nothing of the world’s goods for whatever good I’ve given the world. My idea is that this would
somehow render it worthy.
Do You see how insidious this is? I’ve set up a construction in which I ask other people to
value that for which I would take nothing of value.
Yet how can I expect others to value what I do not? That is not a question I ask myself It is
too deep for me, too close to the core issue. And what value do I place on myself if I believe I
must suffer for others to see my value? Another core issue. Another topic to ignore.
But, since You’ve raised the issue, I ask: Is Ted Turner less valuable than Mother Teresa? Is
George Soros less of a good person than Ché Rivera? Are the politics of Jesse Jackson, who
appears to have plenty of the good things in life, less worthy than the politics of Václav Havel,
who may have less? Should the Pope, whose very garments cost more than it would take to
feed a poor child for a year, have his words called blasphemy because he lives like a king as
the head of a church which owns billions?
Ted Turner and George Soros have given away millions of dollars. They’ve empowered the
dreams of humanity with the rewards of their own dreams, lived.
To empower the dreams of humanity with the living of our own dreams. What a magnificent
idea!
Jesse Jackson has brought hope to millions with the hope that brought him to a place of
great influence. The Pope has inspired people throughout the world and would be no more
inspirational to the world’s Catholics (indeed, conceivably, a great deal less) were he to
appear in rags.
So I have come to terms with the fact that the CWG experience has brought me more of the
good things in life—and given me more of the good things to share.
I want to point out here, however, that the publication of these books was not the cause of
this happening. You put the cause into place before the books were published. In fact, that is
why they were published and why they became so popular.
Yes, I see that this is true.
You can be sure that it is. Your life, and your reality around money—and all good things—
changed when you changed.
They changed for you when you changed your mind about them.
Well, now, you see, I thought that You did that. I keep telling people that these books became
popular because You wanted them to be. In fact, I’m kind of attracted to the idea that this was
all the will of God.
Of course, you are. That relieves you of responsibility for it, and, furthermore, gives the whole
thing higher credential. So I hate to burst your bubble here, but this was not My idea.
It wasn’t?
No. it was yours.
