Why I Threw the Millionaire Book into the Trash


On a walk this morning, I met a cheerful African/American
man with his two dogs. He was wearing a tee shirt with
Big Bend National Park on the front. I asked him if I could greet his dogs.
"Did you go to Big Bend I asked?"
"Yes, he said,"
"Isn't it amazing being in the wide open where there
is nothing but you and nature? One becomes very clear what
is nature out there. Here people are pretending it's nature."
I tell you what...
We're not going to be able to import food much longer. People think
they have their careers. They don't realize that soon we will all
have the same career, gardening."
The man listened and chimed in, "People don't wanna get their hands dirty."

"There's nothing like a homegrown tomato on my sandwich!" He spoke with experiential knowledge.

We departed as the sun became more intense and as I
continued my walk under the canopy,
"Why I Threw My Millionaire Book in the Trash"
popped into my head. I knew I was to write about it.

I think you understand why I threw the book in the trash.

Are you listening to what is wanting on mother earth?
When you go out in nature, what is the message you hear,
as drought spells stretch for longer periods,
and more irrigation,
and less oil production,
and more carbon in the air?

Are you listening to what is wanting to happen?
What is mother earth asking of you?

She is training us to wake up and listen to our deepest
inner messages. We won't be following a 9 to 5.
We won't be doing things for money.
We will be responding to the needs of people(including yourself!) and mother earth,
and taking care of our communities.

What is mother earth telling you?
to put on your suit and make one hundred more speeches about money?
wheel and deal and scheme?

What is all this scheming about how to make a million dollars?

In reality there is no scheming.
In reality there is no money.
There is only the divine energy in her many forms.

Anyone who thinks about money is thinking about money.
Thinking!

Two friends broke their relationship,
after Jenn lent money and agreed that
Adel could repay in payments.
Then suddenly, Jenn wrote a curt email:
"I want all of the money repayed to me now!"
Jenn is a LOA business coach and an intuitive.
Jenn said to Adel one day, "There is someone you
can work for that lives just around the corner."
Adel knew who she was intuiting:
an unlikely prospect for coaching...a very angry man.

All of this for the sake of money.
Manipulation. See how insidious it can be?
We get so sidetracked about what really matters.

We won't be writing many more millionaire books.
Money is fine. It's been a tool we needed and will need, as long as its
part of the game.

meanwhile, MOTHER EARTH IS ASKING YOU TO LISTEN
