great point. nature never stops flowing. so why should we?

we are a part of nature.

[Mindpetals]

Exactly... we are Nature just as the Waves are :). Never stop flowing, growing, and glowing :)

[Mindpetals]

Thanks so much for your support -- means the WORLD to me :) I'll never stop making these vids!!!

I appreciate your thoughts on movement and a relationship to nature but in my opinion, financial wealth and happiness through a relationship with nature are somewhat polar opposites. I sometimes wonder if you're trapped between two desires not willing to commit to either.

Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.

This is a true traveler.  He has no concern for wealth.

[Mindpetals]

Perhaps you're right about financial wealth and the connection with nature. But at the end of the day, I guess it really depends... For me, I am not willing to sacrifice my freedom and connection with Nature, my peace and calm, for money. Now, if I make millions as a result of all of this, then, okay, great.

[thesetwofeet]

Okay, now that I think is a better journey, if you have the conviction to follow that path with your whole heart and no doubt. You and I may not share the same religious beliefs but the truths remain no matter what your belief.

For me, live with no worry about how you'll be provided for and then if God chooses to bless me with wealth, accept it. God blessed Job with huge wealth but Job was an honorable man of strong faith. Happiness cannot be attached to the wealth though.

[questionsmyfuture23]

I couldn't agree more with what you said, I feel the exact same way!

[Mindpetals]

Right. I always know that, for me, Nature will provide. This "knowing" for me has been the 1 thing that has destroyed all true fear in my life.

Thanks for your amazing comments. I'm learning a lot from you.

[Mindpetals]

(part 2..)

I won't complain. So, again... it really depends on how one looks at the whole thing. I look at "financial wealth" as a big game that I enjoy playing from time to time.

[thesetwofeet]

I am not opposed to seeking fortune or fame - I used to day trade stocks and have the mind of an entrepreneur but it's not a righteous path nor a path that expressed a bond with the earth. They are different paths in my opinion. A person can choose one or the other or find themselves split among two separate paths.

For me the best path is to live free and righteous and if God (or the universe if you choose) chooses to rain riches upon you, then so be it.

[Mindpetals]

(part 3...) It's "fun" to make money. But the second the "fun" and "play" is lost in anything that I do (that brings in money or not), then I drop it immediately... Because, it's just not worth it for me. I'd rather be "poor" on the streets and free, than be "rich" in a mansion and a slave to a boss or system or institution, etc..

Thanks for this thought-provoking comment, my friend.

[thesetwofeet]

Money has destroyed many a man. Look at how many rich and famous men live in misery. There are men who can be rich and still hold true to the laws but they are few.

Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.

[Mindpetals]

I think of money as inert. It has no real power. Any destruction that came from money-- at the root, it really came from man. Semantics? No, I don't think so. WE are the cause of the problems... Not money :) One can be EXTREMELY financial rich and still have an intact heart. Still have love, peace, and kindness. Still have awareness.

Some people may think your antics are silly, but I think you're brilliant. This world needs more people like you. I am very observant of nature and I take everything in, but I never express my thoughts about it. Thank you for another great message.

[Mindpetals]

WOW, thank you. Yes, I have a lot of antics and jokes... And I freely use them throughout my talks. Thanks for see that.

[designhope]

good thoughts, thanks for the video :D

[Mindpetals]

Thanks a lot :)
