TRUE WEALTH

"Wealth is a product of a man's ability to think." Ayn Rand

Often in the news we are shown constant images of how a number of the population is struggling while probably only one tenth is swimming in riches they don't even know what to do with it. I will not assume a position of denying this present situation. "Wealth" seems to be monopolised and to some degree it probably is and there has been outcry for “redistribution of wealth”. However, it would be liberating to remember and acknowledge that the “wealth” that is monopolised is only the erroneous idea about wealth that most people have been blinded with, which is mainly monetary. It is only a fraction, or a pot of gold, of the mountain of gold that lies unnoticed or explored. This mountain of wealth is invisible to many of us because we have our eyes set on the small pot of gold that only a few have gotten their hands on.

We are in an era of a paradigm shift where we are reshaping our collective consciousness. And part of the process of reshaping consciousness is the acquiring of "new”, or rather, forgotten knowledge. Knowledge that may have been hoarded by some people but is accessible, yet still very few have come to understand. 

Would you agree that if we were to know what the rich know and do what the rich do then we would have to be rich as well? Would you agree that it is a fundamental law that like causes produce like effects? If your answer is yes, which I am confident it is, then that is all that's needed – a redistribution of a Real Wealth Knowledge which will produce wealth of the material nature, for it is a fact that before acquiring anything you first need to conceive it. Everything starts in thought. The majority of our population is kept in constant need because of lack of proper, wealthy knowledge.

Poor thinking habits keep most people poor! Not poor working habits. Most people work hard but they don’t think hard.

Many people raise their firsts and placards in the air in demand that the government and the unions address the seeming huge disparity between the "haves" and the "have nots". They protest and burn tyres in their attempt to act out their frustration and anger at the supposed neglect of the government to give them what they “rightly deserve”. Yet in all of this demonstration is a prevalent thought of insufficiency, which is demonstration of the mental attitudes between the rich and the poor.

You see, in this planet that we are a part of, and the universe that this planet is a part of, there are laws that can easily be observed by anyone who will stop for a moment and just wonder and look deeply. We call these Natural Laws and most of us have gotten familiar with this term. We call them Natural Laws because not only are they easily observable by any mind but they also respond in equal proportion to every mind– it doesn’t matter whether you are black or white; male or female. There are many people who are of different demographics and geographical displacements however have come to the same conclusion about some of the operating principles of this universe (there are myriads books filled with in depth knowledge and wisdom about these laws).

Most people believe that poverty or riches are the products of geography or demography, however you surely have observed that there are people who are well off and others who are struggling even though they are from the same location or of similar culture. In some instances the rich and the poor live side by side Just a few blocks down from a rich person, there is one who may not be as rich or  who is at the far extreme of being poor. This is because wealth or riches are not respecters of location, gender, colour or even language but rather a respecter of a person’s THINKING. Human beings may be respecters of these parameters as one can easily observe the exploitation of people based on their gender or colour or language. These Laws respond equally to how a person thinks of himself and of the world around him. The rich remain rich because they think richly. This has nothing to do with a person’s moral or ethics, that’s why you find wealth both with the saintly and crooks because these laws simply respond equally to all points of consciousness. There is no discrimination in the laws of nature. They work for everyone, every time. I know this is a hard concept to accept let alone, ponder, due to the observed "suffering" of many. However i want to remind you that what you are observing is not the effects of natural laws, but rather the effects of man's laws which in most cases are in disharmony with this laws.

In his The Law of Opulence book, Wattle D. Wallace once said that, 

“There are people who believe others have to go without in order for some to have enough. That wealth or success is only possible for those who have superior ability or the power to attract to themselves a large portion from the limited supply.”

Many people all over the world believe there is not enough goodness, yet have you sat down and observed nature? Have you ever heard of trees hoarding the sun's light from the grass, or the rainfall water from other plants for themselves? That is because Nature does and has everything in abundance. And here is the big part – Man is part of nature! The only scarcity exists is in the mind of a man.

Teach a man about the abundance of nature he immediately drops the idea of competition and scarcity and becomes wealthy, for he now functions in harmony with the laws of nature and uses them to his benefit rather than his detriment. There are laws in the universe and one of the laws is that nothing can be kept away from you except out of your own ignorance of it, whether good or bad.

You attract what you conceive including wealth, and no amount of human force can keep that from or bring that to you, except you. Think wealth and you will attract it. Think abundance and you will live in it. Think life and you will have it. It is Law. “All that we are, is a result of what we have thought”, said the Buddha.
