CHAPTER 16 –
Conclusion
MANY people will ridicule the idea that there is an exact science of
becoming Wealthy and Rich; holding the impression that the supply of
wealth is limited to just a few, they will insist that social and
governmental institutions must be changed before even any considerable
number of people can acquire riches.
It is true that some existing governments will tax the masses keeping
them
in a shortage of wealth and riches, while conversely keeping themselves
in comfort; this is because the masses are not prgrammed to act and
think in a
Certain Way. If the masses do not begin to move forward as suggested in
this manuscript, governments nor industrial systems can check them; all
systems must be modified to accommodate the forward of life movement.
If men and woman have the Advancing Mind, have the Faith that they can
become wealthy, and move forward with the fixed purpose to become rich,
nothing can possibly keep them in poverty. Individuals may change and
learn the Certain Way at any time, and under any government, and make
themselves rich; and when
any considerable numbers of individuals do so under any government,
they
will cause the system to be so modified as to open the way for others.
More people who become wealthy on
the competitive plane, the worse for others. The more who become rich
on the creative plane, the better for others? The economic salvation of
the masses can only be accomplished by getting a large number of people
to practice the scientific method set down in this eBook, and become
wealthy. These will show others the way, and inspire
them with a desire for real life, with the faith that it can be
attained, and with the purpose to attain it.
For the present, however, it is enough to know that neither the
government under which you live nor the capitalistic or competitive
system of industry can keep you from becoming wealthy. When you enter
upon the creative plane of thought you will raise above all these
things and become a citizen of another kingdom.
But remember that your thought must be held upon the creative plane;
you are never for an instant to be betrayed into regarding the supply
as limited, or into acting on the moral level of competition. Whenever
you do fall into old ways of thought, correct yourself instantly; for
when you are in the competitive
mind, you have lost the cooperation of the Universal Consciousness of
the
Whole.
Do not spend any time in planning
as to how you will meet possible emergencies in the future, except as
the necessary policies may affect your actions today. You are concerned
with doing today' work in a perfectly successful manner, and not with
emergencies which may arise tomorrow; you can attend to them as they
come. Do not concern yourself with questions as to how you shall
surmount obstacles that may loom upon your
business horizon, unless you can see plainly that your course must be
altered
today in order to avoid them. No matter how tremendous an obstruction
may
appear at a distance, you will find that if you go on in the Certain
Way
it will disappear as you approach it, or that a way over, though, or
around
it will appear.
No possible combination of circumstances can defeat a man or woman who
is proceeding to become wealthy and rich along strictly scientific
lines. No man or woman who obeys the law can fail to become wealthy and
rich, any more than one can multiply two by two and fail to get four.
Give no anxious thought to possible disasters, obstacles, panics, or
unfavourable combinations of circumstances; it is time enough to meet
such things when they present themselves before you in the immediate
present, and you will find that every difficulty carries with it the
wherewithal for its overcoming.
It is inherent in the constitution of the cosmos that all things
shall be for him and work together for his good; and he must certainly
become rich if he acts and thinks in the Certain Way. So let
wage-earning men and women study these teachings with great care, and
enter with confidence upon the course of action it prescribes; it will
not fail.
Guidelines for Success
· Guard your speech. Never speak of yourself,
your affairs, or of anything else in a discouraged or discouraging way.
· Never admit the possibility of failure, or
speak in a way that infers failure as a possibility.
· Never speak of the times as being hard, or
of business conditions as being doubtful.
· Times may be hard and business doubtful for
those who are on the competitive plane, but they can never be so for
you; you can create what you want, and you are above fear.
· When others are having hard times and poor
business, you will find your greatest opportunities.
· Train yourself to think of and to look upon
the world as a something which is becoming wealthy and rich which is
growing; and to regard seeming evil as being only that which is
undeveloped.
· Always speak in terms of advancement; to do
otherwise is to deny your faith, and to deny your faith is to lose it.
· Never allow yourself to feel disappointed.
You may expect to have a certain thing at a certain time, and not get
it
at that time; and this will appear to you like failure. But if you hold
to your faith you will find that the failure is only apparent.
· Go on in the certain way, and if you do not
receive that thing, you will receive something so much better that you
will see that the seeming failure was really a great success.
An example; A student of this science had set his mind on making a
certain
business combination, which seemed to him at the time to be very
desirable,
and he worked for some, weeks to bring it about. When the crucial time
came,
the thing failed in a perfectly inexplicable way; it was as if some
unseen
influence had been working secretly against him. He was not
disappointed;
on the contrary, he thanked the Universal Consciousness that his desire
had
been overruled, and went steadily on with a grateful mind. In a few
weeks
an opportunity so much better came his way that he would not have made
the
first deal on any account; and he saw that a Mind which knew more than
he
knew had prevented him from losing the greater good by entangling
himself
with the lesser.
That is the way every seeming failure will work out for you, if you
keep your faith, hold to your purpose, have gratitude, and do, every
day, all that can be done that day, doing each separate act in a
successful manner. When you make a failure, it is because you have not
asked for enough; keep on, and a larger thing then you were seeking
will certainly come to you. Remember
this. You will not fail because you lack the necessary talent to do
what
you wish to do. If you go on as directed, you will develop all the
talent
that is necessary to the doing of your work.
It is not within the scope of this eBook to deal with the science of
cultivating talent; but it is as certain and simple as the process of
becoming rich.
However, do not hesitate or waver for fear that when you come to any
certain place you will fail for lack of ability; keep right on, and
when you come to that place, the ability will be furnished to you. The
same source of Ability which enabled the untaught Lincoln to do the
greatest work in government ever accomplished by a single man is open
to you; you may draw upon all the mind there is for wisdom to use in
meeting the responsibilities which are laid upon you. Go on in full
faith.
Study the teachings within this eBook. Use the principles within. Set
yourself Goals. Make your Blueprints. Program
your Subconscious Mind
Make the teachings your constant companion until you have mastered all
the
ideas contained in it. Absorb the knowledge of the masters. While you
are
getting firmly established in this faith, you will do well to give up
most
recreations and pleasure; and to stay away from places where ideas
conflicting
with these are advanced in lectures or sermons. Do not read pessimistic
or
conflicting literature, or get into arguments upon the matter. Do very
little
reading, outside of the writers mentioned within. Spend most of your
leisure
time in contemplating your vision, and in cultivating gratitude with
the
Universal Consciousness, and in using the principles within this eBook.
It contains all you need to know of the science of becoming WEALTHY and
RICH; and
you will find all the essentials summed up in the following chapter.
