The acquiring of money and property, once begun, is a simple and easy process; growing rich comes through habits that are such fixed parts of one’s daily life that, once on the road to wealth, it would be quite difficult, if not wholly impossible, to stop the growth.  The responsibility and the result lie with each individual and the thoughts and actions that he or she chooses.  Each living person chooses – and each hour that passes fixes his or her choice deeper and deeper in the individual's daily life.

Free Success Ebook: "The Secret of Wealth" by Franklyn Hobbs (1923) Success Manual Strategist Edition 2010

DOWNLOAD FREE SUCCESS EBOOK: "The Secret of Wealth" by Franklyn Hobbs (1923) - Success Manual Strategist Edition 2010

When reading many of  these older classic Success Manuals, I am astounded by how often the words of wisdom in these books directly apply to our present times.  Many of the classic Success Manuals were written 80-100 years ago; yet, when reading them, one would believe that they were written only recently, since the message of the word is so appropriate to our present world and the economic conditions that encompass it.

So it is with "The Secret of Wealth" by Franklyn Hobbs.  If you enjoyed "The Way to Wealth" by Benjamin Franklin, written in 1757, then you will love this work by Hobbs.  This Franklyn picks up where the prior Franklin left off.

The premise of The Secret of Wealth by Franklyn Hobbs is simple: The vast majority of individuals who become wealthy do so NOT through single, spectacular, "home runs" (think "get rich quick"), but rather, through small, steady and consistent acts, which, over time, the accumulative effect generates wealth.

Hobbs is right.  Yes, there are some people who are in that right place at the right time - not by "luck," but through action, diligence, planning and all of the other factors that we discuss on this site - who do make a "killing" in futures trading after years and years of learning and losses, or who write that once-in-a-lifetime best selling series that sells millions and millions of copies (after writing numerous books, the royalties of which barely cover the rent), or that musical group that finally "hits it big" after 12 long, hard years on the road playing in dive bars and living on boxed macaroni and cheese and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.  It does happen.  But, what are the chances?  Since most give up anyways, the likelihood of generating enormous wealth and holding onto it through a single event are miniscule.

The fact is that it comes down to what we do day-in and day-out.  How much do we really waste?  Do we buy material things because we truly need or want them, or do we buy them because it is fashionable and we need to keep up with what is in style, or worse, because we feel compelled to "keep up with the 'Joneses.'"  As Hobbs points out, the truly wealthy didn't live a life of extravagance BEFORE they accumulated great wealth.  They lived modestly, within their means - AND SAVED, NOT SPENT, THE MONEY THEY EARNED!

Let's see.  How much is the US federal government's debt?  Let's go to an amazing site: The US Debt Clock.

As of this writing, the U.S. federal debt is approximately $13.5 TRILLION Dollars.  That equates with approximately $43,233 for every U.S. citizen, or $120,761 for every U.S. taxpayer.

The purpose of this post is not to assess blame, determine who or what party is at fault, or play politics.  It is simply to point out that our own governement cannot live within its means.  And, we are not alone - many governments in the world are in the same or similar (or worse) predicaments.

This mindset permeates right down through state and municipal governements to the citizens and taxpayers of this country.  Our personal debt is out of control.  Take a look at The US Debt Clock again: the personal debt in the United States is an unfathomable $16.2 TRILLION Dollars!  There is no way - absolutely NO way - that anyone can accumulate wealth as long as they continue to live in a "borrow and spend" mentality.  That includes our government.  And, it includes us.

Friends - we MUST take control of our financial lives!  Because if we don't, certainly nobody else will.  And certainly we will never accumulate wealth unless we change our mindsets and work at the basics.  It seems everyone these days is trying to hit the game-winning, grandslam home run, but they don't know how the game of baseball is even played and they have never taken batting practice.

My pontificating is done, which brings us back full circle to The Secret of Wealth by Franklyn Hobbs.  Download it and start reading it today - there is no time to waste!  As the old Chinese Proverb states: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago; the second best time is now."

Happy Wealth!

Until next time . . . .

Peace Out, and - Namasté!

To your Health, Wealth, Prosperity and Success,

Today's addition to The Success Manual FREE Download Library is perfect for the occasion.  On Sunday, July 4, the United States of America celebrated Independence Day, when our forefathers, including the charismatic, lovable and simply witty Benjamin Franklin, signed off on the Declaration of Independence, thereby declaring that the thirteen Colonies were dependent from and no longer subject to the rule of the English crown.  And, tomorrow, July 7, marks the 253rd anniversary of the publishing of "The Way to Wealth" written by - you guessed it - Mr. Franklin himself.  And, so, it is with great pleasure that we offer to you the Success Manual Strategist Edition of Franklin's The Way to Wealth - with all of its wit and charm.

Benjamin Franklin: Lovable, charismatic, clever and witty - and gracing the $100 bill.

  ____________________________________________________________

Everyone loves Ben.  How can you not?  With humor and cleverness, he has a quip for almost every circumstance - so many, in fact, that most probably are not even aware that Ben is the source of many of his proverbs that are still in common use today.  Moreover, Benjamin Franklin is the person that the U.S. government selected long ago to grace its most notable currency: the coveted $100 dollar bill.

I would love to hang out with Ben Franklin and pick his brain for pearls of wisdom (and, of course, humor).  I think it would be a blast to sit with him in a colonial pub and quaff down a few Sams.

Too bad we don't have more from Ben.  But, we do have The Way to Wealth, which incorporates some of "the best" of his Poor Richard's Almanac.

The Way to Wealth is a short, witty read.  Download and enjoy!

Until next time, my Friends, many Blessings, Peace - and Namaste!

"Rich people play the money game to Win.  Poor people play the money game to NOT lose.  Let me ask you: If you were to play any sport or any game strictly on defense, what are the chances of your winning that game?  Most people would agree, slim and none.  The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and abundance."  T. Harv Ecker from "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth"

  ____________________________________________________________

Success KEY: Play to WIN - Don't Play to "Not Lose"

I have been a New York Giants football fan for most of my life.  I have seen Big Blue at their best and I have seen them play at their absolute worst.  They have won three Super Bowl championships and they have failed miserably - as they did this year when they lost 8 of their last 11 games and failed to make the playoffs after starting the season by winning their first 5 games.

Over the years, while watching my beloved G-Men win and lose, I - like may football aficionados - have closely studied their game strategies.  True lovers of professional football who watch the games and study the offensive and defensive plans and game strategies will come to see two diametrically opposed plans of attack: some teams clearly play to WIN, while other teams simply play to "not lose."

While both strategies seemingly may get you to the same place (winning the game), and in the short NFL season, a win is a win is a win, and all teams will take a win however it may come, the game plan of "playing to WIN" is very, very different than the game plan of "playing to not lose."  Both strategic approaches apply to the Game of Success, and the plan that you implement in your game may well determine whether you Succeed.

When you play to "not lose," at best you are merely playing to SURVIVE.  When you play to WIN, however, you put everything on the line and play to THRIVE.  "Surviving" and "thriving" are different animals.

What is the game plan of playing to "not lose?" It is an extremely conservative strategy.  It involves taking no risks and no chances.  It is playing from the vantage point of your comfort zone.  It is non-committal.  It is premised on FEAR and LACK OF CONFIDENCE in your own abilities to Succeed, regardless of the circumstances.  It is defensive, not offensive.  It allows for numerous exits for retreat "just in case."

Consider.  When the Giants play "not to lose," it is usually when they hold a slight lead in a tough game and the game is in the 4th quarter.  Rather than continue to push hard and aggressively move the ball and play to score (isn't that the object: scoring points?), they settle back, hold onto the ball, and try to work down the clock.  Why?  Because they essentially lack the confidence in themselves.  By implementing a "play not to lose" mentality, the coaching staff effectively telegraphs to the team that they lack confidence in their ability to move the ball, that if they push hard they are apt to make a costly mistake, and that if they fall behind, they will be unable to stage a comeback and beat the opposition.  If that isn't a defeatist attitude, I don't know what is. 

When you play to "not lose" in the game of Success it is no different.  Instead of playing with abandon and commitment, you play merely to hold onto what you already have.  You play to survive.  You play to "get by."  You play to have "just enough" and make a "comfortable living."  When you play to "not lose," you are not pushing to WIN, you are not seeking to SCORE.  The object of the game - whether football or Success - is to put POINTS ON THE BOARD.

Lake of the Clouds Hut in Winter, The Presidential Range, NH, February 2008

In his master Success Classic, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill explains the concept skillfully, using brilliant real life analogies.  When a would be associate of inventor Thomas A. Edison showed up at Edison's door - with the goal of becoming a partner of Edison - Edwin C. Barnes left himself no safety valve, no option for retreat.  He either had to do whatever it took to eventually become a partner of Edison's or he had to die trying.  As Hill states:

[Barnes] did not say, "I will keep my eyes open for another opportunity in case I fail to get what I want in the Edison organization."  He said, "There is but ONE thing in the world that I am determined to have, and that is a business association with Thomas A. Edison.  I will burn all bridges behind me and stake my ENTIRE FUTURE on my ability to get what I want."

He left himself no possible way of retreat.  He had to win or perish!

In yet another tale from Think and Grow Rich, Hill tells the story of a great warrior from long ago whose army was greatly outnumbered by the enemy.  The warrior loaded his soldiers onto a boat, sailed to the enemy's country, unloaded soldiers and equipment - and then ordered his men to burn their ships - and they did!  Addressing his troops before the battle while they watched their  ships going up in smoke, the warrior told them, "We cannot leave these shores alive unless we win.  We now have no choice. We either win - or we perish!"  They won.

Those who would win and achieve Success - in any endeavor - must be willing to "burn their ships," cut all sources of retreat and commit without recourse.  Only by so doing can you maintain that state of mind necessary to Succeed.  It is really a matter of Desire and Intention.  When you play to "not lose," your Desire and Intention are woefully insufficient and lack the requisite strength and power to carry you to that which you merely wish ("wishing" and "desiring" are very different states of mind).  Playing to "not lose" is only playing the game to "survive" long enough until the clock hits zero, with the hope that what you have is enough.  Well, when you only play to survive, that is all that you will get.  On the other hand, when you play to WIN - and play it the way it should be played - your level of Desire, Intention and Commitment are strong, your Will is empowered and you either WIN or perish in the cause.  With so much at stake, there is really only one possible outcome: Success.

What is your game strategy?

The Right to be Rich 

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles (1910) SUCCESS MANUAL STRATEGIST EDITION 2010

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.  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.

A man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.

The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.

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.

In this book, I shall not speak of riches in a figurative way; to be really rich does not mean to be satisfied or contented with a little.  No man ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more.  The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power, elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.

The man who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich; and no man who has not plenty of money can have all he wants.  Life has advanced so far, and become so complex, that even the most ordinary man or woman requires a great amount of wealth in order to live in a manner that even approaches completeness.  Every person naturally wants to become all that they are capable of becoming; this desire to realize innate possibilities is inherent in human nature; we cannot help wanting to be all that we can be.  Success in life is becoming what you want 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.  To understand the science of getting rich is therefore the most essential of all knowledge.

The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power, elegance, beauty, and richness of life.

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich.  The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy.  The man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.

There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul.  No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three - body, mind, or soul - can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression.  It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or 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.  Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire.  Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.

Wherever there is unexpressed possibility, or function not performed, there is unsatisfied desire.  Desire is possibility seeking expression, or function seeking performance.

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.

By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it. Whatever your action is to be, it is evident that you must act NOW. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now.  If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin NOW.

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.  It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.

It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help doing so.  It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all studies.  If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.

Did you know that living in a state of Gratitude can be one of the most powerful Keys to Success?  There is a Law of Gratitude, and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law, if you are to achieve the Success that you seek.  Giving thanks and maintaining an honest and sincere Attitude of Gratitude is a surefire way to turbo-charge your Success Path and achieve the Success you Desire.  Today's post in the SuccessManual Strategist is on one of the most powerful Success Keys: The Attitude of Gratitude.

Dusty Spiral Galaxy NGC 4414, approximately 60 million light years distant from Earth.

Having just enjoyed a warm Thanksgiving holiday weekend with family and friends, it only seems fit to devote a little attention in this issue of the SuccessManual Strategist to one of the most powerful Success Keys: the “Attitude of Gratitude.”

In our drive to grow and achieve Success in any endeavor – to be, do and have more – being grateful for who we are, where we are at, and all other aspects of our lives, i.e., living in a state of gratitude, receives far too little attention.  We often tend to focus too much on our Success objectives, while taking too little time, as is often stated, to “stop and smell the flowers.”  Yes, we must never lose sight of our Success Goal; but we also must remember at all times what is really important and what this Life is all about.

Did you know that living in a state of Gratitude can be one of the most powerful Keys to Success?

It’s true.  First, on a fundamental level, not being grateful for what you already have creates a mindset of lack and limitation – an instant killer to your Success Strategies.  Please take note that this is different than the reverse side of this principle, called “discontent,” or more appropriately, “Divine Discontent.”  Not being content with your present circumstances, i.e., Divine Discontent (a good thing for your SuccessManual), is not the same as being ungrateful (not a good thing).  Do not confuse the two principles.  One may embrace, unconditionally, the Attitude of Gratitude while simultaneously living in a state of Divine Discontent.  Indeed, these two principles resonate.  They supplement each other to create a powerful Success drive.

There is a Law of Gratitude, and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law, if you are to get the results you seek. - Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich

Confused?  More on Divine Discontent in future posts.  For right now, simply look at it as living in a state of Growth: the seed is not content only being  a seed, the sprout is not content only being a sprout, the seedling is not content only being a seedling, the sapling is not content only being a sapling, the small, young tree is not content only being a small young tree, and so forth.  In each case, the life state of the tree is one of gratefulness for life, but the Divinity of the Universe is to bring forth Growth.  When we become merely “content,” we stop growing.  Well, if we don’t grow, we begin to die.  There is no in between.  Growth leads to Success.  There is no other way.  Think about that.  We must grow out of our present selves in order to achieve Success.

Second, and perhaps more practical, is that stopping to consider our “Gratitudes,” is an incredibly powerful mechanism of breaking through those periods where Success seems so elusive.  When doubt, worry and other negative emotions begin to take over and when “failure” (whatever that means) appears through our perception of the outer world to be our imminent result, taking the time to stop and reflect on what we should be grateful for is the most powerful weapon to break out and through such a negative state and pull us back on track.  God, the Creator, loves thankfulness and having an Attitude of Gratitude realigns our Spirit to do what God intends that we do: to Grow and achieve Success.

Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took; how He always seems to be saying, "I thank Thee, Father, that Thou hearest me." You cannot exercise much power without gratitude; for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with Power. - Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich

The next time you feel really “stuck” in any endeavor, stop and find an hour to go off by yourself with a pen and your SuccessManual and begin writing your Gratitudes.  What are you truly grateful for?  Start with the fact that you are alive, because when your heart stops beating, that's it.  Look around you for the good in yourself, in everyone and everything, and be darn grateful for it.  For each one of us, no matter what our personal life events and circumstances may be, the fact is that there is enormous good – in fact, Greatness – all around us.  Giving thanks for that Greatness and maintaing an honest and sincere Attitude of Gratitude is a surefire way to turbo-charge your Success path and achieve the Success you desire.

Let’s end this SuccessStrategist Success Key with few excerpts from Chapter 7 of The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, appropriately entitled “Gratitude.”  (Later today, we will be posting all of Chapter 7 within the SuccessStrategist and will make the entire ebook available for download for no cost.  Hey, be grateful for a free book!).

There is a Law of Gratitude, and it is absolutely necessary that you should observe the law, if you are to get the results you seek.

Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took; how He always seems to be saying, "I thank Thee, Father, that Thou hearest me." You cannot exercise much power without gratitude; for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with Power.

Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.

The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean; and your mind takes the form of these things.

To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things.

On the other hand, to fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best, and to become the best.

The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.

And now for Chapter 1:

 Chapter 1

The Law of Attraction in the Thought World
 
THE Universe is governed by Law – one great Law.  Its manifestations are multiform, but viewed from the Ultimate there is but one Law.  We are familiar with some of its manifestations, but are almost totally ignorant of certain others.  Still we are learning a little more every day – the veil is being gradually lifted.

We speak learnedly of the Law of Gravitation, but ignore that equally wonderful manifestation, THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IN THE THOUGHT WORLD.  We are familiar with that wonderful manifestation of Law which draws and holds together the atoms of which matter is composed – we recognize the power of the law that attracts bodies to the earth, that holds the circling worlds in their places, but we close our eyes to the mighty law that draws to us the things we desire or fear, that makes or mars our lives.

When we come to see that Thought is a force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the why and wherefore of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us.  There is no study that will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings of this mighty law of the world of Thought – the Law of Attraction.

When we come to see that Thought is a force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the why and wherefore of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us.  There is no study that will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings of this mighty law of the world of Thought – the Law of Attraction.

When we think we send out vibrations of a fine ethereal substance, which are as real as the vibrations manifesting light, heat, electricity, magnetism.  That these vibrations are not evident to our five senses is no proof that they do not exist.  A powerful magnet will send out vibrations and exert a force sufficient to attract to itself a piece of steel weighing a hundred pounds, but we can neither see, taste, smell, hear nor feel the mighty force.

These thought vibrations, likewise, cannot be seen, tasted, smelled, heard nor felt in the ordinary way; although it is true there are on record cases of persons peculiarly sensitive to psychic impressions who have perceived powerful thought-waves, and very many of us can testify that we have distinctly felt the thought vibrations of others, both whilst in the presence of the sender and at a distance.  Telepathy and its kindred phenomena are not idle dreams.

Light and heat are manifested by vibrations of a far lower intensity than those of Thought, but the difference is solely in the rate of vibration.  The annals of science throw an interesting light upon this question.  Prof. Elisha Gray, an eminent scientist, says in his little book, “The Miracles of Nature”:

“There is much food for speculation in the thought that there exist sound-waves that no human ear can hear, and color-waves of light that no eye can see.  The long, dark, soundless space between 40,000 and 400,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, and the infinity of range beyond 700,000,000,000,000 vibrations per second, where light ceases, in the universe of motion, makes it possible to indulge in speculation.”

M. M. Williams, in his work entitled “Short Chapters in Science,” says:

“There is no gradation between the most rapid undulations or tremblings that produce our sensation of sound, and the slowest of those which give rise to our sensations of gentlest warmth.  There is a huge gap between them, wide enough to include another world of motion, all lying between our world of sound and our world of heat and light; and there is no good reason whatever for supposing that matter is incapable of such intermediate activity, or that such activity may not give rise to intermediate sensations, provided there are organs for taking up and sensifying their movements.”

I cite the above authorities merely to give you food for thought, not to attempt to demonstrate to you the fact that thought vibrations exist.  The last-named fact has been fully established to the satisfaction of numerous investigators of the subject, and a little reflection will show you that it coincides with your own experiences.

We often hear repeated the well-known Mental Science statement, “Thoughts are Things,” and we say these words over without consciously realizing just that is the meaning of the statement.  If we fully comprehended the truth of the statement and the natural consequences of the truth back of it, we should understand many things which have appeared dark to us, and would be able to use the wonderful power, Thought Force, just as we use any other manifestation of Energy.

As I have said, when we think we set into motion vibrations of a very high degree, but just as real as the vibrations of light, heat, sound, electricity.  And when we understand the laws governing the production and transmission of these vibrations we will be able to use them in our daily life, just as we do the better known forms of energy.  That we cannot see, hear, weigh or measure these vibrations is no proof that they do not exist.  There exist waves of sound which no human ear can hear, although some of these are undoubtedly registered by the ear of some of the insects, and others are caught by delicate scientific instruments invented by man; yet there is a great gap between the sounds registered by the most delicate instrument and the limit which man’s mind, reasoning by analogy, knows to be the boundary line between sound waves and some other forms of vibration.  And there are light waves which the eye of man does not register, some of which may be detected by more delicate instruments, and many more so fine that the instrument has not yet been invented which will detect them, although improvements are being made every year and the unexplored field gradually lessened.

As new instruments are invented, new vibrations are registered by them – and yet the vibrations were just as real before the invention of the instrument as afterward.  Supposing that we had no instruments to register magnetism – one might be justified in denying the existence of that mighty force, because it could not be tasted, felt, smelt, heard, seen, weighted or measured.  And yet the mighty magnet would still send out waves of force sufficient to draw to it pieces of steel weighing hundreds of pounds.

Each form of vibration requires its own form of instrument for registration.  At present the human brain seems to be the only instrument capable of registering thought waves, although occultists say that in this century scientists will invent apparatus sufficiently delicate to catch and register such impressions.  And from present indications it looks as if the invention named might be expected at any time.  The demand exists and undoubtedly will be soon supplied.  But to those who have experimented along the lines of practical telepathy no further proof is required than the results of their own experiments.

We are sending out thoughts of greater or less intensity all the time, and we are reaping the results of such thoughts.  Not only do our thought waves influence ourselves and others, but they have a drawing power – they attract to us the thoughts of others, things, circumstances, people, “luck,” in accord with the character of the thought uppermost in our minds. 

Thoughts of Love will attract to us the Love of others; circumstances and surroundings in accord with the thought; people who are of like thought.  Thoughts of Anger, Hate, Envy, Malice and Jealousy will draw to us the foul brood of kindred thoughts emanating from the minds of others; circumstances in which we will be called upon to manifest these vile thoughts and will receive them in turn from others; people who will manifest in harmony; and so on.  A strong thought or a thought long continued, will make us the center of attraction for the corresponding thought waves of others.  Like attracts like in the Thought World – as ye sow so shall ye reap.  Birds of a feather flock together in the Thought World – curses like chickens come home to roost, and bringing their friends with them.

The man or woman who is filled with Love sees Love on all sides and attracts the Love of others.  The man with hate in his heart gets all the Hate he can stand.  The man who thinks Fight generally runs up against all the Fight he wants before he gets through.  And so it goes, each gets what he calls for over the wireless telegraphy of the Mind.  The man who rises in the morning feeling “grumpy” usually manages to have the whole family in the same mood before the breakfast is over.  The “nagging” woman generally finds enough to gratify her “nagging” propensity during the day.

This matter of Thought Attraction is a serious one.

This matter of Thought Attraction is a serious one.  When you stop to think of it you will see that a man really makes his own surroundings, although he blames others for it.  I have known people who understood this law to hold a positive, calm thought and be absolutely unaffected by the in-harmony surrounding them.  They were like the vessel from which the oil had been poured on the troubled waters – they rested safely and calmly whilst the tempest raged around them.  One is not at the mercy of the fitful storms of Thought after he has learned the workings of the Law.

We have passed through the age of physical force on to the age of intellectual supremacy, and are now entering a new and almost unknown field, that of psychic power.  This field has its established laws and we should acquaint ourselves with them or we will be crowded to the wall as are the ignorant on the planes of effort.  I will endeavor to make plain to you the great underlying principles of this new field of energy which is opening up before us, that you may be able to make use of this great power and apply it for legitimate and worthy purposes, just as men are using steam, electricity and other forms of energy today.

William Walker Atkinson (December 5, 1862 – November 22, 1932) was an attorney, merchant, publisher, and author, as well as an American pioneer of the New Thought movement.  He is also known to have been the author of a large body of pseudonymous works, including, among others, numerous books and other works attributed to the authors Theron Q. Dumont and Yogi Ramacharaka.

William Walker Atkinson

Atkinson wrote more than 100 books in the last 30 years of his life, and his works have remained substantially in print continuously since 1900.  He is regarded as one of the true greats of the New Thought movement.  Due to his intense personal secrecy, coupled with his extensive use of pseudonyms, however, Atkinson has largely been forgotten in modern day, despite having obtained mention in past editions of Who’s Who in America, Religious Leaders of America, and several similar publications.William Walker Atkinson was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 5, 1862, to William and Emma Atkinson.  He began his working life as a grocer at 15 years old, probably helping his father.  He married Margret Foster Black of Beverley, New Jersey,  in October 1889 and they had two children.  

Atkinson pursued a business career from 1882 onwards and in 1894 he was admitted as an attorney to the Bar of Pennsylvania.  While he gained much material success in his profession as a lawyer, the stress and over-strain eventually took its toll, and during this time he experienced a complete physical and mental breakdown, and financial disaster.  He looked for healing and in the late 1880s he found it with New Thought and later attributed to the application of the principles of New Thought his health, mental vigor and material prosperity. 

When we come to see that Thought is a force – a manifestation of energy – having a magnet-like power of attraction, we will begin to understand the why and wherefore of many things that have heretofore seemed dark to us.  There is no study that will so well repay the student for his time and trouble as the study of the workings of this mighty law of the world of Thought – the Law of Attraction. - William W. Atkinson, Thought Vibration (1906) 

Some time after his healing, Atkinson began to write articles on the truths he felt he had discovered, which were then known as “Mental Science.” 

In 1889 an article by him entitled “A Mental Science Catechism,” appeared in Charles Fillmore’s new periodical, Modern Thought. 

By the early 1890’s Chicago had become a major center for New Thought, mainly through the work of Emma Curtis Hopkins.  As a result, Atkinson decided to move there and he became an active promoter of the movement as an editor and author.  In 1900, he worked as an associate editor of Suggestion, a New Thought journal, and wrote his first book, Thought-Force in Business and Everyday Life. 

In 1903, Atkinson was admitted to the Bar of Illinois.  That same year, he began his pseudonym writing career by first writing under the name Yogi Ramacharaka.  There is no written account documenting Atkinson’s motivation for his extensive pseudonym work.  Speculation is that perhaps it was a desire to protect his ongoing career as a lawyer that led him to adopt so many pseudonyms.  How much time Atkinson devoted to his law practice after moving to Chicago is unknown.  However, it has been reported that law was unlikely to have been a full-time career, given his significant writing output during the next 15 years as a writer, editor, and publisher in the fields of New Thought, personal success, and other related fields. 

I want to call your attention to the fact that nothing is too good for YOU – no matter how great the thing may be – no matter how undeserving you may seem to be.  You are entitled to the best there is, for it is your direct inheritance.  So don’t be afraid to ask – demand – and take.  The good things of the world are not the portion of any favored sons.  They belong to all, but they come only to those who are wise enough to recognize that the good things are theirs by right, and who are sufficiently courageous to reach out for them.  Many good things are lost for want of the asking.  Many splendid things are lost to you because of your feeling that you are unworthy of them.  Many great things are lost to you because you lack the confidence and courage to demand and take possession of them.  - William W. Atkinson, Thought Vibration (1906) 

The high point of Atkinson’s writing capacity occurred in the late 1910s.  In addition to writing and publishing a steady stream of books and pamphlets, Atkinson started writing articles for Elizabeth Towne’s New Thought magazine Nautilus, as early as November 1912.  From 1916 to 1919, he simultaneously edited his own journal Advanced Thought.  During this same period he also found time to assume the role of the honorary president of the International New Thought Alliance. 

Atkinson was a prolific writer, and his many books achieved wide circulation among New Thought devotees.  He published under several pen names, including Magus Incognito, Theodore Sheldon, Theron Q.  Dumont, Swami Panchadasi, Yogi Ramacharaka, Swami Bhakta Vishita, and probably other names not identified at present.  He is also popularly held to be one (if not all) of the Three Initiates who anonymously authored The Kybalion, which certainly resembles Atkinson’s other writings in style and subject matter.  

Atkinson’s two co-authors in the latter venture (if they even existed) are unknown, but speculation often includes names like Mabel Collins, Michael Whitty, Paul Foster Case, and Harriett Case. 

William Walker Atkinson died November 22, 1932 in Los Angeles, California at the age of 69, after 50 years of simultaneously successful careers in business, writing, and the law. 

I first became acquainted with the books of William Atkinson several years ago, but did not immerse myself in any of his works until after I started my personal coaching program with Bob Proctor.  Bob's personal library is in the neighborhood of some 2,500 books (or more!) and he has a number of books by Atkinson.  A primary and indeed quality characteristic of Atkinson's writings is that they are straightforward and clear.  He uses simple language, is quite easy to understand, and his messages are clear (in contrast to the works of Thomas Troward, which, while immensely valuable, are written on an entirely different level).  Read is books many times; like so many authors in this field, each new reading brings with it the revelation of new truths, not apparent in the prior reading.  Rest assured, however, it is not that the work reveals new truths, but that the student has progressed to the point of seeing and understanding them. 

Thought Vibration by William Walker Atkinson is a great introduction to his works and covers many of the basic principles and teachings of Purposeful Thought.  Various topics covered include: the Law of Attraction (Chapters 1 and 13),  the Will (Chapter 5), training the mind and mental control, i.e., Purposeful Thought (Chapters 4, 8 and 10), among other powerful principles and Laws of Success. 

Thought Vibration is one of Atkinson's classic textbooks and should be read by and included as an often referred to reference in the library of every aspiring student of Success.
