Great Minds Think Alike
The saying great minds think alike was recently brought home to me. I was talking with someone about the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy and he asked, had I read this book and then that. I hadn’t even heard of the authors.
The reason he was asking was that those authors had expressed similar ideas. This didn’t surprise me. There is very little that hasn’t already been expressed from one perspective or another. The reason there are so many different belief systems, is that different people learn and understand in different ways.
I have always felt that the reason for all the different religions, that basically express a belief in a higher power, was due to our different abilities to understand concepts and philosophies. You could explain your belief to one person and he or she will get it, but the person sitting next to them is scratching their head. The concepts were beyond them. Change your delivery, and how you explain your philosophy, and the person, that didn’t get it, now understands. It’s usually a matter of perception.
With the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy, Bob and I are connecting the dots between beliefs we’ve both held for many years. We each brought different perspectives to similar beliefs that we largely came to through personal introspection. If you’re a seeker of enlightenment, you may have heard components of The Intentional Prosperity™ System before. You may say you already know this. My question to you would be, “If you know this stuff, does your life reflect it?”
Earlier I said, there’s very little that hasn’t already been expressed, but when we started writing The Intentional Prosperity™ System, Bob included some things I had never heard of. Perhaps you too will find some new enlightenment within the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy. And maybe, there is another great mind out there who has expressed those things I’d never heard of, since great minds do think alike.
Bob and I both look forward to more interesting conversations. Do you have questions? Would you like to have a discussion regarding the Intentional Prosperity™ philosophy? Give us a call 406-475-3458 Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mountain Time or e-mail us at prosper@intentional prosperity.com anytime.
Have a great day,

Gwen and Bob,
I think (yes, Descartes was right) that when we begin to focus on finding that perfect essence within ourselves, we’re given a new set of senses (i.e., sight, hearing, speech, touch, etc.) to enable us connect and communicate with others.
And, because each of us now has a set of ‘new eyes’ to see and explore and a set of ‘new ears’ to hear, interpret and understand, each of us is given our own unique teachers, interpreters, and mentors who help us reach out and reach up to be the best of who we are and how to live our lives out loud.
Then, when we find our own voice and our own style that is only and uniquely ours, we are able to strengthen the cords (chords, eh Bob?) that help us connect the dots that make up the outline of our lives.
This is true communication — inspired, truth-FULL, communion with ourselves and within the greater community of life.
namaste!
