Most people go through life chasing specific outcomes:
“I want the job.”
“I want friends.”
“I want money.”
“I want the car, the girl, the relationship, the house, the food.”
“I want the six-pack.”
This approach to action is extremely limited and often introduces a massive amount of internal friction. This is because the actions you’re taking are disconnected from your true, core desires.
When we do things solely for outcomes, we’re acting with the hope of achieving external results that are often misaligned with our deeper purpose — who we’re meant to be.
It is a common misconception among many modern-day success gurus and people who have achieved material success — that you must put your head down and grind in order to become exceptional — we must do things that we don't want to do, even if they don't feel right, over and over again over extended periods of time to achieve any semblance of success. And otherwise, you don't have what it takes, you don't have the discipline, you don't have the perseverance necessary to become exceptional.
This could not be more incorrect. Though it works for people to a certain extent to achieve very low-vibrational material success in the grand scheme of things. I will elaborate on this.
The aligned path of abundance and unlimited riches lies directly on your true desires.
On the surface, people think they want all these ‘things’ (outcomes) — money is a great example. But when you peel back the layers of the onion, what do you truly want in life? It certainly isn’t pieces of paper or numbers on a screen.
This question “what do I truly desire” has an almost infinite number of layers to peel back before arriving at anything close to the full answer.
If you go deep enough, you’ll find that all human beings fundamentally crave three things:
Authentic connection — with ourselves, with others, and with all that surrounds us: nature, spirit, energy, and life itself.
Optimal Health — mentally and physically.
The actualization of our highest potential — a potential that transcends modern science, physics, mathematics, or any man-made framework.
These three desires, based on my current understanding, are what ultimately lead to true fulfillment.
If a person can rise through the levels of Maslow’s hierarchy and reach the top of the pyramid, this is the beginning of the journey.
If you haven’t met your basic needs though— or if you believe you haven’t (we don’t need very much, contrary to what you may think) — that perception alone can pull you out of alignment and lead you to live a misdirected, unfulfilled life.
You will deflect energies of abundance almost entirely.
Scarcity deflects abundance. A prime example — read: “Saving Money is Keeping You Poor”
Your thoughts, and the actions that stem from them, are the most powerful tools for authoring your own reality — for better or for worse.
To begin walking on the path of alignment, you must learn to consciously see the light, to recognize the good, to understand the abundance in your life, in this world, and in others.
You must learn that nothing happens by coincidence and that everything happens for a reason.
You must then develop your ability to consciously grow, move forward, and find positive lessons from all of your experiences no matter how excruciating they may be in the moment.
You must choose light over dark — find light in darkness.
You must choose abundance. Nothing is scarce — competition with anybody but yourself is a psyop.
Embodying these things is how you begin to attract everything you truly desire.
On this path you will build a deeper connection with the Divine—your spirit team, your angels, the ascended masters, Jesus, Buddha, God—whatever label feels true to you. The label is trivial. There is one truth in this universe, and these are many songs.
What truly matters is the strength of your genuine connection to the other side — not the performative or superficial relationships many people claim to have with God. These often take the form of transactional spirituality — people turning to God only when they want something.. Just as common are virtue signaling and religious superiority complexes — those who use belief systems to appear morally elevated or to look down on others. None of these reflect real connection.
Real connection is quiet, constant, and rooted within.
And it’s through this kind of sincere, inner connection that true wisdom becomes accessible. Because, “man’s knowledge of life and the universe is limited and uncertain, therefore he cannot have wisdom in himself, and so his wisdom is small unless he can connect his mind with knowledge greater than his own and draw from it by inspiration the wisdom that his own limitations deny him. This is what all really great men and women have done.”
“Processes of reason do not often reach knowledge of truth”
“Our knowledge is limited and uncertain; therefore, we cannot find wisdom by ourselves. Only God knows all truth; therefore, only God has real wisdom: the right thing to do at all times.”
So we must receive wisdom from the Gods.
For more context, here’s an example relating to Jesus:
“Man is a thinking substance, a portion of the cosmic substance, but man is limited, while the cosmic intelligence from which he sprang, which Jesus calls the Father, is unlimited. All intelligence, power, and force come from the Father. Jesus recognized this and stated it very plainly over and over again. He ascribed all his wisdom and power to his unity with the Father, and to his perceiving the thoughts of God. ‘My Father and I are one.’”
These truths are communicated in all religions though they are commonly interpreted out of context and completely misunderstood.
Going deeper: ‘My Father and I are one.’ “was the foundation of Jesus’s knowledge and power.” He showed the people the necessity of becoming spiritually awakened, of hearing his voice and becoming like him. ‘God is spirit,’ he said. ‘Be born again, become spiritually awake, and you may see his kingdom. Hear my voice, see what I am and what I do, and come forth and live. The words I speak are spirit and life. Accept them, and they will cause a well of water to spring up within you. Then you will have life within yourself. I do what I see the Father do,’ he said. “Meaning that he reads the thoughts of God. The Father shows all things to the Son. If you become like God, you can read his thoughts, and if you do not, you will find the inspirational perception of truth impossible.”
One very important note to close on:
“You can never become a great man or a woman until you have overcome anxiety, worry, and fear. It is impossible for an anxious person, a worried one, or a fearful one to perceive truth. All things are distorted and thrown out of their proper relations by such mental states, and those who are in them cannot read the thoughts of God.”
Find what you truly desire — take action to become who you truly want to be.
