For our first workshop, we will go straight to the central concept that Wally presents early and then returns to over and over throughout the book as he builds layer upon layer of understanding of his "science of getting rich" so that we might be able apply this "science" to our lives and also become rich, just as Wallace Wattles was able to do before his untimely death in 1911.
The core concept of "The Science of Getting Rich" is as follows:
THERE IS 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.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon Formless Substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
The very first step toward using "Thinking Stuff" to create wealth from "Formless Substance", according to Wally, is to "entertain a lively and sincere GRATITUDE" for all the many blessings we ALREADY HAVE!
Our first exercise toward "getting rich" then is to enter into a state of sincere and unqualified GRATITUDE for every good and right thing already in our lives. Here's a great way to do just that:
1. Quickly make a list of the major blessings in your life on a blank sheet of note paper.
2. Meditate for a moment on each blessing and put your mind into a state of utter gratitude and appreciation for those blessings.
3. Notice how few of these blessings required that you COMPETE for them.
4. Notice how many of them were the result of your own CREATIVE POWER or the CREATIVE POWER of others from which you derived a tremendous benefit.
For example, I am very grateful for my ability to sit down in front of a blank computer screen and use my keyboard, brain and fingers to create something from Formless Substance that at least a few people find valuable enough to read. Time is our only limited resource. To have someone invest their limited time in relationship with you is the ultimate gift one human being can ever give to another!
I didn't compete against anyone to win whatever level of skill I have as a writer. I created my writing abillity out of my vision that I want to be a writer. I executed that vision by spending as much time as possible writing and improving my writing skills. Today, I can sit down at any moment and write four or five pages on almost any subject without breaking a sweat. It isn't hard work and it isn't a sacrifice -- it is a wonderful blessing and I am grateful for all the creative advances mankind has made that make this very blog possible. Just imagine what Wally could have accomplished if he'd had access to the technology and the innovations which we can so easily access!
5. Now, keep that ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE throughout the rest of your day and in all your dealings with everyone in your life. Don't let anyone steal it from you simply because they are stuck in a state of negative attitude.
Let me know what you're most grateful for in your life and what sort of insights you gained or what challenges you found with this exercise!
