Question Regarding Ultimate Reality Book

[Abraham]

Hi. According to your claims, your Ultimate Reality Book teaches people how to attract wealth and success to an individual with ease. If thats the case, why are you charging money for the book? I mean, id think if your magical powers could get you wealth, you wouldnt need to charge money  for the book.

This is a serious post and I am just curious.

Thanks,

Abraham

 I am not a big fan of books claiming to teach people how to attract wealth/success/hot woman/fast cars... however I don't think there is anything magical about it either.

It comes down to changing the way you see reality and how you can affect it. About not blaming your fate on circumstances etc etc etc blah blah. The techniques are not magic. And they are not easy... it's not easy for people to change the way they think about themselves and the world around them.

Thank you for your question which you are not the first person to ask.

The price is nothing whatsoever to do with money, and the book itself is only partly to do with wealth creation.

The price of the book is to provide tangible value. Many of the wealthiest people in the world such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet worth tens of billions of dollars as well as many others have written books, they still have a price attached however.

The reason for this is that no price is usually associated with no value and nothing could be further from the truth in the case of my book. It is over 600 pages and took years to write. It receives numerous testimonials and many people tell me it is worth ten times the very modest price which is excellent value considering books of 200 pages often sell for $15 or more.

I hope that answers your question.

Best regards,

Adrian.

I have to agree with Adrian 100%!
Where would anyone be if everything was free?

what's the point in being an intellectual prostitute???  Bottom line, how many people would offer any 'donations' for this info, or any info, as Adrian pointed out?
Probably....N-o-n-e

I didn't bat an eye at the price...geez, if you cannot afford a few bucks for the wealth of info in this book, then...well, I don't know.  

best of luck to all!

From what I glean, Abraham comes from a tradition in which teaching spiritual and metaphysical knowledge is often regarded as something that should be done without monetary compensation. In some parts of the East accepting money for teaching the Quran is regarded almost as a curse. In India and Pakistan most spiritual and religious books, Muslim, Hindu, Jain, or Sikh, are printed by Trusts supported by donations and a pittance charged for them. But this is not Hindustan, this is America!

And that being said, someone has to pay the bills for printing and ink, and distribution, and paper! It's expensive. And our culture is not literally inclined. People don't buy books much anymore instead they download them or watch TV while their brainwaves are made into pudding.

What is an author, printer, and distributor to do?

And East is East, West is West. And as William S. Burroughs said - There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Ever.

Knowledge always has a price.
Every lunch has it's price.

Either in it's acquisition or its application. That price may be monetary, it may be a matter of work and effort needed to obtain it. Money is a symbolic representation of the transfer of energy and effort, for energy is the ability to do work. But acquiring knowledge demands an energetic exchange that is, to some degree, "payment".

Easy come, easy go. That which we work for we value.
It is wise for a man to make a living teaching, this is a noble way of earning sustenance - better than robbing little old ladies and stealing their purses, or seducing little young ladies and pimping your lifestyle from them. Heck -- it's better than running for political offices

Abraham's warning, of course, reminds one to be aware of ones intentions. Are we for profit or are we for assisting humanity and it's growth. There is nothing noxious about Abraham's questions. And if Adrian were unable to charge for his knowledge on some level his ability to articulate and present what he thinks he has to offer would be affected. Everything in our culture costs money on some level, putting an ebook on the Internet costs money, Xeroxing packets costs money.

For me, spending money on a couple of Robert Bruce's books (for example) was a wise decision a few years ago, it opened my mind to a wider range of information and knowledge. I expect the same will be the case when I drop a dime for Adrian's Book.

What is off putting to many seekers of knowledge is the Seminar culture that exists, mainly in America but throughout the Western world, and is associated with Metaphysical study, and the "New Age". It's suffused across the culture, the convention and seminar - cost's 2 dimes to get in, 2 dimes to leave. As a younger boy, getting into a "Tablighi Jamat Ijtima" for free or a Sufi's lectures or dhikr circle for free, was more illuminating than paying for an "Islamic Society of North America" Convention.

Being friends with a Real Estate Investor was more illuminating than paying for a "Real Estate Seminar".

The seminar culture strikes Jew, Muslim, Christian, Pagan, and Rosicrucian alike

The profits derived from $1000 a head enneigram seminars is what causes one to suspect the forces of mammon being worshiped, rather than the forces of light.

But heck, lecturers' gotta eat too

I'm no fence sitter, I just enjoy examining every facet of phenomena and thereby seeing a wider range of the truth.

And we have to think , were glad to pay for that because if we didnt pay we wouldn't have more than one book that talk about astral projection and that would suck.

And the book would be so damn little and it would suck. Money bring more quality books.
