Prosperity Engine — Update — Mastering Energy
Physical reality consists of four key dimensions or “elements” (STEM):
Space,Time,Energy, andMass
In this article, we will look at some drills we can do to master the dimension of energy.
Energy has been defined variously as,
The fifth dimension of dichotomous direction: sameness versus change.Force exerted over a distance.The opposite of humility.Money.A unit of exchange.Arrogance.
Energy gives us the wherewithal to change. In a sense, energy is “physical confidence” or the opposite of humility. Energy represents the might of reality to overwhelm or to control others. It remains “confidence without humility” which is equivalent to arrogance.
Energy-Related Concepts
Unlike space, time and mass, energy is not measured directly as a fundamental unit, but is derived from other units of measure. In fact, to describe energy, we need to refer to all three of the other “elements” or “dimensions”—space, time and mass. This is the essence of Einstein’s famous equation of energy-mass equivalence—E = mc2 (energy = mass times the velocity of light squared).
With space, we simply use a measuring stick to determine the distance in any direction. Of course, the measuring stick is made of mass, and the objects for which the distance of separation is being measured are made of mass, but the units used are purely those related to space—meters, kilometers, inches, miles, astronomical units, light years, parsecs and others. For area, we have 2-dimensional measure using square meters, square feet, hectares, acres, square kilometers, square miles and others. For volume, we have 3-dimensional measure using cubic meters, cubic feet, liters, gallons, cubic miles, cubic kilometers, cubic parsecs and others.
For time, we use something with a regular beat. The object used, whether it is a clock with a spring mechanism, a battery-driven electronic circuit, or atomic emission spectrum set to a precise frequency, may be made of mass, and may use energy, but the units employed in the actual measure are purely those of time—seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia and others.
And for mass, the measure is based on the constant gravitational force of a planet on a specific mass. Of course, there is a layman’s confusion on the difference between mass and weight, but for our purposes we will use both interchangeably. Or it may be based on the energy required to move the mass to a given velocity, changing its momentum in space, nowhere near a gravitational field of any significance. But the units used are purely those of mass—atomic units, grams, ounces, pounds, kilograms, tons, metric tons and others.
For the scientific term, “energy,” we use the derived unit, Joules or ergs. In this article, we will refer to the MKS system of units (Joules), instead of the CGS (ergs). MKS refers to units based on meters, kilograms and seconds, while CGS refers to units based on centimeters, grams and seconds.
Energy in Joules can also be stated in terms of Newtons times a given distance (m), which is force times distance. Breaking this down even further, we can state the energy in terms of mass times distance squared divided by time squared. Or, stated another way, mass times velocity squared.
E = J = N * m = kg * m2 / s2
where
E = energy
J = Joules
N = Newtons
m = meters
kg = kilograms
s = seconds
“Force” and “power” are terms related to energy, but too often erroneously conflated with it.
Force is energy divided by meters (m). F = E/m, as in the force of gravity. We can rewrite this equation to solve it in terms of energy—E = F * m or J = N * m.
“Power,” the other word related to energy, like “force,” is not equivalent to “energy,” but differs in a very specific way. Power is Joules per second, or energy expended per second.
Einstein’s famous equation relates energy to mass and the velocity of light. E = m * c2. Here, m refers to mass (kg, instead of distance in meters). In MKS form, Einstein’s equation would be J = kg * m2/s2 (Joules = mass in kilograms times distance squared divided by time squared, or kilograms times the velocity of light squared).
The Limits of Energy by Scale
<<< Pix: 02 >>>
On one end of the scale, we might measure the energy required to change one electron to a higher orbit in a single atom, thus absorbing that amount of energy from an outside source, like a bit of light energy.
On the other end of the scale, we might measure the kinetic energy of an entire galaxy moving through intergalactic space. From this, we can estimate how that galaxy might behave when passing by another galaxy of a certain mass.
We might also include the Big Bang which gave birth to the universe at the extreme end of this scale. Supernovae (exploding stars) might fit several magnitudes below that extreme, but still far above the scale of moderate, human experience.
And on the moderate, middle range of the scale of energy, we have the human experience, measured in the amount of energy in a heartbeat, the energy required to boil a pot of water, or the energy required to send a rocket into orbit.
Boiling Water: An Energy Lesson
Once water starts to boil, adding more heat to it does not change the temperature. This, of course, applies to a pot of water, with heat applied to the whole pot. It also ignores the minor effects of evaporation and radiation of heat away from the pot. These forms of heat loss are insignificant compared to the main process involved with adding heat and the phase change of the liquid into a gas.
Once the phase change is complete, then the temperature can once again rise with the addition of more energy.
I had someone tell me one time that I needed to keep boiling the water so it would be as hot as possible. They didn’t realize that the temperature remains constant throughout the boiling phase.
The “Boiling Frog Syndrome” is an energy-related phenomenon in the social arena, where people are trapped by normalcy bias into accepting radical changes to a society until it becomes too late for them to do anything about it. By the time the frog realizes the water is getting too hot, the creature is too weak to jump out to safety. So too, the Jewish citizens of Nazi Germany were willing to do nothing about the first few waves of oppression. A similar phenomenon seems to be happening today across the planet on numerous levels—social, political, intellectual and even spiritual.
Burdens of Energy—Various Forms of Overwhelm
We can have too little energy or too much energy.
The overwhelm of too little energy can take many forms. One involves extreme cold that freezes the body or reduces the ability of our planet to produce predictable, abundant rainfall.
Most people don’t realize that cold climate is the source of the most abundant droughts and deserts—not warmer climate. Cold! That’s the killer climate we need to avoid, or for which we need to prepare in our current Ice Age while our current interglacial has been cooling down for the last 3,000 years.
And yes, we live in an interglacial called the Holocene—one of dozens of interglacials in the current, Pleistocene Ice Age. Scientists were a bit hasty in declaring the Pleistocene Ice Age to be over.
The overwhelm of too little energy can also come from not having enough food or even from the wrong kind of food. Sugars and grains can give us a boost of energy, but at the cost of poorer, long-term health.
Money is a kind of artificial energy—artificial because all currency is given its value by common consent of the people involved. Money gives us the freedom to do things or to acquire things.
From a shortage of money, we might starve to death, lose our home or find our self enslaved to another merely to survive.
In this sense, the power of influence, or rather the lack of it, could prove disruptive to our life, allowing others to control our destiny through oppression.
On the other side of energy, too much might look like the dangers of fire, fever or even nuclear explosions. They could include climate that becomes too hot—but that remains far from a serious concern while we remain in an Ice Age. In fact, most of Earth’s history has remained safe from too much heat, because the oceans regulate the planet’s overall temperature, keeping it cooler than it would otherwise be—from the cooling of evaporation to the cooling of cloud shading, both effects of which increase as the planet warms. All of Earth’s water makes the swings in temperature far shallower and far slower. Only where there is very little water nearby does the land find extremes in temperature—freezing at night, and scorching heat during the day.
Too much energy can also come in the form of too much food or the wrong kind of food, upsetting the chemical balance and health of the body, resulting in more prevalent disease, or far earlier death.
Imagine what human life expectancy would be with the right kind of nutrition to go along with the better hygiene and clean water our ancestors didn’t have. Add to this the knowledge of modern medical science. And when we include the techniques used in building our Prosperity Engine, unhealthy stress levels would disappear, leaving us empowered in both mind and body to heal just about any condition. It seems feasible that lifespans could reach 150 years or more when all factors are aligned with good health.
But can we have too much money, too many possessions or too much influence? Is there overwhelm to be found in these areas?
Yes, there is. A glut of prosperity can overwhelm our humility, turning us into arrogant, egotistical and dangerously destructive tyrants. These effects don’t need to happen, especially if we become more critically self-aware, more humble to the needs of others, and less attached to things—things like health, social status and influence.
Laziness
Laziness is a condition which mimics a lack of energy. But instead of reflecting an actual condition, it reveals a toxic decision.
The hypnotic spell of laziness may be locked in place by a poisonous belief—one which holds such idleness as desirable, or as a status symbol. Other attitudes may include a sense of misguided pleasure from doing nothing.
Retirement has been a major source of death for countless millions of senior citizens. The idle lack of purpose or lack of self-value can create mountains of stress in an individual that makes them far more susceptible to disease or self-harm.
More energy is created from purpose-driven activity.
There is nothing wrong with being more efficient with our work and having more time to do things with our families. That is a responsible type of lifestyle. The problem with prosperity and no purpose is that ego finds purpose in greater and greater evil. Some rich turn to evil to help assuage their increasingly extreme boredom.
Exercising Our Control Over Energy
<<< Pix: 04 >>>
The most basic exercises for gaining more control over anything—including energy—involve merely increasing our awareness of the thing or condition.
Increasing our reality over a given topic gives us more understanding—the result of increasing any one vertex of the A-R-C triangle (affinity, reality, communication). Understanding or knowledge can lead to control or power over a given thing or condition.
Imagine, for instance, the amount of energy required to lift one of our fingers half a millimeter. Or imagine the amount of energy required for a gnat to fly one centimeter. Not much! But it’s not nothing.
Now, imagine the amount of energy required to buy one gumball from a mechanical vending machine. Personally, I haven’t seen one of these things in ages, but it used to cost one penny in America—the smallest denomination of currency in those United States.
And next, imagine buying one gumball for every individual on Earth over the age of three. The cost of purchase alone could require millions of dollars. Delivery of each gumball could require a far greater amount.
Leveraging Our Imagination—Using the Virgo Supercluster Emperor Identity
Here, we will indulge in a creative fantasy in order to stretch our imaginations. Prepare yourself for an extreme “what-if.”
No matter what your financial goals are, they are nothing compared to the wealth of The Emperor.
We’re not talking about any, measly Earth emperor—but THE Emperor—ruler of the local supercluster of galaxies—sovereign of the Ten Trillion Suns.
Within the known universe, there are an estimated 10 Million superclusters, each one containing an average of 2,000–3,000 large galaxies, and 40,000–100,000 dwarf galaxies.
Our one, medium-large, Milky Way galaxy is only one of about 2,500 large galaxies of the Virgo Supercluster. And within the Milky Way we have roughly 200 Billion suns. Though most of these suns are red dwarfs, there are a sufficient number of middle-aged, yellow dwarf suns, like our own Sol (heart of the Solar System), to give us tens of thousands of Earth-like worlds.
Our Earth is currently valued at a little more than $5 Quadrillion. And with an estimated 200 Million Earth-like worlds in The Emperor’s domain, his net worth hovers around $100 Sextillion (a one followed by 23 zeroes).
Now, imagine that we discover you to be The Emperor, visiting Earth incognito. The idea of gaining a trillion dollars seems instantly easy, because this paltry amount is less than “pocket lint” to The Emperor. But The Emperor is far more wealthy than even the above estimate.
Though most of the other worlds in your domain are not as valuable as Earth, they are not worth nothing. Far from it. The value of the untapped resources is nothing short of astronomical—both literally and figuratively.
As Emperor of the Virgo Supercluster, your support staff have infiltrated Earth’s cultures to assist you at a moment’s notice with any help you desire.
In this fantasy, The Emperor has no concern of being bumped off by a distant cousin. All of the advanced societies know and love their Emperor. Any assassin would not last while the Emperor grows a new body past infancy.
Why would you visit such a small and sparse group of galaxies within the Supercluster, especially when there are numerous, far larger clusters than the Local Group of galaxies (three large galaxies: the Milky Way, Andromeda Galaxy [M31] and Triangulum Galaxy [M33], and numerous dwarfs)? Perhaps you’re scouting talent. Or perhaps you merely thrill at practicing the building of a new mega-fortune from scratch using your own Prosperity Engine.
And taking a century or two for a vacation is nothing in the life of The Supercluster Emperor.
The Emperor Perspective
What’s the value in an exercise like this? It stretches our perception for what it means to be rich or to be poor. To The Emperor, everyone on Earth is dirt poor. Even the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers are paupers on this backwater planet. So, by arriving on Earth incognito, The Emperor is slumming it. A local staff of a thousand can help The Emperor with anything he requires, but he likes to wing it, testing the limits of his mental and spiritual, poise and stamina.
So, the next time you feel any hint of difficulty with gaining your prosperity, remember your “inner Emperor.” Let the confidence based in that viewpoint sustain you.
Of course, even The Emperor persona has its limitations. Ultimately, we want to cultivate the viewpoint of a “Conduit for Infinite Prosperity,” where any amount has zero importance. But this exercise of the imagination will help us approach the perfection of the Prosperity Engine.
Benefits From Energy Exercises
<<< Pix: 05 >>>
If ever we feel pressed for funds (scarcity) or bored with our prosperity (“too much” or “lacking altruistic purpose”), we can manipulate energy to accomplish just what we need. We can actually create energy, breaking the law of conservation of energy and mass.
Having energy, however, can create in some individuals a sense of entitlement or arrogance. This happens to the rich who look down their noses at the disadvantaged in society. In a very real sense, the physical dimension or element of energy is opposite to the spiritual element of humility.
Being humble to the needs of others by anonymously flowing energy to them—food, money, medicine or other resources—can contribute to the overall health of humanity. This is the heroic thing to do. And practicing these energy exercise, and others, can help us loosen our grip on energy, giving up the scarcity of attachment, and allowing the abundance of generosity.
Energy Gratitude Affirmations
Here are a few Energy Gratitude Affirmations. I encourage you to create a few of your own.
I feel so incredibly grateful for my beating heart, my breathing lungs and the energy to move my body.
I feel comfortably grateful for having the money I currently make.
I feel relaxed and gratefully patient to the immense fortune headed my way.
I feel wonderfully comfortable anonymously sharing my immense prosperity with others who need money more than I.
Prosperity Engine Progress
One delightful result of all this work—both looking at the details that might go into building a Prosperity Engine, and doing the work of cleaning up the beliefs involved—is the effect of what I call stirring up the “dust.” Though this can seem painful, at times, I have immense gratitude for this “dust” storm because I means potential progress, especially if I do the work to clean up all that mental “dust.”
In a sense, this requires a great deal of internal “housecleaning.” But one thing I realized today is that we don’t need to clean up everything in order to start seeing the benefits. This might be obvious to some, but not to others, and thus needs to be said.
What needs to be cleaned up are the active “beliefs” or subconscious “feelings” about the elements of our lives. The dormant feelings can be cleaned up later, and we should not put that off too long. Better to be proactive about such things, otherwise we might find a life-ending “karma boomerang” hitting us when we least expect it. Even then, we need to practice gratitude and forgiveness. But all other things being equal, it seems the more responsible thing to do for us to take care of all such “housecleaning” before it becomes a hazard to the current body or to others.
What we need to accomplish to start running our Prosperity Engine I call the “Zero Spot”—the point of zero ego on all active vectors of attention and intention. In other words, no fear or aversion on the negative side of zero ego, and no desire or need on the positive side of zero ego. This applies particularly to wealth, in the case of our Prosperity Engine, but it remains helpful to include other topics, too, like health, romance, relationships, social interaction, communication, productivity, ethical behavior, etc.
Each morning for the last few weeks, I have woken up each morning to a new flurry of emotional “dust”—things like worry, guilt, subdued panic, sadness, doubt, fear, and even the one bout where I became critically aware of the seemingly nebulous “blah” mentioned a few days ago (Paramita Abundance).
I have been assaulted by all manner of negative feelings—temptations like anger, retribution, conflict, desire for chocolate, and even a need to prove myself. All of these are positive or negative intentions borne out of ego, but all negative from the standpoint of spirit. This periodic “dust” storm of the soul could be overwhelming to some, but I merely “dust” off my mental self, and smile with gratitude that I’m generating so much activity and change.
I don’t worry about creating an empowering decision (belief) for each bit of “dust.” I merely take one at random and handle it, converting the negative to a positive, feeling grateful for the new meaning, and then taking the next one at random.
In a way, it’s like swimming through a cesspool. On one level, it’s not at all pleasant, but from a larger perspective I feel great joy at the progress. Even if my actions don’t appear to be making progress—figuratively treading water—each time I cast my awareness in that direction, I gain new understanding of the overall shape and texture of the challenge ahead. This “Work,” as David Bayer calls it, is something for which I remain deeply grateful, because finally I’m moving in the direction of stable, constant creation, instead of sporadic, occasional miracles.
The more I do this, the more the lessons of the Ancient Masters—Lao Tzu, Yeshua Christ of Nazareth, Siddhartha Gautama Buddha and others—become more vividly real and the more those lessons make sense.
Dr. Joe Dispenza once said, “The emotional signature of gratitude means, ‘The event has already happened,’ or ‘It’s happening to you.’ So, the moment you open your heart and you feel gratitude, well, that emotion, then, is telling the body that the experience has already occurred. And the thought, then, can make it into the body because it’s [the body is] consistent with the thought.”
Said another way, the subconscious mind is no longer refusing to accept a different kind of thought, but now welcomes it. The two thoughts—conscious and subconscious—are now in harmony. But this is only the superficial, physical effect which activates creation and manifestation. This is the method of tricking the subconscious into pointing in the right direction so the spirit “asks” for the “right” item, rather than from the mystery package from the dark past. And gratitude activates the “not know” or “resting” or “allowing” which produces the persistence of the desired manifestation.

Tomorrow, we look at the physical element or dimension of mass, continuing our exercises to achieve spiritual mastery over physical reality.
