THIS book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for action, without going into all the processes by which those conclusions were reached.
It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental statements upon faith, just as he would take statements concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith, that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.
The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All, and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin, and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson.
The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
In writing this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand. The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and bears the supreme test of practical experiment; it works. If you wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at, read the writings of the authors mentioned above; and if you wish to reap the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, read this book and do exactly as it tells you to do.

Lotus Guide Review The Science of Getting Rich: Attracting Financial Success through Creative Thought, 4th ed. By Wallace D. Wattles If you watched The Secret and wondered what the little book was that changed author Rhonda Byrne's life, this is it. Originally published in 1910, its time has come. In light of recent scientific discoveries, we are creating a new worldview in which consciousness is in everything, and in fact, it's through consciousness that matter comes into being. Many of today's widespread prosperity movements are tapped in to this knowledge and now you can also learn the secret.Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide magazine
This is The Book That Started The Secret Phenomenon Yes, this is the book to read to bring abundance into your life. Supposedly this was Rhonda Byrne's inspiration. Mine too. Loved the book and then found Living The Secret Everyday: My Secret Workbook which gives you the 'doing'part. Don't miss either one- a great combo!
Awesome Timeless, awesome, must read if you are a fan of "Think and Grow Rich" and similar books.
Once you own this way of thinking of looking at money / abundance there is no doubt you will become rich.
