 Excerpt from Introduction:
"In our physical world wealth is the most important tool human beings have to achieve that goal. It is the nexus of the life matrix, the coalescing force that binds and builds. Money is the language of wealth, the means by which we communicate and express ourselves in our physical form. As with any language it comes in many types developed over time by and for the people of that age. As with any language there is grammar and syntax. Money can be skillfully expressed and understood or pour forth in an unintelligible babble of disconnected utterance. Money can be as sweet and pure as a Shakespeare sonnet or as base as filthy pornographic garbage or hate filled racist spew. Just as language is expressed by many voices in many tongues in all fields of endeavor, be it science, art, business, religion, or politics, so too is money fluid throughout the whole of human experience and consciousness.
We are going to explore money. Our intent is not to demonstrate a new get rich quick scheme or learn how to exploit other's strengths and weaknesses, but rather to discover the inner workings of money within ourselves. We begin by recognizing that much of our physical life is an illusion. That does not mean it is not real. Often our life is more painfully real than we would like. It is an illusion because what we perceive is not all that is really happening. Magic is real. The performers are flesh and blood and the tricks and illusions conform to the physical laws of the universe, yet does anyone believe that the beautiful lady in the revealing costume has indeed been sawed in half? We delight in the mystery and illusion because we know it is not real. We suspend our belief to revel in the mystery of the illusion.
The theme of this book is balance. A sense of wealth is indeed subjective and unique to each individual. What is common to all is the shared relationship we all have with money on the four planes of money consciousness. In the following chapters we will look at the history of money to see from where we have come and look at each plane of awareness and see how we better understand our different perceptions of money. Through the different chapters we will touch on the different areas, or planes, of consciousness in which money works in our lives. Each chapter will attempt to bring out the nature of each area through some analysis and anecdotal stories that are designed to touch on that particular plane of your money awareness. From these mundane examples of each plane we will move to deeper levels of understanding in the different areas of study. Our teacher for many of the ideas and practical lessons for achieving our MoneyForce is a wise teacher named Amatamaji. We will listen to her answers to questions presented by her student Baraja.
