Do You Need Someone to Tell You Why You Want to Be Rich?
Part 5

This has got to stop!

"The Victorian worship of money, rooted though it is in Protestant culture, is shot through with the dread and aversion that such passages enjoin upon all faithful believers," says Christopher Herbert, Victorian Studies Volume 44, Number 2. "If money is a divinity, it is a 'forbidden' one."

Herbert goes on to talk about one of our least favorite theories of Sigmund Freud's; least favorite though not necessarily invalid - his famous doctrine of the symbolic equivalence of money and excrement. As in, "Wow! That's a s***load of money you got there!"

Herbert writes: "Wherever archaic modes of thought have predominated or persist, [Freud] declares, -in the ancient civilizations, in myths, fairy tales and superstitions, in unconscious thinking, in dreams and in neuroses-money is brought into the most intimate relationship with dirt" (9: 174).

In all these different contexts of primitive thinking, says Freud more specifically, "gold is seen in the most unambiguous way to be a symbol of faeces" (12: 187).

Can you remember a fairytale like this? Freud's evidence for such an *interesting* theory, is apparently neither plentiful nor compelling. Oddly, says Herbert, "Freud never seems to take note of what the psychoanalytic theory of money implies so powerfully, namely that money, given its symbolic proximity to the most repugnant of all things, will be bound to become an object of at least subconscious aversion and repression."

But Mr. Herbert, there ARE people hung up like that. They sabotage themselves, and push money away, nasty thing that it is. They lose diamond bracelets, fritter away fortunes, snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in the stock market... we see it all the time. I coach people all the time who's subconscious aversion to money is making a mockery of their lives.

But before we leave Freud, let's remember that money is like the Rorschah test, the ink blots. What Freud says about money says a whole lot more about him than it does about money.

Well, we know this. 25 years ago there were three taboo subjects at any civilized dinner gathering: sex, religion and money. Now I think there is only one: money. "Anyone who tells you what they make," says my young friend Matthew, "is lying."

And anyone who wants it, must rationalize it . "[so] that you may love others and do kind things."

I suggest some nice attracting-money affirmations instead: I love money. When I have money, everything and everyone in the world is better. Money loves me. Me 'n' Money, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G ... And for heaven's sake don't feel guilty if you get some, like so many people with inherited money do, I noticed in my fundraising days.

If you truly want to curse your children, have wealth they may or may not inherit, depending upon how well-controlled by you they agree to be, but do be sure and leave them gobs of it.
