A TINY BUT MIGHTY CHAPTER ABOUT
UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE
There is no lack of opinions and theories when it comes to the Universal
Intelligence that created, and continues to create, all that exists. Some
people call this mighty power God, some call it Spirit, some call it a
load of crap. If you’re one of those people who happens to be skeptical about
buying into such woo-hooery, and you desire to get rich, I strongly suggest
you put your grouchiness aside and agree to take some new beliefs for a spin.
Because not only could you very possibly see gigantic results by partying
down with Universal Intelligence, but I’m telling you, whether you like it or
not, you already sort of believe in it. You believe in something, somewhere.
Whether it’s fate or luck or divine intervention, you’ve knocked on wood
before. You’ve said a prayer when your team’s about to lose or you suddenly
notice blue and red flashing lights in your rearview mirror. You’ve thanked
someone named God before or stuck an oh my before his name while

along the back of your neck. Even if it’s just the tiniest smidgen of
recognition, you’ve said howdy to Universal Intelligence.
The reason I’m insisting on this is because once you acknowledge that
there’s a force larger than your physical self at play in your life, you can start
working with the highfalutin and limitless power of the Universe to make
some money around here. We’ve been taught to treat the information
delivered to us via our five physical senses as the truth. Meanwhile, without
sounding like an ingrate for all the awesomeness provided by my eyes, ears,
nose, skin, and tongue—seriously, guys, huge thanks—these senses of ours
are limited. Our senses provide only a certain scope of information limited by
the reach of those senses. For example, our sense of smell is far inferior to a
dog’s. A dog can smell a package of salami being opened the second the seal
is broken. From the other room. While sleeping. Bats can totally make fun of
us right in front of our faces at frequencies too high for us to hear. Cats and
