Introduction:
Why You Need This Book

E very day and every night, we are bombarded with bits and pieces of code. (No, Im not talking about putting on a tin foil hat to keep the UFOs out of your brain. This is not that kind of book.) The codes I refer to here are from radio, television, microwave, GPS, cell phones and much more.

All these codes serve us in one way or another, if we know how to receive them and decode them. From the most basic Morse Code to the sophisticated telemetry from the Hubble Space Telescope, all this information is in some kind of code.

But there is an entirely different Code.

It is a secret Code that only a relatively few people have found and deciphered.

Like all secret Codes, it is shrouded in mystery, wrapped in riddles and enclosed in inscrutability.

People have been seeing bits and pieces of this Code for millennia, but many have not grasped the meaning of the diverse parts.

Very few people realize what this Code is and even fewer people know how to use it.

It is the Code which allows dreams to be realized; the Code that opens doors and makes all things possible.

Countless people have been seeking it, but if they find it, they dont have the key to unlock it.

This hard to find and hard to break code is The Prosperity Code .

When you take a closer look at its fundamental origins, the history of humankind has been almost wholly taken up with the quest for prosperity. Our earliest ancestors, like all animals on the planet, were constantly questing for food and shelter from the elements. If they had something to eat, they felt prosperous because their bellies were full. If they went hungry, they continued their quest.

As they became more civilized over the years, their search for prosperity continued through acquiring more and more of whatever it was that made them feel prosperous. (Even those who called themselves recluses or hermits were seeking their own special form of prosperity with solitude, ashes or sackcloth.)

As soon as we humans are born into this world, we seek prosperity in nourishment, shelter and one of the various forms of love that has developed over the millennia. In our earliest time on this planet, we evolved our skills to be nomadic hunters and gatherers. The group celebrated their prosperity with a feast when the hunters brought home an animal.

As we continued through the eons, we found that we could stay in one place and grow our own form of prosperity with livestock, fruits, vegetables and grains. From that discovery sprang settlements, towns, cities, and nation-states. And conflict ensued.

Wars were started to be won and lost.

Empires were built and toppled.

Quests were undertaken.

Lives were affected.

All in the quest for prosperity.

Jan Van Rijn, an 18 th Century Dutch burgher, was judged prosperous because he and his family were what we now call fat or obese. A thin person was derided as a poor person. Having enough resources to overeat was considered an ideal thing. Consuming copious amounts of food, and in the case of the proverbial burgher, having an investment in rare tulip bulbs, were sure signs of prosperity.

Many people tried many things to become prosperous; some worked, most didnt.

Prosperity is not just having things. It is the consciousness that attracts the things. Prosperity is a way of living and thinking, and not just having money or things. Poverty is a way of living and thinking, and not just a lack of money or things. Eric Butterworth

Those whose ideas failed inevitably asked themselves: What is the secret of prosperity? I keep striving for abundance and somehow fall short. Is there some sort of code I cant recognize? What is it? Where do I find it? How do I solve it?

The Prosperity Code has eluded seekers for centuries. It has mysteriously escaped the clutching hands of those who wanted it the most.

Yet, others seemed to have it from the get-go. They had no trouble in manifesting abundance for themselves.

A code is meaningless to those who do not have the key; yet anyone with the key are able to use the code to their advantage.

Do you have the key to the Prosperity Code? Perhaps you know of someone who is very prosperous. Do they have the key to the Code?

We live in a Universe of Abundance. Abundance should be ours for the mere asking. Why do we suffer and strive so hard with so little result?

Countless books have been written about this quest for the key to the Prosperity Code, from Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich to the classic series by Catherine Ponder and The Secret .

What makes this book any different?

This is not a book of dry, academic discussions of the theory of prosperity and abundance. If you want that, there are many places you can get it. Please pass this book along to a friend who wants a practical, workable guide that provides the experience of attracting abundance of all kinds into his or her life.

Designed to bring you into your rightful abundance, this short tome has suggestions and exercises that are easy to understand and follow.

The ideas in this book must, of necessity, have a foundation in the invisible; in the realm of Spirit. You may see Spirit as God, Allah, Buddha, Jesus, Source, The Law of Attraction or even The Great Cosmic Muffin. Your name and concept of the Higher Power is yours to use in this book as you desire.
