What Goes Around, Comes Around

A long time ago I overheard a discussion about money and how it flows. The context was how, if all wealth (a.k.a. money) was suddenly dispersed in equal amounts to everyone, it would take about two years for the money (a.k.a. wealth) to return to those that initially created it.

In the ensuing decades I’ve kept that discussion on a back-burner, so to speak. I know, and you probably do as well, folks who always create (attract) money. Some manage it well (in the opinion of outsiders) and others don’t or can’t. Yet regardless, money continues to find them. Or, in many cases, money remains elusive. In effect, money (property) comes to those who have a consciousness for it. And visa-versa.

The constant is consciousness and not the amount of material substance. Such is an ancient conundrum – those that have, prosper, and those without, lose what they have. The two conditions are not linked and have nothing to do with one another.

Quick side-bar: This is about money, not happiness or other quality of Life factor. Many folks have a wonderful consciousness to attract Joy and delight but may not have the easy attraction for wealth. And visa-versa. As one wag remarked (also a long time ago) “would you rather have a million dollars or a millions friends?” Duh. A friend would likely spot you a buck and you’d have a lot of people to play with.

Through the years I’ve come to accept the conclusion of that long-ago discussion. No one can take from you anything that your consciousness is attuned. On the other hand, no one can give you anything that your consciousness can’t accept. Whatever is “given” simply won’t remain. The universal Law of Attraction trumps.
