It’s good to be rich.
It’s good to be rich. That’s what Mr. Wattles, author of “The Science of Getting Rich” says.
I’d have to agree. But some people like to believe God thinks they should be poor. That’s not true – unless you claim Unfathomable Wealth & Power as your deity. No one wants us to be “poor”, “struggling”, “getting-by” or even “comfortable” except Unfathomable Wealth & Power; a very human collection of individuals, fooled into accepting the appearance of limited supply by excessive greed and selfishness.
Wallace Wattles doesn’t editorialize nearly as much as I. He talks about the difference between getting rich to enrich life and getting rich to win. If we can believe our universe is forever and ever expanding, it makes sense that more generates more. One seed can produce an endless supply of fruit because it forever multiplies.
The “formless stuff” of the universe is activated by thought to produce the subject of the thought. Matter is created out of nothing – at least nothing we humans can understand. When I was in high school, we learned about “spontaneous generation”. That is creating a generation of rats, for example by letting garbage cook, undisturbed, in the summer sun for three days. Science made notable progress in reducing illness and death by understanding relationships related to sanitation. Can you imagine the progress humanity will make when we scientifically explain the relationship of thought to manifestation? Do we really need to wait for science to explain a relationship before we use it?
On one hand there is getting rich “to win”. If people are selfish and greedy, they hoard the very best of what they believe is limited supply. Competition, by its very nature, assumes limited supply. All competitive intentions lead to win-lose situations. The bad news is that win-lose situations are temporary. Ask Donald Trump - or anyone who is conspicuously wealthy.
On the other hand, every human has a right and an obligation to be rich. Being rich allows people to continue making more of life, with life, for life. Rich people live healthier, more productive lives. Rich people do more things for more people than poor people. More and more people are becoming and staying wealthy by giving up the myth of limited supply and having faith in Infinite Supply.
I look forward to exploring “How Riches Come to You” next time. Happy Memorial Day weekend.
