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.

Some times I lose myself

Sometimes, like now, I leave the blog suspended during a time, days. This time went to a trip to the Amazonia where I was spent one week to see incredible landscapes, populations so beauty and its poverty at the same time, and highways removed from an invented landscape. Crystalline water forest, mountains, valleys, lakes, rivers, birds of dream, etc etc etc.

As much beauty cannot be described. It is not possible to describe what to human eyes is beauty, and as the nature recreates, procreates and reinvent better than the most risky dreamer. At the same time, the poverty, the delay, less worthy of the human beings shrunk within a pure and infinitely beautiful landscape.

To understand to what extent we can be degraded our specie, while the nature great more and more to the species than respects and obeys it. It was a disquieting, moving, beautiful experience. Sometimes I move away of blog, but I approach more and more to people, to the universe, treating to understand how we can be so clumsy and fools.

Acting on positive

In every one of those situations which we live, we stand with people who have a competitive vision of life. People are living trying to compete with others to secure their position at work, at society or at love. People do not hesitate to destroy their peers to earn a place in the office or in the company. People who speak badly of others, sowing doubt about its morality or simply discredited by envy.

This happens in all countries, all cultures and all activities. And this is part of a deep contradiction: Many times people make much damage to others to get a good thing for one, without thinking that an injury can never build a well. Even up to the war, the most brutal act of collective human, nobody wins, and the victors often lose more than the losers.

To think that a bad action to a coworker, speaking ill of him or destroy his reputation, can generate some good for ourselves, is to think that evil can generate a good thing. Perhaps temporarily this could happen, and we get some improvements for a while, but in the long run this will reverse in some aspect of our lives, the universe will pass the bill.

No one is alone or isolated in the universe, and the damage that we do to others is what we are doing to ourselves. Only that for our confusion, sometimes occurs positive effects misleading. If we can understand this truth so simple and naive, the world would be a place much more livable and humane.

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.

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.

I think, then I create what I think.

Came to my mind the idea of Omar, that emphasized in a comment in this blog that “to think is the hardest work than exists”. This it taken freely of the chapter 4 of The Science of Getting Rich of Wallace D. Wattles.

Really think is a hard work. It could not be less, since is the authentic piece of the creation reserved for us, humans. and for God, or the amorphous substance, call it as you want. If the nature privileged us with the possibility to do worlds, to build cities or beautiful monuments, and each imaginable and unimaginable thing in our head, should not be an easy task. If we are the only beings of the creation that can think, should not be a simple task.

Guessing the future by Wallace D. Wattles

At times I ask me why so much desperation in the people exists by guessing the future. If one thinks it superficially, it would be seems that “all we want to know what is going to pass us”. Really this is not true. If you are a 25 years young man and they tell you that your father is going to die, that is 70 years old, a thing more than probable that occur in a nearby future still inside your own life, you feel desperate and dead of pain. And only is a play of odds.
