The Laws Of ONTOalchemy



From a very early age, money establishes it's presence in life. Cultures, countries, families, and individuals relate much of their social identity to money. It is as unavoidable as gravity but remains a mystical pursuit for 95% of the world's population. Phrases like 'follow the money', 'show me the money' and 'money talks' are axioms of our lottery consciousness. Try and go a day without being offered a no risk financial opportunity, an e-mail scam from Nigerian refugees or a pre-approved credit card application. Jacob Needleman wrote in his 1994 book Money and the Meaning of Life:


“If only we would step back and look at the emotional and spiritual effects money has on us, the green stuff could serve the aim of self-knowledge and become a tool for breaking out of our mental prison.”


Spoken like the true ECO he is. Unhappily for the rest of us, it's the ONTO domain that holds that key. Just like the air is shared but a breath is ours to take, money works through the vertical principles of 'more is up'. This orientation is what drives us somatically to stand, literally to defy gravity and make ourselves the epicenter of our world. PHYLO's tend to rely on gravity and give the same reverence to money. ECO's split the baby and make their defiance figurative and carry the emotional and spiritual burden Needleman speaks to in his book. EXO's are free of those traps yet their see no value in self-knowledge so their relationship with money tends to be all or none; digital.


So what does an ONTO see that we don't see? The see money as a projection, not a reflection of themselves. Since projection is second nature to an ONTO everywhere they look in the world with passion becomes a new way to expand their sense of self. When coherent, you get charity, benevolence and prosperity. The difference is that ONTO's don't rely on that from others to achieve it. It works in the exact opposite direction for them. They see resistance as a cue to focus on a more narrow course of action. They know power is intensified through direct steps. ONTO's work on a level that can see through the resistance PHYLO's fear and ECO's carry because they have no feelings ABOUT money. They have passion FOR money and align themselves internally so their lives consist OF more opportunities to link risk and reward. What remains a dream in most is what an ONTO wakes up to every day. They keep their relationship with money fluid and 100% image-based.


Get the picture? If you don't, one will be sold to you soon enough. ;)
