Ugh...part of me hates you for writing this, but the other part knows behind a shadow of a doubt that humans work this way. I hate what you write because there is so much that exists in the field of potentiality, yet most of us will never experience it. Why? because my experience has demonstrated time and time again that everybody wants to transform into something other than their circumstances, but NOBODY wants to do the WORK to identify the patterns, shadows, secrets, and actually transcend them into behaving differently- who has the time given the fast paced lifestyle and all that is available at the finger tips?
My frame of reference for this is trading. It doesn't matter the asset class you're trading. It always ends up being the same behavior that fucks people over. By "fucks people over" I mean losing all your resources.
Everybody is in love with the thought of being your own boss and making lots of money to "buy Lambos and bang bitches" (seriously, someone actually told me that). What is lost is the thought that you come to the table with, for example, poverty or lack consciousness, addictive tendencies, deep seeded thoughts of low self worth, etc. and lifetimes of experiences that reinforce it. Trading simply amplifies subconscious beliefs and becomes a mirror for the defective and destructive self.
I always say trading is about the money but you can't make it about the money. Its not about the trade but how you manage the trade. Its about taking a risk, the right kind of risk. I call it the duality of contradiction. I ask if they can see how beliefs will color decisions they make. I mostly get blank stares.
Until we take the time to look within and do the work we will always be sheep being led to perpetual enslavement and slaughter, myself included.
