There was a poor man who said he would give, if he wasn’t poor. He then said that when he gets rich he will share his wealth.

However, as sure as his next breath, as sure as night follows day, a poor man who does not give when poor, will not give when rich.

The very fears a poor man has who will not give when poor, will yet be his, when rich, and those fears will keep him poor and selfish no matter how much money he has.

The lessons that are coming (as fast as a runaway train, a sudden avalanche, a hurricane, a tornado and a flood) will teach you much about yourself, will dispel the illusions you have about yourself, and then, and only then, will you be able to stand naked in front of a mirror and say, “I was ready,” or “I just thought I was.”

The lessons that are coming are more valuable than all the gold in the world.

.

.
And only after the lessons and the trials (that like a furnace burns the dross from the gold) will the REAL GOLD appear, which IS (no more and no less) a pure heart and a pure intent (which IS to love others as much as you love yourself) and THEN, AND ONLY THEN (when put into actual action and practice) will there be no more "poor" among us, WHICH IS THE WAY OF ALL HIGHER WORLDS, AND IS THE ONLY WAY PEACE WILL EVER REIGN ON EARTH.

and THAT'S the lesson that is coming (in NOT a "so delightful way"). HAPPY NEW YEAR
