The Law of Attraction by way of The Science of Getting Rich

Master the law of attraction, what if you could master it?  Did you know The Science of Getting Rich tells you exactly how to attain mastery?  What would mastery mean to you? Can you see yourself as master? Can you step into that vision and feel it? Your beautiful home, the ones you love around, and a knowing that you can advance in the direction of your dreams and overcome anything that might seem to be in the way. You might never have read the Bible but somewhere you heard the words of Jesus: “I tell you with certainty, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ if he doesn’t doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” And you think that is the place I am in, I do not doubt in my heart and any mountains or problems that seem like mountains move out of my way. You are the master of the law of attraction.

The Science of Getting Rich

In 1910 a rather strange man named Wallace D. Wattles wrote what has become a classic success book: The Science of Getting Rich. This book while always getting a little attention through the years has become hugely popular again since the release of The Secret movie. Rhonda Byrne, the creator of the movie has said that The Science of Getting Rich was a major factor in the movie.

The Science of Getting Rich doesn’t use the words: “law of attraction” anywhere in it – yet in reading the book it is unmistakable that the law of attraction is what it is all about. Hold the vision of the thing you want in the invisible thinking substance that makes up the universe. Profound for 1910, today people discussing the law begin to talk about Physics and discoveries in quantum mechanics. We were perhaps better off with the simpler language which is part of the charm of Wattles book.

Master The Law of Attraction

Hold the vision, see the vision and step into it, experience it. At some point you will learn what to do and you must act. Wattles says: “By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it.” A lot of people leave out the discussion of the action part when talking about the law of attraction. It is nice to think that all you have to do is dream, and your dreams will see reality. The idea of action says you might have to work at it a little bit too.

Yet it is this very “action” that activates the law of attraction and this is a key part of what wattles focuses on in The Science of Getting Rich. It’s all there in that book, laying in the open, and not “Secret” since 1910. On the previously linked website you will find not only a free E-book but also a free audio book of The Science of Getting Rich. We believe it is one of the best presentations of the book available on the web. You can also subscribe to the podcast dealing with the Science of Getting Rich, The Law of Attraction, Think and Grow Rich, As A Man Thinketh, and many other topics.

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.

–Wallace D. Wattles

“The Science of Getting Rich” calls on you to form the vision of the things you want. It also has a call to action in the place and job you are in so that you more than fill your present place. You are not doing this to please your employer, although it may, you are doing it to advance yourself. You are doing it because your future is so compelling (because of your visioning) that you inject energy, purpose, and faith into the moment you are in. Those who work with you and those who come in contact with you will feel this radiance and sense of increase and will be attracted to you. Always remember: vision and action.

Visualize

It is necessary to visualize: according to “The Science of Getting Rich,” this holding of your vision in the “Thinking Substance” will cause your desires to form. Holding your vision should be a big part of your work in leisure hours, contemplating your vision and firmly fix it in memory. See the picture of your future in your mind’s eye: some find it helpful to make a vision board with pictures of the objects of their intentions and desires. While this can help but is not necessary do it if it serves you but don’t get hung up on it. The thing to realize is the visioning process doesn’t end with pictures, it encompasses all senses. If one of your goals is a new car, can you hear the sound of the door closing as you climb in? Notice the new car smell, can you see yourself in the car? Now hear the key slide into the ignition and hear the motor start, feel how it feels to accelerate, how it handles on the road. Wattles says in chapter 12:

In saying that you must hold your vision while you are doing each act, however trivial or commonplace, I do not mean to say that it is necessary at all times to see the vision distinctly to its smallest details. It should be the work of your leisure hours to use your imagination on the details of your vision, and to contemplate them until they are firmly fixed upon memory. If you wish speedy results, spend practically all your spare time in this practice.

Do this kind of visualization for all the parts of your new life, all the parts of your life of riches. The detail is necessary: nurture your vision that you become so enthused about its promise that the thought of it will “call forth the strongest energies of your whole being.” In your leisure create, form, and nurture the vision. In your working time you need only refer to these mental pictures to stimulate your faith, purpose, and actions. In your working time you cannot hold the detail or concentration as when you are at leisure but you can allow thoughts of the vision to bubble up to create a sense of advancement and power in you. This will create an enthusiasm in you that will be attractive to people you come in contact with.

“Hold the faith and purpose of increase,” don’t allow your thoughts to slide back on circumstance or on anything but your vision, your compelling future. If contrary thoughts creep in you must replace them with thoughts of your future. Some find it helpful to use words like: “cancel, cancel” as many times as necessary to cancel those thoughts. Then bring your focus back again with the vision that you have established. It is necessary to keep your mind in the NOW.

Action

The vision thus formed and nurtured, and your mind trained on the now, will drive your actions; it will stimulate you to your best. But this is only the beginning. Out of the “Thinking Substance” which “permeates” the universe, which makes up everything will come ideas and plans. These will bubble into your consciousness and lead you to specific actions that will move you to the fulfillment of your vision. Recall the quote we began with: “By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.” These ideas and plans are the specific actions for you’re to receive the thing that is brought to you. Again from chapter 12 of “The Science of Getting Rich:”

Whatever your action is to be, it is evident that you must act NOW. You cannot act in the past, and it is essential to the clearness of your mental vision that you dismiss the past from your mind. You cannot act in the future, for the future is not here yet. And you cannot tell how you will want to act in any future contingency until that contingency has arrived. Because you are not in the right business, or the right environment now, do not think that you must postpone action until you get into the right business or environment. And do not spend time in the present taking thought as to the best course in possible future emergencies; have faith in your ability to meet any emergency when it arrives. If you act in the present with your mind on the future, your present action will be with a divided mind, and will not be effective. Put your whole mind into present action.

…

Do not give your creative impulse to Original Substance, and then sit down and wait for results; if you do, you will never get them. Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now. If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin now. And your action, whatever it is, must most likely be in your present business or employment, and must be upon the persons and things in your present environment.

Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.

As you begin to live life this way you will find new energy and joy as the visions, these expressions of your soul form first into your actions and then into physical reality.

“The Science of Getting Rich” is a call to action. Actions of the soul and so actions that are natural and a part of you. Work yes, but work that is of you, work that brings you to your dreams and not just work done for someone else; it is the kind of work that will bring you joy. In the words of the Psalmist:

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Psalm 90: 16-17

These things that you want, the things that “The Science of Getting Rich” tells you to visualize about, these things may be things that you haven’t believed possible for you. When, after nurturing your vision you see yourself in those places with those things you want you will know they are right for you. The part you were missing is the action steps to receive them. And now that you know those things are right for you – you will also come to know that the plan will present itself. Sometimes it is a progressive realization of the goals and sometimes it comes as if by magic. Keep the vision, keep the faith. Make the decision that this future is right for you. Then the actions you take will be inspired, empowered, and the actions will be taken toward a hope and a future.

There’s your call to action, act and create the vision, act and nurture it, and act when the ideas come. In the words of Wayne Dyer, “you’ll see it when you believe it.”
