There is not doubt, as we look into our own abilities, money becomes a unique measure of our capabilities. Our talents and material goods is the method of choice for exchanging the currency of abilities. But what about our internal measures of success? Pleasure of knowledge, fear from a bad trade or any other “gut feeling” we experience when we approach measurable points.
As in the prior consciousness post, the more we look into success, the more we look inward the person behind that success.
The same applies to money.
Now, the opposite seems to occur to crave for money, the more money is craved the less individuals look inward -into their conciousness- for money.
We say “money does not get you happiness” or “money is not everything” many more popular sayings about the limited capability of money. Still, we have not learn how to teach inward rewarding with outward results in a proficient manner.
In Maslow hierarchy of needs:
1. Physiological (biological needs)
2. Safety
3. Love/belonging
4. Status (esteem)
5. Actualization

If we look were we stand in our present society.
Some of us are stuck in a range from 3-4 and very few get into 5 in a real way. But it seems we have regress to #2 as a society. This is not a personal choice but the result of leaders choice, many are coy about challenging this regression.
The big step begins understanding how we pass from a linear left side of the brain thinking to a right side the brain thinking in a coordinated manner and obtain superior results.
This is what the book “A New Whole Mind” explores.
As we read present religious books and other motivational books.
We encounter the content travelling from the left side linear thinking to take-over actions in a non-linear way but forgetting to touch in how this is measured. These books usually fault at respecting and open some light into measuring equally both capacities of the brain, with its right and left side thinking.
Usually, the mantra is expressed in the common line “do what you love and you will be reward it.”
The intended meaning of reward is monetary, a total left brain approach, and the acting of love is no measurable nor can be taught in a clear way, what we need is a right brain treat of consciousness to be able to actually apply the content of those "self-help, God-help" books.
We are not taught to think in tangled non-connected manner, when in fact this is what we need in most of our human and non-human interactions. At the same time, we expect tangible measurements, if we are in love, usually it means we are somehow a little bit irrational. We do most things in search of these “irrational feelings” and demand tangible measurements.
We often for some unknown reason get a strong physical reaction to something or someone. It can come from influence of thinking or by the influence of our actions, but how do we is coming from a good place, where is this coming from?
If I feel great when I have a great stock trade or I feel awful when I have a bad one, does that means that stock trades –my actions- as a subject of many –trades- doing the same thing have a soul?
Thus, today’s tangled question: do stock trades have a soul?
