In the last part of this series, we talked about the energy that is in the Universe and how this is the raw material that makes up everything.

The Thinking Universe

The next step in getting to grips with the concepts behind the Science of Getting Rich is to consider that this energy has intelligence behind it - it thinks. You may call this God if you like. I just think of it as the creative power behind everything. This is a massive subject and can be debated for ages (and has been !). I don’t want to get into that but just ask that you imagine some intelligence behind everything..

In this theory, the thoughts of this ‘substance’ have created the things we see and those thoughts maintain everything. Its thoughts make the planets move and the plants grow and the continual development and evolution of life. So whenever this thinking substance thinks about something it happens. It doesn’t necessarily happen instantaneously, but a process is initiated that leads to its creation.

Our Thoughts

We, as humans, can think too, of course. We can think of something and we can use the existing resources we have to make that thing. We use manual labour to make things and we automate processes to make things, all from the physical raw materials that we have.

However, there is another way which few people have used. Imagine if we could communicate with the universal creative energy and use it to create the things we want. The Science of Getting Rich proposes that we can do this and it is the Foundation of the method.. It is asking us to think about things in a particular way. If we think about things in that way, we will get rich.. This requires discipline and effort.

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

These ideas seem fairly radical to me and can be easily dismissed. However, if you’re serious about getting rich then, I’d suggest you accept the possibility that they could be true and see what happens.

So, for instance, if you want to be rich, don’t focus on poverty. If you want to be healthy, don’t think about illness all the time. Your thoughts are important as they can create things and can strongly influence your experience of life. So beware of your thoughts ! Easy to say, not always easy to do.

More soon.
