Recently, due to some not-so-new challenges in my life, I re-read the whole SOGR text again, hoping to gleam some wisdom from this 100 year old book. And, wow! little did I know, but I missed out on a whole lot of ideas that I just wasn't ready for the last time I read it. So, I decided to write my own abridged summary expressing the flow of my own thoughts from chapter to chapter that represents my way of understanding Wally at this present time. I hope it is useful to some of you, and maybe prompt you to re-read it again. (Rebecca says she read it more than 150 times )

(1) We all have this innate power within us to be,do and have everything that allows us to find full expression for our body, mind and soul.
Q: How do we awaken this innate power?

(2) There is nothing in our external circumstances that can stop us from becoming rich. This innate power is in everyone, and all we have to do this to live in harmony with the laws of the universe.
Q: What is this law of universe?

(3) This law of universe consists of one, intelligent substance from which all things come from. This substance is inexhaustible, limitless and abundant. What we have to do, is to cooperate with this formless substance.
Q: How do we cooperate with this formless substance?

(4) We cooperate with this formless substance by thinking thoughts of abundance and wealth. These thoughts of abundance will align us with the natural, friendly forces of the universe.
Q: What happens when we find this alignment?

(5) Life keeps increasing. It gets better and better. When we align with this natural force, our desire to be rich is a natural outflow of universal desire to express itself fully in us!
Q: So, how do riches come to us?

(6) Riches come to us when we are providing use value in excess of the cash value. and this we do by picturing exactly what we want and love to be, do and have with the certainty that it is already on its way to us.
Q: How to we keep this channel of abundance open consistently to receive what we desire?

(7) We express gratitude to the formless for everything that is here now, and is on its way.When we mentally shift our thoughts to all the good there is now, all the good will begin to come to us!
Q: Now that we are primed to receive what we desire, how do we start impressing on the formless?

(8) We impress our desires on the formless by entering into "... full enjoyment of the things we want." We enter into the moment where we experience all that we desire in full faith and purpose that it is already here.
Q: How do we exercise this faith and purpose?

(9) By using our will to stay focused on our personal vision instead of trying to change things on the outside.
(10) We also turn our minds away from any influences that may dim our vision of what we want.
Q: How do we start taking action?

(11) By thinking in a certain way, we seize opportunities that come to us because our minds are already attuned to what we desire. We act from this place of inspiration and do all we can do where we are.
Q: So, how do we starting taking only efficient actions?

(12) By putting the whole power of our vision into every action that we take, and to proactively do what is available to us now, no matter how simple and routine it appears to be.
Q: How do get into the business we desire as we go about in a certain way?

(13) The business we desire will come to us when we do everything we can in our present business, and we start developing and using the mental tools for the business we desire to be in, in the correct manner.Our vision of the right business, and the act of being more than we are now,will bring us into the environment we desire.
Q: Having done what we can, how do we contribute to the world our unique purpose?

(14) By sending everyone we come into contact with an impression of increase that can only come from a strong sense of faith and purpose.
Q: How do we give to the world the gift of who we are?

(15) By becoming an advancing personality,a personality that is continually adding more life to the world. The riches we receive is in accordance with the exact laws of the universe, and the advancing person will surely attract all the riches that he/she desire to be, do and have by being and living according to this law.
Q: What can I do if I meet an "apparent failure"?

(16) Go on in full faith and gratitude if we chance upon circumstances that seem at first to be a "failure". According the law of the universe, if we do not receive what we desire at that moment in time, a better and bigger opportunity is on its way as long as we keep living in a certain way.

Kevin,
This is inspiring!
I hope you don’t mind, but I took your work and put it into first person. That is “we” became “I” and “us” became “me” etc. Now when I read or listen to this, the power of what you wrote impacts me on a deeper more personal level. You have just made an amazing amount of difference in my life.
Thank You!
