It’s the last
Rule and I guess we can have some fun. Creating wealth is as varied and
different an adventure for each of us as anything else. We can work for it, win
the lottery or a poker game (mind you it would have to be a pretty big one),
inherit it, steal it, be awarded it as a prize (Nobel Peace Prize for
literature – you do get around $1.3 million ‘“. Gulp. Put my name forward at
once please, somebody. Or what about the Templeton
Prize, which gets you $1.4 million), or find it in the street (lots of
examples on the Internet of people finding huge wads of cash), marry into it,
you name it. And of course if you are really desperate there is the old pact
with the devil – but beware of gotcha clauses.

The Chinese believe, via feng
shui, that if you leave your loo seat up, your money will get flushed
away. I wonder if this is a modern invention because I have no evidence of
flushing loos in China when feng
shui was being established in the Taoist
eras. Then there are affirmations – you write down the wealth you want and pin
it up so you can see it everyday and chant it out hundreds of times. It might
work. Then there’s writing it down and putting it under your pillow so you’ll
dream of where your wealth is buried.

Then there’s the
cosmic ordering service – you tell the great cosmic bank how much it owes you
and it repays you immediately – there has got to be a catch there somewhere
knowing banks; they’re all the same I reckon. Then there are money maps and
money boards – you cut up pictures of expensive stuff you can buy and would
want and make a sort of scrapbook but as a board, and look at it a lot I guess.
It might work.

Then there are
crystals – you wear one/sleep with it/carry it around. Certain crystals
resonate with the cosmic bank (them again) and it’s a sort of rock cheque I guess. Dowsing? You follow hazel rods (or bits of
bent coat hangers and empty Biros depending on which books you read) which
twitch when you are above buried treasure or a seam of gold or one of those
ring-pull things off the top of a beer can. Bit like a metal detector but
doesn’t need batteries.

I suppose you
could buy a racehorse but it seems so very risky to me. How about painting a
masterpiece and hanging on in there until (a) it gets valuable or (b) you get
dead? Laying down fine wines? Could work but I couldn’t resist the temptation I
think. I am not scoffing at any of these methods. However you intend gaining
prosperity, you should get on with it, believe in it, follow it, give 100 per
cent to it and not listen to others including me.

Especially me.
Good luck.
