Phase I
Abundance, Wealth, Riches, Prosperity

Here you have a comprehensive Method you can use to build the fullest, most abundant and prosperous life for those you love, for yourself, and for the good of all concerned. We have put together a comprehensive program to facilitate the acquisition and mastery of the principles of success. Obviously, every method is nothing other than a discipline. If you use all the resources we make available to you, and apply them to yourself and to your life, then you cannot but acquire the discipline of success the inner discipline!

Phase I is a systematic intensive study on the five key foundational works that most directly address the subject of how to accumulate wealth! Our course is put together according to the maxim that if you want to understand something study those who are the experts in your area of enquiry. The five figures that most keenly focused upon and described in writing the elements of attainment, wealth, prosperity, abundance, success, accomplishment, and achievement are James Allen, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Charles Haanel, and Charles Fillmore. Volume I of our educational materials is titled: The Prosperity Trilogy. Its motto is: 'Prosperity for all - is - Justice for all.' The book is a reformatting and editing of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich; James Allen's The Pathway to Prosperity; and Wallace D. Wattles' The Science of Getting Rich.

Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich is a concise single volume restatement of Hill's life-work - a 16 volume treatise entitled The Law of Success. Hill stated his purpose in publishing Think and Grow Rich:

Going the distance

Taking your mastery of the material to the next level in Volume II, we include Charles Haanel's The Master Key System, a series of 24 lessons. Here we also added a series of focus questions before each lesson to get your mind moving in the right direction and to prepare you to receive the insights that each lesson was originally written to transmit to you. Also, the many errors prevalent in the generally available texts are corrected. And, the material is formatted for more effective study. Interestingly, in large measure, Napoleon Hill credited his success to Haanel's book. Napoleon Hill wrote in a letter to Haanel in 1919 that 'My present success and the success which has followed my work as President of the Napoleon Hill Institute is due largely to the principles laid down in The Master-Key System.'

Finally, we include Charles Fillmore's Prosperity. Fillmore's work is entirely Biblically based. It is interesting to see how each of our writers' points of view overlap. And, though they use different words and concepts, one notes how much each of the points of view have in common with each other. And, we can note what each adds to the whole.

Phase II
Eight Movements toward the Center

In accordance with our aim to present the complete Art, Science, and Philosophy of Achievement, we include also the following materials to more fully develop your understanding of the key principles. Likewise, all of these materials are reformatted and edited so that you may more readily access and master the ideas they contain. Volume III is a Collection of Eight Essays. Each of these essays represents another facet of a single idea:

Phase III
The Capstone

Volume IV is a panoramic view of the subject matter. Our fourth volume is a selection of 53 short pieces. This volume is designed so that we can examine the subject matter from many different perspectives. It contains additional methods to help us move ourselves into new and creative thought modes.

Volume V is Ralph Waldo Trine's In Tune with the Infinite. Here we mention that Henry Ford attributed all of his success to this book. In fact, Ford kept many copies of the book in stock and freely gave copies of the book to many people. Ralph Waldo Trine's In Tune with the Infinite is recommended by no less a figure than the billionaire philanthropist Sir John Marks Templeton. Trine's basic message is that if we will recognize the power of our thoughts and harmonize our will with the Divine Will, we will attract to ourselves the fullness of life, joy, love, abundance, health, wisdom, and peace.

Volume VI is Christian Larson's The Ideal Made Real. Christian D. Larson was a prolific writer. He recognized the fact that we all have substantial intrinsic powers that we can learn how to use to bring all good into our lives. Along with Ralph Waldo Trine's In Tune with the Infinite, Larson's The Ideal Made Real was a key influence on Ernest Holmes. Larson wrote the Optimists Creed in 1912. Optimist International adopted Larson's creed. Larson was also an associate editor and a writer for Ernest Holmes' magazine Science of Mind. The Ideal Made Real is our sixth presentation of the inner discipline that sets one free and opens the gates into the fullness of life.
