The Infinite Intelligence Principle

I would like to disclose to you the meaning of the term "infinite Intelligence" as the author of the books I read meant it. It refers to God.
He used the term "infinite Intelligence" because he found that the books would sell better if he did not use the word God. On his first book, The Law of Success, he used the word God, which led to his book not being sold extensively and being pulled out by book stores from their book shelves if memory serves me well. I think he found resistance from publishers, too, when he used the word God.
Therefore, in lieu (instead of) the word God since not everyone believes in God or refers to him as God, he coined the term "infinite Intelligence" to refer to a greater power than any given person who lives on earth and to the reservoir of knowledge which a person can access from the wisdom of the many people who live now and who have lived before us.
He viewed the ether (the atmosphere, the open space) as a place where the thoughts people have can often be felt or received as what we often name "vibes" or hunches. That's how come the author wrote about the idea that thoughts become things and are not just lost, but become material or things. Like the law of physics which says that all matter is transformed into something else and not just dissipated. He wrote in one of his books that the thoughts we have are released into the atmosphere and others as well as us individually might be able to tap into them and receive them as hunches or simply a guess about whatever. The same way that a scientist will often get an idea about something and write a hypothesis to be proved or disapproved using the scientific method.
So the term Infinite intelligence is not a top secret or any thing like that; it’s just a more acceptable term often in the world of writers and publishers and book sellers and maybe book buyers, too, chosen by American Attorney Napoleon Hill when he wrote his books about Individual Achievement commissioned to him by Andrew Carnegie. Using the term infinite intelligence, he appealed to a wider audience of readers and to more people within various population segments.
