The multi-millionaires are like the monster reptiles of the prehistoric eras;
有些百萬富翁們就好比白堊紀的大恐龍,雖然稱霸一時,但終究擺脫不了滅絕的命運。
they play a necessary part in the evolutionary process,
他們在社會進化的過程中扮演了一個必不可少的角色,
but the same Power which produced them will dispose of them.
而最終將其毀滅的正是當初創造他們的那股強大不可抗拒的力量,真可謂成也蕭何,敗也蕭何!
And it is well to bear in mind that they have never been really rich;
只不過,在巨大財富的背后,有一個事實卻是我們必須謹記的——這些百萬富翁們從來都沒有真正擁有過這些財富。
a record of the private lives of most of this class will show that they have really been the most abject and wretched of the poor.
只要稍稍留意一下對他們這個階級的記錄,我們就能發現,他們實際上是這個世界上最可憐、最貧窮的人。
Riches secured on the competitive plane are never satisfactory and permanent;
任何通過不正當競爭所獲得的財富,都不過只是些過眼煙云,并且始終都無法令我們心滿意足。
they are yours to-day, and another's tomorrow.
今天,你可能是它們的主人,可也許明天它們就成為了別人的囊中之物。
Remember, if you are to become rich in a scientific and certain way, you must rise entirely out of the competitive thought.
請相信,也請記住這樣一個真理:如果你想通過科學的方式成功致富,你就必須將腦海里任何與不正當競爭有關的思想全都剔除出去,絲毫都不能剩下。
You must never think for a moment that the supply is limited.
你必須保證,無論何時都不會冒出“資源是有限的”這樣的想法。
Just as soon as you begin to think that all the money is being "cornered" and controlled by bankers and others,
當諸如金錢和財富全都被銀行家或其他人緊緊地攥在手中,
and that you must exert yourself to get laws passed to stop this process, and so on;
而你能夠做的,就是竭盡全力阻止這一切的產生等此類想法一旦出現,
in that moment you drop into the competitive mind, and your power to cause creation is gone for the time being;
你的競爭意識就會死灰復燃,而與此同時你的創造力也就會隨之消失,
and what is worse, you will probably arrest the creative movements you have already instituted.
更糟糕的是,你甚至還會讓已經開始的創造性勞動停滯不前,或者徹底中止。
KNOW that there are countless millions of dollars' worth of gold in the mountains of the earth, not yet brought to light;
我們需要知道和了解的信息就是,不計其數價值連城的黃金就藏在地球的某些深山里,正等待著人類去發現它們,
and know that if there were not, more would be created from Thinking Substance to supply your needs.
而假如你覺得世上根本沒有這么充足的黃金資源,那么,你就應該相信會思考的源物質,相信它將會按照你的需求源源不斷地向你提供所有你所需的各種資源。
KNOW that the money you need will come, even if it is necessary for a thousand men to be led to the discovery of new gold mines tomorrow.
我們應當確信,當我們需要金錢的時候,它們自然就會出現,即使這可能需要一千個人在第二天去發掘新的金礦。
Never look at the visible supply;
千萬別將眼光停留在那些看得見摸得著的資源上;
look always at the limitless riches in Formless Substance,
你目光的焦點應該集中在無形的物質給我們所帶來的無窮無盡的財富上,
and KNOW that they are coming to you as fast as you can receive and use them.
而且你應當相信,這些財富將以最快的速度出現在你身邊,供你差遭。
Nobody, by cornering the visible supply, can prevent you from getting what is yours.
誰都無法通過那些實體資源的控制而阻止你得到原本屬于你的東西。
So never allow yourself to think for an instant that all the best building spots will be taken before you get ready to build your house, unless you hurry.
因此,你的腦海里決不能出現這樣的想法:如果再不抓緊時間,在你準備好一切之前,你看中的那些絕佳建設地點就已是成為他人的囊中之物。
Never worry about the trusts and combines, and get anxious for fear they will soon come to own the whole earth.
你也根本無領因為那些信托公司和聯合企業而感到憂慮,更無須為了它們將會壟斷世間所有財富這樣的無稽之談而杞人憂天;
Never get afraid that you will lose what you want because some other person "beats you to it".
如此一來,你自然也就不會擔心因為別人的捷足先登,而失去原本屬于自己的東西。
That cannot possibly happen; you are not seeking any thing that is possessed by anybody else;
請相信,那樣的事情根本就不會發生,因為你追求的從來都不是屬于他人的東西。
you are causing what you want to be created from Formless Substance, and the supply is without limits.
你所做的一切,不過是促使無形的物質根據你的需求為你進行永無止境的創造。
Stick to the formulated statement:--
無論如何,請務必堅信:
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made,
有一種會思考的源物質,世上所有事物的形成皆源自于它。
and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
最初,這一物質本是宇宙的填充物,宇宙的每一絲空隙都由它占據著。
A thought, in this substance, produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.
首先,在這種物質當中出現了思想,接者,思想再按照其想像的模式制造出世間萬物。
Man can form things in his thought, and, by impressing his thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
人類的思想可造萬物,而且通過讓自己的思想作用于無形的源物質,人類就能夠將腦海中的想像變為現實。
