A Classic Tale of Wealth, Wisdom & the Secret of Success by John McDonald
A simplistic version of manifesting along with a silly story
This book consists of two parts.
Part One: The Search (32 pages). This is a nonsensical, filler story of a businessman who receives a call from a friend who had been “miserable, beaten and depressed,” and who had gone on an ocean voyage to improve his health. But the friend was back and had a marvelous story to tell.
The two men meet shortly thereafter in a club, and the friend tells the businessman about a mysterious and powerful stranger (the Master) who imparted to him the wisdom of the ages with which he was now changing his fortune. Then he says, “And that’s as much of my story as I can reveal at this time. I hope you find it encouraging, and I hope you will discover more, eventually.” Gosh, thanks for nothing. (That takes us to page 20.) So now the businessman sets out to find the Master and, after thousands of miles of searching, find him he does, which leads us to Part Two.
Part Two: The Message (48 pages). This section contains the real meat of the book, and the principles are well known to those familiar with manifesting. Roughly, manifesting is the ability to transmute energy into matter using thought. The law of manifesting allows you to create your own reality, such as finding the job you want, a dream home, riches, rewarding relationships or anything else your heart desires.
This book is a tasty appetizer. It can act as an introduction to this marvelous process, but fails to intellectually convince. And if you can’t convince your conscious mind, there’s no way the subconscious mind will manifest anything.
When you’re hungry for the main entree, get Three Magic Words by U.S. Andersen and most importantly The Edinburgh and Dore Lectures on Mental Science by Thomas Troward. Also recommended are TNT: The Power Within You by Claude Bristol, The Power of Your Supermind by Vernon Howard, Thoughts Are Things by Prentice Mulford, and Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend.
Happy Manifesting!
