This week’s Science of Getting Rich Club WAM raised a very thought-provoking question: “How do I create something from nothing?” At first pass, it seems it can’t be done. Isn’t that the realm of magic and illusion? How is it possible to create ANYTHING from “Nothing”?
In the Science of Getting Rich book, it talks about “Thinking Stuff”. Huh?!? It’s only when you dig under the concept of “nothing”, that you start to see the secret behind this “magic”. Wallace Wattles specifically states, “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the Universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imagined by the thought.”(Emphasis mine). Further, “You can form things in your thought, and by impressing your thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.”
So when you think about anyone “creative”, such as artists, architects, etc, this concept starts to become clearer. What they imagine becomes real. It is the true act of creation. But the truth is, we can ALL do it. Steven shared an excerpt from Jim Rohn that illustrates this. He talked about how he used to take his friends on a tour of his house, BEFORE it was built. It was completely real, just hadn’t been “created” yet. And it was humorous to visualize him standing on an “empty” lot, showing his friends around.
Rohn explains the exact process where something becomes nothing:
1 – Ideas & Imagination: (Imagine the Possibilities) This is the beginning, because thoughts are things. Just because the house hadn’t been built yet, didn’t make it any less real, as Jim would take his guests through it, describing the fireplace, the kitchen, and the very real picture window!
2 – Believe what you imagine is possible for YOU: You CAN create. If you think about it, we ALL have practice doing just that!
3 – Go to work and make it real: Time to start making it tangible.
4 – Disciplined activity: If anything truly becomes manifest physically, it takes the discipline to see it through to completion.
So now the question is: What will YOU create? What have you ALREADY CREATED through your ideas and imagination? Are you ready to make it real? Follow these steps, and truly “Create Something From Nothing”.
Thanks to everyone who was there this week, and everyone’s insights. This is but one small example of the valuable information we get every week. One reason I rarely miss a week of our club is the very insightful feedback from everyone. I encourage anyone who resonates with this to join us! What new people will I get to meet NEXT week? You?
