This weeks newsletter is about the origins of Wealth Dynamics, and how such magic happens:

THE ORIGINS OF WEALTH DYNAMICS

All men are produced equal

- Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Identical, very same, but different

- Well-liked Thai Expression, 2006

Wealth Dynamics, the profiling system for entrepreneurs, is based on a fundamental premise that we are not created equal. We all have innate qualities that set us apart, and it is specifically in these variations that we locate our exclusive path and contribution in life.

Over 20,000 entrepreneurs have taken the Wealth Dynamics test in the last five years, providing them a concentrate on what they ought to and shouldnt be performing to adhere to their all-natural path of action and attraction. Each of the eight Wealth Dynamics profiles has its own game with diverse guidelines, teams, methods, winning formulas and losing formulas. Every single identifies the frequency at which you operate in life exactly where you learn your flow and tune in to your objective. Those who have taken the test have found an intuitive resonance with their path.

If these frequencies fit so naturally, where did they come from? When had been they very first identified? And why didnt we find out all this at college?

Prior to we became so busy soon after the invention of such issues as TVs, combustion engines and electrical energy, individuals seemed to have a lot a lot more time to contemplate the globe we live in. The most evolved and influential civilization five,000 years ago was Ancient China, which, according to Chinese mythology, was ruled by 3 mythical sovereigns until about 2,800BC. The 1st of these, Heavenly King Fu Xi, created the I Ching which became Chinas Oracle for the subsequent 4,800 years. Whilst Fu Xi was mythical, the I Ching is quite real. It evolved more than 4 dynasties and 2,000 years ahead of becoming the basis for Chinas two central philosophies, Taoism and Confucianism in 600BC. These have influenced wide ranging places to this day, from Buddhism, and Feng Shui to our formalized family members, government and legal systems.

In the beginning there was as however no moral or social order. Then came Fu Xi who looked upward and contemplated the images in the heavens, and looked downward and contemplated the occurrences on earth. He united man and wife, regulated the 5 stages of adjust, and laid down the laws of humanity. He devised the eight trigrams, in order to achieve mastery over the planet.

From the I Ching.

The I Ching is an extremely profound insight into the nature of our location in this universe. Translated as The Book of Alterations, it is based on the observation that almost everything flows from a dynamic balance of opposites, that time adjustments in nature as a result of this flow, and that inside these ever-altering tides there is an immovable, ultimate path for each of us. (The Tao, means The Way). The I Ching is far more than a philosophical thesis. The I Ching is an incredibly intricate study and mapping of time a mapping equivalent to the mapping of DNA. As soon as the 64 codons of DNA have been identified in the 1990s, we had the developing blocks to decode the genetic sequence of all living issues. So also, when the I Ching mapped time 4,800 years earlier, it gave Chinese masters a comprehensive program to decode time.

In the I Ching, 64 Hexagrams combining Yin and Yang make up the whole DNA of time (and power). These interplay with the five elements of location (and matter): Wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The philosophy behind this code is primarily based on the popular circular image of the Taiji: The perpetual interplay of Yin & Yang, Night & Day, Male & Female. The universe was observed as a continuous flux, and we have the chance to live in resonance with this flux by understanding it and following our path inside it, or to be in a constant battle against it. (Considerably as a excellent surfer picks the proper wave not by riding the wave, but by reading the ocean).

As we are born from energy to matter, we take on varying qualities of the very first 4 components, and it is this combination that defines our variations. Wealth Dynamics follows practically all modern psychometric testing, which requires its roots from the I Ching with one really substantial distinction

The I Ching remained inaccessible to the Western Planet for the very first four,000 years of its life. This changed in 1911 when Richard Wilhelm, a German missionary and scholar in China, met Lao Nai-hsuan, a Chinese sage in the I Ching. Lao believed it was time for the Western world to understand of the I Ching, and from 1913 to 1921 the two of them worked with each other at translating the intricacies of the I Ching into German. Lao died in 1921 as soon as the translation was completed, and Wilhelm took the translation back to Germany.

It was right here that he met psychoanalyst, Carl Jung. Jung had been Sigmund Freuds understudy for six years, and he had fallen out with his mentor over variations in their views of the unconscious. Even though Freud believed that we are the outcome of our family members and social conditioning, Jung believed we are born with inherent traits. When Wilhelm showed Jung his translation of the I Ching, it had a profound impact on Jung, to the extent that Jung wrote the introduction to the book and helped to get the I Ching published. From the I Ching and his conversations with Wilhelm, Jung gained a new clarity into the nature of character sorts:

For the very first time this profoundest function of the Orient was introduced to the West in a living and comprehensible style. What he told me, out of his wealth of information of the Chinese mentality, clarified some of the most challenging difficulties that the European unconscious had posed for me.

Carl Jung

Jungs new insights led to the basis of Jungian psychological typing, which subsequently led to psychometric testing models such as Myers-Briggs and DISC profiling. These tests take the nature of opposites in the 1st four Chinese components: Wood/Spring, Fire/Summer, Earth/Autumn and Metal/Winter, and relate them to introversion/extroversion, intuitive/sensory and so on. Myers-Briggs eight pairings of sorts match the eight major trigrams of the I Ching. To this extent, Wealth Dynamics shares a widespread supply in Carl Jung. So why have to we go back to the I Ching? What did Jung miss in his typing model?

The significant distinction in Wealth Dynamics to other psychometric tests is in its relation to time and the fifth element, water. Jung discarded the fifth element as it did not fit into the Western model of 4 static elements. As a outcome, he ended with a static model of the unconscious primarily based on four elements, exactly where time basically played a cause-and-effect role in life. This was ugly and incomplete, and Jung knew it.

Jung turned his attention to the intentional coincidences and total inter-connectedness of all things that the I Ching philosophy not only permitted, but anticipated. This led to him creating and naming two ideas which nowadays are effectively recognized: The universal unconscious, and synchronicity (a term he utilised for the initial time at Richard Wilhelms funeral in 1930). He constructed this into a complete theory of synchronicity in 1952, but he by no means managed to reconcile this operate on the flow of time and consciousness with his static psychological typing, and he died in 1961.

To this day, Jungian personality testing treats our character traits as static components with little connection to levels of consciousness or spirit. By contrast, in Wealth Dynamics spirit is crucial as it is our entrepreneurial spirit that will determine our wealth.

Even though modern science and spirit have constantly been divided in the West, the East has usually taken a far more holistic view that time, matter and spirit are necessarily interconnected. While the four Greek elements are primarily based on physical elements, the 5 Chinese components are not components at all, but states of change. Fire does not refer to fire, but the state that fire is in when it warms. Wood does not refer to the wood in trees, but the state that wood is in when it grows. The five Chinese components could a lot more accurately be described as: Develop (Wood), Glow (Fire), Slow (Earth), Know (Metal) and Flow (Water). Even though Western culture has focused on a static physical globe, with changes based on cause-and-effect (till the advent of quantum mechanics), Chinese culture has always focused on states of alter, where nothing is static and exactly where we knowledge entirely distinct realities in the context of our state of change in any moment in time.

Wealth Dynamics refers to these five states as frequencies. When we tune in to our frequency (and we all have a dominant frequency), we knowledge a diverse reality, and we commence to attract the appropriate folks, resources and possibilities as if by luck. Many people call this our flow. Not surprisingly, flow is what we locate in water, the fifth element. As we comply with the approaches to resonate with our all-natural frequency, we increasingly tune into and expertise flow.

"These coincidences, which Jung termed synchronicity, are sure signs you are in the flow Flow is a harmony of getting that has been sought after through the centuries in the spiritual traditions of the globe. In the East, it has been linked to the Tao, the underlying interconnectedness of the Universe. In our lives, flow is obvious in these times when factors come about effortlessly, every thing falls into place, obstacles melt away, and our timing is best. In those occasions, we feel a deep sense of harmony and underlying order. We know we are in the proper spot, at the right time, undertaking precisely the appropriate factor."

- Charlene Belitz & Meg Lundstrum, The Power of Flow

Flow is not an ethereal idea in Wealth Dynamics, but an achievable state, reached via a natural step-by-step path that each of us can tread - simply because numerous have tread the path just before us. (four,800 years prior to us, in truth).

The finish objective of Wealth Dynamics is not just to know your profile. It is to determine your path, to tune in to your flow, and to fulfill your true possible.

As far as we can discern, the sole goal of human existence

is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere becoming.

- Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)
