and all things necessary to my happiness will be added to me. " The Soul has only to manifest its drawing power. When the conscious mind lets itself be led or drawn, it will be drawn to what it desires. Desire is the magnet. Let it have its way. Trust in your own Love of Truth and Love of Goodness and never question. That you desire it, is enough. That you desire it, is evidence that it already exists for you on the Soul-side. Be passive to the desire and LET it manifest. This attitude is itself Success and leads to this attitude towards things.
Affirm: THINGS BELONG TO ME. I AM ALREADY POSSESSOR. THEY WILL COME TO ME AT NEED. Then LET them come. If they are not, do not waste time trying for them. Having accepted Truth that ALL IS YOURS and that ALL DESIRED CONDITIONS or THINGS WILL MANIFEST, never think more of them. LET them come. All looking for things to come evidences that you have not claimed them as realities, but have held them as dreams or possibilities. Until you hold them as realities, they cannot come, unless you give up Thought-drawing and go back to the old competitive struggle, then they may be grasped.
Change your attitude toward business. Do not seek it. SEE IT ALREADY YOURS and LET it come. Attend yourself to details as they come to the surface. Consider business a Principle that will run, as runs a mountain stream, when you remove your conscious will from it. All your concern is to be ready to use it as the ranchman uses the water as it comes to his ditch.
Business is a manifestation of the One Power. Use the Power as the telegrapher uses: LET it come and you direct it. The wisdom for the day comes with the day. LET it come by faith in Self. Work each moment as if it were here and it IS here.
In regard to money, regard it also as merely the power that keeps business going. Welcome its coming and rejoice at its going. It never does its work until, like water in the stream, it has passed under the wheel.
YOU alone are the Power. Money has only delegated Power. You direct its expression. Change your attitude toward money. It is not "the almighty dollar.'' Almighty Power uses the dollar. Say to the dollar, "I do not need you. You need me. You are of no use until my brain and hand use you. You wish to be used. You come to me that you may be used. I do not need a dollar. Dollars need me. " Assume this mental attitude and see what a change it makes for you. When you have changed your aura, dollars will be drawn and you need not think of their coming. Only think of using them.
Change your attitude toward the dollars you have. Tell them they are of no use until they are expended. As you see them lying about, say to them:— "Idle dollars, go to work. Go out and circulate about. Each one of you go and pay a million in wages and debts. When I need you, come back again. You are useless and have no value until you go to work. Then LET them go to work, knowing that, when you send this thought with them, they or their fellows will come to you to be set at work.
Before you spend a dollar, the question comes, "Is it right?" Whether you have a single dollar, or behind the one you think of spending are a million, makes no difference. If it is right to spend the dollar in the proposed way, had you the million, it is right thus to spend it when it is the lone one. Therefore, when you feel it is right to spend a dollar for any purpose, spend it as royally as if you were a millionaire. From the Inner Life, this message was given to me years ago: "Let a thought of use stand guard over your purse and then spend freely.'' Amend this by affirming: "A thought of the righteousness of the spending stands guard over my dollars and I send them forth with blessing." These dollars, like every thought of good you send out, will return to bless, for you do business with thoughts only; dollars are but materialized thoughts. Each dollar in any man's hand represents his thought in material form. Send out at all times with year dollars the thoughts you wish to return to you, for what you sow in your dollars, you reap in dollars that either do, or do not, come back to you. Put the thought of Success, Happiness and Health into every dollar that passes out and it will return so laden.
Conscientiousness the First Need
''First have something good, then advertise," said Horace Greely. To meet Success, you must have an Ideal that enlists your full sympathy. You cannot be successful unless you feel that you have a right to succeed. Feel that you have something that the world needs. You can then feel that Dollars want you; that through them you can give what you have of value to the world. Feel that Dollars wish you to use them for the accomplishment of your purpose to use them justly. With this ideal, you can conscientiously invite Dollars and they will come. They need your heart, brain and hand that they may benefit the world. Dollars are manifestations of the One Infinite Substance as you are, but, unlike you, they are not Self-Conscious. They have no power till you give them power. Make them feel this through your thought-vibrations as you feel the importance of your work. They will then come to you to be used. They will not come, nor can you in this Thought draw them, to be hoarded. Use, Helpfulness and Happiness must be in your thought of Success. This held firmly, perseveringly, as your Affirmation, will turn the current of Dollars your way. Your thought should be: I possess that which the world wants. Dollars want me to use them in scattering that which I have to bless.
These Affirmations I recommend to be personally held: — DOLLARS LOVE ME. DOLLARS WANT ME. I AM READY TO USE DOLLARS AND THEY FREELY COME TO ME TO BE USED. Make no limit as to the amount. Claim abundance. Claim all you can use for good, all that is needed to enable you to be useful and happy. Abundant Supply, be your demand.
Time A Factor
In all your Self-Culture, you are to remember that time is a necessary factor in unfoldment. It is not a measure of duration. This mistake of measuring time by the figures on a dial, will never do in this culture. Time is to be measured by growth. Some may grow more while the hands count twenty-four hours than others in ten times that. Take no thought of time. You have all there is. You are Spirit (or Mind, if you prefer the word) and have all eternity.
Seeds require time to germinate, grow, leave, bud, bloom, blossom and fruit. Each thought, each change in your ideal, is a seed. It will follow nature's line of evolution. You will require time as you change your attitude! A period will be required to change your vibrations so that the Dollar will feel you and learn that it wants you. This period will vary according to your power of concentration and your fidelity to your ideal as couched in the Affirmation; Dollars want me. The thought-field is first to be cleared of the weeds of the old thought-sowing and the seeds of the new must germinate and become the forest in the garden of Supply.
Pay no attention to the old conditions. Keep at your Affirmation, knowing that it is the reservoir and every irrigating ditch will fill as soon as water can come down from the reservoir to it.
The echo, "I want dollars," must become still before the real sound of Dollars want me can vibrate in your aura.
Know, as the merchant knows that he has that which the people want, that you have that which Dollars want. Advertise in your thought, your hand, your life, your purpose to the Dollar. Tell it that it wants all these; that without you, it has no power; that, without you, it can do nothing. Tell it that all that it wants, you have; that it will come to you that it may accomplish its mission. Then, like a patient merchant, wait for your customers. Dollars will soon flock, as do customers to a "bargain'' counter. The "Want column" has attracted them. Use here only the same common-sense, perseverance and patience the successful business man uses and Dollars will find their wants supplied in you, and you will find Supply.
Supply
"He who dares assert the I,
May calmly wait
While hurrying fate
Meets his demands with sure supply."
—Helen Wilmans.
