Convergence of abundance and B-quadrant

Network Marketing's book, 'Network Marketing' gives a step by step formula to move into wealth. Dalai Lama's life gives a clear picture of abundance in spite of no apparent riches. Are both actually saying the same thing?

For those of you who have read Network Marketing, it may be interesting to realize that success as a network marketer and success as a spiritual person rest on the same premise.

Network marketing is the celebrated author's recommended route to develop business owner (B-quadrant) thinking. And he says this is the way for anyone to enter the B-quadrant of the truly wealthy (people with plenty of money, health and time) provided they work with a TEAM, following a SYSTEM (www.ArriveAtSuccess.com), to which they SURRENDER.

Spiritual discourses (art of living et al) on the other hand always speak of merging oneself with higher consciousness, surrendering the ego and visualizing the whole world as one... yours.

In both, higher consciousness and B-quadrant, the crux is removing oneself from the self-centre and accepting oneness with the abundance all around. Interestingly, spiritual techniques may use celibacy / vegetarianism and other such humbling tools... whereas business ownership calls for surrender to a system / prospecting as the humbling tools.

Eventually, as the tools are used, ego subsides and abundance manifests! And lo, proof of this was made public just recently in Network Marketing's latest book 'Rich Brother, Rich Sister' which brings out his sister from relative obscurity as an accomplished buddhist monk under the aegis of Dalai Lama! Boy, are they both abundant!
