So he says a person may come into full harmony with the formless substance by entertaining a lively, sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows upon him. Gratitude unifies the mind of men with the intelligence of substance, so that man's thoughts are received by the formless.

So he hasn't defined formless yet, but he's sharing with us how to connect to the formless. And he chooses to link man and formless with gratitude. He continues, "A man can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the formless intelligence, through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.

He now links all three concepts together. Men. Formless intelligence. Gratitude. And sustaining on the creative plane, which is something he did mention earlier that we must be on rather than the competitive plane.

He now gives a slightly clearer prescription on how to go about doing this. He says, "A person must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become, and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all his desires are granted to him."

So Wallace D Walters now makes it very clear on the requirement for a future activity outcome to be realized. And a definite mental image is the requirement. So you need to form a definite mental image and hold the image in your thought along with deep gratefulness as a requirement.

For those of you who say you have been pursuing wealth, let me ask you a very simple question: "Do you have a deep and clear vision of your future in five years' time? In 10 years' time? Is it clear? Can you articulate that vision of yours in crystal clarity?

The good news is that if your answer is no, we are going to go through an exercise on how to go about developing this mental image.
