It's about MORE than material wealth

It's about MORE than material wealth
Audio version

Material wealth can only do so much because of its 
tangible limits. It’s something that should be used, 
but it’s not the ends nor the crucial means for 
individual or aggregate social problems.

One thing I’ve noticed about the so-called “wealthy” is 
how sensory consumptive they are. Their ability to go, 
see, and experience things first-hand for the moment 
or in the ‘happening-moment’ is something that they 
do for their sense of aesthetic fulfillment. There IS a 
significance to first-hand, empirical interaction. Yet, it 
is most profound when You are the actor, than the 
audience as the observer. At the same time, I am not 
extolling the commercial exhibitions put on by 
professional performers or athletes-no matter the artistry 
of their performance. Their pure artistry, sans the 
monetary compensation given for it, is the abstract, 
intangible that is the internal benefit for the 
athlete-actor or their audience, fan base.

The skill and elegance of the effort is the rabbit-hole of 
focus. It is that singularity of body-mind-n-soul devotion, 
in its own unique and ingenious, individual heterodoxy 
that is the means for the ends of conscious aspirations 
of consciousness; NOT the social ‘-isms’ which would seek 
what would be a paradigm to be the efficient singular 
“rod-n-staff’ for all to be: very modeled- like a herd of 
docile, compliant beasts.

The feasible ends which both want, but which one is 
much more benign in its radiated effects, would be a 
coherent stream of consciousness, that now  I will label 
“a current of consciousness”. It’s a current because it’s 
similarity to an electrical current in which the affecting 
field produces corresponding effects as that of an electrical 
field. When the individual establishes their current of 
consciousness, their analogous electrical field, of their 
mindset produces the charisma and aura, which we 
ascribe to them.


The charisma and aura that interests me is that which 
becomes the catalyst, ‘gold mine’ of inspiration for an 
innumerable number of people, who in their own ingenious, 
ingenuity will create their own aura and charisma of 
thought that would be the chain reaction effect upon others. 
This, in large measure, becomes the ‘100 monkey syndrome’, 
in which a leap of consciousness that is qualitative in its 
manifestation, than just materially quantitative. It is 
THIS wealth, which derives not from the external trappings 
one controls or possesses, but that which one creates from 
one’s own viscerally-based efforts.

It reminds me of this verse from the Gospel of Matthew, 
Chapter 11, verse 8: 8 But what went ye out for to see? 
A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear 
soft clothing are in kings' houses.

These viscerally-based efforts are the subtle and humble 
and mostly indistinguishable outside the recognized 
context of their achievement,, and they’re anonymous. 
Such wealth is far from celebrated and exhibited for its 
fame, but is done in the steadfast discipline of the 
meaningfulness and logic of its purpose for the 
meaningfulness to the ‘current of consciousness’, the gem 
of our individual vitality.
