"Truth?  What is Truth?"  Those were the questions posited by Pontius Pilate to the Great Master when he claimed after his arrest that he was a “witness to the truth.”  John 18:37.

“Truth?  What is Truth?” John 18:38

For regular visitors of this site, it is quite apparent that I have been “missing in action” for some time.  Indeed, my last post on this site is dated March 9, 2011 and it was the accompanying commentary to the free Success Ebook download for “The Law of Success – Lesson Fourteen: Failure” by Napoleon Hill.

As I noted in the last issue of the SuccessBeacon! Newsletter, which went out last week, in the words of the famous American author Mark Twain, it seems that the reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.  Well, maybe just “exaggerated.” 

Truth?  What is Truth?  Those were the questions posited by Pontius Pilate to the Great Master when he claimed after his arrest that he was a “witness to the truth.”  John 18:37.

In Latin, Quid est veritas? 

There is Truth – the real, honest-to-goodness objective Truth. Objective Truth is neither good nor bad – it just IS. On the other hand, there is “truth,” the subjective truth, the kind that is built upon beliefs, opinions, and distorted perceptions.

There is Truth – the real, honest-to-goodness objective Truth.  Objective Truth is neither good nor bad – it just IS.

On the other hand, there is “truth,” the subjective truth, the kind that is built upon beliefs, opinions, and distorted perceptions.  I was soon to learn a lesson of how awful personal “truths” can become.

I never gave much thought to how we all color our worlds by building our own set of “truths” to support our beliefs, opinions, biases, distorted perceptions, and worst of all, our emotions.  “Truth crafted around emotion?” you ask.  You bet.  “But – isn’t emotion based on Truth?”  Well . . . .  sometimes yes; many times – no.

Most of the time, what we believe is (objective) Truth is really (subjective) truth.  Having the guts to question ourselves and our beliefs is a task that most of us are unwilling to undertake, and so, we continue to live as though our concocted "truths" are, indeed, the Truth.  It is difficult to admit that we may be wrong, especially to ourselves.  It takes a wise person to question him or herself and take to task how our beliefs, opinions, perceptions, biases – and emotions – actually change objective Truth to distorted, inaccurate "truth," so that we may continue to live in our self-constructed world in which we are the center – and always right.

Imagine one beautiful, sunny morning that you are strolling down the street, enjoying the soft, gentle late spring breeze and the aroma of blossoming flowers, when, without warning, three police cars suddenly surround you in screeching halts.  Police officers jump out of their patrol cars, violently grab you, throw you to the ground, and place you under arrest.

You are a citizen of outstanding reputation, a professional, a family man with several children.  You are actively involved in the community and your church.  Having done nothing wrong and having lead a crime-free life all fifty years of your life, you are more than shocked.  In an effort to “survive” the ordeal, your mind switches to auto-function.  The world becomes dreamlike.  “This isn’t really happening to me,” you think to yourself, as the police throw you into the back of one of their patrol cars.

It is all surreal.  Too surreal.  The sweet aroma of hyacinths and daffodils is suddenly and starkly replaced by the pungent stench of sweat, stale coconut-scented car air-fresheners and the grimy hard-plastic backseat of a police car.  It is humid, 80 degrees outside and hot air is blasting full force from the car’s heater.  You struggle to breathe.  Panic sets in.  This isn’t real.

Your mind continues to do things to protect yourself from the reality of the trauma that you are experiencing.  It is as though you are watching a movie.

Yet, you cling to the notion that the Truth will set you free.  The Truth will come out and everything will be all right.  This is just a mistake.

Soon, you find out that someone allegedly identified you – yes, you – as the perpetrator of a crime.  Not just a crime, but a violent crime.  And, certainly, a crime that you did not commit.

And not just any “someone” – a “someone” that you know, love and trust.  How can this be?

Yet, you continue to cling to the notion that the Truth will set you free.  The Truth will come out and everything will be all right.  This is just an awful, horrible, HUGE mistake.

As an attorney who has been practicing law for almost 22 years, I have learned the indisputable – and unfortunate – reality that many innocent people are falsely accused every day in the United States for crimes they never committed.  And, much worse, that the wrongly or falsely accused are sometimes even convicted for crimes that they did not commit.

As an attorney who has been practicing law for almost 22 years, I have learned the indisputable – and unfortunate – reality that many innocent people are falsely accused every day in the United States for crimes they never committed.  And, much worse, that the wrongly or falsely accused are sometimes even convicted for crimes that they did not commit.

In my younger years, I believed that such things happened, but that they happened only rarely.  False accusations and convictions were, through my rose-colored glasses, primarily a concoction of liberal media and their college professor cohorts.  However, as the power of DNA evidence has demonstrated over the past twenty years, that is not the case.  Such things happen far, far more often than we are willing to admit (or at least I was unwilling to admit).

In this country, we like to think that our justice system is the best and fairest in the world – and I do believe that it is.  That, however, does not even come close to making it perfect.  And, perfect it is not.  It is very imperfect because it is premised upon imperfect, subject truth – not the real Truth, but rather, the kind that we make up in our heads.

Indeed, so many individuals have been wrongly and falsely accused – and convicted – that some states in this country have placed moratoriums on implementing death sentences.  Executions have been stayed or even converted to life sentences.  One wrong death sentence execution of an innocent person is one too many.  [Whether the death sentence is morally right is another question which is beyond the scope of this post].

 ___________________________________________  

The point is this: the scenario that I laid out at the beginning of this post is reality – a reality based on subjective “truth” that happens all of the time and nobody is immune from it.  My little hypothetical, after all, is not a hypothetical.  It can happen to anybody.

It can happen to you. 

It happened to my dear friend, Bob.  Bob Martin has been to hell and back.

Trust me, I know.

Okay, I know you are wondering – what does Bob’s tail of woe have to do with achieving Success and the Success Manual site.  Well, it has a lot to do with it.  Stay with me over the next several posts as you learn more about what happened to Bob – and how God draws out the good from even the worst of matters.

Until next time . . . .

Peace Out, and - Namasté!

Finally, after what has seemed an eternity and a relentless deluge of challenges and obstacles, we are putting the finishing touches and running the final tests on The Success Manual Prosperity Library web site, featuring The Wattles Prosperity Bible, The Law of Attraction Prosperity Bible and The Wattles Quotable Bible.

If I was not a Student of Success - as was the case in my prior life - I would have called this venture "a nightmare."  In fact, most people who are personally aware of the trials that we have gone through to make this become a reality see it as that - "what a nightmare!"  I don't.  This challenge was an enormous test of the very principles and teachings to which I subscribe.

If I gave up, quite, walked away - now, that would be failure.  Not temporary defeat, but failure, and I would have nobody to blame but myself.

Foreword

The Wattles Prosperity Bible

 A Five Volume Compilation of the Works of Wallace D. Wattles

Richard A. Catalina, Jr., Esq.

When Wallace Delois Wattles was growing up in the post-Civil War America, the country was undergoing major changes in the political, economic and social arenas.

While the South was rebuilding its battered infrastructure, the North, where Wattles lived, was prospering, both industrially and agriculturally.  This period, known as the Second Industrial Revolution, began in the mid-19^th century, with the growth and expansion of steel, petroleum, as well as chemical and electrical sectors; railways and steam ship industry also thrived in the still- young nation.

In fact, by the time the 19^th century came to a close and the new one dawned, corporate giants such as U.S. Steel and General Electric spawned the legendary tycoons by the names of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew P. Mellon, and J.P. Morgan, among other renowned and often notorious wheelers and dealers of that era.

The extravagant lifestyles of these super-rich industrialists and financiers – which prompted Mark Twain to coin the phrase “Gilded Age” to describe the excesses of the wealthy people in the second half of the 1800s – did not, however, reflect the grim living conditions of the working class.   Historical records show that in 1890, when Wattles was 30, 11 million of America’s 12 million families earned less than $1,200 a year, with the average annual income of $380, well below the poverty line. 

Wallace Delois Wattles: Law of Attraction Sage, Author and Teacher and Master of Success and Prosperity. Mr. Wattles' teachings were a driving force behind Rhonda Byrne's book, "The Secret." How much so? The first time she read "The Science of Getting Rich," she cried!

Not much is known today about Wattles’ life and family, but from the information that is available to us we can surmise that he was born into that modest – not to say poverty-stricken – milieu like the vast majority of his countrymen. 

We cannot say with any certainty that he was inspired by the well-heeled tycoons of the era, but we do know that he turned the art of getting rich into a science.

His philosophy about wealth is succinctly summed up in this quote: “Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.”

*******

Putting together Wattles’ biography is a challenging task because very little is known about him.   Whether this dearth was a matter of modesty and humility or merely poor record-keeping we cannot guess, but anyone attempting to research Wattles’ life will hit a brick wall riddled with many gaps and holes.  For instance, his schooling remains a mystery, as does his family.  We know that he had a daughter, Florence, but have no information about his wife.  We also know that early on he worked on a farm and later as a lecturer in Indiana, as well as in some capacity at a Methodist Church, but have no clue about any other jobs he might have held.  We know he died young – at 51 – of “frail” health, but possess no details of what illness he suffered from.  He was a prolific writer, publishing scores of articles, essays and books.  Many of the articles and essays were published as compilations; others as single articles. However, specific details as to many of his published works are few.

What little we do know about his childhood and later life can be gleaned from the letters Florence wrote to Wattles’ publisher, Elizabeth Towne.   From those letters we can construct a sketchy portrait of a compassionate and caring man of profound convictions, and a prolific writer who believed his ideas would transform people’s lives.

Although Wattles remains – given the scarcity of information about him – somewhat of an enigma, he wrote some of the most powerful self-help books ever published.  As a matter of fact, the young farm boy grew up to be a trailblazer in the area of wealth-building, personal empowerment and success, a field that, while in its infancy during Wattles’ lifetime, blossomed as the “New Thought” era, and which today is a billion-dollar industry.  Indeed, the “self improvement” market in the U.S. alone is estimated as worth more than $13.9 billion in 2010.[1]

******

In a way, Wallace Delois Wattles’ life is a quintessential rags-to-riches story. 

He was born in 1860 in Illinois, and later lived in Indiana.  According to the 1880 US Federal Census, young Wallace was probably the only child of a gardener and a housewife.  He lived with his parents on a farm in Nunda Township, McHenry County, Illinois.  With little formal education, he spent his early years toiling as a farm laborer.  In those days, life on a farm was dismal, requiring long hours of backbreaking labor.  Even though new farm equipment was invented and introduced during that period, horses, oxen and people still provided the power that fueled the machines. 

Eking out a living from a farm, which relied heavily on weather-dependant crops, was a challenge then, as it is, though maybe to a lesser degree, now.   We do not know for sure whether this was the only work Wattles did in his youth, but his life at the time is reported to have been one of poverty, hardship, and failure.  We will never know for certain, but perhaps this strife had sparked Wattles’ desire to become successful and rich and to understand proper and healthy living. 

One of Florence’s messages to Mrs. Towne provides some insight into what drove her father to overcome his humble beginnings and ultimately led him to pen a series of highly successful self-help books:   “For years his life was cursed by poverty and the fear of poverty.  He was always scheming and planning to get for his family those things, which make the abundant life possible.”

*******

In 1896, the 36-year-old Midwesterner attended a “convention of reformers” in Chicago, where he met George Davis Herron.   Two years Wattles’ junior, Herron was a controversial Congregational Church minister and professor of Applied Christianity at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, where he attracted attention for his radical religious views, namely a new philosophy called Christian Socialism.  A movement that originated in the mid-19th-century Europe, it combined the fundamentals of Socialism with the principles of Christianity as a means of helping the poor.

Florence wrote to Mrs. Towne that her father caught Herron’s social vision.  “I shall never forget the morning he came home,” she related.  “It was Christmas.  Mother had put her last dollar into a cuff box and we had placed it beneath an evergreen branch which served for our Christmas tree and which we had illuminated with tallow candles and strung with popcorn.  Finally Father came.  With that beautiful smile he praised the tree, said the cuff box was just what he had been wanting - and took us all in his arms to tell us of the wonderful social message of Jesus, the message which he later embodied in ‘A New Christ.’ From that day until his death he worked unceasingly to realize the glorious vision of human brotherhood.”

According to Florence, at one time her father had held a position in the Methodist Church, but was fired because of his “heresy,” possibly the Christian Socialism views, which were not quite compatible with the mainstream Christianity.  Two of his books, “A New Christ” and “Jesus: The Man and His Work” focused on Christianity from a Socialist perspective.  As a matter of fact, Wattles was so involved in the movement, that he twice ran as a Socialist candidate for two public offices:  in the Eighth Congressional District in 1908, and two years later, for the office of Prosecuting Attorney for Indiana’s Madison County’s 50th court district.  He lost both elections, but Florence became a delegate to the Socialist Party National Committee in 1912 and 1915.

******* 

Another new spiritual movement that Wattles embraced with zeal and conviction, and which had, in large measure, influenced his thinking and writing, was called New Thought.  This movement started to emerge in the second half of the 19^th century, at about the same time as Christian Socialism.

This was a turning point for Wattles, the moment that likely re-defined and re-directed his life to some degree. 

The movement, which remains active to this day, promotes the idea that all of life’s circumstances and events, whether positive or negative, be they physical or mental in nature, originate in the mind as a consequence of our thinking and beliefs, and, therefore, “right thinking” can change our lives positively. 

Like many thinkers and philosophers from a variety of churches and religious denominations, and even some secular groups and individuals as well, Wattles became a proponent of these metaphysical tenets relating to the power of positive thinking, the law of attraction, creative visualization, and other essential life forces that formed the basis of his beliefs and writings.  Today the self-improvement and personal growth industry is a thriving, multi-billion-dollar sector, but in Wattles’ time it was still in its nascent stages.   The New Thought movement, however, marked an important milestone in the development of the self-help phenomenon.

Because of the unbridled optimism, positive energy, and personal empowerment inherent to the New Thought principles, Wattles, along with his contemporaries like Napoleon Hill, Frank Channing Haddock, Thomas Troward, William Walker Atkinson, and, a bit later, Dale Carnegie, had become one of the earliest self-help pioneers – people who believed in improving themselves and all the aspects of their lives by harvesting their spiritual and inner strengths.  Essentially, the mind can achieve whatever it can conceive.

Wattles’ brand of motivational self-improvement philosophy is best expressed in this quote of his: “The scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want; in holding fast to the purpose to get what you want; and in realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you want.”

Wattles discovered an outlet for his ideas in Nautilus, a magazine for New Thought writers founded in 1898 by Elizabeth Towne.  In it, Wattles found a fitting forum to advance his ideas and foster his writing skills.  As Florence explained: “When we came to Elwood (Indiana) three years ago, Father began a Sunday night lectureship in Indianapolis.  This was our only source of income.  Later he began to write for Nautilus and to word out his own philosophy.  He wrote almost constantly.  Then it was that he formed his mental picture.  He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision.”

Wattles applied the New Thought principles to his own life through personal experimentation.  For example, he tested some of the health and food fads fashionable at that time, such as the “No Breakfast Plan,” before encouraging his readers to try out his theories on themselves. 

How a poor man with little education was able to form such a far-reaching vision and bring it to fruition with numerous books remains a mystery.  What is certain is that his works, at least by some assessments, are among the most powerful personal improvement books ever written.   

While Wattles authored numerous works, his best-known are likely the trilogy of “The Science of Being Rich” (1910), “The Science of Being Well” (1910) and “The Science of Being Great” (1911).  All three are fitting examples of self-improvement and personal success theories he had become known for, as demonstrated in Florence’s letter to Mrs.  Towne: “The supreme faith of the man never left him; never for a moment did he lose confidence in the power of the master Intelligence to right every wrong and to give to every man and woman his or her share of the good things of life.”

*******

“The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way.  Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich.  Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.”

The above quote is a paragraph from Chapter 2 of Wattles’ “The Science of Getting Rich,” a forerunner of every personal finance and self-help book ever written.  His statement that this pragmatic text is “intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward,” rings as true in the second decade of the 21^st century as it did when it was first published 100 years ago.  

Incredibly, there exists today million dollar self-help businesses founded solely on “The Science of Getting Rich.”

While many people believe that amassing wealth is a matter of hard work, luck, or a combination of both, Wattles promoted a more scientific approach.  “There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic,” he famously noted.  “There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty.”

“The Science of Getting Rich,” still widely read and highly acclaimed today, laid ground for “The Science of Being Great,” in which Wattles stated that “Greatness is equally inherent in all, and may be manifested by all.  Every person may become great.”

The inspirational and motivational message is also clear in “The Science of Being Well,” where Wattles writes that the work is directed at “those who want health, and who want a practical guide and handbook, not a philosophical treatise.  It is an instructor in the use of the universal Principle of Life, and my effort has been to explain the way in so plain and simple a fashion that the reader, though he may have given no previous study to New Thought or metaphysics, may readily follow it to perfect health.  While retaining all essentials, I have carefully eliminated all non-essentials; I have used no technical, abstruse, or difficult language, and have kept the one point in view at all times.”   

The question that arises is whether Wattles successfully applied his New Thought beliefs and theories on how an average person can become rich, happy and healthy regardless of his or her circumstances to his own life.  From Florence’s correspondence to Mrs. Towne it would appear that he did.  Before his death in 1911 at 51, Florence reported that “he made lots of money, and had good health, except for his extreme frailty.”

There is no information on how many “regular” people who read Wattles’ works in the past century had been influenced by his message.  We do know, however, that the Australian New Thought writer Rhonda Byrne said her inspiration for the hit 2006 movie, “The Secret,” as well as the same-titled book, came from Wattles’ “The Science of Getting Rich.”  When she first opened the book in 2004, Byrne relates on her website, “Something inside of me had me turn the pages one by one, and I can still remember my tears hitting the pages as I was reading it.  It gave me a glimpse of The Secret and it was like a flame inside of my heart.” 

So in the end, the little-known life of Wallace Delois Wattles was, in many ways, a quintessentially American story of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps, succeeding against all odds, and influencing the lives of others.  In the words of his daughter Florence, “His life was truly the powerful life.”

I look forward to meeting everyone – in person or online.  Remember, as Napoleon Hill once stated, “If you can think it, you can achieve it.”  Let nothing stand in your way – particularly, yourself.  The only limitations in Life are those that are self-imposed.  It is your Life, you are the Director.  You can make anything of it that you truly desire.

Welcome to SuccessManual.  May the Force be with you!

“The world can change in an instant.  So can the way you choose to see it.  Why not choose to see the good in yourself and others.”
