How has your initial quarter of 2006 been? Have you changed your job? Changed your company? Changed your life? XL Results Foundation had a historic month in March, with the launch of the XL Social Enterprise Accreditation Program. Supplying recognition to Social Enterprises, this system has a target to reach $100 million in annual donations by 2020. In this initial year, our target was to attain $two million in pledges from participating businesses. Within a week of its launch at the Entrepreneur Enterprise College, the Plan has currently attracted over $14.6 million in pledges from participating firms, surpassing all our expectations.

This weeks newsletter is about the origins of Wealth Dynamics, and how such magic occurs:

THE ORIGINS OF WEALTH DYNAMICS

All men are designed equal

- Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Identical, exact same, but diverse

- Popular Thai Expression, 2006

Wealth Dynamics, the profiling system for entrepreneurs, is primarily based on a simple premise that we are not designed equal. We all have innate qualities that set us apart, and it is specifically in these differences that we find our distinctive path and contribution in life.

Over 20,000 entrepreneurs have taken the Wealth Dynamics test in the final five years, providing them a focus on what they ought to and shouldnt be performing to adhere to their organic path of action and attraction. Every single of the eight Wealth Dynamics profiles has its personal game with different rules, teams, approaches, winning formulas and losing formulas. Each identifies the frequency at which you operate in life exactly where you learn your flow and tune in to your purpose. Those who have taken the test have located an intuitive resonance with their path.

If these frequencies fit so naturally, exactly where did they come from? When had been they very first identified? And why didnt we find out all this at college?

Before we became so busy right after the invention of such factors as TVs, combustion engines and electrical energy, people seemed to have a lot more time to contemplate the planet we live in. The most evolved and influential civilization five,000 years ago was Ancient China, which, according to Chinese mythology, was ruled by 3 mythical sovereigns until around 2,800BC. The very first of these, Heavenly King Fu Xi, developed the I Ching which became Chinas Oracle for the subsequent 4,800 years. Although Fu Xi was mythical, the I Ching is really true. It evolved more than four dynasties and two,000 years ahead of becoming the basis for Chinas two central philosophies, Taoism and Confucianism in 600BC. These have influenced wide ranging areas to this day, from Buddhism, and Feng Shui to our formalized loved ones, government and legal systems.

In the starting there was as yet no moral or social order. Then came Fu Xi who looked upward and contemplated the images in the heavens, and looked downward and contemplated the occurrences on earth. He united man and wife, regulated the five stages of alter, and laid down the laws of humanity. He devised the eight trigrams, in order to obtain mastery over the globe.

From the I Ching.

The I Ching is an incredibly profound insight into the nature of our spot in this universe. Translated as The Book of Adjustments, it is based on the observation that almost everything flows from a dynamic balance of opposites, that time adjustments in nature as a result of this flow, and that within these ever-changing tides there is an immovable, ultimate path for every of us. (The Tao, indicates The Way). The I Ching is more than a philosophical thesis. The I Ching is an extremely intricate study and mapping of time a mapping equivalent to the mapping of DNA. After the 64 codons of DNA had been identified in the 1990s, we had the creating blocks to decode the genetic sequence of all living factors. So too, when the I Ching mapped time four,800 years earlier, it gave Chinese masters a extensive system to decode time.

In the I Ching, 64 Hexagrams combining Yin and Yang make up the complete DNA of time (and energy). These interplay with the 5 elements of place (and matter): Wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The philosophy behind this code is primarily based on the popular circular image of the Taiji: The perpetual interplay of Yin & Yang, Night & Day, Male & Female. The universe was noticed as a continual flux, and we have the opportunity to reside in resonance with this flux by understanding it and following our path within it, or to be in a constant battle against it. (Considerably as a great surfer picks the appropriate wave not by riding the wave, but by reading the ocean).

As we are born from power to matter, we take on varying qualities of the very first 4 components, and it is this combination that defines our differences. Wealth Dynamics follows practically all modern day psychometric testing, which takes its roots from the I Ching with 1 really important difference

The I Ching remained inaccessible to the Western Globe for the initial four,000 years of its life. This changed in 1911 when Richard Wilhelm, a German missionary and scholar in China, met Lao Nai-hsuan, a Chinese sage in the I Ching. Lao believed it was time for the Western world to learn of the I Ching, and from 1913 to 1921 the two of them worked collectively at translating the intricacies of the I Ching into German. Lao died in 1921 as soon as the translation was completed, and Wilhelm took the translation back to Germany.

It was here that he met psychoanalyst, Carl Jung. Jung had been Sigmund Freuds understudy for six years, and he had fallen out with his mentor over differences in their views of the unconscious. While Freud believed that we are the result of our family and social conditioning, Jung believed we are born with inherent traits. When Wilhelm showed Jung his translation of the I Ching, it had a profound effect on Jung, to the extent that Jung wrote the introduction to the book and helped to get the I Ching published. From the I Ching and his conversations with Wilhelm, Jung gained a new clarity into the nature of personality types:

For the first time this profoundest perform of the Orient was introduced to the West in a living and comprehensible style. What he told me, out of his wealth of information of the Chinese mentality, clarified some of the most difficult issues that the European unconscious had posed for me.

Carl Jung

Jungs new insights led to the basis of Jungian psychological typing, which subsequently led to psychometric testing models such as Myers-Briggs and DISC profiling. These tests take the nature of opposites in the first 4 Chinese elements: Wood/Spring, Fire/Summer time, Earth/Autumn and Metal/Winter, and relate them to introversion/extroversion, intuitive/sensory and so on. Myers-Briggs eight pairings of varieties match the eight major trigrams of the I Ching. To this extent, Wealth Dynamics shares a frequent supply in Carl Jung. So why should we go back to the I Ching? What did Jung miss in his typing model?

The substantial difference in Wealth Dynamics to other psychometric tests is in its relation to time and the fifth element, water. Jung discarded the fifth element as it did not match into the Western model of 4 static components. As a outcome, he ended with a static model of the unconscious based on four elements, exactly where time merely played a trigger-and-effect function in life. This was ugly and incomplete, and Jung knew it.

Jung turned his focus to the intentional coincidences and total inter-connectedness of all issues that the I Ching philosophy not only permitted, but anticipated. This led to him building and naming two concepts which right now are properly recognized: The universal unconscious, and synchronicity (a term he utilized for the first time at Richard Wilhelms funeral in 1930). He built this into a complete theory of synchronicity in 1952, but he never ever managed to reconcile this perform on the flow of time and consciousness with his static psychological typing, and he died in 1961.

To this day, Jungian personality testing treats our character traits as static components with small relationship to levels of consciousness or spirit. By contrast, in Wealth Dynamics spirit is vital as it is our entrepreneurial spirit that will determine our wealth.

While modern day science and spirit have always been divided in the West, the East has usually taken a a lot more holistic view that time, matter and spirit are necessarily interconnected. Although the four Greek components are primarily based on physical elements, the 5 Chinese elements are not components at all, but states of adjust. Fire does not refer to fire, but the state that fire is in when it warms. Wood does not refer to the wood in trees, but the state that wood is in when it grows. The 5 Chinese components could more accurately be described as: Develop (Wood), Glow (Fire), Slow (Earth), Know (Metal) and Flow (Water). Although Western culture has focused on a static physical globe, with alterations primarily based on result in-and-impact (until the advent of quantum mechanics), Chinese culture has often focused on states of alter, where nothing at all is static and exactly where we expertise entirely distinct realities in the context of our state of modify in any moment in time.

Wealth Dynamics refers to these five states as frequencies. When we tune in to our frequency (and we all have a dominant frequency), we experience a diverse reality, and we begin to attract the proper people, sources and possibilities as if by luck. Several people call this our flow. Not surprisingly, flow is what we discover in water, the fifth element. As we follow the approaches to resonate with our natural frequency, we increasingly tune into and encounter flow.

"These coincidences, which Jung termed synchronicity, are positive indicators you are in the flow Flow is a harmony of becoming that has been sought following via the centuries in the spiritual traditions of the globe. In the East, it has been linked to the Tao, the underlying interconnectedness of the Universe. In our lives, flow is apparent in those times when things happen effortlessly, everything falls into place, obstacles melt away, and our timing is perfect. In those instances, we really feel a deep sense of harmony and underlying order. We know we are in the correct location, at the proper time, undertaking specifically the right factor."

- Charlene Belitz & Meg Lundstrum, The Energy of Flow

Flow is not an ethereal concept in Wealth Dynamics, but an achievable state, reached through a all-natural step-by-step path that every of us can tread - due to the fact several have tread the path just before us. (four,800 years prior to us, in truth).

The finish objective of Wealth Dynamics is not just to know your profile. It is to identify your path, to tune in to your flow, and to fulfill your true prospective.

As far as we can discern, the sole goal of human existence

is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere becoming.

- Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

AND Lastly

You will not see Paul Newman on the list of Hollywood leading earners, however Newman has provided away over $200 million a lot more than most of todays most productive Hollywood actors have ever made. He didnt make that funds from films. He produced it from salad dressing.

He began his firm, Newmans Own on a wager that folks wouldnt buy his salad dressing. From day 1, he declared that all income would go to charity. In the first year, Newmans Own was effective sufficient to donate close to $1 million to charity. By 2006, the company had reached an astounding $200 million in donations to charities.

Whats a lot more, the achievement of Newmans Personal has because catapulted Newmans involvement in philanthropy to an completely new level. Newmans experience inspired him to launch the Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) in 1999. In the 5 years since launch, the CECP has encouraged corporate giving in America. Nowadays, the CECP is chaired by Citigroups CEO, Sandy Weill, and the membership list is a whos who of Americas best CEOs and Chairmen, representing businesses that gave over $7 billion to charities in 2005.

Newmans uncompromising strategy to producing a distinction is summed up in the slogan of his company, Newmans Own:

Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Widespread Great

If Butch Cassidy can have this type of accomplishment, what can you obtain? What will you adjust in the coming quarter? Change the dressing? Modify the channel? Change the globe?
