The message of this book is simple. If you want a prosperous, happy, fulfilling life, there are two things that are required of you. You must be true to yourself and you must follow your dreams. The self I’m talking about here is your true spiritual essence. This essence is neither the cumulative buildup of your earthly history nor is it a product of your own making. It belongs to you by nature; it is your native soul. To follow your dreams is to be consciously involved with the natural expansive activity of your spiritual essence, to embrace, as spiritual guidance, the heartfelt desires that arise from your core identity. To know your native soul is to live from this eternal, cosmic fountain of life that wells up from within you, to live, as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “with the privilege of the immeasurable mind.” To follow your dreams is to be guided by your own inner counsel—to draw from your spiritual strength and power a genuine conviction in the expansive purpose and absolute goodness of life and your special place in it. To engage in an active pursuit of your dreams is to develop and employ your natural talents to express your deepest self in a manner that is both unique and interesting to you. It is to engage in work which you love because it allows you to express on the three-dimensional plane all that you know is true of yourself at the eternal level. Engaging in these two activities—being true to yourself and following your dreams—is the key to truly understanding prosperity at the artistic level of expression. Until you make the accomplishment of these two objectives your sole mission in life, the quality of experience you deeply crave will remain elusive. If you are unhappy with your life, then it is because you are, in a hundred different ways throughout your day, making the decision not to be true to yourself and not to follow your dreams. This unconscious denial of your true identity and its natural desires is the key reason you are not happy with your life. The source of this denial is found in the realm of your consciousness. It does not matter how good a person you try to be. It does not matter how hard you work. It does not matter how much material wealth you accumulate. What profit is there in gaining the riches of the world if you lose yourself.[1] Until you decide to be true to your native soul and to pursue your dreams, you will never tap into the full essence of prosperity that is available to you. |
