Day 449: The Greatest Secret to Wealth

This is a point that Occupies the Mind of many all the time and many books have been written about ‘The Greatest Secrets to Wealth’ and Positive Thinking plays a Major role in this whole approach. The other point that plays a major role is Networking. So the great gurus all Promote the importance of Networking, Remaining Positive, Not Allowing any Negative Influence – ‘You need to Focus and Get it Done’.

Now, the Greatest Secret obviously is a fascinating thing, a thing that many attempt to Use: the Only way that Positive Thinking Works is If You Become a Positive Thinking Guru. The Rule is Called ‘Fake it till you Make it’ Yes, you have to – in spite of never having the Evidence that Positive Thinking Works, you have to Become a Guru and then Sell Your idea to other people and That is How a Positive Thinking Guru makes their Money, they Never have Evidence that the Positive Thinking works, they Become Wealthy through Selling their Idea to Others. And then out of Those a Few may be Lucky enough to Develop a Unique Enough Approach to Positive Thinking to then Sell that approach to Positive Thinkers and They become Wealthy. So, a Few will Become Wealthy through Selling to the Flock of Positive Thinkers.

The Other Few – and there are fewer and fewer of those – would be the ones that Manage to get a Unique Approach through which they can Convince People that Their Approach will bring some form of Happiness or Wealth and They will Become Wealthy That Way. Some may Invent a Unique Product that would be a Monopoly and they will Sell it to one of the Corporations and they’ll get Lots of Monopoly Money because the Corporation will Monopolize the Idea and the Justification would be by giving it to the Corporation, you’ll be able to Sell it to the People for Cheap and therefore you’re doing a good thing because you are making it more Affordable to Everybody.
Obviously the Fact that Only You and the Corporation will Become Wealthy out that and that there will be Extensive Job Losses because your Invention would have Automated certain Human Labor and thus would have made human labor in certain aspects of the human existence Irrelevant = That escapes our ‘Great Wealth Creators’ because: “Self Interest is the Key!”

Now, let me give you the Greatest Secret of All secrets, the Desteni Secret: How Do We Know when Somebody Cannot be Trusted and is Only in it for Themselves? It is when they Reject the Desteni Message, because the Desteni Message is Designed to Only have One Outcome Always: that which is Best for All and thus it will give an Equal Spread of Wealth to All so that Nobody is Poor and Nobody is Struggling. And there is Only One Way that works because – by the Law of Balance, Balance Must Exist and thus Harmony Must Exist. And the Desteni Message is the Ultimate Message about Balance and Harmony, Peace, Love, All the good things everybody Profess in their Attempt to Become Wealthy, Desteni Presents the Solution to Wealth for Everyone, Spiritually and Financially.
We Present a Total Solution in terms of your Emotional-Mental Existence AND your Physical Existence = all the Cornerstones of a Society that is Benevolent. But! Those that are in their Self Interest looking to become Wealthy, will Reject it because: they will want to do it ‘Their Way’ – but that’s not the real story. ‘Their Way’ they are doing to Find Ways to Make Lots of Money – that is the Design, they’re Just Looking to Become Gurus, Get Followers and ‘Preach their Way.’ Unfortunately, there is Only One Way where it Works for Everyone and that is When it Works for Everyone and that is a Mathematical Equation, a Mathematical Certainty and a Mathematical Principle of Balance. That is what Truly Benevolent People Do. They Realize they’re Not Alone in this World, that they are One within this world with everyone else, that they’re Interconnected and they realize that If they have More than another = then somebody must have Less because we are in a Reality of Finite Resources.

The Positive Thinker obviously will try and Convince you that ‘There are No Finite Resources, it is Infinite What You can Do’ and the Spirituality will Attempt to Impress upon you the Same Ideology, in Spite of the Evidence in the Physical world. They even will go as far as telling you that ‘The Physical World is an Illusion’ and that ‘The Truth is all about Love and Light and Energy’ because the Real Intent in the Secret Mind is: They want to Become Wealthy and they want to Become Special and Famous, and they want people to Follow them and put them on a Pedestal. And therefore they will Present Words in Ways that Shift your Cognitive Recognition of Reality because ‘it Sounds So True,’ but it is Practically Impossible.

If you start writing down the Mathematics, you’ll see All Positive Thinking Always Depends on a Pyramid Structure, Always Depends on a Multilevel Structure, Always Depends On one at the Top and the rest following, Only One will Become wealthy. We investigated All things and that is why our message is simplistic: Everybody Must be Wealthy for Harmony to Exist and for that, Everyone Must be Equal within the System = Oneness and Equality. Oneness alone only Feeds Those that Mislead you that Their Message is apparently ‘good’ and that Ensures that They Get all the Money. That’s why we are all so Attacked Viciously because Those that Want to Find ‘Their Way’ of Becoming Wealthy = They don’t Like the Desteni Message because we Invalidate the Ego that is Attempting to Become Wealthy. And those that Cannot Stand within Oneness and Equality within the Principle of What is Best for All Always, and there is Only One Way that Works for Everyone = They will be in some way Looking at Becoming Wealthy themselves, instead of Sharing the Wealth of the Earth Equally, Ensuring that there is Balance in Nature, Ensuring that there is Balance in the World.

So you’ll see that things would move Very Slowly initially, because People are going to Find out that there are Finite Resources. The Greatest Nation in the World, America, now only has 47% of its People Employed. The situation is Growing Worse by the day, but the Positive thinkers would claim ‘It’s Not so’ because, they can get enough Followers to Still Make Money. There are Ways to Make Money in this Screwed up system. For those that Do Show their Understanding of the Desteni Message, We Support them in ways to Find a way to Health And we Train them How – while the system is still out of balance – one can Actually Make a Living and a Good Living, and at the same time ensure that we Educate as many people as possible, that there is a Problem in the System and that Those that Claim ‘Positive Thinking’ are in Fact Only Looking at Selling their Stuff to you, and that Only a Few will ever get Wealthy out of positive thinking and the Law of Attraction. Yet, people would Follow this as if it is a Dream they Want to Get no matter what; they would Not Investigate the Actuality of the Practicality by Writing down the Actual Business Plans that were Followed by others to Show How many people must buy something Before someone gets Wealthy. And obviously, unless you have a Unique-Enough Product = You’re Not going to Get Enough People to Buy what you have to Sell and therefore only a Few end up becoming Wealthy. And only those that can Manage to Convince you that ‘Their Way is the Best’ are the ones that You will Buy into and then you’ll Try and Mutate it to create your own product; but unfortunately, you are dependent on the Physical Reality which means you need Enough people to buy your idea before you Become Wealthy. Don’t get caught in this trap! It is just a trap and those that Sell you this, can sell Ice to an Eskimo: they can make it Sound Wonderful.
Understand: the Future of the World, a world of Harmony and Balance means that we need to Balance our resources, we need to Balance how We Coexist, we have to Balance How we are Interconnected and we have to Ensure that each one’s life is Valued Equally. Obvious Common Sense, there is only One Way to do It and that is to Do it In Fact.

And so with Desteni with Our Message we Ensure that Those that are only in Self-Interest Do Not Get through to the True Answer to Life, because they cannot do the basic principled discipline that is necessary to change the brainwashing they are trapped in which is for instance the 7 year Journey to Life. They Do not Make the Effort to understand how their thoughts, emotions and feelings work, because They ARE their Thoughts, Emotions and Feelings, the Evidence of Being Brainwashed – they are Just what Others Made them and make them Believe they are Not Real People yet. With Desteni, we are the real People: when you are Ready to become a Real Person, a Real Living Being, you’ll Realize your Destiny is with Desteni. That is why the name Desteni exists because this is the Destiny of Life on Earth: You are either going to be Part of it or Apart from it.

And yes, Life on Earth is Temporary and there is a Line Drawn where You will Draw your Last Breath and at that Singular Moment, Your Life is Assessed: is it that which is Balanced Equally Best for All, always? Can you be Trusted with Life or Not? That is the Question that is Answered, and the Evidence is what you leave behind: the Consequence, the Things You Cannot Change, what You Have Done to Contribute to either a World that is Best for All or a world where you Only looked at your own Self-Interest – you Already know the Answer.

Do you have the Guts, the Discipline, do you have The Will to Actually Correct Yourself or are you just a slave to your mind?

Day 448: Universal Consciousness: What is it actually?

To Understand it, one must look at How the System Functions and that the System as the Universal Mind functions like a Casino. Therefore your Universal Consciousness is like the Inside of the Casino where the Lights are Flashing, the Bells are going off somewhere Enticing you into the Idea that ‘You Can also maybe Win a Jackpot and Be Happy’ - and Universal Consciousness Functions like that. So, because this Promise Exists, this Hope Exists, it Entices you to Participate because you Look at it and you notice that Those that participate in the Universal Casino and then Claim that they have done so through some Spiritual Benevolent Force, They Participated and They Managed to Win a Jackpot – which is Wealth and Happiness – in the Casino. Obviously you don’t investigate the Actual things they Had to Do to Get it, you just listen to the Nice Part they’re Telling you, they call it the ‘Positive Part,’ but they Don’t Tell you the Negative Part which is the Real Part; the Positive part is just the Projection of an Image and Likeness that apparently is ‘Good and Benevolent’ because: “I’m a Good Person, otherwise I wouldn’t have Won all this Wealth and Happiness! I wouldn’t Have Had this life if it wasn’t that in Some level I am Good” But the Actual Physical Actions that had to be Taken to Get the Money and the Consequence that it Brought to Others In your world Directly and Indirectly = That is Never Shared.

So Universal Consciousness has been Deified stating that In this Giant Casino on Earth, You have to Take Chances, you have to Hope and just Listen to the Bells and Whistle, you see it in the Media, you see it with the Celebrities, you see it with the Successful People, you see it with Those that Claim that they have Managed to Acquire Lots of Money through ‘Positive Thinking’ and ‘the Law of Attraction,’ but what You Don’t See is their Secret Mind. If you had to Investigate the Actual Secret Mind of Those that Managed to Win Big in the Universal Casino, you would notice They Followed Certain rules. The Rules they Took and Followed and Implemented was to Ensure that They Win No Matter What and to ensure that They Keep Winning: they have to Misdirect you and tell you The Ways you will Never be able to Win, which are all the Positive Ways, because they used all the Negative Ways, the ways to Exclude you from winning and then they had to Ensure that You Never Win and so, they Give you the whole Positive thing. And you will have people that will Actually Believe this, a lot of people, the Whole World so to speak that Somehow by ‘Remaining Positive,’ Somehow by ‘Being Good’ there’s going to be Some Force that’s going to Look after you and therefore the small little wins you get, the ones that are not the Real Jackpots, they Keep on Motivating you because you Keep on Giving All You Can and then you get a Little Win, and then you Keep on Giving More and then You get a Little Win, and then you keep on Giving More. But the Big Jackpot = That only Happens to Some and those ones they take Much Bigger Risks, the Biggest Risk they take is with their Existence, their Eternal life. Because they are Willing to Harm to Gain and they do so under the Disguise that apparently ‘They wouldn’t have Won if it wasn’t God’s Will’ the whole thing Justified “If it wasn’t in Some way the Will of the Universal Spirit, if the Universal consciousness didn’t care…” and that is Why Love is Used to such an extent to claim ‘Love is All there is!’ it’s the Ultimate way to say “Because I Embraced Love, I Managed to become Wealthy and Happy” Not True. If one would be Self-Honest about the Thought Structure you had to go through, the Actions you had to take to Gain the Wealth you will notice: oops! I Used Evil Only.

So, this whole Universal Consciousness Scam: it is Deliberate. It is Deliberate by Those that Do Not Want to tell you the Truth about How they got their Spoils and why They are Spoiled in this world and You are Not. And because there are Limited Resources, they have to Ensure that You Do Not Share the Spoils and the Best way to do that is to Make You Believe that The Way it Doesn’t Work is the Way it Works. They have to Get you to Believe in the Positive, in Love, in Light, in Beauty – That’s Why you See it in the Magazines, You see it in Hollywood, You see it Everywhere Projected at You All the Time. Wondered why that done? Keeping you Occupied, keeping you in Desire and Hope and ‘Maybe’s’ because ‘It’s Not The Way’ / ‘It’s Not How it Works.’

 Yet, you’ll Use the Very Mind that was Implanted In-you through which your Personality and your Consciousness was Created to be Subjected to this control, You’ll Use That to try and Analyze what’s Really Going on and then you’ll Find eventually you’re able to Create some form of an Energy within yourself that ‘Makes you Feel Better’/ ‘Makes You Feel Good’ and you will Equate that to the Energy you need to be, the Beingness you need to be to Acquire this Wealth and Happiness and you will Focus on it and eventually you will even get to the point of Teaching Others and you will claim that you are Benevolent because ‘You’re Not Doing it For Money’, ‘You’re Not doing it to Have More’ – But That’s Not True, because You haven’t used the Correct Methodology. You will then start using Love and Light in an Evil Way to Acquire Wealth and you will Sell your Knowledge, In Spite of the fact that You don’t have Any Evidence of Acquiring it Yourself, you’ll only Acquire this Wealth now by Misleading Others and they will Pay you for it, and You’ll Become Wealthy and You’ll say: “Now I have the Evidence! Law of Attraction and Light and Love Works because Look I’m Wealthy!” but You Don’t Tell them, when you all started, You were Not Wealthy, You Didn’t Have the Evidence – You Used everyone that’s Following you and there’s Very Few of them that will ever be Wealthy unless They Do What You Do and become a ‘Guru’ or a ‘Teacher’ Selling ‘Love and Light’ = they will Not become Wealthy and if they Can’t do it Completely to the Level where they are Convincing: they’re Not going to be able to Make Money, Be Wealthy. And that is the Nature of the Universal Consciousness. It is working out How to Con others so that You can have Wealth and Happiness. Claiming that apparently ‘Happiness is a Human Right’ but you will Not Look at the Systematic Ways you used to Acquire it because You will Deny what I’m saying as the Truth but hear me: This is the Actual Truth. There is No Universal Consciousness that can be Trusted, it is a Creation of the Human Race. This Creation has only One Objective: to Find a way to Con Others into Giving You their Hard Earned Money so that you can Become Wealthy; You will not Present a way Out of it, You will Not Present a New System that is Based on What is Best for All – Anyone that comes with That, will Take Away Your Right as far as you’re concerned to Acquire Your Own Wealth and Happiness through Consciousness, through Conning Other People. So you’ll Blame the Truth as being a Con, the Truth as Negative, but the Truth is the Truth – You Cannot Change that.

At Desteni we Present a Solution that’s Best For All, we Present the Truth and the Truth is Never Beautiful – You can go and Check those that have Found this to be true and They have Shared this message and yet: You will Not Hear, You will Not Investigate what is Here on this Earth and How this has Caused Mayhem in the Lives of Many and How you would – If you are a Big Enough Con Artist – used this Universal Consciousness to Make Money and You can See How those that Refuse to Hear the Truth will Change their stories and slowly but surely focus on Becoming some ‘Great Guru’ which can present Light and Love; and they will Use statements that are Based in Cognitive Disinformation which Sounds ‘Universally True’ because it’s Generating this Energy.

When you look at the Machines in the Casino and their lights are flashing and the bells are ringing, it sounds universally true ‘You Can be the Next Winner!’ and You Become Engrossed by this, not realizing it is functioning in a Mathematical Equation, one that only Gives to the Few a Jackpot and for that Jackpot: it Requires to Take from the Many! And the One Rule is: the Casino Never Loses. And those that Manage that System, they sit Right at the Top because That Casino is the Resource, they’ve Created the Earth Resources in a form of Casino, then they created the Hierarchy: the Winners and then the Players and they’re all Losers and the only ones that Really Get Everything are at the Top and they never Play the Game because: They are Controlling the Game. So the rule even says: ‘If You are in any way Involved in a Casino, You may Not Play in it’ because They know you’re going to lose but they’re Winning, this is How it Works.

Those for instance that Control the Resources, they don’t Play the ‘Market Place’, they Don’t Play the Future’s Market, They don’t Invest in Shares… they Control the Resources. They Have it all, they determine the outcome, They Always Win because they are the Universal Mind and therefore all they have to do is Keep you Going within the Universal Consciousness, keep you Conned and Allow people to Develop their Skills as Con Artists to Help with this. And there you have it, many claiming ‘Love and Light’ and Positivity, but the Truth is Not Shown, the truth in the Secret Mind and Why they do it, How they do it, What they do in this Physical World to Acquire the Wealth and Happiness, They will Not tell you because then you will see They’re Evil. They’ll tell you the Nice Part and you’ll Believe them, because the Nice Part is where they are playing the bells and whistle in the Casino, and they tell you How Wonderful it is to Follow this and if you use these ‘inspiring messages’ they give you, You can Also Acquire this. But you go and test it in the Physical World, in Actuality, you’ll see it’s a Lie – and those that Lose and there are many of them Never Share their Story, they Never Share that it was a Lie because They Believe they didn’t do it Effectively Enough, they didn’t go Far Enough, so They’re ‘the Loser’ and the others say ‘Good! You’ve Done so Well, Look you’ve been Better than me’ and it’s okay because From Day 1 when You Arrive on Earth you are Taught that: Only Some Can Win, the Rest come Second and if you are Not First: Glorify the one that Wins because ‘It might be You Next Time and You want to be Glorified’ and so the Whole System of Universal Consciousness is Glorified, and you’re Brainwashed into it without Noticing, and you keep on believing ‘It must be True!’ “Look, look at that one, Look at their Luxury Items their bells and whistles, Look they’ve Managed to Achieve it, I Can Do it as well.” And then you Focus and it Drives you into Evil and You Will Not Admit it.

Who out there is Willing to Open-up to the Self-Honest Truth, What you Really Had to Do to Get your Money? Why are you Not Willing to Open the System for Everyone in a World where the Resources are Given for Free by the Actual Universe? Why Do You Abuse this For your Own Benefit Only, Why Don’t You Give as You Would Like to Receive, Why Do You Not Live the Message of Jesus In fact Practically, because If You Don’t: You Have Sold Your Right to Life.

Day 445: The Universal Mind

There has been Talk throughout Time with Great Reverence of the Universal Mind and for Those that got Annoyed with Religion and the Followers of God, normally would Move to the Next form of Religion which is the Universal Mind, which then again also moves as ‘spirit’ and Acts like God.

Obviously the Functioning of the Universal Mind seems to Escape all Believers because instead of understanding How it Functions and realizing that it is Just a System – as like your Total Existence is based on a System – there is some Greater Power given to this, which Apparently is Evidenced in the Few Moments you may Benefit from the System. But in fact the Universal Mind is nothing but a Giant Casino and it works in exactly the Same Principles as the Casino, it is the same way the Law of Attraction functions, it’s the same way Prayer functions, it’s the same way our Current Money System functions. It is a Giant Casino where Less than One Percent end up being Lucky; or let’s put it in another way, less than 1% of the time after All the Input of your Coins, your Cooperation, your Coincidences – that’s why the word ‘Coin’ is in ‘Coincidence’ – you have to Put in Coins and if you Put in Enough Coins, you’ll eventually have some Payout, you have some Result and your Happiness fascinatingly enough is Dependent on these Jackpots.

Now the Reason for the System Existing This Way is because Due to the Lack of Understanding of How things really Work, there were Those that could Manage to ‘Hijack Life’ for a moment, it Had to be Allowed because it was Time for Everyone to Learn How Life really Functions. And one only ends up Valuing something if you are Taken to the point of Complete Helplessness and Powerlessness where you are Stuck in a System and you have to keep on Feeding it, endlessly just to have the ‘Odd Jackpot’. And because the Basic Principle that brings an End to this Casino-Style Existence would be to Mind What You Do and in Minding What You Do is to Realize that: If you Change the Equation – that currently functions like a Casino-Equation – to Give as You would Like to Receive, then Everyone has got a form of Jackpot All the Time and obviously it’s limited by Resources, and it’s limited by Labor and it is Limited by Time, but it is Sufficient to have a Life of Harmony, Balance and Equilibrium.

But our Philosophers and Those that have Claimed to be teachers have instead, when they had some Jackpots and especially nowadays it’s Happening a Lot, you’ll have people that had a Jackpot, they had an Idea and the Idea Paid-off. Then they become Spiritual and they Start to Revere the Universal Mind and they Praise the Universal Mind As If their Jackpot was acquired through some ‘Benevolent Force,’ while the Truth is really that they had to Cheat, Lie, Misdirect The Point and that they have gone through Conflict and all kinds of Bad Evil things to Acquire this Jackpot, but there is No Self-Honesty. All there is, is telling everybody about the Magnificence of that which Gave this Jackpot to them.

That is why Nobody following Those rules end up with a Jackpot – but Those that Follows the Rules of Evil = They get the Jackpots and that’s Why: Evil Always Wins. Because Those that follow the Rules of Evil, are Following the Real Rules of the Casino, the Real Rules of the Universal Mind which are in fact Evil. The Only ones that can Change the System are the Human Beings Themselves by Cooperating as One group, changing the Nature of what exists as a random casino to a Directed Principled Existence where each one Gives according to what They would Like to Receive and each one Allows each other a Win-Win Scenario. In a Win-Win Scenario obviously a Casino Cannot Exist, the Universal Mind becomes irrelevant, God becomes Irrelevant, Spirituality becomes Irrelevant because it is about Your Own Spirit then – not some ‘Greater Spirit’ – You are the Great Spirit Being, You are that which is Universal and because Your actions of Giving as You would Like to Receive are Affecting Everyone else Universally, so you have Become That which Defines in your Desires ‘The Universe.’ But strange enough, in your own Secret mind, in your Silence where you are Competing for a Jackpot you will do Whatever it Takes, all types of Evil and then you’ll Lie about that as well. No One has ever Achieved a Jackpot or Wealth in this world Without having to Become Evil. But Everyone – once they have the Wealth, once they have the Jackpot – Will Praise some Made-up Benevolent Force and then they get the Majority to Believe this Bullshit. And this Dishonesty then obviously Causes what We have in the World today and what we’ve had in the world throughout History, Complete Inequality because Those that’s Got it All, They used Evil to get it, they Used the Dark Forces, they are the Dark Magicians and everybody else wants to be ‘the Light, the Magic and the White Magicians’ and Those that Do Not Follow the Rules of Creation on a Universal Mind within a Casino by following the Rules of Evil: They Simply Never Get the Jackpot.
So you have truly been Hijacked by Evil: the Evil of the Light. It’s the same as a Moth that’s been Hijacked by the Light, it continues going to the Light, Ignoring the Evidence that Going to the Light inevitably is going to Wear you out and you’re going to End up Dying and that it’s Getting you Nowhere: the Moth keeps on Going to the Light. That’s what the Lightworkers do, they create this Energy inevitably to Repeat themselves over and over and over again ‘Going to the Light’/ ‘Being the Light’ Trying to Attract Others to the Light… but only Those that are Evil within Themselves Actually will Make Money – but They will Never Tell you the Truth, they will Never Tell you what they Really Had to Do to Get the Money, to Get the wealth, to Get the superiority – they will Only Tell You the Lie so that you can think they were “Wonderful People! They Must be Good because Look at what they have!” Yes they Only Have it because They Played by Different Rules, they Played by the Rules of Evil, the Rules that Deliberately Harms others.

This is why it is Necessary that We Must Realize the Only Way to Bring about a Better World is to Stop what we’re doing and to Place a System into play that is Based on Principles and Mathematical Equations that Produces a Result that is Best for All within which We Embody the Principle of Giving as You would Like to Receive, placing this into Action and Making sure our Leaders Do Not Lie, Making sure that Those that Now have Wealth Do Not Become our Leaders because they will Not Tell you the Truth, they will Not Tell you How they Acquired the Money, they will Not give you the True history of things because: Even They Feel Bad about What They Had to Do.
And obviously they Don’t Want you to Know How to Acquire it because If you Become Evil = You will Compete for the Same Resources and you may Just Win, and then they got Nothing and they are in Your Position – they Don’t want to be in Your Position, they want to Keep you in Yours, Dear Slave, and they’re going to Make sure They Do. And all they have to Do is Control what’s Going on Inside your Mind, Control the Information, Control the Universal Mind; Publish the Books that Ensure that the Truth Does Not Come Out.

Study Desteni so that you can Learn All about The Truth, so that You can Learn What it Will Take to Bring about a New World. Make sure that You Get the Evidence the World Presents to you Every Day, and if you Already Have Money Know one thing: We know How You Got Your Money, We Know How You Got Your Wealth, None of it was Ever Benevolent, it’s Always just been Evil and there is One Benefit about Being on Earth: You Can’t Take Shit with you When you Die. And once you’re Dead, You Will Face your Consequences, there is No Way Out. You Cannot Buy your Redemption.
