Affluence and the Nature of Reality

Affluence and the Nature of Reality
15 comments

Affluence is the experience in which our needs are easily met and our desires spontaneously fulfilled. We feel joy, health, happiness, and vitality in every moment of our existence.

When we are grounded in the nature of reality and we also know that this same reality is our own nature, then we realize that we can create anything, because all of material creation has the same origin. Nature goes to the same place to create a cluster of nebulas, a galaxy of stars, a rainforest, or a human body as it goes to create a thought.

All of material creation, everything that we can see, touch, hear, taste, or smell is made from the same stuff and comes from the same source. Experiential knowledge of this fact gives us the ability to fulfill any desire we have, acquire any material object we want, and experience fulfillment and happiness to any extent we aspire.

All of material creation is structured out of information and energy. All quantum events are basically fluctuations of energy and information. All these impulses of energy and information are the non-stuff that make up everything that we consider stuff or matter. The impulses of energy and information that create our life experiences are reflected in our attitudes toward life.

The principles that relate specifically to the creation of unlimited material wealth can be applied to fulfill any desire, because they are the same principles that nature uses to create material reality out of a non-material essence.

Adapted from Creating Affluence, by Deepak Chopra (New World Library, 1993).

Yeah, thanks Deepak, for all your wisdom - and your endorsements! How's that MLM (Multi Level Marketing) thing working out, by the way? Are you making enough money yet?

I'll be sure to pass on all your wisdom (and your endorsements to the millions who will starve to death this year. I'm sure if they just buy some ZRii everything will be OK.

I think it's really important to realize that money is made of the same spiritual essence that we are, so we are one with it like we are one with everything else in the universe. Too often we think of money as something outside ourselves, or we fear and resent it, so our relationship with money becomes distorted just like our relationships with people suffer when we have negative attitudes toward them.
