Great to have you here for another Walden Wednesday here at Mountain Zen Den, where we intentionally carve a few moments out of our day in a relaxing nature setting.
We do this for the purpose of slowing the heart and mind down enough to truly listen, and absorb the thoughts, ideas, philosophies and writings of great thinkers, naturalists and appreciaters of Nature like Emerson, Whitman and Thoreau. And then at the end we give you a little time to just “Be”, and settle into a deeper state of awareness as you go through your day, fully-awake, fully-present, alive and intentionally growing into the person you desire to become.
Here you will find:
Nature-based Listening… for the mindful Nature-lover.
And,
Learn the Art of Slowing Down, and awaken the soul through developing the gift of Mindful Reading.
Read with your ears to the healing sounds of Nature.
Return to the Classics, and the beautiful works of these naturalists, writers, philosophers and poets to the lush soundscape of the wild and natural world.
In today’s reading we will visit with American New Thought writer Wallace D. Wattles as he writes,
“The First Principle in The Science of Getting Rich”
Wattles says,
“The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life,”
and he posits the idea that “you can render no service greater to God and humanity than
to make the most of yourself, and you can’t do that if you’re poor;
An great question to ask as you listen today is “What does getting rich have to do with mindfulness in nature?”
Or better yet, maybe the question is, “Why is it important that I be rich, and what can Nature teach me about abundance?”
Two very good thoughts to keep in mind as we listen to today’s reading.
So now, I invite you to take a deep breath and enjoy a passage taken from the classic, The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles. This reading is from Chapter 4, “The First Principle in The Science of Getting Rich”.
