You’ve read the Passion Test. By now you know your top five passions and you’ve
gotten a great deal of clarity about what those mean to you.
The next question we are most often asked is, “How do I support myself living my
passions? How do I create income following my dreams?”
The first, most important point to know is that you already have all the knowledge, all the
skills, everything you need, inside of you, to achieve anything you choose to create in
your life. The only reason you might think this is not true is because you have been
conditioned to believe you are less than you really are.
You have the ability to draw to you, all the people, the places, the situations that will
allow you to fulfill whatever dreams you hold in your heart. Those dreams are there for a
reason. They are born of your passions. Healthy Wealthy nWise provides a fabulous
course called The Science of Creating Your Dreams which will help you express those
dreams so you can manifest them (www.scienceofcreatingyourdreams.com).
This report is about how to turn those dreams into realities—how to manifest them in
your world. As you read in The Passion Test, everything is created twice, once in the
mind and then again in the material world.
If you know everything you need to know, then the critical question is: “How do I tap
into that knowledge to create an abundant, fulfilled life? How do I access that wisdom
within myself to be able to manifest anything I choose to have?”
Almost all of us have been raised in an environment, a culture, a society in which we are
taught we have to be certain ways. We have to speak certain ways. We have to do things
in a certain way. Otherwise, we won’t have a successful, happy life.
Yet these lessons have been taught by people who themselves are often not fulfilled.
They pass on the failed concepts of their past, and guess what? They don’t work any
better now than they did for those who taught them to us.
These false beliefs, these false concepts, these false ideas have driven our life. We’ve
been told to “be realistic,” that we need to “get a job,” we need to “be responsible.”
While there is much to be said for being responsible or having a job, if we are denying
the stirrings of our heart in the process, then we will find ourselves miserable. In this state
the truth of who we are, the knowledge and wisdom which lies within us will lie
untapped.
So, how do we begin to access our inner wisdom? You already have. When you
identified the things which are most important to you in your life, the passions which
light that fire inside of you, then you began to go down that road to fulfilling your
dreams. Choosing consistently in favor of your passions is the first step in accessing your
inner wisdom, to living the life you were put here to live.
Your passions are your guiding light to allow you to live your purpose. When you live
your purpose, then you are aligned with God’s will for you. When you live that purpose
with a full and open heart, then the wealth, the people, all of the things required for you
to fulfill that purpose come to you automatically, sometimes in inexplicable ways.
There is a great quote by the Himalayan adventurer, W.H. Murray, you will do well to
memorize.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always
ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary
truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans. That the moment
one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to
help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from
the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I have
learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: “Whatever you can do, or dream you
can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
As you read in The Passion Test, this is the first and most important prerequisite for
creating whatever you choose to create in your life—commitment. It is commitment that
has allowed any great person, any wealthy person, any person who is truly successful in
their life, to achieve whatever they have achieved.
No matter what you do, there will always be challenges. There will always be
opportunities to give up. That’s why the first place to start in creating the life of your
dreams is to go deep into your heart and ask yourself, “Am I truly committed?”
Once you are committed, there are eight principles for creating Enlightened Wealth. They
are:
1. Know Yourself – “Curving back on myself, I create again and again.” All acts of
creation begin within.
2. Giving – “When people come together with the intention of giving maximum,
each receives maximum.”
3. Dreams – Dreams provide the why for every what.
4. Mentors – If you’re going to cross a mine field, it’s best to follow someone who’s
been through it before.
5. Teams – “Together everyone achieves miracles.”
6. Alliances – “The whole is more than the sum of the parts.”
7. Systems, Skills and Tools – Save yourself time energy and money
8. Freedom from the Money Game
We’ll introduce each of these principles in this report. In Healthy Wealthy nWise’s
program, The Science of Creating Your Dreams, we go deeply into each one and walk
you through them with exercises to allow you to apply them fully in your own life.
The power of these principles is in the leverage they provide. Leverage is the ability to do
less and accomplish more, to do least and accomplish most, and ultimately, to do nothing
and accomplish everything.
Think of a lever. A lever is made up of three parts: 1) an object to be moved (i.e. a goal to
be accomplished); 2) the lever itself, i.e. a long bar or rod upon which pressure is exerted
to move the object; and 3) a fulcrum on which the lever sits. When the object to be
moved is placed on one end of the lever, the fulcrum is placed closer to that object so that
a small amount of pressure on the end of the lever is all that’s needed to lift the object,
i.e. to achieve the goal.
The secret of creating raging rivers of profits in your life is the secret of applying the
principle of leverage in intelligent ways which allow you to obtain maximum results with
minimum efforts. When you learn to apply the following eight principles to leverage the
impact of any action you take, you will find there are no limits to what you can create in
your life.
When you have fully mastered the eighth principle, Freedom from the Money Game, you
will discover that you can do virtually anything with little or no effort.
Know Yourself
You’ve begun this process. That is what the Passion Test is all about. Knowing yourself
means gaining the ability to move past the beliefs, ideas and concepts which you’ve been
trained and taught all your life, but which hide your own true nature from you.
Success in any area of life is built on the ability to be authentic, the ability to be real, the
ability to express your true self. That takes practice. There are all sorts of inputs from our
environment constantly asking us, suggesting to us, encouraging us to be and act in ways
which are acceptable to others. We may even be threatened if we express those deepest
impulses of our own hearts.
Knowing yourself, getting aligned with those things which stir your soul is the key to
living your purpose. When you live your purpose, when you are aligned with your
purpose, then everything you choose to have in your life will begin to unfold.
Giving
Some people say, “Don’t you begin giving once you’ve achieved success? Once you have
wealth, then you can give. Isn’t that true?”
No. It’s not true. If you want to create raging rivers of profits flowing into your life,
doing what you love and making lots and lots of money at the same time, living a life of
true abundance, that will only come from the value you give. The greatest and truest
value YOU can provide, comes from alignment with your passions, with those things
which are most deeply important and meaningful to you.
When you are aligned with that, then you share your joy, your skills, your knowledge,
your talents with others, and you do it in a way which allows them to connect with and
fulfill what is most important to them, then you will find that wealth flows to you, that
those raging rivers of profits flow to you, in quantities beyond anything you could have
imagined.
The more important the thing you provide is to those you choose to serve, the more
deeply what you provide connects with what is deeply important to them, the greater the
profits, the greater the wealth that flows to you, and the greater the fulfillment you’ll
experience.
This principle of giving is one of the greatest secrets of a successful, fulfilled life. It’s not
about giving money, although there’s nothing wrong with that. Once you have all the
money you need, for yourself and your family, it’s natural to want to share it with others.
But giving begins now, not in some hazy future. It begins with giving what you have to
give, whatever that may be. One of our favorite quotes comes from His Holiness
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi:
“When people come together with the intention of giving maximum, each receives
maximum.”
From the first principle, knowing yourself, which means knowing what you have to give,
the second principle is to give value. Not in the way you think it should be given, but in
the way those you choose to serve are open to receive it. This requires the ability to
understand others. To understand what is important to others.
Dreams
Those dreams which live in your heart, which inspire you and excite you are there for a
reason. They are there to draw you onward to fulfill your purpose in life. They are there
to give you the inspiration and motivation to perform action.
Success is born of achievement, which in turn results from action, which has its
beginning in the world of thought which is born from knowing, from knowing your self.
The world of thought is the world of dreams. This world of mind is the world of dreams.
From that world of thought, that world of dreams, the next step on the path of fulfillment
is action. Taking action we begin the process of manifesting our dreams in the world.
It’s not necessary to know what action you need to perform. Even if the action you take is
wrong, you will receive feedback, guidance, both from within and from outside. When
you pay attention to this feedback, it will move you in the direction of realizing your
dreams.
The key is to be alert, to be conscious of that feedback. In our ebook, From Sad to Glad –
7 Steps to Facing Change with Love and Power (www.stayinginlove.com), we talk about
expansion and contraction.
Expansion and contraction are the clues, the messages you receive from inside and
outside constantly, letting you know if you are moving in the direction of your
fulfillment. Expansion is the green light, telling you it is time to pull out all the stops and
move forward along the current path of action with vigor. Contraction is the red light
telling you to stop, take stock, reflect, and go within to see what adjustments need to be
made to the path of action to return to expansion.
You know what expansion feels like. What are some words which describe what it feels
like to be expanded? Love, fullness, connectedness, excitement, being turned on,
happiness, joy, generosity, thoughtfulness, compassion, openness—all describe this
feeling of expansion.
On the other side, we’ve all had the experience of feeling contracted. What are some
words which describe the way you feel when you’re contracted? Shut down, lonely,
disconnected, unhappy, anxious, tense, irritable, worried, angry, depressed, small,
limited—none of us much likes the feelings associated with contraction.
It’s natural to want to feel expanded, and to want to avoid feeling contracted. Yet that is
true only because we have resisted contraction in the past. When we resist the feelings of
contraction, then we perpetuate them. We’ve heard that saying: What we resist persists.
The more we perpetuate contraction, the more pain and suffering we experience. The key
to the end of contraction is to let go, to allow ourselves to feel it completely. When we do
that we discover that the contraction has, at its basis, the experience of fullness.
The reality is that expansion and contraction are not good or bad any more than day and
night are good or bad. We don’t say, “Oh, it’s day, this is good,” and then, “It’s night,
that is bad.” We understand that day and night are just different phases of life. They are
the waves of life. They are natural movements of life.
In the same way, expansion and contraction are not good and bad. They are simply the
phases of life. Expansion is a signal or sign to us that this is a time to move forward with
our action. To move forward with strength and power, because at those times we feel
naturally motivated.
When we feel contracted this is a signal or sign from Nature, from the Universe, from
God, that it’s time stop, reflect, to go more deeply into ourselves. It’s the time to
understand more completely who we are, because there is something about the action
we’re in the midst of which is not aligned with our purpose, which is not aligned with
God’s will for us. It is our opportunity to look and see what is missing. Where is that
spark of inspiration which is missing.
Mentors
One of the ways we can get guidance and direction, and find our way along the path, is
by connecting with people who have been along a similar path before us. One of our
partners is fond of saying: “If you have to traverse a mine field, wouldn’t you prefer to
have guidance from someone who has been through that mine field before you?”
That is the role of a mentor. A mentor has been through the mine field before. They know
the pitfalls. They know the dangers. They know where to step and not to step.
Finding and associating with mentors who can guide you through the mine field that lies
along the path to your dreams is the fourth fundamental principle of creating enlightened
wealth.
We say “attract” mentors to you, because finding your mentor is not about running
around in the world, going hither and thither, looking for that person or those people who
can show you the way. It’s about attracting the perfect mentor to you. The key to creating
enlightened wealth is gaining the ability to attract all the people, all the places, all the
situations you need to fulfill your destiny.
There is an ancient text, called the Bhagavad Gita which was written thousands of years
ago. Within it is the knowledge of how to gain maximum from a teacher: “Through
devotion, repeated inquiry and service, the wise, who have experienced reality will teach
you knowledge.”
What does that mean when it comes to learning from a mentor? Devotion is a quality of
the heart. The first and most fundamental principle for gaining knowledge from a mentor
is to have an open heart and mind. To come to the mentor with the willingness to set
aside one’s own ego, one’s own ideas and follow the direction provided by the mentor.
“Repeated inquiry” is the requirement of understanding, to ask those questions you need
answered in order to understand and apply the knowledge the mentor provides.
The third principle is “service.” If you do not have great accomplishments, are not well
known, do not have a reputation, how can you possibly attract a mentor who has great
accomplishments? The most effective way is to help them fulfill their goals and their
dreams.
This principle is true of anyone. If you want to gain from someone, if you want to benefit
from your association with someone, particularly if you want the guidance and direction
from a mentor, then find out what is their most important current objective, and then find
a way to help them achieve that. When you become indispensable to them because you
provide them with such valuable service, then they will automatically and immediately be
looking to give you their knowledge and their wisdom because they want you to be
successful in helping them realize their objectives.
Teams
“Together Everyone Achieves Miracles.” It’s not possible for anyone to enjoy great
success, to attract huge wealth and create raging rivers of profits without the help of a
team.
A great team is made of people who share common values and have complimentary skills
and talents. In their book, Attracting Perfect Customers, Jan Brogniez (Stringer) and
Stacy Hall provide a powerful and effective process for attracting the perfect team
members. We use this process whenever we want to attract some important partner, and
we highly recommend it.
You will discover that a team made up of all the same kinds of people will have a hard
time getting much accomplished. Some people come up with great ideas, others are best
at putting together strategies and programs for implementing those ideas, still others are
skilled at identifying the pitfalls and potential challenges which need to be addressed, and
some people love the process of putting plans into action, attending to the details. All of
these qualities are necessary and essential to accomplish anything worth doing.
Your job is to get clear on who you are. What are your passions? What are your skills?
What are your talents? What do you love and what do you love doing? Only when you
know the answers to these questions can you attract a team which is capable of
supporting you in creating the life you deserve to live.
You know from the principle of a magnet that opposites attract. Your team will be made
up of individuals with complimentary skills and talents. The clearer you are about who
you are, the more powerful your ability to attract your ideal team.
Alliances
Alliances is about creating teams on a much larger scale. We have created an entire
program which goes deeply into the precise methods we have used in Enlightened
Alliances to create alliance relationships with people like Jack Canfield, Mark Victor
Hansen, Robert Allen, Jay Abraham, T. Harv Eker, and many others
(www.alliancesecrets.com).
Alliances are among the most powerful tools you can use to gain incredible leverage. If
leverage means to do less and accomplish more, alliances allow you to do the least and
accomplish the most. With the right alliance relationships you can reach anyone in the
world.
Alliances are built on the principle of finding those individuals and organizations who
can help you fulfill your dreams, achieve your objectives, and for whom you can provide
a valuable, or even critical means to help them realize their dreams or achieve their
objectives. An alliance is a relationship. Like any relationship there has to be mutual
benefit in order for it to be successful.
When you are investigating potential alliance partners, be sure to look beyond the purely
monetary benefits you may gain from the relationship. The difference between a joint
venture and an alliance is the difference between a short-term, purely business
relationship and a long term friendship and business relationship.
When you approach alliance relationships from this framework, you will find you can
make 10, 20, 50 or even 100 times the profits which are possible from just a joint venture.
Why? Because when you select alliance partners who become friends, as well as business
partners, you create a long term relationship which will provide multiple opportunities for
mutual benefit over the life of that friendship.
Creating an alliance first requires knowing yourself (have you heard this before?). It
requires knowing what is most important to you, what you choose to create in your life,
what you enjoy doing. With this knowledge, you are in a position to locate potential
partners who are able to leverage your ability to realize your dreams.
Having located them, the next step is identifying what is critical to your potential partner.
What are the key things they are trying to achieve? When you discover how to help a
partner achieve their goals, their objectives, then it will be simple, easy and effortless to
create a relationship which will in turn help you fulfill your goals and objectives.
This principle is about “How do I do what I choose to do?” Most people think the “how”
is the most important thing to master. The truth is the “how” is the least important. The
most important element of achieving success, as you have heard us say before, is clarity.
When you are clear on what you choose to create in your life, it will begin to show up,
and only to the extent you are clear.
At the same time, once you have that clarity, it’s important, valuable and necessary to
either gain the systems, skills and tools required to realize your dreams, or to align with
those who have them.
System stands for “Save Yourself Time, Energy and Money.” Michael Gerber, author of
The E-Myth, has created powerful programs to help entrepreneurs and business people
systematize their businesses.
The most effective way to apply the principle of systems, skills and tools is to find
someone who has already been incredibly successful doing what you want to do, then
learn the systems they have created to support their success. Study with them to master
the skills they have used, and acquire the tools they have used or created.
Our partner in creating the Enlightened Millionaire Program, Robert Allen, is a master at
creating systems. He has used this gift to help thousands learn how to effectively and
profitably create wealth through real estate, through stock market investments, through
internet marketing and through what he calls “infopreneuring,” which means marketing
information.
Bob’s first #1 NY Times bestselling book, Nothing Down, provided a simple, effective
system for investing in real estate which anyone could apply, even if they had no money
of their own to invest. Is it any wonder that this book sold more than a million copies?
There is an old saying, “Why reinvent the wheel?” Why indeed, at least until you have
used all the wheels already available. Once you have mastered your area, have created
raging rivers of profits, and exhausted the tools currently available, then you may choose
to use the freedom provided by your wealth to create wheels no one has ever thought of
before. But start by mastering those which have already proven effective. When you do,
you will save yourself an awful lot of time, energy and money.
In the past we thought of this principle as creating and growing ongoing, passive streams
of income. “Passive” income means income you don’t have to spend your own time
earning. Examples of passive income streams include royalties from books, software,
music, videos, etc., stock dividends, interest income, license fees and the list goes on.
Passive streams of income are a great thing to have, along with residual income, which
means income for work you’ve done in the past.
However, these ideas are still rooted in the “money game.” One of our friends, partners
and colleagues, Bob Scheinfeld, has articulated the nature of the money game exquisitely.
More importantly he can show you how to “bust loose from the money game”
permanently.
We believe this is the most useful and valuable knowledge you may ever come across.
For this reason, we have provided the transcript of our Passion interview with Bob as part
of this report. Read it, absorb it and then read Bob’s book, Busting Loose From the
Money Game. You will also want to check out his guided tour of “Busting Loose from
the Money Game” at:

Bob Scheinfeld
Chris Attwood: I am going to plunge right in and ask if you would begin by
telling us the story of what it was like to grow up with Aaron
Scheinfeld, and what you learned from him along the way?
Bob Scheinfeld: It’s a fascinating story and ties directly into the topic. I grew
up in this family with this gigantic, international success
story. My grandfather, beyond that, was just an amazing
man. He advised two Presidents, besides building this
gigantic company. He was an amazingly accomplished man,
period.
I don’t know how many people have kids who are constantly
asking the question “Why?” and driving them crazy, but
that’s the kind of kid I was. When I was 12 years old, and I
became very aware of this mystery, every time I had contact
with my grandfather, I was bugging him, “What’s this secret?
What’s this mystery? What’s this undercurrent that no one is
talking about, about your success?” He kept putting me off
and putting me off.
Chris Attwood: Wonderful. Tell us how these passions led you into the
business realm. You mentioned that you went through some
ups and downs, and it was a journey. Would you share the
story of how that unfolded and what role your passions
played along the way? Bring us up to just before the work
you’re doing today.
Bob Scheinfeld: The work I’m doing today was the result of a series of
breakthroughs. I needed to go through a whole bunch of
things before I was ready, so to speak, to be able to have a
breakthrough like that. So to me, my whole life, everything
that has happened up until about two years ago, was
specifically designed to support me in having that
breakthrough, so that was job number one, the top priority.
Chris Attwood: Do you think that’s true for everyone? Do you think that what
people have been living through has prepared them for
what’s coming up?

Bob Scheinfeld
Bob Scheinfeld: Absolutely. I believe everybody comes into this life with a
mission and a purpose—there’s something specific—and it’s
not “one” thing; it’s a complex thing, but there’s something
specific that we all wanted to do or experience. In everything
I have taught, that is one of the things I have not deleted by
some of my recent breakthroughs.
Chris Attwood: One of the things Janet and I talk about is that your
passions, the things that are most deeply important to you in
you life, we feel are some of the clues to that mission or
purpose. Would you agree with that?
Bob Scheinfeld: Yes. One of the other things I’ve discovered is that you don’t
necessarily need to consciously know what your mission or
purpose is. In some cases, I think it hurts to know too much
too soon. A lot of people think they have to know what it is in
order to be able to fulfill it. You don’t need to know
consciously, and as much as you need to know, you’ll know.
Bob Scheinfeld: Absolutely! We all have our judgments. We all have our
beliefs—this stinks, this is good, I’d like more of this and less
of that, or I’d like to change this or improve that—and most
of it’s nonsense and most of it comes from a distorted,
limited perspective, but we all have that. I’ve had it, I still
have it about some things now, although as a result of the
new work we’ll be talking about, most of that has gone by
the wayside. That’s part of life.
Bob Scheinfeld: I had a pretty ordinary career, I would say, in my 20s and
early 30s. As I was hitting my stride, both with “invisible
world skills,” tying back to the journey my grandfather started
me on, and business-building skills, I always and a knack for
certain things.
Chris Attwood: You said that as you were building up to this, you had
developed some power and skill in the invisible world. I’m

not sure that everyone will understand what that means. Can
you give some examples of what it means to have skill or
power in this area of the invisible world?
I don’t want to spend too much time on this because it’s not
where I am anymore, but essentially, it was a system for
asking for help, for being able to tap this invisible power
source for guidance, assistance, or bringing people into your
life. I understand this sounds very similar to many common
self-help things, except it’s not, when you really dive into it.
Chris Attwood: So you had developed the skill for being able to ask for what
you needed and it showed up?
Bob Scheinfeld: Yes, it’s a twin skill. One is knowing how to ask for the help
you want, not of other people, but by tapping into this
invisible source of power, and then being able to receive it.
Interestingly enough, being able to notice it and receive the
help back is much trickier than asking for it because it
generally doesn’t come in the way you’d expect it.
problem—I would use this system to ask for help, I’d get the
help I needed, and I soared in whatever I was doing. It was
amazing.
Chris Attwood: Here you were, riding high in your early 30s, made a ton of
money and then what happened?
I left the corporate world after three and a half years. One of
the things I discovered along the way was that I’d also had
this gigantic passion for personal growth, expanding myself
and teaching and helping other people, but I had said, “Not
this life. I seem to be doing business in other stuff,” and I put
that on the wayside.
I didn’t all of a sudden have all this success and then get
stupid, careless and not follow what I had learned and had
become masterful at, which some people do. They get really
successful and then get sloppy, but I hadn’t done that and it
was like, “What is going on here?”
The only way I’ve ever been able to answer the question is
to compare it to putting together a jigsaw puzzle. When you
put a jigsaw puzzle together, you dump all these pieces on
the table, they don’t look like much, you start assembling
them and it still doesn’t look like much. But after you
assemble enough of them, you start to get an idea what the
picture is.
Chris Attwood: So you figured there must have been some puzzle pieces
missing. What did you do then?
Bob Scheinfeld: I still believed in the core value of the system, even though I
knew I was missing something, so I used the system and
said, “Look, there’s obviously something I’m missing here,
so please guide me to finding whatever these missing pieces
are.” Again, this is over-simplistic, but that’s basically what I
did.
I used the system and it just kept failing for a lot of the
results I was trying to produce. Then I asked for the help to
find out what I was missing, and I was led to more puzzle
pieces. I thought to myself, “Okay, now I’ve got this and I’m
not going to have issues anymore. Now I’m just going to
soar for the rest of my life because I have the magic.”
Bob Scheinfeld: Yes. I did very well from that, as you might guess. I didn’t
really get cocky, but I thought I had my act together. It
wasn’t, “Boy, aren’t I great. I’m this genius,” or anything, but
it was just, “I think I finally got the system.” It was the system
that was important, it was not me.
I thought this was going to repeat itself and all this money
was going to disappear, I was going to end up in debt,
having to sell my house, yank my kids out of private school
and undo all this stuff we had done and that we were living
and sell the dream house that I live in and love so much. I
was really panicked about it.
Chris Attwood: So what you’re saying—and for some people who haven’t
been through your experience, this may be a bit
disconcerting—is that even having acquired, saved up and
earned some millions of dollars, you still didn’t have
security?
Chris Attwood: Let’s talk about that because there are a lot of people who
think that if they just get enough money, then they’ll be
secure.
Bob Scheinfeld: That’s a gigantic myth and we’ll get into some of this later,
as much as we have time for, but there are so many myths
running about what I call the money game. That’s one of
them.
Bob Scheinfeld: I’ll finish the one thought that ties in first. If you study history
and pay attention to the media, you see billionaires,
hundred-millionaires, and other millionaires who lose
everything they have. You see people thinking that their
money was safe in the bank, but then there are bank failures

Chris Attwood: In a moment, I’d like you to talk about the money game. I
had the opportunity to go through 13 hours of Bob’s course
on Busting Loose from the Money Game. It’s absolutely one
of the most remarkable programs that I’ve ever participated
in. It’s a view of life which is very different than almost
anything else we see in the Western world.
Bob Scheinfeld: The money game has three words in it. The last word is
“game” and the middle word is “money,” so let’s take a look
at game first. Any game you play, whether it’s a sport, a
board game, chess, Monopoly—all games have certain
things on common. They have rules, regulations and
structure.
If you’re going to play the game and it’s going to work, all the

Chris Attwood: You can’t play the game if you don’t follow them.
Bob Scheinfeld: Right. That’s where the money game is different because
when we’re growing up, we’re taught that there’s this money
game and we’re taught what the rules and regulations are.
There really aren’t any and we don’t have time to go into
that; we’re going to give you a resource where you can get
more detail on some of the rules, regulations and confusion
there.
But some of the most common rules of the money game that
we all just accept as real and that you have to live by them,
they’re etched in stone, just like the rules in sports—there’s
a limited supply of money that’s available to you, so every
time you spend, that limited supply decreases. You can lose
the money. As I mentioned before, you can go beyond zero

into debt.
This gets into something else we have to talk about, but for
now, the seed that I want to plant is: everything you thought
was true about money and everything you thought was true
about the money game, how you have to play it and how it

You can choose to bust loose from that game and play a
completely different game, where there is not a limited
supply of money, your supply does not decrease when you
spend, you cannot lose it, you cannot go into debt, you don’t
have to work harder or smarter, or deliver more value to
have more.
I recognize that this may sound like wild and crazy stuff, but I
want to tell you—it’s something that’s absolutely doable,
very practical, and I have done it. It comes back to when I
was telling the story of what happened to me. I realized it
doesn’t matter how many millions of dollars I piled up this
time, I can lose it again.
I call this other source of abundance, just for a fun and sexy
term, “cosmic overdraft protection.” I discovered it was
actually possible to do. I understand this may sound nuts to
everybody listening. But as you know, Chris, it’s very real,
I’m living proof of it, I can document it and document the
path to get there.
The way I learned you can actually create the game is to tie
this cosmic overdraft protection—which is another source of

Bob Scheinfeld: What would it be like in terms of what you might or might not
do with what you do for a living right now? What might it do
in terms of investments you’re dealing with, worrying about
retirement or things with your kids? What kinds of limitations,
that you’re currently experiencing, would go away in that
kind of scenario?
Chris Attwood: So you have been telling us that there is a money game
which all of us have been trained to play from the time we
were young kids? Is that true for almost all of us?
Chris Attwood: We’ve been trained to play the game with the rules and
regulations, some of us have gotten good at it and some of
us have not been very successful at it. You’re saying that
this is a game we have a choice to step out of, unlike if we
want to keep playing a sport, we can’t step out of it.
Bob Scheinfeld: And prosper in the way that everybody would like to prosper.
The other piece of the puzzle is you cannot win the money
game according to the rules, regulations and structure that
we’re taught. Everyone has experienced this, but most
people probably think, “If you just pile up enough,” then what
I’m about to say doesn’t happen anymore.
But this person is not a happy camper. You see this all over.
There are people who look at the super-wealthy and think,
“Those people have private jets, mansions, fancy lifestyles
and they’re happy and enjoying everything.” Deep down, we
all know that’s not true, because we’ve seen enough stories
of people who have hit those pinnacles, and have become
drug addicts and such.
We know it’s not true, but it’s such a sexy dream that
nobody wants to let go of it. So we all blind ourselves to the

fact that there isn’t gold at the end of the rainbow when you
play the money game. But there is gold at the end of the
rainbow, and all the fantasies can come true, if you bust
loose and start playing a new game with a different set of
rules, which I discovered on this amazing journey that my
grandfather started me on.
Chris Attwood: I know from your work that you refer to these two games as
the “phase one game” and the “phase two game.” Can you
talk about that and the differences between them?
Bob Scheinfeld: Yes. I think probably most people, in one way, shape or
form, have heard a saying that goes something like this: “We
are spiritual beings having a physical experience.” That
means we are very powerful beings, much more powerful
than we think or have been taught, and we’ve come into this
physical experience sometimes to play or grow and learn.
what phase one is, it may sound crazy and wild. You may
think to yourself, “Why would anybody want to play a game
like that?” I want to remind you of our discussion before
about how crazy basketball, baseball, football, soccer and
chess would seem to somebody from another planet if they
looked at them objectively.
If you start out as an infinite being, you can snap your finger
and create anything, which is who I believe we all really are,
and you convince yourself that you’ve got no power, wisdom
or abundance, and all the power is outside of you, as is the
money, it’s quite a challenge.
We play this game for a while, just like we play the money
game for a while. Ultimately, you can imagine that if you’re
an infinite being and you convince yourself that you’re the
exact opposite of that, you’re going to hit a point of massive
pain and start to think, “Wait a minute. There’s something
that just doesn’t make sense about this.
find out what that something else is.” When that happens,
it’s a signal that you’re getting ready to more into phase two
of the human game, in which you reclaim all the power and
wisdom that you hid in phase one. You remember who you
are, expand back into the infiniteness that’s who you really
are, but you still say here within the illusion.
Chris Attwood: I think what you said is very interesting. It does make it
clear—when you think about all the games that we, as
humans, have created—they all have arbitrary rules and
regulations that we created so we can have fun together.
You’re saying that, as infinite beings, we have created such
a game, but in much greater complexity and depth.
Bob Scheinfeld: Absolutely. There’s a lot that’s taught in the typical self-help
literature that suggests something which sounds very similar,
except it doesn’t work. I have learned from personal
experience, from doing it, teaching it, and trying it again
when I was desperate, trying to stop my falls at various
points.
Bob Scheinfeld: If you take a look at football, soccer or any of the games
we’re playing from an objective perspective, the rules,
regulations and structures seem crazy. It’s not just games;
everybody has looked around at this world we live in—at the
entire globe—at various things going on or that went on in
history, and has said, “That makes absolutely no sense.
Chris Attwood: Do you mean like the woman picking up a car off of her child
or something?
Bob Scheinfeld: Not that kind of stuff; stuff like Hitler. Also, I don’t know if
anyone is in this business, but one of my big pet peeves has
been the cigarette industry, and all this stuff has come out
about these people at board meetings, planning how to get
young kids addicted to cigarettes so they can make more
money. I used to look at that and think: how can a bunch of
grown adults, who have kids, sit in a board meeting and
make a decision like that? It makes absolutely no sense.
To me, that’s what the whole deal is about. To me, the entire
human game is created by and played in consciousness.
None of it’s real, it’s all an illusion, just like when you’re
sitting in a movie theater and looking at the stuff on the
screen. It looks real, feels real—convinces you it’s real, even
though you know it’s not—and you get sucked into it.
Chris Attwood: I’d love it if you would share what it’s like for someone who’s
playing the phase two game. You’ve talked about the phase
one game and how we’ve convinced ourselves that we’re
stupid, dumb, worthless and limited. When someone fully
steps into the phase two game, what’s that like?
Bob Scheinfeld: There is not a rule or a formula for what it looks like because
we’re all infinite beings with infinite potential, and just like we
are on this planet in human form, we all have different
interests. So there is no common rule or formula for what it
looks like because we all want to play with different things.
your “expanded self.” It’s the real you, the infinite being, who
you really are.
This part’s job is to keep you away from your power, wisdom
and abundance and convince you that you’re the exact
opposite of who you are. When you move into phase two,
this other aspect of yourself—there’s no separation here; it’s
all one, gigantic, infinite being, but we have to talk about it as
if it’s separate—completely shifts gears. Twenty-four hours,
seven days a week, when it used to be about limiting you
and keeping you away from the truth and your power, it
becomes the exact opposite.
As you move more deeply into phase two, reclaim more and
more of your power, wisdom and abundance or access to
your cosmic overdraft account, literal things that you would
call miracles become commonplace for you because you’re
creating the whole thing out of your consciousness.
The more deeply you move into phase two, the more power
and ability you have to do that in what’s going on with you.
What is that going to look like if you actually had more
power? What is it going to look like if you actually tapped
into this cosmic overdraft? It can look any way you want,
because you’re an infinite being and you can create
whatever you want.
You have total control over all of it. Since the game is not
about limiting you and convincing yourself you’re stupid and
poor anymore, it’s about showing you how magnificent and
amazing you are, you start to feel and act and be more
magnificent and more infinite. The way people treat you
changes.
Who you really are has had a blast the whole time you’ve
been playing this human game, even though from your and
my limited perspectives, we could have judged a lot of it as
being awful, terrible, struggle, pain or hardship. The truth is,

the infinite being you are, is and has always been having a
blast.
Chris Attwood: Can anybody make this shift to phase two? Is there a
special requirement or anything?
[In 2006], I’ll be 49, and I first discovered this whole phase
two deal and started my journey of expansion two years ago.
So for 47 years, I tried to make it all work from a phase one
perspective and failed. That’s 47 years, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, trying to make it work in a phase one
world and realizing that it didn’t.
Bob Scheinfeld: I could tell you all kinds of little stories and most of them
would take longer, but the biggest, sexiest story I would
explain is busting loose from the money game. I live in a
situation right now where I do not watch the balances in my
checking account, for my businesses or my personal life, I
don’t track the numbers.
You follow that without money being an issue, and when you
start having the ability to do that, your joyfulness,

It’s not because I still have millions of dollars left from selling
the software company, it’s because I opened up to this
infinite abundance that’s who I really am, and have
expanded my consciousness through a process that I can
teach you, to open up to this infinite aspect of who we really
are and to be able to live with it in a day-to-day world.
Chris Attwood: Bob, I could go on talking to you all night and part of me
wishes we could, but we need to draw to a close now. At
Healthy Wealthy nWise, we believe strongly in the power of
intention to manifest outcome. What is your current, most
important project, and what intention would you like all of us
to hold for you?
Bob Scheinfeld: My passion right now is getting this work out to the world. I’m
going to have a whole series of “Busting Loose” from
different games. The Money Game was the first one.
There’s going to be Emotions Game, Relationship Game
and Business Game and other things, but this is what I
started with.
Chris Attwood: Great, thank you. We will hold the intention that the wisdom
you shared tonight and that you are sharing does go out to
everyone in the world. I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t
welcome the opportunity to bust loose from the money

Bob Scheinfeld: From my personal experience, I’m guessing that there are
people who think I’m nuts or on drugs. They may think, “This
guy sure seems serious and passionate about this. Maybe
there is something here.” Maybe you’re thinking, “A little
voice inside of me tells me he’s speaking the truth,” no
matter how outlandish it is. Maybe your thoughts are
somewhere in between.
The other thing I would ask you to think about is: are you
feeling something, even if there’s some noise in your head,
a feeling, a pull or a tug that says, “There might be some
truth to this”? If you are, that is a sign that perhaps you’re
getting ready to jump into the phase two game. They call it
the still, small voice.
Chris Attwood: Our next Passions Series call is on April 4th with Robert
Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. We look forward
to being with you then.
