I have never been rich in a material fashion. I have never wanted to be. Certain fantasies appealed to me, and others did not. For some reason, earlier in life, I was around wealthy people for certain periods of time. These people had many millions of dollars or were going to get a whole lot of money at some point. I was meant to learn through observation what is and is not worth having. Material wealth is fine if you can handle it. It is not so fine when it handles you.
I remember some of these people... the ones who hadn’t gotten their money yet... talking about how they wouldn’t be like other people when they got all that money. I cannot remember a single one of those people who proved to be the exception. It occurred to me later on... that every situation I was in... I was in to learn from. This may be the case for all of us, but it was especially true for me.
Sometimes, I would learn the lesson with little difficulty, and no difficulty followed after. Sometimes, I did not... or was unwilling to learn a particular lesson and so... the following situations... concerning the lesson unlearned... became harder and sterner, and this has followed me until recent years. The Divine was determined that I would learn what was real and substantive about life and... what was ephemeral. There is still more to learn, of course; there is ALWAYS more to learn, and... it can be easy, once you get an understanding of how it all works, or it can get brutal when you don’t understand or... are unwilling to understand.
