The Science of Getting Rich

Science of Getting Rich (SGR)
Date: Dec 3 (Mon)
Speaker: Dr. Mel Gill



I attended an intro-seminar about 'The Science of Getting Rich'. It's a book written by Wallace Walters in 1909 and is now re-packaged into a 3-day course by a well-known writer/psychiatrist named Dr Mel Gill.

The learnings of this might be contrary to some beliefs (primarily Christian principles). But anyway, try to pick up something positive, I dont suggest researching deeply on it too much. Just keep an open mind.

Before I start, I just remember a quote I saw in TV before and I feel like putting it here :). It's rather a question. What would you do if someone is holding a knife in front of you? .... I'll answer the same question at the end of this entry.

Dr Mel Gill is a very good speaker. Someone who can sustain my attention span for 2 long hours, this is really something commendable as I didnt doze off a bit. And it's not often that a speaker can make me scribble down notes. :)

The subject matter is quite interesting as it is trying to find a common ground between science and the things that happen around us. Sometimes there are basic principles in life that we forget, and it's good that something like this comes along the way to remind us. Here are the perky comments:

1) Molecular Theory
Everything is energy. Physical matter is vibration.
E=mc2,mass is proportional to energy.
All thoughts are vibration or frequencies.
Thoughts and matter interact. Desires and memories are thought forms.
You can control your thoughts and motion.

Basically it means whatever is happening around you is just a form of energy. And you interact with everything in a sub-atomic manner and therefore you create your own reality.

2) Quantum Physics
Heisengberg Uncertainty Principle - expectations change the result of experiment.
Your brain is powerful and it can interact with everyting in a sub-atomic manner. It is never at rest even if you're asleep. It has the capacity to learn 17 languages.

3) Law of Attraction
You can attract in whatever you want, money, love, relationship, by using correctly the positive energy within you.
It's what you're thinking.
1% of population is getting 96% of the wealth - and this is not accident. There is science in this.

4) Practical Application
-Let your thoughts control your emotions which in turn will control your behaviours
-Look at the mirror and tell yourself 'life ahead is full of possibilities'
-Positive thoughts are 100X more powerful than negative thoughts
-Millionaire consciousness - they see everything as a challenge. They do things common people wouldnt do. They dare to find solutions to problems. And this makes them successful.
-Success is not really all about money. Inner happiness is the key to success
-Bring yourself in alignment with what you want.
-Find something that fuels good that resonates with your heart.
-How to lead a miserable life - count your troubles, name them one by one, at the breakfast table.
-Follow your bliss.

I just posted those not so 'off' statements. Though I think religious parties will be frieking on the whole subject matter because it sounds 'New Age', they dont believe there's God, it's all about 'You' changing your own destiny, you in control of everything. I agree with some points, but somehow I still choose to think that God does exist. Something for your judgment. Again, I am NOT a follower nor promoting this.

Going back to my previous statement about what I will do when I see someone holding a knife in front of me.

In my mind, my answer is run. I dont wanna get killed.

Not sure if you have the same answer?.....

The rest of the speech goes something like this.

'So you think this is a bad person, a murderer, a robber, a snatcher, or perhaps a rapist holding a knife, standing in front of you.
A knife seems to give you a shuddering feeling isn't it.
People tend to think things their way, the negative way first. There is nothing wrong with a knife. It depends on how you use it.
Knives aren't just used to take someone's lives.
A doctor uses a knife during surgeries to make his patient's life longer.
A chef uses a knife to cook your favorite dish.
A soldier uses knives or similar weapons to protect his country from harm.
Why havent you thought about doctors, chefs and soldiers, and you just remember the murderers?

Just two things: most of the things are not absolute negatives. And dont always think of negatives, see the whole picture first.

That is something striking, at least for me. Eye-opener.

So whatever comes your way, keep an open mind. Discern for yourself what is good and you may retain those. The rest you may just throw away. Makes sense to me. :)

How I get to know this seminar?
I was in MRT, and the person beside me is reading a newspaper. I happened to glance upon the ad and then I memorized the website and searched for it when I reached office. In short, nakisilip lng sa dyaryo ng iba hehe. Life is full of coincidence. :)

Did I take the course?
No I didnt :), the 3day course costs 3300 USD by the way, and they're offering at a discounted price of 1700SGD for that night only. They do have cool ads. See this one below which I copied from the brochure. How amusing to relate the course fee with doughnuts and coffee.

Excerpt from the ad:
The Science of Getting Rich (SGR) is a full 33hours of a exciting seminar conducted over 3 days. Many International training companies charge $10,500 for this training, but for you, you will not have to pay $10,500 or $8500 or $6500 or even $4500 for this incredible experience. Your investment for this life-changing and transformative seminsar is only $3247. Let's put this in perspective - for the 16 weeks of this program, thhis is a little over $1.20 per hour - less than the cost of a doughnut and coffee! Would you be willing to puy your coffee money toward this life-changing experience?
