When I met the Science of Wattles

When I met the work of Wallace Wattles I was passing a good moment in the economic thing, but there was something that bothered me, a hole sensation, of not to know why I was making that was making for. The things of my work went well, and economically I could not complain, although it was not becoming rich, but a feeling that it was a hollow inside, that anything cared a lot and of not having a desire that impels me steamed up at that moment.

Casually I found in internet the book of Wallace Wattles. First read it in English and then in Spanish, that obviously clarified me a lot the vision. Immediately I felt that it was in front of something that had looked for many times without knowing it exactly.

However, I was oppressed by the enormous quality of what had and for the enormous task that waited for me. Immediately I felt that I believe firmly in what Wattles said, an instantaneous faith took possession of me. But at the same time, I felt that that faith required a very big impulse of my will so was made real.

Then I left the book to a side for a couple of months. I had the feeling that I was not enough clever, that I should gather forces, or something should happen that impelled me externally to follow the advice and postulates of the book. It was a strange sensation: on one hand knowing that I was in front of something totally certain for me, but at the same time to know that you don’t have enough force to make it like he should make it. It was as mixing the happiness that I have discovered the truth and a certain sadness of knowing that the search had finished, together with feeling weak to confront the challenges that I should confront.

Until the force appeared and everything changed. The faith put my soul in movement, the gratefulness arose suddenly and I started. I began this way to become rich with firm steps, with certainties and without fear, and with the absolute conviction that this is possible, this works, it is easier than it seems although there are moments of difficulty and weakness. Now, I see back and I think that what I wanted was happening as quick as possible, with determination and security. Now, this is only growing day by day, with the certainty that everything is possible.

Wattles and the gratitude

I stopped to think a while about the feeling of the gratitude, or the gratefulness. If one looks at it sincerely, it seems a feeling that is outside of the nature. The animals don’t show gratefulness. When they celebrate their master, in the case of the domestic animals, they are not thanking him but they simply show happiness for the master’s presence. Undoubtedly anyone could tell me that in fact no animal has feelings to the style of the human feelings. But however the animals show sadness, anger or fury, including affection, but never gratefulness.

Of where comes to us the humans such a feeling? Is it maybe the root of something deeper than it comes from our anciens? That it is in fact the gratitude? We are so accustomed to say thanks to other, to thank that at least I had never put on to think from where it comes. Until I knew to Wattles and their work.

The gratitude is to express to other our indulgence for being made something, he gave us something, it enriched us somehow without obtaining anything to change. This is essential, it should not have a consideration so one really thanks. If somebody makes something to obtain another thing in exchange for our part, that is a business, although our culture and good education also imposes us the habit of saying ‘thank you’. But that is not the true gratefulness. This happens when there is not anything to change. That is to say that there have a substantial component of the gratitude, the gratuitousness. It is curious, and perfectly logical also that gratitude has the same root that the word free, or gratuitous or gratuitousness. The things are not casual, evidently.

But then, when somebody gives us something, either something material or spiritual, without hoping to obtain something to change, our feeling of gratitude appears. Why? Because is evident that we are getting rich, he is giving us more life, more place, more dons than those that we could obtain. That is to say, we are receiving life without to make anything in this respect. After the fact, we are more, we are better, we are prepared for more things than before, we have been blessed by somebody to grow, to be owner of more wealth.

That is to say that the gratitude is our symbolic payment currency. An expression, simply, to show that we are conscious and we receive consciously the biggest quantity in life that gives us the other. It is as saying that we know what the other one is making, we either recognize the fact that has taken place, that this has meant him an effort or not. In that aspect the word Thank you! it should be understood as Blessings!, I give you my blessing for what you have made! I pay you symbolically a prize to have given me what you gave me! Thank you!

It is as telling I bless you! That is to say, I show to the whole universe that my spirit leans toward you for what you have made. My soul, my being makes echo of your greatness and they go to you with a blessing, with an expression. My spirit takes a bath your spirit in an expression that is seen in all the ends of the universe and properly registered, also.

For that reason Wattles tells us that when we fix our mind in the fortune or in the goods that we want to get, we make it with gratefulness. That gratitude is an expression of our spirit toward the amorphous matter that will build what we want and we are giving her in advance thank you. We are inclining our spirit toward the substance blessing her for what will give us without requesting us swims to change, without at least to know if we deserve it. Without we have to make an effort too much to achieve it, better than to make our work in the possible best way, giving more life for all.

How to obtain the complete wealth

Wattles speaks of the Science of Becoming Rich, but the wealth that Wallace understands is a complete wealth, an integrative wealth. If one only notices the material wealth, the money, forgetting the gratitude and the faith, becomes a greedy person that joins currencies, that only monopolizes money. However, the acquisition of fortune that Wattles proclaims is a total, included acquisition of the gigantic understanding of how the universe works.

To know how is the way to announcing what will happen to me, how is that common men that built big fortunes have worked, how those that have built empires, either economic or politicians being almost illiterate people, has been able to make it, it is the biggest wealth to which a common man can aspire. As well as we were always attracted by that statement of not giving them fish but teaching them to fish for the good and firm that possesses, the Wattles’ method is rich in becoming trained about how the universe works. And although his method is one of test and error, that is the method that the scientists always used.

It is for this reason that Wattles speaks not only several times of obtaining wealth, but of who we really want to be, what we want to make of our life or how we want to live. Everything can be gotten with the method that he proposed. And there is the enormous wealth that not only implies to obtain the fortune or the money that we want but knowing how it is obtained, which are the rules that is necessary to follow to continue getting it.

At the same time, and considering the demonstration that gives us of why is not sinned to obtain wealth, but rather is the form that has the human being of being developed fully, there is another factor that to consider when we think of the wealth.

To obtain wealth is not only to obtain money or material goods. As he explains it, the wealth is the money and the goods that allow the man to be developed completely. This way, the wealth that we will obtain should be applied to our development. Otherwise, it is only to monopolize the greedy person’s currencies, like we mention at the beginning. That fortune should be, as is obtained, applied to our happiness and that of the others, to our best growth, to our development as integral and complete people, to our approach to the divinity of the substance.

So the substance brings the wealth that we want, Wattles doesn’t say it definitively but he suggests it, we should use it to be better people, wiser, with better judgement, with better culture, with more solidarity. Only in that way the fortune will come more and more toward us. If we only put it in a drawer and we go and we count the currencies every day, that fortune will dry off quickly, it will look for somebody that give a better use.

It is for that reason that the wealth should be completed with the knowledge that we have of how one obtains and for the use that we give it, to improve our life and the one of those that are close, for the biggest life that we contribute to create and the biggest happiness that we give to our atmosphere, to those that surround us and therefore, the happiness that we impel in the whole universe.

Why is a science and not a religion?

If Wallace Wattles had written his book in these days, people had probably transformed him in a religious leader. He would have their own meeting places and maybe until their fanatic followers and their own liturgy. It is very easy that people had considered The Science of Becoming Rich as a religious book of the new age.

That is because all the references that Wattles carries out to the dark matter, the amorphous and intelligent matter, could be referred to an omnipresent god and that everything knows. But Wattles didn’t write on religion. Why?

The religion, anyone of them, seeks to explain the origin of the universe, like what are the things, like how they were created, who made it, who has the control and how to making to please him, or rather what waits this god from us. It is the explanation of the origin and final destination of the things. It is the one on the way to the universe, explained and digested so that masses understand it or so that they have enough consistency like so that, if they don’t understand it, at least put their faith in them.

But Wallace Wattles wrote about a science. The science doesn’t seek to explain the origin and the destination of the things, but it simply explains how they work. Which are the laws that govern them. A thing is to know how the planets move, which it is its trajectory, and another very different one is to know who created them, why and for what reason. He simply discovered a mechanism for which the human being can build his future to his will and convenience. And it exposed it without giving explanations of why is this way. It simply works, as he said.

To be rich is not a sin

Maybe the confusion comes for that of “blessed the poor because they belongs the Kingdom of the skies”. It is not my intention to start translating the Bible. Be enough to say that when having a single translation, the official one, is not very probable that the sense has been copied in the right way. One could write a lot about how the official church contradicts the same thing that translates. But good, that is another history.

In our Latin, Catholic and western culture, to be rich is seen as sinful and to be poor as compassionate. This truth has been extrapolated to the point that the bad guys always appear as greedy, in our culture, and the good ones as poor and indigent. This way, wealth is synonymous of vulgarity and sin, and poverty is synonymous of virtuousness and sanctity.

But Wattles gives us a totally revolutionary vision in this aspect. To be rich allows to carry out the human being’s potentialities, to grow, to be given ourselves more life, a life more full, bigger happiness, and to be able to also give it to others. To be poor is to reduce the man’s capacities, to limit it, to deprive him of life, of pleasure, of fullness.

It is worth to clarify that this doesn’t have anything to do with the justice, which implies a concept completely separated, different. That in our countries we see that the rich ones don’t pay their taxes, condemning this way to thousands to the education and health shortage, is another problem. Or that the rich ones can hire better lawyers and not to pay for their crimes, which happens also, is not something that makes the wealth in itself to be a bad thing. It would be as saying that the water is bad because it produces floods.

The wealth is what allows the man to be developed in all his fullness, without loading it of concerns that don’t make bigger sense when living a full and wise life. To be rich is to be able to be, to be able to act freely, to be free of ties, to be able to know the world, the life in their different forms, to be able to develop what you want without concerns.

From where donations will come out to protect the poor of the desvastated communities, from the hungry countries? from other poor people? Who will leave his children one day without eating so that the poor from Africa eat? Let us don’t allow ourselves to deceive, the wealth is good, it is useful and it is more life and more wisdom for all. Then how we apply it is a moral problem, but is not a characteristic of the wealth or the fortune.
