FOREWORD 
 
 ORDS of Truth written or spoken 
 from a consciousness of the absolute 
 reality of the substance in them, do 
 more than satisfy the intellect or the 
 senses. They are God's means of bringing to 
 pass the very Good about which they are uttered. 
 Therefore, Reader, read slowly and ponder 
 these words in your heart. They will uncover 
 the Rich Mentality, with which God has en- 
 dowed you and open the Way to your perpetual 
 Prosperity. 
 
 The author, herself, is a living demonstration 
 of the Truth that she declares, and she knows 
 that what has come to her is a free gift of God 
 to all. 
 
 May this message be a fulfillment of the 
 decree of the Author of all wealth "for it is 
 He that giveth thee power to get wealth"- 
 respecting every word of Truth that He has sent 
 forth through his consecrated Messengers: 
 
 "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow 
 from heaven, and returneth not thither, but

 watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth 
 and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and 
 bread to rh'i (^ater:" 
 
 "So shall. my word be that goeth forth from 
 oui. of my mouth: it shall not return unto me 
 void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, 
 and prosper in the thing where to I sent it." 
 Isaiah 55:10, 11.

 THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 WILL take up tonight the second sub- 
 ject of my course, The Rich Mental- 
 ity. The world is being educated, as 
 never before, to recognize the truth, 
 the whole truth, about prosperity. The world is 
 demanding more today of the noble and ideal, 
 of honesty in all financial dealings, than ever 
 before. We are going through a very critical 
 time and those who know most about the truth in 
 connection with prosperity, success and kindred 
 subjects will pass through this crisis with the 
 least proportion of unrest and sense of loss. The 
 more materialistic, those of the commercial 
 world who must have money in order to feel 
 rich, will suffer most from panic, the disturbance 
 and pressure. 
 
 But as we go through these critical times, we 
 are purified and cleansed, especially if we try to 
 think correctly of that which appears to our dis- 
 advantage. I would like to make a statement 
 here at the very beginning and have you enter- 
 
 7 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 tain it tonight in the silence, and plant this state- 
 ment, this idea, in your heart as you would a 
 seed, to grow. It is this: That the more difficult 
 the situation is, the higher you will rise if you 
 think correctly about it. Let us make a familiar 
 and close communication with the heart of it, 
 so that in the future when we may need to be 
 strong under great pressure or temptation we 
 may through this correct thinking about it be 
 blessed and comforted. 
 
 SILENCE 
 
 This is an excellent rule and true of all our 
 activities and especially of prosperity, that as 
 you think correctly about a thing, you are master 
 of the situation and no evil in it nor loss nor limi- 
 tation can hold or bind you. But also you will 
 have need to philosophize about what is the 
 correct, the right thinking, or what the highest 
 consciousness is about a subject. I believe that 
 the only answer here must be to think as God 
 thinks about it. We cannot go beyond this and 
 to think about an experience as God thinks about 
 it is victory. 
 
 Right thinking is health, joy, freedom, pros- 
 perity. Prosperity, as I said last night, does 
 not consist in the things you possess in the 
 money you have in bank. In fact, we might 
 
 8 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 say from a very free standpoint, that if you 
 absolutely understand prosperity you have no 
 need of any bank account. Prosperity is a way, 
 a mode, of thinking. So is poverty. You are 
 poor if you class yourself this way, and you are 
 rich if you can think rich thoughts, thoughts 
 that are constructive, optimistic, unlimited 
 these instantly crown you successful. 
 
 The mentality must first be rich towards God 
 rich in God-knowledge and consciousness. I 
 cannot think of wealth and prosperity and suc- 
 cess as a lasting possession to those who are cal- 
 lous regarding the spiritual life. Dr. Bucke, 
 who studied cosmic consciousness for over thirty 
 years, states that in all his examinations of men 
 and women he has never come across a single 
 case of cosmic consciousness where the indi- 
 vidual was bent on making money; whose whole 
 conception of life was accumulation. This is a 
 law. You cannot love God and love money. 
 You cannot both work for a great ideal and 
 work for selfish ends, for money or a living. 
 X It is a mistake to work for a living. To work 
 j mis way is to be a slave under dominion to the 
 laws of slavery. Never work for a living. How 
 can you gain a life? Lifejis! ~ Vou cannot pay 
 for it. You have no price to give in exchange 
 
 9 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 for life, for your breath and your being. You 
 are not here to work by strenuous effort to make 
 life. You are here under the blessing of God to 
 live a life of wholesome, loving kindness, of suc- 
 cess and good will towards each other and the 
 bringing out of your own nature, the divine self. 
 God lives you every moment. If you are cori- 
 scious that God is your very life and being you 
 will not work to express it in the terms of mortal 
 consciousness, in dollars and cents arid salary. 
 You will no longer serve the old world concep- 
 tion of prosperity. What you do you will do 
 with your might in the service of Principle, 
 like Brother Lawrence he did not work for a 
 living, he worked to express God by living in so 
 attractive a way as to^iraw other men to the Di- 
 vine Life? The kitchen of that monastery wKereT 
 he cookect was more magnetic than any other 
 part of the whole concern. He was rich towards 
 God and man, not like an ox driven by the 
 duties demanded of him. He was a man serv- 
 ing a great Principle and he lived in security. 
 
 You are useful to God as you are emptied of 
 self and keep from worrying, fearing and fret- 
 ting about today, tomorrow or yesterday. Your 
 life is inspired and inspiring all about you. 
 Whoever comes in contact with an inspired soul 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 realizes the beauty o_f it The Rich Mentality 
 is the inspiration of life. I will say something 
 about tHat presently, Hut for the moment I will ^ 
 affirm this, that the rich mentality is so full of I 
 awakened consciousness, so absolutely certain of \ 
 the Truth, the Ideal and the Real, that it never 
 fears poverty.^ It is not being hindered by any 
 effort to fight poverty, or lack, or want. It is 
 all love, all peace, because it is the love of recog- 
 nized good. 
 
 Now the old life of poverty may be described 
 as it is in Genesis, the curse, the old Adamic 
 curse on man, that he shall work by the sweat of 
 his brow, and the race has considered this law as 
 spxingmg from the gr^tjnincLof^God, the great 
 mindjDf Wisdom. But we recognize that this is 
 not the design of the Mqst_High; it is an idea 
 brought about through the mind of man, under 
 the belief that he has fallen into sin and must 
 be punished and, after utterly paying the price, 
 enter into paradise. This is not the attitude as 
 we find it in the quickened character. If you are 
 realizing inwardly that yoju are the Son of God^ 
 you will take the stand of JesusChrisFand throw 
 off the yoke of the old curse anTTrefuse to work 
 by the sweat of your brow. You know that the 
 lesser Ijiws are fulfilled in the great law that sets 
 
 11 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 man in tune with the Infinite. Because he loves 
 God first, his Divinity, he is set free from every 
 law that limits." It Is the only law that sets man 
 really free to love with all one's mind and soul 
 and strength, and to exercise this love toward 
 one's fellow beings to love your neighbor as 
 your God, or as your Divine Self. 
 
 Thus is man introduced to himself as he finds 
 the Man who is really rich. He begins to realize 
 that he is nt poor in spirit but rich in wisdom, 
 God being his mind, his intelligence, his think- 
 
 -' - O **_ _ " 
 
 ing power, arid he is governed and guided and 
 controlled by the Rich Mentality. He does not 
 groan and moan, and fear poverty. Nor does 
 he prepare for a future that will lack anything 
 good so long as he knows but one Provider, One 
 
 ~ < ' aj _ m u j r r ^n*^ 
 
 Inexhaustible Presence. For that faith closely 
 allies hirtTwith this Great Spirit, active and liv- 
 ing withmjiim. Therefore he 3oes not prepare 
 for olcTage with its sorrow and lack so unattract- 
 ive. He intends to become more attractive, for 
 the older he grows the nearer he should be to 
 the GreaHCenter, and the Great White Light of 
 Being. 
 
 The rich mentality fears nothing, and he is 
 free from the" burden and care lirTat the world 
 groans under. He is not under the law of wear 
 
 ' 12 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 and tear and exhaustion because this rich sub- 
 consciousness of him causes him to know~that 
 his good is inexhaustible! He is not serving a 
 good "that is liable to cease, but his good is so 
 manifold and widely spread that it might be 
 accused of wastefulness. Think of all that the 
 hills and mountains contain that has never been 
 revealed or opened up to this age ! The wonder- 
 ful gems and jewels, gold and silver, that await 
 future ages, already stored underground, and 
 this is but the symbol of the greater storehouse 
 of God. 
 
 The man of this vision exercises faith and he 
 wants to exercise faith. In the rich mentality 
 he never thinks that he can be lazy and ncvcr^ 
 work any more. He knows that he can convert 
 Divine energy^and force every moment and so he 
 is active with great dynamic power. He uses 
 faith every moment. IfTs rn^joy^and incentive, 
 and life is thoroughly interesting to the one who 
 practically enters into an alignment with the 
 rich mentality. 
 
 The rich mentality is supreme in this, that it 
 believes absolutely in the good. You cannot 
 persuade it that^evil is a reality; it does not sk 
 down to meditate on evil ; TTTTas no moments of 
 malice or jealousy orHiate; it has no time for 
 
 13 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 these, for its whole time is taken up on lines that 
 are strong, powerful witnesses of the good. And 
 it pays the one who exercises his mind in this 
 direction, and he never consents to talk about 
 evil as a reality. He knows that thinking about 
 good is the rule and the standard which is his 
 unfailing resource. He entertains it for his 
 business life, for his social life; in his relations 
 with men; with his own family and children. 
 Every rcla tigrish ip must be maintained in the 
 recognition of the good ancTthe good only. Thus 
 heTs educating himself, training himself as God 
 desires him to live and to be happy. 
 
 Now we are all after that, are we not? If we 
 could find one word to cover our aspirations to- 
 night, could we find a larger word, or that is 
 more inclusive than joy or happiness? I do not 
 mean that happiness which the world so defines 
 to us a limitation that fritters away and is 
 liable to be lost. I mean the lasting happiness 
 the happiness that is secured to the individual by 
 fidelity to principle. 
 
 Infinite Mind made you for happiness; it 
 made you capable of a supreme bliss, able to en- 
 joy as you little dream today you can enjoy life. 
 You will begin to smile the moment you actually 
 believe this and do away with the wrinkled 
 
 14 " 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 thoughts, the troubled thoughts. You will grow 
 perpetually young through the inspiration of the 
 Almighty penetrating to the innermost realm of 
 your heart, and you can keep it there and it is 
 bound to make you strong and beautiful. 
 
 The rich mentality maintains a cheerful atti- 
 tude which can smile pain down, and sorrow 
 away, and seming trouble into nothingness. It 
 minimizes instantly triat which the wqrfcT f eels 
 to be oppression and loss and inharmpny, and 
 feels the niasteryoverit. It is a wonderful capi- 
 tal! 
 
 A man once came to my door in Alameda and 
 wanted to sell me some shoestrings. You know 
 the kind of a man who sells shoestrings. He is 
 a man who does not smile very much. If he 
 smiled very much he would be selling something 
 else than shoestrings. He does not have the rich 
 mentality towards life and well being; he does 
 not have the right attitude towards the law of 
 success. And he came all bent over, although a 
 young man in years, and begged* me to buy a 
 shoestring. He looked so lugubrious, complain- 
 ing of every resident of my town, declaring that 
 nobody was kind and nobody would buy. So he 
 had to get a lesson and this was the lesson : 
 
 He was told to go away and instead of look- 
 15 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 ing so mournful that nobody wanted to open the 
 door, he should go forth with a smile and with 
 faith in himself and in the kindness of those 
 with whom he should come in contact. He 
 said: 
 
 "Will that pay? And will it sell my needles 
 and shoestrings?" 
 
 He was assured that it would, far better than 
 the attitude he had taken. In a few days he came 
 back and told me he had taken my advice and 
 that he had sold more in that afternoon than in 
 a month, and his business had picked up and was 
 growing. That is what the smile does. And 
 the world needs your smile; it is the smile that 
 heals the world. It is the smile, not the groan, 
 that makes for a spiritual life and for success. 
 Then it should be your part to contribute these 
 to the world and help others who are bestowing 
 smiles upon the world to redeem it. 
 
 The rich mentality can smile because it kjiows. 
 It is sure of some things, because it is absolutely 
 certajn of others worth while. It faiowsTjojI as 
 tenderness ancTloye ras the~ All- Providing Pres; 
 ence and therefore it smiles with an inner smile 
 of good cheer and certainty and stren^th^ 
 
 The riclTTneritaHty~lIbes not lo^ejTioney, it 
 loves_God. How""coiild_. it love God supremely 
 
 16 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 and lovemoney? It does not divide its forces 
 foolisKIy, foTTf sees readily that those who love 
 money become metallic, their eyes are metallic, 
 their souls are metallic, and the strength of 
 muscle and brain lessens daily, being sold in one 
 who serves money. The rich mentality is master 
 of money, does not serve money, and, being its 
 master, money feels attracted towards that one^. 
 Inhere is a certain intelligence in money. It 
 wants to be used by those who are able intel- 
 ligently to keep it in circulation, for circulation 
 is the very spirit of money. If it is hoarded or 
 put away, it corrodes and dies, but as it is kept 
 in motion, it is kept in life. Therefore it is not 
 the accumulation and the grabbing of money 
 that constitute wealth, but the giving and letting 
 it go forthjreely. To the rich mentality money 
 is a blessmgpBut to the poor mentality it is a 
 curse. It is not that money is the source of evil, 
 but the love of money. Pam and sickness and 
 sorrow would vanish if we would renounce the 
 love of money, and love God as our Provider, 
 Success and Life. "iTTie earth is the Lord's and 
 thTTullness tKereof." 
 
 As you decide to stand by the principles of 
 Truth in your success and prosperity, you no 
 longer work under the false idea of economy, 
 
 v 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 because many people are only economical 
 through a belief in poverty, not from the stand- 
 point of prosperity. Their prosperity is only 
 beggaring them. You have seen people that 
 deny themselves the luxuries and comforts of 
 life, the things that make life beautiful, although 
 they have much property and money aplenty but 
 not the right thought. 
 
 It is then a matter of thinking, of contacting 
 this great white Truth. Ignorance or know- 
 ledge? MoseT~is an~example. His great riches 
 were inexhaustible; so magnificent were they 
 that after he had taken the children of Israel out 
 of slavery in Egypt, he fed them by a setf- 
 conscigus, working miracle-law for forty yeajrs 
 with a strange bread known as "the manna in the 
 wilderness." Djd YOU- think that an int^rferjng 
 God hact given this blessmgfto the Israelites? It 
 was the direct w&rk of the mind of Moses, the 
 God in Moses. He knew how to produce and re- 
 pToduce and to keep it urj indefinitely. He knew 
 how to strike a flint rock by which it would 
 spring fortli~ a refreshing stream. Repeatedly 
 he did this and it was but the forerunner of great 
 things to come, the symbol of a consciousness-of- 
 providing, that is close at hand, so close" to you 
 ancTtcTme as to be "nearer than our breath" aind 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 yet we may pass through this incarnation with- 
 out recognizing or receiving any benefit from 
 it if We close our eyes""tcTits Presence, or our 
 hearts to its reception. It needs that we under- 
 stand that God is Frosperity, and every blessing 
 proceeds from the infinite, inexhaustible^Re- 
 sourceT, the Mind_gf Tjod. We want to know 
 more and more of this wonderful law and how 
 to apply it in life so that it shall quickly bring 
 to us our own inheritance. 
 
 The rich mentality is aljwaysorijrinal. You 
 are origmal because Qod majej^ou so. I say you 
 are original, but do ^^wjnsistugonit? Are you 
 even willing to be origmal? Tquestion whether 
 you are willing to be as Godjmadeyou. How 
 splendid and royal and kingly, if everyone 
 would be willingjto be original! To be original^ 
 is to ]) eT^od^Ma n . It is to be well and to be^T 
 home. When you do not feel at home it is be- 
 cause there is too muchjDretense. I mean that 
 we are too willing to go with the crowd, that we 
 would rather be a counterfeit than the genuine 
 self that God made us. There would be a great 
 transformation if you would take the stand that 
 God never made two exactly alike. We are all 
 independent, and yet beautifully interdependent 
 independent in one way,~~and from another 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 standpoint, interdependent. If we realized this -' 
 there would never be selfishness and discord. It 
 would be the Bellamy plan come to fruition. ( 
 Every man would find his work, his place, and 
 we would all be doing what we enjoy doing. { 
 That would indeed be the Golden Age. ^ 
 
 Insist upon originality and resources will . * 
 come to you whefTyduTare pushed or cornered. ^ 
 You will be the resourceful one that God made V 
 ymi. God will impTess^upon you the new _way J A 
 ami means to take. 
 
 I have a cousin in the West who is an original 
 thinker, who never insists on doing things as 
 other people do. He has ideas of his own be- 
 cause he dares to think with God and to let God 
 think through him. He believes that if he 
 should lose all that he has he could easily re- 
 gain it through this consciousness. In talking 
 to some club friends one day he affirmed that, 
 if given a nucleus, even though it appeared use- 
 less, that he would make it produce something 
 without the use of capital. The friends took 
 him up and he promised to try it out. Looking 
 about for some nucleus they saw a pile of scrap 
 tin which was about to go into the garbage 
 wagon. It certainly looked useless and impos- 
 sible. But the friends said, "There it isj" and 
 
 20 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 they left the shop laughing. He felt almost 
 vanquished by his nucleus, but he looked at it 
 and concentrated his mind upon this tin and he 
 said: "This tin will tell me what it can do, what 
 is can shape and form and what can come out of 
 it." Presently there came into his mind the 
 picture of a little matchbox. And so he began 
 to cut and bend and pretty soon he had shaped a 
 little matchbox. He called a boy passing along 
 and asked him to take the matchbox out and try 
 to sell it for twenty- five cents ; that, if he did, he 
 would give him ten cents of it for selling it. The 
 boy came back delighted a little while later, hav- 
 ing sold the matchbox for twenty-five cents, and 
 receiving the ten cents promised. So with this 
 capital of fifteen cents my cousin invested in some 
 paint with which to decorate the match boxes. 
 The boy being so happy with his sale, soon 
 brought several other boys, who also wanted to 
 sell matchboxes, and so in the course of several 
 weeks he had quite a capital as a result of that 
 scrap tin. And he proved there is a law within 
 us that we need never remain cast down or 
 crushed if we will not believe that we are 
 crushed or cornered, but keep our eye on the 
 original way out. 
 
 21 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 We have had such false teaching about pros- 
 perity from the pulpit. Yet the Churches and 
 Cathedrals stand as monuments of prosperity, 
 though the ministers have declared that Christ 
 was poor and that in some strange way his fol- 
 lowers should also be poor. Jesus Christ was 
 not poor. How can you think that he was poor, 
 or is poor? Why, we are all poor compared to 
 him, as we are manifesting today. If you know 
 not of what wealth consists, are you not poor as 
 a Vanderbilt who on his deathbed cried out, 
 "Poor _and needy indeed," because his wealth 
 consisted o^ things which he coukLnot take with 
 him, and his mind an empty^vojd. 
 
 Jesus Christ was the wealthiest man who ever 
 trod this earth. He needed not to exercise any/ 
 effort to maintain himself. He sent his dis-) 
 ciples forth, telling them not to provide two 
 coats, or shoes, or to take scrip with them, for, 
 he said, "ThemajLJ send jforth is worthy^f his 
 hire," that is, hewiTTbe maintained by a Divme / 
 Ow. After a time he said to them, u When I 
 sent you without purse and scrip, lacked ye any- 
 thing?" and they said, "Nay, Lord, we lacked 
 nothing." 
 
 Jesus Christ was not poor. Would you be 
 poor if you could heal every disease that came to 
 
 22 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 you? Would you be poor? Would you be poor 
 if you could raise a dead man from the tomb? 
 Would you be poor if you could turn weak water 
 into rich wine? Would you be poor or would 
 you be rich? Would you be poor if you could 
 take two loaves and five fishes and feed five thou- 
 sand Belgians today with all they want and have 
 much left over? Would you be poor or would 
 you be rich? Be sensible! Was Jesus Christ 
 poor? Why he had the miracle working Mind 
 the Mind that increases through rich think- 
 ing, rich knowledge. And so my Christ is not a 
 poor Christ. / wish I were as wealthy. What 
 were a million dollars in your hand to that 
 power he possessed? Which would you take? 
 Not one of you would hesitate a second if you 
 are sensible. You would be wealthy with that 
 knowledge. 
 
 Paul says that whereas Christ was rich, he took 
 upon himself poverty that we might be rich. 
 That is, he took upon himself the appearance of 
 poverty and he provedTriat having is^^Tpros- 
 perity, but if one TETnks richly he is indeed the 
 wealthiest of men. 
 
 If you are working consciously with the great 
 law of God, you are inspired. Ask yourself, 
 "Am I inspired in the work I am doing? " 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 put enthusiasm into my work? Or am I work- 
 ing as a slave man, driven and bound?" If the 
 latter, heal yourself of these thoughts and be- 
 come enthusiastic. 
 
 The rich mentality does not scorn to work or 
 scorn any character of work. It loves to work 
 because inspired in all that it does. I said that 
 no man could work for money only. A man 
 demonstrated this once by hiring a man for three 
 dollars a day just to take a brick up from a spot 
 on one side of the street and place it in another 
 spot across the street and vice versa all day long. 
 At first the man entered into the job with alac- 
 rity, but he soon grew weary, and the outcome 
 was that he threw up the job, refused to work at 
 it and said he would rather starve than to work 
 one more day at such a terrible job as that. 
 
 We are not here to work for anything less than 
 to unfold our God nature, our Divine Self, and 
 this is not possible when we concentrate on 
 money alone. What is money? Why~you are 
 the creator and maker of money. You put into 
 it all that makes it of value and you can with- 
 draw that and it is not worth any more than sand. 
 God did not make money valuable; to him there 
 is no difference between a pebble and a diamond.

 r 
 
 u must give if you would get; the man who, 
 
 /forgets to giy^Torpcts how to receive. He closes 
 the door oT receptivity; he closes the door of 
 life and is like aTaRe which, unless opened at 
 both ends, becomes stagnant. Many people are 
 planting disease, physical poverty and misery 
 of all kinds through not maintaining the other 
 Jialf of the law of Prosperity^l^hey wanLto re^_

 a unit and hjivetKe law w,oikfgt^ou. "With 
 what measure you give, itsrTall be measured 
 back to you." 
 
 This mind that is the Ridi Mentality nevej: 
 takes offense nor receives an msult. Think aFbut 
 that it rTever receives an insult. It never feels 
 
 hurt and is ncvej^&scouragcd 5 it is never jealous. 
 ft^Ts never an^^^becaus^-anger is poverty of 
 consciousness ; no one gets angry^ until he thinks 
 he is inefficient or is conscious of a sense _oj-jvea'K r . 
 ness. The Tich mentality never knows malice; 
 resentment never suggests itself to it. It is never 
 doubtful of tne go_Q^"oTTts possibiTTties. It never 
 listens to words oflTrreporF and therefore never 
 repeats them. It does not gossip nor love iniqui- 
 
 25 
 
THE RICH MENTALITY 
 
 tous things because the rich mentality is LOVE. 
 It has always words of praise for all who come 
 within its presence. It has no enemies, is not 
 self-seeking and knows no pride. "Let this mind 
 be in you" and your body will become perfect, 
 enduring, strong and beautiful, and your affairs 
 full of delight and plenty. 
 
 The rich mentality does not look for flaws, is 
 not complaining; never worries, frets nor fears; 
 never anxious nor overcome; it never fights, re- 
 sists, nor in cowardice turns its back. Hate is un- 
 known to it and death has no terrors, while sick- 
 ness is completely under its control. It is never 
 sad nor gloomy; it never dwells upon evil for five 
 minutes; it hasjio doubt of the power of good: 
 does not condemrilior judge, all because it is trie" 
 Mind of God, the richest Mind in all Being. * 
 
 Let us be silent for a moment and entertain 
 these statements. Let us relax and open our 
 hearts to the Greater Self, to the Self more abun- 
 dant, to the One Self of us which is not duality 
 nor multiplicity nor division, but One Self, 
 radiantly beautiful and divine, the Self that is 
 described only in deific terms.

 SILENCE 
 
 I am rich in God's love. 
 
 I give my best to the world and the best the 
 world has comes back to me. 
 
 I am Prosperity. I am Success. God made 
 me so. 
 
 I claim my own freely and fearlessly. 
 
 My Prosperity is based upon the true founda- 
 tion, therefore is changeless, is GOD, and the 
 Spirit, overshadowing and indwelling, my one 
 and everlasting good. Amen!
