Can you guess what it is?
POWER.
And who has the power, makes the rules.
And, who has the power, doesn't usually want to share it.
So in not sharing it, and in being lost in a mindset of "It's never enough!", it is not universal that those with abundance raise the barrier of entry for those who do not yet have it (often inadvertently, by trying to make things better for themselves), but it happens enough that the system is designed this way.
That is what the wealth holders are responsible for of it.
The "have nots" are also responsible for a large part of it, and they are responsible for their own beliefs, actions and choices. Those are the key that keeps them down or raises them up. most major belief systems in the rule 4 direction teach that wealth is an impediment, not a good thing, and that belief is extremely powerful in holding billions down financially around the world. For example. Guild/shame/fear.
I hear you on both points, the rich get richer and when I am rich I would ensure the same. Being in a working class job I am also very aware of a poverty mindset, or poverty values that prevent people from growing what wealth they can. As you say, since both sex and money are about power would it be possible to target unlocking personal power and obtaining worldly power or does the subconconsious always relate power with its proxies of sex, wealth, and status?
And a last thing, Shannon, if I were an impatient man which sub might you recommend to overcome self limiting values/self sabotage? And would a sub with a strong idgaf streak be helpful?
