The Biggest Mistake Made by Seekers of Spirituality...
I want to get this out right now. Right here. Too many people have this mixed up.
To be spiritual does not mean you need to lead mediocre lives, free of material possessions and content with where you are.
This is a lie. It started with the hippie movement in the 60s when the myth arose that monks and enlightened ones live in caves as hermits in rags. The idea went on to say that to be spiritual, we need to cast away our material possessions and retreat from the world.
Wrong.
To be spiritual is to engage the world. It's to seek to elevate the rest of humanity. Sometimes through knowledge. At other times through power or money.
Yes—I said those words. Power. Money.
These words make a lot of spiritual-seekers cringe.
If it made you cringe -- then you are still far from enlightenment.
Power and money are not bad. They are tools that we can use to make this a better world. * Gandhi used his power to liberate his countrymen. * Bill Gates is using his money to wipe out famine and disease in Africa. * My teacher, Pramahansa Yogananda used his power and money to bring meditation to the West. * Kennedy used his power to put a man on the moon, elevating the limits of what humanity thought to be possible. * Jose Silva, another teacher of mine, used his money to grow his organization, the Silva Method, into a global life-changing powerhouse. He trained over 12 million people to use their minds to shape their reality.
If you think big dreams, power, money, possessions are bad—banish this thought immediately from your mind.
Starting today, and with the techniques I will reveal in this lesson, I want you to focus on thinking big. It's a huge world out there. With many problems to fix.
The world needs strong, powerful people with the desire and means to help correct problems. You need to become one of those people. And in this lesson, I will guide you through three exercises to help you get there.
How the idea of "Limits" Arose
When you were born, you came into this life without limits. "Can't" didn't exist for you yet and the world was literally yours to command. But somewhere along the way, you began to believe that there were in fact, limits to your potential after all.
Somewhere, we got this crazy notion that fate had dealt us a certain hand of cards and what's more, we were destined to simply play themwithout any say about the hand we might be holding.
Now, how did that happen?
It started with the words adults used on you as a kid.
These words may have come from your religious upbringing, "You will only be rich if it is God's Will".
Or from your parents, "C'mon son, you can't be an astronaut. Be more realistic."
Or from your friends, "Dude, only nerds become great scientist. Stick with us, we'll take care of you."
Or from your Teachers, "You want to be a writer? Why? There's no money in that. You know how HARD it is to be a successful writer? Get an engineering degree."
Along the way, we start to give up our great dreams and settle into mediocrity.
And we look at "great" people, world leaders, successful entrepreneurs, best-selling authors and world-changing social activist and we see their achievements as being beyond our reach.
So, how is it that we've developed this sense that someone else might be "better than us"?
Is it because they have more money? More knowledge? More experience? Perhaps we think they're more attractive or more successful or more charismatic. Whatever the reason, that sense of inequality begins to tear at our self-esteem.
Where we were once filled with wonder and excitement, now we're filled with dread and fear. Instead of enjoying the freedom to be exactly who we want to be, we now feel an enormous pressure to simply fit in and be like everyone else.
But the big secret is that it's not money, or intelligence, or inheritance, or luck that makes one successful.
There are successful people with college degrees, and successful people with little education.
There are successful people who were born rich. And there are successful people who started out dead-broke and homeless.
There are successful people in developed countries, but also in poor nations.
There is no single quality that stands out among the wealthy except ONE...
The Successful People in the World Understand and Use the Law of Attraction in their Daily Lives.
The Successful Ones understand that abundance is there for the taking. It is not a win-lose situation—there is enough for everyone. We can all be successful, rich and influential.
Because the greatest secret is your mindset, not your current circumstances that determine success.
