The Truth About Living Podcast08/04/17 • 30 min
Extraordinary...This book title by Dr. John F. Demartini may be off-putting at first, but the contents inside are pure gold. From understandings of the nature of God, reality, our universe, light waves, and particles, the realization of religions of the world amassing vast wealth, the inherent spiritual nature of materials and vice versa, even going deeper to the beliefs we hold, the contents in Chapter 1 will astound you. Bridgett reads from Chapter 1.
10 Key Takeaways (Excerpts from How to Make One Hell of a Profit and Still Get to Heaven by Dr. John F. Demartini)
- Like all great quests, the search for spiritual and financial wealth begins with a question. So what what the hell does heaven have to do with wealth? Let’s find out.
- Heaven represents a heartfelt state of appreciation, fulfillment and presence, which means being in the here and now, not in the future with imagined fear or in the past with remembered guilt. This heartfelt state arises from a perception of balance, harmony and order. When you know that everything around and within you is in a state of order, you feel grateful and fulfilled. You think and act with grace and poise, and you live with love and appreciation. This is a powerfully creative and magnetic state in which to be.
- Gratitude for the blessings of life awakens a deep sense of worthiness, belonging and knowing that you have a special and meaningful mission to fulfill. As you grow in appreciation and love, you trust yourself. And this underlying order in your latent talents spontaneously begin to blossom. In fact, it’s only a perceived lack of self-love that keeps them hidden.
- Heaven is this state of uplifted and enlightened spirit. A heavenly state occurs whenever you acknowledge that life’s underlying magnificence and order is available everywhere and anytime no matter what the apparent circumstances. You or any individual or company that understands this will inevitably prosper.
- Whenever you perceive that your life is filled with chaos, you experience non-fulfillment and you feel powerless. At such times, you repel people and opportunities. You imagine that you are struggling in “hell” and you react with what I call dis-grace, which not only means to be out of favor, dishonored or shamed but also includes not being grateful, inspired and in communion with divinity because of judgment, distortion, misperception or misinterpretation.
- Both heaven and hell are states of mind, one ordered and the other disordered. You have the ability to choose which of these states you would love to live in.
- One of the great secrets of the universe is that everything is in perfect order already. The only thing keeping you out of heaven with all of its spiritual and material bounties is a lack of awareness and appreciation of that divine order. However, when you appreciate your life, your life actually increases or appreciates in value, and your self-worth and self-love grow. Through such appreciation, your station in life is automatically elevated.
- You’d be wise to make your spiritual life a business and your business life a spiritual experience. In other words, incorporate your heart, mind and soul into your business. Put your spirit into your work. Pour on your inspiration.
- Love and appreciation are powerful magnetic forces. If you don’t know how to love and appreciate wealth, if you unconsciously resist and mistrust it, by misunderstanding its true nature, why would it be drawn to you? But when you transcend any limiting illusions about wealth and embrace it as a manifestation of spirit-matter, it walks right up and offers itself to you.
- When spirit (cause) and matter (effect) come equally and fully together in your consciousness, heaven is born. If you would love to get to heaven, you would be wise to learn how to love and appreciate spiritual matter including its earthly form called wealth.
