I and many others believe that there is a master plan in this country to keep the poor in poverty and to let the middle class languish and despair over their loss of status in the current economy.\u00a0 Having grown up in the 1950s, it is very clear to us older \u201cboomers\u201d that families are not thriving economically as they once did, relatively speaking.\u00a0 It seems that now, at every turn, there is an obstacle to financial growth.\u00a0 Basic expenses that are necessary for any measure of prosperity, such as child and health care and our own education, are exorbitantly high for the middle class.\u00a0 Education in particular, with which we hope to give ourselves a chance in a competitive world, saddles the younger (and some older) adults with massive and economically crippling burdens of debt.<\/p>\n

The reason we see obstacles and not the opportunities is because of our programming, starting in our homes and reinforced in the schools.\u00a0 We are taught to be employees, and children see their parents working and struggling as employees.\u00a0 We are not taught to understand and manage money.\u00a0 We are not taught how to become entrepreneurs.\u00a0 Most importantly, we are not taught how to think<\/em>\u00a0in order to create prosperity.\u00a0 It\u2019s as if that doesn\u2019t even appear on our radar screens.\u00a0 There are reasons for that.\u00a0 It\u2019s not supposed <\/em>\u00a0to appear on our radar screens\u2014according to \u201cthe master plan.\u201d\u00a0And if we do<\/em>\u00a0have high salaries, it\u2019s often because we sell our souls to the institution or to the company, working long, stressful hours and having little chance to create a \u201clife\u201d until after we retire, assuming we survive the working years.<\/p>\n

We are programmed to make statements like, \u201cI can\u2019t afford that,\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll never be rich unless I win the lottery,\u201d rather than, \u201cWhat can I do to afford that?\u201d or \u201cSince in all likelihood I will not win the lottery, I will instead educate myself to be rich.\u201d\u00a0 And whatever it is that we repeat to ourselves, especially subconsciously, those words are made flesh and become the reality in which we dwell.<\/p>\n

The institutions, organizations and homes aren\u2019t teaching us how to think our way to a better, richer, happier life on our own terms, so it\u2019s up to us to learn.\u00a0It\u2019s a matter of seeking out the teacher within each one of us and then listening, observing, reading, and meditating.<\/p>\n

Y Nuestras Palabras Se Hacen Carne<\/h1>\n

Por David Magallanes \u2022 Columnista invitado<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yo y muchos otros creemos que hay un plan maestro en este pa\u00eds para mantener a los pobres en la pobreza y permitir que la clase media languidezca y se desespere por la p\u00e9rdida de estatus en la econom\u00eda actual. Habiendo crecido en la d\u00e9cada de 1950, es muy claro para nosotros los \u201cboomers\u201d m\u00e1s viejos que las familias no est\u00e1n prosperando econ\u00f3micamente como antes, relativamente hablando. Parece que ahora, a cada paso, hay un obst\u00e1culo en contra \u00a0del crecimiento financiero. Los gastos b\u00e1sicos que son necesarios para cualquier medida de prosperidad, como el cuidado infantil y de salud y nuestra propia educaci\u00f3n, son exorbitantes para la clase media. La educaci\u00f3n en particular, con la que esperamos darnos una oportunidad en un mundo competitivo, echa encima enormes y econ\u00f3micamente agobiantes cargas de deuda sobre los hombros de los adultos m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes (y algunos mayores).<\/p>\n

La raz\u00f3n por la que vemos obst\u00e1culos y no oportunidades se debe a nuestra programaci\u00f3n, que comienza en nuestros hogares y se refuerza en las escuelas. Se nos ense\u00f1a a ser empleados, y los ni\u00f1os ven a sus padres trabajar y batallar como empleados. No se nos ense\u00f1a a entender y gestionar el dinero. No se nos ense\u00f1a c\u00f3mo convertirnos en emprendedores. Lo m\u00e1s importante es que no se nos ense\u00f1a a pensar<\/em>\u00a0para crear prosperidad. Es como si eso ni siquiera apareciera en nuestras pantallas de radar. Hay razones para ello. Ni siquiera deber\u00eda aparecer en nuestras pantallas de radar\u2014seg\u00fan \u201cel plan maestro\u201d. Y si tenemos altos salarios, a menudo es porque vendemos nuestras almas a la instituci\u00f3n o a la compa\u00f1\u00eda, trabajamos largas horas estresantes y tenemos pocas posibilidades de crear una \u201cvida\u201d hasta despu\u00e9s de jubilarnos, suponiendo que sobrevivamos a los a\u00f1os laborales.<\/p>\n

Estamos programados para hacer afirmaciones tales como, \u201cNo tengo los fondos para eso\u201d o \u201cJam\u00e1s ser\u00e9 rico a menos que gane la loter\u00eda\u201d, en lugar de \u201c\u00bfQu\u00e9 puedo hacer para obtener los fondos necesarios para poder comprar algo que deseo?\u201d O \u201cPuesto que es muy poco probable que gane la loter\u00eda, en su lugar buscar\u00e9 la educaci\u00f3n necesaria para volverme rico\u201d. Y, sea lo que sea lo que nos repitamos a nosotros mismos, especialmente de manera subconsciente, esas palabras se hacen carne y se convierten en la realidad en la que moramos.<\/p>\n

Las instituciones, organizaciones y hogares no nos est\u00e1n ense\u00f1ando c\u00f3mo desarrollar a nuestra manera una vida m\u00e1s sana, m\u00e1s rica, m\u00e1s feliz.\u00a0 As\u00ed que nos corresponde aprender.\u00a0 Es cuesti\u00f3n de buscar al maestro o a la maestra dentro de cada uno de nosotros.\u00a0Y luego es preciso escuchar, observar, leer y meditar.<\/p>\n
