CONTENTS

YOUR RIGHT TO BE RICH

I t is your right to be rich. You are here to lead the abundant life, to be happy, radiant, and free. You should, therefore, have all the money you need to lead a full, happy, prosperous life.

There is no virtue in poverty; the latter is a mental disease. It should be abolished from the face of the earth. You are here to grow, expand, and unfold

spiritually, mentally, and materially. You have the inalienable right to fully develop and express yourself along all lines. You should surround yourself with beauty and luxury.

Why be satisfied with just enough to go around when you can enjoy the riches of the Infinite? In this book you will learn to make friends with money, and you will always have a surplus. Your desire to be rich is a desire for a fuller, happier, more wonderful life. It is a cosmic urge. It is goodvery good.

Begin to see money in its true significance: as a symbol of exchange. It means to you freedom from want; it means beauty, luxury, abundance, as also refinement.

As you read this chapter, you are probably saying, I want more money. I am worthy of a higher salary than I am receiving.

I believe most people are inadequately compensated. One of the reasons many people do not have more money is that they are silently or openly condemning it.

They refer to money as filthy lucre, or they believe that Love of money is the root of all evil, etc. Another reason they do not prosper is that they have a sneaky, subconscious feeling there is some virtue in poverty; this subconscious pattern may be due to early childhood training, superstition, or it could be based on a false interpretation of the scriptures.

There is no virtue in poverty; it is a disease like any other mental disease. If you were physically ill, you would think there was something wrong with you; you would seek help, or do something about the condition at once. Likewise, if you do not have money constantly circulating in your life, there is something radically wrong with you.

Money is only a symbol; it has taken many forms as a medium of exchange down through the centuries, such as salt, beads, or various trinkets. In early times, mans wealth was determined by the number of sheep or oxen he had. It is much more convenient to write a check than to carry some sheep around with you to pay your bills.

God does not want you to live in a hovel or to go hungry. God wants you to be happy, prosperous, and successful. God is always successful in all His undertakings, whether He makes a star or a cosmos!

You may wish to take a trip around the world, study art in foreign countries, go to college, or send your children to a superior school. You certainly wish to bring up your children in lovely surroundings, so that they might learn to appreciate beauty, order, symmetry, and proportion.

You were born to succeed, to win, to conquer all difficulties, and to have all your faculties fully developed. If there is financial lack in your life, do something about it.

Get away immediately from all superstitious beliefs about money. Do not ever regard money as evil or filthy. If you do, you cause it to take wings to fly away from you. Remember that you lose what you condemn.

Suppose, for example, you found gold, silver, lead, copper, or iron in the ground. Would you pronounce these things evil? God pronounced all things good.

The evil comes from mans darkened understanding, from his unenlightened mind, from his false interpretation of life, and his misuse of Divine Power. Uranium, lead, or some other metal could have been used as a medium of exchange. We use paper bills, checks, etc.; surely the piece of paper is not evil; neither is the check.

Physicists as also other scientists know today that the only difference between ometals is the number and rate of motion of the electrons revolving around a central nucleus. They are now changing one metal into another through a

bombardment of the atoms in the powerful cyclotron. Gold under certain conditions becomes mercury. It will be only a little while until gold, silver, and other metals will be made synthetically in the chemical laboratory. I cannot imagine seeing anything evil in electrons, neutrons, protons, and isotopes.

The piece of paper in your pocket is composed of electrons as well as protons arranged differently; their number and rate of motion is different; that is the only way the paper differs from the silver in your pocket.

Some people will say, Oh, people kill for money. They steal for money! It has been associated with countless crimes, but that does not make it evil.

Anyone may give another person $50 to kill someone; they has misused money to use it for a destructive purpose. You can use electricity to kill someone or to light the house. You can use water to quench the babys thirst, or use it to drown the child. You can use fire to warm the child, or burn it to death.

Another illustration would be if you brought some soil from your garden and put it in your coffee cup for breakfast: that would be your evil; yet the earth is not evil; neither is the coffee. The soil is misplaced; it belongs in your garden.

Similarly, if a needle were stuck in your thumb, it would be your evil; the needle or pin belongs in the pin cushion, not in your thumb. It is useful and good as an instrument, a tool to sew.

We know the forces or the elements of nature are not evil; it depends on our use of them whether they bless or hurt us.

A man said to me one time, I am broke. I do not like money; it is the root of all evil.

Love of money to the exclusion of everything else will cause you to become lopsided a indeed unbalanced. You are here to use your power or authority wisely.

Some men crave power; others crave money. If you set your heart on money, and say, That is all I want. I am going to give all my attention to amassing money; nothing else matters, you can get money and attain a fortune, but you have forgotten that you are here to lead a balanced life. Man does not live by bread alone.

For example, if you belong to some cult, or religious group, and become fanatical about it, excluding yourself from your friends, society, and social activities, you will become unbalanced, inhibitedfrustrated as well. Nature insists on a balance. If all your time is devoted to external things and possessions, you will find yourself hungry for peace of mind, harmony, love, joy, or perfect health. You will find that you cannot buy anything that is real. You can amass a fortune, or have millions of dollars; this is not evil or bad. Love of money to the exclusion of everything else results in frustration, disappointment, as also disillusionment; in that sense it is the root of your evil.
