How To Attract Success

12 of 33

Something always intervenes and prevents it. The methods we use do not affect out ability to obtain wealth or success temporarily but they do affect our ability to retain them permanently. The world has not yet come into a realization that everywhere around us in this vacant space, as we call it, there is a live, vital, seething mass of energy, far more vital and powerful than anything man has yet harnessed in material form, and to which he may go and draw from it an eternal abundance of everything he wants.

While it is true this vital substance is invisible to the physical sight yet it is none the less true that it exists, just as the electric fan revolving at a speed so rapid we cannot see it, yet when the current is shut off and the vibrations of the fan lowered it begins to materialize and we can see it then with our physical eyes. So with this invisible substance, when we relate with it constantly and persistently in our consciousness in accordance with the image we have built and hold in our imagination we set up a strong, powerful vibration with our thoughts, and under the Law of Harmonious Attraction the atoms of this invisible substance with which we relate in our thought world begin to lower their vibrations and finally become materialized in form around us.

There is only one substance in the universe, and it is from this one substance that everything which we have ever materialized in form on the objective plane has been derived. This once substance may be differentiated into the myriads of material things we have had in the past, have now, or which we may create in the future, the differentiation being occasioned by the difference in the rate at which the atoms, composing the material form, vibrate.

When we understand this truth and use our Intuition to create as limitless a vision as we can of the thing we want, our Inspiration to increase our own bodily vibrations and relate us with the more rapid vibrating currents on the unseen side of life, and our Intellect to hold fast to this vision and inspiration, will have then effected a combination which, with these faculties working together in perfect harmony, will be able to reach out into the formless energy and attract the gold of the universe to us and differentiate it into form any time we may desire. Now do not misunderstand me and get the idea that I either believe or teach that in our present state of consciousness it would be possible for any of us to sit with folded hands, with a blank, negative state of consciousness, and have a few million dollars drop into our laps from out of the blue sky.

What I do mean is this: That through the operation of this Law of Harmonious Attraction we can make ourselves so full of the attractive power that over perfectly normal lines of transference on the objective plane, and in perfectly legitimate ways, old lines of transference will be increased, new ones opened up, and our earning capacity be increased way beyond what we have heretofore thought possible, and all this because people will want and love to do business with us rather than with those who try to make them through the use of the inharmonious Law of Force.

Under the Law of Force we are never sure of being able to retain what we do get. There is always the fear that we may make some unsafe investment, or that we will have something stolen from us, or that someone stronger and more powerful than we, or someone sharper, smarter, and less honest than we are will take it away from us, or that we will lose it in some way, or that whatever we do will be the wrong thing to do instead of the right. This fear is well founded too, because we can only retain a thing under the same Law we obtained it. When we live under the Law of Force we always find someone, sometime and somewhere, who is able to use this Law more effectively than we can, and what we have obtained under it begins to leave us.
