Stuart Wilde Wisdom & Quotes
Seriousness is a disease of the ego
There is no amount of money in the world that will make you comfortable if you are not comfortable with yourself.
There is nothing more marvelous than doing something you love to do and getting paid for it. It ceases to become work, money, and effort; and it becomes fun, your expression of the joy of life.
If you can’t change everything all at once, then at least work on changing something each day. Become aggressive in your battle with the ego. You probably don’t need all the things that it wants. You need hope, discipline, creative expression, love, and serenity-these are the important things. Remember, when you are balanced, one stepping stone will lead you to the next. But you will rarely see the whole journey or all the answers at once.
Balance and good fortune can only come to a person who is balanced and feels fortunate.
Next, take a look at the quality of the people who surround you. Do these people back you emotionally, or not? If they don’t back you, are they at least passive? If not, get rid of them. Sometimes it is hard to drop off your mates at the great bus stop of life. But remember, your energy will only rise in direct relationship to the number of things you are able to get rid of – not to the things you acquire. By getting rid of things, attitudes, encumbrances, and blocks of one kind or another, things fly.
The real you, the inner you, is pure, very pure. It’s loving and it’s magnanimous. It understands. It has patience. It is tolerant-it will wait forever while your ego trots all over everywhere trying to figure life out. It is pleasing to remember that back home there is a friend who’s waiting for you to stop being silly, who’s waiting to welcome you with open arms if and when you show up.
The Universal Law is impartial. It will give you anything you believe. It will throw you garbage or roses depending on the energy you put in. You are the one in charge, and you must accept that and stand alone. If you think God is coming down to fix things for you, forget it. God is out playing golf.
What you put out is what you get back, and the reason so many are so short of money is that they put little or nothing out
Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day.
One thing is fact. The events of your life are created by you, and those events come to you through your feelings.
The key to success is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, bill ‘em!
It is pointless to get your knickers in a twist if a certain person fails to react the way you want. It is best to avoid people and situations that you know drive you crazy. Remember to vote with your feet. If a situation is untenable or unchangeable, walk away.
Everything is out there waiting for you. All you have to do is walk up and declare yourself in. No need for permission. You just need courage to say, ‘Include me’. Providing you have the energy to pull it off you can do what you like.
If you deny yourself access to the child within because you’re too serious, you also block your connection to the divine Light and your feminine self. Every creator who’s any good uses their feminine side to create with.. Whether a scientist working on a hunch, a painter working on the interplay of colors, or a musician dealing with the juxtaposition of notes and chords.
If you don’t change, reality in the end forces that change upon you.
You’re the only one who can decide what’s best for you.
You have a divine right to choose whom you will play with and under what circumstances. By eliminating any energy drag, the positive good things in your life will resonate faster and faster.
Remember, most of the things you think you need are ego trips designed to bolster your image and your perception of security…. You’ll waste a lot of energy satisfying your ego only to find that, as soon as it’s got what it wants, it ignores all your efforts and promptly nails another list of demands to your forehead. The ego will always try to force you to slave for its vision. I wouldn’t stand for that BS if I were you.
It is better that you live in a one-room garret with a leaky roof, than live in a large house, the mortgage payments of which are causing your colon to turn cancerous!
Our world is very dishonest, and our leaders encourage dishonesty by setting bad examples – by lying, being corrupt, and using political sleight of hand to sustain power.
Lean toward love at all times, cut people slack, forgive and forget, and be kind, very kind; the more you do that, the less fear you will have. People will raise up to support you. Refuse to be scared in this lifetime.
Watch nature, because it is your greatest teacher. It moves and flows and moves on again. There is an incredible beauty out there in the mountains, in the forests, to teach you it’s silence, it’s beauty, it’s humility. Stay aligned to that.
Never be afraid to let people go if they’re not right; often that’s the only way you can make room for the right person.
Now think about the Universal Law. It reflects to you exactly and precisely what you put out. If your thought-forms say, “I haven’t got a clue about what I want,” the Universal Law is going to say, “Listen, mate, if you haven’t got a clue, neither have I.
The Universe doesn’t know the difference between a dime and a million. If you refuse the dime, the Universe thinks you don’t want money, so you collapse your chances.
Money is a symbol of that life force, of its appreciation. Money can be a solidified form of love. Through the transfer of money, we facilitate love and communication with other humans. It offers us a simple system of providing for and loving and nurturing ourselves, and it is one way of expressing generosity and kindness for the less fortunate.

You are an individual, and you came here on your own as a child, and you will die on your own. The fact that you may live in a community or with your family does not change the solitude of your spiritual journey. By cluttering your life with many things, you soon lose sight of who you are and what you came for.
Pride that you express to others is ego. Pride that you express silently to yourself is real pride.
… the more the mind dominates, the more the ego comes into play, and the further people depart from their true inner self. So all the technological advances in the world mean nothing if people feel a spiritual void inside of them.
If you don’t concentrate on counting the money, people soon realize that money is not the focus of your consciousness, so they give you everything other than money: kudos, acclaim, praise, etc., etc. And sooner or later you’ll be in trouble.
To pine for an alternative past is a waste of energy. In the pristine world of your infinite spiritual self, there is no sin or negative energy. There is only compassion, learning, and unconditional love and forgiveness. Remind yourself and those around you of this fact. In the light of God, everything is healed and seen to be perfect.
It’s not just the emotional, intellectual, and physical gaps between you and money. The real gap is always between what you think you want and what you actually want, deep down.
Remember this, you don’t have to be important or special or glamorous; all you actually need is success and pleasure from whatever it is that you choose to do with your life. You don’t have to become something in the eyes of others, you only have to become something in your own reality. From this humble attitude flows a sweet serenity which comes naturally from personal healing and spiritual reconciliation.

Successful people are usually more lively than those who are unsuccessful. The quickening of the spirit they feel comes out of their creativity, and success detaches them from the more rigid outlook on life – it puts them in the flow. So the shakers and movers, by their very nature, are moving faster, taking more risks, and investing more in the world than their less active counterparts.
Each moment of our life, we either invoke or destroy our dreams. We call upon it to become a fact, or we cancel our previous instructions.
Man is basically an individual molecule of the God-Force.
It’s hard to align with money if you think that it is evil and nasty. But once you come to an understanding that money is neutral, it’s easy to see that having money does not necessarily deprive somebody else. There’s no reason why you can’t be very rich and still be an extremely spiritual and wonderfully generous person-aligned to the God Force-with a huge heart, and compassion for everyone you meet.
Once you are completely comfortable with charging, then – and only then – will you allow yourself to do things for free. That way if you perform a kindness for another, you will know that you are doing it because you want to, not because you have been manipulated into it or are maneuvering in the hopes of winning their affection.
An affirmation is almost like a mantra. It does not really matter if what you are affirming is not totally true as yet. By repeating an affirmation over and over again, it becomes embedded in the subconscious mind, and eventually it becomes your reality.
Our life’s journey of self-discovery is not a straight-line rise from one level of consciousness to another. Instead, it is a series of steep climbs and flat plateaus, then further climbs. Even though we all approach the journey from different directions, certain of the journey’s characteristics are common to all of us.
The point to remember about selling things is that, as well as creating atmosphere and excitement around your products, you’ve got to know what you’re selling.
Life is so simple, really. Think through what people want, watch what others fail to give them, and provide it. Then bill’em.
Gradually, by processing emotion and understanding the psychological action involved, you realize it isn’t really complex. It may seem so at first, but that’s because you still belong to your emotions and opinions–you think they’re yours and that they’re real. They aren’t–they belong to the ego. The Infinite Self cannot be insecure.
The rich get richer. Not only because they have surpluses with which to invest, but because of the overriding emotional release they experience from having wealth.
…the waiter has to come from a place of concentration, subjugation, and complete, limitless service. Nothing is too much trouble. The customer is always right, even when he is wrong. There is no limit to what you will do to serve while that person is in your bar and in your care.
Of course, you don’t have to have a degree to be rich. You just have to have ideas. Maybe having a degree sets you back, for it stuffs you into tick-tock [the daily grind of work], and perhaps that stifles your creative mind. But the fact is that many millionaires have few educational qualifications of any kind at all. However, they still have knowledge. The difference is, they have knowledge they can sell, and others have the “common knowledge” of tick-tock, which isn’t worth as much, if anything at all.
When you are insecure, it turns people off. To spend money, people have to give away a part of their security. When they make the transfer of money to you, they have to feel solid; they have to feel they are getting something that will make them more, because they are paying out and becoming less right now. If you are solid and contained and secure, it helps them feel solid, so they transfer their cash more readily.
You can only begin where you find yourself
To make every little thing special is to grant a magical quality to your life. Once your life becomes charmed in such a way, whatever blocks you may have experienced in the past melt in the light of that inner energy pouring from your heart. From a businessman’s point of view, this is beautiful, for everything you touch turns to gold. Further, it helps you to believe in yourself. In seeing worth all around, you make your every act an affirmation of your strength.
You have a divine right to abundance, and if you are anything less than a millionaire, you haven’t had your fair share.
Your needs will be met once you can find a way of projecting energy and fulfilling someone else’s need.
Things you believe are baggage in your life.
It takes a constant effort of mind to avoid the abundance that life offers naturally.
It is important that the female develops a reality that honors and nurtures her femininity and has an identity and creativity of her own. It is equally important that the male in the relationship endorses that creativity.
Refuse to be scared in this lifetime.
We have each had the experience of others reacting to us; often there seems to be no logic to it. But in fact, people do pick up on our subtle energy, and even if they can’t see it or put it into words, they feel it and, subliminally, they know. They vote yes, no or maybe according to the qualities and strength of the energy we project.
Knowledge is power. The more knowledge, expertise, and connections you have, the easier it is for you to make a profit at the game of your choice.
Do things the ego does not like to do.
The Ascension is actually the birth of the Inner You expressed as the spiritual individualism of the inner particle state.

In bad times, the rich usually get richer.
Remember, it’s Ok to get what you want from life.
Somewhere in your life there will be an overriding theme to your quest – some part of your desire that cannot be denied without a terrible cost to the very essence of what you are. Are you going to ignore it, or do you have the courage of your commitment and the confidence to demand that life, humanity, or circumstances give you what you want, with no other excuse, reason or apology other than that you demand it?
To win a moral victory at the expense of your sanity is dumb.
If you don’t have any money, it is still a simple process to create in your feelings an acknowledgement that what you do have is abundance and the world is, in fact an abundant place to be.
One day we’ll have a system that includes the rights of the people to make money and keep it, rather than a system where you can vote for the fox or the wolf, but there’s no little box that endorses the chickens. Our time will come, you can be sure of that.
Individually we can work on ourselves. By working on your own ego and developing truth, control, and an equitable inner dialogue, you individualize the spirit within you through the process of observation. If you work on yourself, the progress you make radiates invisibly to others, helping them and giving them courage, which also improves the global picture. After all-your ego is a part of the world ego, and as you control it, you lessen the overall influence of the world ego while expanding the presence of truth on our planet.
The person who said money is the root of all evil just flat out didn’t have any.
The more you establish quiet time and mediation as part of your daily discipline, the more you go through the rotation into mirror (dream) worlds.
I firmly believe the world will sort itself out in the end. Believe it with me. At least none of us will be around to be proven wrong.
In the end it all comes down to enthusiasm. Your creativity is basically your expression of God-force.
Poverty is restriction and as such, it is the greatest injustice you can perpetrate upon yourself.
It doesn’t work to have loads of money if your inner spiritual life is a desert, if you have no freedom beyond chasing more and more cash. Quality of life is as vital as heaps of money.
There is a spiritual godliness that drifts naturally through the affairs of man, but it is visible only if actions are undertaken and performed with that godliness in mind.
Money is just a symbol we use to facilitate te gathering of memories and experiences.
When the first human began to read and write, he or she set the world upon a new evolution. Similarly, if a few individuals have the strength and the power to walk away from the restrictions of the world and to stand fearlessly beyond it, eventually, in some distant millennium, all mankind will also come to that same liberation.
The point is that if you accept that there is only one energy in all things, then on an energy level there is no giving or receiving – just energy moving around within itself. It’s only the ego that sees a separateness in things. So the ego will say, “The Cadillac went from Harry to Sally.” But on an infinite level, it is neither Harry’s nor Sally’s, it is a part of all things. It is. Where it finds itself and whose name is on the owner’s manual is irrelevant.
Spirituality is invisible. Never forget that. If you can see it, if it’s dressed in funny robes, if it’s up there to be looked at, if it’s making a big performance of itself, it is not spirituality. It is ego.
Learning to charge properly is a vital key to abundance. Affirm that you will never devalue yourself by charging less than what you feel you are worth.
Be different – without concern for what others think.
