This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes from John.
You said that our level of consciousness determines our results. But I look at people who seem to have a terrible consciousness—they’re negative, they’re selfish, they treat people badly—and they’re successful and wealthy. How does that work if consciousness determines results? Shouldn’t they be broke and miserable based on their consciousness?
You’re making a judgment about what consciousness is. Consciousness isn’t about being nice or positive or spiritual. Consciousness is about what you’re aware of.
A person can be aware that they can make money and be completely unaware of how to have good relationships. So they’ll be wealthy and lonely. That’s not a contradiction—that’s just what they’re conscious of.
You’re also confusing consciousness with morality. The laws of the universe don’t care if you’re a good person or a bad person. They respond to what you’re conscious of.
If someone’s conscious that they can make money, they’ll make money—regardless of whether they’re kind or cruel, generous or selfish. The law doesn’t judge. It just responds.
Now, here’s what you’re probably not seeing: those people might be successful in one area, but I guarantee you they’re struggling in other areas. Nobody gets away with low consciousness in every area of life. It shows up somewhere.
Maybe they’re wealthy but their health is terrible. Maybe they’re successful but their relationships are a disaster. Maybe they have everything but they’re miserable inside.
You can’t violate universal law in one area and not pay for it somewhere else. It always balances out.
So don’t look at someone’s bank account and assume they’re operating from high consciousness. Look at the totality of their life. Look at their health, their relationships, their peace of mind, their freedom.
Real high consciousness creates success in all areas. Not just money. All areas.
And if someone’s only winning in one area while everything else is falling apart, that’s not high consciousness. That’s compensation.
