Many spiritualists belive that to gain wealth, you need wealth consiousness. Yes, there is more to it than that, but the consiousness is a very important component. Many people who are wealthy came from well to do neighborhoods. The fact that they went to good schools and had smart parents really helps. But, what also helps which people don’t understand, is that the fact that they grew up around wealth instills a feeling of wealth consciousness in them.
My comfortable childhood
I remember that as a child, I grew up in a very comfortable environment. Everybody had a nice house, enough to eat, and there were trees and other nice aspects of the environment all around. I thought that this was how the world was, and that this was what I would always have. Unfortunately, after I finished college, I was not able to make much of a living and had to live in a much poorer circumstance. However, I still had the wealth consciousness of the upper-middle class in me; and that consciousness is what kept me motivated to get back to what I was used to.
Regaining my standard of living.
After many years of hard work, I attained a standard of living that was similar to what I had as a child. Of course, now I live in an urban area, and as a child I lived in the suburbs. There are differences. However, I aspire for more. The problem, is that I have the wealth consciousness of an upper-middle class person. I am used to affluence, but not oppulence. I am not used to being around people who have millions!!
Get used to a type of environment
The key here is to GET USED to whatever consciousness you want to develop. If you want to have the consciousness of a great musician, then listen to great music all the time and be around great musicians. If you want the consiousness of a great wine expert, then hang around great wine, and around great wine experts. If you want the consiousness of a wealthy person — then hang around master business people, read their books, and be in places that they would be.
Thinking about having a bigger venture
My business has been nice for years. But, it never grew. I always am trying to make it bigger and better, but for years it was stagnant. Part of the problem was the economy. I kept getting smarter and better, while the economy kept getting worse — these two factors averaged out to stagnant growth! That was not a bad result considering that most others in my industry were ruined! Now, things are growing, but my thoughts are slow to grow. I need to picture my business having ten times as much going on, and many more people working for me. I need to picture assistants for everything, and a completely different work environment. If you can picture it — that is the first step in the battle. Getting used to doing more types of things is another part. I need to picture running 10 sites, and 10 blogs and having most of the work done by others. I have to picture training these people and managing these people, and finding a place to do it all in. Can you picture your business growing? How do you see your company’s growth unfolding?
Being around the right consciousness
One technique I found which makes no sense to anyone except myself and a few people I know is feng-shui. I have written many blog articles about feng shui. BEING around wealthy people who are actively moving wealth around is excellent feng-shui. If you go to a neighborhood where millionaires live, and these millionaires are doing large deals regularly — then you will benefit from being around their energy. A neighborhood of retired millionaires will not do very much good as the money is stagnant. You need movement and the consciousness of the movement.
