It is Noble to Seek Wealth
The original plan for today was to continue the series from our last post about experiencing divine discontent – moving to the next stage of killing off the old you. But there was a question in the comments that causes me to question if I was clear about the role and value of money and material possessions in the process. So let’s take a quick detour and delve into that…
Your Title Doesn’t Define You
Imagine this scenario: You’re a young gun, hired by Hot, Trendy, Innovative Company, Inc., a big international company with a powerful reputation. People who work for this company are revered and respected in the space. You join with your youthful idealism and begin working your way up the corporate ladder.
A few years later, you stumble across information that the company engaged in some improper financial accounting. Now you’re pondering what your proper course of action should be: Report the bad behavior and risk career reprisals, or forget you saw this and leave the decision for someone else. Do you think your course of action would be influenced if you had a Hot, Trendy, Innovative Company, Inc. logo on your forearm?
Hope, Dope, and a Dead Pope
It was spring, 2005 and I was sitting in a coffeeshop in Amsterdam toking up some sinsemilla, while the TV on the wall played images of people mourning the death of Pope John Paul II. Maybe it was the dope, but I was profoundly melancholy, thinking that like so many before him, the Pope was a very spiritual, caring and well-meaning human being – who would leave a legacy of poverty, ignorance, and despair for his followers.
Are You a Broke Hero?
This is a continuing series on how you are infected with negative memes, developing limiting beliefs from them. This causes you to work to become prosperous on your conscious level but undercut your own efforts because of your subconscious self-sabotage programming. The crushing side effect is that you decimate your self-esteem, stop dreaming big, and settle for a life of mediocrity. Last post we explored why you love to hate rich people. I told you that we had yet one more timeless universal meme to explore. And that is…
The Danger of Organized Religion
This is a series about ending self-sabotage to improve the prosperity you manifest for yourself. As part of that process you must identify the subconscious negative beliefs you possess and replace them with beliefs that are positive, empowering ones. There are four main culprits that create the vast majority of your limiting beliefs. In this post, we looked at the first of these, the education system. Then in this post, we explored the second culprit, government. Now let’s explore the third offender, organized religion.
How Government Enslaves You…
Our goal in this continuing series is to end self-sabotage and improve the prosperity you manifest for yourself. As part of that process you must identify the subconscious negative beliefs you possess and replace them with beliefs that are positive, healthy and empowering. To do that, you need to first identify where you are getting infected with those negative beliefs.
How You Are Trained to be a Worker Drone
We’re continuing our series on how you get programmed with negative mind viruses, and then self-sabotage your success, heath, and happiness. Last post I told you that the only way you end self-sabotage and improve your results is to identify the core, foundational, subconscious beliefs you possess that are negative, toxic, and dysfunctional. Then you must eviscerate those beliefs, and replace them with beliefs that are positive, healthy and empowering.
How You Got Toxic and Dysfunctional Beliefs
Put yourself in this picture: You’re staring down an army tank division advancing on you. There are almost 200 tanks, light tanks, and armored cars. The accompanying soldiers also carry rifles, service revolvers, and bayonets, as well as some bazookas and other anti-tank weapons. You’re standing in front of them poised for battle, alone, holding a steak knife.
The Brainwashing of Self-Sabotage
Since you were a toddler you have faced overwhelming forces determined to brainwash you, hold you down, destroy your self-esteem, manipulate you into buying shit you don’t need, consuming toxic substances, going into debt, blowing up your relationships, and basically becoming a worker drone in the collective. You were unknowingly brainwashed by these forces and programed with numerous negative, dysfunctional, and harmful beliefs. And once you accepted those beliefs as your own (unknowingly), you’re probably been practicing behavior that is still today, self-sabotaging the results you say you want.
From Setback to Comeback
Recently I began writing my 14th book, which will be book one of a trilogy (or maybe even a trilogy of trilogies) on living a life of prosperity. The intro begins with the story of when I had my pizza joint seized by the IRS and auctioned off for my delinquent payroll taxes. It got me thinking about yes, how much drama and trauma I’ve experienced in this life – but also how those challenges have strengthened me and led to greater blessings.
