In over 3 decades that I have worked with thousands of people in every continent - even on a ship in Antarctica - and culture, I can say that no matter what the issues a person has, be that financial, relationship, personal, spiritual, there is one common missing key that blocks everyone.
A clear and precise financial target. This is not about money, it is about survival instinct so please do not disregard this as an article about money; it is really not.
It’s not about money, but it is about the things that require money to survive. A much deeper subconscious force that needs to be brought under your control.
The first thing we need to understand is that no matter what your goal or beliefs about yourself and your views of money and material things, you cannot avoid the human animal survival instinct which will be the core driving force in every aspect of your life. That means it could drive you in a certain direction, or, it could block you in another aspect of your life.
A human is made of different parts, and there is no difference between anyone. As we all have the same internal organs, we also have a physical mind, intellectual mind, and emotional mind. Those three minds are like different people in the same body, each vying for what they feel is more important.
The problem is that you do not see the three minds as individuals and therefore you will not see how they each conflict or control your thoughts at every moment, but you can test this to prove it very simply. Never trust anything you read or hear or see, until you have tested and proven it to yourself to be true.
Internal conflicts. Everyone has faced these conflicts. Sexually, you want someone, but you know you should not make the move because they are married, but you still want them, for example. You want to meditate and be purely spiritual, but your mind cannot focus and stay present.
The question everyone has is, why do I have these conflicts? Why can’t I stay focused on what I want?
In this article, I will give you the answers and solution to this perplexing and universal problem.
The three minds are in conflict because each wants what it needs. Let us define each mind and its needs.
The physical mind needs everything for animal survival which means; food, clothing, shelter, and sex.
The intellectual mind needs to learn new things, be challenged to grow, which is its food. The degree of this depends on the level of intellectual strength a person has. It is clear that the more intelligent a person is, the stronger this need, and therefore the more pain when it is not fed.
The emotional mind needs companionship. This need is from birth to death and most obvious in babies who need the parent to be there with them and old people who are always asking you to visit. If you, like me, do not want children, you probably have found that everyone will ask you, Who will take care of you and be there when you are old? That shows that everyone knows they need a companion and that is a major driving force to have children. And all the years in between is what makes the dating apps a big business.
Now that we have established that a human is a three part being, let us explore where the common thread is that affects everyone. Be you old or young, rich or poor, spiritual or materialistic, everyone who has not achieved freedom in their heart and mind or succeeded in their goals, or has lost motivation, has the same block at the core. Maybe once this block is removed you may have other issues with your particular goal, but until you resolve this one, you will never get further.
The loudest voice and most powerful mind is the physical mind. The body is the simplest and yet most controlling mind in our being, which is logical since that is the thing we live in, it is what we are as a human while we are alive.
The main emotion behind almost everything a human does is fear, which is based on the survival instinct, meaning, we live in a constant state of fear of death or not having the basic needs of survival. Being a simple animal, the body does not have a mind that thinks, it simply sees and desires to be safe, gain pleasure and avoid pain, but most of all, it lives in fear of not surviving.
As we now live in a world that we do not have to worry about the crop producing enough food, or if we do not catch an animal in the hunt to have meat, everything, absolutely everything we need is attained with money.
So, the physical mind wants money so that it can acquire food, clothing and shelter by purchasing it, and as for sex, we are inundated with the evidence that money will also provide sex through making us more attractive, either for a man who can provide things for the woman, or a woman who can pay for all the clothing and beauty stuff to make her look more attractive.
Money is the common thread we all must have to be able to have all the three minds peaceful so we can meditate and progress spiritually, or be able to be relaxed at all times, or simply have a good night’s sleep.
The common thread that is the block is related to this: How much money do you need?
That’s the problem that I have found in every student from all my courses, be it financial success, how to be an entrepreneur, how to have a good relationship, how to understand and master the mind, and even the purely spiritual courses. Everyone has the same core block which is the hub of the wheel for a human in this life. The survival instinct which knows that money is the only solution, even if you deny that money is important to you, you are just lying to yourself because you are not accepting that your physical mind is the master of your life as a human.
If it does not know how much is enough, you can have billions, but if you have not proven to all the minds that you have enough for the rest of your life, there will always be a level of fear, which will express as greed or hopelessness.
And finally, the cure that will change every aspect of your life. It may not fix everything, but if you do not do this simple exercise, you will not progress. Once done, in a few weeks, sometimes just days, you should see a big difference in your life and will be able to determine your next steps towards what you want to achieve. You can call this a prerequisite step that is impossible to avoid if your life is not moving in the direction you want.
If you do not have a definite amount of how much money you need to attain your goals, which is always to be able to live the rest of your life in whatever fashion, level of luxury, you desire, without any possibility of your survival being threatened, your life will never be fully at peace, even if you deny and ignore the discomfort.
The problem, the common thread that is more of a wall, is that most people THINK they know what their goal is, because they pick a number or ignore that it is about money. Your intellectual mind, the part of you that will make the decisions and determine the best path to attain that amount of money, cannot get behind this goal because it is intellectual. I repeat, it is about money but not about money. Money is simply the means of providing what your body needs to survive. It could be seashells or pebbles, it is just the form of acquiring the necessary.
The intellectual mind, working through the subconscious part of your mind, needs clear and precise numbers with a justification of how you came to that figure in order to trust it as being correct and that it will resolve all fears.
This is all happening in your subconscious without you being aware of it, because your minds all function in your subconscious and you live in your conscious state. But the subconscious level is what is actually feeding your intellect and emotional minds. So you have no choice but to work on their level.
Please read my article, Can You Or Can’t You? to understand what this means and how to master this illusion you have that you are in control, because you are not.
So the end of this long story is simply this. You need to know how much money you need, a regular income that is guaranteed and fixed for the rest of your life, to live the life you want to live. You have to determine this with precise accounting documentation that cannot have any aspect of thinking or feeling or guessing. It must be indisputably proven with evidence as if you are in a court defending your life.
