THERE is a thinking stuff from which all things are
made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the inter spaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing
his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be
created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the
competitive to the creative mind; otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the
Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in
spirit.
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless
Substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it
bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind of man with the intelligence of
Substance, so that man’s thoughts are received by the Formless. Man can remain
upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the Formless Intelligence
through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of
the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become; and he must hold this mental
image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all his
desires are granted to him. The man who wishes to get rich must spend his
leisure hours in contemplating his Vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the
reality is being given to him. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance
of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith
and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to
the Formless, and the creative forces set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established
channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is
included in his mental image will surely be brought to the man who follows the
instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will
come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.
In order to receive his own when it shall come to
him, man must be active; and this activity can only consist in more than
filling his present place. He must keep in mind the Purpose to get rich through
the realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be
done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner. He must give
to every man a use value in excess of the cash value he receives, so that each
transaction makes for more life; and he must so hold the Advancing Thought that
the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes in
contact.
The men and women who practice the foregoing
instructions will certainly get rich; and the riches they receive 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.
