Richard Ingalese, in his book History and Power of Mind used the term The Law of Opulence. This is what now people call “The law of Attraction”, and though this book was first published more than 100 years ago, you can see that there is nothing new under the sun, only different labels for the same subject.

Opulence means plenty, wealth and riches, but this is not restricted only to money. There can be opulence of love, opulence of happiness, opulence of peace and other states of opulence.

The law of opulence is the mental law of success. Through this law people attract things, people and events into their life. In the above-mentioned book The History of Mind, Richard Ingalese says:

“If you have no possessions, then it is because you have not used the law of opulence for your own benefit. It is a well-known fact in Occultism that everyone has now just what he deserves, and this is as true relative to opulence as it is to spiritual and mental qualities.”

Richard Ingalese further says that to put the law of opulence into operation it is necessary to realize three things:

1. That everything you want exists now in Divine Mind.

2. Realize that all things belong to Deity and that you can only have temporary use of them.

3. We should realize that all things are distributed by the Universal Consciousness according to law. One man is not poverty-stricken and another man a millionaire by chance, fatalism or caprice; but everything is distributed according to the law of mental demand or of asking and receiving.

How do you put the law of opulence into operation in your life?

- You need to know what you want.
- Possess strong desire
- Possess strong faith that you can get what you want
- Repeat affirmations
- Visualize your goal
- You need some degree of concentration
- You need patience
- You need persistence

The law of opulence, the law of attraction, creative visualization and other similar terms are different labels for the same subject.

The following books can help you put the law of opulence into operation:

Some people can visualize easily and others find it hard to do, but regular training of the imagination can change this. One can learn to visualize. Imagination can be developed like any other skill, through appropriate exercises.

Don’t worry if you can’t visualize, because even if you can’t, you can still use the law of attraction. If you know clearly what you want, and you have no doubts about it, and your desire is very strong, you can still attract success into your life, even if visualization is difficult for you. Feelings and desire play an important role in manifestation, not only visualization.

Suppose two people wish to manifest a particular event or object in their life, one just visualize, without any emotion or desire, and without really believing that he can manifest his dream. The other person does not visualize, but he focuses his mind on his desire, and believes and feels strongly that he has already manifested it. Who will eventually achieve his desire? The one who feels and believes.

Actually, the combination of visualization, feelings and desire is recommended, and that is why it is worthwhile to train the faculty of imagination. It can be developed gradually, through various exercises. One such exercise is to look at a small object, such as a spoon, match, or even a fruit for a few minutes, then close the eyes and try to see it mentally. If the mental image is blurred, open your eyes, look at the object for a few seconds, and again close your eyes and try to visualize it.

Don’t get discouraged if you don’t see immediate results. Developing the ability to visualize is not different from learning a new language, learning to drive a car or bodybuilding. Training and developing the ability to visualize takes time.

I have included a whole chapter on developing visualization and imagination in my book Visualize and Achieve, with instructions, advice, and exercises.

I had no time to write lately, as we were busy moving to a new place. The guys from the moving company came on Monday, loaded everything on their truck and carried everything to our new place. We are now still unpacking the crates, so this post will be short. I hope to write again regularly for the blog in a few days.

The time for moving away is approaching very quickly. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are moving to another town next week.
 
Packing everything takes quite a long time. You discover stuff you forgot about, books you have never read and clothes that you don’t need anymore. We are working quite hard to be ready in time, before the transportation guys arrive with their truck.

It is usually the packing that takes time. Unpacking I believe and hope is easier and faster.

Well, I don’t have time to write more now, because I need to continue packing. If you have sent me email, there will be some delay in responding, but I hope to get to it in a few days.
