There is a science of getting rich, and it is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches, and once these laws are learned and obeyed by anyone, that person will get rich with mathematical certainty.—Wallace D. Wattles. Knowing what wealth is is the first step toward having it. And few people are aware of what it is in and of itself. What exactly is wealth? What is the root of the problem? What is the root of the problem? Let's begin with money, the world's emblem of riches, and work our way deeper from there.

Is money an illusion or something else?

Money is merely a medium of exchange, or legal tender. We utilise it to trade goods and services. It is a symbol of worth. The “body” of value is money. Within us, it is the physical expression of value that increases and falls. Not in “things” outside of ourselves, but in ourselves. Because without us, what can an item like a car be worth to us? Nothing, at least not to our knowledge. In other words, it is we, the observers, who assign value to objects, but this value is truly value in us—we assign worth to material objects.

Money is not real.

MIt is, after all, a big delusion. It's all just numbers, printed on paper and stored on computers, assigned to persons and things like companies and investments, or, more precisely, additional records! To put it another way, just around $4 in printed-paper notes or coins exist for every $100 or its equivalent in any other money, while the other $96 exists as figures written on papers and computers in banks, enterprises, and other entities. We all trust in this system, which is why it hasn't collapsed yet.&nbsp;

What is money then?

This is the book that has served as an entry point to the Law of Attraction for thousands of readers throughout the world. David Gikandi starts with basics. Wealth is not about having buckets of cash--although that might be a by-product of wealth. True wealth understands the value within. True wealth flows out of developing "wealth consciousness." True wealth flows out of internalizing the mantra: "I am wealth. I am abundance. I am joy." To help people better understand and utilize this simple system, a 16-page study guide has been added to the original text, making it the ultimate self-help book.

5. The Principle of Rhythm"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."—The Kybalion.6. The Principle of Cause and Effect"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."—The Kybalion.7. The Principle of Gender"Gender is in everything."-- The Kybalion.

The Seven Hermetic Principles continued:

This concise guide offers a modern interpretation of one of ancient mystical philosophy's greatest treasures. It condenses Hermetic doctrine into seven compelling principles that can be successfully applied to everyday life.

Rather than converting base metals into gold, Hermetic alchemists focused on elevating their mental forces to a higher level. The precepts of their philosophy remained shrouded in secrecy for more than 2,000 years, clouded by obscure language and dense allegories. This guide offers a modern interpretation of Hermetic doctrine, distilling its teachings into seven compelling principles that can be applied to self-development in daily life. For centuries, the legendary Egyptian man-god Hermes Trismegistus—regarded as the father of astrology, alchemy, and other magical arts—inspired writers and readers of occult literature. In 1908, the anonymous authors known as &quot;Three Initiates&quot; prepared this concise and engaging edition of the master's teachings. It outlines the Hermetic principles and then examines them in depth, offering direct quotations from the source material, followed by clear explanations. The best introduction to Hermeticism for beginners and adepts alike, this definitive edition of one of esoteric literature's classics explores principles relevant to any religious, spiritual, or magical tradition.

1. The Principle of Mentalism"THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental."—The Kybalion.

Seven Hermetic Principles 

The The Emerald Tablet of Hermes & Kybalion compose two pillars of Hermetic thought. Combined here in one volume, these two works share true wisdom with those ready to receive it. "When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with wisdom." The Kybalion was first published anonymously in 1908 by "The Three Initiates." The true authorship of the work is unknown, although theories suggest it was written entirely or in part by William Walker Atkinson. Atkinson was a prolific writer and supported the New Thought movement of the 19th and early 20th centuries. New Thought included the belief that our realities can be manifested by mental effort, which is also suggested in Hermetic principles. Scholars point to similarities in style and content between The Kybalion and Atkinson's own The Arcane Teachings as evidence that he was one (or all) of "The Three Initiates." The Kybalion provides an introduction to the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus--Hermes "the Thrice-Greatest." This "Master of Masters" is said in The Kybalion to have lived 300 years on Earth, and believed by some to be the founder of both astrology and alchemy (precursors to astronomy and chemistry, respectively). Hermes Trismegistus was deified after his death as Toth by the ancient Egyptians, and Hermes by the Greeks. In both pantheons, this man-turned-god was considered a symbol of great wisdom. The Kybalion's explanation of Hermetic teachings are claimed to have been passed down orally for centuries, eventually reaching "The Three Initiates." The fundamental Hermetic traditions presented in The Kybalion consist of seven "working principles" Mentalism, Correspondence, Vibration, Polarity, Rhythm, Cause and Effect, and Gender. Within these seven principles is true wisdom, tied to no particular place and no particular religion. It is the "sacred flame" kept lit by a chosen few used to "re-light the lesser lamps of the outside world when the light of truth grew dim..." In short, these are the truths of the universe, regardless of era or creed. The Emerald Tablet of Hermes is a short, ancient text attributed to Hermes Trismegistus himself. Unlike The Kybalion, which aims to provide some explanation and instruction, the brief Emerald Tablet has been puzzling and fascinating scholars for over 1,000 years. Consisting of a mere 14 stanzas, the Emerald Tablet is said to contain the secrets of prima materia--the foundational material of the universe. The Emerald Tablet and its teaching influenced freemasonry and philosophy throughout history. The text of the tablet has been translated and commented on by a variety of scholars, including Sir Isaac Newton who was inspired by its teachings throughout his life and work. The earliest known version of the text comes from an Arabic work written between the 6th and 8th centuries by Balinas. He claimed to have found the tablet hidden in a vault beneath a statue of Hermes. Another story claims the tablet was written by Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve. And yet another says the tablet was uncovered and then reburied by Alexander the Great. The source and material of the physical tablet is unknown. It was reported to be a rectangular green stone, with text in raised bas-relief rather than engraved. Some even claim there never was a physical tablet at all, although several accounts claim it was on display in Egypt in 330 BCE. Whatever its origins and history, the work was first introduced to the West in the 12th century through Latin translations. Since then, this cryptic text has been translated and re-translated, pored-over and analyzed by philosophers, historians, and theologians alike.
