There is a great old book called "The Science of Getting Rich" written in 1911 by a man named Wallace Wattles. The book was the inspiration for "The Secret" a movie all about the law of attraction. Although "The Science of Getting Rich" is about the law of attraction, it never calls it that, even so this book is perhaps the best reference about using the law and putting it into action in your life.
Basically using the law of attraction boils down to setting up a daily cycle in your life.Visualize an outcome - see the result,Take note of the ideas that come to mind,See the world in the context of this vision,Notice new things, create a mindset that appreciates things rather than discounts them,Add in these things to your vision and let the vision morph,Take action in anyway that you can on these ideas and on your vision,Repeat morning and night every day.Wattles states:You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea before you have it yourself. You must have it before you can give it; and many people fail to impress Thinking Substance because they have themselves only a vague and misty concept of the things they want to do, have, or to become.If you close your eyes right now can you see a picture of what you want in your life? Can you step into it and feel, smell, and hear? Wattles says: It is not enough that you should have a general desire for wealth "to do good with" everybody has that desire.
Bob Proctor was once like the rest of us, looking for a way to make more money and become financially wealthy. He was given a long forgotten book written by Delois Wattles called the Science of Getting Rich and his life was forever changed. Bob recognized the potential contained within the book and used it to amass wealth and success.
Wattles was born poor and spent much of his life poor. After he became an adult, he spent much time as a failure, barely making enough to feed himself from day to day. One day, it occurred to Wattles that there was a common thread between those who were rich and how they came into their riches. It was then that he put this method into practice, writing a book that detailed the method, and becoming a wealthy member of the aristocracy. After brief popularity, the book, The Science of Getting Rich was forgotten along with the methods. That is, until one day when Bob Proctor was handed this little green book full of secrets that he used to become wealthy and successful himself.
Wattles' book outlines the the process of creative visualization, which is one of the foundations upon which The Science of Getting Rich is based. It has gained strong popularity within the self help industry because, while he doesn't use the exact language, it is really all about harnessing law of attraction. More specifically, Wattles' book is an instruction manual that teaches you how to use the law of attraction.
In addition, his book precedes the far more popular classic Think And Grow Rich, which was written by Napoleon Hill. Upon reading the two books, one can't help but wonder to what degree if any, Wattles' work may have influenced Hill. There are commonalities between the two books that are unmistakeable. For the true student of law of attraction and for anyone looking to understand the mechanics of the process of deliberate creation and creating a life of inspired abundance, The Science of Getting Rich is a very valuable read.
Filmmaker Rhonda Byrne discovered Wallace D. Wattles and his book, "The Science of Getting Rich," in 2004. And, who knew the small dusty tome in Byrne's hands would become the phenomenon that is presently sweeping the globe. Initially, Rhonda Byrne didn't know. It wasn't until her whole life transformed, as a result of reading the book, that she became determined to bring the knowledge contained in this book to the world.
Nothing is further from the truth. The truth is, talented people only do well when they do something with the talent they have.Getting rich is not the result of saving.One of the biggest myths is that in order to be successful you have to have money, or you have to save your money for 30 or 40 years in order to accumulate wealth.The Internet is the biggest proof that this isn't true. Thousands have gone from nothing to millions in just a few years by learning how to use the Internet to make money.
Once you get used to the arcane language, the book is crystal clear in virtually every argument it poses, from everyone's right to be rich, to the abundance of opportunities available to anyone, and how riches are attracted. The book takes only a few pages to clearly cut straight to the chase. In fact, you've almost got to love any book about money that, in it's first sentence, says that it's, "a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories...intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money, who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward.
Throughout the book, Wattles directly encourages us to "Think in The Certain Way," implores us to connect to the universal source of all things through gratitude, and, most importantly, insists that we take action to create results."The Science of Getting Rich" is a true breath of fresh air. Not only does it summarize what wealth seekers need to know to get on the path to riches, it leaves a path to follow and imparts the faith that anyone who gets, and stays, on the path will reach their destination. Any secret that makes those kinds of promises should never remain a secret.
