Wallace Wattles’ Success Tips
By Keith Cook
Wallace Wattles, author of The Science of Getting Rich, talks about your mental senses. Start empowering yourself today by putting these mental senses to use.
Hear, see, smell, taste, and touch. These five physical senses guide and usher us through life. By the age of 5, we have developed our personalities and behavior patterns.
We also have mental senses or faculties that guide and sustain our lives. Wallace Wattles discusses six mental senses; perception, imagination, memory, reason, will, and intuition. Like our physical senses, our mental senses can and should be exercised to the fullest, as to enable us to live happier and healthier lives. You can use your mental senses to begin empowering yourself.
Let’s look at the word perception. Perception is a point of view. Someone may look at a situation and see something that can’t be done. Someone else may see the same situation and see how it can be done. We can look at a situation from several different points of view. Why not look at it from a positive viewpoint?
The imagination has no bounds or limits. Think back when you were a child and your imagination ran wild. You built beautiful pictures in your mind. Think about all the good you want in your life now. See what you can describe with your imagination.
Then we have memory. Most people think they have a poor memory. It’s probably not poor, it just needs to be exercised. Memory is developed through any association. Picture having a cast on a limb for 8 months. All the while, you are using the other limb, strengthening the other limb, lifting weights with the other limb, etc. The limb in the cast will become weaker and eventually no longer aid you if you don’t exercise it. The same is true with your mind. You have a perfect memory, you just need to strengthen it.
Now this brings us to reason. Reason gives us the ability to originate and take individual thoughts and bring them together to form ideas.
The will helps one focus and concentrate on an idea. When you focus and concentrate, your thoughts become stronger, and you begin to attract what you are thinking about. We know the people that concentrate on what they are doing normally are the ones who get the best job done.
Last but not least, is intuition. Your intuitive factor enables you to pick up vibrations or feelings. When we use our intuition, God is talking to us. You can pick up on another persons vibrations. Has someone walked into a room and changed the energy in the room? Your intuitive factor allows you to pick up on another persons vibration or energy. You determine what mood they are in and translate it in your consciousness.
Believe in yourself. To improve your life, you must improve your mental senses or faculties. Think of being, having and doing only what you want. Concentrate and focus on all the good you want in your life. Decide who you want to be, what you want to have, and what you want to do. We have higher faculties, and I believe we have a responsibility to develop them. Employ the mental faculties stated by Wallace Wattles and begin empowering yourself today.
