Chapter 1 - The New Science of Getting Rich

There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for wealth is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life. It is your spiritual birthright to enjoy abundance. Abundance is Who You Are[1]. You have an innate longing at work within you to experience fully all aspects of Who You Are – including the experience of wealth. Most of us were raised believing that to be poor is somehow virtuous. In that belief you have dismissed your desire for wealth believing that somehow you are abnormal. Now is the time to discard that belief. To continue to deny your true spiritual self and your experience of abundance is abnormal and contrary to Who You Are.

As human, you are a three part BEing— body, mind and soul. Of these three, one is of the physical universe, while the other two are of your non-physical, spiritual universe. You live in a physical universe. To do so comfortably, requires money. In order to have money, one of your primary objectives must be the study of the science of getting rich. Personal growth requires a discipline of self-development. To be successful in the science of getting rich, you must unfold your soul and discover your talents. The object of all life is development; everything that lives has an inalienable right to the full development that it is capable of attaining. You must expand your spiritual awareness and in doing so your life purpose will arise.

Your right to life means that you have the free and unrestricted use of all things that are necessary for the development of your ultimate mental, spiritual, and physical experience. In other words, you have the right to be rich. Abundance is yours for the asking– or better said, your creation. To be really rich is to experience the true nature and beauty of life. It is to experience yourself as wise, powerful, and worthy. As a spiritual being you are of the Energy of God. In your highest expression of Self, you are of the ultimate Essence of Wisdom, Power and Value. Your experience of abundance is the result of your personal expression of these divine qualities. It is our innate nature to seek a greater and greater experience of happiness. Those who enjoy success in this endeavor are those who understand and utilize the universal Causal Truth Principles. For these persons, the result is not only joy and serenity, but abundance as well.
