‘I HAVE WAYS YE KNOW NOT OF’
By the time you have finished reading this booklet
you will be able to tap an unimaginable power,
‘unimaginable’, for hitherto you have been constrained
by your imagination. You will know what Jesus meant
when he said, in the authorised King James version of
the Bible, “I have ways ye know not of.” This is
nothing less than the secret of receiving riches from
unexpected sources. You will have the power to
receive money against the odds; to receive valuables,
gifts, cash that you previously could not imagine.
Right now your imagination is working against
you; for there is no way, if you are on a limited - or
even no - income you can see how any kind of wealth
can be yours, short of having to rob someone.
Strangely enough, no one lacks imagination more
than the robber and the thief: for they cannot possibly
imagine how wealth can be obtained by any other
means. But their approach leads to life-long guilt,
anxiety, tension, if not imprisonment. Yet they display
an imagination alien to most of us in their will to
frighten or injure others in their quest. This is a purely
self-destructive kind of imagination, for the wealth
they grab ultimately leads to irreversible unhappiness.
But you can - through the gift of Jesus’ limitless
power and imagination - receive riches and whatever
else that can greatly enhance your life, and you don’t
have to concern yourself with from where it comes. IT
IS NOT YOUR WORRY.
Your concern is to learn to open yourself to the
4
limitless riches of the universe and to allow them to
enter your life.
THIS IS ‘THE WAY’ THAT JESUS SPOKE OF,
WHICH THE MAJORITY OF MANKIND ‘KNOWS
NOT OF’.
It was not only Jesus’ way, but the way of every
enlightened master that ever lived or will ever live.
An advanced spiritual teacher may not live - or seek
- material wealth, but he understands perfectly that the
principal behind wealth of any kind - be it spiritual or
material - is exactly the same.
To follow Jesus’ way you have to suspend belief,
that is, your belief in the limited vision of your life,
which is the belief you hold now, the belief that is
holding you back and has always held you back.
We are conditioned to believe in limitations. The
difference between Jesus and us is one only of degree:
his constrainment by the idea of limitation was far less
than ours. By learning to let go of our mental and
spiritual constraints we can allow the riches of the
universe to enter our life, riches of the material and the
spirit.
I repeat that it is true: you can receive money, gifts,
etc, even when there is apparently no place or person
for them to come from.
And also I repeat: THAT IS NOT YOUR CONCERN.
That concern belongs to the universe, to the infinite
source of abundance. It is a concern that belongs to
‘God’ or whatever you care to call that otherwise
nameless inexhaustible power or source that energises
5
everything seen and unseen.
That that source is, is an absolute certainty. It is
there all around, manifest in the miracle of abundance.
Life teems with abundance, nature is teeming with it:
trillions and trillions of everything; abundance on such
a scale that we can scarcely comprehend it.
Your need of riches is completely insignificant by
comparison: in fact we insult the Miracle Source of
Riches by doubting that it can supply our requirement.
We insult our deeper self.
WHAT JESUS WOULD SEE
If he were to meet you right now in the flesh he
would see himself in you.
Think about this.
Think about it long and hard.
Don’t let this thought leave you: not now, not later,
not tomorrow, nor the day after.
Now, you wouldn’t be able to see yourself in Jesus,
for you lack imagination. I have been guilty of the
same. We all have. That is why he is the master and
we, well… nothing. Or so may think; it is certainly
how most of us feel. Such is the effect of thinking in a
self-limiting way.
You are not being asked to become a fantasist or a
daydreamer. By asking that you should let go of your
sense of limitation, it is not suggested that you may
think you can walk on water or through solid matter.
When you free yourself from the idea of limitations
- an idea which is the very antithesis of the Infinite
Supply of Riches - you are beginning a process that is
6
internal: a process of the spirit. And as the process is
internal it is unnoticed by others; you remain a moral,
and no one will observe anything different about you;
certainly not in the beginning. Only you will know the
difference, the experience is all yours and yours alone.
The ‘miracle’ that follows is the response of the ‘outer’
universe to the change in your own ‘inner’ universe.
No, you do not become a fantasist living in a world
of make-believe. You do not put this booklet aside, fill
in a lottery coupon and expect to win fifty million this
weekend. To expect that is, believe it or not, to limit
the power of the universe.
How you receive riches from the universe is up to
it, it is not your concern. Your concern - this duty to
yourself - is to believe and accept.
You are not to allow doubt to enter your thoughts.
Doubt is self-limiting and entirely counter-productive.
This idea is so strange to many of us that we have
difficulty in coming to terms with it. That’s why it can
be repeated a thousand times and still it doesn’t sink
in. We may grasp what we read, but inside, we don’t
accept. It is this blockage which stands in our way.
Jesus experienced little or no such blockage.
But why are we at the mercy of such blockages?
Because it is the human condition.
Jesus, though a man, yet believed he was divine. He
refused the notions of limitation, division and
separation, believing instead that he and the father
(God) were one.
And we are no different, except that we don’t know
7
it. We think we are different from Jesus, but that is
delusional.
Whilst the cynic might ask, “How can you suspend
belief in self-limitation?” and will claim, “It is self-
delusional!” But the point is, we already think in a
state of self-delusion. This is the main problem with
our lives, and no wonder we have so many problems.
We like a restrictive, limiting life: never
experiencing our true divine potential, never knowing
our complete potential, blind to hidden talents and
possibilities, which are always there when we actually
look. We live in ignorance and ignorance is never
‘bliss’: it begets and perpetuates our delusion, and we
can never get rid of our misery.
Nor can we ever experience the truest happiness.
We cannot encounter the Divine.
Few ever encounter Jesus. The regular Christian
thinks he encounters Jesus yet continues to lead a life
that is not brimming with happiness and certainly not
material riches. What most Christians believe is rooted
in self-limitation, for they cannot fathom the truth
behind the words of scripture. Believing every single
line of the Bible in a literal sense has been the cause of
much suffering and anguish.
To experience divinity - in effect to experience our
true self - we have to let go of the ‘human condition’.
By letting go of it we experience something completely
different - certainly something quite different to what
the Bible literalists experience.
We are ‘born of sin’. It is not wrong to want
8
money. It is not wrong to want to live. Such ideas of
‘sin’ harm us, restrict us, hold us back. If you are
content with being ‘merely human’ then perhaps you
shouldn’t be reading this booklet; on the other hand,
read it enough times and you might come round.
CASH ‘FROM NOWHERE’
I explained these ideas to a 20-year old recently. I
could do this, for despite his youth and inexperience,
he had a very open and spiritually inquisitive mind. He
confided in me that, being unemployed, his income
was but a pittance; and that he was demoralised at the
many times he had been turned down for a job. He was
living with his parents, but wanted to have a place of
his own. He saw no future for himself and he felt
generally down in the dumps. I asked what had he got
to lose by applying the spiritual principles that I had
explained to him, except his unhappiness and
dissatisfaction?
“I might be disappointed,” he acknowledged.
“A risk surely worth taking,” I responded, “but if
you don’t take it you run a much bigger risk - that of
sinking into even greater despair.”
“But how on earth can I receive any money? I need
at least £5,000 to get on my feet, to raise a deposit on a
flat, and the rest…”
“Look!” I interrupted, “Don’t think about how the
money will come. So there is no obvious way in which
you can receive money - so what? If you don’t apply
these principles you will almost certainly not see any
real money for the foreseeable future.”

“I like your approach,” he said, “but…”
“But what?” I interrupted again, “How many ‘buts’
do you intend to summon for your reason not to give it
a try? Go away and think carefully about everything I
have explained and either you try it and - yes - risk
disappointment, but that’s life. Life is risk, without it
there is no living - but what if I am right?”
I explain later what the lad did. But here’s the
outcome: He was on a train from London Waterloo, it
was quiet and there was no other passengers. Where he
sat there was a large padded unmarked envelope: it
was unsealed and from it protruded a £20 note. What
should he do? Give the envelope to the guard? But
there was no guard about and curiosity got the better of
him: peering into the envelope he saw it was stuffed
with cash, all in £20 and £50 notes! But there was
nothing inside to indicate to whom all this belonged.
He sat there almost in a sweat, and the journey was
eerie, for no one got on or got off the train as it
proceeded on its path. He was expecting to hear an
announcement about ‘a missing package’, but it never
came. The lad - honest as the day is long - left the
envelope laying beside him. By the time he reached his
destination he decided the envelope was going with
him and squeezed it into his inside pocket. He phoned
me: “There’s £15,000 in £20 and £50 notes here! What
should I do - report it to the train company or the
police?”
To believe in the limitless abundance of the
abundance is not also to make oneself stupid. I
