The Truth About Money

Money is not a substance. It is a current.

It is a neutral measure of energy transfer. It is electricity. It does not care if it powers a hospital or an electric chair; it only cares that the circuit is complete.

1. The Chase vs. The Flow

Chasing is an act of Repulsion.

When you chase, you vibrate at the frequency of "I do not have."

Signal: "I need."

Response: The world senses the neediness (a vacuum) and instinctively protects its resources. Neediness smells like theft.

Those who attract money do not chase it. They become the place where money naturally lands.

• They provide Value (Potential Energy).
• They have Permission (Open Circuit).

Money does not just flow to "low resistance." It flows to Certainty. A confident narcissist with zero guilt often out-earns a humble saint with high value but low self-worth. The variable is Permission. The Chaser has not given himself permission to have, only to want.

2. The Objective vs. The Side Effect

Can money be the objective?

Yes.

Money is amoral. You can make it your primary target and succeed wildly without burning out, provided you do not hate the process of getting it.

• The Ego: Uses money as a prosthetic for self-worth. "I am rich, therefore I am good." This is a fragile trap.
• The Sovereign: Views money as a strategic resource or a high score. He can focus entirely on making money for a season to buy his freedom.

The danger is not in making money the goal. The danger is making money the Identity. If you love the game of business, you can chase the score forever. If you hate the game but want the points, you will suffer.

3. The Mechanics of Attraction

Money flows through a specific circuit:

• Competence: Can you solve the problem?
• Certainty: Do you know you can solve the problem? (Doubt breaks the circuit).
• Visibility: Do people know you can solve the problem? (Money flows to Attention. Competence in a cave pays zero).
• Capacity: Can you hold the energy of wealth without freaking out? (The Thermostat).

4. Why You Stay Poor

You stay poor because you have a use for poverty.

• It protects you from the demands of others ("I can't help you, I'm broke").
• It protects you from the demands of your own potential ("I can't take that risk, I have no capital").
• It validates your identity as the "Noble Victim."

To attract money, you must become a person for whom wealth is mundane.

If wealth is exciting, you have put it on a pedestal. If it is on a pedestal, you are beneath it.

Money must become as boring and essential as air. You don't chase air. You breathe it.
