Not when he's probably gonna end up murdered.

That's a limiting belief that basically guarantees you'll never have 'too much' money. In reality the reason people end up having issues is because they stayed in the same environment, not the money itself.

That's just your limiting beliefs thinking that your location is more powerful than your will. A strong enough faith overcomes that.

...see how easy it is to bend newage woo ***** to support whatever belief you want?

A little touchy, aren't we? That generally happens whenever someone's beliefs are challenged in any way, though i'm sure you'll probably have some sorta comeback for that too lol; There's nothing 'new age' about the fact that people don't want to see people they struggled with do better than them. The solution then is removing yourself from the environment where literally everyone knows you, is familiar with your whereabouts,habits, etc., If you want to make an argument, feel free to point out the cases where the winners who were murdered had moved to a location far away and/or didn't have any familiarity with the perpetrators. If not, you don't have much of a leg to stand on. If they died from circumstances related to not being able to handle having alotta money, that's something different from being murdered,bud.

As I said, your statement reflects your belief, and I pointed it out, because beliefs are not self-apparent. If you want to keep pushing the subject though I could start guessing about the environment you yourself live in but I try to avoid too much internet psycho-analysis

I'm not sure what your point is... you keep saying that beliefs dictate your reality and then insist that you need to run away from your environment for your beliefs to mean anything? I just make my enemies into friends and dont worry personally. And I'm not gonna go digging for anecdotes to support a random ecrack I made. You've already decided what you think, that all bad things happen to a person because of themselves (which I tend to agree with mostly)

I'd like your ewarrior psychoanalysis though! I always enjoy seeing the judgements people have made about me.

*Whistles* You are grossly misunderstanding what I said, but again that's not surprising because another function of beliefs is filtering information that supports them, and rejecting information that doesn't(which to the outside observer may simply look like lack of comprehension). I'll simplify this: If you study micro-organisms in a lab setting, generally you will notice that their behaviors change based on the constraints of their environment; I.E., certain bacteria will increase drastically at a lower temperature, others will decrease under the same conditions, if you put chocolate in a dish, stuff like yeasts will thrive, but anything that doesn't metabolize sugar will either not respond or may be adversely affected. My point isn't about 'running away', its that introducing a factor like large amounts of money generally creates a situation where your immediate physical environment of other 'organisms' who have hitherto existed working for scraps, struggling to feed their children, general poverty, is probably NO LONGER A GOOD FIT FOR YOU IN PARTICULAR. I hope you understand what I was actually saying now.
