The universe (you) always seeks balance, but out of the three big life requirements (health, wealth, happiness) money is the only one that carries the most emotional baggage because it is such a source of global obsession, therefore it throws most people out of balance.
How many people do you know who honestly enjoy working 50 hours a week to get money to service debt??
How many people do you know who would not take a million dollars if you offered it?
If we were all born with a billion dollar trust fund that we got when we turned 21, money would cease to be such a form of control.
But because the world is founded on some folks wishing control over others, the easiest way to control them is with money.
I’m going off on a tangent here so hold on………..
In the past, when a government treated the peasants badly, the peasants had a revolution.
So the powers in charge knew they had to invent a way to control the peasants. Money already existed, so ‘they’ decided to give the peasants the illusion of wealth, so they could feel better about their lot in life and take the focus of the object misery they were forced to believe they had to endure.
There also had to be a way to further separate them so they felt fearful of each other.
How did they do that??
Television
Television allowed the negativity of the media to be beamed into your home to frighten you.
Just look at the most popular shows on TV. Violent shocking crime shows and dim witted comedies.
As a side note, did you know that out of the 100 million TV viewers in the USA, only 13,000 people are polled to tell the rest what they should watch? It’s true just dig around on the Nielsen Rating website.
Anyway, where was I??? Oh yeah, controlling the peasants.
To make everyone feel like they are happy, you give them shiny new things.
But the people can’t afford enough shiny new things to make them believe their truly happy, so how do we do it??
Debt.
Debt is the absolute best form of control there is, even better than giving people money, because debt actually makes you think you have worth, when you don’t have anything except a form of slavery.
When I cancelled all my credit cards, for the longest time, I felt unworthy because I didn’t have a Visa like everyone else.
That’s the level of brainwashing.
So the powers at be, say “To stop the peasants rising up and overthrowing us every 5 minutes, we need to trick them into thinking they’re happy, without giving them anything. In fact we need to deceive them and enslave them further.
It took many, many years to perfect this, but the system we have now is the debt system of slavery, where you feel you must have stuff you don’t need, to make yourself feel good, brought with money you don’t have to impress people you either fear of don’t like.
Pretty effective system right?
Now if I could just come up with the right lotto numbers
Sure it sounds like one big conspiracy theory and maybe it is. I don’t have any answers, it’s different for everyone, but I do know that acceptance is not compulsory.
You don’t have to accept your current financial situation. When you accept something you say to yourself "This is real"
If you decided you were rich on the inside, from what I’ve seen and learned, it won’t be long before you’re rich on the outside.
All you have to do is decide to think a certain way, a different way and put a little trust in your ability to create your reality.

PS I've read all the books, seen all the movies, written all the words and spread the 'faith' as much as I can whenever I can.
I have a wonderful wife, wonderful kids and live in a place that is relatively free and enjoyable, but there has always been one area of my life that is lacking....money.
So by sharing here at this forum, it helps me to get a better understanding everyday. Thanks to everyone, Steve and Erin
