You must form a clear and definite mental picture of what you want; you cannot transmit an idea unless you have it yourself.
It is not enough that you should have a general desire for wealth “to do good with”; everybody has that desire.
Go over your desires; see just what you want, and get a clear mental picture of it as you wish it to look when you get it.
The more clear and definite you make your picture then, and the more you dwell upon it, bringing out all its delightful details, the stronger your desire will be; and the stronger your desire, the easier it will be to hold your mind fixed upon the picture of what you want.
“Whatsoever things ye ask for when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them,” said Jesus.
See the things you want as if they were actually around you all the time; see yourself as owning and using them.
And remember what was said in a proceeding lesson about gratitude; be as thankful for it all the time as you expect to be when it has taken form.
Your part is to intelligently formulate your desire for the things which make for a larger life, and to get these desire arranged into a coherent whole; and then to impress this Whole Desire upon the Formless Substance, which has the power and the will to bring you what you want.
“Believe that ye receive them.”
The whole matter turns on receiving, once you have clearly formed your vision.
Hold to the FAITH that the imaginary is being real- ized, and to the PURPOSE to realize it. Remember that it is faith and purpose in the use of the imagination which make the difference between the scientist and the dreamer.
