Intelligence is under this same necessity for continuous increase. Every thought we think makes it necessary for us to think another thought; consciousness is continually expanding. Every fact we learn leads us to the learning of another fact; knowledge is continually increasing. Every talent we cultivate brings to the mind the desire to cultivate another talent; we are subject to the urge of life, seeking expression, which ever drives us on to know more, to do more, and to be more.
In order to know more, do more, and be more we must have more; we must have things to use, for we learn, and do, and become, only by using things. We must get rich, so that we can live more.
The desire for riches is simply the capacity for larger life seeking fulfillment; every desire is the effort of an unexpressed possibility to come into action. It is power seeking to manifest which causes desire. That which makes you want more money is the same as that which makes the plant grow; it is Life, seeking fuller expression.
In this section, Wallace Wattles further explains the necessity for continuous increase and God wants to experience that increase through our efforts and desires.
Every thought that we have makes it necessary for us to think another thought. Every advancement that we make opens doors for us to make more advancements. This is increasing life.
When we get in the way of this increase we are becoming a log jam for this increase to happen and this is not good. We need to have desires and we need to take action towards these desires to bring them into our reality.
For example: I have always had a natural ability to understand computer technologies. One of the only A’s I got in high school was in my computer programming class.
But that talent lead me to getting a computer early when they came to market. Followed by learning how programs worked followed by learning how to build web sites, followed by learning about blogs and blogging and my knowledge continues to increase with my desire to learn and utilize new computer technologies.
One of the most important things that you can do is pay attention to your desire and then take action towards them. And keep the flame burning on those desires. This is the power of increase at its best.

YOU must get rid of the last vestige of the old idea that there is a Deity whose will it is that you should be poor, or whose purposes may be served by keeping you in poverty.
The Intelligent Substance which is All, and in All, and which lives in All and lives in you, is a consciously Living Substance. Being a consciously living substance, It must have the nature and inherent desire of every living intelligence for increase of life. Every living thing must continually seek for the enlargement of its life, because life, in the mere act of living, must increase itself.
A seed, dropped into the ground, springs into activity, and in the act of living produces a hundred more seeds; life, by living, multiplies itself. It is forever Becoming More; it must do so, if it continues to be at all.

How does the first sentence make you feel? A little uneasy? Liberated?
It is not God’s will that you should be poor. Have you ever heard of the parable of the talents? It was written in the bible and it goes like this comes from the Bible Gateway.
Matthew 25:14-30 (King James Version)
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
We have all been given talents and those talents are there for us to use for increasing life. When we use the talents that we have been given to serve others profitably, we are increasing life. And we are rewarded appropriately based in part by the Law of Compensation.
And one of the greater lessons to be learn is, if you refuse to use these God given talents, you will loose them.
God is for an ever expanding life for all and the only way to make that happen is by using our talents to the best of our ability and by not discounting those habits.
