1. WELCOME!
Until this year you would have found a HUGE list of more than
200 nations where The Science of Getting Rich and this ezine are

citizens free access to the internet. It’s amazing and wonderfu
how, together, we are embracing the world with “certain way”
prosperity thinking!
It’s also getting a bit unwieldy — yikes! So instead of an
updated list here each month we’ll soon have a map on the site
and you can let me know if I’ve left out YOUR part of the world
then.
For now, welcome to all new readers! And a HUGE thank-you to all
“old” ones for helping spread this wonderful little book all over
the planet!
=================================================================
2. ‘RIGHT-ON-THE-MONEY’ QUOTATIONS
“If you change the belief first, changing the action is easier.”
— Peter McWilliams
“A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new
action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided.”
— Anthony Robbins
“He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong
convictions precede great actions.”
— J. F. Clarke
=================================================================
3. THIS EDITION’S PROMPT READER REWARD
(Are YOU Getting Last Month’s Prize?)
Each month, there are exciting prizes available to those who read
this ezine right away instead of putting it aside ’til later.
All you have to do to play the game and perhaps receive a prize
is answer a simple question — and the answer is tucked away
SOMEWHERE in … here!
THIS MONTH’S PRIZE …
Three readers will soon be enjoying Catherine Ponder’s classic,
DYNAMIC LAWS OF PROSPERITY. First published in 1962, this
wonderful book filled with charming (and inspiring) real-life

1. Send an email to the address below by midnight
(PDT), Thursday, June 26, 2008 to:

3. Be sure to include your ANSWER to this simple
question (the answer is in this edition and
you’ll find and understand it by READING!) ;-D

written? (It’s kind of a trick question. Careful!)
The answer is somewhere in this very ezine!
Please note that you must get your answer in BEFORE the deadline
or it will NOT go into the random drawing. It’s the “PROMPT

=================================================================
4. FEATURE ARTICLE: UNLOCKING THE POWERFUL SECRET MESSAGE
HIDDEN IN THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH
“At Paris, just after dark one gusty evening in the autumn of
18–, I was enjoying the twofold luxury of meditation and a
meerschaum, in company with my friend, C. Auguste Dupin, in his
little back library, or book-closet, au troisieme, No. 33 Rue
Dunot, Faubourg St. Germain …”
So begins one of the most famous of all American short stories,
“The Purloined Letter,” penned in 1844 by the celebrated writer
Edgar Allen Poe.
The story tells the tale of a famous woman who is being
blackmailed by a man who has stolen from her a letter containing
extremely damaging information. After the police have searched
the thief’s lodgings thoroughly, looking into every possible
crack and crevice where the letter may have been concealed,
they’re at a loss because they KNOW the letter is there, yet they
can’t find it, no matter how hard they look.
Thoroughly bewildered and being pressured to retrieve the
incriminating sheet of paper quickly, the police prefect pays a
visit to Monsieur Dupin, a famous private detective:
“The fact is, we have all been a good deal puzzled because the
affair is so simple, and yet baffles us altogether.”
“Perhaps it is the very simplicity of the thing which puts you at
fault,” said my friend.
“What nonsense you do talk!” replied the Prefect, laughing
heartily.
“Perhaps the mystery is a little too plain,” said Dupin.
“Oh, good heavens! who ever heard of such an idea?”
“A little too self-evident.”
“Ha! ha! ha! — ha! ha! ha! — ho! ho! ho!” roared our visitor,
profoundly amused, “oh, Dupin, you will be the death of me yet!”
While the Prefect laughs and dismisses the idea that the letter
could be hidden right under his nose, that, in fact, turns out to
be exactly the case. The famous Detective Dupin triumphs yet
again and steals back the purloined letter which the thief has
“hidden in plain sight” by leaving it right out in the open.
Now my question to you — in light of deepening our understanding
of The Science of Getting Rich — is this:
Are you Detective Dupin or the police prefect?
In other words, are you focusing so intently on what may APPEAR
to be the message of the book or what you expect it to say that
you miss out entirely on what just may be the REAL long-lost
secret of prosperity in ALL its forms, financial and otherwise?
Or, like our hero Dupin, have you spotted the “hidden”
information and had it jump right off the page and into your more
and more delightful life?
Well, if you’re still a bit puzzled — or even completely baffled
– hang on, because we’re about to walk right through the clues
’til you see it!
In any how-to manual, of course, you always find lists of do’s
and don’ts to follow to achieve the desired results. And Mr.
Wattles’ book is no different in that regard.
So let’s take a look at a few of his prescriptions and see what
ONE THING they ALL have in common!
Mr. Wattles tells us that to practice The Science of Getting Rich
successfully we need to …
* Understand that there is no limit to abundance.
* Accept that we are worthy and that our true desires are, too.
* Abandon competitive thought.
* Don’t worry that someone else could beat you to all the good
stuff.
* Avoid unethical practices in business and elsewhere.
* Look for ways to add value in all you do.
* Spend as much time as possible contemplating your desires: See
what you want as if it is already a done deal — imagine it
clearly, “bringing out all its delightful details.”
* And take that even further: “See yourself owning and using
them. Make use of them in your imagination … In the mental
realm, enter at once into full enjoyment of the things you want.”
* Notice when your thoughts turn to worry, doubt, and fear so
that you can choose other thoughts that feel good and lead you
back to positive energy.
* Marinate yourself in gratitude! (There’s a whole chapter and
more on this one aspect. That’s a BIG clue!)
* Be careful what thoughts you choose to dwell on: “Things are
not brought into being by thinking about their opposites.”
* Avoid dwelling on or talking about your own troubles at all.
The same is true for “horrible conditions” in certain places or
for groups of people. Never speak in a discouraged or
discouraging way.
* “Give no anxious thought to possible disasters, obstacles,
panics, or unfavorable combinations of circumstances.”
* Don’t rush, overwork, or waste time trying to figure out some
“strange, unusual, or remarkable action to perform as a first
step toward getting rich.” Just do what you normally do but with
a new attitude, point of view, mindset.
* Not sure what action to take? Then you’re not ready to act yet.
Go to gratitude, contemplate the vision of what you want, don’t
rush and get yourself all anxious and uptight.
* Use your will power only to keep your mind off what you don’t
want and focused on what you DO want to attract and create in
your life.
Have you spotted a common thread yet?
Here’s another clue: Pick one of the recommendations above (and
this is just a representative sampling) and imagine yourself
doing what Mr. Wattles recommends.
Now … how does doing that cause you to feel?
If you’ve seen the answer, congratulations! If you haven’t quite
gotten it yet, that’s fine, too. We’ll take it a step further.
Let’s pick the first one on the list. What feels better to you –
believing that abundance is unlimited or believing that if one
person has more, someone else must go without?
Or jump down the list to “Marinate yourself in gratitude.” What
feels better to you — looking around and seeing so much to
appreciate and be grateful for? Or the opposite?
Do that with the whole list up there. Better yet, get out your
copy of the book and reread it, looking at every bit of advice
Mr. Wattles gives and noticing what is likely to be the IMMEDIATE
RESULT in your own mental and emotional state.
My friend, when you really “get” this at a deep level, you will
have the key that unlocks it ALL!
The real secret of practicing The Science of
Getting Rich is to focus ONLY on what makes
you FEEL GOOD.
Your own JOY is the secret key to all
abundance!
You are constantly impressing your mental images on the Formless,
constantly sending out a signal, constantly asking for whatever
it is you are focusing on to be delivered to you.
Not just the things you want, but everything you give your focus,
faith, and feeling to. And that delivery is ALWAYS completed.
(Now, not every little thought that comes flitting through your
mind is going to manifest — just the ones you dwell on. And
which ones are those? The ones you feel any emotion about.)
So it’s ESSENTIAL for you to feel as good as
you can, as much of the time as you can.
My friend, this is great news!
It simply does NOT feel good to worry, to rush, to give less than
your best, to get into competitive mind, to blame or judge or
criticize, to soak up all the bad news in the world, to rant
about politics, to tell everyone all your troubles, to bitch and
moan about everything you don’t like, and on and on.
But it feels GREAT to turn on your powerful imagination and
practice being, doing, and having all you desire — to really get
into it until it feels real to you.
Here’s an example. One Sunday afternoon I was lying in a hammock
in a friend’s backyard, thinking about the new home I wanted in a
new location on the other side of the country. I closed my eyes
and imagined my hammock was at the end of the dock out behind my
new house and my cruising sailboat was tied up right beside me.
As I lay there in the sunshine, envisioning all the details of my
surroundings, I imagined I could smell the salt water and hear
the docklines creaking a bit. I imagined another friend coming
down from the house suggesting we go for a sail and have dinner
at a nice restaurant on the other side of the water, and so we
did …
A while later the back door opened and my friend came out and
said, “How long have you been out here?” And when I checked I was
astonished to find out I’d been “daydreaming” for nearly two
hours!
I had gotten so delightfully absorbed in
creating and contemplating my “clear mental
image” (CMI) that I’d lost all track of time.
And the best part was that I felt incredible! You know that
little thrill you get when something wonderful happens — a
delicious physical sensation you feel sort of all over, and it
can sometimes even make you almost shiver as you grin or laugh
right out loud?
Well, I had it big time — and that’s EXACTLY how I knew that the
reality of my CMI was on the way!
Exactly how and when delivery takes place — that part’s not up
to me. That’s up to the Formless. My part is just to get crystal
clear on the desire and all its “bright promise.” When I do that
– when YOU do that! — it feels fantastic.
So, my friend, that’s the secret! And your part of the process is
simply to envision whatever it is you desire to be, do, or have,
and then PLAY with that vision until you feel great. Do it often,
until (as Mr. Wattles notes) all you have to do is think of your
desire and the whole big picture jumps into your mind and pastes
a big happy grin on your face.
All the rest — all the heavy lifting, all the “figuring out,”
all the work — is left to the Formless, the Universe, the
Supreme Mind, God.
Your part is just to be and feel the joy of it until INSPIRED
action just arises naturally.
ONE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR YOU
Now, whatever it is that YOU desire to be, do, or have, ask
yourself this: WHY do you want it?
When you get right down to it, you want it because you think it
will feel good in one way or another, right?
Hmm.
So … in order to get what you desire so that you will feel
good, you first need to …?
Yeah! You got it!
Feels pretty good, doesn’t it? ;-D
=================================================================
LISTEN UP!
“”Ever since I had the [SOGR] audiobook, I have been listening to
it in the car, on public transport, or walking from place to
place, and it has helped to reinforce many concepts.
“All in all, an hour a day of listening to Rebecca’s presentation
for 250 working days a year is worth 250 hours of instruction and
self learning and that without setting aside any special hours
for that, only travelling time!
“And if you are like me, primarily learning using auditory
senses, that’s double the benefits!”
— KEVIN YEO in Singapore
*****
I know EXACTLY what you mean by reinforcement, Kevin. When I
first got the book — TEN years ago now, wow! — I read it more
than 150 times before I stopped counting. I was just so
determined to really “get” the message.
(And apparently I was something of a slow learner, too, since it
never occurred to me during all those readings to RECORD it so I
could LISTEN. It took a LOT of SOGR fans asking for the audio
before I got THAT message!) ;-D
I’m so glad the audiobook is paying off for you!
Now, my friend, get your own SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH AUDIOBOOK –
on two CDs or audiocassettes — at:

Order online, by fax, or with the “print and mail” form you’ll

6. WRAP-UP: MORE VIDEOS!
Back at the beginning of March I first watched an AMAZING
18-minute online video of a talk given by brain scientist DR.
JILL BOLTE TAYLOR.
Since then I’ve watched it SIXTEEN more times — with friends,
family, by myself.
Really.
It’s THAT good!
I don’t want to tell you too much about it, because if you
haven’t yet seen it I wouldn’t want to spoil the impact — and it
packs a TON of impact, especially for those of us who — thanks
to Wally and SOGR — have become fascinated by how our minds
(and brains) work.
And even more fascinated by who and what we really ARE.
Apparently a lot of other people have found Dr. Jill’s talk
mind-blowing (so to speak), too: Less than three months after the
video of her talk was posted on the internet, she was featured on
TIME Magazine’s cover as one of the year’s “100 Most Influential
People.”
Then, Oprah — following up on the enormous success of the
ground-breaking, worldwide live 10-week webcast series with
Eckhart Tolle (A NEW EARTH) — interviewed Jill for her new “Soul
Series.” This four-part interview expands on the original talk
and is even more enlightening.
(I personally LOVE Part 3 because Dr.
Jill’s unstoppable enthusiasm for her
subject is so contagious.)
So, if you’d care to join me, go grab some popcorn and then head
on over to these websites to catch up on any of the videos you
haven’t seen yet. Once you hear what Dr. Jill has to say I know
you’ll agree that it’s WONDERFUL that so many people are taking
her message to heart!
You’ll find the original talk, “My Stroke of Insight,” here:
–> http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/229
And Oprah’s interview series is here:
–> http://www2.oprah.com/spiritself/oss/ss_oss_archive.jhtml
OK, my friend, I’m off to make it EIGHTEEN viewings of the
original. Hope to “see” you over there! (And if you’re bringing
popcorn, I like LOTS of butter!) ;-D
‘Til next time …
Many blessings, and of course –
EXPECT Success!
Rebecca
P.S. Did you participate in the A NEW EARTH webcast series? I
didn’t miss a single one. There was just something so cool about
taking part in that with millions of people all over the planet.
Lots of good food for thought in there for SOGR readers, too.
And it’s not too late. You’ll find the whole series archived
