Is there anyway to be a Conscious billionaire?

11 posts in this topic

You can completely ethically and sustainably trade value and gain money. So yes, it's possible to consciously become a billionaire. It's just not very common because the market mostly does not care about ethics, so the ones at the top can take shortcuts with unsustainable practises and hurting people.

OSHO wasn't a  billionaire but still wealthy

@Husseinisdoingfine In my opinion, getting rich off telling gullible people that they need to give you money is pretty shady. Personally, I would never have the stomach to do that to people. I would rather be poor than do that. To each, their own :)

its not black and white like your conscious means your rich or not rich or your unconscious means your rich or not rich.

 

You can be a billionaire and be fully enlightened. Its just that when you reach that level of consciousness, you will probably realize the limits of hoarding that much for yourself. Or not. Ultimately your decision. Go and see for yourself.

Most agree that Osho had some stage orange shadow material so hes an exception to this general trend

Of course you can. Liberation has nothing at all to do with how the material world manifests. You can be a liberated scientist, thief, Christian, Muslim, athlete, fighter pilot, banker, garbage collector, etc. The Buddha was a billionaire.

Thinking that consciousness determines how the material world is going to turn out for you is the very thing that is actually unconsciousness. Consciousness is a perspective, not a behaviour.

 

There are awakened people all throughout the spiral, purple awakened people like some shamans, plenty of blue awakened people in India, plenty of orange awakened people like OSHO, green awakened people like some new agers such as mooji, turquoise awakened people like Adyshanti. 

I think you've mixed up consciousness and spiral dynamic stages. What you're actually asking is can you be a green staged billionaire. If the entire world was truly green (not neo green or green in disguise) there would be no billionaires, maybe people with a billion dollars, but no billionaires. Money is very valuable in this day and age because our society, policies and values are Orange. And so if a green stage person wants to revolutionise the world, getting a billion dollars is valuable. And so many would probably go for it. You can get billions of dollars off people without being a cu**, but it's significantly harder to do that then to get it off in an orange stage way, because the norm is for people to get billions of dollars using Orange stage tricks, and you will be competing with those people. Maybe the answer is to not try and be a hero and get money off people in a green way, but to consciously observe that there is nothing wrong with doing things in a healthy Orange stage way and just get a billion dollars that way.

Long answer short : No

There's no way you can be conscious and hoard that amount of  money.

If you accumulate billions, you ARE a cu**.
