Some people seem to become conscious at the first opportunity, or even if there is no opportunity to become conscious, they make one. Others cling to violence and insanity even as the bunker crumbles around them, as the universe gently prods them to change. How you look at the world, optimistically or pessimistically, given these disparate possibilities, is up to you. Stu, in the Trick to Money book, seemed kinda paranoid/pessimistic in his libertarianism, and in his Miracles book didn’t really challenge me one way or the other, and in this book actually seemed rather ‘positive’ and optimistic in his characteristic anti-authoritarian prosperity outlook, by no means always only paranoid libertarianism, you know. I actually had trouble believing things could be good ‘out there’ the way that he thought, you know. But, sometimes being challenged is a good thing.

…. I like the idea of ‘living richly’ first, even if you’re not literally making or spending that many literal dollars, and Then, going out and making a lot of real physical dollars, like someone does when they ‘live richly’.

…. And for all his charming roguery Stuart does believe in love. I do read ‘motor oil’ money books in addition to wispy ones like this, but sometimes the other kind gets stuck in fear and bad energy and, I don’t know, how can I have more money while being like everyone else? 🧐 But really abundance is about making people feel good: do that and there aren’t so many people like you, and if it’s just you, you make what you make, no limits. 🥳

…. I used to think that Stuart was a little too brief in a lot of his books, but now I just think he’s very quick to win the game he plays with himself, you know. —You can make money, and you can be a good person, and have fun. ~ There, you don’t have to block out huge blocks of time for that, right? I actually think some writers, including some practical/money writers, are too slow in wrapping things up. And in general, even, as much as I want to avoid feeling weird unnecessary guilt about liking to read and having long unread books and so on—I actually had this efficiency-guilt attack once that I was reading all these long books that I wasn’t going to finish, so I abandoned three or four of them, so I wouldn’t have “too many books”, and maybe except in, well, at least in one case it was unnecessary; life isn’t about expunging guilt through efficiency, right—but on the other hand, going through many many very long books that don’t need to be so damn long or so numerous in your closet can muddle up your energy, you know: all these Stephen King books that tackling can be a bit like going into Iraq or something—there’s no exit strategy…. Not saying he’s a terrible guy or whatever; maybe a little angry and self-important, but I have seen him do promotion-quotes on books that I thought were actually done quite well.

This was apparently Stuart Wilde’s first book. Like his other books, it basically is about practical success from a metaphysical angle, and Stuart counsels personal power and spirituality rather than societal thinking and doubt. I’ve probably come to be more like Stuart over time. For example, while I am a Christian and he is totally independent, I don’t chaff at him not wanting to call things sin, for example, (he does say we should live from what we consider our highest to be), because although some things can be damaging, labeling can accelerate this process, and also I think that the societal conception of what sin is (or what’s gossip-worthy) often assumes that low-energy, sleepiness, is just always better than any sort of messiness, while sometimes a little temporary disorder is just energy being exchanged, you know…. You have to use your discernment to see if there’s actual malice or bad intent, which admittedly sometimes there is, not least because high-energy people often absorb, internalize and project the guilt assigned to them. The best course of action of how to handle controversial energy isn’t always clear, but often the least good and least safe place to have that conversation is with the traditionally religious in the institutional church. God, himself, however, is freedom…. Stuart thinks of God as a force, the God-force, because he implicitly sees that personalizing of God as being the root of our churchy, I don’t know, distinctions and favoritism, which God as a force can’t have. I do think of God as personal in a way, although I think he’s much more “impersonal” (and also gender-fluid) in his disposition than we give him credit for.

But the book isn’t about God for the sake of appreciating one’s own holiness, but for the purposes of practicality. (Yes, pretty much ANY sort of energy is something that the traditional institutional church isn’t comfortable with. “Please give us some money.” “Here’s some money.” “Money! Ah! /dirty/ stuff! /takes/ Well, at least you aren’t having any /fun/ with it. /makes face/.) So it’s like his other books in that it’s about personal power and metaphysical prosperity. It’s different from the other books I’ve read by him in that it’s much shorter (it says 160 pages, although it feels like half that, although the ebook I bought only cost $4 and it feels to me to lean a little bit more to concise rather than sparse), and that it doesn’t have the explicit political/libertarian leanings he sometimes has. He still wants to have money and be free, but it doesn’t have the political-speech-in-the-barroom quality at least occasionally present in other books.

But anyway, he gives some good advice at times, useful stuff, right. If you read it you might walk away with a different point, but what got me this time was the idea of not just writing down goals but /carrying them with you/, and looking at them once each in the morning and night, /and also once in the middle of the day/. And I’ve started to do that.

Stuart although he combines several threads, is overall in politics and theory a little more ‘libertarian’ than I am, but I don’t think he’s a dishonest, incompetent or wasteful-of-time person to listen to, you know. Politics is often why people want to advance in society, but the method—here a sort of alternative prosperity, not unlike Deepak, who’s more left of center—isn’t something that can’t be transferred…. Which is I guess why most corporations, although they have steady preferences about things like taxes, do their best to some extent to get supporters on both sides. The effect is often a sort of superficiality, it’s true, but pure military-political-journalism control would lead to a lot more fighting and even blood-letting. I’ve always been the sort to try to take the good, and improve on it, despite the very real distortions of the system, and even the rich. Stuart doesn’t actually ever come that close to saying that the rich are all happy and helpful, just that you can become richer, happier, and more helpful.

Personally there’s also a big reason for me to read him, which is why it’s always been hard for me to read him. I found out about him through Wayne, who’s an (evolved) codependent, and despite Stuart and Wayne being similar enough that they could be in a band, Stuart doesn’t have the same energy; he’s much rather be a black hat if it came to that, rather than fawn and flatter, if it came to that. They’re both successful, but Stuart’s energy fed Wayne and I know it could feed me, if I allow it to get past my defenses.

…. As for Stu’s philosophy, well, first for the politics part: I generally find libertarians to be a little exaggerated and comic, (in this age there do have to be a certain amount of grey bureaucrats to do the dull grey work, and some of them are in government, so the libertarians stand up in the middle of the pub and give a speech about men and liberty, you know 🗽), and certainly Stuart is part of that; he’s wild. But there are some good aspects to his philosophy, and not all in the not-specifically-libertarian bits.

Which leads into the other part, for example about yin and yang—although he’s very sparing about guru words, but they’re good words, quiet feminine yin and expansive masculine yang. Stuart says there’s an imbalance, and over-abundance of yang, in society, and of course he’s right. Even in the academy you have that, with the “hard sciences”, and clearly that’s not the only example. But I think it’s more personal than he implies: some people have too much yin. The new age subculture often has too much yin (not, incidentally, the same as a non-mistreatment of women situation), and Wild Stu is kinda the yang element in there himself. I myself have too much yin energy—not to such a fundamentalist extent as a femme mystique girl or boy (although I was one once, ten years ago), but even the scholar—at least the sort of scholar I am, often has too much yin. Stay at home, read books, feel safe. Of course, reading and writing can indeed be productive activity, but everything has its shadow, and the yin scholar often spends too much time on, stay at home, read books, feel safe. If you don’t have a serious in some sense goal of practical mastery and practical spirituality and ideas, and not Just the aspect that is different from that, well, it opens up the question as to whether or not you’re making a mistake….

Even Thoreau in Walden, which I just started awhile ago, opens the essays with one called Economics or something; it’s personal economics, and it’s Thoreau, and it’s Walden, you know. It’s worth thinking about. Of course, accepting is as important as having, and it’s always possible that you might die on some day you didn’t expect to have to, and spiritually and really it might not be a bad thing, but if a sea crawler grabs your leg, and holds you under, trying to drown you, is it not prudent—and appropriate—even as you understand that you don’t need, on some level to pump fear toxins into your body and attack yourself, (I mean, either in your body or in your mind you accept that the fear toxins aren’t helpful), but also, prudently, appropriately, try to get your head above water so that you can live; you go all-in and use up your energy reserves because we came to this place to live, right.

In this book, Stuart Wilde shows you that money is merely a form of energy, and that the difference between having it and not having it is merely a small but subtle shift in consciousness (in fact, one woman claims she won $1.7 million in the lottery using the techniques presented within these pages). Like his other highly successful books, this work is chock full of useful information and practical ideas. His breezy and comical style makes for effortless reading as you plot your path to complete financial freedom.… (mais)
