People who add vs. people who subtract

There are two types of people:
 
1. Those who add to life (net result)
2. Those who subtract or extract from life (net result)
 
These are also the only two ways to get rich: By adding to people’s lives (and them rewarding you for it) or by subtracting from their lives (theft, trickery, deceit).
 
There are only two paths. There appear to be thousands, they are all variations. Most people are a mix. That’s fine, but if you wish to have a better life, there should be more on the adding side.
 
If I tell you what percentage live almost purely in an adding-to-life reality, you’d probably get offended, so I’ll keep quiet.
 
In an untrained, default state, the human mind cares about nobody else. It only cares about its own survival.
 
Yes, that means nobody cares about you.
 
But through personal choice and intention you can get yourself to care about others.
 
This puts you to a whole other level of reality, a higher consciousness. Caring about someone or something outside of yourself frees you from the abyss of self-absorption. It also makes you successful. And it makes you more happy. It activates your heart/soul and lets you transcend the mind.
 
It also means you join category 1, people who add to life.
 
Adding vs. Subtracting can be subtle. For example, consider this post. What is my motive for writing it? Is it to subtract attention from you? To subtract likes? Or is the motive to help, inspire, make smarter, make stronger? It depends on my intention. I need to check my motives so that I stay on the adding-lane.
 
You should be able to FEEL the difference by raw intuition. I don’t enjoy spending too much time on social media because the motive is often to extract attention instead of adding to my life.
 
What percentage of people add vs. subtract? I said I wasn’t going to talk about this because it may offend you. I was joking. Let’s take as an example any random article I write on my website. An average of 25 000 people read it. An average of 50 people “like” it. An average of 8 people “share” it.
 
Meaning? The overwhelming majority extract or take without giving back. Internet and AI have conditioned them to be extractors, consumers, takers.
 
If you extrapolate this to society has a whole, you see why the world is in the state it is.
 
So if this is the case, why do I keep posting articles? Well, it’s my way of ADDING. I don’t care if anyone reciprocates, I care about adding. If they reciprocate, they are adding.
 
As long as I am adding, I am staying in an abundance-field. It’s impossible to get into financial trouble in such a field.
 
“But I don’t understand. You don’t get paid anything for writing these articles. How does that make you money?”
 
As I teach in “Money Training” (8 more days until the live event!!!), the money doesn’t necessarily come from the same place the work was invested into. That sounds mystical, metaphysical, but it’s the way energy works.
 
I once had a visitor to my house who “accidentally” wrecked my car, broke my coffee machine and broke my washing machine. Can you imagine the type of subtracting-funk this person must have been in to negatively jinx everything?
 
In contrast to that, I’ve also had someone over who only added. After he left our cat was healed from a stomach issue, our mood was improved and he even know how to fix a problem we were having with our oven (though that’s not the reason he visited).
 
Genuine care about others is extremely rare. On the journey up the scale of consciousness, the first step is to acknowledge that you don’t give a damn about others. There are very many people who won’t even admit that to themselves. And by never admitting it, they stay stuck in it. Saying “I really don’t care about all these people one iota” is actually a sign of progress. The next step is to find out who you would like to care about, and intend to genuinely care. Finally, at the highest level of consciousness, care and appreciation extends to all lifeforms. This process usually takes from birth to death and is one of the reasons you’re on Earth.
