Success Notes From The Author

The result is that he has a satisfied clientele instead of a dissatisfied one; that instead of having to dodge around the corner when he sees a former customer approaching, he goes up to meet him knowing that he will receive a hearty welcome and probably be given information which will help him make other sales.

The business man or woman who uses this Law can go to bed at night with their mind free from the fear that they may wake up in the morning and find them selves a pauper because their investments have proven to be bad or that some confidential clerk has absconded with their wealth.

The person who uses this Law to obtain Happiness or any other ideal will find that they have not been chasing an ignus fatus which disappears just as they think they have obtained it. It is impossible for one working under any other Law to take away from us what we have gained under the Law of Harmonious
Attraction, for this is the strongest and most powerful Law in the Universe; while those working under this Law will never want to take it away from us.

The Law of Harmonious Attraction and other Laws referred to in this book, are not new Laws, and the Author claims nothing for their discovery; they have existed throughout all time and have been used unconsciously to a greater or less extent throughout all the ages. The only claim the Author makes is for their revival and their conscious application by mankind along all lines, and the new application of them which he teaches.

The Author would teach the same common sense application of these Laws to the energy which creates things that the world uses in the handling of these things after they are created. Thus when one leaves his home he locks the doors and fastens the windows in order to prevent intruders from gaining entrance and
stealing his valuables, but in his thought world he leaves the doors and windows open to all the thieves, tramps and vagabonds of the destructive thought currents.

Man should learn to lock the doors and windows of his thought world against the thieves and vagabonds vicious thoughts of all kinds of that plane by forming the fixed habit of displacing them by constructive and harmonious thinking. To the thousands of hungry souls that have battled long enough with the world under
the Law of Force and who are ready to learn the larger Truth of the Law of Harmonious Attraction, is this book dedicated.

All such will read and re-read it hundreds of times, get into the vibrations from which it was written and receive their own message of Harmony direct from the one great Source. Those who have not been beaten to earth again and again by the reaction of the Law of Force on their own lives and who are not ready for the
great Truths contained herein will go on under their old Law, setting more and more destructive causes in motion until they too cry out for mercy and say, Oh, God! Why hast thou forsaken me. Sometime they too will learn the lesson that no one can save us from our own Laws but ourselves.

Foreword

Many books and treatises have been written on the subject of Success and the methods to be used in obtaining it. These works have been the honest statements of their authors who have used and found them successful. The student, in attempting to apply them, has usually been successful for a while but
the day invariably came when he or she found that something was lacking, and the same methods which formerly brought success failed them in their need. In the business world it has always been considered that the salesmen who could sell a customer something he did not want was the best salesman. Men are
taught Business Psychology, which consists in controlling the other fellows mind through the power of Mental suggestion and making him do what the salesman wants. The world has not realized that the Law of Force was the controlling factor in these methods and that we can only retain a thing under the same Law by which it is obtained.

To be successful in anything one must be able to retain as well as obtain it; they must also be able to obtain it when they want it, where they want it, and be able to retain it as long as they want it. It is obvious then that when we obtain anything under the Law of Force we must be prepared to exert our Force all the time to a greater degree than can anyone else in order to be able to obtain what we want, when and where we want it, and to retain it as long as we want it.

Few men or women, that is few in comparison with the entire population of the world, are able to maintain this Law of Force against all-comers for any great length of time, and so we have failure after failure. Some are able to maintain it for only a few months, others for several years, while those who are able to
maintain it for a lifetime against all-comers usually do so through making a sort of truce or combination Trust with others of their kind. In this book is taught the true Law of Success, which is the Law of Harmonious Attraction. Under this Law things come to us because they want to come and not because we make them come; they remain with us because they want to do so. Instead of working to control the other fellow we learn to control ourselves and become so strong, powerful and harmonious in our attractive power that the things we want will want us so much that they cannot remain away. The salesman who uses this Law finds that he is led to those who want to buy his goods, instead of to those whom he has to force into buying.

————————————————————————

CHAPTER 1
What is success?

To be successful in anything is to have the ability and power to do the thing we want to do when and where we want to do it, or to have what we want, when we want it and as long as we want it. Success is a thing which we can build for just as surely and scientifically as the architect plans and builds the skyscraper or the engineer the wonderful tunnels and bridges of modern times.

The Laws which make for success are just as natural although less generally understood as are the laws which the architect and engineer use in their work. A New York paper, in a recent editorial on Declaring War on Poverty, among other things said, Why then, does not the war begin?

There is no reason save the lack of organization for such a crusade. Then men who want to abolish poverty, who know that it can be abolished and are able to abolish it, have not yet found a common standard around which to recruit their forces.

No, and they never will find a common standard until they learn the great truth that everything begins and ends in consciousness in the thought world, the imagination, for that is where man does all his imaging and that until the individual gets rid of a poverty consciousness, a poverty image, he will never be free permanently from a poverty environment. Within each life lies the causes of
whatever enters into it.

Man is building his own world every moment of his life. He creates from within the energy which attracts from without. The thoughts he thinks are his own private property and they generate the power with which he builds from within and attracts from without. Like builds like and like attracts like. Man must first
have castles in the air before he can have castles on the ground.

It is true that the man or woman who is kept busy at good wages and given a pleasant and comfortable environment has the external things and conditions which will help them create a consciousness or image of abundance, but until they have established the fixed habit of thinking constructively, they will not
continue to stay out of a poverty-stricken environment indefinitely.

Was the giving of a pleasant and comfortable environment to man and providing him with continuous employment an insurance against poverty the solution would be simple, easy and sure of quick accomplishment. But we know that such a remedy has never effected a permanent cure; that something more than employment and environment is necessary.

We know many men and women who have started out in life with everything their hearts could wish in both of these things, but the day came when their employment was gone and their environment poverty stricken. What was it they lacked? What is that something more which is so necessary to the peace, happiness and success of man? We have called it bad luck, or rather the want of good luck heretofore, but it is neither. In the 9 past we have been of the belief that success along any line was largely a matter of chance, or luck, but we know better today. We know that there is no such thing as either chance or luck, good or bad, in the universe.

Good luck is simply the effect of constructive and harmonious causes we have unconsciously set in motion sometime previous to its occurrence, while bad luck is the effect of destructive and inharmonious causes we have just as unconsciously set in motion and which we have not yet learned how to antidote
or displace.

Today we know that success is the consciousness of the abundance of supply and the recognition of our oneness with it. We may believe in the truth of this but until we know it beyond any question of a doubt it is impossible to materialize the belief at all times and under all circumstances. We know that the things we have called luck, accident, chance, etc., simply seem so on the surface on the external side of life because we have only looked for their causes on the objective side; but when we look back of the external and go deeply into the energy which produced them we learn that all these so-called accidents, chance, luck, are the natural effects of natural Laws; that these Laws are as simple and easily understood as is the law that one and one makes two.

Before a spade is stuck into the ground in excavating for one of our immense skyscrapers the building has been entirely finished, even to the last coat of paint on the walls, in the consciousness the thought world, the imagination of the architect. Before even one screw, nut or bolt was made for the engines which
generate the power on our ocean greyhounds the entire engine was completed in the consciousness the thought world, the imagination of the engineer who drafted the plans.

Both architect and engineer built castles in the air first, before their air castles could be materialized in objective form. The engine which generates the steam does not know for what purpose the energy is to be used, and the masses have no greater knowledge of the use to which they will put the energy they create
than does the engine; they work as unconsciously and as ignorantly of the effects of the energy they generate as does the engine. Man, however, can become a conscious creator while the engine cannot, and in the consciousness or knowledge of this power does man have the advantage.

The Creative Power of the Universe

When he neglects to develop or does not use his power, the effect is as disastrous to him as to the engine, for when the engine lies idle any length of time it rusts, becomes useless and fit only for the scrap pile. So with man, for when he fails to use his faculties and power they become atrophied from disuse and he too soon rusts out and becomes only fit for the scrap pile. On the other
hand when man does develop and use his power the effect becomes more beneficial to him than to the engine. Man is an individual creator; he not only creates his body but he also creates his environment.

MAN POSSESSES WITHIN HIMSELF ALL THE CREATIVE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE.

This is a most stupendous statement, one which the masses cannot understand nor comprehend fully in their present state of consciousness, but each life may develop itself to where it not only understands but knows this truth. The only difference between persons is in the amount of this creative power each life expresses harmoniously. There is absolutely nothing we have ever had in the past, have now, or ever will have, but what we have created for ourselves.

Most of us have done the larger part of our work of creating unconsciously and ignorantly, and we have not stopped to see, study, and understand the relationship between the use we made of this energy and the things it has created for us. It has been so much easier to blame the disastrous effects to chance, accident, or luck. On the objective plane we have learned that a sharp knife, drawn across the hand, cuts it; but what we have not yet learned is that when we think vicious thoughts of any kind fear, worry, anger, hatred, resentment, resistance, impatience, intolerance, condemnation, criticism, envy, jealousy, etc. such thoughts generate an energy which causes us to relate with the things on the objective plane, both in the physical body and its environment,
that we do not want.

It is this relationship of effect to cause which we must learn before we can begin to permanently abolish poverty or anything else we do not want. Now do not understand that it is impossible to abolish poverty temporarily, or even for a lifetime in some lives, without either a knowledge or application of this truth, for such is not the case. Some few lives few as compared with the multitude of persons living at any time may concentrate their entire creative power on the subject of money and amass great wealth and hold it too during their life in any incarnation and still think all these vicious thoughts and manifest them objectively, but Be not deceived, for God the great Universal Law is not mocked, and whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap, and in the incarnations yet to come for such a life will it reap the effects of the energy it has created, either in poverty, sickness, or misery of some kind.

The object of these lessons is to teach how to create and attract success to us permanently not temporarily; how to get what we want, get it when we want it, and keep it as long as we want it. When we know this Law, and it becomes such a fixed habit in our lives that we live it as unconsciously as we are now living, live it because we have developed such a consciousness that we do not know how to live any other way, there will be no need for declaring war on poverty, disease, or misery, for we will then cease to generate the energy which relates us with these things.

Every moment of our lives, with every breath we draw, we are creating something. There has never been a second of time, all along down the pages past and gone, in which we have not created something for ourselves. We are today, in body and environment, the effects of these creations of our past. We want to know this now. We also want to know that we will continue to create
ourselves and our environment all down the future ages yet to come, not only here in this world but also in all the worlds through 11 which we have yet to evolve in our return to our Source. With this understanding thoroughly fixed in our consciousness let us learn how we may create consciously for success, and attract it to us under such Laws as will make it permanent in our lives.

Chapter 2

Man may be classified in a general way as being composed of five entirely different states of consciousness, degrees of unfoldment, or conditions of development, viz: Instinct, Intellect, Inspiration, Intuition, and Revelation. Bear in mind, however, that while the Instinct is a manifestation of the Physical plane, the Intellect of the Mental, the Inspiration of the Soul, the Intuitional and Revelational of the Spiritual, all these states of consciousness are just as much spiritual as is the latter, the difference being that they do not express as much.

It is like ice, water, clouds and the invisible vapor, they are all one and the same but differ in their expression. Most persons are over-developed in one of these states of consciousness and under-developed in the others, and that is why it is so hard for them to understand the other states.

Few persons are so equally developed in all of them as to be able to impart their knowledge of the Inspirational, Intuitional and Revelational planes in such a way as may be understood by those manifesting only on the planes of Instinct and Intellect. On the Physical plane of consciousness man expresses what is called instinct. This is the cell consciousness referred to more at length in my lectures on How we Create Ourselves, How to Give Treatments, and others.

This cell consciousness which is really the intelligence in the cells of the physical body and in the atoms of the environment is the only consciousness which is under the direction and control of the intellect and is therefore in reality the only sub-conscious mind there is, for the egos mind is never subject to the conscious mind or intellect. In the creating, destroying, re-creating and re-destroying of our bodies which process is going on continuously every moment of our lives, awake or asleep we attract to us atoms which will express the same degree of intelligence as those which harmonize with the energy we are momentarily creating by the thoughts we are thinking.

As long as we remain wholly on the Physical plane of consciousness this process goes on under the Law of Instinct both as to our bodies and our environment. The natural Law of this plane of Instinct is an unconscious recognition an automatic manifestation of our oneness with all life, and so we do not have lack or poverty in our bodies or environment. This is best illustrated in what we call the uncivilized tribes which used to predominate in the world, some of which are still in existence, although few remain in their former purely Physical or Instinctive state of consciousness.

They did not work and did not need to for the Law of their lives led them to be born into an environment where Nature furnished them with sufficient to eat and wear without work. Those who continued to live entirely in the physical side of their lives became over-developed in it, were unable to understand or appreciate any of the other states of consciousness and so continued to re-embody in a purely physical environment. We only need to study all kinds of people all over the world to be convinced of this truth. As man went on in his evolutionary growth and unfoldment he began to use his physical brain to think thoughts, to imagine or image things and in this way he began to grow and develop his 13 intellect.

The more intellectual he grew, or as we call it the more civilized he became, the less instinctive he was, because, unconsciously to him, his intellect his thoughts dominated and controlled his instinct the intelligence or mind of the cells of his body and environment and they, obeying his intellect, were deprived of their own initiative and the harmonious relationship which was natural to them, and he consequently attracted to his body and environment only such atoms as vibrated harmoniously with the thoughts he generated with the new faculty his intellect.

To know the truth of this we only need to go back to the native American Indian and the frontiersman who, living largely in the instinctive side of their consciousness, could follow the trail of man or beast through pathless forests and could tell all about the person or animal they were following; when one who had developed his intellect and was living in that side of his life could not see
anything to indicate the trail or that the forest had ever been penetrated before. Some few men learned to combine their instinct and intellect and use the latter in further developing the former, and in all such cases they preserved their union their oneness with the Universal Life and knew no lack either in their body or environment. The masses, however, unconsciously used their intellect to
separate them from the One-Life, through the thoughts they generated and allowed to persist.

They related in their thought world with the currents where lack, disease, fear, worry, anger, hatred, envy, jealousy, strife, resentment, resistance, impatience, intolerance, condemnation, criticism, and kindred thoughts found their home, and the more often they related with these currents the more did they attract to themselves, both in body and environment, the atoms which would make another inharmonious physical home where these conditions could manifest in material form.

As the result of the over-development of the intellect and the under-development of the other faculties we find men who are living in emaciated physical bodies, devoid of all sense of instinct, inspiration, intuition, and revelation, but with an intellect that in its reason and logic is tremendous, but entirely incapable of appreciating the instinct of the physical man, the inspiration of the dreamer, the intuition of the mystic, or the wonderful revelations which comes to one who harmoniously combined and develops all of these faculties.

Such persons have not yet learned that the true function of logic is to teach us the constructive use of our reason or intellectual powers along harmonious lines. These two states of consciousness, the Physical and Mental, deal solely with the states which have their initiative or origin in the physical body. When the physical body is destroyed by death these two states of consciousness cease to manifest; that is the Mental state ceases to manifest as soon as death ensues, and the Physical state the intelligence in the cells of the body, the sub-conscious mind at once goes to work to disintegrate the body and upon the completion of this ceases to manifest in physical form.

These two states of consciousness must have the objective body through which to manifest, otherwise their expression here on the material plane is impossible. The other states of consciousness the Soul or Inspirational, the Spiritual or Intuitional and Revelational can manifest as well outside of the physical body as through it. It is true that in order for us to perceive the effects of their
manifestations with our physical senses they must have a physical body of some kind through which to manifest, but they are separate and distinct from it and manifest through it rather than in it.

These states of consciousness are not under the dominion nor control of the Physical or Mental minds, neither do they in turn control the mentality in any way. The Physical mind the cell consciousness or sub-conscious mind is the only mind or intelligence which is under the control of the Mental mind or Intellect. The term cell consciousness, as used here, includes not only the intelligence in the atoms or cells of the physical body but also that in the atoms of which the environmental is composed. These are all under the control and domination of the Intellect or
Mental mind.

While it is true that the Soul and Spiritual minds or states of consciousness are not in any way under the control of the Intellect, yet the latter can make conditions both in the physical body through which it is expressing and in the environment through which the Soul and Spiritual states of consciousness may express, and this is one of the true and constructive functions of the Intellect.

Through the Soul state of consciousness we derive all of our great wonderful inspirations which increase our vibrations and when this is accomplished under the intelligent direction of our intellect we attract to us the more harmonious and constructive material with which we rebuild our physical bodies and their environment.

Our Intellect should direct us to such places where we will get this inspiration. We may obtain it in many different ways; through association with those persons who already developed it, through hearing lectures, reading books, visiting art galleries, going to theatres which produce plays that inspire, through viewing a beautiful sunset, through thinking of the wonderful power manifested by Nature in the raising of the lofty, snow clad peaks of the Rocky Mountains, or the never ending flow and ebb of the tides at the seashore, through the gigantic waves that the monster Ocean Liners ride so easily, and through the wonderful mechanism of the human body.

All these inspire us with the wonder and greatness of existence, and when our Intellect permits us to revel in their inspiration it raises our vibrations and makes us just that much stronger and more powerful. But when our Intellect refuses to allow us to revel in the inspiration which these and other wonderful things give us, when it belittles the creative power of the God-consciousness which manifests in all things, including man, when it places any kind of a limitation upon mans possibilities, then the vibrations of our atoms are slowed down and we draw from the formless energy everywhere around us only such atoms as vibrate at this slower rate, and it is in these currents where lack of all kinds is to be found.

The Spiritual state of consciousness is the vibration through which our intuition and revelation manifests. This is the vibration in which we get the real, the genuine, true-blue hunches of life. This is also the plane of consciousness from which our imagination obtains it most constructive and harmonious images. The Imagination is a faculty which may be used by all of these different states of consciousness. Through its use we create everything we have both in body and environment, and the plane or state of consciousness from which we use it determines the kind and quality of the thing created.

This 15 most wonderful statement must be considered carefully in order to understand its stupendous import. Many times people mistake an impression for an intuition and when the result proves different from what they expected they blame it on their intuition, when, as a matter of fact, they themselves were to blame for not being able to differentiate between their impression and intuition.

Intuitions never have their origin from anything on the objective plane, they always come from within, and are the result of our having, momentarily only perhaps, raised our physical vibrations to a point where this state of consciousness can manifest through the physical brain. Many persons do this frequently and unconsciously; they do not know how they do it and often do not know that they have done it, and then their Intellect steps in and tells them that such a thought was all foolishness and so they pay no attention to it.

Afterward they frequently see their mistake and then they are wont to say Had my foresight only been as good as my hindsight, etc. When we touch this state of consciousness and know it, and then follow the leading of our intuition we never go astray, for it is our highest state of consciousness trying to manifest through us and by continually listening to and following its instructions we develop it more and more.

Our Intellect was given us for the purpose of taking our intuitions and revelations and working them out intelligently in material form on the physical plane. Can we imagine any more insane intuition, before it was materialized, than the reproduction of the human voice by machinery after the speaker is dead?

Had not Edison by the intelligent use of his intellect worked out this dream into material form the phonograph would still be unknown. Without the Intellect to do this our intuitions and revelations would be as valueless to us on the physical plane as is an automobile without a chauffeur.

The motor car, with an intelligent driver, can be made a most useful thing both for business and pleasure, and so with our inspirations, intuitions and revelations. That is why we should develop the Intellect, but it should be done intelligently and in a way that will enable us to use all of our faculties, Instinct, Inspiration, Intuition, and Revelation, as well as Mental, and not only some one or two of them.

Impressions have their origin solely in the objective side of life. They come as the result of the things we have learned on the objective plane through our physical senses. We may have learned them years ago, and perhaps forgotten, but they are stored up in the Intellect the Mental mind and come to us from that source. Having their origin in the objective world it depends on the basis or foundation on which they were originally built as to their value. Impressions are never safe to follow blindly because of the difficulty in determining their origin. It is interesting and instructive, sometimes, to follow them and see where they lead us. Many times this is the only way by which we learn to differentiate between them and our intuition.

Chapter 3

We all possess within us the power to unfold and develop, to the greatest perfection, every state of consciousness; in fact most of mankind manifest them all in some degree. We have persons who are over-developed in some one of these different states and underdeveloped in the others; these find it difficult to express rationally, or understand anything which is not directly related to or
connected with their own particular state of consciousness or unfoldment.

Thus those who live continuously in the Inspirational, Intuitional or Revelational states these are more generally known as the emotional states to the exclusion of the Instinctive and Intellectual states, become so abnormal to the majority of mankind that they are called insane.

They are the Col. Mulberry Sellers of the financial world, having great, wonderful inspiration and oft-times intuition and revelation as well, but lacking the intellectual development which would enable them to materialize their wonderful visions in a practical way on the objective plane. On the other hand we have people who are over-developed intellectually; their intellect has made them as hard as flint; they are what the world calls practical men; their intellect is always in absolute control of every vibration; they would not permit of an increased heart beat nor allow themselves to be thrilled with an inspiration for anything; they pride themselves upon having absolute control of their emotions and would not allow any such a weakness to manifest in their lives; An emotional nature is all right for women and children, they say, but not for a man with red blood in his veins.

Such lives have yet to learn that it is not the emotional natures which are destructive any more than the mental, but it is the use to which we put such natures, such states of consciousness, which makes them constructive and successful or destructive and unsuccessful. The successful business man is one who has some development of his inspirational and intuitional faculties but who
guides and directs (instead of repressing) their manifestations with an intelligent application of his intellect. When we live in any one of these states of consciousness to the exclusion of the others we can only relate with the things which are in its currents.

We obtain such things under the Laws which prevail and control in that state of consciousness, and we can only retain them under the same Laws. But when we develop ourselves and learn to express in all of these states of consciousness, joining them all together in one harmonious expression, we learn to get what we want, get it when we want it, and keep it as long as we want it. The Law under which we work in the Physical and Mental states of consciousness is the Law of Force. On the Physical plane; this Law is expressed purely as brute force; whoever is the strongest, physically, is the most successful in this state of consciousness whether he be man or animal.

On the Mental plane the expression of the Law of Force is more refined. In this state of consciousness men make others do their bidding through the developing and controlling of physical force by the intellect. The prize fighter or wrestler who has only physical strength stands no show whatever with the man who, even though of less physical strength, has developed his intellect and learned how to unite it harmoniously with his physical; while the machine the product of mans intellect can do the work of a hundred physical men and do it far better.

In the world of business and finance the same truth prevails, and the man who has the sharpest and most developed intellect is the one man who has the greatest force in the purely intellectual state of consciousness. The Law which prevails in the Soul and Spiritual states of consciousness is the Law of Harmonious Attraction, the Law of Love. This is a most wonderful Law although
the words that symbolize it seem so simple. They are simple to us only because we have seldom or never seen beneath their purely intellectual interpretation. When we open ourselves to the inspiration of this Law of Harmonious Attraction and begin to study its operation by Nature we see that it is really the only Law which Nature, or God, uses throughout the universe.

The earth is held to its orbit in its journey around the sun through this wonderful Law of Harmonious Attraction. The sun throws out its great, beautiful love nature into space and entwines its arms around old Mother Earth, bringing life and vitality with every vibration, while the earth nestles and cuddles in the arms of the sun, evolving and developing the life within and upon it in this loving embrace. The moon in its orbit around the earth is held under this same Law of Harmonious Attraction, and all mankind together with the things in all other kingdoms are held in the arms of old Mother Earth under this same Law of Love or Harmonious Attraction.

The seed when planted in the ground, under the same Law of Harmonious Attraction, sends its tiny rootlet down into the earth in order that it may be sure of a permanent supply of moisture, and its stem peeps out from under the clods, attracted there from the negative forces which surround it, in order to obtain the sunshine and rains and dews which are so necessary to its life and development. Everywhere we look we can see some manifestation of this Law of Harmonious Attraction in Nature.

Chapter 4

The world has not had held before it many shining examples of success, financial or otherwise, by those who have obtained it under this Law of Harmonious Attraction. The success achieved by man has been largely the result of the use of the Law of Force, (and that is why it has not been permanent in most cases), through the intellectual and instinctive states of consciousness, and the world has therefore believed that the Law of Force was the real law of success.

The masses are like a lot of sheep and borrow their behavior from the few. In the matter of getting money they are like chickens about to be fed. A pan of food is placed in the center of the chickenyard and the chickens come running toward it from all directions; the half dozen which reach it first grab something and start off on a run; the rest of the chickens, instead of going to the pan where the source of supply is and where there is an abundance of the food they want, run pell-mell, helter-skelter after the few chickens that have carried away with them only a small portion of the abundance of supply.

The masses, like the chickens, instead of going to the source of the abundance of supply and creating something for themselves from the formless energy, spend their time running after the few who have related with abundance and who have money, and in devising schemes to relieve them of it, never once realizing that people and things are only instruments in the hands of God the great Universal Law to give to us just what we have created for ourselves and that it is impossible for them to give us anything else. We see the truth of this manifested many times when we try to help others but cannot do so.

Something always intervenes and prevents it. The methods we use do not affect out ability to obtain wealth or success temporarily but they do affect our ability to retain them permanently. The world has not yet come into a realization that everywhere around us in this vacant space, as we call it, there is a live, vital, seething mass of energy, far more vital and powerful than anything man has yet harnessed in material form, and to which he may go and draw from it an eternal abundance of everything he wants.

While it is true this vital substance is invisible to the physical sight yet it is none the less true that it exists, just as the electric fan revolving at a speed so rapid we cannot see it, yet when the current is shut off and the vibrations of the fan lowered it begins to materialize and we can see it then with our physical eyes. So with this invisible substance, when we relate with it constantly and persistently in our consciousness in accordance with the image we have built and hold in our imagination we set up a strong, powerful vibration with our thoughts, and under the Law of Harmonious Attraction the atoms of this invisible substance with which we relate in our thought world begin to lower their vibrations and finally become materialized in form around us.

There is only one substance in the universe, and it is from this one substance that everything which we have ever materialized in form on the objective plane has been derived. This once substance may be differentiated into the myriads of material things we have had in the past, have now, or which we may create in the future, the differentiation being occasioned by the difference in the rate at which the atoms, composing the material form, vibrate.

When we understand this truth and use our Intuition to create as limitless a vision as we can of the thing we want, our Inspiration to increase our own bodily vibrations and relate us with the more rapid vibrating currents on the unseen side of life, and our Intellect to hold fast to this vision and inspiration, will have then effected a combination which, with these faculties working together in perfect harmony, will be able to reach out into the formless energy and attract the gold of the universe to us and differentiate it into form any time we may desire. Now do not misunderstand me and get the idea that I either believe or teach that in our present state of consciousness it would be possible for any of us to sit with folded hands, with a blank, negative state of consciousness, and have a few million dollars drop into our laps from out of the blue sky.

What I do mean is this: That through the operation of this Law of Harmonious Attraction we can make ourselves so full of the attractive power that over perfectly normal lines of transference on the objective plane, and in perfectly legitimate ways, old lines of transference will be increased, new ones opened up, and our earning capacity be increased way beyond what we have heretofore
thought possible, and all this because people will want and love to do business with us rather than with those who try to make them through the use of the inharmonious Law of Force.

Under the Law of Force we are never sure of being able to retain what we do get. There is always the fear that we may make some unsafe investment, or that we will have something stolen from us, or that someone stronger and more powerful than we, or someone sharper, smarter, and less honest than we are will take it away from us, or that we will lose it in some way, or that whatever we do will be the wrong thing to do instead of the right. This fear is well founded too, because we can only retain a thing under the same Law we obtained it. When we live under the Law of Force we always find someone, sometime and somewhere, who is able to use this Law more effectively than we can, and what we have obtained under it begins to leave us.

A Wall Street man once came to me with this story: He wanted to buy a property in New York. The price and terms had been sa
