have the natural right to be rich. Life means the complete expression of all that you can give forth through body, mind, and soul—and you need riches to do this.

Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it's impossible to live a really complete or successful life unless you're rich. No one can rise to their greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless they have plenty of money.

"There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches."

To develop soul, mind, and body to their fullest extent, you must have the use of things—and you cannot have the use of things unless you have the money to buy them. Therefore, the basis of all advancement must be the science of getting rich.

The desire for riches is simply the capacity for larger life seeking fulfillment. Every desire is the effort of an unexpressed possibility to come into action. It's power seeking to manifest—deny it, and you deny the life force itself.

Chapter 2

Exact science

The Certain Way

There is a science of getting rich—an exact science, like mathematics. Anyone who learns and does things in the Certain Way will get rich with mathematical certainty.

Getting rich is not a matter of environment. If it were, all people in certain neighborhoods would be wealthy, while those in other places would all be poor. But we see rich and poor living side by side in the same locale, often in the same business.

"Getting rich is not a matter of environment; if it were, all the people in certain neighborhoods would become wealthy. It is not a matter of choosing some particular business or profession."

It's not about talent or special ability. Many very able people remain poor, while others with less ability become rich. Getting rich is the result of doing things in a Certain Way—and anyone who learns to do things in this way will infallibly get rich.

The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a Certain Way. Those who do things in this Certain Way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this Certain Way remain poor, no matter how hard they work or how able they are.

Chapter 3

Abundance available

Opportunity Is Not Monopolized

No one is kept poor because opportunity has been taken away. There is abundance for everyone. You can create your own opportunities.

Some believe that the rich have monopolized all the opportunities and that the poor have no chance. This is entirely false. New opportunities are constantly being created, and no one can prevent you from seizing them.

"Nobody is kept in poverty by a shortness in the supply of riches. There is more than enough for all."

Nature is an inexhaustible storehouse of riches; the supply will never run short. Original Substance is alive with creative energy and constantly producing more forms. When the supply is exhausted in one medium, more can be created from Formless Substance.

Do not wait for a change of environment or for opportunities to come to you. Form a clear mental vision of what you want and begin to act on that vision now, right where you are. The opportunities will come.

Chapter 4

Formless Intelligence

Thinking Substance

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made. A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.

The visible universe is made from an original Formless Substance. In its original state, this substance permeates, penetrates, and fills all space. It is the raw material of all things.

"A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought."

This Formless Substance is intelligent; it is stuff that thinks. A thought of form in this substance produces the form. A thought of motion produces motion. Every form and process in nature is the visible expression of a thought in Original Substance.

When you form a thought-picture of anything and hold that picture in your mind with faith and purpose, the thing you picture is created from the Formless Substance. You can so impress your thoughts upon it as to cause the thing you think about to be created.
