WEALTH & POVERTY
Filed under: General
Posted by: @ 5:38 am

Wealth, because it has so much to lose,
always resists the facts of necessary change;

Poverty, because it has so little to lose,
moves more readily with the truth of reality.

In all spiritual Revolution, it is better
to be on the side of the poor.

KNOTS IN THE FLOW OF LIFE—The false way
of force, of power, of control

Force fades because it eventually breaks
what it is trying to force;

Power fades because it comes to depend
on energy from without, and thereby becomes
empty from within;

Control fades because it eventually breaks
what it tries to control.

So the false circle of contradiction comes
round necessarily in collapse. Dams, blocks,
knots in the flow of life, we either of our
own volition remove, or the intelligence
of Nature itself will take them down for us.
