money　today。　Well；　one　thing　they　certainly　mean　is　that　if　we　
insist　upon　constantly　worrying　about　not　having　enough　
money；　or　if　we　habitually　worry　about　losing　the　money　we　do　
have；　then　we　are　absolutely　guaranteed　not　to　worry　in　vain。　


For　just　as　surely　as　Job　was　afflicted　by　his　many　maladies；　
so　too　shall　we　be　afflicted　by　the　lack　or　the　loss　of　money。　

To　take　a　more　contemporary　example；　let　us　again　
consider　the　tragic　case　of　〃poor　old　Mr。　Chapman。〃　As　you　
will　recall；　he　was　the　elderly　gentleman　who　never　spent　any　
of　his　hardearned　savings。　But　the　question　is；　〃Why　didn't　
he？〃　Most　likely　it　was　because　he　was　afraid　that　if　he　spent　
his　money；　he　would　bee　poor　and　hence　would　be　forced　
to　live　like　a　pauper。　The　irony　was；　however；　that　because　of　
his　fear；　he　lived　like　a　pauper　anyway！　Or；　to　be　more　biblical　
about　it；　〃The　thing　that　he　feared　most　came　to　visit　upon　
him。〃　

In　a　later　chapter　you　will　be　given　a　fuller　explanation　of　
the　paradox　of　why　we　attract　into　our　lives　the　very　things　we　
least　desire。　But　for　now；　suffice　it　to　say；　worrying　about　
money　is　always　extremely　counterproductive。　This　principle　
holds　true；　even　if　you　rationalize　your　worry　with　the　old　
platitude　that　you　are　〃just　saving　a　little　for　a　rainy　day。〃　

I　must　put　forward　one　other　caveat　at　this　time：　if　you　
really　want　to　significantly　increase　the　amount　of　money　you　
are　presently　earning；　the　first　thing　you　must　do　is　learn　to　
pay　substantially　less　attention　to　what　others　around　you　are　
saying　and　substantially　more　attention　to　what　that　〃quiet　
voice〃　that　speaks　within　you；　is　saying。　Put　more　prosaically：　
you　must　strive　to　bee　much　less　susceptible　to　influences　
outside　of　yourself　and　much　more　inclined　to　trust　the　
instincts　and　feelings　that　lie　within　you。　Let　me　elaborate。　

Most　people　who　fail　to　accumulate　enough　money　to　live　
in　the　style　they　choose　are　the　same　people　who　are　most　
easily　influenced　by　other　people's　opinions。　For　instance；　they　
are　often　the　people　who　let　the　writers　of　economic　doom　and　
gloomwhether　in　the　newspapers　or　on　news　broadcasts　do　
their　thinking　for　them。　But；　as　Napoleon　Hill　pointed　out　in　
his　great　book；　Think　and　Grow　Rich；　opinions　are　the　
cheapest　modities　on　earth。　In　fact；　almost　everyone　has　a　
flock　of　them　ready　to　be　foisted　upon　anyone　who　is　willing　to　


accept　them。　Therefore；　if　you　know　you　have　been　unduly　
influenced　in　the　past　by　other　people's　opinions；　make　up　
your　mind　right　nowbefore　you　read　any　furtherthat　from　
here　on　in；　you　are　going　to　heed　your　own　counsel；　while　
keeping　an　attentive　ear　open　for　God's　counsel。　Remember；　if　
you　do；　there　is　absolutely　no　reason　why　you　cannot　bee　
financially　successful　within　a　very　reasonable　period　of　time。　

Understanding　vs。　Memorization　

As　you　read　on　through　the　pages　in　this　book；　you　will　
develop　an　everincreasing　awareness　of　the　talents　and　
abilities　that　lie　deep　within　you。　You　should　realize；　that　with　
the　proper　instruction；　you　can　begin　using　these　undeveloped　
talents　to　attract　the　good　that　you　desire。　But　let　me　caution　
you　once　againno　amount　of　reading　or　memorizing　will　bring　
you　the　success　you　seek。　It　is　only　the　understanding　and　
application　of　the　ideas　in　this　book　that　will　make　the　
difference　for　you。　Therefore；　don't　be　in　any　hurry　to　finish　
the　book；　because　a　plete　reading　should　not　be　your　
objective。　As　stated　previously；　understanding　and　applying　
what　you　read　is　the　objective。　So　if　you　are　able　to　properly　
digest　only　one　page　a　day；　that　might　be　all　that　is　necessary　
for　you　to　arrive　at　your　goal。　If　you　are　wondering　why　this　
book　is　meant　to　be　〃sipped　and　tasted；〃　rather　than　
〃devoured〃　at　one　reading；　bear　in　mind　it　is　based　upon　over　
twenty　years　of　careful　analysis　of　the　methods　of　both　the　
very　successful　and　the　very　unsuccessful。　

Strength　Through　Sharing　

One　more　word　of　advice。　Since　very　fewif　anypeople　
bee　great　at　anything　by　themselves；　I　would　suggest　you　
attempt　to　find　at　least　one　other　person　with　whom　you　can　
share　and　discuss　the　ideas　presented　in　this　book。　

Prosperity　Consciousness　

I　believe　you　will　agree　it　is　an　observable　truth　that　
human　beings　will　never　enjoy　anything　they　are　not　yet　


consciously　aware　of。　For　example；　we　did　not　enjoy　the　luxury　
of　traveling　in　airplanes　at　tremendous　rates　of　speed；　until　
the　Wright　Brothers　became　consciously　aware　of　〃how　to　fly。〃　
Thomas　Edison　developed　the　conscious　awareness　of　the　
moving　pictures　and　introduced　us　to　a　brand　new　form　of　
entertainment。　Dr。　Jonas　Salk　became　consciously　aware　of　
how　to　develop　a　serum　that　would　bat　the　dreadful　
disease　of　infantileparalysismore　monly　referred　to　as　
polioand　as　a　result　of　Salk's　new　awareness；　you　very　rarely　
hear　of　anyone　contracting　that　disease　today。　Alexander　
Graham　Bell　became　consciously　aware　of　how　to　transmit　the　
human　voice　over　metallic　wires　and；　as　a　result；　we　all　now　
enjoy　the　use　of　the　telephone。　

Needless　to　say；　I　could　go　on　and　on　citing　example　after　
example。　However；　the　point　I　want　to　bring　to　the　forefront　of　
your　mind　is　that　these　inventionsor　the　knowledge　bringing　
about　these　inventionshave　always　been　here。　In　fact；　all　the　
knowledge　there　ever　was　or　ever　will　be；　is　evenly　present　in　
all　places　at　all　times。　But　it　took　an　individual　to　bring　those　
thoughtpatterns　together　and　form　ideas　which　developed　
into　what　we　call　consciousness；　before　we　could　begin　to　
benefit　from　them。　

We　are　floating　in　an　〃ocean〃　of　thoughtenergy；　where　all　
the　knowledge　there　ever　was　or　ever　will　be；　is　present。　We　
are　also　surrounded　by　abundance。　Indeed；　everywhere　we　
look　in　nature；　our　eyes　e　in　contact　with　abundance；　for　
nature　knows　no　such　thing　as　〃failure。〃　Therefore；　there　never　
has　been；　and　there　never　will　be；　a　lack　of　anything；　except　
consciousawareness。　But　if　you　are　going　to　begin　to　
perate　this　world　of　wealth；　it　is　absolutely　essential　that　
you　begin　to　think。　In　other　words；　you　must　open　your　mind　
to　the　stream　of　thoughtenergy　which　will　create　an　image；　or　
a　consciousness　of　prosperity；　in　your　mind。　

You　are　well　aware　there　are　literally　thousands　upon　
thousands　of　honest；　good；　hardworking　people　who　labor　
diligently　for　their　entire　stay　on　this　pla；　yet　never　bee　


wealthy。　For　those　individuals；　life　is　a　constant　grind　from　
sun　up　until　sun　down。　But　the　ideas　presented　on　these　
pages　have　been　put　here　in　the　hope　they　will　jar　your　mind　
and　inspire　you　to　open　it　up　to　this　new　type　of　thinking。　

Consciousness　is；　and　always　has　been；　developed　
through　thinking；　and　regardless　of　what　your　present　
situation　in　life　may　be；　if　you　ever　hope　to　improve　it　and　
truly　bee　wealthyas　this　book　suggests　you　canyou　must　
begin　thinking　of　prosperity　in　your　mind；　now。　Not　when　you　
finish　the　book。　Not　when　you　finish　the　chapter。　Not　
tomorrow；　next　week；　next　month　or　next　year。　It　must　be　
done　now。　Thinking　is　the　highest　function　of　which　a　human　
being　is　capable。　Yet；　unfortunately；　very　few　people　〃think。〃　
They　merely　trick　themselves　into　believing　that　because　there　
is　some　mental　activity　taking　place　in　their　mind；　they　are　
〃thinking。〃　But　the　truth　is；　most　people　are　simply　exercising　
the　mental　faculty　called　〃memory。〃　They　are　playing　old　
movies；　so　old　pictures　just　keep　flashing　back　on　the　screen　
of　their　mind。　

It　is　imperative　that　you　begin　this　new　way　of　thinking　at　
this　moment；　because　as　you　do；　every　fibre　of　your　being　will　
bee　filled　with　this　new　thoughtenergy。　Your　body　is　
prised　of　millions　upon　millions　of　cells　and　each　one　of　
them　is　influenced　in　its　movement　by　thought　impulses。　So　
the　second　you　begin　entertaining　relaxing　thoughts；　your　
body　bees　relaxed。　The　instant　you　begin　entertaining　
worrisome；　fearful　thoughts；　your　body　bees　rigid　and　
tense。　As　you　begin　to　hold　thoughts　of　prosperity　and　begin　
thinking　of　yourself　as　a　very　wealthy；　prosperous　individual　
who
