What is wealth?
It is the ability to do what you want to do.

What is poverty then?
The in-ability to express your innate desire.

What has desire got to do with wealth?
Desire is that force within us that attracts and repels circumstances, people, experiences and so on. It controls all life in universe and beyond. Its the same type of working as the wind. Do you know how winds move across the earth?

Yes, air moves from an area of high pressure (more air) to an area of low pressure (less air) and this gives us the phenomenon of wind or moving air. 

You could also say, an area that lacks air and desires it, calls it from an area where there is more than required of it?

Yes, that's right....

That's what happens with everything in the universe. Everything flows to the area where it is 'desired'. Desire is literally 'calling forth' something. 

That phrase there 'calling forth' reminds me of how Jesus 'called forth' Lazarus from his tomb, bringing him back to life.

Exactly. Now there's a great example. We have an impossible scenario - atleast for most normal people, bringing a dead man out of his tomb of a few days alive and well and walking and talking. How did the master do it? The power of Desire. The power of 'calling forth'. 

Ok, so basically, attracting wealth requires the same thing as attracting anything else. And that thing is Desire. 

Yes. 

So why is it so difficult then? Why don't I have what I truly desire?

You answer that question, you're the energy field specialist. 

Ok, here goes;

We don't have what we desire because we've blocked its vibrations (or electromagnetic manifestation) in our energy field somewhere.

Right. Continue.

We do it all the time, because we're taught from childhood to suppress our innate desires. I grew up thinking 'desire' was something to do with 'carnality' and not being spiritual enough or something like that.

Yes. That, and the impression that you are wrong to desire what you desire.

Yes, I have lived with that impression about that all my life I think. I always tried to 'give up desire' and focus on the spiritual aspects of life. I felt this was my salvation and the right way to go. 

What happened with you was just a little misunderstanding. Many men and women 'of God' use the lower path to getting followers. They tell people to be happy with their circumstances and this is easier for them than telling them to expect the fulfillment of their desires. There is an industry out there that trains people to be poor and call it spirituality. 

So you're telling me that my desires are not materialistic or against spirituality.

Right. Your desire is your calling in life, the reason for which you were born. 
The fulfillment of your desire, is the fulfillment of your life, and truly a joy to the creator. The fulfillment of your desire is all that God and nature expects from you. Remember this every day. Remember it every time a desire rises in you. 

You know, many people might take what you're saying as a license to go overboard and do things that hurt other people. Like having an extra-marital affair because they 'desire' someone, or being really greedy and selling products like milk with melamine in it just to get rich. 

You answered your own question there. When the fulfillment of your desire causes hurt or imposes on the free will of someone else, its just not your real desire. Its what you think you want.

Ok, so the tricky thing is to know what's your real desire and what's not.

There's nothing tricky about it. Stop looking for tricks all the time!

Ok, so its simple. If something I desire is going to cause hurt to someone or force someone against their wishes its not really my desire. Why is that?

Because we are all One, and what one of us wants, is what we all want. Its not possible for any one of us to really want something that causes hurt to anyone 'else' - there is nobody 'else'. 

I got it. So I know what my desire is and no one is going to get hurt by me becoming rich and beautiful and enjoying my life to the fullest. Now what do I do?

Now you get rid of all that is stopping your desire from 'arising' in you.

How do I do that?

Its different for every person but in general there are three blocks to desire arising in a person. 

The first is energy field blocks. The second is an attitude of self-suppression. The third is the consciousness of debt. 

So how do I remove energy field blocks so that my desires can arise and attract wealth and well-being to me?

This is so simple. You rest enough. 

WHAT? I have to rest enough?

Yes, this is true. Try it and see. Every time you rest, you are telling your body and energy field that everything is well with you. This puts in the energy field in self-cleaning mode and blocks automatically get removed. Have you ever found yourself clear-headed after a good night's sleep? Why do you think people 'sleep over' problems and then make big decisions? 

Rest clears the energy field and this makes your innate desires rise from the sub-conscious parts of you into your actual awareness. Suddenly you are able to 'see' better and this means you begin to notice opportunities you didn't before. 

You know, that sounds great, but when I'm in desperate hard times, rest is the last thing that's possible. 

This is like the eternal question - Did the chicken come first or the egg? You think you can't rest when you have hard times. In reality, you got into this situation in the first place because of not having clear vision in life, because you were just not rested and clear enough to have clarity. 

Besides, the human system cannot achieve something unless the energy field pushes energy into an effort, and this happens only when there are no blocks. So even if you know what you want to do, you don't have the strength and resilience to do it because there are blocks of uncertainty in you stopping energy from flowing. 

Have you seen a tiger chase his prey? He has no doubt about what he wants. He doesn't think about the situation in Iraq, or the injustice happening in Tibet, or even the neighbors' shameless late night parties. He wants his supper. He stalks his supper. He gets his supper. Can you be that clear sighted and focussed? 

You can. 

Yes I can! And the key to this is to rest enough?

Yes, true rest. 

What is true rest?

True rest is to be without worry, to be in the moment. 

You know that's so easy to say and so difficult to do when the bills are piled up and the bank account is almost empty and there's no further income in sight.

You're wrong. Its easiest now to be without worry. In fact, this situation is a great opportunity to change the way you live. 

Please explain.

You see, you don't really want to live a life of scrimping and saving. As long as you have the security of a comfortable regular income, the chance that you will restrict yourself to it is very high. Now you're worried about your company staying afloat, your job being secure and all these stop you from truly resting. Over the years you develop blocks in your energy field and your vision, till you reach a point where you wonder where your real dreams went and why you were so obsessed with protecting the fake sense of security your job gave you.


That's exactly what happened to me.

Well now's your chance to rest properly, see clearly and live like a human being should, in tandem with nature, in tandem with innate desire. 

Ok, so I've just got to rest properly and trust God and nature to provide everything for me. 

Trust in God for sure, but show your trust in God by letting your desire arise into your awareness. Most people never let their desires arise because they already believe there's no chance of them being fulfilled. We try to shield ourselves from disappointment by doing this. And our so-called loved ones encourage us in belittling ourselves this way. 

I think sometimes its prudence not to expect things that are too far away from everyday reality. For example, you can't tell a 17 year old who is mentally slow to sign up for law school. You need to keep the reality of his abilities in mind. 

No. Who are you to tell anyone anything? If he wants to go become a lawyer or an astronaut or a deep sea diver, its his business. Whether he wins in life or not, is not your business, he started out on his own path and that's all that matters. Anything more is you minding other peoples' business. I advise not to do stuff like that. Mind your own business. 

Thank you. I needed that. 

Now, for point 2. How to let your desire arise by....??

By getting rid of an attitude of self-suppression.

Yes. Self-suppression. You know what that is?

Yes, when I tell myself I'm wrong to want something. That's its not meant for someone like me, or that I will jeopardise other things in my life by trying to have it. 

Two things;
1) Your desire is never wrong. Period.
2) There's nothing you can really do to secure something or jeopardise something. Earthquakes pull down the most well-built buildings. Tsunamis change the world map. Lotteries make poor people millionaires. You can be unknown today and world famous tomorrow. You can be famous today and absolutely forgotten tomorrow. That's nature for you. 

You've scared me now. 

You're scared because you have some sort of half-baked faith that what has not happened to you till now (like an earthquake or a flood or a terrorist attack) won't happen to you in the future. This same half baked faith of yours also stops you from having all your dreams come true because it will end the scheme of things in your life - the scheme you so vehemently cling to. 

I guess I want the security of knowing life will be the same - even though I don't want it to....

Kid, you said it all.

You have been suppressing yourself, because you are insecure, and are trying to find security in a known way of life. Taste the unknown now - there's universes out there. And those weren't created for those who depend on the news channels and websites to 'keep them up to date'.

Ok, got it. I have to expect that if my desires have to be fulfilled, my life will change, I will change, everything will change... and I've got to welcome that, not be scared of it.

Exactly. Have you seen a little bird learning to fly? He's scared, he's all nervous, and his mom kicks him out. The worst thing happens - he falls into unknown empty space and everything around spins. Then all of a sudden an instinct rises in him and his wings spread out. His fall is broken. Surprised, he wiggles his wings and finds he rises a bit. He wiggles a little more, and discovers he's air-borne - not falling. He finds he can control the direction of his movement... and then, he's flying. All the names he just called his Mom are forgotten, he squeals with the thrill and joy of being airborne.

That is so sweet. 

Yes, and all of heaven and nature live to see it happen. 

So no more fear of the unknown. 

Right. Its just a matter of you making a decision. That's all it takes. 

Now for point three. How to attract wealth by getting out of the consciousness of Debt.

I know a little about this one. I have this first-hand experience of a family I know well. Every time someone from that family went to some other city or abroad to live and work, they did very well. But every time they came back home to the others they lost all their savings and got back to square one. I remember the day they were back they'd be all glowing and 'winner-ish' and after two or three days they looked pained and ill. I remember wondering if it was something to do with the feng shui or 'vastu' of their house, but I could never really figure it out.

What actually was happening was, every time one of family went far away, their energy field's vibration became free of the influence of the others. 'Consciousness' is nothing but the pattern and flow of an energy field, and their family's energy fields were all spinning in the consciousness of debt.

I'm a little confused about this. Are you saying they were constantly in debt? Because I know they were...

Whether they were in actual financial debt or not, they were in the consciousness of debt. I say this because 'debt' is the outcome of a belief that you lack something. Its like you just know deep down that you cannot get through life without borrowing to make ends meet.

You know, sometimes people borrow because their income is too less for their family's needs. Like when there are three or four kids, and food and schooling just get more and more expensive... what's a parent supposed to do? Stop sending their kids to school because they don't want to borrow money?

This is the chicken and egg question again. Did the debt come first or the need for it?
I say the debt came first. The consciousness of debt. 

Please explain. I don't get it. My Mom borrowed very often to get me and my brother through school and I think she did the right thing. There were situations beyond her control. 
 
Whether she did the right thing or not, is her business. She did get you guys through school and that was a dream of hers she fulfilled. Don't judge her. 

I'm just saying, sometimes you HAVE to borrow. People help each other, banks help people through hard times. 

That's ok. The passing of money from one person to the other is normal. Sharing and helping each other is normal. That's not the consciousness of Debt I'm speaking of. I'm speaking about the underlying belief that that's the ONLY option you have. 

Oh ok.

This 'consciousness' exists even in very rich people and that's why they cannot enjoy their money. They spend most of it just getting by from day to day. This consciousness can run your energy field flow even when you mentally don't believe that you need to keep borrowing to live.

You mean its a deep rooted thing within - like childhood trauma or something.

Exactly. Its like living near a volcano. The volcano hasn't errupted for 100 years and no one ever speaks or thinks about it anymore. But somewhere deep down we all know it could errupt any time. That's why no one in town makes long term land investments, that's why the young people move away if they get a chance. Its there, but we don't know it most of the time. If you ask us about it we'll say it has no part in the plans we make for our lives. But its there.

That sounds like a deep rooted fear.

Fear is the word. The consciousness of Debt is fear of being prosperous. It is the belief that life is meant to be lived this way. Where we all borrow from one another, where we constantly owe someone something - financially or otherwise - 'this is how life is'. 

So you're saying, to get rid of the consciousness of Debt we have to change our innate belief of how life is. 

Yes, and more. Its not that easy changing the way we believe life is. We develop our ideas about life starting right from the womb. Our mother and fathers' consciousness at the moment of our conception get us going in one direction or another even when we are just one cell big. 

So how you change your consciousness to believe in prosperity instead?

What do I always say when you ask me any question starting with 'How to'?

You say, "Its very simple".

Right. Its very simple. You say NO to others and YES to yourself.

Whatever do you mean?

I mean, you believe in yourself. And let others go their way. Let them be poor or rich, its their choice, their right, their life. Not your business. Don't even judge them - many kings have looked like beggars, many beggars have sat on thrones. You focus on yourself. You know what's wealth to you. 

Ok, so I have this desire and to make it happen in reality  I focus on myself? How?

You look at your own self through your own eyes. And make the changes you want in your self. 

Oh! 'I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways...." 

Yes. When you change your being, you change your consciousness. You change your consciousness, you change your life.

You change your life, you change the world.

Michael Jackson would be so proud of you. 

Wait - so how do I know what I should change about myself?

Here we go again, don't ask ME what you should do. Look at what you desire. Imagine you have it, and look at yourself. Would you be a happier person? A calmer person? A more friendly person? A more helpful person? More out-going, or more reclusive? You know. Now change yourself to be that. You're telling yourself 'I believe in my dream'. Your energy field will change accordingly. Just remember to keep going. It might take some time.

Yeah, like most windows applications 'This might take some time."

Yes. But unlike Windows, you can be sure it'll work. Just keep going.
