Thank you for visiting my site, I assume that you are here to read the wonderful book 'The Science Of Getting Rich' written in about 1910 by Wallace D Wattles. The book is based on Hindu philosophy but it incorporates also Christian teachings, in fact the back bone of this book is found in all the religions and is known now as the 'Law Of Attraction' This is the book that inspired Rhonda Byrne to make the docu-film 'The Secret' and is the book that helped Bob Proctor become a multi millionaire. The 'Law of Attraction' is said to be God at work and quatum physics is now pointing to this 'Law' as fact. Einstein said E=MC2, everything in the universe is energy. The most important law of energy is that 'Like attracts Like'. Thought is energy and by thinking we change the freqency of our vibration and through harmonious resonance we attract by the medium of the electron the things we want as we become in 'Frequency' with them. I shall talk in greater detail about the science and history of this great topic but first I will leave you to read and re read the following book. It is fantastic. Below is the preface by Wallace D Wattles and the chapter listings. To the left of the page you will find links to each of the chapters themselves. Enjoy
PREFACE
This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise
upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.
It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, ever, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.
The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson.
The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
In writing this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment; it works. If you wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at, read the writings of the authors mentioned above; and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, read this book and do exactly as it tells you to do.
