As　you　read　on　through　the　pages　in　this　book；　you　will　
develop　an　ever…increasing　awareness　of　the　talents　and　
abilities　that　lie　deep　within　you。　You　should　realize；　that　with　
the　proper　instruction；　you　can　begin　using　these　undeveloped　
talents　to　attract　the　good　that　you　desire。　But　let　me　caution　
you　once　again…no　amount　of　reading　or　memorizing　will　bring　
you　the　success　you　seek。　It　is　only　the　understanding　and　
application　of　the　ideas　in　this　book　that　will　make　the　
difference　for　you。　Therefore；　don't　be　in　any　hurry　to　finish　
the　book；　because　a　complete　reading　should　not　be　your　
objective。　As　stated　previously；　understanding　and　applying　
what　you　read　is　the　objective。　So　if　you　are　able　to　properly　
digest　only　one　page　a　day；　that　might　be　all　that　is　necessary　
for　you　to　arrive　at　your　goal。　If　you　are　wondering　why　this　
book　is　meant　to　be　〃sipped　and　tasted；〃　rather　than　
〃devoured〃　at　one　reading；　bear　in　mind　it　is　based　upon　over　
twenty　years　of　careful　analysis　of　the　methods　of　both　the　
very　successful　and　the　very　unsuccessful。　

Strength　Through　Sharing　

One　more　word　of　advice。　Since　very　few…if　any…people　
become　great　at　anything　by　themselves；　I　would　suggest　you　
attempt　to　find　at　least　one　other　person　with　whom　you　can　
share　and　discuss　the　ideas　presented　in　this　book。　

Prosperity　Consciousness　

I　believe　you　will　agree　it　is　an　observable　truth　that　
human　beings　will　never　enjoy　anything　they　are　not　yet　


consciously　aware　of。　For　example；　we　did　not　enjoy　the　luxury　
of　traveling　in　airplanes　at　tremendous　rates　of　speed；　until　
the　Wright　Brothers　became　consciously　aware　of　〃how　to　fly。〃　
Thomas　Edison　developed　the　conscious　awareness　of　the　
moving　pictures　and　introduced　us　to　a　brand　new　form　of　
entertainment。　Dr。　Jonas　Salk　became　consciously　aware　of　
how　to　develop　a　serum　that　would　combat　the　dreadful　
disease　of　infantile…paralysis…more　commonly　referred　to　as　
polio…and　as　a　result　of　Salk's　new　awareness；　you　very　rarely　
hear　of　anyone　contracting　that　disease　today。　Alexander　
Graham　Bell　became　consciously　aware　of　how　to　transmit　the　
human　voice　over　metallic　wires　and；　as　a　result；　we　all　now　
enjoy　the　use　of　the　telephone。　

Needless　to　say；　I　could　go　on　and　on　citing　example　after　
example。　However；　the　point　I　want　to　bring　to　the　forefront　of　
your　mind　is　that　these　inventions…or　the　knowledge　bringing　
about　these　inventions…have　always　been　here。　In　fact；　all　the　
knowledge　there　ever　was　or　ever　will　be；　is　evenly　present　in　
all　places　at　all　times。　But　it　took　an　individual　to　bring　those　
thought…patterns　together　and　form　ideas　which　developed　
into　what　we　call　consciousness；　before　we　could　begin　to　
benefit　from　them。　

We　are　floating　in　an　〃ocean〃　of　thought…energy；　where　all　
the　knowledge　there　ever　was　or　ever　will　be；　is　present。　We　
are　also　surrounded　by　abundance。　Indeed；　everywhere　we　
look　in　nature；　our　eyes　come　in　contact　with　abundance；　for　
nature　knows　no　such　thing　as　〃failure。〃　Therefore；　there　never　
has　been；　and　there　never　will　be；　a　lack　of　anything；　except　
conscious…awareness。　But　if　you　are　going　to　begin　to　
penetrate　this　world　of　wealth；　it　is　absolutely　essential　that　
you　begin　to　think。　In　other　words；　you　must　open　your　mind　
to　the　stream　of　thought…energy　which　will　create　an　image；　or　
a　consciousness　of　prosperity；　in　your　mind。　

You　are　well　aware　there　are　literally　thousands　upon　
thousands　of　honest；　good；　hard…working　people　who　labor　
diligently　for　their　entire　stay　on　this　planet；　yet　never　become　


wealthy。　For　those　individuals；　life　is　a　constant　grind　from　
sun　up　until　sun　down。　But　the　ideas　presented　on　these　
pages　have　been　put　here　in　the　hope　they　will　jar　your　mind　
and　inspire　you　to　open　it　up　to　this　new　type　of　thinking。　

Consciousness　is；　and　always　has　been；　developed　
through　thinking；　and　regardless　of　what　your　present　
situation　in　life　may　be；　if　you　ever　hope　to　improve　it　and　
truly　become　wealthy…as　this　book　suggests　you　can…you　must　
begin　thinking　of　prosperity　in　your　mind；　now。　Not　when　you　
finish　the　book。　Not　when　you　finish　the　chapter。　Not　
tomorrow；　next　week；　next　month　or　next　year。　It　must　be　
done　now。　Thinking　is　the　highest　function　of　which　a　human　
being　is　capable。　Yet；　unfortunately；　very　few　people　〃think。〃　
They　merely　trick　themselves　into　believing　that　because　there　
is　some　mental　activity　taking　place　in　their　mind；　they　are　
〃thinking。〃　But　the　truth　is；　most　people　are　simply　exercising　
the　mental　faculty　called　〃memory。〃　They　are　playing　old　
movies；　so　old　pictures　just　keep　flashing　back　on　the　screen　
of　their　mind。　

It　is　imperative　that　you　begin　this　new　way　of　thinking　at　
this　moment；　because　as　you　do；　every　fibre　of　your　being　will　
become　filled　with　this　new　thought…energy。　Your　body　is　
comprised　of　millions　upon　millions　of　cells　and　each　one　of　
them　is　influenced　in　its　movement　by　thought　impulses。　So　
the　second　you　begin　entertaining　relaxing　thoughts；　your　
body　becomes　relaxed。　The　instant　you　begin　entertaining　
worrisome；　fearful　thoughts；　your　body　becomes　rigid　and　
tense。　As　you　begin　to　hold　thoughts　of　prosperity　and　begin　
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　attract…just　like　a　
magnet…everything　necessary　for　you　to　become　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　wealth…like　the　
Kennedy's　or　the　Bronfman's…to　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　compensation　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　way…a　
sure　way…for　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　thought…patterns。　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　come　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　comfortable　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
