The real home of the rich is in the heart, and not in the religion of money. The rich need to ‘let go’ of living financially, or known as, ‘for the love of money’. To be rich is usually to be homeless in the heart. Joke is, they won’t let go of the obsessive chase of money because of fear even though Mr. and Mrs. God are going to invite them into the ‘mystery’ plateau above or below at any moment! Isn’t life wonderful?! Join me, I’m a billionaire with no money, no fear, and a great life, moment to moment, and who knows about ‘the big party on the other side’ where money doesn’t exist. Or….will you even be invited upstairs?
I spent 20 years in the corporate and successful world of New York City, and quite by chance as I had no idea at anytime in my early years, having just finished 5 years of college that I would make a career in marketing especially in the ‘Big Apple’ of New York. Before leaving NYC, and promises of making lots more money, and while sitting out on my balcony near top floor of a 52 story building the day after Christmas having made no where near millions, but still more than 95% more than others, I felt the adrenaline to acquire more and more. But, I could see it was definitely for the pleasure of riches it brought, that it was a ‘religion’ taking over the developing spiritual side of me. Actually, treating myself with many consumer perks was quite nice, but at the expense of real inner living.
Money and making it is like an endless supply of air. It only stops when breath stops unlike most things like being an athlete even though the career is over by 30 or 40, if you’re lucky. With money it often it’s just beginning (sometimes earlier of course). An athlete knows when it’s time to stop. Money chasing is an addiction that can go on throughout life while the chase compromises certain moral values and closes the heart for opting the pleasures of the body and mind with little regard for the art of giving, and love beyond the superficial.
Those on a path of more money than they need are as much of a sheeple life as are the masses who have little idea what’s going on except looking for their own comforts. Greed is part of gaining monetary richness as it is in other ways for the masses who treat life as owing them a living. It’s all greed void of true heart and thankfulness for the blessing of life.
Feigning love to others and especially to yourself is to deplete the bank account of the heart. Nothing is what it seems. Listen to your heart that’s where the real riches are hidden!
