How To Attract Success

13 of 33

A Wall Street man once came to me with this story: He wanted to buy a property in New York. The price and terms had been satisfactorily agreed upon by both parties but the agent who was conducting the sale wanted the owner to pay him a larger commission than agreed. This the owner refused to do and the purchasers contract expiring in the meantime the owner immediately sold the property to another party at a big advance in price. This man did not learn, until it was too late, why his agent had not completed the sale. He had lived under the Law of Force all his life and so the Universal Law gave him what he had created for himself and took away, at the very last minute, this opportunity to make money, through no fault of his he and the world both said.

Later on this same man leased a property for hotel purposes and engaged another party to manage it. Through a combination of circumstances and conditions, made possible only through the in harmony he had created under the Law of Force, his Manager surreptitiously obtained a new lease in his own name and ousted the employer from possession. This same man owned a property in process of development for which he was offered and refused $300,000 cash.

Later on, through the men who managed the corporation but who only held enough stock by his permission to qualify as officers, he was sold out and only realized about $40,000 from the wreck. Luck you say!

Well, luck is only the effect of the energy we create in consciousness and it is for each and every one of us to say whether this effect shall be good or bad luck. Under the Law of Harmonious Attraction it is always good luck and remains so. Under the Law of Force as long as the force we use is stronger than that used by others we have good luck temporarily, but the fear that we will lose what we have is well grounded, for some day we run up against someone who uses the Law of Force better than we and our money melts away like dew before the morning sun. These are only a few of the negative registrations of the Law of Force in this mans life.

For four years prior to coming to me this man had been having a hand to mouth existence and had about completely lost his courage. He was under my care and instruction for nearly a year and in that time financed one big deal and got two other large ones under way, aggregating considerably more than the first one, and so far his profits have brought him a quarter of a million dollars.

All this came to him under the Law of Harmonious Attraction and through his consciously building for it under this Law. He ceased to fight for anything, knowing, as he looked back over his life, that resistance and resentment create an energy which is always destructive and that it is far better to let go of everything which can be held only under the Law of Force and use the energy toward creating something else under the Law of Harmonious Attraction.

Under this Law of Harmonious Attraction all fear disappears, for we know that this Law is stronger and more powerful than is the Law of Force, and that it is impossible for anyone working under the Law of Force to take anything away from us unless we first create the destructive energy in our own consciousness which permits the Universal Law to use them as such destructive instrument in our lives, and that those who are working under the Law of Harmonious Attraction will not want to take anything away from us.

We know that what we have created for ourselves under the Law of Harmonious Attraction is our own, for it came to us harmoniously and constructively and because the other fellow wanted us to have it and so we can keep it as long as we want it.

CHAPTER 5

In analyzing these several states of consciousness it can readily be seen that one working on the Physical, or plane of Instinct, not yet having separated himself in his thought world from the abundance of supply is therefore still unconsciously related with it. The majority of rich persons in the United States are still comparatively young souls, that is souls or egos who have not had many incarnations.
