d；　and　develop　your　intellect；　in　order　that　you　may　love　others　and　do　kind　things；　and　be　able　to　play　a　good　part　in　helping　the　world　to　find　truth。

But　remember　that　extreme　altruism　is　no　better　and　no　nobler　than　extreme　selfishness；　both　are　mistakes。　Get　rid　of　the　idea　that　God　wants　you　to　sacrifice　yourself　for　others　and　that　you　can　secure　his　favor　by　doing　so。　God　requires　nothing　of　the　kind。　What　God　wants　is　that　you　should　make　the　most　of　yourself；　for　yourself；　and　for　others。　And　you　can　help　others　more　by　making　the　most　of　yourself　than　in　any　other　way。

You　must　get　rid　of　the　thought　of　petition。　You　are　to　create；　not　to　pete　for　what　is　already　created。

You　do　not　have　to　take　anything　away　from　anyone。

You　do　not　have　to　drive　sharp　bargains。

You　do　not　have　to　cheat　or　to　take　advantage。

You　do　not　need　to　let　anyone　work　for　you　for　less　than　he　earns。

You　do　not　have　to　covet　the　property　of　others　or　to　look　at　it　with　wishful　eyes。　No　one　has　anything　of　which　you　cannot　have　the　like；　and　that　without　taking　what　he　has　away　from　him。

You　are　to　bee　a　creator；　not　a　petitor。　You　are　going　to　get　what　you　want；　but　in　such　a　way　that　when　you　get　it　every　other　person　whom　you　affect　will　have　more　than　he　has　now。

Riches　secured　on　the　petitive　plane　are　never　satisfactory　and　permanent。　They　are　yours　today　and　another’s　tomorrow。

Remember；　if　you　are　to　bee　rich　in　a　scientific　and　certain　way；　you　must　rise　entirely　out　of　petitive　thought。　You　must　never　think　for　a　moment　that　the　supply　is　limited。　Just　as　soon　as　you　begin　to　think　that　all　the　money　is　being　“cornered”　and　controlled　by　others；　and　that　you　must　exert　yourself　to　get　laws　passed　to　stop
