MOTIVATING CHILDREN NOT TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT BECOMING WEALTHY

Many children grow up feeling guilty about becoming wealthy.
I believe the way we teach our children disangages them from money.
It discourages them from having wealth because we condition them that it is wrong to be
wealthy. Our language is made up of hundreds of proverbs that illustate this conditioning,
for an example, 'The meek will inherit the earth.' But of course, that is not true,
the universe is neutral, it is not emotionally involved with how much money you have or you
do not have. If you are doing well financially then your wealth will help others because you will
be contributing to the community, spending money and hiring people. You know you are
actually helping the world by becoming powerful.

So if you imagine a small baby and it is lying there, constantly recording information and it has
been born to parents who think working hard is honourable. Then you can see that this small
child begins to record the belief patterns of its parents and it has no volition to stop it.
In other words the baby has no control over what information they record. So if the mum and
dad are fighting over the rent, that is in their subconcious mind. If the mother is into saving
and clipping little coupons and there is a big stack of them in the kitchen, what is going on
inside the baby's mind, is 'If I do not save coupons, there will not be enough to eat.
Now, I am not saying that you should waste stuff, because I do not agree with that, but the
main idea is we take on the concepts of our environment.

This is because often our fathers and mothers came out of a generation when there was a
depression, when there was a shortage of money and food, so they are not able to express a
more fluid understanding of money. Today, we are living in one of the largest capitalist societies
in the world. There are millions and billions of dollars circulating at any one time and we still
take on these rediculous beliefs tha have been handed down through the ages.
