In fact, if we look at the motivations behind our thoughts and action conscious and unconscious they are all to get us closer to the feeling, or at least the idea, of happiness. Some of us have long asked why we cannot hold on to happiness. For all of the scholarship and human insights across the centuries, nobody has found a complete and enduring answer. Perhaps because it has been too close to see… The ans …

I decided to start this group because of the common misconception that Spirituality and wealth are mutually exclusive concepts. More often than not, the image of Spirituality is one of lack of abundance and sacrifice. The purpose of this group is to show that it is not only ok, but preferable for Spiritual people to live lives of abundance. Money is not the root of all evil, the love or attachment to money is the root of evil. We will play the game Abundance to practice the principles necess …
