How is wealth manifested?

Wealth grows where people exert energy. If energy is not exerted, money cannot grow. It will stagnate. It will rot and diminish before your eyes. The multiplication of money requires the energy of thought and labor. Wealth is a reward for wisdom in action. When you believe an idea, you buy it with the energy of your mind, or with the money of your mind (consciousness). Therefore, you must be sure that it is a profitable idea, for profitable ideas are the only ideas that are worth purchasing. You must also examine every idea by asking what the idea is going to cost you. Finally, you need to know what the idea will pay you and make sure it is only “goodly pearls”. For example, you should not go out and start buying expensive suits just because you see other people buying expensive suits. The expensive suits that they are purchasing benefit them because they may be going into areas that demand a certain kind of presence and attention that will ultimately generate wealth for them. However, your work may not require a two-piece or a three-piece suit. Your work may require overalls because you are doing some kind of plant work, or perhaps you are doing construction work. So don’t go out buying expensive suits if you are not operating in that realm because that is not going to generate wealth for you. Make sure that whatever you buy and sell are “goodly pearls”, for consciousness is the only currency, and currency is only consciousness.
