Though
it may be hard to believe, the underlying intention of all human behavior is
happiness. Eons of experimentation have proven that trying to achieve happiness
through fear and force is futile; it can only be achieved by choosing love and
using power. The equation that I came up with to explain the Soul Purpose formula is simple; INTENTION X DISCIPLINE =
INEVITABLE SUCCESS.
The Intention is LOVE; the Discipline
is HARD/EASY; the end result is JOY/MONEY. Some may ask, why does money have to
enter into the equation? Because money is the most accurate material (or outer) metric we have to calibrate the amount of value you actually
create in the world. The greatest non-material
(or inner) metric we have is
happiness and love. To fulfill the intention of having greater influence, we
must love more, AND create more value for others. THE REAL SECRET TO DOING THAT
IS EVOLUTION OF TRUTH CONSCIOUSNESS.
Truth is what IS, and the acceptance
of it. I deeply love people and genuinely care about their success. But until
we all love TRUTH more than our current BELIEF systems (especially if we’re
unhappy and poor), humanity is destined for continual discontent and suffering.
Reality is the truth of what is, and not only the acceptance of it, but
alignment with its Success Laws and Power Principles. Intentional Influence
teaches us what these laws and principles are, and how to use them with
inspiration and integrity.
This is critical because everyone
mostly agrees on the same measurements of success, and profess to want it.
These measurements are happiness, health, longevity, strong family life, fulfilling
life partnership, good friends, doing meaningful work we love, having financial
freedom, and leaving behind a legacy that outlives us. That is the
extraordinary life we all want isn’t it? But to get that life, we must create
favorable conditions for success, and this means being INTENTIONALLY
INFLUENTIAL. The Intention is LOVE; the Influence is Wisdom and
Value; the end result is increased JOY and more MONEY.
A prosperous life is one in which
the person has both love (non-linear) and money (linear). Linear reality
governs things that have physical, material form like your body, a car, a
house, a tree, a dollar bill, etc. Non-linear reality governs concepts like
thoughts, emotions, and ideas like love, wisdom, happiness and inner peace.
These are essential to human life, but are not found in the physical world of
material form. They exist in another aspect of reality called the unmanifest
realm. This is the domain of thoughts and emotions and in scientific terms is
called the electro-magnetic spectrum.
Reality has two aspects, similar to one coin that has two sides. Both
are equally important. The two aspects are;
1.
The Non-Linear Spiritual Aspect (skillful faith)
2. The Linear Mechanistic Aspect (logical
reason)
The mechanistic aspect and must be
studied and utilized to pragmatically increase profit. The mechanistic aspect
teaches us to love Truth and to break through old beliefs that may actually be
limiting your soul purpose, thus limiting your ability to create value and earn
more. It teaches us to honor what is integrous and functional as truth, and to
discard that which is non-integrous and non-functional as falsehood.
The
spiritual aspect must be studied and practiced to maximize inner peace, joy and
health. It teaches us how to add meaning to the responsibility of having money
and increases our ability to be loving, charitable, wise, and peaceful while
being financially successful at the same time. We must use the best of both
paradigms to experience true prosperity. Integration of these two seemingly
disparate paradigms increases Intentional Influence.
