Reality Creation (also referred to as the Law of Attraction) has been discussed in books and other texts for thousands of years. But which titles are the best as far as obtaining tangible results is concerned? Here are my own Top 5 Reality Creation books…

1 – As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
As a Man Thinketh takes the biblical observation that ‘as a man thinketh, so is he’ and presents the reader with a concise guide to applying that principle. Refreshingly devoid of commercialism, this is a simple book that everyone should study at least once. As a Man Thinketh can be found here.

2 – The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles
The Science of Getting Rich focuses on getting rich in all areas of life – financial, career, physical health and so on. The author, Wallace D Wattles, says in the preface that: ‘This book is pragmatical, not philosophical; a practical manual, not a treatise upon theories. It is intended for the men and women whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich first, and philosophize afterward.’ It is said that this book inspired Rhonda Byrne to write The Secret and once again make the Law of Attraction a popular topic of discussion. Your free copy of The Science of Getting Rich is available at the bottom of this page.

3 – The Art & Science of Magickal Creation by Daniel Keaton
Whereas the previous two books were written at the beginning of the 20th century, The Art & Science of Magickal Creation is a thoroughly modern text. Originally available as a home study course of six levels, the course is now available in e-book form online at a fraction of the original price. I have worked through the entire course personally and can vouch for its incredible effectiveness. Don’t let the word ‘magick’ put you off – this is pure, concentrated  reality creation information that no Law of Attraction student should ignore. Obtain The Art & Science of Magickal Creation at www.magickal-creation.com.

4 – Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
Think and Grow Rich is often classed as a business or personal development book, and whilst it is both of those things it definitely speaks about life from the perspective of reality creation. Serious students who enjoy Think and Grow Rich might also like to study Napoleon Hill’s multi-volume Law of Success – you can obtain it as a free bonus here.

5 – The Master Key by Charles F Haanel
The Master Key was originally a home study course that was later made available in book form and the aim of the course was to teach the principles of creative thought in a scientific way. Napoleon Hill wrote to Charles Haanel to thank him for The Master Key and Rhonda Byrne quotes Haanel in her book The Secret, so the influence of this work is considerable. Your free copy of The Master Key is available at the bottom of this page.

There are many other books that have a great amount of value, but these five are my all-time favourites. If you enjoy reading about the various techniques of Reality Creation that are available to you, I highly recommend that you obtain some or all of them as soon as you can.

The Law of Attraction has been receiving an enormous amount of attention in recent years, and part of this is due to movies like ‘The Secret’ and ‘What the Bleep do we know?’, but the Law of Attraction itself has been with us since the dawn of humanity. The Law of Attraction can be described in many ways, but when all is said and done it boils down to a very simple idea: Your Thoughts Are Creative.

Now different people have different understandings about what that actually means. Some people believe that, because thoughts are creative, they can sit back and visualize something good happening and expect it to manifest in their lives without them having to lift a finger as far as physical action is concerned. Others, myself included, believe that physical action is also necessary, especially if your want your desires to manifest as quickly and effectively as possible.

To illustrate this, consider the idea of becoming a world-class pianist. You could sit and think creative thoughts about becoming a world-class pianist for as long as you like, but unless you actually add the physical action of learning to play the piano, your creative thoughts won’t be very effective. Similarly, if you want to win a lottery jackpot, you need to take the physical action of buying a ticket!

I wanted to make this point clear, because here at Create Good Things I focus on the mental and spiritual side of things, but I don’t want you to think that physical action is not just as important. My personal belief is that your thoughts can help you to create an enormous amount of wealth, happiness and success in your life, but you need to follow through with whatever physical actions are appropriate to make the manifestation of your desires possible.

Think of your thoughts as a kind of fuel that drive your physical actions in life. The quality of your actions will be determined by the quality of the fuel you are using. Think negative thoughts and you are effectively filling up your tank with negative fuel, and that leads to ineffective actions because you don’t believe that it is possible for you to create good things in your life. However, if you think positive thoughts and expect to experience success in every aspect of your life, you are filling up your tank with positive fuel. As a result, you will take more effective actions, interact with people in a much more positive way and – as a natural consequence – you will achieve your desires.

I focus on the creative power of thought in this Create Good Things blog because the fuel must always precede the physical actions. The popular saying ‘Thoughts Are Things’ doesn’t mean that you can think of a $100 bill and have one manifest in your hand automatically. It simply means that if you want a $100 bill in your hand you first need to believe that such a thing is possible. Only when you have the necessary belief will you even begin to take whatever actions are appropriate to making that particular thought manifest in your life.

That said, I do also know from experience that creative thought alone can lead directly to manifestation of desires. For example, a man might decide to get a new job and start visualizing his ideal career. Then, just as he is about to start drawing up a new CV, he might get a phone call from an old employer who wants him to join a new business venture.

Why such a direct manifestation takes place in some cases and not in others is one of those questions that nobody can answer with any real conviction. What I can say is that the willingness to take physical action always precedes manifestation, even if such physical action turns out to be unnecessary. Had the person in the example just given not been willing to draw up a new CV and start looking for a new position, the job offer probably wouldn’t have come. But, because the willingness to take physical action was there, the person somehow opened the way for his desire to be manifested automatically.

For this reason, the Law of Attraction cannot be described simply as ‘believe and receive’. In my experience, if you want to obtain manifestation of your desires as quickly as possible, a better description of the Law of Attraction – and the one you should employ in your daily life – is ‘believe, act and receive’. Omit the central willingness to take appropriate physical action and you effectively short-circuit the whole law, and that is why some people find that the Law of Attraction doesn’t seem to ‘work’ for them.

With this proper understanding of the Law of Attraction in mind, maybe it would be a good idea to review your approach to manifesting your desires. Acknowledge that your thoughts are creative,. Decide to create good things and then start taking positive action to speed up the manifestation of those good things. If you do this I am sure you will be astonished at how quickly results will follow!

The Secret Science of Wealth Creation is a matrix of seven simple but extremely powerful metaphysical principles. Here is the seventh principle:

Wealth Creation Principle #7 – Enjoy What You Already Have

Many students of metaphysical systems tend to waste their precious time on earth because they constantly look to the future and never take time to ‘smell the roses’ which are already around them. This is sad, because the journey towards metaphysical mastery is almost as fulfilling as the destination itself.

By taking time to enjoy the things you already have in your life, you will find it even easier to detach yourself from any emotional turmoil that may exist. This will, in turn, make manifesting your desires a more automatic process.

Enjoying what you already have means living life to the full. Some people may argue that they do not have a great deal, hence their desire for financial abundance. We would argue on that point.

It really is true that some of the best things in life are free and are available to anyone regardless of income. How often do you take time to savour the visual delights of a beautiful sunrise? How often do you take advantage of the wealth of literature available at your local library? How often do you listen to exclusive concerts broadcast on the radio – concerts which would cost tens, perhaps hundreds of pounds to visit in person? How often do you take a walk in the countryside?

You see, you really do live in a world of wonderful abundance, but too many people concentrate on financial abundance to the exclusion of all else that they do not take advantage of what they already have all around them.

This seventh principle of enjoying what you already have can truly revolutionise your whole view of life. No longer need you feel miserable whilst you are waiting for your wealth to manifest itself. Now you can spend the manifestation ‘waiting period’ smelling the roses, enjoying the morning sunrise and generally appreciating the fact that you have the one thing that is most priceless of all – the privilege of being alive right here on the earth plane.

Make a point of spending at least half an hour each day enjoying what you already have. That way, when abundance becomes commonplace you will truly appreciate it and will not – like many others do – take your ability to create good things for granted.

Conclusion

The seven principles we have discussed are in this series are extremely deceptive. When examined individually, as we have done, they seem as simple as can be. The fact is that they are simple, but don’t let their simplicity lead you to believe that they don’t work.

Our research has failed to locate one person who has used all seven principles of The Secret Science of Wealth Creation and been disappointed with the results. It doesn’t matter how low your current level of income is, if you employ the seven principles of The Secret Science of Wealth Creation in your daily life, you will soon come to experience wealth and abundance first hand.

When that happens you will be able to afford to devote more time to your spiritual evolution and continue becoming all that you are destined to become.

The Secret Science of Wealth Creation is a matrix of seven simple but extremely powerful metaphysical principles. Here is the sixth principle:

Wealth Creation Principle #6 – Create Magnetic Icons

Magnetic Icons are symbols of desires which you want to manifest in your life. They are placed in a prominent area so that you can see them as you go about your everyday business and help to generate subconscious thought-forms, in much the same way as a talisman of wealth does.

Before you can create your magnetic icons, you first need to decide specifically what it is you want to manifest. For this purpose, money alone is not specific enough. You must ask yourself what it is you want to do with your wealth and abundance, and then create a magnetic icon which is symbolic of that desire.

For example, if you want to buy a new car, decide what type of car it is that you want, and what colour. If you want a new home, decide whether you want a home in the country or in the city, and how large you want it to be.

Once you have a specific desire, you can create a magnetic icon which encapsulates it symbolically. The best way to do this is to obtain a picture of what you desire from a brochure or magazine, cut it out and then proceed as follows:

• Place the picture on the palm of your right hand.

• Close your eyes and relax completely.

• Imagine that your right hand is beginning to glow with bright yellow energy, and that the picture is absorbing this energy. Again, do not be surprised if your hand seems to tingle when you do this, but do not be concerned if it doesn’t.

• With your eyes still closed, say the following phrase out loud:

This picture symbolises what will be manifested in my life.
I charge it with spiritual power and declare it
to be a magnetic icon of my desire.

Now place your left hand over your right hand so that the picture is enclosed and imagine that the glowing stops. The picture is now charged as a magnetic icon.

You should have no more than seven magnetic icons in use at any one time. We suggest that you mount your icons on a large piece of card or stiff paper and hang this in a position where you will see it several times each day.

Whenever the icons catch your eye, pause for a second or two and express gratitude to the God-Power within you for the fact that these desires are on their way into your life. The more often you do this, the faster the desire will manifest itself in your life.
