Truth and Appearance
I just had an interesting illustration of one of the points in The Science of Getting Rich program that I have been listening too.
As I was on my way to the bank, I was listening to session 4: The First Principle on my MP3 Player, and I was at the portion where Bob Proctor talks about thinking truth rather than appearance, about focusing on the truth that we will get what we desire, rather than on what is currently happening around us (at least that is the way I understood it).
So, I got to the teller, gave him the card with my account details, and asked for the amount of money I wanted. He then told me that we did not have enough money in the account.
I experienced a brief moment of panic on hearing this, before I realized what had happened: I had given him the wrong card, with one of my other accounts… I gave him the right card, with the information about the account which had more than enough on it to cover what I needed and got my money.
This for me illustrates the point that I was listening to on my way there… Very often, we look at what we are getting in the moment (the wrong account), while forgetting that we have so much more in store for us than is ver apparent (my other account… Not that it is that huge, yet…). We need to remember to think about what we desire, and to know that it is out there.
I am very grateful for the synchronicity that happened to me (about 15min ago), and the universe’s illustration on the importance of awareness of the truth.
Wow… that is very inspiring. I couldn’t agree more – we need to really see the truth in situations! The fact the what we experience in the present is really due to our past thoughts and that it is not at all determining our future. But our current thoughts will effect our future. So lets really choose our current thoughts wisely

We are finite creatures that can only exist in the present. For us to experience depression form the past, or anxiety in regards to the future, limits our true potential in the present moment.
Thanks for your perspective on our personal reality check.
The possibilities for us are hughe and often we just focus on smaller details. It is about having a broad mind and have visions. Thanks, I will bear it in mind!
That was a quite interesting story! Neat
I’m glad the bank fiasco worked out for you. It’s crazy when you realize you’ve made a small mistake like that, and then realize that you almost went into a panic.
Well – to an extent we should think about what we desire, and know that it is out there, but I think its equally important to stop and reflect about how far you have already come and just to be happy with what you have in the moment, it is right to be ambitious but you need to balance that with living in the present and being thankfull with your lot. Yes strive to better yourself and have goals for the future but if you never take the time to just be, how will you know when you have reached the goals that you set yourself in the past?
That’s a really odd yet interesting story. I think you would probably really enjoy a book I’m reading called What To Say When You Talk to Your Self.
It’s all about this sort of idea and really raises your consciousness about what you really think about. It’s certainly appropriate given your url title!
