The Science of Getting Rich
Wallace Wattles
Timeless wisdom and a
practical, step-by-step
prosperity program from a
forgotten 1910 classic
THERE IS A THINKING STUFF FROM WHICH ALL THINGS ARE MADE , and which, in its original state,
permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
A person can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance
can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, a person must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. Otherwise he
cannot be in harmony with formless intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.
A person may come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively and
sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind of man with the
intelligence of substance, so that man’s thoughts are received by the formless. A person can remain upon
the creative plane only by uniting himself with the formless intelligence through a deep and continuous
feeling of gratitude.
A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to
become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the supreme
that all his desires are granted to him. The person who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in
contemplating his vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much
stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with
unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the
formless and the creative forces set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial
and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the person who follows
the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waver. What he wants will come to him through
the ways of established trade and commerce.
In order to receive his own when it is ready to come to him, a person must be in action in a way that
causes him to more than fill his present place. He must keep in mind the purpose to get rich through
realization of his mental image. And he must do, every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to
do each act in a successful manner. He must give to every person a use value in excess of the cash value he
receives, so that each transaction makes for more life, and he must hold the advancing thought so that
the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.
The men and women who practice the foregoing instructions will certainly get rich, and the riches
they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the
steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.
