A Short Story 96

Money said loudly, “I don't care what you say, I'm the best. I'm the most desired, the most sought after, and the thing that every man, woman and child on earth wants more than anything else in the world. Therefore, I am number one.”

“Nonsense,” replied Sex. “People lose more sleep over me than they do over you. People will kill for me, and have for thousands of years, even before you were invented. People will kill for you too but not as much as they will for me. I am the greatest. If you were to develop a scale of one to ten you would no doubt be a ten but I would be off the scale. I'm at least a fifteen. You may be necessary, on occasion, to get me, but without me you are useless. Therefore, I am number one.”

“You're both mad. Let me tell you something Sex, and you too Money, if you're going to fight over which is top dog, give it up, I win hands down.”

Money and Sex looked up from the play board. Their eyes locked for a moment. A sly smile played with the lips of both of them. The warm breeze, that caressed the group, seemed to increase and a dry leaf fluttered by Sex who flicked it away with a thought. They looked quizzically at Relationships who stood steadfast, armed by the belief that the pair arguing couldn't be more wrong.

Finally Money spoke. “You have got to be kidding. What makes you think you're more important than I am? What good are you without me? For that matter, what good is anything without me?”

Before the answer came, Sex broke in, addressing Relationships. “And what about me? They can have me without you. As a matter of fact I believe that more people have me without establishing you then ever before. No, you won't convince me.”

Relationships sighed before speaking. “It was always that way. Not only you two, but many others as well feel that you are the important ones but consider this, I represent the goodness and satisfaction of the general community. Imagine a world without me. Imagine a world where not one single person had a friend, or even an acquaintance. That world would be a cold and frigid one. You both are important, although I would hesitate to place you in a hierarchy position as age would definitely change that, but you are nothing without me. Therefore, I am number one.”

“Baloney.” a voice rang out. The three turned to the newcomer.

“You all are nothing without me. Did anyone ever get a thing done without me? No.

"Could anyone have a good relationship without me? No.

“Could anyone enjoy money without me? No.

“Could anyone enjoy sex without me? No.

“Without me you want solitude. Without me you bury your head in a pillow and let the world go by. Without me you don't care a whit for a relationship. And as far as you go Sex, without me people wouldn't even be able to spell your name. Without me there would be little, if any sex.

“Money without me is useless. A dollar, or a million dollars would be all the same without me.

“I am number one. Always have been and always will be.”

Money, Sex, and Relationships looked at one another sheepishly. They could not argue with the newcomer. They knew the newcomer was right. They were all useless by themselves, or together without the blessings of the newcomer.

The newcomer stood up, stretched and yawned. Walking away from the group the newcomer stopped and turned before going out in the world to dispense the commodity that all desired above everything else.

“Don't feel badly my friends. You three are loved by one and by all. But remember always. You are wanted. But I am needed.”

And with that, Health and Wellness walked off beyond the hill and into the world.

A very provicative story . . . but these are attributes of each human being to which we have access by the grace of the Divine I Am Presence, also within each of us. We are given the choice to appreciate, to accept, to develop or not . . . that either/or thing again. :-)

kim says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

So true, What a great way of putting it.

edwina Hlady says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

I love you Marc

ingrid says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Health and Wellness are the most important things in my life! I am recovering from a terrible accident. I had torn all my ligaments on my right knee. After two surgeries one in july and one in Dec. 2008 I am still walking with a brace. I never thought that something like this would happen to me. I was running and I fell. The paramedics had to take me to the emergency room. I have always worked out. When you cannot do what you use to do it is heartbreaking. I am slowly recovering from my injury but it is taking too long for me. All the money in the world cannot give me my health back right now! Everybody tells me you will learn a lesson from this. To be honest I do not know what I have learned yet. Maybe not to take everything for granted. I already knew that. To slow down? I do not know. Do you?

Marion says 7 months, 3 weeks ago

Burt- Health and Wellness have been my number one for more years than yours! At 91+ it is paying off, bigtime!
If you have these, you can still do anything. The first rule for me was "I do not have time to be sick", therefore illnesses passed me by. I forgot to say "I do not have time to get hurt", and did! Also, pharmaceuticals and shots in the arm are verboten by choice, and my body keeps on doing what it is supposed to do! Never tell your body anything bad!!! Whatever you do tell it is what it will become.

Thank you for sharing so much lifechanging information.

Marion

Russ says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Even though I am in bad health, haven't money, and do not have a good sex life, I am very happy because of what my savior Jesus Christ has done for me.

J says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hi Burt,

It is possible to have little or no money, marginal or bad health and no consistent one-on-one relationship, or one-on-one sex, and still be content with being. It is possible to contribute great good with your life for others and for yourself. A significant ingredient of a meaningful existence is one where we are encouraged to view all circumstances and elements of life as beneficial for our growth and development. Sex can be a great addition to life however relationships that include it aren’t always ones that have great joy. People who have great sickness provide others the opportunity to learn how to be their own personal best selves – empathetic, gracious, thankful, caring, understand, generous, intentional and the like. For some, no matter which one of these elements is missing, and for most of us, all of these things are not always present at the same time, peaceful and joyful survival is still achieved.

The great essence from each of these can help to elevate our human condition and allow us to choose to give great gifts to the world. These are inoculations per se. The essence of these, help us to ward off the great disease of indifference to humanity. We need continuous injections because the opportunity for relapse is constantly present. Your teachings stimulate and guide us to the wellspring from which our syringes may be replenished – the infinite reservoir within. Perhaps hope, should be factored into this list as well.

It is possible to be happy without any of these things and also it is possible to not be happy when all of these elements are present. Thank you for provoking the thoughts and conversation.

Duane the Desert Sage says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I agree with the answer the stated 'to much, too often'.
Not many agreed but they are interconected, you need them all or you miss most.

kevin says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Yea I never beleived the healing part the medition and being won with my mind is all that I cared about, because I know I can do what I wont with my mind wen I wont and thats all that matters to me. But It was fun any way and I got what I wannted out of it and thats cool.

kevin says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Yea I got a confetion of my own I didnt ever believe the healing part. The medetion part and being won with my mind is all that I car about.

jag says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

enjoyed the story, made me remember what's important.

Anna says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Yes , the most importanr is health , than happines but money helps to be happy
regards Anna

Nancy says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks Burt, and thanks to all your readers/listeners who have written with additional aspects of life that we wouldn't want to forget:
spirituality, intellect, art and so forth.

Yes, let's have it all!

Rosie says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Something else :-)

This might look, sound or feel strange to some.

The reality is. I don't have to choose anything. None of us has to choose.
Each of us already has it all.

Burt, this is probably what you were trying to tell us with the multiple universes and the awareness explanations about the Creator and how we are co-creators. That we start from thought, that our time and space is only in this Universe and here we are always limiting ourselves, that we need to change our perception (what is also called our paradigm) and open our minds into unlimited options we we can find infinite possibilities in infinite dimensions.

Burt Goldman says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I would like to thank all of you for your wonderful comments.

To address a couple of you - yes there may have been more than the two gentlemen I noted in my last email who said all aspects in life are equally important. I apologize if I missed you. This was an accidental oversight. With over 800 comments I am sure you can imagine how that could happen.

My apologies.

Thanks again for all of your kind words!

Burt

Rosie says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Okey Burt,

I learned. What I want is all and I can have all. Why limit myself if I can deserve to have it all :-)

Cheers

Farrokh says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt it was awonderful story and by your permission I intent to share it with my friends.Really without good health and wellness of the mind every else is useless.God bless you,keep up the good work.

Shankar says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I wonder where from you get such stories! It is both humorous and serious at the same time. And for those who think Health is not important, I venture to suggest this: visit a hospital and have a look at the patients.
Ask them "which comes first - money,sex,relationships or health."
Shankar, India

jack says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks for an enjoyable exercise in circular reasoning.

clara says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

This is so true. A nurse for 30 yrs and now working with hospice. I have yet to hear a client (patient) state that they wished they had worked more, had more sex or more money. I've had some reflect on relationships that could have or should have been better.But they always go back to thoughts of health and wellness when possible. Makes you realize what really is important.

Melanie says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Burt, That is very true and people usually end up putting "health & wellness" on the back burner unless they become ill. Nothing does matter without health and wellness, not money, sex, relationships, nothing. Life doesn't pause or slow down without sex, money or relationships but a lacking in the health department could definitely cause that. Thanks for the interesting story, I like how you did that!

Ivory says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

I say they are all important in people lives,we need them all some people may be lacking in one or two,but I hate to see if someone do not have any of the money, sex,relationship,health and wellness,they may as well be dead.

Cecilia says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

Hello Burt,
I am happy I choose health. You see every
christmas I always pray for good health.
Thank you for making me laugh.

Margie says 7 months, 4 weeks ago

That was awesome & so true!

A wonderful story that describes beautifully how I felt when I chose Health as Top oF the List.
Without health and wellness everything else would have no meaning.

This contradicts your email,you said that all are supposed to be equal but in the end you say health would be most important.All are almost equal to me but i wpuld rather joy than money. :) better and better

Ron says 8 months ago

Has anyone noticed the egoic disfunction of responses to
a simple question? (including my own that needed to make a response!)
I jumped into a parallel universe, met my twin that had
all those things, Money, Sex, Relationships, and Health & Wellness and now I can dwell in harmony with "what is" without judgement, critisism, complaining or negative emotions...try it you might like it (or not)

Suni Dalbec says 8 months ago

I just read somewhere that Learning is finding out what you already know....Doing is demonstrating that you know it....Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. It came from The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach. This is what lead me to want to know more, learn more, have more......Burt you fill that void, teaching us in such a way that is fun and easy ( how did you know I was blonde?)Everyday in everyway I'm getting better and better and learning easier and easier. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Suni

Kathleen says 8 months ago

Well Burt,

I have to say that I was somewhat taken back by your email this morning to say that out of your stunt you received 800+ replies to your question and the P.S. I see is this "Out of the 800 comments on the post, only 2 men named Gary and David commented that all of the areas I mentioned were equally important in their lives.

Now I have to say that I made the same comment so how many other people have said the same thing too. Any why would you not make note on them too.

This makes me question the validity of ever doing this again with anyone, was it just a simple over sight or is it done to achieve the outcome you want us to see.

Cheers,
Kathleen

Josie says 8 months ago

Hi folks,

i had chose love and was intending to put this PS on then i got this new blog.

Sure i fell into the trap of thinking i had to choose one of the 4, so i chose the closest.

but when i say love i was thinking of the Whitney Houston song 'learning to love yourself'

this is what happens to me when i bagha. i love myself more which makes me more confident, my stress melts away so my health improves, so i am able to put more into relationships, i become more attractive and so gain more friends, i gain more confidence so i go out out and earn more money.

isn't this what burt's been telling us.

Stacia says 8 months ago

All of that is well and good but What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and loose his own soul? Everything is equally important and all is nothing without God. Many wonderful things are for us to enjoy if we realize they all have a place and a time in our lives. Thank you for your insight on things.

jerry says 8 months ago

Well Burt,
I say that all the things...sex,money,relationships,etc...are all areas, where we seek to find happiness/joy.all material things are grease, they get you to a point.I believe the reality in the end...is joy,happiness,love.All other things are to give the seeker the illusion,of what he/she believes.We all strive towards happiness/joy.That is what I think and believe. After all Burt...everything you do, experience,learn, teach is a learning that helps you to grow,that eventually and hopefully brings you to a level of understanding, which makes you serene,peaceful...but, ultimitely happy and joyful.So, that's my sift and sort. See ya !

maureen says 8 months ago

I believe the answer is love. Unconditional love for oneself, others, and all that is. When we can truly experience and maintain this state of being then bliss, health, prosperity, and all else is ours.

K.N. RAO says 8 months ago

You are hundred per cent right. We love your work and you are an inspiration. However, when we have health and wellness they make us feel like having sex and money and what not. Thus, health and wellness make us long for all other worldly things. Lack of helath and wellness may make us think about God and turn us towards spirituality. KNR.

dr char says 8 months ago

Fabulous.... Burt you are like a warm, gentle breeze on a perfect summer evening.. comforting,calming and giving those moments of "ahhhhhhhhhh".
Blessings.

Leila says 8 months ago

Someone, I think it was Ram Dass, said that most people's problem was that a bill through the door could make a happy person unhappy. I like that but I don't know if it's very relevant.

The trick was well played! Thanks.

Frederick says 8 months ago

Love makes all worthwhile -- pehaps not the modern usage which focuses on a feeling one can have towards a cake.

Love is toward God univerdally and yourself in balance with your neighbors. Therefore love of self can produce wellness and in balance peace for your neighbors. The wellness produces oportunities for sex and energy to build wealth.

And the Love for God produces the blance to have all.

From that flows

Lindsey says 8 months ago

Burt - we love you! I have been following your teaching for about a year. I have purchased the Mindbox series and the Quantum Jumping and use them all the time. Each day my life unfolds to exciting things and reasons to be thankful. I am now pursuing goals that I never dreamed possible and more importantly -- achieving them. By the way -- the money rhythm concept really works! I selected a song that came into my head from the 1940's "In the Mood" by Glen Miller -- my parents generation -- and its now the money song for me. I hum it and I also downloaded to my itunes and I keep getting money!!

Ricky says 8 months ago

Great story. I am going thru that trial right now , for I was not blessed with good health. You do look at the world in a very different way.

Thank you

Rute says 8 months ago

I agree whit you, because I sow when I was working at BMW let me explain myself .Wow it’s nice to buy a BMW!!! But most of does clients they were miserable so I said to myself I redder be financial ok then be miserable like them they can’t see. Health and wellness is what I want then the rest and Aim devoting my time to work on myself to love myself and more…
Thank you Burt.

Henrik says 8 months ago

Adult humans have just two thoughts in their Mind.Money and Sex.For the Male Money and Sex.For the Female Sex and Money.That is all there is.Spiritual connection is very rare and usually occurs when there is no money and no sex.

g.j. says 8 months ago

Money, Sex, Relationships, even Health are all necessary tools in life. But the ultimate result we are all searching for and need is HAPPINESS.
All the others are a means to an end. Necessary even essential but means to an end nonetheless.

Alex says 8 months ago

I fully agree... there is not one of the beings you created in your story that will allow for a complete human being. It is a shame we spend so much of our time trying to be less than we are.

Thank you for bringing this thought into the clearness of mind.

Jane says 8 months ago

Has anyone heard of Stephen Hawkings - does anyone think he has nothing? You could say he is one of the luckiest people in the world because he obviously does not agree as he is happy that he has the mind he has. If circumstances we find ourselves in can affect our inner non dual self, then we truly are poor in spirit and slaves to the physical.

Ann-kathrine says 8 months ago

Dear Burt!

Everyday if we stop our thought´s and let us calm down and sit still for a little while and just be. Our soft voice within will try to contact us if we just let it.
Give it a try and see what happens..., when you do so you will soon realize that you don´t need anything to be anything. Because you already have it all there is, inside your own soul. Accept everything as it is right now and just go with the flow and you will have it all there is, NOW.

Love, Light & Peace
Ann-kathrine

Linda J says 8 months ago

I agree with you, Burt. Health and wellness is what we all want when the rubber meets the road. I fell into the trap without even sensing that one was there. Thank you for pointing it out. Awareness is the key because until you are aware you don't know what's missing or there in your universe.

Winfried says 8 months ago

I don´t agree, ´cause for my opinion blissfulness is always number one. When I am blissful, than it doesn´t matter, in which circumstances I am, because I am one with the oneness with my higher self and than there is no duality there is only the "ONE"!

WOW Burt awesome conclusion.without health and wellness even bob dylan would say yes it would be sinceless.elvis risked it all over money and drugs and he didn't even make it.sadly,yet oh well we can learn alot from Burt he is wise.I know now what you mean this is gonna be put on my favorites.I know that all are important this is just amazing.Wowzer I am shocked someone like you needs to be mentioned in newspapers definitely.This is astonishing.

Laura says 8 months ago

ok Burt. I didnt comment before but here is my take on
the question. Without joy, there is no health or anything else for that matter, because joy manifests all
the other things necessary to be omnipotent and omnipresent. Isnt that what quantum jumping is all about? A person without joy cannot imagine a hall or door or another reality for that matter. A person without joy cannot PLAY.

I DO HAVE HEALTH AND FAMILY "THANK YOU GOD" AND ME!! NOW MONEY WOULD MAKE MANY PLANS AND WISHES TO EXPAND BEYOND OUR PRESENT EDUCATIONS AND TRAVELS...WE WERE MEANT TO GROW AND LEARN. MONEY MAKES MANY DREAMS OF EXPANSION POSSIBLE FOR ALL. TO STOP IMPROVING AND LEARNING IS TO LIVE IGNORANTLY AND UNHAPPILY.

Tony says 8 months ago

Hi Burt,

Interesting story.

However, if one already has very good health despite it being more important than money, relationships and sex, it is not an issue for them.

They may know how to maintain good health [good food, bit of exercise, meditation, plenty of water etc] so thats not a problem for them, but what that person may lack is a way to make good money in their own [internet?]business.

Now that may be slightly harder, at least if you don't know how or your brother etc is not a millionaire who can show you one-on-one in your own room.

Yes you need all the qualities but what someone lacks is what they want or need the most. Seems a lot of people want money, especially now.

Realistically, getting to all the people one-on-one personally is not practical and maybe not desirable, 'and' maybe not be affordable to the person who wants/needs that kind of attention.

Never ever give up though because at least you can say you died trying, which is better and a lot more vauable as a person than saying you died but didn't even have the guts to try.

The more we learn the better we will be in pursuing our goals, so at least consistently keep learning about what you want to achieve. Sooner or later [or a lot later] there is a good chance you will achieve success.

Always look forward to something and never give up!

Thank you Burt.

Regards
Tony

Mary says 8 months ago

Each one is important. What makes one more important than the others depends on what our priorities in life are. True, without health we cannot enjoy the others to their fullest, but if we are grateful for everything we have and work towards becoming the best we can be our lives will be successful. It is important also to love ourselves first so that we can love others. When we get our inner world sorted out everything else falls into place.

Henrik says 8 months ago

Burt Goldman spelled backwards is "namdlog trub"."Namned logg thrubb".No it does not make any sense.

charleyn says 8 months ago

I think you are wrong, many people are what you would call happy, being grateful for what they do have, and do not have all the things you mention. What they do have is a grateful heart. And no one is happy all the time, we all have our ups and downs. We need to focus on what we do have and make the best of it.

ruby says 8 months ago

beautiful story.

John says 8 months ago

Wonderful story Mr.Goldman.I have to disagree though as I think spirituality is the most important.Spirituality helps you discover yourself and with it comes health,wellness,money,relationships,love and anything else you desire.It creates balance. John :)

Henrik says 8 months ago

The mental conditioning at the schools and "Media" is really a "slaughterhouse".This "Good-knows-who" wants that.Cause it is "convenient".But You "Goldman" have looked behind the "screen" so to say.Lucky for You "Goldman" that You where not at Ohama-beach at D-day.
You are realy Great!

Henrik says 8 months ago

You have noticed the weird conditioning of innocent Minds in schools and Media?You are a Spiritual Hero,

Goldman.You are real "Gold".Alchemical gold.I really from the bottom of my hearts experience think you are 100% RIGHT.Cause I also found out that it is Ok to have the cake and eat it.Not just one time but as long as you wish.You are a wise man,"Gold-man"!Henrik

Jan says 8 months ago

I have always thought that money is only as good as what good it can effect. Sex is a delight but never necessary. Without relationships we would be unable to see ourselves, and, I suspect, heal--because we are social creatures. Ultimately, a healthy person is likely to have good relationships. The first good relationship one needs to have is with ones Self!That would tend to encourage taking care of self. And someone who has good relationships with Self and others, and health, can easily have all the rest. But ultimately, good health and good relationship are more valuable than all the gold on earth.

Bev Petel says 8 months ago

True health and wellness is internal balance, order and stability which comes after conquering early conditioned state and inner fears...
Then one chooses the nature of relationships needed,better understands not to react with other relationships but to strategize with forethought, and considers sex from an inner center of higher ethical respect..now amount of money is managed around self-preservtion and greater concern turns to concern for how the greater world is doing....
Thanks Burt....I have taken the journey...

Maureen says 8 months ago

Please don't go to my website yet as it is just being put together and there are a few hiccups which will soon be sorted out.

Your story was great and I would like to add that when I was meditating this morning (something I am only beginning to incorporate into my life) it dawned on me that everything we have ever thought, said and done we can immediately forgive ourselves for, all we need is to get on and do it. Every time we think something which is a "worry" thought" just tell yourself "that's fine, that was then and this is now and I'm okay" That's it. Do it with every thought as it comes up - then let it go.

There's no-one out there who needs to absolve us of our past or present thoughts, only us. But we are the greatest perpetrators and only we can forgive ourselves. We are learning that the ways in which we have been taught need amending, that's all, but we had to make the mistakes in the first place, otherwise we would have nothing to work on. Releasing it all works immediately on me and will help you too, when you are ready.

Accept what is and focus on you always.

marilyn says 8 months ago

We have been so conditioned that we live in an either/or society that I can understand all of the above. My point is that the Divine Spirit did not impose either/or mentality on us. We imposed it on ourselves and our society reinforced the idea. My own take on the matter is that all are equally important and indeed vital for us to lead a balanced life. Therefore if I am attempting to lead a balanced, centered life then I need all the ingredients not just one or two.

Nice story!And about your post "which of these are most imortant?" I voted but without letting a comment coz I thought more than one answer should be possibly chosen at the same time!well for us in Africa,I don't know what is more important but let say it is engagement.I love all your stuffs, "just being able to get the free ones (-:" Hope the best for all the readers!

Teresa says 8 months ago

I can testify to the truth of your meaningful story. I had all the first things, but not health. This was so depressing, until healing and wellness came to me via energy healing modalities and meditation. What you have written is RIGHT ON, Burt! We love your work. Teresa

Therese Kutscheid says 8 months ago

Yep, I agree strongly with that you have nothing without health and wellness but again if you don't have money to buy right food and place to live and that brings worries and if you worry too much you loose you health and on and on..... what was first there the eg or the chuck?
I think we need balance.
Anyway thank's for that fun story. I did enjoy it very much.
Love and blessings

If I was born with a defect, I would not have my heath and wellness to do all the things I wanted no fault of mine, and feel depressed that that was the No1 thing that had as a priority. However if, I had really good relationships including one with myself ( love myself for what I am ) then I have the capability (especially mentally) to more foreward and achieve the others.

I disagree. Health and wellness are important, but if I had to choose between all the above, I'd take the relationship, hands down.

Besides, we have a relationship of some sort with EVERYTHING anyway. Life is what you make of it, it's not about what you're handed.

Besides, if you are healthy and well, but have lousy relationships, all the money, sex and health don't mean a whole lot.

Health and wellness are thinking in terms of the whole of humanity depending on them -what an invitation to fear that is if I believed that. Why would I need to become attached to an idealogy wwhich has at its roots a saviour complex and is rooted in perfectionism. All the very best.

Cosima says 8 months ago

well Health and Wellness also will be nothing without the whole the only one the ONENESS.

The UNITY in ONE.

Coherence and ONENESS are the TOPPING the icing on the cake - the rest what makes the cake good.

the catch 20/20 smile...we need Unity in Everything. No Unity no Everything!!!

thank you Anna i learn of your comment and thanks Burt to you, you just gave me a lightining in my soul. THXs

This is an age old wisdom and will continue to hold good till the end of mankind. You have put it in a good way

Anna says 8 months ago

You are completely correct. Without health and wellness, no matter how much sex, relationships or money, these three are worthless. None of it can be enjoyed without health and wellness.
Thank you for the inspirational anthology.
