Money and Morality

As I held the check for $7 million in my hand, I thought back to the precise circumstance that were occurring when I received the phone call from Sushan. I realized that at that very moment I had been thinking about the old conflict with Jason -- in particular, that I hadn’t made the full commitment to working for him, and now wanted to resolve the situation -- I got the call from Sushan with the news about the $7 million check. In other words, when I understand the situation, and then committed to overcoming my attitude of reluctance, life instantly responded in the form of a huge financial windfall!

I now clearly saw that when you make that inner adjustment in consciousness, life on the outside instantly responds in kind -- defying all normal notions of what is possible, and how cause and effect interrelate.

As I sat there with the check in hand, I then made another connection. I realized that the surreal event that took place at the end of Satish’s presentation at Masonic was also a positive life response. Except that one came about as a result of the workings of Excalibur itself. When Excalibur moved into execution mode, somehow it evoked Belinda Tam from behind the curtain.

But why did that happen? Perhaps it picked up a vibration from Satish, or somehow knew to send out a pulse that would evoke that miraculous-like result. Or perhaps the intentions of Excalibur and Belinda Tam suddenly aligned in that moment of time.

When I thought further on the matter, it occurred to me that her sudden appearance was synchronous with events in my own life as well. After all, I had been in touch with her mother on several occasions, and now I suddenly saw her daughter appear before me in the most unexpected of situations.

Now my mind was racing in all directions. What were all these circumstance trying to tell me -- about my life; about my relationship to all the people I had met; and about my association with Jason and Excalibur? Though I tried to put the pieces together, I just could not make them fit.

I then realized that I simply knew too little about the phenomenon of Life Response to draw any definite conclusions. Perhaps these events and unfoldings were related to other principles of life that I was not yet aware of. For example, maybe it was the “law of karma” at work -- i.e. that what you sow is what you reap. Or perhaps it was some type of synchronicity, or thought transference, or something else along those lines.

I finally concluded that I simply needed to let go of the matter, remain patient; and answers would come soon enough. For now, I just needed to relax, to refocus, and get on with my life.

 

After the commotion in my head began to subside, I walked over to my computer and loaded my email program. A moment later, I heard a pleasant computer voice that said, “You have received eighteen messages -- four are audio/video messages; one is urgent and active.”

I activated the urgent/active message. After a moment, a woman’s face appeared on the screen. It was Francine from Egypt -- her visage frozen before me, -- waiting for me to play the message.

I shook my head again, muttered “what now?” under my breath, and clicked on the Play button.

“Hi, it’s Francine! Lucky you caught me, I was just about to head out.

I hope this message finds you and Sushan well! I heard about the money you came into when I spoke to Jason. You are very fortunate! You must be doing something right -- that is, right inside yourself!

As you know, we have been using the Growth Online articles to improve ourselves -- that is, to elevate our consciousness. Also, as you may recall our desire is to make the physical transformation. However, we first need to make the psychological change; you know, to improve our character and nature, and grow spiritually.”

‘Yes, I understand,” I said.

“I am glad you do!”

Francine continued: “We also have been using the final beta version of Excalibur. It is remarkable what is happening with the program! We could write a book on our experiences with it!

By the way, we do have a few suggestions for improvement, which we have passed along to Jason. I have attached a copy of the recommendations to this message. I hope you get to see it. I am sure Jason wouldn’t mind.

“I hope not,” I said, sardonically.

“I must tell you something else,” Francine said haltingly, in a low voice.

“What is it?”

“Well, to be honest, I am not sure about the integrity and morality of Excalibur. I am sure you have discussed this fact with others: that invoking positive Life Responses by modifying people’s subconscious through the workings of Excalibur is a highly questionable approach. Besides, one must ask if Excalibur’s actions are really changing the person permanently to the good, or is it just a temporary crutch, albeit a cosmic one that evokes these startling life results. I’m not sure if Jason has considered this. Or perhaps that is all he thinks about!

“I wish I knew,” I said with a hint of doubt.

“In the interim, believe me when I say that Growth Online has helped the people here enormously, and I thank you for introducing the site to me last year in Cairo. By the way, I should mention parenthetically that “The Sisterhood” is not really a sisterhood at all. That was just our original name, which we kept because that was what we were known as. We do actually have a number of men on our staff; as well as children, teenagers, and seniors. Also, our affiliates around the world are also of a similar mixed lineage.

We have been particularly intrigued with the the Growth Online articles on “Inner-Outer Correspondence,” and have been practicing it on a daily -- no, an hourly basis. I wonder if you have read it. It’s very interesting!

“Funny thing you should mention that. I just reviewed that very article the other day,” I replied.

“What a coincidence. Or should I say a life response!”

“Yes, I think so!” I answered.

Francine paused for a moment, and then continued: “Let me tell you how we have embraced the inner-outer principle in our own lives. Twice a day, we think about major positive or negative events that have taken place. Then we make the effort to try to connect these events and circumstances back to our own inner attitudes, intentions, points of view, decisions, actions and so forth. We have made particular headway when it comes to linking negative circumstances back to corresponding negative propensities on our part. It’s there particularly in the attitudes.

Once we make the connection, -- which is not so easy, since it is difficult to identify our own negative propensities -- we try to each come up with a plan to change it. When we then we carry out the plan, or at least make the first efforts to overcome that quality, it is often followed by a sudden unexpected positive results -- something along the lines of what happened to you when you attracted that $7M windfall!  When it happens, it is really magnificent! It is pure magic!

Inner-outer correspondence is really quite the cosmic principle. I.e. you find the corresponding element within yourself, change it, and the outer life instantly responds in kind! It seems like a miracle, but it really isn’t. It is just the way life works! It’s just that down through  the ages we never took notice. That is, we never perceived this dynamic association between the inner and the outer.

In the end, the whole experience has helped us greatly. I thank you so much again for introducing us to the site!”

“I am really glad to hear that you have benefited,” I answered.

I then continued. “So what do you think is going to happen with Excalibur?”

“Well, it’s kind of like playing with God, fate, and fire all at once! But it is so intriguing, so fantastic! Most of the conversations during our meetings and through our correspondence have been about the inner workings and technologies of the program itself. Most of it is speculation of course. I guess only Jason knows the truth of things. At least, I think he does.”

Francine hesitated, then continued. “Perhaps the whole ordeal is bringing us closer to understanding the Mind of God.”

“That is quite a big thought. It certainly is a great mystery -- though I am slowing getting a feel for the whole thing.”

I paused once more, then resumed.. “So how are things going otherwise?”

“Well, my tour guide work is still going quite well. I see life response results and the inner-outer correspondence that makes it occur happening all the time in my work! It is just marvelous.

You know, I think I have become a better person as a result of what I have learned at Growth Online -- from the life response experiences; and the articles on attitude, energy, organization, and all. It is definitely showing up in the quality of my work. As you can tell by our discussion, I have so much more energy and drive!”

“Yes, I have noticed!” I responded. “Anything else to report?”

Francine paused for a moment to think, and then said: “Our work on the physical transformation is also going quite well. I cannot tell you much about what we are doing in this area because like the inner workings of Jason’s program, there are secrets that must be kept. Let me just say that we believe that our immediate group, as well as our affiliates around the world, are really making big strides in this area. We are really at the frontier of human consciousness in this area. Perhaps leading the way to an evolution of the human species. Is that too bold a statement?”

“I don’t think so, if that is what is happening.”

“It really is, and its immensely practical. For example, how would you like to live as long as you want? 100 years? 200 years? 2000? We are trying, through consciousness (not drugs and genes; that will also happen!) to live as long as we so choose. We call it unending life through willful intent. There are definite signs of progress.” Francine then paused. “My God, I just realized that I have already said too much!”

From her tone, I could tell that she was ready things up. “Anyway say hello to Sushan for me. We would love to have you visit some time. I know she loves Egyptian history and mythology. After all, her name is “Sushan,” which is Middle Eastern for “lily flower.” I know she thinks she has had a past life here, even though she has never visited. Perhaps she will discover old friends and neighbors. (ha ha!). Au revoir!”

 

Suddenly the message came to an end. I clicked the Stop button and logged off the live chat program. I then got up out of my chair, and walked over to the bay window. In the distance, I saw a flock of Canadian geese in “V” formation migrating from the winter snows in the Northwest to San Francisco Bay. The mountains in the distance were sharp. The salty smell of the bay was unusually intoxicating for a winter day.

I had but one thought at that moment. “It’s all too much!”

I then shook my head, took a deep breath, and returned to the pressing work at hand.
