Acquire Power Through Self-Development - The Secret of Wealth files

Its is mandatory right that every single human being on this planet has the right to be happy, and not embroiled in the problems that of other peoples making.

Happiness is a product of wisdom, in other words through learning your mistakes and feeling permanetly unhappy, a blister of understanding seeps though into your life that says if you keep the same behaviour up, you will ALWAYS get the same results.

To realise and learn completely the relationship of human beings to each other, is to put an end to suffering and evil that perpetuates our Society. So wisdom is our understanding of our internal thoughts which percieves the world and its workings.


Why do we suffer in Life ?

In the grand scheme of things we are all being forced forward in our technical evolution/revolution and lack the spiritual illumination that lights the way and enable us to move safely among the various obstacles that lie in front of us.

It is as though we must pass through a long, dark room filled with furniture promiscuously scattered about. In the darkness our progress would be slow and painful and our bruises many. But if we could press a button that would turn on the electric light we could then make the same journey quickly and with perfect safety and comfort.

Usually we do not see or even suspect the presence of trouble until its suddenly leaps out in front of us. One day our family life is complete and happy, and a week later a death occurs and joy is replaced with emotional agony.

Today we have a tried and trusted friend, and come tomorrow he becomes an enemy and we fail to understand the reason. A little while ago we had wealth and all the material possesions we could ever need,then a sudden change and we are living in poverty and misery and yet we seek in vain for a reason why this should have happened.

There was a time when we had our strength and health, but they leave us and no reason appears. Apart from the greater tragedies in life, there are a so many lesser consequences which bring their miseries and minor heartaches.

We try in earnest to avoid them and we never see them until they strike us. We lack the spiritual illumination that enables us to look far and further, finding the hidden causes of human suffering and revealing the method by which they may be avoided; and if we can but reach illumination the evolutionary journey can be made both comfortably and swiftly.

The old method of education was to store the mind with as many facts, or supposed facts, as could be accumulated and to give a certain exterior polish to the personality.

The theory was that when a man was born he was a completed human being and that all that could be done for him was to load him up with information that would be used with more or less skill, according to the native ability he happened to be born with.

The theosophical idea is that the physical man, and all that constitutes his life in the physical world, is but a very partial expression of the self, that in the ego of each there is practically unlimited power and wisdom, that these may be brought through into expression in the physical world as the physical body and its invisible counterparts, which together constitute the complex vehicle of the ego's manifestation, are evolved and adapted to the purpose; and that in exact proportion that conscious effort is given to such self-development will spiritual illumination be achieved and wisdom attained. Thus the light that leads to happiness is kindled from within and the evolutionary journey that all are making may be robbed of its suffering.

Why does death bring misery? Chiefly because it separates us from those we love. The only other reason why death brings grief or fear is because we do not understand it and comprehend the part it plays in human evolution. But the moment our ignorance gives way to comprehension such fear vanishes and a serene happiness takes its place.

Why do we have enemies from whose words or acts we suffer? Because in our limited physical consciousness we do not perceive the unity of all life and realize that our wrong thinking and doing must react upon us through other people a situation from which there is no possible escape except through ceasing to think evil and then patiently awaiting the time when the causes we have already generated are fully exhausted. When spiritual illumination comes, and we no longer stumble in the night of ignorance, the last enemy will disappear and we shall make no more forever.

Why do people suffer from poverty and disease? Only because of our blundering ignorance that makes their existence possible for us, and because we do not comprehend their meaning and their lessons, nor know the attitude to assume toward them. Had we but the wisdom to understand why they come to people, why they are necessary factors in their evolution, they would trouble us no longer. When nature's lesson is fully learned these mute teachers will vanish.

And so it is with all forms of suffering we experience. They are at once reactions from our ignorant blunderings and instructors that point out the better way. When we have comprehended the lessons they teach they are no longer necessary and disappear. It is not by the outward acquirement of facts that men become wise and great. It is by developing the soul from within until it illuminates the brain with that flood of light called genius.
