Why Are There
So Many Business Links
In A Health And Spiritual
            Web Site?

I do not believe there is anything spiritual or life & health enhancing in poverty. In fact it is just the opposite.

After I had my accident and developed many illnesses (See Before & After), I was living on disability and barely making ends meet.

After a few years, I lost my home.  That period of time made me realize that it is our attitude towards money, not money itself, that can cause us problems.

Also, the stress and frustration of that time added to my health problems.

In short, I had stopped contributing to life and was quickly becoming part of the problem rather than part of the solution. 

It was then that I decided to share my experiences and research with others the internet.

But, I was still missing the mark.  I continued to struggle financially, and invested what little money I had making this web site possible and investing in herbs, vitamins, books, programs, etc.

Still I did not accept donations or sell anything, believing this to be a "altruistic" thing to do.

Today I understand that to be poor means I have little to give to myself, my family or to others. 

To be poor is to also be poor in spirit, with little to offer others.

I do not discount love as the most important thing we have to offer, but many times the frustrations of poverty make full expression of love difficult for most people.

"But", you might ask, "what of the vows of poverty taken by spiritual people?"

Those people have very large religious organizations behind them.  They do not worry about paying the bills, putting food on the table, or how to contribute to life. 

In most cases, these organizations are very wealthy, which allows them the freedom to "embrace poverty" because their basic human needs are taken care of and their good works are paid for by the church.

I offer the option of donations to allow myself to receive as well as give to others an opportunity to share.

The business opportunities I suggest all involve reputable companies who's basic premise is "people helping people."  What better way to make a living?
