Money and Beyond

Most books encourage `positive thinking' but Money & Beyond inspires `positive feeling'! It explodes the myth that `intellect is supreme' and explains how intellect may sometimes even be detrimental to living life fully. This book is mind-blowing.It helped me realize that we have given too much importance to the intellect or the conscious mind and very little to our feelings. The intellect is limited because it can only receive inputs through our five senses which are themselves very limited. For example, we cannot hear or smell as well as a dog can; we cannot see as well as an eagle can. Yet we place great value on what we can see, hear or measure and quantify. We call this the `scientific method' and rely totally on this very limited means to learn what ever we can about the physical world.But our consciousness is much more than what we can perceive through our limited sense organs. We cannot quantify love, or pain or sorrow or joy. Are these feelings unimportant to our lives - just because they cannot be measured in a lab under controlled environments? What about our imagination, our intuition, inspiration and our dreams - can these be quantified in terms of our five senses? Do they not exist? In truth, those things that we can feel without our five senses, are far greater than what we can with these limited senses. In other words, our non-physical world is far greater than our physical world.Ever since I got hold of the book several months ago, I have made it a point to re-read a chapter or two every morning before breakfast. This helps me start the day off feeling loving and happy. My wife has noticed the change in me and now she too reads the book regularly.I would like to share a few of the enlightening ideas I received from the book:1. It is normal to experience abundance. If there is shortage in my life, it is because I am actively resisting the flow of wealth to me! To stop resisting the flow of abundance to and from me, all I have to do is to be non- judgemental and love unconditionally!2. Remember that money is only a derivative; we are the creators of money and all other things we need. Money never created anything. It is we, human beings, who create - whether it is a painting, a house, a melody a book or money itself.3. Every person & circumstance we attract into our lives supports us by reflecting back to us the present state of our consciousness.In closing all I can say is: "Buy the book, read it regularly, experience your feelings and live life more fully than you ever thought possible!"
