The Exact Way Of Being Rich

Foreword

The entire world is a mechanical repetition of the same story with different characters in different scenarios, resulting in different outcomes. Still, history repeats itself.

Every book irrespective of its content comes with two kinds of messages: physical and spiritual. What you pick up is your choice.

Preface

The natural first thought after reading the highly attractive title will be a question.

What is The Exact Way Of Being Rich?

The Exact Way of Being Rich is an approach anyone can easily master to uncover and feel the richness and be rich by choice. It uses a framework to expose the components of richness which you can use for assessing your purely personal richness.

The Science of Getting Rich always follows The Exact Way of Being Rich.

This book is short and sweet. It has been kept so, intentionally. The goal is to make the reader feel and experience the inherited richness as the birthright in a way which suits perfectly with the new age. Apart from that, one needs several important implementable and supportive techniques and concepts to maintain the newly uncovered treasure.

Exploring richness in a fine grained manner leads to assessing the current personal richness which paves the way for adjusting the mind to experience the newly uncovered state in varied forms. From that experience, one may want to make it look even more different. Minds can be literally blown away by doing this activity.

This book explores the possibilities of experiencing the richness without resorting to a trick or gimmick or ritual or esoteric practice. It exposes the ridiculous and misunderstood constructs of the mind placed by the mind itself deliberately as the insurmountable obstructions to avoid experiencing divinely blessed individual abundance.

Human mind always seeks complexity. Simple things and simple solutions always create doubt, confusion and a dilemma for the mind. Worldly emphasis is always on doing thrilling things which result in complicating the problems rather than solving the problems in a simple way. Everyone has become fond of creating vicious circles because it allows them to cry foul by pointing fingers at others. It is like using a nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito. The mosquito will be killed, and in the process everyone around will also get killed.  

Evidences of the above stated facts about embracing the unnecessary complexity are visible in day-to-day life and behavior of human beings. Everyone unconsciously subscribes to this fallacy as a current day commandment that must be followed as if it is etched in the stone. Let us scratch a little into a simple situation to understand this. When one needs advice to solve a problem, they will go to the most expensive advisor, who is sure to provide a more complex solution than anything ever seen before. If the adviser gives anything less, for sure, there will be a loss of customer. Also, when you can use a small book involving simple steps to solve a problem, you buy a thick volume which you will never read. For books, content is not the decider for picking it up for reading. The reputation of the author and the attractiveness of the title are the deciders.

There is a great deal of information about being rich in religion, science and the new age literature. All the information is pointing to correct facts in a complex way leading you into misinterpretation. It is not able to pinpoint how things are far simpler than they appear. They miss the point about being rich. Instead, the emphasis shifts to becoming rich.

When you finish reading this book, you will understand why this book turned out so small. It is focused on you. It is extremely direct in its message on the exact way of being rich.

Chapter 1

Natural Abundance

Why am I not being rich? 

My living process forced me to ask this question. I asked it with absolute sincerity, and I got my convincing answer.

I know you have been asking the same question, and you are desperately searching for an answer. Because of that, I am motivated to write this book. My aim is to tell you how I got my answer. It may not give a direct answer to the question for you. But, it has the potential to help you get your answer in the most convincing manner. There are other reasons for writing this book too. Those reasons will get exposed as we move along. Please read this with an open mind.

Richness is the exclusive property of an abundant environment. You cannot think of experiencing richness in an environment riddled with lack. Being surrounded by abundance all the time makes you to take it for granted and not feeling abundant any more. Beyond that, the perceived lack gets magnified, which results in the abundance of lack.

The behavior of the human mind is funny. Somehow it seems to love experiencing lack. It is fond of finding and experiencing lack even amidst total abundance. There is an issue associated with lack which you should know in clear terms. Even feeling imaginary lack leads to fear of insufficiency. Fear leads to hoarding everything. And, hoarding results in misuse of the environment itself. 

Everyone needs occasional reminders to appreciate the natural abundance they inherit as their birthright.

The cosmic intelligence is generous in providing you with an abundant amount of basic resources needed for your continued living. The cosmic intelligence also desires you to use those resources judiciously and lead a happy life. Feeling abundant is the first and foremost requirement for a happy life.  While undergoing the process of living, occasionally you might have felt the abundance of resources in bits and pieces. In this chapter, I am trying to direct your attention towards the absoluteness of the abundance of these resources beyond a speck of doubt. It is essential to bring this into your conscious awareness before you can feel rich to begin with, and from there to move, and become rich in all aspects of life.

Let us start with an exercise. This is a simple exercise. At the same time, it  will end up as a unique exercise for every person who cares to carry it out. It is a three-step exercise and comprises many parts depending on your choices of events to examine. Some parts of the exercise might seem illogical and difficult to accept. That is because of your bias or judgment or the strong opinions you have developed in the course of living. Every one of us has the mental bias and there are some important reasons for the mind to get biased. We will uncover those details in later chapters.  For now, do not hesitate and go ahead with the exercise.

Here are the step-by-step instructions for you.

Let us start with the first step. You can carry out this experiment anywhere. There is only one requirement which needs to be met before you can carry out this experiment. Your mind should be free from clutter of thoughts caused by life issues needing immediate attention. That means, if you can think in a focused manner you can carry out this exercise. There is an easy way to bring your mind into focus. Start paying attention to your thoughts with an intention to calm your mind by taking out unnecessary clutter of thoughts. It produces a state of comfort where you can think in a focused manner. This kind of calming the mind goes by different names and labels like meditation and prayer.

If you look around, there are zillions of techniques available which can help you in getting your mind to this state. You can use any of those techniques you feel comfortable. Here is the simplest possible technique. Sit in a comfortable place while concentrating on your breath for a short while. Within ten breathing cycles with or without using a countdown you will be ready to move forward to the next part of the exercise.

The above instructions are useful whenever you need to relieve stress and there is no harm in repeating this part of the experiment as many times as you like. I frequently refer to contemplation in the text. This should be the starting point of the contemplation.

Let me move ahead with the instructions for the second step. Closing your eyes may help you in this process, but it is not needed. In this phase of the experiment you should turn your sight backwards, I mean, look inside your mind. If needed, you can use imaginary eyes turned inwards to look at the world hidden inside the skull, while deliberately discarding what you see in front of your eyes. Initially, you may not see much. As you practice more, you will watch an entire world unfold. All of it is a set of memories. These memories are made up of visuals, sounds, feelings and sensations. In fact they are the records of events that have happened in your life. Turn your attention towards the memories of specific events which have happened in your past. There is no need to sequence those events at this stage. Pick as many events as you can handle without letting yourself into confusion. Let the picked mix include both kinds of events having positive and negative results. Now, pick and analyze one event at a time. Look at every aspect of the event you have chosen, and the feelings generated by it while you were undergoing the experience, including the losses and profits in terms of money and material.

As the last step of the experiment, for every chosen event, check whether you had all the inputs in the form of physical material and mental ability to make the event possible. Watch the event getting replayed in time lapse mode. At the end, check the outcome in terms of the feelings and physical manifestations. I bet all of those were abundant. What I mean by saying abundant in this case refers to the essential things being available over and above the requirement. If your choices of events are proper, you might even identify some miraculous events where you had thought you did not have adequate or missing resources at the beginning, yet, by the end of the event what you had was much more than needed or missing resources mystically making an appearance during the event in adequate quantities at the most appropriate time. Just not to miss out, be sure
