How To Attract Success

CHAPTER 14

This vacant space everywhere around us is vacant only to our physical senses. It contains the material, in solution, for everything we have ever had materialized in objective form, or ever will have. When we have obtained the vision of an abundance of supply and our oneness with it, and have formed the fixed habit of holding fast to it, we make of ourselves a magnet through which we relate with the harmonious and constructive currents and attract from this formless energy the atoms which make for abundance of supply in our lives. We are all like a central telephone station. All around us is the switchboard with wires leading out to every part of the city, to the saloons, opium joints, brothels, and other places of degradation these represent the destructive forces; other wires lead to the homes, churches, schools, and everything which symbolizes the constructive power.

Each one of these wires has a socket while the operator has a plug which when inserted in any one of the sockets makes the connection complete. We can put the plug in a socket which will connect us with the poverty-stricken districts, the saloons, the opium joints, etc., or we can put the plug in a socket which will connect us with the homes, the churches, the institutions of learning and higher places of culture.

WHAT CONNECTION DO WE WISH TO MAKE?

One with the constructive powers or one with the destructive forces?

The operator our will-power will connect us with either. When the plug is jammed away in the connection is strong and complete, but when it only touches the socket the connection is slight and weak. So with each life. We have invisible rays wires running out in all directions from us which touch all the currents of the universe. We stand in the center with our intellect ready to execute the command of our will-power.

Our will-power the central operator acts in accordance with the images or thoughts subscribers calls which we allow to persist. When we live in or image imagine destructive thoughts we relate with the currents in which are located all the destructive things, the same as when we connect with any phone representing the destructive forces. It depends entirely upon where we put the plug of our thoughts as to what connection we make with these numerous currents, and that determines the relationship we establish.

When we put the plug in the thought current of lack and poverty, when we say or think or imagine, I am poor, I must economize, I cannot afford to do it, I am a lunkhead, or belittle ourselves in any way, we recognize in our consciousness, by such thought or action, our separation from the abundance of supply, and are creating a consciousness of poverty; we are holding up a vision or image of lack and through that very connection we attract from out this formless energy the material which goes to make for lack and poverty in our lives.

On the other hand when we put this thought plug into the socket which connects with the abundance of supply, when we recognize that it is impossible for us to have lack in our lives no matter how poverty-stricken our objective environment may be, when we fill our imagination with the image of our oneness with the abundance of supply and hold this image continuously and persistently, we are creating a consciousness of wealth and success, and we attract to us, by that very connection, the atoms from the formless energy which begin to materialize this abundance of supply in our environment.

One may ask, Am I to go and buy something which I may want but for which I am not able to pay? The proper attitude in such a case is this: Buy it in your thought world, see yourself owning it that is imagine (image) your ownership of it do this persistently and continuously in your thought world and in that way create a consciousness that it is yours NOW, recognize your oneness with it NOW and in accordance with your degree of recognizing that oneness will it materialize for you. The greatest secret in life is RECOGNITION.
