Our inner beings think differently than (almost) everyone about net worth. In fact, our inner beings only understand infinite net worth.
Let’s build a little acceptance on the subject.
None of this is financial advice. Always consult your financial advisor.
Defining net worth
Your net worth is your assets minus your liabilities, what you own minus what you owe.
This definition is useful in many ways. We can’t simply borrow a million dollars because the new asset (the cash) would only offset the loan. In fact, borrowing like that would quickly drive your net worth downward as the liability would begin accruing interest immediately. Generally, we don’t count things like cars and furniture because they lose value so quickly, but we absolutely want to count any outstanding loans on such depreciating assets.
The equity in your home is the amount of your net worth attributable to your house. It’s a conservative sales price (remove the agent commission) minus the principal still owed on the loan. Bigger homes generally don’t increase net worth, but they are more likely to decrease it (all else equal) because the associated expenses are so much larger.
Recent college graduates with student loans often have hugely negative net worths. With no associated asset (other than a lifetime of work) to balance the debt liability, graduates start their lives on some unfortunate footing. When an in-demand major is chosen, the degree often pays for itself but only when the difference between one’s income and expenses is large and thrown at the principle of the loan.
Net worths at points in space-time are finite. We have a little work to do before we know what an infinite net worth is.
Our earlier post about Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) was a related discussion about investing a portion of one’s net worth to produce enough income to cover expenses. Financial independence, we assume, is a goal of many freedom-seeking people. Today’s post is about increasing net worth for any purpose, but can certainly be used to achieve FIRE sooner.
Defining the infinite
Mathematically speaking, infinity is not a number. Infinity is a shorthand meaning something that isn’t bounded. Sometimes it means unbounded in a particular direction, and today we mean it to be unbounded in the positive direction (please avoid negative net worths).
Also, we note that subtracting a finite (bounded) number from an infinite (unbounded) value is still infinite.
Things get really screwy really quickly when people reason about the infinities without this formality. In fact, our first post, God doesn’t know everything, yet, fixed the definition of omniscience with this formality.
In this physical world, the net worth of a human is very bounded. Assume our lifespan is bounded from above by some number, say, 120 years. Further, assume the most amount of money anyone could possibly earn on any given day is the sum of all the money on the planet (the largest sum over the 120 years), call that Y. Then the largest anyone’s net worth could ever be is bounded by B = 120 x 365 x Y. Inheritances complicate this a little, so we can multiple B by the number of generations that have come before (a relatively small number compared to Y) to get the real answer. It’s sloppily large, but it’s an upper bound.
Breaking either assumption above could break the finite upper bound. A character that lives forever, like an AI bot, would have more years to accumulate wealth. If the planet’s money supply continues to increase like it’s 2020, then everyone’s net worth will inflate upward when priced in fiat currency.
In a hyper-inflating currency, such an upper bound would not exist. Everyone has infinite net worth when priced in worthless currency.
Infinite perspective and infinite net worth
Our inner beings know no limits, except maybe the boundaries of what’s currently known. If the desire for more money is present, your inner being becomes that immediately. Then it’s up to our physical selves to catch up. That is, we can play the actual game.
So what is net worth from the point of view of our inner beings? They can be or do or have anything they want, immediately. The assets and liabilities definition doesn’t make sense.
When your inner being has a portion of itself plugged into the physical world (that’s you dear reader), it revels in the daily experience of the incarnation. It gives you everything you ask for. Entire universes are swapped to facilitate even the most frivolous of desires, and there is no limit.
“If this Time-Space-Reality has the wherewithal to give you a desire, it has the wherewithal to produce and deliver it to you.”
Abraham
Here’s our definition of the day: your inner being has an infinite net worth meaning there is no bound to the net worth that can be produced in any of its incarnations.
The maximum length of time each incarnation “lives” in a physical body is unbounded from the inner being’s perspective (but might be limited by the usefulness of the physical universe it’s exploring). Desires born out of the physical experience are only limited by the physical experience. Our inner beings have no limits in satisfying those desires. The only limitations are those imposed by the physical universe to produce desires within each of us.
Bordering on infinite net worth
We can have everything we want, we just have to first want it. We live in a cycle that alternates between experiencing what we have and wanting more. Every new desire elevates all-that-is into a new vantage point to know itself further.
One of Abraham’s earlier analogies was that of the vibrational escrow. When life produces a desire within you, your inner being becomes it entirely (the desire enters escrow). If you’re able to line up your vibration to the new desire, then the contents of the escrow flow to you quickly.
We appreciate this analogy in that it explains the order of events, but it has a subtle notion of more work remaining. Let’s refine it slightly for the purposes of managing our infinite net worth.
“It is as easy to create a castle as a button. It’s just a matter of whether you’re focused on a castle or a button.”
Abraham
Your inner being has an infinite net worth, and it sits inside of a savings account. Meanwhile, your checking account pays the rent here on Earth. You are free to request a transfer from savings to checking whenever and as often as you want. From your inner being’s perspective, the transfer frequency and amounts are unlimited since the contents are infinite.
Transferring from savings to checking is a well-understood procedure certainly by everyone reading this. Put in the transfer, and rest assured it’ll be done soon enough. This is the correct vibrational understanding to have. We want one hundred percent knowledge the transfer is effortless and on its way; it’s a solved problem.
There’s no limit to your inner being’s creativity, but your acceptance level will limit how it shows up in your experience.
How to block the transfer
Choosing a number that’s too big for your level of acceptance probably won’t happen, at least not until you increase your acceptance. If the reader doesn’t believe much of anything we say, then potentially no amount is within their realm of acceptance. The notion of escrow still exists. Your acceptance still needs to unlock it, but we believe the notion of transferring from savings to checking helps with the process.
If an amount feels silly or impossible to you, you have a couple of options. The feeling we’re looking for is a complete acceptance that the transfer will happen. When your request feels as routine as a standard bank transfer, you’re aligned.
- Start with smaller amounts to build confidence or acceptance.
- Work on increasing your acceptance. Here’s a great book.
Tapping bits of infinite net worth
We are pleased to say there are more ways for this transfer to work than not. For the transfer to go through, it can happen via any mechanism, along any crack of least resistance.
- Get a bonus: recruiting bonus, signing bonus, performance bonus, etc
- Win something: lottery, raffle, inheritance, etc
- Find something: you find a box of gold ingots in the attic
- Invent something: we all have inspirational ideas all the time
- Remember something: you “remember” you own hundreds of Bitcoin from 2014, etc
- Unbounded other possibilities. There’s no limit to your inner being’s creativity, but your acceptance level will limit how it shows up in your experience.
Every one of these sounds so easy but so unlikely. Remember people only experience what they’re a vibrational match to, and most people are vibrational matches to exactly everything that’s already in front of them. It makes sense that most people get what they consider to be normal. That’s the “normal” vibration they’re putting out.
We all have to find a way to line up with what we want. Let us know if this exercise helps!
