Speaker 1 (00:00):
Acting in a certain way. Thought is the creative power,
or the impelling force, which causes the creative power to act.
Thinking in a certain way will bring riches to you.
But you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no
attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which
many otherwise scientific metaphysical thinkers meet shipwreck, the failure to
(00:22):
connect thought with personal action. We have not yet reached
the stage of development. Even supposing such a stage to
be possible, in which man can create directly from former substance,
without nature's processes or the work of human hands, man
must not only think, but his personal action must supplement
his thought by thought. You can cause the gold in
(00:44):
the hearts of the mountains to be impelled toward you,
but it will not mine itself, refine itself, coine itself
into double eagles, and come rolling along the roads seeking
its way into your pocket. Under the impelling power of
the supreme spirit, man's affairs will be so ordered that
some one will be led to mind the gold for you.
(01:05):
Other men's business transactions will be so directed that the
gold will be brought toward you. And you must so
arrange your own business affairs that you may be able
to receive it when it comes to you. Your thought
makes all things animate and inanimate work to bring you
what you want. But your personal activity must be such
that you can rightly receive what you want when it
(01:26):
reaches you. You are not to take it as charity,
nor to steal it. You must give every man more
in news value than he gives you in cash value.
The scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear
and distinct mental image of what you want, in holding
fast to the purpose to get what you want, and
in realizing with grateful faith that you do get what
(01:48):
you want. Do not try to project your thought in
any mysterious or occult way with the idea of having
it go out and do things for you. That is
wasted effort and will weaken your to think with sanity.
The action of thought in getting rich is fully explained
in the preceding chapters. Your faith and purpose positively impress
(02:09):
your vision upon formers substance which has the same desire
for more life that you have, And this vision received
from you, sets all the creative forces at work in
and through their regular channels of action, but direct it
toward you. It is not your part to guide or
supervise the creative process. All you have to do with
that is to retain your vision, to stick to your purpose,
(02:30):
and maintain your faith and gratitude. But you must act
in a certain way so that you can appropriate what
is yours when it comes to you, so that you
can meet the things you have in your picture and
put them in their proper places as they arrive. You
can really see the truth of this. When things reach you,
they will be in the hands of other men who
(02:51):
will ask an equivalent for them, And you can only
get what is yours by giving the other man what
is his. Your pocket book is not going to be
trans formed into afford to not asperse, which shall be
always full of money without effort on your part. This
is a crucial point in the science of getting rich
right here, when thought and personal action must be combined.
(03:12):
There are very many people who consciously or unconsciously set
the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence
of their desires, but who remain poor because they do
not provide for the reception of the thing they want
when it comes by thought. The thing you want is
brought to you by action, you receive it. Whatever your
(03:32):
action is to be it is evident that you must
act now. You cannot act in the past, and it
is essential to the clearness of your mental vision that
you dismiss the past from your mind. You cannot act
in the future, for the future is not here yet,
and you cannot tell how you will want to act
in any future contingency until that contingency has arrived. Because
(03:54):
you are not in the right business or the right
environment now. Do not think that you must postpone action
until you get into the right business or environment. And
do not spend time in the present taking thought as
to the best course impossible future emergencies. Have faith in
your ability to meet any emergency when it arrives. If
you act in the present, which your mind on the future,
(04:16):
your present action will be with a divided mind and
will not be effective. Put your whole mind into present action.
Do not give your creative impulse to original substance and
then sit down and wait for results. If you do,
you will never get them. Act now. There is never
any time but now, and there never will be any
(04:37):
time but now. If you are ever to begin to
make ready for the reception of what you want, you
must begin now, and your action, whatever it is must
most likely be in your present business or employment, and
must be upon the persons and things in your present environment.
You cannot act where you are not You cannot act
where you have been, and you cannot act where you
(04:59):
are going to be. You can act only where you are.
Do not bother as to whether yesterday's work was well
done or ill done. Do to day's work well. Do
not try to do to morrow's work now. There will
be plenty of time to do that when you get
to it. Do not try by occult or mystical means
to act on people or things that are out of
(05:20):
your reach. Do not wait for a change of environment
before you act. Get a change of environment by action.
You can so act upon the environment in which you
are now as to cause yourself to be transferred to
a better environment. Hold with faith and purpose the vision
of yourself in the better environment. But act upon your
present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength,
(05:43):
and with all your mind. Do not spend any time
in day dreaming or castle building. Hold to the one
vision of what you want and act now. Do not
cast about seeking some new thing to do, or some strange,
unusual or remarkable action to perform as a first step
to getting rich. It is probable that your actions, at
(06:03):
least for some time to come, will be those you
have been performing for some time past. But you are
to begin now to perform these actions in a certain way,
which will surely make you rich. If you are engaged
in some business and feel that it is not the
right one for you, do not wait until you get
into the right business before you begin to act. Do
(06:23):
not feel discouraged or sit down and lament because you
are misplaced. No man was ever so misplaced but that
he could not find the right place. And no man
ever became so involved in the wrong business, but that
he could get into the right business. Hold the vision
of yourself in the right business, with the purpose to
get into it, and the faith that you will get
(06:44):
into it and are getting into it. But act in
your present business. Use your present business as the means
of getting a better one, and use your present environment
as the means of getting into a better one. Your
vision of the right business, if held with faith them perpose,
will cause the Supreme to move the right business toward you.
And your action, if be formed in a certain way,
(07:06):
will cause you to move toward the business. If you
are an employee or wage earner and feel that you
must change places in order to get what you want,
do not project your thought into space and rely upon
it to get you another job. It will probably fail
to do so. Hold a vision of yourself in the
job you want, while you act with faith and purpose
(07:27):
on the job you have, and you will certainly get
the job you want. Your vision and faith will set
the create a force in motion to bring it toward you,
and your action will cause the forces in your own
environment to move you toward the place you want. In
closing this chapter, we will add another statement to our syllabus.
There is a thinking stuff from it all things are made,
(07:49):
and which in its original state permits, penetrates, and feels
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. In order to do this, man
(08:11):
must pass from the competitive to the creative mind. He
must form a clear mental picture of the thing he
wants and hold his picture in his thoughts with the
fixed purpose to get what he wants, and the aumavoring
faith that he does get what he wants, closing his
mind to all that may tend to shake his purpose,
dim his vision, or quench his faith, that he may
(08:31):
receive what he wants when it comes. Man must act
now upon the people and things in his present environment.
