PREFACE
THIS book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual,
not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and
women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get
rich first, and philosophize afterward. It is for those who have, so
far, found neither the time, the means, nor the opportunity to go
deeply into the study of metaphysics, but who want results and
who are willing to take the conclusions of science as a basis for
action, without going into all the processes by which those
conclusions were reached.
It is expected that the reader will take the fundamental
statements upon faith, just as he would take statements
concerning a law of electrical action if they were promulgated by
a Marconi or an Edison; and, taking the statements upon faith,
that he will prove their truth by acting upon them without fear or
hesitation. Every man or woman who does this will certainly get
rich; for the science herein applied is an exact science, and
failure is impossible. For the benefit, however, of those who wish
to investigate philosophical theories and so secure a logical
basis for faith, I will here cite certain authorities.
The monistic theory of the universe the theory that One is All,
and that All is One; That one Substance manifests itself as the
seeming many elements of the material world -is of Hindu origin,
and has been gradually winning its way into the thought of the
western world for two hundred years. It is the foundation of all
the Oriental philosophies, and of those of Descartes, Spinoza,
Leibnitz, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Emerson.
The reader who would dig to the philosophical foundations of
this is advised to read Hegel and Emerson for himself.
In writing this book I have sacrificed all other considerations to
plainness and simplicity of style, so that all might understand.
The plan of action laid down herein was deduced from the
conclusions of philosophy; it has been thoroughly tested, and
bears the supreme test of practical experiment; it works. If you
wish to know how the conclusions were arrived at, read the
writings of the authors mentioned above; and if you wish to reap
the fruits of their philosophies in actual practice, read this book
and do exactly as it tells you to do----
