Financial Freedom obtainable
It's hard to believe that this book was written in 1910! We are all seeking happiness, illumination, security and truth. This book reveals some of the gifts of life for which we are searching. The author is greatly illumined and brings us the gifts of light through this book and his other books. EXCELLENT!!

Science of Getting Rich
This book is the retitled, Science of Getting Rich, by the same author. Is this the secret? Some good principles along with some bones. Like a good filet of fish, partake of the good, spit out the bones. I don't ask the universe, I ask the God of the Universe.

This Book Is Good If You Want To Learn The Technique Of Visualization.
I must partly agree with A Reader's June 18, 2000 review. The issue that I too have with some of these books, including the movie, The Secret, is that they focus on material wealth. That which is materialistic is temporary and therefor can never be a permanent source of lasting happiness. Lasting peace comes from within and is eternal. When we die, we take nothing with us, not even our bodies. Alot of these types of teachings drive people further into attachment to things, people, and places, which causes continued suffering. Think about it, if there is something that you want and you let go of needing to have it, and you become detached from needing it and detached from the certain outcome of attaining it, you feel lighter inside. You feel at ease, less needy, less desperate, and less controling. Ahhhh (breathes deeply), that's the point.
However, human beings do live on this physical plane. And they do need to learn the basics of being the creators that they are. However, as good as I think this book is, I think it is misleading. All it teaches is the tool of visualization which is invaluable in itself, but it is not always the solidary road to financial success. This is no doubt a good read, but the subject does need to be taken further by those who genuinely seek the path. Read the book, utilize the tools, but beware of attachment. Attachment makes the world miserable.
