GREATEST of SECRETS

You see the man who has worn-out shoes and dirty, wrinkled clothes who carries no wallet or digital card looking hungry and tired on foot as  a poor, unfortunate person in need. You could not be more in error, my friend. The man only becomes “poor” when someone with more comes by and tells him so, saying something with words or mannerisms or energy vibrations from thoughts like, “you poor thing, I am sorry for you, please take this donation I offer to you as someone better off should be willing to do.”

I do not tell what I’ve written here as a theoretical philosophy, oh no, it is told from one who knows who has “been there” and told out of love. In this way the man you saw as poor repays you ten-fold. By now, I have been there many times and each time was priceless gain in uplifting consciousness. That is the only place wealth is properly going to be found. The wise man is one and the same as the humble man, and knows the greatest of secrets. The one you call poor is much closer to wisdom than are you, Sir. The rich man who hoards his wealth is a fool who will behave as a fool, don’t you see? Who believes this life is a competition that rewards the one who has the most toys? How silly! God comes to life as human on Earth time and time again. Is it to impress? More silliness!

Vincent van Gogh on the day he finally realized he was born to paint beautiful colors on canvas was so elated he walked many miles in a snow storm in worn-out shoes with holes and no coat only to tell his cousin, a painter himself, that he was going to paint! He returned alive but in a very cold, tired, aching, hungry body but, in his words, was as happy as a man can be. This is what I am talking about. Today one of his paintings sells for millions of dollars or more! He repays a hundred fold! But much, much more than that he repays with masterpieces of art for the human soul. Get this, only the very wealthy can afford such prices so if they are not fools how do you explain them paying so much for a poor lunatic’s work when the man never earned a penny for his work while alive? What’s that about? Think it over. This is your life after all. Are you wasting it out of fear?
