Wealth and Freedom

First of all let me say that very few people are willing to pay the price to become wealthy and free. By paying the price I mean to actually go inside yourself and change you, your conditioned attitudes, your unresourceful thoughts, your belief systems. Many people are not even aware that it is themselves who need to change, not their environment. Change what's inside you and everything outside will begin to change too. Stop letting your environment and present circumstances control you.

The problem is people can't see past their present circumstances, so they focus on what they have or don't have now.

Poverty = No Personal Power = Lack of Freedom = Poverty

The solution is

Wealth + Freedom = Personal Power

I would like to say right now that this wealth must be generated on your own terms. Even if you have a 100K salary you will never be free because you are not earning it under your terms and conditions. This wealth is not just of a monetary nature. I am talking about internal wealth or spiritual wealth too. ie peace and happiness.

Looking deeper into this situation, some people who are more aware than others, may realise that they are slaves to their controlled environments. They are slaves to government, media, bosses, relationships, religion and even money itself.

You should not try to improve yourself while you are held captive by these controlled environments which others have used against you. Having said that they are largely illusionary and imaginary and you must break free before you can begin the process of wealth building and can finally be free.

On the one hand most are not aware enough to do it. On the other, people want to be controlled. They feel more secure having a job even if it pays peanuts, having the latest fashion accessory so they fit in, agreeing with the latest fads and opinions even though they are completely pointless, paying their taxes like good little citizens, even though they could legitimately find tax shelters elsewhere, staying in relationships when they're not happy and so on. It gives them a sense of who they are in line with their conditioned belief systems. It is these very belief systems that they need to change.

Let's examine freedom.

We are now in a situation especially in many western countries where our daily freedom is being eroded to the point where people feel controlled, unhappy and powerless. Yet it is the very people themselves that are to blame. A typical example is when an air or train accident takes place and people automatically look for a scape goat. "This shouldn't have happened," they say. "We need to tighten the law or make a new law so this never happens again." Personal freedom is therefore further eroded by even more restrictive legislation. While it is important to have basic safety precautions in place this ultimate safety is never going to be achieved. It is people themselves who crave this level of safety and security and lack of freedom based on their 'need' to be safe and secure, which of course they learned while they were young. Life was never supposed to be like this, this utopia, it's too restrictive. Life was supposed to be exciting and unpredictable!
