To look upon the appearance of poverty will produce corresponding forms in your own mind. Instead you must hold to the truth that there is no poverty. There is only abundance.

Know the truth and the truth shall set you free. There is only one thing to be set free from - that is ignorance.

An aware person thinks what they want to think, regardless of appearances.

To think what you want to think is to THINK TRUTH regardless of appearances.

Wallace D. Wattles

CALMNESS of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought. You become calm in the measure that you understand yourself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as you develop a right understanding, and see more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, you cease to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remain poised, steadfast, serene.

A SELF-FULFILLING CYCLE OF DOOM

The average individuals mind is busily engaged in a hodge-podge of totally unrelated ideas, the likes of which you would have difficulty finding outside of a common encyclopedia. Their mind is being dazzled through their senses, by moving objects, flashy colors, wild and weird sounds. Order, vision and focus are near impossible because of the mental state they permit themselves to be in during their waking hours. They believe themselves to be a Physical Thing in a world of Things. They are clutched by an unseen enemy. The lack and limitation being expressed in their present results have captured their conscious control. They concentrate all of their mental energy on their limited supply, thereby creating more of the same.

The First Principle in 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.

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

Wallace D. Wattles

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created. At this point in the Science of Getting Rich Program, how do you feel about the syllabus that Mr. Wattles has shared with us?
