from The Aquarian Teacher by Yogi Bhajan
"Prosperity is all around and within us. It is the ability to find, organize, and use the resources we need to fulfill our highest destiny and identity. Most people take one of three attitudes: scarcity, abundance or prosperity. Scarcity is the attitude of the Negative Mind: "There is not enough." "How will it hurt me?" "What will I lose?" People ruled by scarcity thinking are averse to risk-taking, live with a fear of loss, or become hyper-vigilant about being misused.
Abundance is the province of the Positive Mind. People ruled by abundance-thinking believe they can do almost anything with enough effort, intelligence or luck. They take risks. They are optimists against all evidence. They often accumulate possessions, money or accomplishments. But there is also a risk of absorption in the things they create, so they may lose their sense of purpose, after a time. Acquisition itself becomes a purpose until a certain emptiness questions the many successes they are focused on.
Prosperity is the special gift of the Neutral Mind. People who rule with the Neutral Mind use the sum of both the Negative and Positive Minds, then divide the total input by the Neutral Mind. They take the down sides and the up sides and calculate how to use them based on their real purpose, identity, meaning, or destiny. The Neutral Mind uses intuition and keeps a sense of meaning and purpose at the center of one's life efforts. The result is a sensitivity to what to do next, what not to do, and who to connect with in order to let inner destiny blossom.
Prosperity is not about wealth or poverty. it is about fulfillment of your destiny. It is about clarity amidst distractions and diversions. IT IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE MUTUALLY SATISFYING. It is a gift that comes with every soul.
We already have prosperity as the Heavens have the Sun. If we turn toward the light we will be warmed and filled with energy. If we know the art to sense the whispers of our inner direction we can ask the world for what we need with confidence and complete success!"
