According to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-science-of-getting-rich-book\/\">The Science of Getting Rich<\/a><\/em>, resource limitation is a myth because the formless substance created plenty of resources for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to discover more about the role of the formless substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Formless Substance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Everything in the universe\u2014you, your house, the planets\u2014is made out of the same stuff,<\/strong> \u201cformless Substance.\u201d It is also known as the original substance. The formless Substance is God. It is alive and intelligent. It manifests thoughts into tangible forms. For example, when the Original Substance thought of planets, physical planets formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By nature, the formless Substance and God favor the advancement and improvement of every intelligent being,<\/strong> from oak trees to dolphins to you. As a result, it\u2019s perfectly natural, even dutiful, for you to pursue wealth. <strong>You need money to buy the resources that will help you improve yourself.<\/strong> Your advancement is Original Substance expressing itself vicariously through you. You need to be rich in the same way a seed needs to grow into a flower. If you\u2019re not rich, you\u2019ll never have enough access to resources, and you\u2019ll never achieve a full and successful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Advancing Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main aspects of our existence, all of them equally important, and all of which require money to develop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Mind.<\/strong> You develop your mind by appreciating art, studying books, and traveling.<\/li><li><strong>Body. <\/strong>You <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-care-for-your-body\/\">take care of your body<\/a> by sheltering it, clothing it, feeding and watering it, and resting.<\/li><li><strong>Soul. <\/strong>You develop your soul through love. The best way to express love is to give other people material gifts.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you want to paint something beautiful, and therefore develop your mind, you\u2019ll need an easel, paints, and other art supplies, all of which require money to purchase.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Myth of Resource Limitation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>God isn\u2019t done. He didn\u2019t create the world and then step away, leaving the planet with limited resources. <strong>Because life is always advancing, and everything is made up of limitless Original Substance, resource limitation is a myth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of resources for everyone, and <strong>if the planet ever did run out of something, the formless Substance could simply create more.<\/strong> If there are existing channels for creation, Original Substance will work through these. For example, diamonds are formed by applying heat and pressure to carbon, and Original Substance works through this existing process to create diamonds. If there is no existing method for creating something, the Original Substance creates it from its own substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Competition vs. Creation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Because Original Substance is limitless and there\u2019s more than enough to go around, no one has to compete with anyone else to become rich.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, competition is an unfavorable method for becoming rich. The Original Substance will never give you things by taking them away from others. Therefore, if you compete, you can only succeed via luck, and your success won\u2019t last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Creation is the guaranteed method for becoming rich. <\/strong>Instead of competing with someone for something, go in a different direction. The formless Substance will favor you with opportunities. For example, if you\u2019re the employee of a railroad company, don\u2019t try to become the owner. Instead, look for opportunities elsewhere. You might find success in another industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the formless substance?
