H. B. says that you must not say, I want,—in effect, he says you must affirm, 'I don't want dollars; dollars want me,' A very little consideration will show this is right; but consideration wasn't enough for me—I put it to the test. The first five days, my receipts fell almost to zero, but I was determined to hang on. I felt it was right, that the drop in my business was due to the readjustment of the vibrations, for long experience has taught me that you cannot turn round from one method of thought to another very suddenly without disturbing the currents and these have to get re-adjusted to the new rate of vibration before you can work them. The sixth day my patience was amply rewarded; for every one order I had been in the habit of receiving, I got twenty and it has kept up ever since.
Now I never weaken my position by affirming that I want anything. I say it wants me, and I know it will come. It is not any use making that statement, of course, if you doubt IT. You must back up your statement with faith and feel it is already yours. It is rather on the principle of the honey-pot and the swarm of summer flies; you are the pot of honey—the dollars are the flies.
"Now the honey doesn't worry about the flies, it is content to be sweet, to give off a faint sweet smell and to stick, but the flies do want it, they come from all quarters, they swarm into it, sip its sweetness, and buzz-zz-zz all all around. The honey is a power—irresistible power so far as flies go—they want it, it is a great center of attraction.
"Now say you run some particular line of business—you are the honey—in the world there are many people who want what you have to give them, who will gladly pay cash for it, who cannot help being attracted to your honey, as the flies might be.
"Your thought, as I have so often told you, is strong and potent beyond measure, but, when you assume the 'wanting' attitude, although you do most certainly attract, it is nothing like the powerful attraction formed by your quiet, confident attitude of absolute conviction that the thing wants you. The attitude of desire is strong, but the attitude of certainty—of possession—which this new thought makes possible is wonderful, and a veritable tower of strength; it has made things possible to me that were quite out of the question before."

The constant and increasing demand for this modest booklet and the beneficent effect which it has had on thousands of its readers, seem to justify its appearance in a new and enlarged form. May it have also a wider influence and an enlarged power to free the minds of its readers from the tyranny of things.

Supply
"He who dares assert the I,
May calmly wait
While hurrying fate
Meets his demands with sure supply."
— Helen Wilmans.
Harmony There is neither health nor prosperity without harmony. There is no peace, no health, where there is want, be it want of material Supply, wisdom Supply or love Supply. Love, Truth and Dollars—these are necessary to human well-being.
Mind, body and estate must be cared for. In order that there may be health, happiness and prosperity, there must be Harmony. This harmony is found in merely giving Self, the Soul, its way. Harmony is living in obedience to mental law. It is found in right thinking.
Bane of Poverty Poverty is the main cause of the unrest, the dis-ease (the un-ease) that afflicts mankind. Remove poverty by right thinking and all attendant evils will disappear. This right thinking means that there shall be on the part of the individual a change of attitude toward the Dollar.
Mental Attitude The prevalent attitude is want for the Dollar, belief that Dollars are power. This must be outgrown and the attitude must be that ALL POWER IS IN MAN. Dollars are machines with power delegated to them by man. They are useless without man. DOLLARS WANT ME! is to be the thought of the "Coming man.'' A few so think-now and have obtained mastery of Supply.
Demand and Supply It is a legitimate demand on the part of each individual that he have enough. To supply human needs is the function of the universe. All is for man. The sun shines for him ; the waters run for him; the flowers bloom for him; the grain ripens for him; and the earth teems with beauty for him. All would be use-less, purpose-less, but for him.
When he ceases to be, there is no use for the universe or anything in it. Without Man these are virtually non-existent. Man alone gives a meaning, a use, a value, a purpose to the universe.
There is enough in the Universal One from which all things materialize, for each one to have enough to meet all desires without robbing any. Infinite Supply is all about us and yet there is want. Whose the fault? Not of The One. It is in ourselves. We have not known how to claim, nor have we claimed our own.
Law of Supply The law is simple and it is laid down by the greatest political economist as well as the greatest Mental Scientist the world has in its historic records. He was not a theologian, neither did he deal with questions of a future life, as many seem to think ; he was a sociologist and a socialist. He dealt with questions of ''the life that now is." His name was Jesus. He gave the Law thus: "Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. and all things shall be added unto you."
Study the Law Analyze the Law thus:— "Kingdom of God?" Where? "Within you." ''God is Spirit," he said. "The Kingdom of God'" is then in the Soul. It is
