Who Was Wallace Wattles?

Who was Wallace Wattles?

Is it me or is everyone talking about the movie The Secret? For good reason, indeed, since it's a fantastic movie about the Law of Attraction and how you can really create your reality with the power of your focus and your thoughts. Of course, I can't do justice to the concept in this short space, but I want to bring to the table the man who was at the start of it all.
 
Rhonda Byrne, the producer of the movie The Secret, disclosed in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that she got her inspiration from a little book that her daughter put into her hands when she was at a particular low in her life.

The author of the little book? Yes, it was Wallace Wattles!!

But Who was Wallace Wattles?
I say 'was' because Wallace Deloitte Wattles has been dead a long time. 97 years to be precise. He wrote many articles on the power of constructive speech and maintaining a positive outlook to create around your self a positive vibration that will attract whatever you desire.

His methods have been used for a century, and there are many witnesses that show proof that they work.

As shown in the movie the Secret, Wallace Wattles' methods work for attracting relationships, and for attracting wealth. They certainly do in the domain of health, this elusive feeling that we so quickly lose when we are unwell.

He was of the firm belief that all that is in your life exists because you have brought it there in the form of your thoughts. He explains that if this is the case and you don't like what your life is like, changing your thoughts and the quality of them from negativity to positive outlook will make a tremendous difference in your life, your health and your relationships.

I am here to attest that these methods are incredibly powerful in the field of health. He wrote a powerful little book that is little known, The Science of Being Well . In it, he explains the step-by-step techniques necessary to regain and reclaim health.
It is of interest to note that the The Science of Being Well Study Guide with Free Report  takes his language which at times can be difficult for 21st century audiences, and applies his techniques to simple exercises and activities that are easily incorporated in our busy lifestyle.
Mr Wattles explains that health is based on our ability to Think in a Certain Way , which we have forgotten. There are Principles of Health that are simple for everyone to apply.

Although he wrote some of the most powerful, life changing books ever written, unfortunately very little is known about the life of Wallace D. Wattles .

He was born in the United States in 1860, and experienced a life of failure after failure, until - in his latter years, after tireless study and experimentation - he formulated and put into practice the scientific principles he later wrote about in the book  The Science of Being Well.

Here are excerpts from a letter written to his publisher by his daughter, Florence, shortly after his untimely death in 1911, which were published in The Science of Being Great.
She writes: My dear Mrs. Towne: Your letter of the 14th received . . . perhaps a little later I can write the romantic story of my Father's life and make it really worthwhile. You knew, didn't you, that he lost a good position in the Methodist Church because of his "heresy"? He met George D. Herron at a convention of reformers in Chicago in 1896 and caught Herron's social vision. I shall never forget the morning he came home. It was Christmas.

Mother had put her last dollar into a cuff box and we had placed it beneath an evergreen branch which served for our Christmas tree and which we had illuminated with tallow candles and strung with popcorn. Finally Father came. With that beautiful smile he praised the tree, said the cuff box was just what he had been wanting - and took us all in his arms to tell us of the wonderful social message of Jesus, the message which he later embodied in A New Christ. From that day until his death he worked unceasingly to realize the glorious vision of human brotherhood. For years his life was cursed by poverty and the fear of poverty. He was always scheming and planning to get for his family those things which Page 7 make the abundant life possible.

In the first chapter of The Science of Getting Rich he says: "A man's highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves." The supreme faith of the man never left him; never for a moment did he lose confidence in the power of the master Intelligence to right every wrong and to give to every man and woman his or her share of the good things of life. When we came to Elwood (Indiana) three years ago, Father began a Sunday night lectureship in Indianapolis. This was our only source of income. Later he began to write for Nautilus and to word out his own philosophy.

He wrote almost constantly. Then it was that he formed his mental picture. He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision . . . . He lived every page of The Science of Being Great. In the last three years he made lots of money, and had good health, except for his extreme frailty. I have written this hurriedly, but I think it will give you an idea of the life struggle of a great man - his failure and success. His life was truly THE POWERFUL LIFE, and surely we can say, at least in Elwood, "The name of him who loved his fellow men led all the rest." With all good wishes, I am, Very sincerely, FLORENCE A. WATTLES Although very little is known about his life, we like so many others, who have studied and applied his scientific principles and detailed plans of action, are so very grateful that he lived and wrote them down.
