thinking of yourself as a very wealthy； prosperous individual
who is surrounded by an ocean of thought energy； swimming
in a sea of plenty； your body and mind will instantly move into
a prosperous vibration and you will begin to attractjust like a
mageverything necessary for you to bee wealthy。
I know to the uninitiated； these ideas are just about as
bizarre as anything a person could think of。 Nevertheless； they
are true。 For mental awareness of prosperity always precedes
wealth in your material world。 It is not difficult； therefore； for
children today； born into families of great wealthlike the
Kennedy's or the Bronfman'sto think these prosperous
thoughts and to have this prosperity consciousness； since that
is the only type of thinking they were subjected to； right from
birth。 We say they have been conditioned in； or to； prosperity。
However； the majority of people have not been born into
that kind of an environment and so they were not surrounded
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 t
