How Wattles makes us better

The book The Science of Becoming Rich from Wallace Wattles has a fundamental objective that is to teach us to handle this science to acquire wealth, being which we wished to be, or simply to live in harmony with the universe. In addition, it has other interesting things.

One of them, first who arise to us when we read the book for the first time, is the one that says that we must make our work of the possible most perfect form. Pardon by the license, but more perfect does not exist, if it is perfect cannot be more than that, but is an emphatic turn.

The idea behind the phrase is that we must insist on making our task daily, our work, or what it is that feeds to us and dresses us every day, of the best form than we can do it. It is not enough with going to work every day or to fulfil as we pruned with our obligations, we must do it of irreproachable form.

Why?. The answer of Wallace Wattles is simple: we must contribute to improve the quality of the universe. Everything what we do every day, as small as it could be, contributes to acquire value for the universe that surrounds us. If we do it well, we will be improving the energy of the surroundings and it will be arriving to us in form of aids to our dreams.

Everything is tie. Everything is connected. And if our task is excellent, so it will be the answer of our atmosphere towards us. Of this form, Wattles also becomes a source of wealth for all that that follows its postulates exactly. And it makes us transform into positive generators that go and return, that fills to us of satisfaction and causes that our world is a little better every day.

The absolute faith in Wattles

Quoting Wattles in The Science of Getting Rico, in Chapter 4:

Do not ask why these things are true or speculate on how they could be true. Just trust them. The science of becoming rich begins with the complete acceptance of this.

Perhaps this is the assertion of Wallace Wattles more times has been unheeded. All those who have made contact with the book The Science of Getting Rico we have begun asking how we can make this work, why, what was the explanation for scientific or common sense, and so on. etc. All, or nearly all, we have fallen into that temptation.

Perhaps I know the only person who didn´t this. It is a great friend and partner who has firmly accepted the precepts of science without asking why even once. I remember that we had long conversations where he made an enormous effort to convince me that simply accept. Acept and believe.

The argument he used was simple, but very forceful. My friend said that if science was real and it worked, blindly believing it will make us rich, and there would be nothing to worry about thereafter. However, if those things were simply unrealistic and an a not working invention, or only one more fabrication, we would not do any harm or hurt us. So it was worthy believe blindly, without worrying about the origin of things beyond belief that it works.

And so we did. And really works. The most wonderful book that has been written, in my opinion, describes a strong reality as firm as the sun, clear, simple and not only make us rich but again makes us owners of our lives, govern what we want to happen, achieving what we want be or do, and ultimately makes us so happy.

Wattles revisited

As always I can, I make a re-reading of the book of the Science of Becoming Rich of our good friend and beneficent Wallace Wattles. This time was for some days of uncertainty to have happened, of doubt and of confusion in what concerns to my work and the different activities that I carry out to make money. It was, as always, to return to the source to charge the batteries.

And every time that I return encounter a new aspect in Wattles that had not seen before. This astonishes me because it is not such a long neither so dense book as so that one always finds different things.

In this case I stopped in a page with a thought that came me suddenly to my head. It was the security that Wattles is not an author of those of self-help that seeks to give us a recipe on how thinking, what to think and that if we make it we will have all the things that we want. The books of self-help have a thing in common: they say make this and that, of certain form, and your life will change one day for the other one. Wattles is different. Not there are recipes to change our form to think, there is not anything to modify in our lives. Not there is an order of things that to complete, neither recommendations that many times are contradicted among them.

Wattles is simple, simple, deeply scientific, creative, formative, and all their recommendations settle in making the things well. Only that it is necessary to make them in certain way, in a successful way, as he says, and with the faith of getting our purpose and gratitude for that to the sustance. Read it and see.

The road of Wallace Wattles

When I began to read the book of The Science of Getting Rich of Wallace Wattles I had the feeling of being before somebody that told us something that we already knew that it was this way, as he said it. The sensation of that known was present during the whole afternoon that I used in reading the book. It was as if I visited a place in which had already been before. As if inside my mind I already knew what was to read.

Not there is anything in the book that collides or go in against or at least it sings out of tune with things that we already know, at least those that we have worried at some time for how the human life works. It is all very natural and very clear one. We forge our future, and therefore we have the possibility to modify it to will with our mind, the most powerful mechanism that has created the nature and that no technology will be able to equal.

The only thing that it surprises, the first time that one reads the book, it is the reference to the amorphous substance. The intelligent, omnipresent, infinitely powerful and “wise” substance is a reference that perturbs who reads the book per time first. But it stops and it was a to re-discover something that already knew. There are rakes of that substance that are beginning to appear in the universe through the physics and the astronomy. Although it seems exaggerated to venture, I believe that this substance will be known in some decades, and that will become the biggest discovery that the human being can make in this universe.

For all these things the book of Wattles is something more than a simple book. It is like a magic recipe granted by somebody that at some time knew more, he saw something more and he translated it for us. And it is for this reason that one reads in so easy and quick form.

The simplicity of Wattles writings

The simplicity with which Wallace writes it is something astonishing. Its main book, to which refers this blog, The Science of Becoming Rich is something that most of the writers would want only for its simplicity. It is a brief, small book, we would say concise, as if it had been written counting the words. It has very few metaphors, very few turns or examples, it is a Spartan book.

As a good author that knows that their words will be interpreted and many times taken out of context, Wattles doesn’t take pains in that its prose is abundant. If it will be interpreted, it is better than they have things to interpret. Making it brief and concise, there is more material to be plentiful in what is.

His style is simple and direct. On all the things, simple, of a simplicity that oppresses. Nowadays the writers that approach these topics determine to fill leaves and leaves always repeating the same thing. In that way, with one concept they publish several books and they make a collection, people say this way that he is a fruitful writer. Wattles preferred to make just the opposite.

Each chapter is dedicated to a topic or a specific aspect of the Science to Become Rich. Not there are repetitions, except for the concepts that he wants to stress and that are the four or five essential concepts of the science. The chapters are brief and of a bearable and interesting writing, without big definitions neither forced passages. The reading is extremely easy, almost without realizing the book is devoured in few hours.

If the message is simple, if the ideas are simple, they can put on in some few words. Who did say that the universe should be complex in its development? One thing is that it is complex of understanding and another very different one that is complex of counting. And the universe that Wattles shows us is simple, it is simple and it doesn’t require big intelligences to be understood, or at least accepted. Like his book.

Message of my friend Albert on Wattles and his work

When I met the work of Wattles (26-05-07) it was a very signal day for me, for reasons that want not disclose here, and the chance give me the book that changed my life. I read it that same night and some 15 times in the following week.

I know that this is real, it works. I know that I will be rich in a time and read these comments that I write in this blog will bring me beautiful memories. Me like you can understand I don’t win anything with you becoming rich but since, for shame and other reasons, I didn’t comment even anything to my family of the matter Wattles I am full with happiness to share it with strange people to those that maybe my words can change the life to better in any instant. People that I won’t know that won’t thank me in person, but when I were rich I will know that somebody will have followed myself path and that will also have achieved it and that will make me double the satisfaction.

For my this blog is a delight, it allows me to express me such and like I think and I sit down, it gives me the extra impulse that I demand myself every. For that reason I want to give those thanks to their creator.

Continuing with what said to the beginning will say that when the book arrived to my I looked for an exit desperately, a change in my life. I could not allow me a failure, so I read it and I accepted with absolute Faith all that said, it stops this way to get what desired. Probably many like me don’t want to be rich to make the vagrant the whole day, or to be in front of the sat down television and when they get bored to leave to the caribe. Many want a light in their life. To see if this doesn’t sound you, to see if you don’t feel something similar to what I will tell you:

I want to be rich to be unworried, to give the best thing to mine, to have my house, to choose a work that I like and let me be filled without caring what they pay me, to be my own boss, to help friends and family when they have a problem that the money solves (a surgery, for example), to escape from the routine and to fly free, to decide in what world I want to live, to decide that people want to surround myself, to make my own decisions, so that nobody spends for above (neither I want to be above anybody), to read a book peacefully when I feel like, to go to a trip when tired and want to relax me, to see the wonderful landscapes of this planet, for never feeling more contained, to have time for me, and to have a great life because me less I don’t deserve.If you have read this you surely think as me, I give you my most valuable advice friends: make all that says the work of Wattles and you never doubt that it is such a true science that is able to light the bulb of your bedroom. If you make that you won’t fail. Trust my, please.
Regards to all.

Is Wattles a second order author?

Wallace Wattes is a practically unknown author. The fact of having died before 1930, when exploits the media, and of having written relatively few books, has contributed to that. He has not many followers in the world outside the United States and has not been translated but recently.

However, other authors a little later, as Napoleon Hill, owes him a lot. In the case of Hill, although maybe he never recognized it, show the influence of Wattles in his good known work, Think and Grow Rich, which has been translated to many languages and has influenced to several generations. There is remarkable the influence of the Wattles’ ideas, inclusive whole chapters of that monumental book because of its size) seems to be dictated directly by Wattles.

The work of Hill is big, voluminous, embraces many aspects of the human life, digresses among recommendations of all type that end up inclusive seeming to be contradictory. He goes from the personal finances to the love, in a journey of recommendations inexplicable many times. It is a memory excercise to read that principle book to the end and to be about retaining some idea of those that are contained there.

On the other hand The Science of Becoming Rich or Science of Getting Rich is a concise, elegant and brief book, condensed to the end that seems that if one retired a sentence the work would be unconcluded or weak. It is a focused book, precise, austere, lacking of excessive and of grandiloquent images. Not it is literature. It is the dry and brief expression of a science taken to the end of the minimum thing and of the indispensable thing. They are never necessary many words to tell the truth.
