How to Attract Money Using Mind Power… Part 1 of 20: Desire by James Goi Jr.
Cyndi’s note: We are one post away from completing Jame’s 20 part series on Using Mind Power to Attract Money and it feels like a great time to bring back the article that began it all.
We have been working with this series since March 2010 and as we approach it’s completion we would love to hear about your successes with implementing Jame’s teachings and suggestions.
Remember that yours may be the words that help another begin this journey 
Would you like to attract a lot more money into your life? Most people would answer “yes” to that question. That’s fine as far as it goes. But in order to be able to attract a lot more money, you must really want it. Most people who would answer “yes” to the above question would be thinking something like this: Sure, that would be great. Some people who would answer “yes” to the above question would be thinking something like this: Yes! I want a lot more money! And I am bound and determined to get it! See the difference?
It is a well-known fact among metaphysicians and mind-power experts that desire is the first step towards attainment and accomplishment, and that without desire nothing much gets done. It follows, then, that desire is the first crucial step in the process of attracting more money. Here’s one of my favorite quotes on the subject of desire:
“Desire is the great moving power of the mind—that which excites into action the will and powers of the individual. It is at the bottom of action, emotion or expression.”
–Robert Collier, The Secret of the Ages, 1926.
Think about this: You don’t even scratch your nose without first having the desire to do so. Scratching your nose is easy, so it doesn’t require much desire. Attracting a lot of money is a challenging task and it requires much more desire than scratching your nose does. To be able to attract a lot more money into your life, you will need to increase your desire for a lot more money. And the more money you want, the more desire you’ll need to build.
In my book, How to Attract Money Using Mind Power, I give specific “simple steps” for increasing one’s desire for more money. There are a few lists to be made and so on. In this article I’d like to focus on one powerful, pivotal, thing you can do right now to increase your desire for more money. By doing even just this one thing, you will find your desire for more money increasing and so you will find yourself taking more and more action, both mental and physical, towards getting the money you want to get. This increased action will in itself feed your desire, and your increased desire will then breed even more action.
So here’s what I’m suggesting you do: Begin to think about the things you want that more money will allow you to have. That’s it. Would you like to have a bigger home? Would you like to have more free time to be able to pursue your hobbies and other interests? Would you like to travel? Would you like to retire early? Are there people or organizations you would like to help financially? Really start to think about the things and circumstances you could bring about in your life and the lives of others if you simply had the financial resources–the money–to do them.
As you continue to imagine all of the things you want to have, and the circumstances you want to create, you will just naturally begin to feel increased desire for those things and circumstances. Notice that desire. Strive to be aware of it. Feel it growing within you. Desire, want, long for those things you would have and do if only you had the money. In these ways you will be building up a mighty force, a deep reservoir of energy, which you will be able to draw upon to help you to get the money you want to get. Here’s another quote I like:
“Desire is at the bottom of every achievement.”
–Orison Swett Marden, How to Get What You Want, 1917
Yes, desire is at the bottom of every achievement, and this is no less true of the achievement of attracting money.
It is impossible to overemphasize the importance of the role desire plays in the attracting/manifesting process. So many people study metaphysics and mind power and the law of attraction and all that, but they often get only weak results when they try to apply what they learn. Why? It’s largely because they have weak desires. You can study this mind stuff for a lifetime. But, if you don’t know what you want and really want it, then knowing how to attract and manifest is not going to help you much.
This article is the first part of a 20-part series on how to attract money using mind power. Part One is on desire for a reason: Unless you build up some very strong desire for more money, you just will not do what you need to do to get the benefit you could get from applying the rest of what you learn in this series. You are going to learn some very amazing mind-power principles and techniques which you can use to attract tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. You can use this information to attract millions of dollars. It all depends on how much money you want, and on how badly you want it.
And it all starts with your desire. Do you really want a lot more money? Do you want thousands of dollars more? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? There’s no question as to whether or not you can have the money you want. The only question is, Do you want it badly enough to do what you need to do to get it?
I cannot give you desire. But I can give you information. You supply the desire, and I’ll supply the know-how. So, between now and the next article in this series, think about the things you desire which money can help you get. Desire them. Want them. Begin to need them. And begin to desire, want, and need the money it will take to get them. If you do that, I mean really do it, the rest will be just details.

great article…just ordered the book and cannot wait to give it a read.
matt deloff (August 8, 2011 at 4:05 pm): Thanks for the comment and thanks for letting us know you ordered the book! I’d love to hear your thoughts on the book once you’ve read it. All good things to you…
It’s true I think that desire can take you a long, long way. Thanks.
Hi James, thanks for the part-1 of 20(Desire). In here, the importace of desire has been very nicely emphasized..We ususally, go through verious types of the self-help products and invest our time & money to acquire knowledge on wealth and properity but fail to get those in reality due to our lack of strong desire.. Very well-said, we must have a burning desire..Pls advise more ways to creat stronger desires within ourselves.. Look forward for the Part-2.
Leila (September 2, 2011): Thank you for your comment!
Rouf Chowdhury (September 3, 2011): Happy you liked the article. Desire is indeed the first step towards any attainment or accomplishment. Part 2 has been posted, by the way, as Part 1 has been re-posted. There is one more article (Part 20) for me to write in this series. Really, at the core of increasing our desire is to continue to think about those things you want and to continually move towards those things as best you can at any given time; with faith and optimism, think about how your life will be when you have the money you want to have, and your desire will just naturally increase as you stay grounded in this process. Thanks again!
If I need money, desire money, want money, to purchase all the things my imagination dreams up, then other writers say that I am in a STATE OF LACKING which STOPS ME ALLOWING THE MONEY TO APPEAR.
My “lacking” vibrates to the universe that I must stay in the rut of “lacking what I want”.
If my desire is so great that I jump off my chair and look around me for opportunities to work more hours for money, I guess I will notice job advertisements and then stand in the queque with 1500 others who are unemployed in most countries around the world, who are after the same job.
I think most people KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT, but need GENUINE HELP to decide what steps to take to move towards their next goal.
I can pretend that money is my friend, and that I always have more than I can spend, and that there are amazing opportunities appearing every day for me to have more money – but the money tree or obvious opportunites haven’t appeared YET.
Most so-called millionaires don’t have a clue how to manifest money.
They make money selling information on the internet, using NLP to make people impulsively use their credit cards. This is not really manifesting money at all, because 80% of the people downloading, actually find they can’t make much use of the information in the way they expected (or were promised) they could.
When people feel they are lucky and have almost everything they desire; and feel grateful for what God has given them already, and what they will receive from him in the future – he gives them more under the Biblical promise that:-
‘for whom feels they have plenty, more will be given’
‘for whom feels they have little, even that will be taken away’
Two prisoners stood in their prison cell looking out the barred window. One saw the beautiful stars, the other saw the mud. No prizes for guessing who was going to cope the best with his incarceration.
We only need warmth, food, shelter and one true friend to happy on Planet Earth. If you earn $2 per day or more, you have MORE THAN 80% of the population of the world.
If you want more, you must be ABSOLUTELY GRATEFUL FOR ALL YOU HAVE ALREADY, because if you are not pleased with the world that God has made, guess what, you are saying that God was a lazy tradesman – and he won’t let you be one drop happier until you aologise and re-read the Ten Commandments.
If you want more, be thankful for the abundance and friends you already have, AND MORE WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU.
God is waiting for you to ask him to help you. He has trillions of ways he can give you what you wish for.
You only know a few ways because you are limited by your 5 senses which trick you into believing things that science can prove are not true.
Joronda (September 4, 2011 at 4:17 am): Thank you for commenting on this article. I believe that sometimes the seeming differences between what writers write are actually matters of misunderstanding, semantics or context more than they are matters of differences of opinion. Either way, though, I believe it would be obvious to most people that without a desire for money, people would have little money or even no money. For instance, most people work jobs they would not work were they not being paid money to do so. So, if such a person were to reach a state of having absolutely no desire for money, that person would quit their job. Many such a person would likely soon end up among the homeless, as most people have only a small financial cushion (if any) to help them get through interruptions in income. Some writers may seem to be saying desire is a detriment to the attracting process; other writers make wonderful cases for the assertion that without desire there would be little if any attracting, manifesting or advancement taking place. To give voice to a few of those writers who would argue FOR desire, I offer these quotes:
“Desire is the great moving power of the mind—that which excites into action the will and powers of the individual. It is at the bottom of action, emotion or expression.”
—Robert Collier, The Secret of the Ages, 1926
“Desire is the creator; but when desire is spread over a host of things it…accomplishes little.”
—Elizabeth Towne, How to Grow Success, 1904
“Preceding accomplishment must be desire. Thy desires must be strong and definite.”
—George S. Clayson, The Richest Man in Babylon, 1926
“Desire is at the bottom of every achievement.”
—Orison Swett Marden, How to Get What You Want, 1917
“Desire creates the power; power inspires the mind of the individual, and success is the result of that inspiration rightly applied.”
—Raymond Holliwell, Working With the Law, 1964
“… Men draw toward themselves that which they Desire.”
—William Walker Atkinson, Dynamic Thought, 1906
“Remember that desire is the first law of gain.”
—James K. Van Fleet, Hidden Power, 1987
“Whatever may be the scale on which we exercise our creative ability, the motive power must always be desire.”
—Thomas Troward, The Hidden Power, 1921
Regarding the concept of gratitude being an important part of the attracting process, I agree with that wholeheartedly, but might point out that being grateful for something and desiring more of that thing do not cancel each other out, and can actually feed and strengthen each other.
Here’s what I wrote in my book about the gratitude/money connection:
“Money goes where it’s appreciated. So, be grateful for all the money you’ve had in the past, for all the money you have now, and for all the money you’ll have in the future.”
James Goi Jr., How to Attract Money Using Mind Power, 2007
And, on the general subject of gratitude, here’s a quote I use in the book:
“There is nothing comparable to the drawing power of gratitude in attracting the good things of life to us.”
—Rellimeo, Within the Holy of Holies, 1920
And I also agree with the statement that, “God is waiting for you to ask him to help you. He has trillions of ways he can give you what you wish for.”
Yes, God/the universe is waiting for you to ask Him/It to help you. And it stands to reason that we would only ask for things we desire to have or to come about. So again we see, as James K. Van Fleet says above, that “…desire is the first law of gain.”
And yes, God/the universe has limitless ways to give us what we “wish” for.
I just looked up the word “wish” at thefreedictionary .com. Here is some of what I found:
n.
1. A desire, longing, or strong inclination for a specific thing.
2. An expression of a desire, longing, or strong inclination; a petition.
3. Something desired or longed for.
v.tr.
1. To long for; want. See Synonyms of desire.
2. To entertain or express wishes for; bid.
3. To call or invoke upon.
God/the universe wants to give us–and is capable of giving us–those things we would like to have, including more money, but He/It does need to know what we would like to have so that it knows what to give us. And of course what we would “like to have” is just another way of saying what we DESIRE. What we “wish” we could have is just another way of saying what we DESIRE.
All human beings everywhere want what they desire. Desire is as natural to us as breathing is. Desire for monetary gain is as natural as desire for food, clothing and housing. And in fact, in a modern society, money is the medium we exchange for food, clothing and housing. Since most people would agree that food, clothing and housing (within reason) are good things, I think they’d likely have to agree that having enough money to secure these things would be a good thing. They desire food, and so they desire the money they need to pay for food. They desire clothing, and so they desire the money they need to pay for clothing. They desire housing, and so they desire the money they need to pay for housing.
I believe desire is an extremely important component in the money-attracting process. In fact, I believe it is SO important that I made it the subject of the first chapter of my book. After all, without desire for more money, there would be no point to even reading the book.
I continue to wish for all people everywhere all those good things they are wishing for (desiring) themselves…
Thanks James and to all of you for this fascinating dialogue. Just to add a few lines.
18 years ago, i found myself working as a busy District Midwife working 50 to 80 hour weeks.
With a four year old daughter and caring for my ailing mother as well as part time work as a holistic therapist and studying for a Psychotherapy diploma. STILL I did not feel worthy or good enough.
My desire was to learn to LOVE and care for myself as I cared for others and to earn enough to partner my husband in supporting us.
Long story short, I experienced some very nasty dealings from my peers, which in turn led me to decide to leave working for the UK health service. Not what I wanted to experience at the time BUT this was the PUSH I needed to be kind to myself in not working so hard.
Been self employed ever since and every time I begin to experience lack, just say out loud to the universe (in private) please send me more or show me what I need to do.
Result we have always had more than enough but always short of being really wealthy.
From reading the posts I see that I have been mostly content with enough as lead a pretty frugal life through choice. Therefore massive riches have not come my way. In my work I am filled with the abundance of working with wonderful people with shared respect.
On the other hand. With my seventies advancing I realise that I will now need to step up my desire for more money as can see that I will not always have the energy to work as I work now. AND also DESIRE to have more money to be able to afford to pay for more spiritual coaching. Look forward to further articles. Opps! can see that I also need to focus on the desire for continued good health as well. mmmm.
Anna (September 17, 2011 at 5:06 pm): And thank you too for participating here! I think you’ve illustrated a great point/teaching, and that is that often we will be forced or nudged out of certain circumstances and find out on the other side that the change was beneficial to us in some way–though we often don’t realize that as we are going through it. The universe wants us to be where it wants us to be, and sometimes takes seemingly-drastic measures to get us there. “More than enough” is good, and many would be/are just fine with that. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But neither is there anything wrong with having way more than enough/being wealthy. And having an overabundance of money is not necessarily at odds with living a frugal life. Just because we have a lot of money it doesn’t mean we have to go out of our way to spend it. In this economy, perhaps a good situation is having a lot of money but needing only a small percentage of what we have to live. To me, money mainly represents freedom and time. The more money I have the more freedom I have to do what I want to do and to live how I want to live; and the more time I have to spend exactly how I choose to spend it, not having to spend my precious time working some job just to pay the bills. And of course health IS an important element of our overall wealth and abundance in life. Without our health, even monetary riches lose their luster. Still, even for the not-so-healthy, having a lot of money can make life more bearable and can often directly and indirectly help us to regain/maintain our health…
