RED WHEEL/WEISER

We must learn how to let go.

It may appear to you as if you are the victim of circumstances, while all along you are the cause of those circumstances, including your experiencing of wealth or lack of it.

You already have riches beyond your wildest dreams. You have them. You may not be experiencing them right now, but you have them. Having and experiencing are two different things.

Life is a pattern of eternal processes existing all at once with all possible existences—Now—and you only choose the one you will be awake to from instant to instant.

Many experiments now show that particles separated by space and time somehow know exactly what other particles are doing at the exact time they are doing that particular thing. In other words, particles do not communicate. Communication takes time and requires a message. This is different. They know without having to communicate. They act simultaneously as if they are intimately connected somehow across space and time, in a way that is not affected by the separation in space and time between them.

Everything changes, and using memory keeps you from seeing that change, seeing things as they truly are. Try to “forget” everything about what you are looking at, and you will discover a whole new world. You will grow a whole lot faster, and grow your wealth and self a whole lot quicker

Instead of chasing a better life by throwing your consciousness into the future, bring it back to the present and let the future chase it there.

—I am wealth. I am abundance. I am joy.—

Do not dwell in the past. Do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment.

—Buddha

The most fruitful thing to do is not to remember or wait; it is to observe, experience, and create—Now. Observing, experiencing, and creating Now is timeless; it is the true nature of the universe.

Do not worry about how. It is all taken care of for you as long as you do your part by thinking, acting, speaking, and being in accordance with that dream. Just dream and visualize, and then start doing something. Do the next thing that you feel you should do in accordance with your dream, and keep on moving. The little that you do will trigger something else you did not foresee—and on and on it goes until your dream is a reality.
