A Review of The Science of Getting Rich - Wallace. D. Wattles

I had the opportunity to listen to a video recording of Wallace. D. Wattles' book -' The Science of Getting Rich - Your Master Key to Success'. Written in 1910 the language is a little antiquated and although spiritually radical for the time it bias by today's standards are a little Christian for my taste, I have to say both the video recording and the book are a powerful experience.

Wallace. D. Wattles

 Principles of the Book

• You must get rid of the last vestige of the old idea that there is a Deity whose will it is that you should be poor, or whose purposes may be served by keeping you in poverty.

Growing up in a nominally Christian society whose approach to money and abundance seems to be contradictory to say the least, Wallace.D.Wattles' idea here is very powerful. We all desire money as it is a measure of worth and value yet so many people (consciously or otherwise) appear to be caught in feelings of guilt or anger about money. Whether the individual is Christian, Atheist or of alternative spirituality that biblical idea relating to the love of money being the root of evil is evidently strong in western society, freeing oneself of it (the idea) is liberating.

• Give people more in use value than you take from them in cash value, then you are adding to the life of the world.

For me this is an extension of the Law of Reciprocity, if you wish to experience abundance cause others to experience abundance. Although many people still choose to 'scam' and 'spam' others in Digital Business there seems to be a growing modern understanding of this principle with entrepreneurs offering great value free, building powerful relationships on social media and finding ways to promote others above self.

• You must get rid of the thought of competition, you are to create not to compete...you do not have to cheat or take advantage. 

Wallace. D. Wattles over a century before his time articulated an experience that more and more taking hold now as a new consciousness and economy are birthing. The old dualistic ideas of competition right vs wrong, right vs left, good vs bad are gradually being replaced by visions of abundance that opens a new individual creative place for all, a place that doesn't exclude. This idea in practice is still very young but I predict it will become stronger and stronger. 

 Wallace. D. Wattles goes on to say that riches secured by competition are never satisfactory or permanent, they are yours today and another's tomorrow.

• Use you will on yourself and know exactly what you want, these goals will not come to fruition from vague unformed desires

In the Digital Economy (and many other places) there are many vague promises of success and riches which magically will happen over night that require no effort on your part, this in effect is a great lie,it is the struggle of the competitive plane to gain riches by power over other people. Bringing your radical unfolding potential in all areas of your life into fruition is not a fools paradise but a focused journey of work and self belief, for every efficient act is a success itself and when power goes into every act you can't fail.

  What I want for myself, I want for everybody
