Wealth
There are several ways of calculating wealth:
Money, assets, etc.
World power, influence and connections
"The Confederation as well as most world religions embrace, calculates wealth as the “treasures in heaven” of contentment, joy, presence, realization and devotion to the service of the Creator and one’s fellow human beings. It is all in your point of view.” p.214

“There was a man upon your planet who had great wealth and in this wealth. He saw much power. For his fellow men would eagerly do his bidding to share part of this wealth. And, for the reason, many of those who dwell upon this planet, known to you as Earth, require vast quantities of material wealth and therefore acquire what they consider to be much power. What is not understood by those men is that in acquiring this wealth and in attempting to posses much power through this wealth, they are giving up and infinite amount of power for that which is in actuality no power at all.
The man of which I spoke, who had much wealth, used it to satisfy his desires. And his desires were for things which he thought he wanted and needed. For he saw in his wealth not a only a great happiness who come from possessing those things that he desired and having dominion over all of his fellow men about him, but also great security in that he would need not for for the rest of his days. And, therefore, coveted greatly his accumulation of wealth. And had at his command everything that he desired and great status.
But he lacked one thing. He lacked love. For it was not given to him by those about him. And this he did not understand. And he became aware if his need for this experience that he called love and he set about to discover how to obtain it. And he questioned those about him, and ask them why he was not given love. And they could not answer for they did not know.
And he went to a wise man and offered to pay him much of his wealth if he could but tell him how to obtain love. And the wise man gave unto the rich men all that he possessed was but a pitiful, small amount. And the man of great wealth accepted it. For he long ago resolved never to turn down a gift. And he left the wise man and went to his home and pondered this gift, leaving the wise man penniless, For he had not said the wise man. For the wise man had not told him how to find love.
And as the days passed, he returned to the wise man, for he could not understand why he had been given all that had been given by the one who was said to be so wise. And when he asked him, he was answered by the wise man who said “It is because I have great love for you and you desire wealth. Therefore I give you that which I have to add to your riches, for this is what you desire.” And at that moment, the man of great wealth looked at the wise man and said, “And in turn, I, for the first time, know love.”
And yet man on earth continues to seek with his material illusion; continues to seek that which is of no real value. For he lacks faith. He stands upon the surface of this planet and experiences all the gifts of his Creator. He breathes the air and smells the fragrance of the flowers, and is in the company of his fellow man and finds many things provided for him. And yet, he does not understand. He doe snot have faith that with this Creation, he is supplied, and due to this lack of faith, he finds hardships, for he does not understand faith. Therefore man, in many instances, does not seek the knowledge of the wise man. But he seeks a security and a powers that is not secure and is not power." p. 214, 215, 216;
Opinion by Nikki: Do you know anyone like this man in the story? Do you know a wise man? Do you know that love is our power and our riches. Right now we have the elite using their riches to cause harm and control life on this planet. They are very unhappy, ignorant beings. Love them like the wise man loved the rich man and accepted his desires.
