Q:
Hi Bill
I read your first article on [The Law of Attraction] and
have been meaning to write for a while. I understand your
position on compensation and that’s how you see the world
- you have to give or invest yourself before receiving back.
But there was no mention of morals in what you said. Is
your view of compensation morally neutral So for example
if a person was making money exploiting people, say people
trafficking where the people are sold into prostitution - the
traffickers are making an effort and being rewarded but
their morals are at best questionable. But they might make
a lot of money doing this so the Universe is morally neutral
regarding compensation
My second question is how much is possible. So if I take
myself, as a 38-year-old, if I decided to put a lot of effort
into remodelling my golf swing and developing myself
physically and mentally, using Holosync among other
things, eating as healthy a diet as possible, getting support
where needed along with whatever else it takes, is it possible
that I could reach the professional touring ranks at the top
level
Look forward to your reply.
Regards,
Steve
A:
Steve,
Morals take care of themselves. In this, too, the
universe’s books are always balanced.
First of all, if you provide something that someone
else thinks is valuable, they will pay you for it--even
if it is bad for someone else. I’m not endorsing this.
It’s just a fact. If you decided to kill people for money,
some people might think your sevice is valuable and
pay you for it. The person who is trading the money
for the goods or services gets to decide whether or not
it is valuable to them. If they think it is, they will trade
money for it.
However, there are consequences to everything. If
you do something that lacks integrity--or worse--those
consequences, in one way or another, will come back to
you.
I’m not saying you should do whatever you want,
regardless of whether it is hurtful or dishonest, or
whatever. I’m just saying that to get something you have
to focus on it, take action, and provide value. While you
do this, other consequences may also come into play,
and certainly if you are creating suffering in some way,
you will create suffering for yourself, along with other
potential consequences. You may not know what they
are, and to observe someone who is creating suffering
you might not think they are paying, but I assure you,
they are. Ultimately everything is balanced, and every
action creates an equal reaction.
Be well.
Q:
Hi Bill,
Some Eastern philosophies bang the drum that we are
all one, that everything is the same thing etc and you
very much say the same thing. This to me is a matter of
conception and comprehension. The Bhagavad Gita
clearly states that each individual has always existed and
will continue to exist as an individual. Any object is made
up of atoms etc but each of these atoms are individuals.
You could say that all the atoms are one....because they
are the very makeup of the chair but yet they retain their
individuality.
It is the same with us, yes we are part of the very makeup
