prosperity。 

I want to exhort you; therefore; to resolve to change your 
habitual pattern of thinking now。 That's right; change it now; 
and remember; the stream of plenty always flows towards the 
open; expectant mind。 You must understand you already have 
in substance; if not in physical form; everything necessary to 
produce prosperity in your material world。 The two 
determining factors for you to attain the results you want are: 

1。 desire; and 
2。 expectation。 


Up to this point you might have been living the way the 
masses live their entire lives; simply because you are 
harboring the false assumption that desire is the only thing 
which you need to reach your goal。 But you must understand; 
if your desire is not combined with the expectation that you 
will receive what you desire; you will find yourself continually 
frustrated and disappointed whenever you begin working 
toward any kind of material goal。 

When you cast your mind back over the experiences of 
your own life; you will soon realize that whenever you did 


reach a desired goal; you not only desired that goal but you 
actually expected to attain it as well。 

Let me repeat … desire without expectation is nothing 
more than wishful thinking and as we have already pointed 
out; since the vast majority of people wish positive but expect 
negative; they seldom attain what they are after。 

In his magnificent book The Science of Getting Rich; the 
author; Wallace D。 Wattles; gave us an excellent definition of 
〃desire。〃 He said: 〃Desire is the effort of the unexpressed 
possibility within seeking expression without through your 
action。〃 

In other words; your ideal; dream or goal … this wealth 
you wish to see materialize … can only become a desire once it 
has been properly planted in the subconscious mind。 However; 
once your desire has been firmly established; it is the 
expectant attitude which ensures that your goal or dream is 
not uprooted or replaced by any opposing or competing ideas。 

In an effort to help you kindle this expectant attitude 
toward 〃real wealth;〃 let us journey together through some of 
the preceding chapters in this book。 As you will remember; we 
began by discussing 〃money。〃 We attempted to understand the 
〃true nature〃 of money and we arrived at the conclusion it is a 
〃useful; obedient servant。〃 However; like all servants; we 
learned it is useful to us only when it is being employed。 
Therefore; we concluded; money must always be kept working 
or otherwise circulating。 For if it is not; as we have already 
mentioned; it will become as useless as old newspapers 
stashed away in an attic。 

Next; we explored the idea relating to exactly 〃how much 
money you want。〃 You become aware of the fact it is necessary 
to be very specific about how much money you need; to 
provide the things you want; to live in the style you choose。 
Once this figure had been decided upon; we then examined 
the importance of building the image of ourselves already in 
possession of this wealth; on the screen of our conscious 


mind。 We also talked briefly about the manner in which 
images are formed and the role they play in our lives。 

Then we examined the idea of 〃consciousness〃 and how it 
was imperative to develop the prosperity which we seek in our 
mind first; before we can ever attain it in our bankbooks。 We 
learned how we had to bathe our subconscious minds in a 
concept of prosperity and how we had to see wealth as being 
already in our possession。 

In the chapter 〃Let Go And Let God;〃 we became aware 
we were co…creators。 We became aware of how we had; in our 
conscious mind; the ability to choose any thoughts we wanted; 
to build any images which we chose to build。 We then learned 
how we could turn that image over to our subconscious mind 
(the spiritual center of our being; and that part of us which 
takes any idea or image we give to it; then willingly accepts it 
and instantly begins to move it into physical form in our 
world)。 We discovered that when we truly understand this 
creative process of life and our role in it expectation becomes a 
natural mind…set; regardless of how things might appear in 
our outside world or what others might be saying to us。 We 
were told this absolute and unshakeable faith or belief in the 
fact that our images are moved into form; is essential if we are 
to become successful in our lives。 We also gained an 
awareness that all of this will happen once we begin to see 
ourselves as nonphysical entities encased in physical bodies。 
Once we realize our bodies are nothing other than the physical 
manifestation of our nonphysical selves; we will understand 
they are obedient servants of our mind; and they move and 
have their being according to the vibratory rate of our minds。 

You must reach the stage in your mental development 
where you don't just believe that your image of material wealth 
will manifest in form; but you actually know it will。 It is at that 
point you will begin to expect to receive the physical 
expression of your image of wealth。 No one and no thing will 
be able to cause you to see in your mind anything but that。 


Always remember; the truth is not always in the appearance of 
things。 

An elderly; wealthy gentleman being interviewed by a 
newspaper reporter was asked at what point he became 
successful。 His answer was; 〃I was successful when I was 
sleeping on a park bench because I knew where I was and I 
knew where I was going。〃 At this juncture in the book; you 
know where you are and you know where you are going。 So 
expect to get there! 

Your desire is the motor…power which will move you in 
the direction of your dream and expectation is the attractive 
force that will move your dream in your direction。 So see 
yourself moving toward the wealth you visualize and see the 
wealth you visualize being attracted to you。 Know that you will 
come in contact with the wealth that is moving to you; and at 
the right time。 No one knows what period of time must elapse; 
so don't become impatient if it doesn't materialize 〃overnight。〃 
All we know for sure is a certain period of time must elapse 
and the period of time which your image must take to 
materialize is governed by the law of gender。 The law of gender 
decrees there is a gestation or incubation period for the 
manifestation of all seeds; and; make no mistake about it; the 
image of wealth you chose to build on the screen of your 
conscious mind and then turned over to your subconscious 
mind is a seed; and it is growing into physical form; in the 
most fertile field of which you could ever conceive。 

It is not necessary; at this point; for anyone else to see 
this new wealth。 It is not even necessary for anyone else to 
believe you will receive it。 The only thing necessary is that you 
see it and you believe it。 You see; the premise that Napoleon 
Hill built his life's work on is absolutely true…anything the 
mind can conceive and believe; it will achieve。 Expressed 
another way; 〃As a person thinketh in their heart; so are they。〃 
(The early Greeks referred to the subconscious mind as the 
heart。) Note that your subconscious mind can no more change 
or alter your image; than an ordinary mirror can reflect back 


to you an image different than the object you are holding in 
front of it。 But remember; as you think so are you; does not 
mean as you tell people you think or as you would wish the 
world to believe you think; it means your innermost thoughts; 
which only you control; know the truth。 That is what you 
expect; so that is what you attract and that is what you will 
ultimately receive! 

Through studying the power of your subconscious mind; 
or studying in depth the power or modus operandi of Spirit; it 
will become easier and easier for you to come to expect the 
good you desire。 For all things are possible in Spirit; because 
in its original state; Spirit is a sensitive; unseen; creative 
substance whose sole purpose is expansion and fuller 
expression; in other words; 〃growth。〃 However; spirit or 
creative substance; can only reproduce; expand and express 
itself in a greater way in accordance with the limitation placed 
upon the instrument through which it expresses itself。 

Since Spirit is flowing to and through you; you are the 
instrument。 Therefore; the image or the ideas you hold in your 
mind dictate the limits which are placed on the spiritual power 
flowing to and through you。 In this respect; you may be 
compared to the light bulb the elderly couple had in their 
home。 You are an instrument through which spirit flows; just 
as a light bulb is an instrument through which electricity 
flows。 When the old couple plugged in the eight candlepower 
bulbs; the electricity was limited in its expression by the power 
of the bulb。 However; when the salesman plugged in the 60 
candlepower bulb; the electricity was free to express itself to a 
greater degree; and yet even then it was limited by the form 
through which it flowed; namely; the new bulb。 A 100 
candlepower bulb would have permitted an even greater 
expression; and so on and so on
