Spiritual Explanation of Wealth
This article is the second in the series explaining wealth. The first was the scientific explanation. So what do I mean by the spiritual explanation. This concentrates on the individual and pays no attention to what or who is around us. It starts off by saying that "anyone" can be rich. Notice it doesn`t say "everyone" can be rich.

The laws of economics still apply of course but those who follow the tenet that anyone can be rich try to put forward some kind of magical or spiritual method which if you follow it to the letter, you cannot possibly fail.

Let me just make something clear before we go any further. You will know that there are countless books, ebooks, magazines, articles, commercials, infomercials, ads, banners, links, websites and probably many others with all sorts of weird and wonderful things written by people who claim to have found the answer and are using it to make thousands ? and if you want to know the secret they will let you have it for a small fee. You will forgive me for a small indulgence but as soon as I wrote the last sentence and read it back to myself I couldn`t help bursting into laughter. Suffice to say that people are still falling for this trick and there are valid reasons for it.

Pretending That Getting Rich is a Mechanical Process
What do I mean by this? I mean that if we do happen to buy into one of these methods, all we have to do is follow a simple set of rules and at the end of it we are rich. This belongs in the realm of fairies. For a start, why would the person selling you this book give away such a secret for such a small amount. Why? Ask yourself. WHY? If such a secret were to exist and it really did work, WHY on this earth would anyone possibly want to share it with thousands of others ? for a small fee. They would simply use the method, get rich and keep using it to get even richer. This is human nature. But the answer is, as always, in the small print. The small fee, multiplied by the thousands of people falling for it constitutes a big fee.

But you know, I believe that the majority of the instigators of such things are largely misguided themselves. No doubt some have become rich but they have done it by breaking a golden rule. Business with ethics. All that you are buying, if you decide to spend this small fee, is hope.

An Analogy to make you Laugh
Permit me to give you a farcical analogy. We are all sitting at the beach, lying down, day-dreaming and relaxing when all of a sudden you are approached by someone with a beaming smile holding a bucket full of water. He says that if you purchase this bucket of water, you will have something that only the privileged few know about. You are intrigued, not because the idea is good but by the sheer audacity of it. So you inquire a little and he goes into a long-winded explanation giving you endless examples of who else bought it and how happy they are and how he?s going to furnish you with about 50 other bonus gifts if only you could be persuaded.

Your intrigue now turns into curiosity driven by a single thought whirling around in your head ? "what if it`s true". It won`t cost too much to find out. So you buy the bucket of water and a set of instructions. All you have to do is find an apple seed (not difficult to do but you can buy this from him as well if you want), plant it into fertile ground, but be sure to use the water you have just bought to water it. It will grow into a lovely tree and from its seed you will plant many other trees and before you know it you own a beautiful apple grove. You sell the fruit and become rich.

Conclusion
The conclusion is that there is NO spiritual explanation for creating wealth. Anyone who wishes to convince you otherwise, especially if you have to part with money in the process, is at best misguided and at worst is employing a cheap emotional trick to sell you nothing more than some silly idea. I implore of you not to fall for this. The internet is awash with it and there is no end to the email spamming that goes on in connection with this sort of thing.
