that you are； in truth； a cocreator。 Make certain that you
often review what your responsibility is； in your cocreative
partnership。
Chapter four； 〃Let Go And Let God；〃 helps you develop a
strong faith based on a deep understanding。 It will assist you
in freely letting go of your image； turning it over to the power
within you； so that the power itself can go to work and begin
to materialize in physical results； as an exact replica of your
mental image。
The next chapter； 〃Expect An Abundance；〃 will prove to
be a mindexpanding experience。 The word 〃expectation〃 will
take on a brand new meaning for you and you will witness the
awesome power invoked by this mindset。
〃The Law Of Vibration And Attraction；〃 clears up many
question marks that have been in our minds for years。 It
bees evident why some people keep attracting what they
do not want； while others attract exactly what they do want。
You will learn how to magize yourself to the good that you
desire。 〃The RiskTakers〃 chapter clearly explains that there is
absolutely no pensation for playing it safe。 It is essential
that you first step out； before you can begin to move toward
the destination you have chosen for yourself。
The real winners in life are； more often than not； only two
or three percent more effective than those who lose。 〃The
Razor's Edge〃 chapter clearly illustrates this point。 You will
quickly understand that you can be every bit as effective as
anyone you read about or even hear about。 Feelings of
inferiority； as well as any doubts you may be entertaining
relative to your capability； will quickly fall by the wayside and
be left far behind； as you near your destination。
As you e around the final turn on your road to
achievement； you will be cautioned not to look back。 The
〃Don't Think In Reverse〃 chapter will quickly clear up the
question of why some people keep getting the same results；
year after year。 This illustrates one of the most basic； and yet
one of the most important； rules governing success in life。
As we go racing down the home stretch； 〃The Vacuum
Law Of Prosperity〃 shows us how to open all of the doors； that
will enable the good that we seek to e to us from all sides。
This is not only a rewarding law； but a truly enjoyable one for
you to learn。 It will help pull all of the other ideas together； to
plete your picture and get you to your desired destination
safely and on schedule。
Before you begin； let me caution you once again； that
reading and memorizing will never 〃make it happen〃 for you。 It
is only understanding and application of the right ideas that
will produce the results you desire。 Think about each idea very
closely。 They are all simple and easy to understand； but you
must act on them。 Keep this book with you。 Continually review
it； and you will begin to see evidence of everything that is
explained in it in your material world。 This entire book has
been prepared with the sincere hope that you will enjoy every
step of your journey into a truly new way of living。

Me and Money
The Edgewater Beach Hotel
In 1923； at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago； eight
of the world's wealthiest financiers met。 These eight men
controlled more money than the United States' government at
that time。 They included：
The president of the largest independent steel
pany；
The president of the largest gas pany；
The greatest wheat speculator；
The president of the New York Stock Exchange；
A member of the President's cabi；
The greatest 〃bear〃 on Wall Street；
The head of the world's greatest monopoly；
The president of the Bank of International
Settlement。
Certainly； one would have to admit； that a group of the
world's most successful men was gathered in that place； at
least； men who had found the secret of 〃earning money。〃
Now let's see where these men were twentyfive years
later：
The president of the largest independent steel pany；
Charles Schwab； lived on borrowed money for five years before
he died bankrupt。
The president of North America's largest gas pany；
Howard Hopson； went insane。
The greatest wheat speculator； Arthur Cutton； died
abroad； insolvent。
The president of the New York Stock Exchange； Richard
Whitny； was sent to Sing Sing Penitentiary。
A member of the President's cabi； Albert Fall； was
pardoned from prison so he could die at home。
The greatest 〃bear〃 on Wall Street； Jesse Livermore； died
a suicide。
The head of the greatest monopoly； Ivar Krueger； killed
himself。
The president of the Bank of International Settlement；
Leon Fraser； also died a suicide。
Each of these men learned well the art of earning money；
but it would seem that not one of them had ever learned how
to live the 〃rich life〃； which was their birthright。
It is stories like this one that have caused many well
meaning； but ignorant people to say； 〃See； I told you it is not
good to have a lot of money； it's bad；〃 or； 〃It just goes to show
you that rich people really aren't happy；〃 but of course； that is
just not true。 For although these eight men would appear to
have 〃slid off the track；〃 there are many wealthy people who
are very happy； and who do a tremendous amount of good
with their money； they live healthy； wellbalanced lives。
Consider thismoney will have a greater influence on your
life than almost any other modity you can think of。
Indeed； the sudden loss or acquisition of money will affect
your attitude to a tremendous extent。 Therefore； you must
agree that everyone should have a deep understanding of
exactly what money is； and of the laws governing its
attraction。 Yet； the sad fact is that not one person in ten does。
Niyfive people out of a hundred settle for whatever they
get； wishing they had more all the way from the cradle to the
casket； never understanding that they could actually have had
all they wanted。
Let me digress for a momentas you journey through this
book； you might have a tendency to let your mind wander off；
either thinking about someone you know who has earned a
great deal of money or possibly about someone who has gone
into bankruptcy。 But I want to suggest that you attempt to
keep focusing only on yourself； because what someone else
has or does not have； is not going to affect you and it is your
financial situation that you want to improve。
Money Is Important
One of the most prevalent misconceptions concerning
money； relates to its importance。 For example； how many
times have you heard people say in conversation； 〃Money isn't
everything。〃 or 〃Money isn't important。〃 or 〃I don't care about
money。〃 Well； the people who say these things might not care
about money； but I'll bet their car dealer cares about it； their
grocer does； and so does the person who holds their mortgage。
In truth； there can be no denial of the fact that money is
important to any person living in a civilized society。 Therefore；
to argue that it is not as important as this or that； is absurd。
For nothing can take the place of money in the arena in which
it is used！
Money Is A Servant
Now that I have affirmed the importance of money； let me
backtrack to add this one word of caution always remember；
money is a servant； you are the master。 Be very careful not to
reverse that equation； because many people of high
intelligence have already done so； to their great detriment。
Unfortunately； many of these poor souls loved money and
used people； which violated one of the most basic laws
governing true financial success。 You should always love
people and use money； rather than the reverse！
Another myth many people like to accept about money is
that it only es as a result of 〃luck〃 or 〃good fortune。〃 For
instance； whenever people gather to talk about someone they
know who has been financially successful； there is always
someone among them who will say； 〃Harry was just lucky；〃 or
〃Harry was just in the right place at the right time。〃 But I want
to assure you in no uncertain terms； that although 〃luck〃
obviously plays some
