The Happy and Prosperous Blog

Today I thought it would be worth doing a summary of where we have got to in the first 6 chapters of the Science of Getting Rich.

Previous Posts

I initially did a quick background piece on the book and the Secret then did a commentary on each chapter up to chapter 6.

1. You Deserve to be Rich
2. Is there a Method of Getting Rich ?
3. What is the Universe Made of ?
4. Hold That Thought
5. Evolving, Growing, Developing
6. Think BIG

I don’t want to repeat myself (well, not too much anyway !), I want to pull out the main points.

Fact or Theory ?

Before that though, I think it’s important to say that The Science of Getting Rich is written in such a way that it is presented as fact. It may be that it is all fact, however, at the moment, I prefer to take it as a well-established theory. There is plenty of evidence to support it and I am not certain that it works for everybody every time. Having said that, I think there is a good chance that it is correct and I want to put it to the test in my life. So I take the concepts and the method to be true; I hold the theory to be true and I put it into practice. So far, the results look promising.

The Main Points

OK, this is my interpretation of the main points:

• At the most basic level, everything in the Universe is made of energy.
• This energy is the raw material of all things.
• This energy was not all used up in creating the Universe - there is plenty of unused raw material left.
• This energy has creative intelligence behind it (you can call it God or any other Deity you like. I prefer not to, because I am not religious). Whatever it thinks is then created.
• This creative intelligence uses the energy to make all things grow, develop and evolve. It makes new plants grow, it keeps the planets going round the sun etc. etc.
• Life by its very nature, wants to expand, grow, develop and evolve.
• The creative intelligence wants us, as human beings, to do the same.
• The creative intelligence wants us to be rich so that we can live more, be more and do more. By being rich we can help the world to be a better place for everyone.
• Therefore we have a reason to be rich, a right to be rich and, here, we have a method to be rich.
• Rich is not solely about money. Money is needed so we can enjoy more life on an intellectual level, a soul level and a physical level.
• It is possible to communicate with the creative intelligence and it will create what we ask for if we go about that in a particular way.
• Because there is energy for creating things available, when you get rich it does not mean that someone else is poorer.
• So there getting rich is not about competition for limited resources; it is about being creative - creating the things you want.
• Business should be conducted with integrity and we should give people more in value than we take from them in money.

Do feel free to comment, agree, disagree or whatever.
