Money
is an idea. Money is what we agree it is. Money is perception.
Nothing more and nothing less. In order to achieve appropriate
behavior around money, it is essential to follow this principle.
Even
though it may not appear logical to most people, this remains true
nevertheless. By learning this, you are opening your mind to true
wealth.
Since
I am keeping this article basic, I will introduce some ideas, but
not delve very deeply into them.
I give
more thorough coverage of these ideas in other articles.
While
growing up, I was not fully informed about money. I witnessed
people thinking of money with fear, which caused their minds to
freeze up.
Thus,
I was actually misinformed.
The
only reason people do not regard money as an idea is because of
fear.
Understanding helps reduce fear.
Objects are different from ideas.
To
explain what I am talking about, here is an example.
If I
give you an apple, I no longer have that apple.
If I
tell you that eating apples is healthy, I still have that idea. In
fact, the more I teach that idea, the more I will believe it.
My
belief in any idea is strengthened every time I express the idea. I
have noticed that this is a primary motivator (usually subconscious)
for many of the words people say to each other. This principle leads to
Exercise 1, Communication Awareness (below). Expressing my ideas
has two results. First, it introduces the idea into the minds of
other people. This gives the idea more strength in the collective
consciousness. Second, it reinforces my belief in it. Every time I
hear an idea (passive), it occupies a little more space in my
consciousness. Every time I teach an idea (active), it occupies
even more space in my consciousness.
The
more passion that is used to express the idea, the greater the
impact. The more passion that is used to express the idea, the
greater the impact. See what I mean?
This
impact can be positive or negative, depending on how I view the idea
and how it fits into my perception of the world.
The
above illustrates the basic spiritual principle that ideas increase
by being given away.
This
leads to an important question: What ideas about money are you
teaching yourself every day? When I was growing up, I taught myself
to fear money and hate money. What ideas about yourself and your
potential for success are you teaching yourself every day? This is
the basis of many self-help programs. I will give you a simple
exercise, Exercise 2: Affirming your money ideas (see below).
Exercise 1: Communication awareness.
Principle: A primary motivator for human communication is
attempting to strengthen an idea or to convince oneself of the truth
of an idea. I recommend that you check this out for yourself. With
this awareness, see how many of the words you hear every day fit
into this category. Secondly and more importantly, see how many of
the words you speak every day fit into this category. When I say
words, I mean the ideas expressed by the words, the content of the
communication. You can evaluate this using percentage if you want.
Exercise 2: Affirming your money ideas.
Once
you have become aware of the spectrum of ideas that you have been
teaching yourself from exercise 1, now focus on what you express
daily regarding money. If you do not notice very many money ideas,
you may want to look for repressed ideas. Ask yourself how you view
money. Do you see it as fluid? Do you feel fear? Lack? Anxiety?
Hatred? Conflict? Guilt? Undeserving? Excluded (socially)? How
do you regard people with more money than you?
Identifying negative emotions is the first step to letting them go.
Next, you want to develop positive affirmations expressing ideas
that you would like to have about money. Then, tell yourself these
ideas every day. This is simple.
MONEY
IS FLUID
If
money is an idea, it should be treated as an idea.
Ideas are fluid.
Money is fluid. Ideas flow from one person to another. Money flows
from one person to another. That is why money is called currency.
Ideas increase as they flow. Money increases as it flows. Because
ideas are fluid, they change and evolve. Because money is fluid,
its value changes as markets evolve.
When ideas are
combined, the combination has greater value than the sum of its
parts. (For example, motors and wheels have more usefulness when
combined than separately.)
Fiduciary power
increases when capital is combined and when partnerships are formed.
Money is fluid, not
solid. The only reason money is perceived as solid is because of
fear. Fear can make any idea appear solid and real. Fear freezes.
Relaxation makes fluid. In the condition of fear, the mind will
twist all new data into verification for the fear. Fear makes it
difficult to see things truly. Fear can make it difficult to see
money as fluid.

R Real
It is important to
treat objects as objects and to treat ideas as ideas. If you mix
these up, you will create conflict.
It would be foolish
to treat a flowing river (currency) as a solid. It is fluid. In
physics, solids and fluids have different physical properties.
The poor generally
treat money as a solid.
The rich generally
treat money as fluid because they understand the properties of
money.
The middle-class
care about how much money they have (solid).
The rich care about
what their money is doing for them (liquid.
Investments
generate money. Where does that money come from? It seems to come
from thin air.
Remember the
spiritual principle from above that ideas increase by being given
away.
You have the power
to create something from nothing. In fact, you do it every day.
It is up to you how
you choose to use that power.
My objective is to
help you to use your power to achieve wealth and freedom. I also
hope to inspire you to become free from fear of your own power.
This leads to
another basic spiritual principle.
If there is
something that you want, you must first give that away. If you want
to receive a smile, give a smile. If you want to receive love, give
love. If you want money, you must engage in that action of your
mind. This does not mean that you have to give all of your money
away. But, you must find that spot in your mind. What does money
represent to you? Freedom? A representation of a state of mind? An
expression of life force? Or something to hoard?
Wherever I invest
my mind, that investment will bear fruit.
MONEY IS ENERGY
When money flows,
it becomes energy. When electricity flows, it provides energy.
The only reason
that money is powerful is because it is dynamic. Money is active.
The more dynamic,
the more powerful.
A booming economy
is dynamic.
An economy in
recession has less activity.
Hope activates the
economy.
Fear deadens the
economy.
When interest rates
drop, economic activity increases.
I would like to
introduce a couple of ideas about money.
In order to do
this, let’s consider some basics in physics.
When an object
moves, it has mass (weight), direction of movement, velocity (speed)
in that direction, momentum, energy and power.
There are formulae
that relate these aspects.
I propose that the
same is true for money.
In order to
recognize this, it helps to let go of your fears regarding money.
Fear does not allow you to see money truly.
I want the power
associated with money, not just the weight.
Better
understanding generally helps alleviate fears regarding money.
To better
understand, let’s looks at some physics relationships.
As mass
doubles (and speed is constant):
Momentum doubles
Energy doubles
Power doubles
As speed
doubles (and mass is constant):
Momentum doubles
Energy quadruples
Power quadruples
If mass and
speed both double:
Momentum is
multiplied by four
Energy is
multiplied by eight
Power is multiplied
by eight
Like I said, I want
the power associated with money, not just the weight.
Therefore, I want
my money to be as fast as possible. What does that mean?
Here are some
questions I like to ask.
How quickly does my
investment prosper?
How quickly does my
money move from one investment to another?
What is the
interest rate or the rate of return on investment?
What is the cash
flow?
These questions
illustrate the speed of money.
To have energy and
power, money must flow. The faster it flows, the more energy and
power. If you multiply the speed of money by 10, you multiply the
energy and power of that money by 100. But what if the flow stops
or slows? If there is a blockage of the flow of money (same as
slowing the flow of water), it loses its energy. Two forces that
can block the flow of money are fear and greed. On the spiritual
side of things, the opposite of abundance is greed. Here is an
analogy for this. When my hands are full, I cannot receive
anything.
A DIFFERENT MEASURE
FOR WEALTH
I propose a
different measure for wealth. I just told you that money is
energy. Instead of simply seeing how much cash and assets someone
has at any given time, I think in terms of energy.
I like to define
wealth in terms of energy.
Someone’s wealth is
how much energy he or she can create at any given time.
Another way to say
this is how much activity he or she can generate at any given time.
I might also say
the ability to “create something out of nothing.”
Remember, money has
the potential to be energy and power.
There are other
factors as well.
If I have friends
who are willing and able to give me money or do favors for me when I
ask, that contributes to my wealth, my potential to create activity.
If I am a
motivational speaker or other performer, I can inspire powerful
emotions which may translate into activity.
If I have employees
or partners who will do what I ask, this also increases my ability
to become dynamic.
If I have strong
fiduciary power, I can convince bank loan agents and investors to
loan me money and thus generate massive financial activity.
To measure the
quantity and speed of money, I have invented the term “momentum of
money.” In my opinion, this idea helps give a better picture of
wealth.
THE ORIGIN OF MONEY
In case you did not
believe me when I told you above that money is an idea, I will tell
you a basic history of money.
Exchange originated
in the form of bartering. As fortunes grew, it was agreed to give
value arbitrarily to objects that were found only in small
quantities. The objects that grew to predominance were precious
metals, with gold becoming the standard. When voyagers traveled
long distances to deliver gold, they found it safer to leave the
gold in a safe place and carry instead a promissory note which
represented the gold. The recipient of the note could then pick up
the gold later. For a while, all money was backed by gold which was
kept in storage. The gold in storage served as collateral. This
gave the notes (paper money) intrinsic value. During that time, the
number of notes that a government printed was limited by the amount
of gold they had in storage.
More recently, that
changed. The type of currency we use today is called fiat money.
Fiat money has no intrinsic value. The value of fiat money is
purely theoretical. Fiat money is not backed by gold. It is not
backed by any collateral. Fiat money is nothing more than a
promise. A promise is an idea. It is backed only by the
government. A government is not collateral. The trustworthiness of
the promise is based on the strength of the government and
particularly the strength of its military. If the government is
somehow unable or unwilling to honor its promissory notes, there is
no other assurance for fiat money.
