Can you accept what’s in “The Science of Getting Rich” and just do it? That’s the advise in the preface, just do it, acquire wealth or the thing that you want and then analyze it later if you must. In the mean time keep your thoughts only on the prescribed method which puts the law of attraction into action:

1. Picture the thing you want in the formless substance. See it and make it real.
2. Know that it is yours and be thankful.
3. Maintain the vision, the knowing that it is yours, and do this in gratitude.
4. Be sensitive to your intuition and your thoughts. They may tell you to act in a certain way. Be sure to do so faithfully, gratefully, in certainty. This is the plan offered in “The Science of Getting Rich”.

Notice that action is required. Wattles repeatedly says in the book that you must act in faith on the vision. A way will be made for you to receive but it requires your participation.

Can you be thankful before you actually hold the riches in your hands?

Is there evidence that this process worked for anyone in a way that wasn’t just coincidence? Yes, there is: Conrad Hilton, in his biography, spoke of traveling around Texas, sometimes sleeping on park benches, with an old picture of the Waldorf Astoria. He looked at the picture often and saw it as his. Two years later he was owner of an old hotel in Dallas. But saw himself as owner of the famed Waldorf Astoria another property that he later put into the Hilton portfolio. Can you believe that big? Can you be thankful that it is already yours just by seeing the picture of it? Can you continue to do it through a stock market crash as Hilton did?

An old preacher once linked two verses together for me:

God … calleth those things which be not as though they were. (Romans 4:17)
Be you therefore followers (or imitators) of God, as dear children; (Ephesians 5:1)

Then he said do what God did. To imitate God because that’s what God invites us to do. That old preacher had never read Wattles book but they were saying the same thing, “call things that be not as though they were.” It’s a way to live that is new to most of us, but a way that will set you apart from those who choose to live life in the same old way.

Hold fast to the vision as Conrad Hilton did and act.
