Roger Hamilton Newsletter April 2006

How has your 1st quarter of 2006 been? Have you changed your job? Changed your organization? Changed your life? XL Results Foundation had a historic month in March, with the launch of the XL Social Enterprise Accreditation Plan. Offering recognition to Social Enterprises, this plan has a target to reach $100 million in annual donations by 2020. In this first year, our target was to reach $two million in pledges from participating firms. Inside a week of its launch at the Entrepreneur Company School, the System has already attracted over $14.6 million in pledges from participating organizations, surpassing all our expectations.

This weeks newsletter is about the origins of Wealth Dynamics, and how such magic happens:

THE ORIGINS OF WEALTH DYNAMICS

All men are produced equal

- Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Exact same, same, but diverse

- Well-known Thai Expression, 2006

Wealth Dynamics, the profiling program for entrepreneurs, is based on a basic premise that we are not created equal. We all have innate qualities that set us apart, and it is precisely in these differences that we discover our exclusive path and contribution in life.

Over 20,000 entrepreneurs have taken the Wealth Dynamics test in the final five years, giving them a focus on what they really should and shouldnt be performing to adhere to their natural path of action and attraction. Every of the eight Wealth Dynamics profiles has its personal game with diverse rules, teams, tactics, winning formulas and losing formulas. Every single identifies the frequency at which you operate in life where you learn your flow and tune in to your purpose. These who have taken the test have located an intuitive resonance with their path.

If these frequencies fit so naturally, exactly where did they come from? When had been they first identified? And why didnt we find out all this at school?

Ahead of we became so busy after the invention of such factors as TVs, combustion engines and electricity, people seemed to have a lot a lot more time to contemplate the globe we reside in. The most evolved and influential civilization 5,000 years ago was Ancient China, which, according to Chinese mythology, was ruled by three mythical sovereigns until around 2,800BC. The 1st of these, Heavenly King Fu Xi, created the I Ching which became Chinas Oracle for the next four,800 years. Even though Fu Xi was mythical, the I Ching is really true. It evolved more than 4 dynasties and 2,000 years before becoming the basis for Chinas two central philosophies, Taoism and Confucianism in 600BC. These have influenced wide ranging locations to this day, from Buddhism, and Feng Shui to our formalized household, government and legal systems.

In the starting there was as however no moral or social order. Then came Fu Xi who looked upward and contemplated the pictures in the heavens, and looked downward and contemplated the occurrences on earth. He united man and wife, regulated the five stages of alter, and laid down the laws of humanity. He devised the eight trigrams, in order to acquire mastery more than the planet.

From the I Ching.

The I Ching is an extremely profound insight into the nature of our spot in this universe. Translated as The Book of Changes, it is based on the observation that everything flows from a dynamic balance of opposites, that time alterations in nature as a outcome of this flow, and that within these ever-altering tides there is an immovable, ultimate path for each of us. (The Tao, implies The Way). The I Ching is a lot more than a philosophical thesis. The I Ching is an incredibly intricate study and mapping of time a mapping similar to the mapping of DNA. Once the 64 codons of DNA had been identified in the 1990s, we had the building blocks to decode the genetic sequence of all living factors. So as well, when the I Ching mapped time 4,800 years earlier, it gave Chinese masters a complete method to decode time.

In the I Ching, 64 Hexagrams combining Yin and Yang make up the entire DNA of time (and energy). These interplay with the five elements of spot (and matter): Wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The philosophy behind this code is based on the renowned circular image of the Taiji: The perpetual interplay of Yin & Yang, Night & Day, Male & Female. The universe was seen as a continual flux, and we have the chance to reside in resonance with this flux by understanding it and following our path within it, or to be in a continuous battle against it. (Significantly as a excellent surfer picks the correct wave not by riding the wave, but by reading the ocean).

As we are born from energy to matter, we take on varying qualities of the very first 4 components, and it is this combination that defines our differences. Wealth Dynamics follows nearly all modern psychometric testing, which requires its roots from the I Ching with 1 really considerable distinction

The I Ching remained inaccessible to the Western World for the very first 4,000 years of its life. This changed in 1911 when Richard Wilhelm, a German missionary and scholar in China, met Lao Nai-hsuan, a Chinese sage in the I Ching. Lao believed it was time for the Western world to find out of the I Ching, and from 1913 to 1921 the two of them worked with each other at translating the intricacies of the I Ching into German. Lao died in 1921 as soon as the translation was completed, and Wilhelm took the translation back to Germany.

It was here that he met psychoanalyst, Carl Jung. Jung had been Sigmund Freuds understudy for six years, and he had fallen out with his mentor more than differences in their secure server space views of the unconscious. Although Freud believed that we are the outcome of our family and social conditioning, Jung believed we are born with inherent traits. When Wilhelm showed Jung his translation of the I Ching, it had a profound effect on Jung, to the extent that Jung secure ftp sites wrote the introduction to the book and helped to get the I Ching published. From the I Ching and his conversations with Wilhelm, Jung gained a new clarity into the nature of character types:

For the very first time this profoundest function of the Orient was introduced to the West in a living and comprehensible style. What he told me, out of his wealth of information of the Chinese mentality, clarified some of the most hard problems that the European unconscious had posed for me.

Carl Jung

Jungs new insights led to the basis of Jungian psychological typing, which subsequently led to psychometric testing models such as Myers-Briggs and DISC profiling. These tests take the nature of opposites in the initial four Chinese elements: Wood/Spring, Fire/Summer, Earth/Autumn and Metal/Winter, and relate them to introversion/extroversion, intuitive/sensory and so on. Myers-Briggs eight pairings of varieties match the eight main trigrams of the I Ching. To this extent, Wealth Dynamics shares a widespread source in Carl Jung. So why must we go back to the I Ching? What did Jung miss in his typing model?

The significant distinction in Wealth Dynamics to other psychometric tests is in its relation to time and the fifth element, water. Jung discarded the fifth element as it did not fit into the Western model of four static components. As a outcome, he ended with a static model of the unconscious based on 4 elements, exactly where time merely played a lead to-and-impact function in life. This was ugly and incomplete, and Jung knew it.

Jung turned his attention to the intentional coincidences and total inter-connectedness of all factors that the I Ching philosophy not only allowed, but expected. This led to him creating and naming two ideas which today are effectively known: The universal unconscious, and synchronicity (a term he utilized for the initial time at Richard Wilhelms funeral in 1930). He built this into a full theory of synchronicity in 1952, but he never ever managed to reconcile this work on the flow of time and consciousness with his static psychological typing, and he died in 1961.

To this day, Jungian character testing treats our character traits as static components with small relationship to levels of consciousness or spirit. By contrast, in Wealth Dynamics spirit is essential as it is our entrepreneurial spirit that will figure out our wealth.

Whilst modern day science and spirit have often been divided in the West, the East has always taken a far secure hosting server more holistic view that time, matter and spirit are necessarily interconnected. While the 4 Greek elements are based on physical components, the five Chinese elements are not elements at all, but states of adjust. Fire does not refer to fire, but the state that fire is in when it warms. Wood does not refer to the wood in trees, but the state that wood is in when it grows. The 5 Chinese elements could a lot more accurately be described as: Grow (Wood), Glow (Fire), Slow (Earth), Know (Metal) and Flow (Water). Even though Western culture has focused on a static physical planet, with alterations based on cause-and-impact (till the advent of quantum mechanics), Chinese culture has often focused on states of adjust, where absolutely nothing is static and exactly where we encounter completely diverse realities in the context of our state of adjust in any moment in time.

Wealth Dynamics refers to these five states as frequencies. When we tune in to our frequency (and we all have a dominant frequency), we experience a different reality, and we begin to attract the correct people, resources and possibilities as if by luck. A lot of people call this our flow. Not surprisingly, flow is what we find in water, the fifth element. As we follow the strategies to resonate with our natural frequency, we increasingly tune into and encounter flow.

"These coincidences, which Jung termed synchronicity, are positive signs you are in the flow Flow is a harmony of becoming that has been sought after through the centuries in the spiritual traditions of the planet. In the East, it has been linked to the Tao, the underlying interconnectedness of the Universe. In our lives, flow is apparent in those instances when issues take place effortlessly, every thing falls into place, obstacles melt away, and our timing is excellent. In those occasions, we feel a deep sense of harmony and underlying order. We know we are in the right place, at the correct time, performing specifically the proper factor."

- Charlene Belitz & Meg Lundstrum, The Power of Flow

Flow is not an ethereal concept in Wealth Dynamics, but an achievable state, reached by way of a natural step-by-step path that every of us can tread - since a lot of have tread the path before us. (4,800 years ahead of us, in reality).

The end objective of Wealth Dynamics is not just to know your profile. It is to determine your path, to tune in to your flow, and to fulfill your true prospective.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence

is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.

- Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

AND Finally

You will not see Paul Newman on the list of Hollywood top earners, but Newman has given away more than $200 million much more than most of todays most successful Hollywood actors have ever created. He didnt make that income from films. He produced it from salad dressing.

He began his business, Newmans Personal on a wager that folks wouldnt buy his salad dressing. From day a single, he declared that all earnings would go to charity. In the initial year, Newmans Personal was successful adequate to donate close to $1 million to charity. By 2006, the firm had reached an astounding $200 million in donations to charities.

Whats a lot more, the good results of Newmans Own has because catapulted Newmans involvement in philanthropy to an completely new level. Newmans encounter inspired him to launch the Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) in 1999. In the five years considering that launch, the CECP has encouraged corporate giving in America. Right now, the CECP is chaired by Citigroups CEO, Sandy Weill, and the membership list is a whos who of Americas top CEOs and Chairmen, representing organizations that gave more than $7 billion to charities in 2005.

Newmans uncompromising strategy to creating a distinction is summed up in the slogan of his firm, Newmans Own:

Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Typical Good

If Butch Cassidy can have this sort of achievement, what can you obtain? What will you alter in the coming quarter? Alter the dressing? Modify the channel? Modify the planet?

Belief, courage, action
