Out of 220+ books, this is easily one of the best books I have ever read! I have reread it a few times now, and I will continue to.

A Happy Pocket Full of Money is filled with nothing but one perspective shifting idea after the next! I first heard about it while listening to a podcast. The creator was interviewing a guest and when the book got mentioned they both had nothing but great things to say about it.

I've read a fair number of books in the last few years but I've recently noticed that many of them fall into the self development category. I don't have anything against self development but in order to really expand my knowledge, and open mindedness I should be branching out more into other genres. Exploring different topics- even if you only graze the surface, is a great way to increase your overall understanding of the world.

Chances are I'm going to learn a lot more from one really good book on a topic I have not explored yet like quantum physics, than I would from my 46th personal development book. In this case wealth was the topic I wanted to learn more about.

That being the case when I heard A Happy Pocket Full of Money was a must read, and it covered an area I haven't read much into, I immediately felt the urge to buy it. As always, I checked Amazon and Goodreads and the positive reviews further reassured me that I was making a good choice.

Something that I found to be a pleasant surprise about the book is the fact that it covered a lot more topics than just money and wealth. A Happy Pocket Full of Money feels more like a series of books combined into one because of the variety of topics it covers. The book dives into topics such as consciousness, gratitude, giving, purpose, success, cause and effect, certainty, abundance, quantum physics, visualization, goals and much more.

If I could only recommend one book to somebody, this one would be it. The variety of topics, clarity, ease of understanding, and degree to which these ideas shifted my thinking easily makes this one of the most valuable books I have ever read.

Throughout the book in big bold letters is the phrase "I am wealth, I am abundance, I am joy". I thought this was a fun way to almost force the reader to recite the positive affirmation over and over again.

The following are some of the key ideas that I found to be very helpful in shifting my perspective on life.

For those that haven't read the book I hope this will convince you to pick up a copy. For those that have, feel free to use these notes to remind you of many of the key concepts in this book.

Notes + Summary

The Truth about Time

The only time that exists is "NOW".
Our evolution as beings is about increasing our consciousness.
Two contradicting and accurate truths CAN exist.
There is no time. All events in the universe happen simultaneously. Time is local to the observer (you).
Time is directly related to consciousness. Expanded consciousness allows you to take in more events at any given moment.

Images of the Mind: Life's Blueprint

Your mind's images are the blueprint for the world you create.
Life is images of the mind expressed.
The world is designed to enable you to experience yourself, your ideas and their consequences.
Life uses your imagination to know what to create next.
The conscious mind creates impressions on the subconscious through repetition, faith, belief and certainty. The subconscious mind manifests these impressions.
Your world is the densest part of your mind expressed.
Suffering is a result of an error in thinking. It is to alert you of a higher thought that serves you better.
Repetition breeds internalization, it embeds the information in your subconscious.
Be specific, don't change your mind often, it causes the universe to produce confused results.
What you resist persists. Admit what is true then immediately work towards correcting the errors in your thinking that lead to your present circumstances. Admit that in the past you had these less than optimal thoughts.
Do not state your errors in the present tense.
You create your reality. Thought takes time to manifest into the physical. Your present reality is an illusion that allows you to look at yourself so that you can go on to create a better version of yourself. What you see in your life was designed from various points in your past.
Present results are the effects of previous thoughts.
Prayer is clear intention, certainty, gratitude and detachment.

Goals

Set new goals that are higher than your present reality. Your goals are the prophecy for what you will become.
Hard work alone is not the key to wealth. Wealth consciousness as a whole is the key. Goal setting in the right way is the map.
Enjoy your old successes, be grateful for what you have achieved and don't worry that you will lose them.
Wealth consciousness is a lifestyle.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. Master the skill of setting goals and visualizing them.
You are a soul with a body not a body with a soul.
You can never have too many goals, the more you set, the more you get. Nothing is impossible or difficult for the source, goals have a tendency to come true in the unexpected times and sequences, the more goals you have the more interesting your life will be.
Wealth is abundance expressed (abundance means plenty of everything).
You are an observer, all you do is observe and experience. You are an observer with a body to experience your observations. What you choose to observe and experience determines the things that you will observe and experience. It's there for you automatically, choose many things and you will see many things.
Life's ultimate goal is to express itself and it does this effortlessly.
Money is a shadow of value, a medium of exchange.
Know that Life/God/The Source only says "yes" to you. The only questions are "What are you asking for?" and "Do you believe it?"

Being

Step one of the wealth creation process is Being. Being is a state. Being: that from which thought springs.
Thinking is step two of the wealth creation process.
Being wealthy is the first step to experiencing massive wealth. Being wealthy is an internal state. The internal state is a decision you make right now. You don't need anything outside yourself to be wealthy. At this very moment you can choose to be happy or you can look for something in the outside world that would make you happy or you can instantly decide to be happy. You can make the decision.
Thought comes from Being. A state of Being causes thought. A state of hunger causes thoughts of hunger. Being just is. Thought is doing. It doesn't take time to be but it takes time for thoughts to turn things into being. The fastest way to wealth is Being wealthy now. Decide right now to be wealthy, do it with certainty regardless of any evidence to the contrary. Declare knowingly and certainly that you are wealthy.
You are not your conditions, you simply cause them.
Your state, how you feel about yourself, your being is the fastest way to acquire wealth.
Expect to experience massive success.
Money is not real, it represents value. 4% of the money exists in physical form (cash and coins). The other 96% exists as numbers written on paper and in computers. The system remains intact only because we believe in it.
Look at the value in you and in people.
Wealth consciousness is the portion of internal value a person has about money. It is an expansion of your consciousness and your awareness into the wealthy parts of yourself.
Wealth consciousness automatically converts into cash money when you expand your wealth consciousness, act on it and be it. The opportunities for the conversion into cash will present themselves into your life.
The world is inside you, nothing and no one slows you down and speeds you up except yourself. If you can understand this you will change your world. Wealth is much easier to obtain than you believe it is. It is a matter of taming your mind.

"Success is something you attract by the person you become". - Jim Rohn

The mind should only be used when necessary. You should be an observer not a thinker.
Don't judge your mind. In the moment of "now" you may have events, but not problems. Problems exist in the mind, in your thoughts. Nothing in "Now" is a problem. As soon as you worry about the future and identify with it you start having "problems". The future does not exist, it is in your mind. You think of it "now" when you experience it "now" not any other time. Turn off your mind when you are not using it. When you are present/Being you are of no mind. You are in the "Now".
Stages of Creation: Being, Thinking, Speaking + Writing, Acting

Acting

Action is the last step in the creation process.
The 1st step in creating anything is vibration. Everything vibrates and by that vibration you attract experiences to yourself. You experience happy conditions because you are happy, not the other way around. Wealth comes to you because of your wealth consciousness.
Your feelings show you your vibration. How you feel determines what you attract to you.
Always do your best. Even the smallest action can lead to great opportunities for you.
Ideas are worthless without action.
Intention starts the creation of wealth, action allows you to receive it. Action makes it possible to receive what is coming your way from intention. Take action!
Acting doesn't create. It is a process of receiving and experiencing.
You first create a business in your Self and Being. Followed by your thoughts and actions. Through action you set up a system in order to receive and experience what you have created in physical form.
Do not try to do something. Just do it. Or don't. If you only try to do something the Universe can only try to give you a result. But if you set out to resolve to do something then the Universe will respond in kind.
You always have some idea of what the next steps you should be doing are. You can't progress to subsequent steps without taking that first step. After you take the first step the next one will become clear to you.
Act as if you are already the person you want to be.

"Opportunities increase as they are taken" - Sun Tzu

Certainty

Certainty, faith, and belief, are a necessary part of creating anything.
You can't become a state without certainty. You can't be happy if you're unsure that you're happy.
Faith is similar to being in a state. You can't speak or do it, you can only be faithful. You simply decide to just like any other decision you make. Don't allow any other thoughts to interfere with your decision.
Everything is possible to the extent that you are certain.
Persistence breeds faith. Use persistence to grow your faith. Persistence strengthens you and reinforces your belief.
Never entertain thoughts of doubt and fear. Be aware of these thoughts, don't resist them or side with them. Be detached from them. Observe them with curiosity. What's their origin, what triggered them, what are they? By acknowledging them objectively you rob them of their power.
Fear is false evidence appearing real

False

Evidence

Appearing

Real

There is nothing to be afraid of. Your Self is indestructible and has anything you could possibly want.
If you ever feel fearful, know that it is an illusion and work to find what the illusion is. Look at fear in the eye and find the false evidence of it.
Our Self does not lack anything, but we are clouded by an illusion here on Earth as to how things manifest. One of your purposes on Earth is to overcome this illusion.
If you find yourself to be broke, know that it is temporary and understand that it comes with very important lessons and opportunities for positive change.
"Faith is the only known antidote for failure" -Napoleon Hill
To create Faith repeat affirmations throughout the day everyday and your subconscious will believe.
Worry is fear and it puts negative images in your mind and manifests the very thing you are worrying about.
The best way to do away with fear is to face it head on. Break it down to its smallest parts and see where the illusion lies.
Before a problem ever occurs it is solved.
There is no reason to worry. You know the Universe runs on certain laws, you know these laws never fail, so if you learn and apply these laws then there is no reason to worry. You can predict your outcome based on your application of the laws.
Worry only attracts that which you do not want, it is a self fulfilling prophecy.

Cause and Effect

Cause and Effect: is the most important law of the universe, the law is multiplicative.
What you cause others to experience, you will experience magnified. If you cause others to experience wealth and happiness, you will experience wealth and happiness multiplied. This applies to every experience imaginable.
You are at cause for everything that happens in your life whether you are conscious of it or not.
The more you cause others in Wealth the more you will have in wealth effortlessly. Whatever you wish to get, give it away first, whatever you wish to have, cause another to have it first.
Karma: the law of cause and effect, what you do unto others you do unto yourself.
When you harm someone you harm yourself, why would you wish to harm yourself?
If you allow others choices and consequences to override your own you will share the same consequences they receive. If you make your own choices about everything you will enjoy your own outcomes.
Nothing you see is real. It is an illusion created so you can see your thoughts and state of being first hand so you can purify them.
Change your mind and you change your world. Change your Self and you change your world.
Everything is a cause that has an effect, and vice versa.
Avoid guilt, it ruins your focus and competence. Do NOT dwell on the past, just choose to act correctly next time.
Forgive others, it releases you from a negative karmic cycle, then your energy can be used towards other positive things.
The reason you have an idea is partly because others caused it.
When you visualize something you wish to have someone Is visualizing the same thing as something they wish to sell. (As someone who gets strong hits of inspiration all the time, I LOVE this concept so much 😭 and soooo often when I think about certain people who haven't posted on social media in a while, the very first thing I see when I go on is one of their posts).
The next time you have an inspiration, be happy knowing that someone or group of people are actively asking you and waiting for you to fulfill their desires. Somewhere around the world people are praying for something you are inspired to do. You are the answer to the prayers and they are the answer to yours.
We are all gifts and miracles to each other.

Conditions are Illusions

Everything you can possibly imagine and more, already exists and it exists at this very moment. That includes wealthy you and non wealthy you. The thing is you are only conscious of one of these versions of you.
To think outside the box (your past conditioning, experiences etc.) drop any previous construction and belief you have about how to do something.
Things only look like coincidences and accidents to those who don't see the truths behind them.
Detachment: not preferring anything then what is happening now, but knowing you can and are able to choose your future.
Being detached from an outcome allows nature to work for you.
Calmness enables you to have the right thoughts, it is your true nature, it is confidence, it is clear and open. It can be internalized by knowing and practicing the laws of life.
New truth can be found in the deepest moments of suffering. But suffering is not a necessary part of life. It is your Self's way of communicating to you when you've refused to listen to subtle clues in the past. This is so you can correct your errors.
Conditions are an illusion. You cause conditions. If you believe in conditions then they will be in your life. They only exist because these are the beliefs you hold in your mind and your beliefs always manifest into physical form.
You don't have to pass through conditions. Conditions are not law, they do not exist.
Wealth is first a state of being, it is then experienced. Wealth is not created because of certain conditions. Certain conditions are created because of wealth consciousness. The state/beingness creates the condition.
Avoid judging things as right or wrong. Things are just things. You choose to classify them as one or the other.

Success: You Can Never Fail

Failure is an illusion, success is all there is.
Failure seen without fear is a learning process. Without failure you would not know how to succeed nor would you enjoy the success to come.
Failure works to strengthen your thought and character. It eliminates weakness.
Gain and loss are two sides of the same coin. There wouldn't be gain without loss. Loss is either an error in your thinking which enables you to learn and grow or it is your higher Self leading you to a better opportunity.
Failure is essential to success, it helps you refine your ideas, the path you should take.
Failure is a successive moment that leads to ultimate success.
Failure is success. It is simply on the opposite end of the spectrum like hot is too cold. Both indicate temperature. Failure and success are both measures of achievement.
If you accept defeat then failure is the end. But if you persist and accept failure as a part of the process, knowing that success awaits, then you can never possibly fail.

Desire

Desire but never want.
Wanting is a belief in not having.
Wanting tells you and the universe that you lack something and it says that you are in a state of not having something. You can never get what you want while in the wanting state, you have to first shift out of the wanting state. This is ALWAYS the case.
Stop saying you "want" things. This keeps you in a state of constantly feeling like you lack something.
Avoid the state of wanting just as you avoid the word. Desire, wish, have passion or intention, but don't want.
Practicing intention, certainty and detachment will bring happiness and wealth to your life.
Different forms of wanting include: regretting the past, wishing things are/were different, wanting or worrying and consciously focusing on the past or future.

Your Purpose

Purpose/Destiny is the thing your Self chose to come do here on Earth.
Find your Purpose: take time to think about what gives you the most joy, what you have a great deal of passion for, think of the activity not the career/job description. Envision this, make goals and take small steps towards working towards your vision.
Working within your purpose is a guaranteed way to enjoy your work.
You have as many purposes as you feel you have, you aren't restricted to just one.

Giving

Give cheerfully and freely. Give first before you receive. Give time, money, smiles, love, compliments.
Give graciously and receive gratefully.
Give what you wish to have and you will receive it multiplied.
Give spontaneously and habitually.
It's ok to expect a reward from the Universe.

Gratitude

All of life is a gift.
Your gratitude attracts the thing you are grateful for. It communicates to the Universe that you are faithful and you believe that you will get what you want.
Accept everything you have already, and love the present moment. This frees you to be grateful for the present and all the gifts it brings which keeps you in a state of attracting all that you desire.

Consciousness

Consciousness: you experience what you are awake to.
Consciousness is a set of attributes that enable you to awake to a state of being or set of experiences. You can't experience what you are asleep to.
You have access to the greatest creative forces when your conscious, subconscious, and super conscious are aligned in thought and action.
Raise your consciousness to all three levels of your Self and you will become aware of your actions that were once subconscious.
Be aware and deliberate in your thoughts and actions.
Practice mindfulness meditation often to train your ability to maintain this mental awareness.
Be aware of your Self (superconscious): By paying attention to your feelings, and becoming aware of your thoughts you will begin to understand your subconscious choices.
If these 3 levels all send you different signals it leads to confusion. If you raise your awareness on all 3 levels then you can think and act with much more ease and clarity.
Money is created by increasing the value inside you. You experience money by exchanging the value you have in you (through services, goods, money).
Remember your true Self is abundant by nature.
Money is a medium of exchange for your uniquely developed internal value.
Build internal value and exercise it to build external wealth.
Components of internal value: Faith, certainty, imagination, inquiry and focus.
Taking action transforms inner value to outer value (wealth).
The collective consciousness influences your wealth and happiness. Some events (often large ones), are caused by the thoughts and consciousness of people around you and in your world. We are ultimately all one. The likelihood that we encounter good opportunities and events is increased when the consciousness of those around us is on a higher level.
Meditation is one of the best ways to become healthy and happy. It strengthens your connection with your higher Self. You begin to effortlessly embody the teachings in this book.

Self: The Architect of your Universe

Everything arises from your Self. Your Self/Spirit/Soul is the real you.
Your personality, body and ego are temporary tools.
Everything comes from your Self, your thoughts, desires.
What you resist persists. What you accept and examine mindfully ceases to burden you.
What you truly believe manifests in your life.
You create your own luck.
Change is the only constant in the Universe.
Do not resist change.
The thought of ownership signals resistance to change. Replace the idea of ownership with the idea that you are temporarily taking care of something. This enables you to easily accept the inevitable change to come without feeling as if you lost something.
Don't fear the unknown. It is the only place you can find growth, novelty and creation. Learn to love the unknown.
You are your Self, not your body and ego.
All suffering comes from fear and believing the illusions of this world.
Your body is an extension of your mind. Exercising your body everyday makes your mind and thoughts a great deal better.
Life is all about growth, evolution and the expansion of consciousness.
Life seeks to express and experience itself in order for growth and evolution to occur. The nature of life is to increase life.
Having wealth considerably helps you to grow in life. Wealth frees up the time for you to explore any aspect of life you desire.
Nature fully supports your desire for wealth. You simply have to follow the Universal laws.
Ask yourself: Who am I? You are not your habits, your name, your personality nor your disposition. None of these are really you.
Your cells change daily, your thoughts come and go, your ego and self image change. Your Self is timeless. These aspects of you are the tools you use to help you navigate the world. They are here to help you, not to be a burden.
Spirit is One entity. It is individuated into people but it has and always will remain One. The oceans of the world are the same way. They are separated by different land masses, are habitats to different organisms, but they are all one body of water.
Your Spirit is immortal. It has everything, pure wealth and abundance.
Why did your Spirit seek an Earthly existence? Spirit doesn't lack anything. Spirit lives in a realm of never ending wealth and abundance where all desires are fulfilled instantly. Poverty is not an option.
Spirit can not know the full joy that wealth brings without having first experienced the hardships of poverty.
You may "know" what a situation is like intellectually. But you can not experience it without also creating the opposite experience. You can't truly experience the intense feeling of love without having experienced hate.
Spirit knows abundance but it can't experience wealth without first creating an illusionary world of not having wealth.
Having constant and instant access to anything that you desire would eventually dull the thrill of experiencing it all. You would "know" that you are getting the very thing you want, but it would cease to be a fun and exciting experience for you.
Spirit is all One with everything in the Universe. There is no illusion of separation like there is here on Earth.
The ego is a tool that was designed to create the illusion that we are all separate.
When you take this illusion to be reality the ego stops being a tool for you to experience your wonderful Spirit and it becomes a trap. You forget that we are all One, and you forget that you are abundant.
You came to Earth to "pretend" you didn't have it all but you end up believing that you really don't have it all.
Be aware of who you truly are. You are Spirit with a body, mind, personality and ego. You are not a body, mind, personality and ego with a Spirit.
Whether you are aware of it or not, nothing happens around you that you are not wholly or partly a cause of.
You are NOT your past.
Your Soul is an individuation of source. Your soul uses your body to communicate with your mind through feelings and intuition. Thoughts and emotions come from the mind, don't confuse the two.
By listening to your intuition you can speed up your growth and reduce suffering.
Meditation puts you in direct contact with infinite intelligence. Calmness, wisdom and inspiration are readily available here.
Look at everyone as if they are in the perfect stage of their own unique development towards becoming complete. Do not judge them based on their outward physical appearance.
Always follow what feels true to you.
Your Higher Self is always talking to you through various sources. The shows you watch, people you see, synchronicities you experience, the intuitions you have. You just have to be aware and open to the messages.
Your only limits are the ones you place on yourself.
Suppressed desires become depressions. Express your desires and you create life and joy.
Experiences are within you not outside you. Two people can experience an event in completely different ways and they can hold on to that experience for a lifetime.
You choose the meaning you give to any given experience so make it a positive one. Your experiences are whatever you say they are.
The universe manifests your "I am" statements and states of being when you make them with certainty.
Your desires indicate innate abilities that your Self is capable of learning.
Desires are parts of your Self that seek growth and evolution. Desires are signals from the Self.
Time is an illusion created by our consciousness where we only see a portion of the whole space time continuum.
Your Spirit knows everything. Including your future. Your future changes with every choice you make.
Once a choice is made your Spirit knows every event that will occur after that.
If you desire to reach a point in your future, then your Spirit already knows every step you must take to get there.
Your Spirit needs your consciousness to experience all that it knows.
Synchronicities are when you think of someone or something and then that thing or person immediately appears in front of you or contacts you. This experience is really the alignment between the choices your Spirit makes with the choices your ego, mind, and emotion make. When all these parts of you agree on the same choice you receive the instant manifestation of that choice.
Fear, attachment (illusion that loss is actually real) and emotions (past conditionings/reactions) inhibit the instant manifestation of your choices.
The Spirit chooses a purpose(s) and what it wants to experience before coming to Earth.
You can never permanently own anything on Earth. What you think you own ends up owning you. You go out of your way trying to keep from losing the item.
Before creation there was only One, Spirit. Spirit individuated itself into tiny spirits in order to experience duality.
Spirit is energy. Everything in the universe is energy.

Abundance

Your Self is naturally forever abundant. Spend your money cheerfully. Whether you are buying things, or paying bills, do it with gratitude and joy.
Scarcity is not real; it only appears when you choose to see it.
Choose thoughts of creation over competition.
Competition stems from feelings of lack and scarcity.
Don't believe in the economics of scarcity. Economics was derived from observation. It teaches about scarcity of resources.
If you don't have what you want, know that it is due to your thoughts and not the Universe.
Do not think or speak of lack as this perpetuates it.
Broke is temporary but poor is a mental condition of the mind.
Competition in business brings scarcity, creative thought brings abundance.
There is more than enough for everyone when you think and act creatively.
Meditation is the fastest way for you to know how abundant you are.

Happiness

Joy is the natural state of all beings.
If you want to be happy, make someone else happy.
Love yourself and the world will love you.
Happiness is a decision.
Happiness comes from you making things happen for you. Don't wait for things to happen to or for you.
Unconditional love, acceptance, detachment, and tolerance all lead to happiness.
The lack of joy is the lack of expression of the soul.
The health of the environment influences your health which impacts your joy.
A comfortable and beautiful environment influences your joy.
Find the humor in everything, even the most serious situations.
Happiness is found in how you choose to look at a situation, not in the event itself.
You are not your circumstances, your circumstances are you. When you change yourself you change your circumstances.
Cultivate your relationships with people.
You don't ever owe anyone anything no matter what the reason is. What you do for others is a gift to them and what they do to you is a gift to you. This is unconditional love. You don't require anything from others and you are not required to give to others.
Love is a liberator. A free expressor that doesn't limit you.
The less judgmental and more forgiving you are, the happier you become.
Freedom and love are the keys to happiness.
Conditional love resists change.
Conditional love is the love of an idea not a person, it is loving a past moment and not the unknown moment, it is full of fear that the conditions won't be met one day. The fear eventually attracts the unwanted circumstance.
Remain joyful as others grow as they choose to and not as you choose for them to.
Whatever you wish others to recognize and see in you, recognize and see in them.
Our choices make a thing right or wrong. On its own a thing or situation is just an outcome of Perfect Law (how the universe was designed to be).
You don't need anything outside yourself to be happy and wealthy.
Instead of wanting, desire and intend with detachment.
The more love you give the more you get in return.

"When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight." -Kahlil Gibran

Don't complain to yourself and others all it does is highlight and cause negativity.
Real joy comes from within, from being. Pleasure and pain come from the external world.
That which gives you pleasure gives you pain. They are complimentary. When the external thing that gives you pleasure is not in your life you feel pain. When an external pain is not in your life you feel pleasure. All external things do this.
The same thing causes you pain and pleasure because the mind shifts its focus on the past or the future rather than focusing on the present moment. You think about how nice it was to have that thing and you want it back. You think about when you will next get to experience that thing and eagerly await it all the while missing the joy that the present moment brings.
The mind is a tool, use it to create the next now. But only take a few seconds to do so.
Don't dwell on the past or future.
Problems only exist in the mind and when you are not in the Now.
As your material wealth grows you may want offshore specialists assisting your affairs and ensuring their safety.
Money breakdown: 10% taxes, 10% charity, 10% long term growth and 70% to live off, grow as an individual and enjoy life.
Have a team of knowledgeable people in all fields of finance.
Multiply your efforts and results by delegating often.
One way to look at making money is to see it as a change in thought causing a shift in the way energy in the universe is exchanged.
Certainty of thought causes massive shifts in the way energy is rearranged. A huge shift in certainty of thought and the desire for better always leads to a huge shift in the way energy is rearranged for a better life.
A key to building wealth is making your money work for you rather than working for money.
Assets create net wealth. Liabilities take more money from you than they give. Always obtain more assets than liabilities.
Use your assets to pay for your liabilities. Work for your assets and let your assets work for your liabilities.
The One splits itself so that it can know itself. One part is the observer and the other is observed. Without splitting up the One couldn't know what it is, it needs something to compare itself to.

Time

Time is an illusion created by you.
The only time that truly exists is NOW.
Time is a sensation of passing events. The faster or slower you pass these events the faster or slower the calibration of time changes.
Everything that could possibly happen in the universe is all happening at the same time in the field of the universe. The past, present and future. Your consciousness is only aware/awake to a small portion of this field at a given moment. As your awareness moves across this field you experience time as past, present, and future.
The Universal Field/Source as a whole does not experience time, it experiences an eternal process that is all happening at one moment.
When you expand your consciousness you begin to take up more of the "field" and time shrinks for you.
What you resist, judge, and condemn persists. What you embrace and non-judgmentally bring to the light for clear and honest examination reveals the lessons you are looking for to grow.
Everything exists in all possible states until you observe it. Once you observe it, it materializes.
Wealth is brought into existence by your observation of it. Wealth already exists as a probability but your certainty, faith, and attention makes it a definite thing.
Anything you do or think goes on to affect the whole universe to one degree or another. Like a ripple in a pool of water. Your actions get sent back to you magnified.
The good fortune of any individual in the system causes an improvement to the whole system. As the whole system improves so does the individual.
It is ok to love money, just don't let your love turn into greed. Money moves to those who love it most.
Money frees you to pay attention to other areas of life. Money further enables you to express your love, give, create, share and uplift others.
Build multiple sources of income that don't require your constant attention (businesses, investments etc.), it is a key to building wealth.

Action Steps

Imagine every aspect of your life and how you want it to be for 30 minutes everyday
Surround yourself with images of the things you like and desire
Become aware of your thoughts
Meditate daily
Form a mastermind group and get together regularly

Set goals in the right way: List what you would like to have, do, and be in the next 30 years. Big goals and little goals. List the things you will have, the skills you will acquire, the people you will meet, the places you'll go, where you'll live, your health status, and your habits. List the things that you know would give you the most amazing life you could dream of.
- List at least 100 things, for those who aim to be really wealthy, list 5000 things. You can include small details for the things you desire. Also write down the reasons why you want to have these things. Having reasons for your goals makes them easier to visualize and obtain and it makes impressing the subconscious easier. For example, say you want a billion dollars. It's much easier (and provokes many more emotions) to visualize yourself boarding your private jet, staying at the most grand hotels, driving your favorite exotic cars, and relaxing in your mega mansion than it is to visualize a billion dollars in cash.

Start a goals and visualization journal (physical or digital). Cut out pictures from magazines (or print out) images and words of the things you desire, the places you want to go, and people you want to meet. Put it in your journal. 20 minutes twice a day look at your list and visualize your goals in detail.
Do your goal visualization in meditation
Do something that takes you closer to your goals. There is always something you can do now no matter how small. Act with gratitude, knowing that you already have your goals realized because by law you know they will manifest into reality
Write down the problems you run into as this helps you correct errors in your thinking
Calmly ask yourself the most important questions of your life right upon waking up each morning. The answers will come to you in interesting ways
Practice unconditional love for yourself and others
