Science of Getting Rich

FIRST SUBJECT

No man can rise to his GREATEST POSSIBLE HEIGHT in TALENT OR SOUL DEVELOPMENT unless he has PLENTY OF MONEY; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he MUST HAVE MANY THINGS to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has MONEY TO BUY THEM WITH.

Man’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his FULLEST MENTAL, SPIRITUAL, and PHYSICAL UNFOLDMENT; or, in other words, his RIGHT TO BE RICH.

Success in life is BECOMING WHAT YOU WHAT TO BE; you can become what you want to be only by making use of things, and you can have the free use of things only as you become rich enough to buy them.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The DESIRE FOR RICHEST is really the DESIRE FOR RICHER, FULLER, AND MORE ABUNDANT LIFE; and THAT DESIRE IS PRAISEWORTHY.

There are THREE MOTIVES for which we live; WE LIVE FOR THE BODY, WE LIVE FOR THE MIND, WE LIVE FOR THE SOUL.

We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that REAL LIFE MEANS THE COMPLETE EXPRESSION OF ALL THAT MAN CAN GIVE forth through BODY, MIND and SOUL.

Whatever he can say, no man can be really HAPPY OR SATISFIED unless his BODY IS LIVING FULLY IN EVERY FUNCTION, AND UNLESS THE SAME IS TRUE OF HIS MIND AND HIS SOUL.

Man cannot live fully in BODY WITHOUT GOOD FOOD, COMFORTABLE CLOTHING,and WARM SHELTER; and WITHOUT FREEDOM FROM EXCESSIVE TOIL. REST AND RECREATION are also necessary to his physical life.

He cannot live fully in MIND WITHOUT BOOKS AND TIME TO STUDY THEM, WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY FOR TRAVEL AND OBSERVATION, or WITHOUT INTELLECTUAL COMPANIONSHIP.

To live fully in mind he must have INTELLECTUAL RECREATIONS, and must SURROUND HIMSELF WITH ALL THE OBJECTS OF ART AND BEAUTY HE IS CAPABLE OF USING AND APPRECIATING.

To live fully in soul, man must HAVE LOVE; AND LOVE IS DENIED EXPRESSION BY POVERTY. A man’s highest happiness is found in the BESTOWAL OF BENEFITS ON THOSE HE LOVES; LOVE FINDS ITS MOST NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS EXPRESSION IN GIVING.

The man who has NOTHING TO GIVE CANNOT FILL HIS PLACE AS A HUSBAND OR FATHER, AS A CITIZEN, OR AS A MAN.

It is in the use of material things that a man finds FULL LIFE FOR HIS BODY, DEVELOPS HIS MIND, AND UNFOLDS HIS SOUL.
