Key Takeaways
1. The Traditional Money Game is Unwinnable and Based on False Rules
What I’m about to share with you in this book is going to go against the grain of everything you’ve learned since childhood, and most likely everything you’ve believed to be true all your life.
Money is a game. We've been taught that money is serious business, but it's actually a complex game with arbitrary rules, regulations, and structures that we accept without question. Like football or baseball, its rules seem natural but are made up.
The game is designed to fail. No matter how well you play the traditional Money Game or how much money you accumulate, you can't truly win. There's no clear definition of winning, your money is always at risk, there's no official ending point, and there's always a significant price to pay in stress, anxiety, pain, or loss.
The rules are lies. The core rules we've been taught are fundamentally untrue.
- Limited supply: False.
- Money moves (in/out flow): False.
- Must work harder/smarter to increase supply: False.
These false rules and associated beliefs ("money is the root of all evil," "there's never enough") were designed to create limitation and keep you from realizing your true potential.
2. Your True Identity is Infinite, Powerful Consciousness
Who you really are is an infinitely powerful and magnificent being.
You are Consciousness. Beyond the physical body and personality you identify with (the Persona), your true identity is an infinitely powerful, wise, and abundant being. This is what scientists on the cutting edge of quantum physics call Consciousness.
Infinite potential. As Consciousness, you have unlimited power and creative ability. Your natural state is one of Infinite Abundance, joyfulness, and peace.
The sun and clouds. Think of your true self as the sun – always shining with infinite power. The limitations and problems you experience are like clouds you've created and put in front of the sun, convincing yourself they are real and the sun is gone.
3. Everything You Experience is a Holographic Illusion Created by You
There’s no out there out there.
Reality is a hologram. Cutting-edge science suggests that the tangible reality we perceive is an illusion, a projection from a deeper level of existence called the Zero Point Field (The Field). This Field is energy with infinite potential.
Consciousness creates. Your Consciousness (the Real You) interacts with The Field. When Consciousness focuses on The Field with a specific intent, it collapses infinite possibility into a single possibility, creating a pattern.
Pattern + Power = Illusion. Your Consciousness applies power to this pattern, causing it to pop out as a holographic illusion that appears absolutely real.
- Your body, other people, objects, places, events – all are holographic illusions.
- Money, bank accounts, bills, income, debt – all are holographic illusions.
- The illusion must be incredibly detailed and convincing, or the "game" would end.
4. The Human Game Explores Limitation, Then Reclaiming Power
You came here to play a game!
The Human Game's purpose. As an Infinite Being, you chose to play the ultimate game: exploring what happens when you limit unlimited power, wisdom, and abundance. The Money Game is a major part of this exploration.
Two phases. The game has two phases:
- Phase 1: You use your power to hide your true identity and create illusions of limitation, restriction, and separation, convincing yourself they are real.
- Phase 2: After deeply immersing in limitation, your Expanded Self nudges you to seek truth, reclaim your hidden power, and remember who you are, ultimately playing without limits.
The Treasure Hunt. Phase 2 is a treasure hunt to find the "eggs" (patterns) in The Field where you hid your power in Phase 1. Reclaiming this power dissolves the illusions of limitation.
5. Other People Are Actors in Your Hologram, Reflecting You
Everyone else in your hologram is an actor who says and does what you ask him or her to say and do.
Not separate. The people you interact with in your hologram are not truly separate from you. They are other aspects of your Consciousness, created from patterns in The Field by your Expanded Self.
Playing roles. These "actors" are given "scripts" by your Expanded Self to play specific roles in your total immersion movie. They have no independent power or decision-making authority in your hologram beyond what you give them.
Their purpose:
- To reflect something back you're thinking or feeling about yourself or a belief you have.
- To share supportive knowledge, wisdom, or insight with you.
- To set something in motion to support you on your journey.
Focus on your own hologram and your own creations. Trying to understand or control others' holograms leads to a "tangled hierarchy" that cannot be resolved logically.
6. Discomfort Reveals Where Your Power is Hidden in Limiting Patterns
The greatest amount of power is hidden where you feel discomfort.
Power disguised. The intense feelings of discomfort you experience (fear, anxiety, anger, shame, frustration) are actually raw power you invested in creating limiting illusions in Phase 1. The more intense the discomfort, the more power is available to reclaim.
Eggs of limitation. Limiting patterns in The Field are reinforced by:
- Beliefs: Ideas you accept as true (e.g., "money is scarce").
- Judgment: Labeling beliefs/creations as "good" or "bad" ("I don't have enough money, that's bad"). Judgment is the glue that keeps illusions locked in place.
- Consequences: Rewards or punishments you associate with beliefs/judgments (late fees, feeling prosperous).
Discomfort is a signal. In Phase 2, discomfort is a gift, a flashing red sign from your Expanded Self saying, "There's power here! Come get me!" It points you to the eggs where you hid the most power.
7. Appreciation is the True Currency of Infinite Abundance
The real purpose of money is to express appreciation for the magnificence of yourself as the Creator of everything you experience and the magnificence of all your creations as you create and experience them.
Beyond exchange. Money's true purpose is not just efficient exchange for goods and services. It is a symbol for the expression of appreciation.
Appreciating your creations. Every time you "pay" for something (a bill, a purchase), you are expressing appreciation for the creation (the meal, the home, the service) and for yourself as the Creator of that experience.
Infinite supply of appreciation. Like love, you have an endless supply of appreciation. Expressing it doesn't diminish it; it expands your capacity to express and receive it.
The flow of abundance. As you dramatically increase your expression of appreciation (using money as the symbol), the flow of appreciation coming back to you in the form of money must expand. Your supply doesn't decrease when you spend; it loops back and increases.
8. The Process is the Key Tool to Reclaim Hidden Power
I reclaim my power from this creation NOW!
Reclaiming power. The Process is the primary tool to reclaim power from the limiting eggs in The Field that cause discomfort and financial limitation. It's how you dissolve the clouds hiding the sun of your true self.
The steps (core structure):
- Dive into the discomfort: Fully immerse yourself in the feeling.
- Feel the energy fully: Allow yourself to feel the intensity of the power.
- Tell The Truth: Affirm who you really are (Consciousness) and that you are creating this illusion.
- Reclaim your power: State your intention to take the power back from the creation.
- Open to Infinite Energy: Immerse yourself in the feeling of being an Infinite Being.
- Express Appreciation: Appreciate the magnificence of the creation and yourself as Creator.
Detachment is key. Apply The Process without the agenda of changing your hologram. You reclaim power to reclaim power. Wanting to fix or improve the illusion feeds the limitation.
9. The Mini-Process Addresses Limiting Illusions Without Discomfort
In Phase 2, you reverse the process and repeat to yourself over and over, “It’s an illusion, it’s an illusion, I’m creating it, I’m creating it,” as you reclaim your power from it.
Beyond discomfort. Not all limiting illusions cause intense discomfort (e.g., looking at a small bank balance without feeling panic, or seeing a price tag without wincing). These still point to limiting patterns.
The Mini-Process steps: This is used when you see a limiting illusion but don't feel significant discomfort. It's similar to The Process but skips the "dive into discomfort" step.
- State The Truth: Affirm who you are (Consciousness) and that you are creating this illusion.
- Reclaim your power: State your intention to take the power back.
- Open to Infinite Energy: Immerse yourself in the feeling of being an Infinite Being.
- Express Appreciation: Appreciate the creation and yourself as Creator.
Constant reaffirmation. Use the Mini-Process frequently on everyday financial illusions (bank statements, bills, prices) to constantly remind yourself they are not real and reclaim the power invested in them.
10. Empowering Vocabulary Reinforces Your New Reality
In Phase 2, we’re all about draining the power out of financially limiting eggs—not adding more power to them or keeping the status quo.
Language matters. The words and concepts we use reinforce our beliefs and the reality of the illusions we've created. Phase 1 language is steeped in scarcity, limitation, and external power.
Shift your self-talk. To support your shift into Phase 2 and Infinite Abundance, consciously change your internal vocabulary.
- Replace "Cost" with "Request for appreciation."
- Replace "Bill" with "Request for appreciation."
- Replace "Expense" with "Expression of appreciation."
- Replace "Price" with "Requested expression of appreciation."
- Replace "How much?" with "What is the requested appreciation for this creation?"
- Replace "Payment" with "Expression of appreciation."
Internal shift. While you may need to use Phase 1 language when speaking to others, internally use Phase 2 vocabulary and feel the truth behind the words. This helps drain power from old patterns.
11. Busting Loose Means Living from Infinite Abundance, Not Managing Scarcity
Once you’ve tapped into an unlimited supply of money through your Cosmic Overdraft Protection, what do any of the numbers matter?
The Busting Loose Point. This is the point where you've reclaimed enough power from foundational limiting patterns that you know, at a deep level, that you are creating everything and have infinite abundance.
Cosmic Overdraft Protection. After crossing this point, you have absolute confidence that your natural state of Infinite Abundance will cover any "expression of appreciation" (check you write).
No need to manage. There's no longer a need to check balances, track income/expenses, worry about net worth, or manage money. Why count or protect something that is infinite?
Breathing abundance. Living from Infinite Abundance becomes as natural and effortless as breathing. You trust that the "air" (abundance) will always be there.
12. Life Becomes About Creative Ecstasy and Playing Without Limits
Once you pass the Busting Loose Point, it’ll look how it looks for you.
Beyond limitation. After busting loose, you play The Human Game without the restrictions of the traditional Money Game. You are no longer driven by scarcity, need, or the desire to fix/improve the illusion.
Creative ecstasy. Life becomes about asking, "What do I want to play with now, just for the sheer fun of playing?" You create experiences and illusions (businesses, projects, relationships, adventures) for the pure joy of the creative process and the experience itself.
Following inspiration. You live in reactive mode, moment to moment, following what you feel genuinely motivated or inspired to do, trusting your Expanded Self's guidance.
Miraculous unfolding. As you continue to reclaim power and expand, your hologram changes naturally and effortlessly in amazing, often "weird," ways, reflecting your increasing appreciation and power. The story line doesn't matter; the joy of playing does.
