# Introduction

Would you like to get a profound explanation on the fundamental laws of life to obtain more wealth, love and abundance? Would you like to know which values differentiate people the most? Would you like to gain access to the full mindset that attracts more into your life and learn how to shape yours to get more results? Then this is the book that will give you the answers that many others out there simply can't. And it is hoped that, by following the guidelines presented here, you will become able to achieve much more happiness in your life, not only related to what you wish to attract but in many more other areas as well. Hopefully, you will be much more successful and happy in following what you will learn here, as it is intended to transform you. This book includes some of the most ancient laws about prosperity, but also some of the most recent discoveries about society, humanity, psychology and the concept of visualization. Indeed, there are many studies showing us that there are characteristics common to people that make a lot of money in their life, attract the ideal relationships and succeeded in attracting their goals; and you will understand here that wealth and love are not only related to a certain lifestyle, not only related to possessions, appearance or material goods, or the manipulation of others or your environment, but much more than that, namely, a set of values, from which everything else is added.

In the bible it is said: "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all things will be added to you" (Mattew 6:33); and this quote resumes what this book intends to show you - the righteousness that will shape your mind, transform your soul, and help attract everything else into your life. In other words, wealth and love are mental projections related to how we face the world, how we interpret it and decode it within our mind, how we deal with our challenges, and so on. When you study the paradigms that shape humanity, you are studying it from a huge variety of perspectives, most of which we tend to call sciences, for lack of a better and more profound meaning, even thought the different religious perspectives we have today are sciences in themselves too. And so, the conquest of ourselves, made by getting to know all of these perspectives, one by one, allows to eventually comprehend that wealth, love and wisdom are part of a state of mind; and it's a state of mind that you cannot create but a state of mind that you must absorb in order to apply in your daily routines. In psychology it is known as cognition, from the latin cognoscere, to know; but the meaning of this process goes far beyond the mental capacity of your brain, and it is better described by Plato when he says, through a variety of publications, the following: "To learn is to turn your attention into that which is the most enlightening within you, that which we call good... it is an opportunity and a path for spiritual progress, which transcends humanity and reaches for the divine - the kingdom of the gods."

Such a process of alchemical transmutation requires then a precise attitude, from which we can truly visualize the bridges between the visible and the invisible. It is from that moment on that we can see things that the vast majority of society cannot even comprehend. For they, the majority, are the living dead, that so many scriptures allegorically talk about - def, blind and soulless in their ignorance. They are part of what we call the world of illusions, through which we must, with our inner light, be guided towards the opportunities that allow to transcend it, in order to release ourselves from such spiritual prison. This process requires a refinement of our values, through the self-analysis of their true worth, and such is the study that this book proposes you, if you dare to embrace such quest, if you truly desire salvation. This book will certainly change the way you perceive everything you ever learned during your entire existence.

# Law Nr.1 - Master Your Chaos

You have probably watched the 'Matrix' or other movies that refer to parallel realities or at least movies that mention people being imprisoned somehow in a certain mental state, perfectly described by Plato in his allegory of the cave. While this is the condition of the majority of the society today, most people still tend to assume that what they believe is the norm, a static to their senses.

Such mental state has been numerous times explored and studied in psychology. It is commonly attributed to the fear of self-analysis, and the perception of survival as a mechanism of interpretation of the masses, which is the same as to say that people do what they see others doing. And you can take this to the extreme, as many experiments have shown us that humans constantly deny their own reality in order to subject themselves to the will of a group. It doesn't require you a big set of observations to conclude that most people are asleep, sharing a common illusion that they perceive and defend as being real, as if they were all mere sheep, or simply braindead.

In certain religions, this condition is known in a metaphorical way, because few can confront this reality while studying it, even when they think they can. As a matter of fact, Buddha, or let's say, the first Buddha that we know of, as being the founder of Buddhism, talked extensively about this illusion. He didn't necessarily talked about wealth, but he was from a very wealthy family of his time. He perfectly understood what illusion was because he came from a world that was far beyond that. And when he had to face reality, i.e., the suffering of others, he understood that they were suffering because they were imprisoned in their own mind, their delusional beliefs or illusions.

Nothing has changed since then in what regards our nature. What Siddhartha Gautama had to do for the ones suffering, consisted in showing them a spiritual path, and this path turned into a religion, which is still only fully understood by a few today, who can see its purpose beyond sitting still and denying thought.

If psychology, which started as the study of the subconscious mind, has turned into nothing more than a toy shop of perceptions for two individuals - the patient and the therapist, to play with; buddhism, as many other similar religions, have turned into the exploration of void, to escape a world that such practitioners are too infantile to accept. A kindergarten for adults, in which they are allowed to spend time coloring books would probably be a better option. We could call it art therapy to be less judgemental.

The truth is that the path of Buddhism, as a way to conquer our illusions, has many layers. One of them is wealth. And so, we cannot say that wealth and spirituality are separated. As a matter of fact, the wealthier you are, the more opportunities you have; opportunities to learn, opportunities to read, opportunities to travel, to discover, to rediscover yourself and to understand more about life and your nature, about others and their motivations, about humanity and its true state, and about the planet as a whole. Moreover, when you understand spirituality, you are wealthy; but we cannot say that wealth is within it, for wealth is found both inwards and outwards - wealth is inside of you and outside of you.

When Lao Tzu talked about yin and yang he was actually referring to this duality in reality; a duality that manifests not only like a kind of spiritual dance, between the inside and the outside, force and weakness, the illusion and the reality, but also between the material world and the spiritual world. Basically, if you have more yin, you have more yang, and vice-versa. You need the opposite to complete yourself and balance is ipso facto the ability in not refusing one part of this duality; it is the ability to balance the duality in your daily life. What this means is that, if you have more money, you will have more difficulties, and more challenges too. There will be different challenges than the ones you had when not having enough, but this yin and yang are still present, reason why with more wealth comes more responsibility, and the need for a higher level of self-control and discipline. You cannot obtain more with the same level of discipline that kept you poor.

It is not a coincidence when people win the lottery or some other big award in money, or even an inherence from a family member that is beyond their means, beyond what they are used to posses in their daily life, and typically lose it. They lose it because their concept of purposeful wealth is very poor; they do not understand the spiritual side that is present in possessing wealth; and therefore, what happens is that, when they possess too much of the material side, their spiritual side goes out of balance, their discipline is more challenged, and as they are not ready to have so much, they lose it faster. Furthermore, people who are not comfortable in possessing wealth tend to want to spend it; they actively seek for opportunities to spend it quickly. It is how their brain is wired to respond to excess - they get rid of it as you would get rid of smelly trash. And the opposite also occurs, as they always tend to find excuses for the poor and the crazy, and to embrace ideologies that justify poverty, such as communism.

You can replace wealth by love, to see the same paradigm manifesting, for you cannot build a relationship and keep a family mentally sane, with the mindset and discipline of a teenager.

Our external world will always interfere with our internal world, for better or for worse. They are connected. This is how we tend to want to explain our reality and attach ourselves to theories that, interestingly, always match our beliefs. This is how anarchism became infested with social parasites who believe that anarchy is the slogan of the lazy and the stupid. It is not, but the obsession of the human race to form tribes, leads many to the craziest assumptions and distortions of meanings. This is how feminism went from a movement to liberate women from oppression and became a movement to oppress men instead.

Our instincts, our impulses towards one or another direction in life, have much to tell us about our nature. An author named Larry Flynn said: "Once I began following my own instincts, sales took off and I became a millionaire." And the reason why he said this, is that he understood the spiritual realm that exists beyond wealth as a physical process. When he started following his own instincts, what he actually did was trusting himself to the spiritual world, his vision. He understood that in this world there is a certain logic, a certain amount of laws that may not match the laws of the physical world, but are much stronger and more meaningful than the ones of the physical world, as the spiritual world commands the material world. In the material world we can adjust things, but this is the world of illusions. The real world is the world that exists beyond this illusion, the one which blends with our desires, fears and inner changes. And this world is commanded by our self-discipline, our awareness of our true mental state.

I have lost hundreds of friends during my lifetime, by simply offering them the answers they have sought during an entire existence, spending hundreds and even thousands of dollars in psychiatrists, books, gurus, drugs and public speakers; because what people want and what they are ready to accept is not the same. As a dog chasing his tail, most people spend an entire lifetime seeking for answers they don't want or can't accept, while creating their own problems with the exact same state of mind telling them they need a solution. Among them, the most common problems I have seen, tend to be related to what this book addresses, i.e., spiritual handicaps that most of the planet can't acknowledge or doesn't even know to exit. Here are some of those that I have noticed:

• A God complex: The idea that what you know is supreme and all answers are contained within the small and extremely limited box you call brain; and while doing so, not understanding that you are trapped in a well-organized system of utter stupidity. It is very interesting to see this paradox in such individuals, who consider themselves bright, sons of the school of life, and yet, barely read anything within an entire lifespan;

• A delusional projection of self: The idea that you are smart and perfect, because you can play musical instruments and had the best grades at school, leading you to a wonderful and respectful job today. It is indeed interesting how such individuals always choose the dumbest spouses to deny themselves the responsibility of introspection;

• Unrelated traumas: The inability to accept that dear mommy and dear daddy destroyed your brain for life, with the projection of their fears, wants and reasons unto your mind, therefore creating a filter between your identity and the world you experience, which is certainly different from the one your parents experienced, but that you keep comparing in the same manner; and, in doing so, not understanding how you literally deny yourself opportunities to have different friends, better relationships and more meaning in your existence. For such people, the problem is always outside, in others, in their future relationships and the past ones they have chosen, in the intentions of others they have chosen to associate with, in the betrayal of people without values with whom they've associated with for lack of personal values. All of their traumas, which they keep anxiously collecting into a huge emotional baggage, seem to always be outside themselves.

The limitation of our mind can be compared to the different colors that exist. If you consider the spectrum of vision that we possess (and I must tell you that the physical world, according to quantum physicians, exists only within a certain amount of visible spectrum), you see little. Much, much wider, is the invisible world that we cannot see, but where many more things occur at a vibrational level. It is like perceiving only seven colors in a palette of seven thousand. Still, while not seeing them all, knowing that they exist can change how you perceive your daily experiences.

The representation of Lord Shiva with a third eye, according to Hindu traditions, is a symbol of this perception of the world that humans often can't see for themselves, or even understand. This is the world of energy, atoms, molecules, but also the world of thoughts, the world of ideas and creativity. This world is much bigger than the real world, the world that we can see and in which we manifest with our body. But it can have more impact on the material world; and this is why, if we understand and trust our instincts, very often those instincts will guide us much faster towards our desired goals in our material world.

Which instincts should we trust or not? Not always our instincts are correct. When you decide, in the physical world and with your mind, what you want, and you then start working and moving towards it with your body, with your actions, with your decisions, then this spiritual world has to match what you are already doing; and that's when even your instincts start being more accurate; you start instinctively knowing what you should be doing, simply because you are conscious of what is occurring at a vibrational level within you. And this consciousness gets stronger in you, if you are confident in what you are trying to achieve and your own abilities to get there, i.e., to accept the unknown, to perceive the unexpected, and to embrace previously unthinkable opportunities.

Be the master of your opportunities, by embracing chaos, rejection and failure, and you will know this better than anyone else.

# Law Nr.2 - Let Happiness Guide You

Another law that we must take into consideration is the law of happiness. Our goals must match our emotions because those goals represents the physical world and our emotions represent the spiritual world. Some may describe this as our emotional bank account. Whatever is the term used to explain it, it is relevant to analyze our relation with the physical world, how we feel about wealthy, happy and successful people and their lifestyle, i.e., how we project our emotions towards the reflections of our desires.

Along this path, we may realize that we were fed lies that do not match our spiritual nature, namely, that we are happier as freelancers rather than as someone's employee, or that we are happier as housewives or househusbands rather than in pursuing a stressful career. And there's actually nothing wrong about despising money, or common values, if your ideal lifestyle doesn't require much. There are countless stories of millionaires who have abdicated their fortune in other to pursue a more meaningful life. Even King Edward VIII of England abdicated his throne for love.

We may condemn those which we do not understand, but wealth is indeed interrelated with our heart, and only what makes us happy will make us feel wealthy. That is relative to our values, which may change, but find a more profound meaning within our soul.

Generally speaking, we are happy in doing what fulfills us spiritually; and the same thing that fulfills one person may not fulfill another; one child may be very happy in learning how to play a musical instrument, while another child can be very happy in playing football; and the two kids may not be happy in doing the exact same things. When we force one child to do something that such child does not like, that child will be unhappy.

The same applies to our careers. People often say that they don't like what they do, that they do not like their job, but the truth is that they've chosen it. They may say: "No, no, I did not choose my job, I simply applied to several job offers and I was offered this one"; but, well, the truth is that they do not apply to any kind of job; they apply to a certain type of job; and they've applied to jobs that they were willing to have while refusing to apply for jobs they weren't willing to have; and when the opportunity came, it came from the spectrum of possibilities that they have contemplated for themselves, out of their personal values, otherwise they would not even apply or they could have applied but after a while simply quit the job.

As you can see, people may be aware or unaware of their decisions, but they are always responsible for their fate.

Now, what happens when someone is unhappy with his job? Imagine this: the person arrives home frustrated, expresses his frustration to others, to the family, to the spouse, to his or her kids and loses focus (because lack of interest also decreases our focus, our concentration, and eventually our memory too, and that's when we start forgetting things). Then comes anxiety, irritation and more problems, until eventually, everything falls apart, with divorce, sudden accidents, severe illnesses, and so on. The further we go downwards, the bigger the spectrum of problems we encounter. That's why often, you only need one person in your life, to destroy everything you have built for yourself for many years, even decades.

Surely, we want to think that love can conquer everything; it's a beautiful and poetic saying. However, irrational love is always a cover for shared insanity and hate towards oneself. There's no such thing as love combined with unhappiness; that's something we want to tell ourselves, to deny responsibility or fault for unavoidable failures. And sure enough, it's painful to detach from someone we love, even when not loved back, but that's how life forces us to grow.

Can we escape this emotional and social rat wheal? Certainly not! The more unhappy you are with your work, the more prone to failure you are; the less motivated you are, the less you want to do with your time, and so on.

So what do people, who are very unhappy with their job, want to do, when they arrive home and wish to avoid more stress? They watch TV, in order to forget themselves and the day they just had. They want to spend the next hours forgetting the previous eight; and that is what makes them go even deeper into this void of emptiness in which they have put themselves in. Many, and most commonly in current times, smoke cannabis, or take antidepressants. This obsession with "emotional blockers" has become a constant in a world deeply in suffering.

Many people may want to quit their job. I've met many people who want to quit their job and asked me how, and what could they do. Many of them even wanted to work for me. And I'm going to tell you something very interesting that I observed in all of them: People that are very unhappy with their job are bad workers and bad employees in any kind of job, because if they're not motivated to work eight hours a day, why should they be motivated to work for another person for another two hours a day or more?

Many of them delay my work when I offer them the chance to work for me, many of them do very basic mistakes in the things I ask them to do. And I'm paying them. But the only thing they care about is the money. They don't care about the experience, the knowledge,... they don't care about any of those things. They don't even care about my goals. They are only looking at their goal - they want to make money through me and they would like to have what I have, but meanwhile they are neglecting the path to get there, and insulting me by thinking I was lucky and didn't work very hard for many years, before reaching my goals.

This 'working hard' often required finishing toxic relationships and experience loneliness for long periods of time, live in poverty to save money and time to work on a business idea, sacrifice my social life to do more, spend entire days studying and reading books about business, and so on. Such people will never do those things, not even for one entire month, because they can't handle such level of emotional suffering. They aren't capable of diving deep enough within the subconscious of themselves to get the treasures that lie in the very bottom of their soul.

It is very easy to demotivate someone by simply explaining what I have done to reach the lifestyle I have now. They're not willing to go through the same path. Everybody wants to be rich - a millionaire, a billionaire and so on; everybody wants to have everything that comes to their mind, for whatever reason, most of which driven by envy; but very few people are willing to put the efforts to get there. If you tell them: "You have to be a farmer for five years and plant potatoes with your hands before you can be a millionaire"; their first reaction is to try to find an excuse in order not to do what you've asked; they do not want to believe that what you are saying is true. People want easy answers; but these easy answers do not come to them, and when they do, they're not ready to receive them.

A famous millionaire named Tai Lopez, said that laziness should be treated as the worst disease. In a world full of knowledge about everything, with so many books around and everywhere, it is indeed the worst disease. I could tell you about thousands of people to whom I have offered my books, who did not read any of them. So here we have people wanting solutions, many times even begging for them, that receive them for free, and not taking actions to grab those solutions. Nothing could be easier, and yet so far from the unprepared mind.

It is said that when the student is ready, the master appears. But I must add that, nowadays, the master appears to far too many students that will never be ready.

In this highly decadent world, I must also say that the most heartbreaking experience for me, was to offer the wisdom of three secret societies to one person I loved, even offer her hours of my days to do therapy on her, after she begged me to be rescued, from her psychosis, from her demons, and see her taking it all to use it against me, to destroy me, ending up laughing about her deeds while getting drunk with others like her. She begged me for multiple opportunities to become better, to change for me, and in tears, for two years; and all of this, to end up growing more arrogant, more evil, more aggressive; and at the end, to betray me in any way she could, seeking revenge for no other reason than envy. That's spiritual disdain, that's the devil scorning at what is good. And that is why I must tell you to not fall into the trap of helping those who beg for it. Let them perish within the fate they have sown for themselves. Their pledges for mercy are not honest.

There are seven billion people in the world today, nearly eight billion already, and if I put this content for free, how many people do you think will obtain it? A thousand? Two thousand? Three thousand in one month? Even if we contemplate ten thousand in one month or in six months, or one hundred thousand people in one year, this number is still less than one percent of the population of the world; and among which, a large portion will try to stop others from accessing it, by giving public reviews that will dissuade other readers from accessing the book. I have had the worse reviews on books that I have offered, literally, for free.

When people say that only one percent of the population has the wealth of the planet and the rest lives in poverty, they observe only the surface. This is very easy to say and see. It denies responsibility and blames the condition of one on another. And it is insulting to many, stuck within their five senses and dominated by their thoughts and emotions, to acknowledge that they live in poverty by choice - at the very least, because they do not read the thousands of free books waiting in public libraries and online. Certainly not in all cases, but in the civilized world most surely. And I will explain you why: There are many Europeans and North Americans earning less than a $1,000 a month; and could they be making more? Yes, as they only have to go to a coffee shop with free Wi-Fi, borrow someone's computer or even go to a cybercafe, or a local library, and watch a course about money or read a book about themselves and their needs for one hour every day. What could this cost them actually? The two dollars they got while begging? Maybe even nothing. Countless organizations and even random people donate valuable books to libraries every year. And I am one of them. It is really shameful to think that nobody values the library where I offer books that changed my life.

Although the media doesn't show interest on the topic, there are countless stories of beggars who passed exams and graduated from high school and even university, while living on the streets. The media simply isn't interested in sharing such news and that's why we rarely see them. The media is more interested in promoting a degrading image of humanity, with crimes, terrorism and wars, and the normalization of fear; and almost never interested in showing us the real heroes of our world. They are not supermen, spidermen, or wolverines and wonder women, but people who read, learn and change against all odds, against the system and even against the will of many that have turned their face away from helping such souls.

There are many opportunities for people who want to learn and to grow. It is their mindset that keeps them poor; it is their mindset that keeps them blind. Many times the only thing a person needs in order to change is a decision. After a decision is made, such individual starts looking for the opportunities that allow for that decision to become materialized and the opportunity certainly will come. Maybe it won't come exactly as the person wants, but it will always come. Moral conscience guides a master's wisdom.

What would you do, if you had the chance to spend a whole month studying and reading about wealth, money, the law of attraction, spirituality and how all of those books can help you become more wealthy? You see, whenever I had the chance to learn, this is exactly what I did; I could spend the whole day reading. As a matter of fact, when I travel, I spend most of my time reading and not necessarily enjoying my time, or acting like a tourist. But how many people do this? Very few people I know would do this.

# Law Nr.3 - Respect Yourself First

One author called Dan Millman said: "Money is neither my God, nor my devil. It is a form of energy that tends to make us more of who we already are".

Money is indeed energy, and this energy can come stronger or weaker to your life, but it is always present.

Sometimes, when a chance appears, I talk to beggars on the streets. The first thing I do, is to give them more than what they expect to receive. So, if I see them receiving cents, I give them much more than that. In countries like Spain, France or England, they don't get much; they get maybe the equivalent to one euro per person and quite often less than that. If I come with €10 and I offer this €10 note to each of the beggars, some of them look at my face surprised; and the ones who do, are the ones who have a chance to talk to me. The ones who ignore the person giving them more money, pass me the message that they don't care about what happened to them, that they are not ready to listen to me, and that they don't want to change their situation.

Now, when I have the chance to talk to those who have acknowledged what I did, sometimes I tell them that I make less than that in one book sale and they get surprised and ask me how I make a living. I explain that I make many sales every month. And this surprises them, because what it means is that I collect many two dollars and they collect less than me. I basically teach them that poverty is just a state of mind and they do understand this, by looking at the comparison between me and them. One homeless even once told me as a reply: "You know, my situation at the moment, is temporary; I will eventually get out of it". And I replied back: "Yes, you will". Indeed, the situation in which he was, was temporary, but time was just as temporary as his thoughts.

Time is an illusion and it changes with our decisions. We can be faster, we can be slower, we can change or we may never change. If someone says that his situation is temporary, then his situation is temporary. If he says the opposite, then the opposite is also true. As Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right."

Scientologists have a similar saying, adopted from their founder, L. Ron Hubbard: "What is true, is what is true for you". And what this means is that you create your own reality. If you are a psychotic, you will fabricate problems instead of solutions, and disagreements instead of agreements; if you are sane, you will seek to develop yourself and help whoever associates with you.

Along this line, whatever we believe, matches what we say, which then matches what we do; and we tend to behave according to how we think. Thinking, believing, doing, and saying - all of these things are related; so the more we work with these elements combined in a proper manner, the faster we achieve our goals. The question is: "What is a proper manner?" This is the eternal quest of the human race, and the most sought apprehension of the wisest philosophers and spiritual leaders for thousands of years.

We did get and keep getting our shortcuts through visitors from other galaxies, who have passed far beyond this stage, as well as visionaries, channelers and prophets. And yet, we also have an equal amount of degenerated psychotics inventing stories that never existed, to keep humanity in its natural state of confusion.

Most people have absolutely no clue to what aliens would have said if they encountered humans, and proving this statement are religious organizations based on absolute lies and attracting millions of followers, which in many cases give their lives, and their mind to such groups, allowing themselves to be mentally and spiritually raped, as well as physical in many cases, in the name of faith. I am talking here about the Raelians and the Mormons, although such cases are abundant, and we never cease having new self-proclaimed new age prophets. Social media has made the life of countless lunatics much easier than ever before. We never had so much wisdom and so much craziness at the exact same time and found in the exact same places.

There is such an amount of imbecility on this planet, that even I refuse to be known as a prophet, for the simple fact that once that occurs, I will spend most of my time cleaning the disgusting mess created by all the lunatics on the planet, rather than focusing on transmitting the truth. My books are clear enough for that purpose. And it is suffice to say that the most important religious organizations on earth trust me entirely when asking for my opinion on their work. That would not happen unless they saw me as above them, despite my personal challenges. For I may not be perfect, but according to them, have far beyond transcended the state of what is called "human."

The truth is that I have never fit the description of "human", but this is a topic for another book. This said, I believe I am qualified enough to tell you the following: The common trait to any state of spiritual evolution consists first, and foremost, in being honest with our own attitude towards life. That is sanity, that is congruence, and that is also stability along a clear path that moves upwards, no matter what the physical world may show you to contradict this statement. Because, surely enough, as soon as you embrace a life of honesty, many people will start moving away from your reality, you may even face problems at work, and go into an emotional crisis. And yet, it is only once you go through this turmoil of chaos, that you will see the sun after the storm - your real self, and from which you can truly evolve as a human being.

We often talk about what we want to achieve, and this is how we go somewhere in life; by saying, doing, and thinking accordingly. But for this you need an awareness, through moral principles, which you gain with an ethical attitude towards your condition. The gap between what we want and what we achieve, confused by some with laziness, and by others with procrastination, is nothing more than an unethical attitude towards life. On the lowest end of this social spectrum, we find the criminal, the thief, the liar, the psychopath and the sociopath. They, as many others, found within that group pending between mental disorders and antisocial behaviors, represent the extreme on the consequences of being an irresponsible human being.

How many people say: "My situation is temporary"? How many people are frustrated with their lifestyle? Most people I know are actually trying to do the opposite; they are trying to think positive. And what does it mean to think positive? That, exactly that - to accept.

Should you think positive of your life, when you have nothing to enjoy in it? Most people would say: "But I have friends and I have a house, and I have a job...". Well, if you think positively, because you have these things, then why do you hate your job so much? Why do you want to change country? Why do you want to change your lifestyle? Contradicting oneself and hiding such contradiction behind excuses is being dishonest with oneself, more than with others.

If people are happy, they do not have to think positive, because they are already being positive. If they have to think positively, they are forcing themselves to accept something that they actually shouldn't. So what are they actually doing? They are suppressing their anger, their frustration and their envy. And every time they go on social media and see someone else traveling, owning a new car, getting a better job, and doing better in life, these monsters inside of them get fed, and grow hungrier, and such people become more bitter and eventually also become very toxic and nasty. Their intention shifts from wanting to do something with their life, which they won't anymore, to bringing others down and doing their best to keep them from achieving their goals, any goals, just to feel satisfied.

As horrible as it may seem, confronting the truth will do much more for you than any premonition or fortunetelling, because you will never see what you're not ready to see. Yes, it is hard to admit that your best friends want to see you fail, but also logic to admit it, when you can see that they come from a position of anger and resentfulness; emotions and thoughts which they've accepted within themselves after giving up on themselves and accepting their own defeated state of living. And it may sound shocking and cruel to many, how easily I detach myself from people that I've known for many years, even family members, but I need to do this to protect myself, as I would if they had a deadly contagious disease, because this is what their selfishness is.

I do not need tarot cards or any other method of fortunetelling to get into people's mind, if I can simply have access to their attitudes. But let me give you a very obvious example: In one of my relationships, my girlfriend was so proud to have me, that she wanted to present me to her best friends. That's when I met Samantha and her boyfriend. In just minutes of talking to both, it was clear to me that he saw my girlfriend as a replacement, and that this Samantha was more interested in me than on what she had by her side. Now, obviously, when I said this to my girlfriend, and her other friends, everyone thought I had lost my mind, and was assuming too much about people I had just met. After all, they all knew each other for many years already. Who am I to judge people I had just met, right? Well, I pride myself of not making judgements until I know I am 100% correct, and certainly, having telepathic abilities, apart from knowing how to analyze the mental state of someone, gives me a big push towards that direction. And so, naturally, we had many fights because of those two, until I decided that this girlfriend was too stupid to be in my life, and it would be much better to be alone or marry someone else instead. However, only two years later, the truth I always knew came to the surface. Even though I never encountered this Samantha ever again, she kept calling me, trying to meet me in private, and inviting me out to spend time with her. And as she failed, she said to that former girlfriend that the opposite occurred; she said that I was the one calling her and stalking her. And why? Because her relationship of many years was collapsing (if it ever was stable). And obviously, that guy saw in my girlfriend, that was always going out with them and spending time in their apartment, the ideal replacement. As the guy couldn't get any of them, he ended up acting like a coward, and calling Samantha's parents, in order to ask them to force her to marry him. Prehistoric and cowardly, right? But what else to expect from a desperate man?

He thought that marriage would keep her locked with him. A natural assumption for someone with a prehistoric brain. But he was wrong. Samantha decided to spend her time traveling and sleeping with other men instead and for longer periods of time abroad than before. And that, let's say, is Samantha's little dirty secret, that she will keep forever for herself until she dies and take beyond her grave, or for as long as she can keep doing this in secret at least; an easy task when far beyond the borders of a country. She has the personality trait of someone with severe mental disorders; she's a pervert with sexual addictions; an ideal woman to an immature man that doesn't know what awaits him once he realizes he has been cheated for many years, with many men, and is then forced to divorce her or live the rest of his life in utter shame.

The point I want to make with this degrading but very common story, is that it's impossible to make people admit they were wrong after it doesn't matter anymore. Most people live within a selfish spectrum of reality. And that's why we always need to make the right decision while we have time for it, and not when it is too late. As I said to that woman who introduced me Samantha and her future husband: "If you can't create priorities in life and put me first, ahead of your friends, then there's no reason for me to put you first, ahead of what I know about them."

May this be a lesson to you as well; for thoughts and beliefs move the world; but you should never want to be associated with someone who possesses a poor concept of moral and reality, either friends or companions or future spouses. Everything is relative to our expectations but nothing excuses lack of maturity and proper reasoning.

# Law Nr.4 - Be Honest With Your Values

In psychology, it is known that whenever you suppress anger, it turns into depression and that is why a high percentage of people are depressed, that's why antidepressants keep selling more and more every year; because people want to think positively and suppress their anger instead of feeling angry for their ignorance and their lifestyle and do something about it to improve their life. This is the first stage of change - you have to be unhappy with your situation; otherwise, if you're satisfied with what you have, why should you desire any change?

There's no need to change when you force yourself to belief that you are ok as you are. This type of philosophy contradicts everything that made psychology useful, and positions humanity at an insane level, expanding the normalization of psychosis, neurosis, and narcissism, into a generalized antisocial behavior, instead of fighting it. It is as if we were increasing the boundaries of our psychiatric hospitals and including everyone in them, rather than actually making anyone normal. Or maybe this is a normal consequence of decades and decades of failure after failure inside the psychiatric industry and their lobbies from which the pharmaceutical industry profits the most. Whatsoever is this case, let us not forget that Sigmund Freud stated the following about negative emotions: "Repressed emotions do not die. They are silenced. But they continue to affect the person."

There's nothing to change when you are happy, but there's a lot to change when you're not happy. Thus, you change what you don't like, but you have to be aware of it first.

Regarding this topic still, sometimes people ask me if I believe people can change. In theory, the possibility does exist; but if you ask me if I know many people who have changed, sadly, I would have to tell you that I don't. The amount of energy required to conquer dramatic changes is such, that you always need qualified help to get there, even if from the hands of a good author.

I am proud to have received many messages from readers saying that I have changed their life, because I know that a book in itself can't do much, if the author is just spitting his ego out through his words and doesn't truly understand the fundamental laws of life. And so, I can proudly tell you that many of my readers change their life, at least this is what many tell me; and I do believe the reason why they change so much, is due to the fact that they have decided to change in the moment they decided to buy my books and trust me when applying my recommendations.

You cannot force a change on a person; a change has to come from within the core of the personality, from the will within our heart; and a person has to honestly decide to change first. Then, through me or other authors, my books, other books, or courses, or any other form of knowledge, a person will achieve what he or she has proposed himself or herself to achieve. But the opposite also happens, as to my surprise, those who have been forced to change against their inner will, attracted the worse psychologists, the worse religious members, and obviously, the worse advice too. In most cases, they got more reasons not to change themselves.

This is only natural, for anyone seeking resistance, will most likely seek those and attract those who can reinforce it, through suggestions and recommendations, which is exactly what many therapists should never do, but due to their egotistical obsession with their narcissistic image of self-importance end up doing, therefore destroying furthermore those who sought them and paid for their service in order to be helped. As a matter of fact, the perversion of having to pay for help, is precisely what makes many psychologists and psychiatrists delay and deny such help.

If money rules the world, ethics and truth become a luxury of a few, and segregated by the many, desperate for survival and social acceptance, under the section of mythology. For this reason, changes are always the forefront of an attitude, a why with a personal meaningful reason. And this attitude won't appear if such individual is happy with his present condition. The two states of mind contradict one another, and that's why people often contradict themselves, when wanting something and doing the exact opposite.

Quite often, people are so immersed in contradictory habits and attitudes, that they can't even see themselves failing on purpose. That, for example, is the case when someone tells me that she wants to be rich but can't afford a $3 book, while paying much more than that for a sandwich that she eats in front of me when saying it. The same applies to those who think that I should give them my books for free. What they are actually saying, with those attitudes, is that their life is not worth $3, or one day of savings. They are basically saying that they don't value what I have to offer them and want answers that they have no interest in accepting.

It doesn't make any sense, but this is how most people live. And then they think that they suffer from depression, lack of money and relationship issues. No, they all suffer from stupidity and irresponsibility. And yet, they can't see that, not until they solve a layer greater than that, which comes in the form of selfishness and lack of ethics.

There's no point on educating humanity, if we don't promote first the development of moral attitudes, communication and a better understanding of ourselves. Immoral individuals should not even be among us. The world requires empathy. And the lack of it, in the form of selfish stupidity, leads us to think that competitive behaviors are the forefront of evolution, while in fact they represent the opposite of it.

Let us not blame our executioners after we praise them for long enough for doing what they do unto others, to be who they are and act as they do. The psychopaths of today, wherever they are, from prisons to banks and politics, have more to tell us about our nature than theirs. And it is with no surprise that, if highly intelligent alien beings are watching us, their most prominent focus of attention is on our level of empathy for one another, for without that evolution will never occur. On the contrary, the need for self-preservation in the form of wars so devastating that they annihilate entire civilizations and countries, and can even self-destroy the entire human race, is the lowest level in the lack of empathy present among the vast majority of the human race.

This constant predisposition for global war due to low levels of empathy among humans, can be seen in our relationships. I find it very intriguing, for example, when selfish women, jealous of the relationships of their female friends, with low self-esteem, and a complete lack of interest in becoming better human beings, go to a psychologist to talk about relationship issues. It's also amusing, because they actually believe that all the problems they have, are outside of them. It is even more amusing, when they encounter one of the many imbeciles playing the role of psychologist, holding a certificate of mental health like a criminal psychopath holds a knife that he feels entitled to use on others, and such degrading representation of humanity tells them that nothing is wrong with them, because they just need to be themselves, get more confidence, and do what they want and feel free about it, because the cause is actually outside, in their parents, the teddy bear their older brother murdered by reaping the head off, or the slap in the face they got after disappearing from the house to go on a promiscuous sex rant with some stranger they found when drunk at a bar.

It is also very interesting to see a narcissist obsessed with books about relationships while avoiding, like a demon runs from the cross, all books related to narcissistic personality disorder, because, well, that's exactly what makes a person a narcissist - lack of capacity to process blame, guilt or shame. It is then with no surprise that so many books on positive thinking sell so well, and mine will only be seen as valuable by a social elite, mostly composed of physicians, artists and entrepreneurs. The vast majority of humanity is not ready to accept responsibility and will always choose options that, basically, allow them to be irresponsible. And it is very easy to write a book about it. All you need to do is write everything a person should be doing, based on common sense, and then blame someone else for it. For example, you don't say "face your problems", but rather "think positive" and the problems will miraculously vanish. You don't say "you have mental issues to overcome" but instead "you are empathic and overemotional" and it is ok to be like that, for there is nothing wrong with you. And you don't say "you will never succeed as you are" but rather "be yourself and dump those who can't accept you", even if you end up unemployed and lonely for the rest of your life.

These same irresponsible and greedy authors, many of whom with college degrees on psychology and psychiatry, won't add "dump all those who think you are immature, irresponsible, abusive, insulting and selfish", but that's basically what the message underneath their words portrays. And it doesn't surprise me that so many of such authors claim to write under the spell of God or Jesus, and even entitle their books as if such was the case, for they can't even admit the demonic influence over them, or tell the difference anyway. I could say that they are merely delusional, if I could not identity a clear spiritual trap within their books, into which all who read fall like rats under the spell of smelly cheese. Such is the case of books like "The Power of Now" or "The Secret". But I have also come to personally meet many public speakers, that go on TV or a podium in their religious congregation, to promote ideologies that do a great harm to those who listen and believe. Many of them, took advantage of my knowledge and private conversations, to pervert their message furthermore, instead of simply inviting me to do the speaking or learning from me. They were not interested in learning anything; because they are obsessed with their egotistical view on reality, the perverted energy that the demon within them makes them feel. They are addicted to this type of attention, like a drug addict, and they can play many social masks, to prey on the ones who can give them exactly that. Their ignorance is camouflaged by an aura of sanctity that they carefully learn to craft by using those who surround them and trust them.

In reality, all the people I know who have truly changed, started with the assumption of being unhappy with what they had; and after that, they actually decided to make an effort to go forward in their life. Only once they decided to make a change, has this change started, i.e., when they started to honestly learn and accept their need for a new life. Sometimes the only necessary action is the pressing of a button, for as you know, numerous books and courses are free; but few people press that button, called 'download', or 'play', or 'add to cart'. From those who do, few will read, listen and learn. Again, we come to a 1% rule - few people put efforts to change their life. Fewer people will even want the most truthful answers that can transform them and their existence on Earth, for those answers conflict with their most sacred values, their sense of self.

The most asked question, when I push reality unto such a person is: "If all I believe is a lie, who am I?"

As you can imagine, it is a scaring thought, to believe that everything we assumed as true is false. And yet, it is more scary to go through life trying to make the false become true. And this is exactly what most people do.

Even when I offer courses for free, I get curious about how many people finished the courses, and I notice that very few do. And among those who do, not all of them find what they expected, as they did not know what they were looking for. Many people want an instructor or a teacher that fulfills their expectations, and when the expectations are not fulfilled, they blame the teacher instead of blaming themselves. That's quite interesting, because if a teacher has to speak what you already know, and reinforce your old beliefs, why should you even learn?

A speaker is supposed to teach you something you don't know, something you're not ready to accept even, something you may disagree with; because only through disagreement and inner conflict, only through this duality, you can find yourself in the reflection of yourself, and which demands a change in you. If everything you see in the reflection in front of you matches what you already expected to see, there's no need for a change. It is like waking up in the morning with your hair perfectly combed and having someone telling you that it isn't.

This is why I have to tell you that the many out there telling you that you are perfect and beautiful and all you need is to believe that, are liars. And if they believe in their own words, delusional psychos most likely too. And it's with no surprise when, once they get more power, all that narcissism comes out, in the form of promiscuity, scams and other highly immoral behaviors. As a matter of fact, the most truthful, useful and honest speakers, I have ever encountered on social media, have such a low quantity of followers, that they tend to disappear rather quickly as well. When they don't, they are forced to, with the many attacks they get from the majority that can't handle their words, like children shouting repeatedly at an adult: "It's not true".

Moreover, one of the most interesting things I have noticed in the latest years is that the most popular speakers, considered enlightened by many, are doing nothing more than expressing common sense, and telling people how to think. Because, sadly, society has lowered itself so much, that now to find someone who can think effectively is considered a rare and divine thing. One of such personalities, known as Sadhguru, is indeed a very wise man, with thousands of followers, and yet, all he does is teach you how to think.

Our world is in such a state of spiritual degradation, that now, our most enlightened human beings, are basically those who can think for themselves and say logical things that everyone should know, i.e., people with common sense, that is not common anymore.

Our society is so obsessed now with "feeling good" that it can't perceive the fact that many of the people feeding it with such emotions, people who please others with what they say, are not doing any favor to anyone, but on the contrary, favoring a mental retrocess, an unnatural and immature stagnation. Those individuals, often presented as authors, public speakers and coaches, are maintaining you where you are. And you don't want people who do that, you don't want people who make you happy with who you are and what you have. You want people who make you angry when you should be, who make you want to change what needs a change, people who, basically, help you understand what it means to be human, and not just a "get high all the time" addict; because that is when your life starts moving forward and that is also when you begin to transform yourself into someone new - the person you should become; not the person you were. And you want to change; because, if you didn't want, why would you even learn something that can help you change?

This contradiction is always present and the more you realize it, the easier it is for you to reach your goals. In other words, you need to understand that you are not being honest with yourself, when trying to achieve a goal but expecting something from it that contradicts your most realistic inner intentions. If you say "I would like to be rich", but you expect to be rich in a certain way, you're not being honest; but if you say "I would like to be rich in order to help people, to give more to my parents, to my family, to enjoy life more than now", then that is a better outcome, more meaningful too; because here you are explaining the motives for which you want to achieve wealth. And as these motives become more realistic and meaningful to you, responsibility also increases in the process, forcing you to alchemically change yourself and, as a result, also your attitude towards the world.

# Law Nr.5 - Have Faith in Yourself

In the Bible it is said: "We must remind ourselves that the Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants" (Psalm 35:27). In the Bhagavad Gita there is also a similar saying: "All visible things arise from that which is invisible" (6:2). And so, we have two quotes here, one from Christianity and another from Hinduism, telling us the same thing: Everything comes from that which is invisible. In the Bible, this invisible is represented by God, but the Bhagavad Gita merely uses the word invisible. Thus, whoever controls the invisible, controls the visible; either you have a relation with God or merely with the invisible world that represents such invisible paradigm, the same relation between your heart and a higher intelligence permeates your accomplishments. This relation with the invisible, with something higher than you, with other elements outside the material reality, allows much more power to understand how to achieve success, and even love.

None of these books says: "Focus on greatness, hard work and you will be wealthy and achieve whatever you want". It says nothing of this. On the contrary, the books tell you to look at something outside the material world in order to make this same material world come true according to your wishes. In other words, all that is visible comes from the Realm of Thought, which is composed from our personal emotions.

This leads us to another question: Who is this God or what are these invisible things? Both are shown in an order of energy, which is the realm of elements composing such energy, namely, thoughts, emotions, faith, values, hope, believes and, most importantly, purposeful imagination. By purposeful imagination I intend to explain here creativity under will, in which you see within yourself the world exactly as you wish to conquer it within the material realm. That is exactly what it means - your commitment to obtain the reality you envision under the requirements presented to you as tests, lessons and challenges needed to overcome.

All of these things function and are followed according to certain paradigms, certain rules, most of which are commanded, above all, by inner belief, your subconscious perception of the world. It is with the filter of belief that you make your decisions, that you make conclusions, and that you define your fate, and also, by the same filter that you become predictable and your destiny visible to anyone with the capacity to do so.

Whenever a fortuneteller talks about your future, he or she is talking about beliefs; and referring to the likelihood of something to manifest according to your subconscious mind. And whenever you trust and even expect such destiny to manifest, you are giving power to that subconscious mind, you are applying your own will and responsibility or capacity to imagine. That is the reason why those who trust fate are often perceived as stupid. Stupidity is the ultimate consequence of being irresponsible over your own actions. The naive, the immature, and the hopeful are all stupid. And when you visit a congregation of religious people, and notice that some are bright while others are very dumb, you can see that the difference between both groups can be resumed to these patterns, for one group applies religious faith to do more, while the other to expect more. It's, fundamentally, the difference between those who want to save the world, and those who wish to be saved while rejoicing on the end of humanity.

Now, at a fundamental level, a belief does not belong to the physical world, but you always apply it according to what you know from that same world. That paradox places you between the known within your mind, and the faith within your spirit. And obviously, those who deny the spirit, can only operate from the known within their mind. They are victims of their own limiting beliefs.

Although knowledge comes from the physical world, comprehension and apprehension do not. Both are bridged by the soul in its interference on the physical plane. And the most obvious evidence of this fact, comes in the form of translations. People always translate according to their inner spiritual world. And that is why I tend to avoid giving my books to whomsoever wishes to translate them, either while getting paid or on a voluntary basis. To say that they do obvious mistakes is to underestimate their spiritual nature. For I don't believe in accidents when someone translates "knowledge comes from the physical world" with "knowledge comes from the spiritual world". Yes, it comes from the spiritual world when you are possessed by a demon, or channeling spirits in general, but not when you are perfectly aware of your actions and decisions, and even at that moment. And I confirm this when the same person translates the biblical quote "The Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servants" with "The Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of the serpent".

We then wonder why the world is the way it is. People say: "I can't change the world" but everyone is certainly contributing for the one we now have, each one in a peculiar way, fully creative in the most distorted sense of the application of this word.

I just wonder why, for example, this last translation had serpent on it, and not squirrel, giraffe, pig or hippopotamus. No, it had to be the serpent. Every single time I allow anyone, apparently normal, to work with me on translations, especially those who insist on it, this is what happens - their spiritual nature becomes too obvious to be neglected, and I end up spending more time correcting their atrocities than if I was doing the translation myself.

Obviously you can learn from what was written, or even mistranslated, when having the capacity to think properly and critically over what you get, but knowledge in the form of comprehension and awareness is something that cannot be measured, is something you possess and cannot be taken away from you, and therefore, it is not of the material world. Other things, which do not belong to the material world are ideas; you also acquire them through your life experience; but you ultimately manifest them within yourself according to a certain attitude towards life, and from which a faith is required at the very least, for them to be attracted towards your mind like a radio frequency synchronizing with the vibration of the Divine messages sent by above.

Now, let's look specifically at money. If money does not come from the material world, if it comes from the invisible world, then we know that money is part of an illusion. And if we want more money, more wealth in our life, what we must do consists in looking at the spiritual world for what we are missing. For example, do you know that many business owners do not like to work with people who are immoral and irresponsible? And can you measure morality and responsibility? It's very difficult to do that; it's a personal trait, it comes from the invisible. But do you think dishonest people are honest with themselves? They are not. They lie to others, as they lie to themselves, they envision things they never work for and they envy others, they resent others. And that is something invisible. Once can't see envy. But it transmits itself to the visible world as well, because if you are resentful of others, then you will not learn from them; if you envy people, then you will not be their friend. How can you make friendships with those who have what you want if you hate them? Unless you respect them, unless you are honest with them, unless you appreciate them, that doesn't happen. And this is very interesting to notice; for even if I am friendly with people who have much less than me, they often do not want to be associated with me, because my confidence awakens resentment in them, my possibilities fuel frustration in them, my capacity triggers their envy, my energy empowers their arrogance. The more time I spend with these people who are poor in spirit, the more their hate spreads until a point in which I feel insulted and have to leave their life. But I leave their life because they forced me to. I had nothing to lose, and they had plenty to lose, as I represent what they want and cannot have, I awake in them feelings that they have towards themselves. So here you have a contradiction that few are aware of. And they will never be able to have that which is in the hands of those they hate because they can't see how their emotions work against themselves.

Many times, what our reality shows, is that, in a variety of ways, we meet people with capacities, with potentials, with skills, that we would like to have. And yet, at the same time, these individuals have characteristics in their personality that we cannot tolerate and which constitute a challenge to us. But you have to be able to appreciate those who represent the world in which you want to be in order to have what they have, because many times they possess characteristics you should be developing. For example, the rich read, because they know that knowledge helps them acquire more wealth or maintain the wealth they already have. If you like to read, you have a higher potential to acquire wealth. It is not wise to resent someone with more knowledge than you; that is an ignorant thing to do, and yet this is what the ignorant often do - they criticize those who know more than them; and in doing so, they remain in ignorance.

The same thing applies with people who care, enjoy life, who adore their possessions. If you hate someone, who possesses a Lamborghini, but you would like to have one, what does this say about you? That you are a hypocrite. You cannot hate someone, because he possesses something you don't. It is the same as hating yourself, because when you say "this person should not have that", you are also saying "I should not have that". You're basically questioning the motives to why people have some things and others don't; and by doing this, by enforcing your concentration in a certain energy point, it expands. You will see more and more people, who possess Lamborghinis, but have personalities that you don't appreciate, until the Lamborghini basically becomes something you will know you will never have. And yet, that knowing, was entirely produced by your mind.

This is what I mean by the comprehension being a spiritual construct. Those who comprehend the invisible, build rockets that travel to Mars, and invent software that help you in your daily life. They are the ones who own their imagination, and in doing so, own a portion of this material heaven.

If you appreciate their attitude, and as them, say the opposite of the majority, you will get their results too. For that, you need to say something like: "I wish I could see more people like me with Lamborghinis"; then maybe you will and maybe sometimes it will come to you when you least expect; maybe sometimes you are with a group of friends and you see someone that resembles you, and enters a car, and that car is a Lamborghini.

This actually happened to me a couple of times. Once I was walking with my girlfriend and saw a car I really liked and told her: "One day I will have a car like that". She started laughing, because she didn't believe me. And soon after we saw a couple as young as us entering the car, and I told her: "If they can, we can also". And at that moment, she looked at them surprised, and felt forced to agree with me, because indeed I was right. This car in question does not really matter; what actually matters is the potential I was positioning myself into, and that is at the level of what I want to acquire in life. You have to be able to position yourself at the level of what you want to acquire, you have to believe you can have anything, even when others laugh at you.

When I started writing books, almost everyone ridiculed me, and said I could not make a living with books, that very few people can. As a matter of fact, many still say the same to me, which is hilarious at this point in time. And well, that is somehow true. I am one of them now and I wasn't before. I had to build myself into that circle. But I eventually achieved the level that this majority thinks is not possible. But if it's possible for some, why can't I be part of that some? That was the question I asked myself in the beginning and many times: "If some people can be best sellers, why can't I be one as well"?

I always told them it is a matter of time. And it was indeed a matter of time until I eventually entered the best-selling lists with almost all of my books. It took time, but I reached it.

Time is relative, time is a conceptualization, time depends on the person, on the efforts, on life experiences. And sometimes our life experience pulls us backwards and we have to make extra efforts to continue at a normal speed. I also had many life experiences that pulled me backwards and I had to work harder to achieve the level I wanted, but I did got it, and once I did, my sales exploded - they doubled, tripled, and quadrupled. I saw my life improving every single time I applied this mindset.

I did have many people in my life trying to pull me down, but they failed and the only reason why, is because I was persistent with myself. You see, people don't really change their paradigms to fit you in, as that means admitting they were wrong, and they have no reason to do that. On the other hand, very few people that I've met are persistent, very few people are capable of continuing a struggle despite their challenges. The majority quits too easily.

# Law Nr.6 - Let Progress Masquerade as Trouble

There is a quote in the Bhagavad Gita that says: "Those who have seen the boundary between the real and the unreal have acquired all knowledge". But what is this boundary between the real and the unreal? If the real is the material world and the unreal is the spiritual world, then the boundary has to be the connection between both. You see, this boundary is found in your daily life, when you change your attitude and see miracles happening. The boundary is you; you are the boundary, you are the element in which the spiritual and the material interfere, intersect and manifest. Throughout the filters of your mind, which are composed of beliefs and expectations, for good and for worse, your spiritual world is represented; but also through the same process, your material world is manifested.

In you, everything happens; and the center of these events is your heart, your emotions; you instinctively know what makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad; and, well, what makes you feel good, is good for you, and what makes you feel bad, will be eventually bad for you too. The boundary between the spiritual and the material worlds is seen in your heart and you can see what is good or bad, what is going well or wrong with your life, by looking at your emotions. When you don't feel good about your situation at present, then your situation is not good, and requires a change. And whenever changes are counterintuitive, you must aware of beliefs working against you.

Sometimes people wonder: "If everything is well in my life, why do I feel so sad?" That reason finds answers in the spiritual world, which may conflict with their mental world. If you have everything you think you need, but you're not happy, it simply means that your spirit is not evolving; something is not being acknowledged. And if your spirit is not evolving, then your emotions will represent exactly that, and its form comes as unhappiness. Indeed, you find the miracles in these boundaries and that is where all the knowledge is found as well. Hinduism teaches us through that quote, that when you look at the boundary between the two worlds, you find the answers you need; and the reason why people feel unhappy when they possess the things they think they need, is because this unhappiness is pushing them to go higher in life and develop a higher consciousness. And that simply doesn't occur if you are projecting a perfect representation of your soul. In fact, it can't ever occur, because the outside world is constantly pushing a conflict towards you, in order for you to move forward and upward. Ultimately, you will never be complete until you accept an equal responsibility over the world itself. That's why the sense of perfection is always a self-delusional state of arrogance. You can't be a leader of fools unless you are a fool yourself. Simply because when you recognize what I've just said in yourself, you will lose your army of followers.

Humans are conditioned to believe and follow a lie; that's how they've been programmed, so that they could easily be enslaved by anyone who takes power. It is convenient that things work this way. And so, in order to break free from this program, you need to break free with your own mental programming - the idea that you will or can be perfect, or that you need admiration and recognition. That's something I don't expect to easily see in highly enslaved cultures like the European and the Chinese. People from these two areas of the world are too easily deceived. They do not know how to use their heart, and if they had none, they would probably not even notice the difference. And yet, we also see the most devastating cults in many other societies, either they are more unified, like the Japanese, or more multicultural, as the North American.

Now, if that which represents you, represents your projections to the outside world, and as a result, everything that you attract from such world, then the bridge is fundamentally composed by your values, either you excuse them with your cultural background or simply ignorance.

On the other hand, it is perfectly normal that someone with a higher potential may always be unhappy, because a person that has a very high potential has to keep going forward and improving himself to match his or her also high expectations. That's why so many women with college degrees find it so hard to meet someone to truly love. If more women than men obtain college degrees, then the gap in intelligence, culture and salary, will always create a gap in expectations that is highly unfavorable on both sides. And this, despite what may explain it, is just the most visible aspect of this inequality being seen today. You will see it even more when trying to contrast cultural norms and traditions, no matter how dumb and illogical they might seem. It still happens to me when I tell people that I make money working online, especially in Europe, where the Internet is still considered a form of wasting time talking nonsense with a bunch of people and sharing selfies. But let us not fool ourselves, because for as long as the color of the skin sill determines how one is treated by others, we need to seriously question ourselves on what can even be expected from society.

The stupidity of the masses is seen on both poles. Because, you see, sometimes people say to me: "Well, if you know so much, if you can do so much, why don't you just take a rest?". They don't know that this thought, this idea, is incompatible with the laws of the spiritual world; for if you know more than most, you can't be content with just anything; if you know more, you want to experience more, and you want to live more. It is perfectly normal, when people are ambitious and want to achieve more in life, that they also work harder to achieve even more. That's why billionaires like Dan Peña still work all day long and want to do bungee jumping at 73yo. There's no better example of high performance than what you see in this man. He is true to his nature. And yet, he is also humble enough to admit that he created it, while deservingly proud to have it.

This law also shows itself in the poor, as when people have less, they possess less motivation as well, but also more inner conflicts.

Surely, many times what you need, to push yourself forward in life, is basically motivation, it's a certain will to change, a certain dissatisfaction with your condition; and that is also where the boundary is found - in your own heart. When you look at your heart, you notice that there is a need for change, and then you start working towards this change; and when you work for the change to occur, that is when the knowledge manifests, as you literally start looking for it and paying attention to those who have it. As Elon Musk said and very well: "The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur."

Alexander the Great, said something similar: "There is nothing impossible for him who will try." In other words, as you know what you want, you know what you need and you start searching for it, and so the knowledge comes to your life in the same proportion. Sometimes it comes through people you encounter, sometimes through videos on the Internet; and it doesn't really matter what the source of that knowledge is, for it will come to you when you need it the most, and it will match exactly what you need. But only you know what you need, and if you are aware of it; and awareness comes from a certain dissatisfaction. And so, the dissatisfaction is not the problem, but what you do with it, for if you suppress it, you are creating the conditions for more dissatisfaction, while if you go beyond it, and realize where is this dissatisfaction coming from, then you are looking at your spiritual reflection, you're looking at what you should be changing in reality; and once you operate with your life according to these elements, you will be much happier, but also much more fulfilled, because the two things are related - if you work more towards your spirituality, you will also be happier.

Another interesting aspect that you will start noticing, once you acknowledge what I just said, is that the answers to our most devastating problems and greatest challenges are very often presented by those whom we would assume to be the less likely to have them. That's exactly how God tests our willingness to change. What better way than this to test how humble we are? And what better way there is to see the contrasts in our life, between our identity and our projection? Some of the most important moments in my life, where redirected after I got advice from people I never imagined to have it:

• When I felt stuck in the south of Spain, a child, son of a friend of mine, said: "You have to let yourself go". And so I did, and that's how I ended up writing more books and finding love in a relationship with someone nearly twenty years younger than me;

• When I felt stuck in the north of China, a young student, sit next to me when I was alone in the playground thinking about my life, and analyzing my options, and said: "Have you ever thought about asking the Embassy for help?" But why should the embassy help me? I thought. But well, for whatsoever was the reason, it did, and that's how I landed a work opportunity of only three working hours a week with the highest salary I ever had. I could not believe it;

• Those who have hurt me the most, also gave me the most important life lessons. One of which, that I will never forget, came in a sentence I will never forget: "It is your fault if you choose to believe what I say and accept me back." The Dalai Lama resumed this perspective well, when he said that, "In the practice of compassion and tolerance, the one you consider your enemy is your best spiritual teacher", for the word enemy here, can be replaced by "the one you least expect to help you", as compassion is not only attributed towards what we do unto others, but also in regards to what we do with ourselves. "You are your greatest asset" (Tom Hopkins); "Every man, before he can be a true friend to the world, must first become a friend to himself" (L. Ron Hubbard).

Most people measure their self-worth and performance or potential based on how much money they can make, because, sadly, we are programmed to see ourselves in this way, especially now, in a world completely immersed on the need to make more and spend more.

What such people forget, when doing so, is that money is just the result of effective hard work and right thinking. It is at the end of your journey; not at the beginning. If anyone could go from nothing to plenty in just a couple of days, what a wonderful and crazy world this would be. Because, you see, there is a certain order to things, a certain mechanic that must be understood, before money appears. At the very least, you can't make a thousand dollars until you learn how to make ten dollars, and you can't make a hundred dollars in one year until you learn how to make a thousand in one month.

When I got paid thirty dollars from five years of selling books, I was extremely happy; but all my friends thought I was insane, for still writing and expecting to go anywhere in life with that. When I started making one hundred dollars a month by selling books online, people still thought I was insane, and tried to stop me, by explaining to me that with one hundred dollars I couldn't even afford to rent a room, much less an apartment. Even when I was making one thousand dollars a month, and then two thousand, I still had people telling me I should find a job instead. And well, it is sad that I had to cut all those losers out of my life, but what other options did I really have? People will not change to please others; not unless they have something to gain for themselves.

The losers think like losers, and will always think like losers; that's why they are losers. And ironically, the greatest fear the losers have, is the fear of losing. Isn't this poetic and pathetic at the same time? It is indeed interesting that what makes a winner different from everyone else, is his lack of fear to lose, to be poor, to end up broke, and homeless. And I can assure you that I have risked being a homeless many times. In fact, I was for a short period of my life, after my parents divorced, but the greatest miracles of life also manifest in those moments, in the form of ideas, and opportunities. That's how I ended up finding my way back to where I should be.

Step by step, I did eventually conquer everything that seemed impossible for the majority of this world. But do you think I am praised and respected now? No, most of such people simply think I found a way to make money illegally, and that I use the excuse of being an author to cover for illegal activities. There's just no way you will ever get anything from the vast majority of morons on this planet. The best thing you can do for yourself consists in literally burning the ships and the bridges behind you, i.e., forgetting them and expecting nothing from anyone. Face the world with whatever you have; and if you need to go to war against an army by yourself, so be it. Even though I must tell you that the greatest wars you will ever face are inwards - depression, despair, loneliness, disrespect, headaches, insomnia, lack of health, pain in your muscles for sitting the whole day in front of a computer just working, and so on.

You will most likely have more challenges in your life when you are changing yourself, and that can happen when you're even changing a country, a relationship and friendships. Certainly, these bring much more changes to your life, but the gratification at the end, with your achievements, if you're working on the right track, is much greater as well. Nobody will tell you when that moment comes, and you will never know too, until your bank account tells you, or the bank calls you to confirm that your money is not being earned illegally, as it happened to me several times. I have had to change my money between banks multiple times, and close many bank accounts, because it really seems that most banks don't like money. When they have too much, they start complaining and creating problems, especially in the poorest nations. How very ironic this is, no?

Among all these challenges, being seen as crazy is certainly the most common situation. Because the truly crazy, for being a majority, will always think they are normal.

When I decided to stop teaching, I told my students I was going to change country and maybe change country many times, because I did not want to teach anymore, and they thought I had lost my mind, because they could not understand this. They thought I was happy and couldn't understand why I was doing that, as it is exactly the opposite of what would make sense to them. In fact, I was doing that, because I wanted to be happy. So, yes, the yin and the yang were present, the balance is always present, but you can choose towards which side of this paradigm you will want to look at. I was looking at my condition; of course I could be happier in teaching; I was relatively happy and could be happier; I could have asked to change the subject of my classes, I could have changed the university, the team, and even change the country and still teach, and be happier. I would have had a higher salary, work for more institutions and universities, but I decided to quit all of that and embrace my challenges, I decided to embrace a life of full-time writer and obviously my students thought I was getting crazy. Now, several years later, they are surprised with the lifestyle I have and tell me: "I wish I had your lifestyle"; well, yes, they wish they had my lifestyle now, but they were laughing at me when I told them about what I was about to do.

What these students want is the goal, the achievements, but they are not willing to go through the hardships, the challenges; and the two things are connected. The boundaries here, in the heart, that I embraced, and the material world, were showing me challenges, difficulties, even for a while, a moment of material needs, and I went beyond them, knowing that I was going to reach my goals; and I reached them within a year. In less than a year, I was living in houses with a swimming pool, I was living in houses in front of the beach, and I lived in many places in which I only dreamt to be possible before. I never thought I would have such places in my life. I had them, and I was satisfied; and then I moved to other countries, I kept exploring my opportunities, just because I could. I could do whatever I wanted with my time and space, and I had enough money to do exactly that. And once I reached all of my goals, all my material goals, I started looking for something else, as I kept following my heart; and it does not mean I ignored the material world, my possessions, my achievements, but that I simply kept achieving more, and doing more things. Since then, I've started several online businesses as well, and as my ambition matches my happiness, I am much more fulfilled now than I ever was before; and my confidence shows that without effort.

What I'm doing is balancing my heart with my mind and with my life. If it looks amazing to others then good for them; but very often what they notice is only an expression of everything I am, the superficial aspect of my true self.

My lifestyle is a choice, and if others envy it, then it's because they admire it too; but my mindset and my emotions are also a choice; and many times people want to have the same lifestyle as me but they cannot respect my opinions or my feelings, they do not understand that the two things are interrelated. The way I express, the way I decide to do things, my opinions, my emotions, even my anger and my frustrations, are all related to what I have. As I have tremendously increased the potential of my mind to do things I before did not consider possible, I have also turned less patient with incompetence, ignorance and insanity, or, more simply, lack of moral fiber. That forced me to face loneliness for longer periods of time; but it's the price I have to pay for being different from the rest of the moronic and enslaved masses.

You only have to decrease self-respect, in the form of irresponsibility, to degrade your consciousness in favor of mental and physical pleasures, for a whole hell of demons to break loose inside your mind. Everything else, that you leave for psychiatrists and physicians to work with, are merely superficial manifestations of such hell. But that's what people who say "You need to think positive and focus on the positive things in this world" are actually doing with themselves. "Comfort makes more prisoners than all the jails combined" (Grant Cardone).

Some people tell me: "Sometimes you are so angry that I don't know how can you achieve so much in life". And well, I achieve exactly for that reason, because my anger fuels me. When I'm angry it is only because I see something that is wrong and needs to be fixed, needs to be changed, urgently; and so I use that anger to empower me to change and then I become very happy with the result, which also surprises the same people: "Oh, you can be so happy and joyful; how can you do that? How can you wake up in the morning and be so happy with the sunrise?" And well, this happens because when I wake up in the morning, the first feeling I have is: "My life is wonderful!"

I did not have this feeling before, but now every time I wake up in the morning, I wake up even earlier than before when I had a job; I wake up early because I want to; and I wake up happy because I love my life. Thus, you can embrace all of your emotions, as I do, i.e., your happiness, your anger, and frustrations; these emotions will show you the boundary between everything. When you are angry that means that something needs to be changed; when you're happy it means you are encountering something that is changing according to your spiritual nature; and when you look at these boundaries between the inside and the outside, you come closer to awareness and that is exactly what enlightenment means. "If you want things to change, first you have to change" (Dan Peña).

# Law Nr.7 - Take Responsibility for Your Enlightenment

Enlightenment is the process of awakening yourself to knowledge, to be as a light, to see everything as it is, and not in darkness, it is to come out of the dark and into the light. Enlightenment means exactly to be in possession of the tools and the faculties and skills that allow you to do more than everybody else. When you claim to be enlightened, you are saying that you possess more potential than any other human being. That is what enlightenment means. But enlightenment always comes from the boundary between two worlds - the spiritual and the material; and the boundary is here, as I've mentioned, it's in your heart, and it's in how you deal with this border between spirituality and materiality; it's how you deal with your thoughts that shows your potential in knowledge. And so, a person who is enlightened, is also often a person that has wisdom; the two things are related. But wisdom cannot be forced. I've met college professors who are some of the most ignorant people I've encountered in my entire life. As a matter of fact, their arrogance is a show that represents their level of wisdom, which is low, nearly inexistent. Most are more focused on trying to hide their imbecility from their students, in any articulation of knowledge they can portray, like a magician trying to distract the audience from his tricks. The easier trick of all is certainly to open a book and read it, as if that represented a truth.

You can possess plenty of knowledge and be extremely ignorant, and this is why many of these professors have asked me to do research with them, as I possess capacities that they don't. But my capacity, my ability to observe things as they are, comes from a capacity to look at this invisible world without the ego. This is something that they do not possess because ego blinds people to knowledge. Ego represents a heart that is in coverage, a heart that is rotting from inside itself; and so you cannot have ego and empathy at the same time. The ego closes your heart; empathy opens it. And if you want to understand the boundary between the visible and invisible, you have to develop empathy, you have to look at the world with the eyes of the spirit or, as we should say, the third eye. And when you look at the world through this boundary, you will see what the world needs, what the world has to offer you; and you will see what is your role in this world, your life path. When you find this perfect match, then wealth flows to you life much more abundantly and easily. And even if you work hard, you are happy for what you do because you are fulfilling your spiritual path.

There are the reasons why certain people may never become rich. These reasons find an explanation in their behavior, their decisions and their mindset. By talking to many of these individuals that want to acquire more wealth in their life but cannot achieve it, I've noticed they have many things in common. As a researcher, many times I do these things involuntarily, unconsciously - I observe them, and sometimes ask questions and eventually they reveal to me the certain amount of paradigms and beliefs that correspond to the lifestyle that they have at the present moment. And, one of the things that I have noticed in many of them is the need to be part of the majority, the need to be one of the sheep. Most people have a sheep mentality; they look at the world and they don't realize that those who know more, that possess more, are a minority. They want to be part of the minority and the majority at the same time, and meanwhile they are manifesting the reactions, behaviors and beliefs of the majority. And so, they are afraid to be different, afraid to be rejected, to do something that others will criticize; and it is indeed very difficult to do something against the majority when you want to be a part of it. You have a group of people going in a certain direction in life and you're telling them that all of them are wrong by showing that you can go on the opposite direction, and succeed. Obviously, this causes fear, insecurity, not only in you but in those around you. Most human beings are used to, through different generations, to be part of a tribe, to be part of a group, as when they were segregated and alone, their chances of survival were worse. If I told you that the majority of the people on this planet are actually manifesting a certain amount of behaviors that decreases their potential for survival you would have problems to believe. This is sometimes hard to believe, but when someone say: "I wish I had more money in my life"; what they are actually saying is: "I don't think that by following the majority I will achieve this goal". How can they achieve goals that the majority does not possess? They can criticize the government, they can ask for a raise at work, they can change their job, but this will not do much for them. They can protest on the streets, they can do many things that will not contribute for a significant change in their life. The only way they will ever change is if they do something that the majority is not capable of doing and yet they are afraid of being part of the minority, they're afraid to be criticized, to be ridiculed, to lose their friends. I've had people literally telling me: "I'm afraid to become rich, because I may lose my friends". And this is a very interesting fear because indeed if you have more than others, they will resent and envy you, so you can lose friends.

I've lost many friends when I started to travel more, when I started to have a lifestyle that they cannot afford; because they hate that and they hate the fact that I can do it and they can't. For them, I went outside of the heard and they cannot live with that. The majority, as long as they are part of the majority, will always be the majority.

This basically means that, to be part of the majority, to be part of a certain mindset, a certain amount of rules that will keep you there, also means that many people cannot change their lifestyle. They are following what the majority is doing - their beliefs, habits, interests, likes and dislikes. And well, the majority is wrong. So if you want to go along with the majority, then you will be wrong and as wrong as the majority. You will have their problems and their challenges, their sicknesses, their anxieties and their fears; you will not have the problems and the challenges of the rich, because they are the minority.

Another thing that I've noticed in people that are usually poor is that they possess a very low consciousness, they have a very weak capacity to be empathic towards others, they cannot embrace different viewpoints, they struggle with different opinions and they have difficulties in learning from people that disagree with them and in comprehending them. This lack of capacity to absorb different viewpoints limits their perspective of reality. And this is actually what makes them have a low consciousness.

A low consciousness is a consciousness of self-sufficiency, is a consciousness of arrogance. And indeed arrogance is a level of consciousness, but a very low one; it is to believe that the little you know is everything you need; and many professors, teachers, many people who work in politics or for the government, have this type of arrogance - they believe that their position, their job, is all they need in life; and this builds in them a certain form of arrogance that actually limits their potential to understand many other things.

I'm not saying that everybody in this position shows this kind of attitude but I'm telling you that certain jobs or professions will embrace our ego in a way that reinforces our arrogance. Whenever someone has power that person can become easily arrogant; but power is deceiving, power is just a condition, power can change hands and it does change. Besides, nobody lives forever. Everybody that was once powerful in the past has died and everybody that is powerful today will die as well. Power cannot remain forever. So consciousness is something that you see, it's a perception. When this perception increases, you understand that your consciousness is also limited, limited by what you have and what you do, and what you are capable of having and doing. The more you can do, the more you increase your level of consciousness. Consciousness is fluid and related to adaptability.

Some people wrongly believe that when you do many things at the same time or when you have many different skills, then you're not good at any of them. This is completely wrong, because the skills you possess show your capacity to operate in certain environments and also your potential to adapt. When you are easily able to flow from one environment to another, you are showing a capacity that very few people have, which is the capacity to change, to adapt very fast to reality and its fluidity, because, indeed, it is an illusion to think that reality is a static.

The more environments you have in which you can do this, then the higher your potential to adapt will be. This applies to friendships, hobbies and to work as well; if you have the capacity to adapt to different personalities, different viewpoints, if you have the capacity to handle people who disagree with you, then your potential as  a human being is much higher. If you have the capacity to quit a job you don't feel fit to do, to do something else that is more pleasant, but requires a renewed set of skills, motivational attitude and a new approach or set of thinking patterns, you are showing an improvement on your spiritual state of being, and potentially increasing your luck, your capacity to attract success.

I've met many billionaires that do exactly this: they study something that they want to do, and they then decide to do it, even if it does not match what they have studied previously or the field in which they have worked before, or even their previous experiences. It is only the immature and the overly educated by the academia mindset who believe one needs a track of validity to prove oneself. Those who know how to make money and attract success, know that success is self-made. Or as Dan Peña said: "The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself."

That means exactly what it says - you do not depend on anything to create it but your willingness to do it and to adapt to the circumstances that present themselves before you. And yet, even at the end of this journey, many fail due to their disbelief in this fact, due to their lack of ability to say "yes", and take what is theirs. You know, it's the "this can't be happening to me", or "it's not true", "or, I never had it, therefore isn't real", that drives people away from themselves, from what they've conquered through hardships.

Those who can conquer their dreams, simply learn as much as they can and then adapt as fast as they can. And through this attitude, of doing their best, wealth follows and is attracted to them.

Many of the rich people I've met actually did not possess any background on what they are doing today; they merely learned it and keep learning. Furthermore, I also met one business owner that bankrupted three times and three times he restarted a new business in a new field. His capacity to adapt is tremendous. And it is balanced by his  high interest in different viewpoints. He is always reading different types of books. And I was surprised to know that he reads books about spirituality, psychology, marketing and much and many more topics that just business. His variety of interests is what makes him who he is and his personality has such a high potential that he can adapt to any situation, and rebuild himself, and restart from the beginning.

As you can see, this potential to be open-minded is something very few people have. When many say: "I am open-minded", they are not really aware of what it means, even though it sounds good to say it. To be open-minded is to refuse accepting what the majority accepts, and not its opposite; to accept the majority is not to be open-minded, but a moron without self-esteem. To truly be open-minded, one must be able to reject that majority; that is being open-minded; at least open-minded to yourself; because if you're following the majority, which is actually not open-minded, you're being close-minded. To be open-minded is to accept who you are, even when you express yourself differently from the majority.

You're not being open-minded when you accept someone who is different; you're being open-minded when you accept yourself as being different. Open-mindedness and consciousness are interrelated - you develop as much as you express yourself in different ways; that is the meaning of being open-minded.

# Law Nr.8 - Control Your Own Time

Another characteristic I found about poor people is their weakness in planning. Rich people can make plans for three, five, or ten years of their life; and this capacity to make long-term plans is what allows them to make daily plans and keep themselves motivated, to avoid procrastination and to be able to persist in achieving their goals. Poor people, on the other hand, cannot do this, they want something immediately, they cannot wait for tomorrow, and often resent anyone who makes them wait. As a matter of fact, social media has made people poorer in their mindset, because it explores the sense of immediate gratification, immediate virtual rewards, immediate recognition, and, generally speaking, immediate feedback. We can see that those who are addicted to social media, tend to become easily frustrated and distracted too. I can barely have a conversation with such people for more than five minutes without losing their attention. Now, if such people can easily lose their attention during a conversation, and can't even look at others in the eyes, how do you think they behave when alone with themselves? How much do you think they can persist on their own plans? And can they even understand the purpose of planing? Many times I offer opportunities that they cannot accept, because they want the results now, and results cannot come "now". As a matter of fact, if I had already the results that they want, I would not offer them opportunities; I would offer them a job instead. And, well, this is another thing that many people do not understand; they say: "I'm afraid to start a business, I'd rather have a job"; but they forget that the job they have now, was provided to them by someone else who started that business, the very business which gives them that job.

Very few people understand that someone already created a business before they had a job, they don't see the relation between the two things, and they do not see that the person who gives them that job had to work, himself, from the beginning, for years, without nothing, before that job emerged as a possibility, before they would even need someone else to work for them, before they could divide tasks, and earn enough to be able to afford salaries. Jobs are never possible unless salaries exist, which means a business is already profiting beyond its basic needs. In other words, jobs only appear when the owner of the company wants to expand his business beyond himself.

Now, going back to the origins, how did it all started? Someone, at some point, created an idea, and applied it, and through that idea and application, jobs and opportunities came to others. Obviously, governments know that without an investment on entrepreneurs there is no future to their society, as their societies start with self-employed individuals. Or do they? Socialism, Communism and other democratic viewpoints have been on the forefront of bankrupted societies, world wars, and overall global collapses, that favored only a few, at the top. And so, it is paradoxically interesting to notice that is capitalism, and the rational sharing of responsibilities, in hierarchies or not, that allows progress, evolution and peace.

We may still lack a few more years, before what I said here becomes too obvious to be denied, but those at the top know that, everything that socialistic ideologies ever promised, turned out to be an illusion to enslave the masses. Retirement plans kept getting removed from the masses, social security keeps being denied and pushed towards a minority that may not even live long enough to benefit from it, and it has merely contributed to enrich corporations even more, with lies that keep people sick, obedient, competitive, and lonely. In other words, socialism makes people lack empathy, resent wealth and accept immoral propaganda. Socialism, as Communism, devalues human beings and strips them from what makes them human. Such ideologies rape the fundamental values emerged from individuality and self-sufficiency.

A government that invests too much on social security and very little in entrepreneurship, on business owners, is a government doomed to fail. But why politicians with short-term careers should worry about this? Comparatively, monarchs have more to lose from their own laws than politicians who depend on the votes of the dumb class of enslaved workers who believe the solutions to their problems consist on punishing the rich and blaming someone else for their stupidity and irresponsibility. There's nothing more psychotic than that; or narcissistic too. The "love yourself and be happy as you are" slogan is a socialist idea that denies responsibility and infantilizes people. Thus, when people say that the government should focus more on pensions and social security, they are saying that we should get all bankrupt and that when we retire we should have nothing, because the people who contribute the most for taxes are people who contribute more for the government; for the pensions are precisely the ones that were created from business opportunities which led the most to the creation of jobs. Without those, there would not be any pensions, and social security would be bankrupt. When people forget this, they forget themselves. The two elements are interrelated; when you say that you want a job, you're basically saying that you want to be irresponsible for yourself, for your future, because that is the lowest level of lifestyle a person can aspire to have, to be owned by someone else, to have a working contract and depend on the enslavement of his time and money to get a salary that pays basic necessities.

Of course, you have something lower than this status, which is slavery, which doesn't exist anymore. It may exist illegally in some countries, but actually slavery in general is illegal; it's not legal as it was a few hundreds of years ago. That's why we can say that today the lowest form of life is in possessing a job, as you are trading your time for money; but that money that you are receiving is just enough for you to go through life and pay your bills; it's enough for you to have a house, to have food on the table. If you want more than that, then you have to possess the skills of a business owner. And ironically, those who earn the most, often also possess the knowledge to manage their own business.

Managers usually earn more money because they are able to manage a whole corporation; that is what makes them managers; they possess the knowledge to manage a company. And why they don't start one? Well, that is up to them to answer.  Most likely, due to fear of failing. But you see, people earn more according to their potential. And so, when sometimes people ask me: "Don't you prefer to have a job, isn't it better for you?", I have to tell them: "Are you telling me that I should trade my time for a position in which I earn far less than what I earn now, while I sleep?"; They then get confused with what they are saying. They don't understand that their idea is ignorant, does not make any sense, as they don't understand the relation between the job they possess and the person who has created it, someone they probably have never met. They do not understand that they will never make too much money because they do not possess the capacity to reach that level of awareness, and that is why they are poor.

# Law Nr.9 - Prioritize Long-Lasting Commitments

Another characteristic I found on poor people is selfishness. The vast majority of the people that I've met, who don't have much, are incredibly selfish. And why shouldn't they be? They spent most of their life, very likely their childhood too, having nothing, nothing to share, nothing to give and nothing to show. They grow selfish, even when they have abundance, not realizing the importance of wealth. And so, they concentrate themselves in selfish goals, because they think that this is where their survival is. Like a small rat that has never seen so much food, and rushes to hide it, they concentrate their efforts in possessing a house, a car, and other items. And so they perpetuate poverty. They don't see the value of investing in their relationships or education, and they often don't have many friends, basically, because if they trust nobody, nobody wants to trust them too. And so, they also have a very poor sense of emotional value. They can pay a lot of money, up to €100 to go to a music event, a music festival, to obtain immediate gratification, and enjoy themselves for two days there, but they cannot pay two dollars for a book that can change their entire life. Many times they want these books for free and even if I offer them, they do not read them. Even their choice in literature is poor, and based on what the majority is consuming. They have difficulties in processing an independent thinking, and proceed in making unwise decisions, which they typically justify with the thinking of the masses; basically, because they were never given that choice. As a matter of fact, they were often denied that opportunity, to think for themselves. The poor simply don't have enough capital, space, and education, to act in a wise manner, even with themselves. And that's why they perpetuate their poverty for the rest of their life. They tend to do this, also by the type of people they associate with, as they often can't identify with the values and thinking patterns of the rich, they can't hold a conversation with such individuals, and tend to feel more comfortable with those who share common and similar values, among which they tend to select their spouses, thus perpetuating the same problems of the poor. This is so sad and ridiculous, that one can only laugh at the abuses they promote unto themselves, for I have heard the most crazy things from the poorest people. One of my former girlfriends, for example, used to say: "I am afraid to get married with you, because you won't let me party and get drunk with my friends if we have a baby."

This statement is so incredible, it makes me wonder how did she expect to live with me. But there are more, such as: "I don't like to work, but you can pay me with food and I will give you sex in return."

She then got offended when I said she was behaving like a prostitute if she refused to work for me. And yet, she did not think that her behavior is degrading towards her own self. In other words, we had many fights, because she kept impoverishing herself and self-destroying my plans to build a family with her, while I was pushing her upwards, to get more for herself. It's just not possible to become richer next to a person who is poor, not just financially, but in mind and soul. Everything that such individuals do, turns into a fight, because they are just too stupid to see how they destroy their life and the life of others, even when they think they are doing the opposite. Even their values are wrong, as when this same person told me: "I wish I had a relationship with a guy that would take me to party every weekend and smoke weed with me, and get drunk with me." She was actually envying poor people by saying this, not understanding that you don't succeed in life unless you dedicate a vast amount of hours to work. This just doesn't happen if you think you can spend your days smoking weed and getting drunk.

You see, these people are going in a totally opposite direction in life, towards extreme poverty, and wondering why some people have so much and they don't. They think it's unfair. And she also expressed this to me, when saying: "You don't deserve the house you have, it is too big for you." Well, yes, she felt I did not deserve a big house that I can afford, even if I barely spend any time at home working. She felt she deserved that, even though she created so many fights, and tried to cheat on me so many times, that I had to expel her back to the room where she lived, sharing a house with other three men. She thinks I'm not fair, life is not fair, and she's too pretty to be poor and miserable. Now, if that doesn't make you think about the "unfairness" of this world, I don't know what will. Because, you see, unfair is to give so much to someone who is so ungrateful. And sadly, most people who are poor in mind, are also very ungrateful; because they can't appreciate the values that make the rich, rich; They don't value respect, commitment, truth, planning, family,... and they make me wonder how they can even keep a job. Oh, wait, I know - they fake it; they fake themselves for eight hours a day, pretending to be someone they are not, because they fear being fired. In other words, the poor enjoy enslavement of body and mind. And maybe if they were insulted a bit more, and stepped on a bit more, and stripped from their humanity and sense of self-worth a bit more, they would know that self-humiliation is just not the way. So we need to wonder why when such things happened in the past, they did not change humanity. And that is because the poor also forget easily. Their values are so poor, that they can't appreciate what they have. They don't see that they have much more than what they deserve to have. In other words, their concept of value is extremely poor; they don't value knowledge, friendships, and hard work; they value parties, quick fun, quick enjoyment, quick sex and other quick forms of pleasure; i.e., they live constantly in the now. It is all about "now, now, now", and "me, me, me". And they don't understand that in the long-term these things that they are valuing now, will have no value; they value good training shoes, good clothes, their appearance, and they value other people's opinion on them. They cannot conceive that all of those things are temporary, superficial and do not constitute long-term value; they don't value moral, love, and other things that can bring them long-term potential to their life, things that can increase their capacity to achieve more in life; and so they do not value the knowledge of others, the experience of others. Very few of these people will spend hours talking to an elder and embracing the knowledge, the life experience of that person, very few people can understand that someone who has 70yo or 80yo has so much life experience that he or she can resume plenty of knowledge about how to make proper decisions in life, whom to trust, whom not to trust, what to learn and so on.

Their capacity of understanding is very limited and this is because they value the wrong things. They don't see value as a long-term investment, as they see it as something that they have to possess now and this often makes them arrogant, because they look at the majority and the majority is expressing the same as them. The majority is going to the same parties, the majority is going to the same festivals, the majority listens to the same music; and they are happy with that situation and this makes them arrogant, this makes them believe that they are right; and so then when you ask them to change their mindset in order to achieve more in life, in order to achieve more money, they refuse that perspective because it contradicts their belief system, it contradicts their idea of quick fun. They will not chase that perspective, will not embrace it, and they will oppose it furiously and even criticize it.

# Law Nr.10 - Embrace the Differences

I have found that poor people are also often very ignorant, but they are ignorant by choice. Ignorance is indeed a choice. And there's no greater prove of such, as when I see beggars reading books. Even libraries have huge collections of free books. You can choose to read or you can choose not to read, you can choose to learn from others or you can choose not to learn from others. I've paid plenty of money to go to seminars and listen to people that I value a lot. Many of the people I know will never do this and that's why their life remains unchanged. I've also paid plenty of money to travel to countries that could change my mindset and I spent many years in China because I wanted to learn something different about this planet and this is the reason why I have learned many things that Europeans will never learn as long as they keep themselves closed inside their European mentality. The same thing I could say about North American mentality, South American mentality, and so on. Culture is made out of beliefs,  and this planet is simply too big to be explored in one lifetime, or to be stuck in the same place all of our life.

Now, beliefs come from our habits, so when we say that the European mentality is this and that, the American and the Chinese mentalities are this and that, what we're doing, is differentiating centuries of history of habits of a majority. When you are able to travel, when you are able to compare mindsets, lifestyles, beliefs, values, you are able to see life from different angles, and this capacity makes you less arrogant, it makes you more humble; and when you are more humble, you also understand that your personal value is relative to your decisions.

This is something that the poor cannot do; it's an attribute of the rich. That's why the rich enjoy meeting people from different cultures, that's why the rich enjoy going to different countries. And notice here that I am differentiating rich and poor, not in money, but in mindsets, which will eventually attract success to some and poverty to others.

Obviously, if you shift these mindsets, you end up getting different results. That's why my own family started out as wealthy and influential monarchs, and ended up as nothing, common people, slave workers, and now, in my generation, poorer than they ever were before. That's what generations of stupidity and poor values do to those who will inevitably inherit all of that. And yet, it's interesting to notice that my generation considers the biggest inheritance to be in the house their parents own. They don't understand why I ignore those things, and focus on building my own wealth. And surely enough, they won't ever understand why so many billionaires leave nothing to their sons and daughters. It works in both ways, you see. The biggest legacy is knowledge. You don't need money if you know how to recreate it many times. That's something only multibillionaires can comprehend.

This mindset also expresses itself in healthy habits. The wealthy like to absorb the different mentalities of others, so that they can express more of themselves. When you travel, you gain more ideas, when you travel, you observe things that you will never observe in a different culture, you change your natural instinct, your natural cultural instinct to become more of who you are from a spiritual perspective. And this capacity demands empathy towards the rest of the world and less arrogance, demands more humility. And as you start noticing that the world has evolved by copying itself, and learning from different experiences, by improving things that come from different cultures, then you can understand that this world has been growing as a human being and you can grow with the world as a human being too; but you grow faster as you know more about this world.

This is related to another thing that you see in people that tend to be poor, and it is that they are afraid to change their lifestyle, they are afraid to change their country; and yet, by doing this, they remain for years and years inside the same paradigm, inside their own country or another that they may find. They spend too many years inside a culture that makes them comfortable; and are afraid to be uncomfortable. But you learn much more when you allow yourself to be uncomfortable, when you allow yourself to go to cultures that contradict yours completely. And the best way to do this, obviously, is by traveling the planet as much as possible and see how it looks like from all the angles you can approach. If we could go to other planets, I would suggest exactly that - to go as far as you can, inside the galaxy, or to go to other galaxies, if possible. You will expand much more your awareness about life and through this awareness you can understand more about yourself.

There is no higher spiritual state than the one in which the consciousness is able to travel between planets and see different lifestyles - that is the highest form that a human can expire to have. And we may never understand why extraterrestrials do exactly that, until we wish to become as them, and expand our consciousness by observing further into space.

At this moment on planet Earth, what is allowed for human beings in their higher state is to observe the different cultures, which exist at the present moment. But television is making us much more similar, so the faster you do this, the better; because as the years pass by, this planet is going to be much more similar to itself. You will not see so many differences. People now travel more, they exchange more, and this is what makes the world change faster as well. But this ability to learn from our differences will gradually vanish. So indeed, the more you embrace the differences that are still present in our planet, the more you can learn about the human nature. It is in our differences that we can enrich the most. And this attitude is what makes you grow as a human being - the ability to be uncomfortable with the differences, the contrasts and the contradictions. It is the ability to express different perspectives while being aware of which one favors you the most. And it may not be the wealthiest, if you wish to experience poverty. You must know first who you are and what you really want, before you can commit to a lifetime journey of experiences towards that destination that you envision for yourself.
