Essence and Form

"When we define "manifestation" as "appearing physically," we are only taking into account physical forms, objects. But successful manifestation is only complete if it results in a change in consciousness.
That change of consciousness, in turn, is the realization that the essence of what we sought in a physical form is actually inside of us. "Having" doesn't mean possessing a physical object. It means no longer experiencing the need."
- John-Roger
Earlier in this life I would call myself an "Empire builder". Building the business, building the houses, attempting to bring forward the icons of wealth. What came with that was stress, worry, and getting tired of the "things" and wanting new "things" to replace the things that were no longer exciting.
At the same time I was gathering the Spiritual experiences and drinking deep in the mystical. I was able to compare the two, the physical "wealth" and the true wealth of essence.
From where I stand today, this morning, I am so grateful for my journey and I find the experiences that touched my essence are the ones I hold dear.
May you experience the true wealth in your life.
