About this ebook
This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design. Wallace D. Wattles, in his profound exploration of reality, offers an intricate analysis of time, space, and substance, presenting them as essential dimensions that shape human existence. Wattles begins by asserting that time is not just a human construct but a perpetual reality that influences human actions and decisions. By understanding and wisely utilizing time, individuals can achieve personal success and growth. He emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between appearances and deeper truths to grasp life's intricate realities. Transitioning to space, Wattles describes it as an infinite expanse that exists independently of the objects within it. He invites readers to reflect on how they utilize this boundless dimension, reinforcing the inseparability of time and space in human experience. Wattles then delves into the concept of substance, positing that all matter is a variation of a single, indestructible substance. This indwelling substance takes various forms under different conditions, allowing consciousness and motion to thrive within empty space. The discussion advances into consciousness, suggesting that it is a manifestation of a greater conscious substance. Wattles posits that humans have an unparalleled capacity for conscious growth, hinting at a divine connection that elevates human consciousness above other life forms. This divine essence, he argues, is the foundation of true consciousness. Wattles also explores motion, challenging traditional notions of force and attraction by defining motion as a result of pressure between substances. He presents a cohesive framework where motion and force are interconnected, highlighting their role in creation and transformation. Ultimately, Wattles underscores humanity's unique ability to align with a divine intelligence, suggesting that true happiness and fulfillment arise from this alignment. He advocates for awareness and prayer as pathways to unify with this divine will, enabling individuals to manifest their highest potential. Through this structured examination, Wattles provides a comprehensive understanding of existence, emphasizing the interplay between humanity and a divine intelligence that seeks harmony and happiness.
