reasonand　go　your　own　way；　the　minute　you　recognize　your　
error　and　reaffirm　your　image；　Spirit　will　pick　up　right　where　it　
left　off　when　you　chose　to　take　over　the　controls。　Then　you　will　
instantaneously　be　back　in　the　right　vibration　and　on　the　
correct　pathway；　leading　to　success　in　life。　

Follow　the　instructions　below；　to　the　letter。

Relax　and　see　yourself　already　in　possession　of　the　good　
that　you　desire。　

Second　Principle

Expect　An　Abundance　

〃The　mind　is　a　powerful　mag　and　as　such；　it　
attracts　whatever　corresponds　to　its　ruling　state。　
Expectation　dictates　what　that　ruling　state　will　be　
and　therefore　governs　what　corresponds　to　the　mind　
and　is　attracted　into　your　life。　Expectation　can　be　
either　a　blessing　or　a　curse　but　either　way　it　is　
certainly　one　of　the　most　powerful　unseen　forces　in　
your　life。〃

What　are　you　doing　to　increase　your　ine？　

If　your　answer　to　this　question　is　〃nothing〃　or　if　you　are　
just　beginning　to　think　seriously　about　what　you　could　do；　you　
have　probably　not　yet　grasped　the　ideas　presented　in　the　
previous　chapters。　You　should　be　aware　that　the　chapters　in　
this　book　resemble　the　individual　pieces　of　a　jigsaw　puzzle。　
Each　chapter　is　related；　one　to　the　other；　in　such　a　way　that　if　
we　put　them　all　together；　we　can　see　the　entire　picture。　Since　
you　are　now　well　into　the　heart　of　the　book；　I　would　ask　you　to　
pay　particularly　close　attention　to　the　ideas　which　follow；　so　
you　can　use　them　to　successfully　tie　all　the　pieces　together。　
You　will　soon　discover　that　if　the　ideas　in　this　chapter　are　
applied　with　intelligence；　Expectation　can　be　the　triggering　
mechanism　which　attracts　into　your　life；　every　good　you　
desire。　However；　if　you　do　not　exercise　extreme　caution；　
Expectation　can　also　turn；　just　as　rapidly；　into　a　destructive；　
lethal　enemy。　Therefore；　you　must　be　cognizant　of　how　you　are　
exercising　this　invisible；　but　powerful；　force。　

I　believe　you　already　understand　you　cannot　have　wealth　
in　your　material　world　until　you　have　first　visualized　the　
wealth　in　your　mind。　But　what　does　this　really　mean？　It　
means　that　before　any　of　us　can　even　begin　to　overe　the　
poverty　which　surrounds　us　in　our　external　world；　we　must　


first　conquer　the　impoverishment　that　is　buried　deep　within　
ourselves。　

In　the　preceding　pages；　I　explained　how　prosperity
properly　understoodis　simply　the　inward　awareness　of　the　
opulence；　wholeness　and　pleteness　that　abounds　within　
the　spiritual　realm。　In　other　words；　it　is　impossible　to　feel　poor　
when　you　are　conscious　of　being　enveloped　in　the　protective　
care　of　a　loving　God；　universal　spirit；　or　whatever　else　you　may　
wish　to　call　the　spiritualcenter　of　our　universe。　Let　me　repeat
there　never　is；　and　there　never　has　been　any　lack　of　supply　
other　than　that　which　we　have　created　for　ourselves　because　
of　our　own　limited　awareness。　

The　Lightbulb　Tale　

The　following　story　should　help　underscore　this　great　
truth　about　your　infinite　source　of　supply。　Visualize；　if　you　
will；　a　poor　couple　who　have　spent　their　entire　lives　living　in　
the　〃backwaters〃　of　civilization。　Then　imagine　them　suddenly　
transported　to　a　small　village　where；　to　their　astonishment；　
they　discover　that　their　new　home　is　being　lighted　by　
〃electricity。〃　Since　they　have　had　no　previous　experience　with　
that　forcein　fact　they　have　never　even　seen　an　electric　light　
before；　they　are　pletely　mesmerized　by　the　little　eight　
candlepower　electric　bulbs　which　light　their　home。　

Several　months　pass　by　and　eventually　the　couple　start　
to　regard　the　lightbulbs　as　an　accepted　facet　of　modern　life。　
However；　one　day　a　smoothtalking　salesman　appears　at　their　
door；　telling　them　their　eight　candlepower　electric　bulbs　are　no　
longer　adequate　for　their　needs。　He　tells　them　they　should　buy　
the　new　sixty　candlepowered　bulbs　which　have　just　〃e　on　
the　market。〃　Since　the　couple　has　now　bee　slightly　more　
adventuresome；　they　agree　to　let　the　salesman　demonstrate　
his　〃newfangled〃　product。　As　soon　as　the　new　bulb　is　plugged　
in　and　the　electricity　turned　on；　the　couple　bees　transfixed　
once　again；　for　not　only　does　the　new　bulb　emit　a　light；　it　
actually　illuminates　the　entire　room。　Never　in　their　wildest　
fantasies　had　the　couple　ever　imagined　that　the　source　of　the　


new　flood　of　illumination　had　been　there　all　the　time。　Nor　had　
they　realized　this　enormously　increased　light　could　originate　
from　the　same　current　which　fed　their　little　eight　candlepower　
bulb。　

It's　strange！　We　smile　at　the　naiveté　demonstrated　by　this　
poor　couple；　but　the　truth　is；　most　of　us　are　even　less　aware　of　
our　own　power；　than　this　couple　was　of　the　power　of　electric　
current。　For　like　the　couple　in　the　story；　we　never　even　dream　
that　the　infinite　current　which　surrounds　us　could　flood　our　
lives　with　a　light　more　magnificent　than　the　most　powerful　
light　bulb　ever　devised。　We　never　grasp　the　simple　truth　that　
all　we　need　to　do　to　improve　our　results　is　to　plug　a　larger；　
more　prosperous　idea　into　the　infinite　current　of　life。　Instead；　
most　of　us　strangle　our　supply　with　energyimpoverished　
thoughts　of　doubt　and　fear；　which　entirely　cutoff　the　inflow　of　
prosperity。　

I　want　to　exhort　you；　therefore；　to　resolve　to　change　your　
habitual　pattern　of　thinking　now。　That's　right；　change　it　now；　
and　remember；　the　stream　of　plenty　always　flows　towards　the　
open；　expectant　mind。　You　must　understand　you　already　have　
in　substance；　if　not　in　physical　form；　everything　necessary　to　
produce　prosperity　in　your　material　world。　The　two　
determining　factors　for　you　to　attain　the　results　you　want　are：　

1。　desire；　and　
2。　expectation。　


Up　to　this　point　you　might　have　been　living　the　way　the　
masses　live　their　entire　lives；　simply　because　you　are　
harboring　the　false　assumption　that　desire　is　the　only　thing　
which　you　need　to　reach　your　goal。　But　you　must　understand；　
if　your　desire　is　not　bined　with　the　expectation　that　you　
will　receive　what　you　desire；　you　will　find　yourself　continually　
frustrated　and　disappointed　whenever　you　begin　working　
toward　any　kind　of　material　goal。　

When　you　cast　your　mind　back　over　the　experiences　of　
your　own　life；　you　will　soon　realize　that　whenever　you　did　


reach　a　desired　goal；　you　not　only　desired　that　goal　but　you　
actually　expected　to　attain　it　as　well。　

Let　me　repeat　　desire　without　expectation　is　nothing　
more　than　wishful　thinking　and　as　we　have　already　pointed　
out；　since　the　vast　majority　of　people　wish　positive　but　expect　
negative；　they　seldom　attain　what　they　are　after。　

In　his　magnificent　book　The　Science　of　Getting　Rich；　the　
author；　Wallace　D。　Wattles；　gave　us　an　excellent　definition　of　
〃desire。〃　He　said：　〃Desire　is　the　effort　of　the　unexpressed　
possibility　within　seeking　expression　without　through　your　
action。〃　

In　other　words；　your　ideal；　dream　or　goal　　this　wealth　
you　wish　to　see　materialize　　can　only　bee　a　desire　once　it　
has　been　properly　planted　in　the　subconscious　mind。　However；　
once　your　desire　has　been　firmly　established；　it　is　the　
expectant　attitude　which　ensures　that　your　goal　or　dream　is　
not　uprooted　or　replaced　by　any　opposing　or　peting　ideas。　

In　an　effort　to　help　you　kindle　this　expectant　attitude　
toward　〃real　wealth；〃　let　us　journey　together　through　some　of　
the　preceding　chapters　in　this　book。　As　you　will　remember；　we　
began　by　discussing　〃money。〃　We　attempted　to　understand　the　
〃true　nature〃　of　money　and　we　arrived　at　the　conclusion　it　is　a　
〃useful；　obedient　servant。〃　However；　like　all　servants；　we　
learned　it　is　useful　to　us　only　when　it　is　being　employed。　
Therefore；　we　concluded；　money　must　always　be　kept　working　
or　otherwise　circulating。　For　if　it　is　not；　as　we　have　already　
mentioned；　it　will　bee　as　useless　as　old　newspapers　
stashed　away　in　an　attic。　

Next；　we　explored　the　idea　relating　to　exactly　〃how　much　
money　you　want。〃　You　bee　aware　of　the　fact　it　is　necessary　
to　be　very　specific　about　how　much　money　you　need；　to　
provide　the　things　you　want；　to　live　in　the　style
