The Science of Getting Rich

[Ramai]

Most of us intuitively know that the world is an abundant and unlimited place. But how do we change our perception to what seems to be?

Wallace Wattles said that “By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action,you receive it.”

Wallace Wattles free ebook The Science of Getting Rich Science of Getting Rich claims that all you need to get rich is to use your will power upon yourself and you can become whatever you want to be.

Practice being in the present moment, using meditation if desired as a tool to achieve this.

This is the law of attraction. By having thoughts about things, we bring them into the "minds eye"; the more we consciously think about it, the more permanent that minds eye focus becomes, and as such anything around us that will assist in achieving that desired goal whether in a small way or large way, will be presented to use (bring our awareness to it), but unless we actually act on those things that are presented to us, the goal will not be achieved. Thoughts will attract things, but only if you act on what is presented in front of you, and to assist with that, being present helps.

Haven't read it, but I've downloaded it and will do when I get a moment. However, from your brief statement, I agree, it's true.

Getting rich seems like a weird thing to be interested in. What good could possibly come from that? Or am I misunderstanding the way the phrase is used?

[Ramai]

Rich is a relative term. A millionaire may feel pretty good about his achievements until he takes notice of a billionaire’s yacht.

I escaped from my country and migrated twice in the last 25 years and I am content with what I have achieved from a materialistic point of view. However, there is one area I seem to want more of; I constantly strive to learn and understand more.

When I was young(er) I was very focussed on accessing abundance. I recall thinking at the time that I could not be happy unless I was wealthy in a material sense.

In the last few years I have struggled with the problem of material abundance in my life and wished for a much simpler life.

The Law of Attraction is very real in my experience. The key issue for me is being clear on what to manifest. There is much truth to the warning of being careful for what you pray (ask) for.

The importance of undertaking that deep enquiry within the stillness and silence is so important in my experience. The clarity, sense and focus that this brings is vital. It really does shape ones day-to-day life experiences.

But of course, many of us do not take the advice of others and have to find out the hard way...

Nothing but the best...

I don't think getting rich only means getting a fat bank balance; it also means great friends, health, peace of mind, and so on. And yes, the Law of Attraction does help us get all that and more.

Many thanks Giles, Itlandm, Olmate, vegietovegan for your contribution.

I think becoming rich could be a detriment to spiritual progress, but it could also be extremely helpful for someone whose biggest priority in life is ending the ego illusion. If one could retire early and use all that extra time for spiritual practice, I could see that being very helpful.

Or you could be even richer by being at one with yourself and giving up all your wordly goods and helping others

May I be a guard for those who need protection
A guide for those on the path
A boat, a raft, a bridge for those who wish to cross the flood
May I be a lamp in the darkness
A resting place for the weary
A healing medicine for all who are sick
A vase of plenty, a tree of miracles
And for the boundless multitudes of living beings
May I bring sustenance and awakening
Enduring like the earth and sky
Until all beings are freed from sorrow
And all are awakened

As Karmoh suggests, there is more to being "rich" than material wealth. There is a richness in life, a richness of emotions, a richness of mental attitute etc.

Attracting richness into your life can be a means of becoming more present if one sees it as letting go of the ego and attachment to material things.
