by　that　type　of　thinking。　We　must；　therefore；　develop　an　
understanding　of：　

1。　how　we　have　been　conditioned　
2。　why　we　are　getting　the　results　we　are　getting；　
and　
3。　how　we　can　change　our　way　of　thinking　or　our　
conditioning。　


That　is　not　an　easy　thing　to　do。　It　takes　much　discipline。　
It　takes　a　tremendous　desire。　It　takes　a　lot　of　diligent　effort；　
which　is　the　probable　reason　so　few　people　ever　actually　
change。　Yet　I　want　you　to　know　that　regardless　of　how　difficult　
it　may　be；　it　can　be　done　and　it　can　be　done　in　a　relatively　
short　period　of　time。　The　pensation　you　will　receive　for　
your　effort　will　delight　you。　I　know　because　I　have　done　it　and　I　
know　many；　many　other　people　who　have　done　the　same　
thing。　Now　it　is　necessary　for　you　to　do　it。　

The　very　fact　that　you　have　picked　up　and　started　
reading　this　book　is　all　the　proof　you　will　ever　need；　that　you　
truly　do　have　a　desire　to　change。　Moreover；　there　is　a　waya　
sure　wayfor　you　to　receive　your　desired　good；　and　this　book　
will　outline　the　way　for　you。　

There　Is　Real　Power　Within　You　

Below　the　level　of　your　consciousness　is　the　great　
treasury　of　your　subconscious　mind　and　that　is　the　part　of　
your　personality　we　want　to　begin　to　influence　through　our　
new　thoughtpatterns。　In　order　to　make　the　issue　definite　and　


concrete；　consider　the　following　statement：　any　idea；　plan　or　
purpose　may　be　planted　in　the　subconscious　mind　by　
repetition　of　thought　empowered　by　faith　and　expectancy。　You　
might　be　asking：　〃Can　this　statement　be　demonstrated　to　be　
true　through　experimentation　and　observation　or；　is　there　any　
known　method　or　technique　by　which　the　proof　may　be　
secured；　and　if　there　is　such　a　method　or　technique；　is　it　
available　to　everyone？〃　These　questions　can　all　be　answered　
with　an　emphatic　yes。　As　you　read；　test；　and　experiment　with　
the　ideas　that　will　e　to　you　in　the　following　pages；　you　will　
answer　all　of　these　questions　for　yourself。　And；　it　is　necessary　
that　you　answer　them　for　yourself；　because　as　human　beings；　
we　will　not　truly　believe　something　until　we　actually　discover　it　
for　ourselves。　

This　book　was　written　in　the　sincere　hope　that　it　would　
lead　you　to　the　many　discoveries　that　lie　within　you　by　the　
repetition　of　these　prosperity　ideas。　You　must　begin　to　see　
money　as　an　obedient；　diligent　servant；　that　you　can　employ　to　
earn　more　money；　and　that　you　can　use　to　provide　services　far　
beyond　the　service　that　you　could　ever　physically　provide。　It　is　
necessary　that　you　feel　fortable　when　you　talk　about　
money；　because　you　have　truly　been　〃Born　Rich。〃　You　have　all　
the　mental　tools　necessary　to　attract　the　thoughts　you　are　
surrounded　by；　to　create　the　consciousness　that　you　must　
create　in　order　for　you　to　have　the　wealth　you　choose　to　have。　
Lack　and　limitation　can　only　exist　when　we　make　room　for　
them　in　our　minds。　But　prosperity　consciousness　knows　no　
lack　and　no　limitation。　Resolve　to　pletely　remove　the　lid　
from　your　marvelous　mind；　with　respect　to　your　own　earning
ability；　and　understand　that　the　wealth　you　are　seeking　isand　
always　has　beenseeking　you　in　return。　So　open　wide　the　
doors　of　your　conscious　mind　now；　and　begin　to　receive　it。　

Mental　Money　

Begin　immediately　to　play　a　mental　game　with　yourself
get　into　the　habit　of　visualizing　yourself　in　the　possession　of　
great　wealth。　Think　of　some　of　the　things　you　would　do　with　


that　money　and　then　mentally　start　doing　them。　Since　your　
subconscious　mind　cannot　tell　the　difference　between　actually　
doing　something　and　visualizing　yourself　doing　it；　this　exercise　
will　very　quickly　help　you　to　develop　a　prosperity　
consciousness。　Remember；　it　is　an　absolute　law　of　your　being；　
that　you　must　have　something　mentally　before　you　will　ever　
have　it　physically！　

Also　understand　that　everyone　talks　to　themselves　
mentallyin　fact；　some　people　even　do　it　out　loud。　Therefore；　
whenever　you　are　carrying　on　your　private　conversation　with　
yourself；　always　talk　about　how　good　it　feels　to　be　wealthy。　
Congratulate　yourself　on　being　wealthy　and　hear　others　
congratulating　you　as　well。　You　should　realize　that　although　
this　might　appear　to　be　a　game　you　are　playing；　you　are　doing　
one　of　the　wisest　things　you　can　possibly　doyou　are　working　
from　a　higher　to　a　lower　potential。　

You　are　embarking　on　a　program　of　selfdevelopment。　
You　are　about　to　learn　that　there　is　much　more　to　your　self　
than　meets　the　eye；　and　you　must　apprehend　this　〃hidden　
factor　of　your　personality；〃　if　you　are　ever　to　develop　yourself　
properly。　In　truth；　you　will　never　see　the　greatest　part　of　your　
being　because　it　is　nonphysical　in　nature。　In　fact；　you　will　
soon　bee　aware　that　you　are　constantly　living　
simultaneously　on　three　distinct　planes　of　being：　you　are　
spiritual；　you　have　an　intellect　and　you　live　in　a　physical　body。　
To　understand　this　abstraction　better；　you　must　keep　in　mind　
that　you　are　living　simultaneously　on　three　distinct　planes　of　
existence。　

1。　The　Spiritual　Plane　of　Thoughts　（Highest　
Potential）　
2。　The　Intellectual　Plane　of　Ideas　（Middle　
Potential）　
3。　The　Physical　Plane　of　Results　（Lowest　
Potential）　


Therefore；　by　doing　what　I　have　suggested　you　do；　you　
are　merely　using　your　〃divine　nature〃　to　choose　the　thoughts　


（i。e。　〃Money　is　good；〃　〃I　love　people　and　I　use　money；〃　〃Money　
is　a　servant；　I　am　the　master；〃）　which　will　build　an　idea。　In　our　
case；　the　idea　happens　to　be　that　of　〃Great　Personal　Wealth；〃　
or　〃True　Financial　Success。〃　Be　very　aware　that　ideas；　such　as　
the　idea　of　〃financial　success；〃　never　form　by　themselves；　the　
human　personality　must　always　enter　into　the　process；　by　
thinking　the　thoughts　which　can　then　be　used　to　build　the　
idea。　That　is　the　very　thing　that　makes　the　human　being　
〃godlike；〃　or　you　could　say；　a　creative　creaturethe　highest　
form　of　creation！　So　by　holding　this　beautiful　idea；　or　picture　
of　financial　success　in　your　mind；　you　will　ultimately　be　able　
to　cause　the　idea　to　manifest　itself　in　your　life　（i。e。　in　your　
results）。　As　you　progress　through　this　book；　you　will　see　how　
this　actually　occurs！　

Now；　let's　take　a　couple　of　steps　backward。　You　will　
remember　that　I　wrote；　in　a　previous　paragraph；　that　you　are　
working　from　a　higher　to　a　lower　potential。　What　I　meant　by　
this　is　that　you　are　working　from　

Thoughts　。。。　（Spirit）　
to　
Idea　。。。　（Intellectual）　
to　
Thing　。。。　（Physical）　

rather　than　working　from　　

Thing　。。。　（Physical）　
to　
Thoughts　。。。　（Spirit）　
to　
Idea　。。。　（Intellectual）　

as　you　have　probably　done　in　the　past　and　as　the　vast　
majority　of　people　will　continue　to　do　in　the　future。　That　is　to　
say；　most　people　will　look　at　a　result　in　their　life　and　then　let　
that　result　dictate　the　Thoughts　they　will　then　use　to　build　
their　Idea。　For　example；　if　they　see　that　their　bank　account　is　
empty　（a　result）；　they　will　choose　to　think　thoughts　of　lack　or　


loss　and　then　they　will　use　those　thoughts　to　build　the　idea　of　
poverty。　However；　since　the　idea　they　are　holding　in　their　mind　
must　manifest　in　their　future　results；　they　are　actually　
bringing　about　a　repeat　performance　of　the　very　thing　which　
they　say　they　don't　want：　namely；　an　empty　bank　account。　It　
thus　bees　a　selfdoomfulfilling　cycle　they　are　living；　and　
clearly；　this　is　not　the　way　our　Maker　has　intended　for　us　to　
live！　

You　might　very　well　be　saying　to　yourself　that　this　is　an　
absurd　argument；　for　if　a　bank　account　is　empty；　it's　empty。　It　
just　isn't　realistic　to　look　at　an　empty　bank　account　and　be　
able　to　visualize　great　wealth。　But　I　want　you　to　know；　this　is　
the　very　kind　of　reasoning　which　perpetuates　poverty　and　
keeps　poor　people　impoverished！　

You　must　begin　to　understand　that　the　present　state　of　
your　bank　account；　your　sales；　your　health；　your　social　life；　
your　position　at　work；　etc。；　is　nothing　more　than　the　physical　
manifestation　of　your　previous　thinking。　If　you　sincerely　wish　
to　change　or　improve　your　results　in　your　physical　world；　you　
must　change　your　thoughts　and　you　must　change　them　
immediately。　

If　you　take　the　time　to　really　think　through　the　
information　which　is　being　presented；　you　will　conclude　that　
what　has　just　been　said　makes　perfect　sense。　In　fact；　anyone　
who　truly　understands　the　〃creative　process；〃　will　tell　you　
what　I　have　just　said　is　not　only　right；　but　it　is　a　natural　law　of　
your　being　it　is　the　way　God　works　with　and　through　the　
individual。　This　is　also　called　prayer　in　some　〃circles〃　（〃prayer〃　
being　the　movement　that　takes　place　between　spirit　and　form；　
with　and　through　the　individual）。　God　has　given　you　the　ability　
to　build　any　idea　which　you　desire。　You　were　〃Born　Rich〃　and　
your　abundance　is　contained　in　thought。　So　be　good　to　
yourself；　choose　magnificent　ideas；　and　cease　permitting　your　
physical　world　to　control　your　thinking。　

You　can　readily　understand；　by　now；　how　everyone　
makes　the　〃great　mistake。〃　In　Emerson's　essay　on　Self


Reliance　he　said；　〃Envy　is　ignorance。〃　In　other　words；　to　look　
at　another　person's　〃Acplishments；〃　or　〃Results；〃　and　then　
to　envy　them；　is　truly　unwise。　For　those　people　first　chose　
their　thoughts；　in　order　to　build　the　picture　in　their　mind　of　
the　good　that　is　now　manifest　in　their　life；　and　they　chose　
those　thoughts　from　the　infinite　source　of　supply　which　is　
available　to　all　of　usyou　as　well！　

That　is　what　the　great　artist；　Vincent　Van　Gogh；　meant　
when　he　was　asked　how　he　did　such　beautiful　work。　He　said；　
〃I　dream　my　painting；　and　then　I　paint　my　dream。〃　In　other　
words；　he　saw　the　picture　in　his　mind　first　and　then　he　made　
a　replica　on　canvasin　oil；　of　the　original　in　his　mind。　In　truth；　
there　has　never　been　an　〃original〃　〃Van　Gogh〃　sold！　As　I　am　
writing　this　I　can　see　you　reading　it；　and　can　almost　hear　you　
thinking；　〃That　makes　a　lot　of　sensenow　I　see。〃　

A　few　years　ago　Mary　Snyder　from　California　sat　in　one　of　
my　seminars　with　her　husband　Oscar。　She　gave　me　a　quote　by　
Lincoln　which　I　truly　love　and　which　I　have　shared　with　
thousands　of　people。　Lincoln　said；　〃To　believe　in　the　things　
you　can　see　and　touch　is　no　belief　at　all；　but　to　believe　in　the　
unseen　is　a　triumph　and　a　blessing。〃　Isn't　that　beautiful？　
Thanks　again；　Mary。　

Hopefully　by　now　you　understand　the　wisdom　of　some　of　
these　mental　exercises　I　have　been　suggesting。　So　keep　
repeating：　〃I　am　prosperous；　I　am　wealthy；　money　is　good。〃　See　
yourself　in　your　mind's　eye；　doing　what　you　will　do　when　you　
have　the　manifestation　of　your　new　attitude　or　consciousness。　
Visualize　this　great　wealth　and　feel　yourself　already　in　
possession　of　it。　Remember　though；　money　is　the　servant；　you　
are　the　masteryou　love　people　and　you　use　money。　

Before　you　continue　on　to　the　next　chapter；　reread　this　
chapter；　〃Me　And　Money；〃　because　rereading　it　will　help　you　
release　that　old　idea　about　money；　which　causes　an　
unfortable　feeling　whenever　the　subject　of　money　is　raised。　
Repeat　to　yourself；　several　times　each　day；　〃Me　And　Money；〃　


until　you　bee　totally　aware　of　how　good　you　feel　thinking　
about　wealth。　

Refrain　from　talking　to　a　lot　of　people　about　this　new　idea
