New Wealth Connections

Metaphysics is often interchanged, in conversation, with religion and when we think of religion we often think of our own denomination. However, this narrows the scope of metaphysics and the true metaphysics definition is

“The branch of philosophy that examines the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.”

of course, religion achieves this but also, so does quantum physics and new-age thinking. While some of us might think of metaphysics an airy fairy subject, it affects our lives whether we take notice of it or not.  In the 18th century, Kant introduced the idea that the human mind is an active originator of experience rather than simply a passive recipient of perception.  In other words, perception is projection. Our reality is created by what we think about and what we believe…

So, what does Kant metaphysics have to do with wealth building?

If you think of wealth as a physical structure, like a house, then metaphysics is the foundation. While it may be possible to build a house without a secure foundation, its longevity cannot be guaranteed and cracks will soon appear. The more it grows, the bigger the danger of collapse. True wealth is created as a result of your beliefs. Your beliefs originate from your perception and experience of the world. If our beliefs and experience tell us that we can never be wealthy, then our beliefs will project onto our reality and ensure that we never become wealthy. Of course, wealth is just one example. This pattern occurs with what we believe about anything in life.

What is wealth?

For most people the definition of wealth is “An abundance of valuable material possessions or resources.” I would argue that this definition is only part of the story. If you could imagine a scale of wealth, graduated between zero and a hundred, where would you score your current level of wealth?…

What about health and happiness? If you think about it, without health and happiness your material possessions or resources will not seem very valuable at all. I like Richard Wilkins question of “Tomorrow when you wake up, would you rather have £200 million or to be not dead?” Of course most people answer “not dead.” and then go on to protest that it’s not the real question. But ask someone who’s in a hospice that only has a few months to live, and they are likely to be willing to trade their whole lifetimes possessions in exchange for just a few more months or years with their families.

So, thinking about that question now, what proportion of the fact that you are living today in this moment count towards your level of wealth. And on your scale of wealth between a zero and hundred, where would you score your current level of wealth now?

We are at the mercy of our subconscious mind power, the subconcious mind is something that we are naturally unaware of, yet it is so very powerful — much like the tides and currents of the oceans, they are not easily noticed on the surface that they are a huge influence on your destination.

If you are looking to become successful, manifest desires, become fulfilled etc. What are your chances of succeeding if you are pushing against the tide or current? Most of us know that to achieve different results we have to do different things. It sounds simple doesn’t it? But it feels just as difficult as trying to change the direction of the tide simply by standing in the water. So, to change results we need to change our behaviours and change our behaviour is we need to change our consciousness or beliefs.

How do you change your consciousness or beliefs?

It takes more than simply reason or logic. For some people it takes a near death experience, divorce, loss of a close friend or family member etc. For others it starts with a decision often followed by visualisation exercises, wealth affirmations, coaching and more, or any combination of the above.

We must not forget that our mind is not an independent organism. It is fully integrated into our physical bodies and is influenced by what we do and what we eat. If we want to be mentally optimised and stay emotionally on top of our game it would be wise to look at brain nutrition. This is a huge topic that we won’t cover here but one proven brain supplement is Krill oil. Fish in general is good brain food but Krill, specifically, is high in effective brain nutrients and is low on the food chain and so is less likely to have accumulated the heavy metals and poisons that exist in the oceans. Among other foods that are good for the brain are: Maca, Cacao nibs (the raw ingredient for chocolate), Goji berries…

ADHD is a big topic these days, and there is a lot of argument about the causes. It would be interesting to see what nutrients going to the ADHD brain. Likely, there won’t be much fish, fresh fruit or vegetables in the diet but plenty of processed convenience foods together with lots of additives. I’m not saying that diet is the only factor that I can see the evidence in my own children when they eat too many sweets or drink too much cola. Just for one last thought, where do all those growth hormones go that are given to cattle in order to make those big juicy steaks? there is probably some substance in that old phrase “you are what you eat.”  For anyone looking into ADHD strategies, diet would be a good area to look at. If you type in ADHD nutrition into Google will be over 3 million results presented.
