And it is indeed up to you [grandchildren]; your elders are probably irredeemable. While we may have left you with little in the way of resources, your task is not hopeless. In the end civilization is not something material, it is spiritual. Be inspired by the beauty of the cosmos to invent a way of being devoted to feeding the soul instead of filling the belly. Rediscover the spiritual abundance that resides in material simplicity. Learn again that the only wealth worth having lies in the treasury of the human heart.
“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”
The feeling of wealth produces wealth; keep this in mind at all times. Your subconscious mind is like a bank, a sort of universal financial institution. It magnifies whatever you deposit or impress upon it whether it is the idea of wealth or of poverty. Choose wealth.
N.B. I don't know if Murphy would agree, but if you limit your concept of wealth to money, you have a poor mind indeed.
Russia is the kind of country she is, not because of one-party elections poorly attended, but because of large and complex historical circumstances. These circumstances have bred freedoms and inhibitions not marked off on our simple yardstick. If a nation wishes to bring in Hitler, it can do that through election as easily as by other means. If a nation wishes to have free elections and slavery, it can manage that—as our Founding Fathers did. Conversely, traditional freedoms can be maintained where elections have not penetrated.
