Part 18 of 45 · Chapter 19 · 9 min 35 sec
You’ve read the books on mindset. You’ve highlighted the chapters on identity. You’ve journaled the affirmations and listened to the meditations. You know, on some level, that “being” comes before “having.” That’s not new information for you.
And yet — if something still isn’t clicking, this chapter is going to land differently. Because there’s a difference between understanding “be it before you have it” as a concept and actually knowing how to do it. Or rather, how to stop doing it and just be it. Most of us have been taught the slogan without ever being shown the mechanics underneath.
It’s not you. It’s not that you didn’t try hard enough or that you missed something the first 50 times you heard this idea. The truth is, almost every book on this subject teaches “being” as if it were a thought exercise. Something you think your way into. But being isn’t a thought. That’s the piece nobody gave you.
Here’s the reframe David offers in Chapter 19: being comes before thinking. Being is the cause. Thinking is what happens afterwards, sponsored by whatever state you’re already in. When you’re hungry, you think hungry thoughts. When you’re anxious, you think anxious thoughts. So if you’ve been trying to think your way to wealthy, you’ve had the sequence backwards. No wonder it felt like pushing a boulder uphill.
This chapter walks you through what it actually means to choose a state — and why that choice doesn’t require any evidence from your physical world to be valid. If you’re ready to hear something you’ve heard before in a way you haven’t heard it before, this is your chapter.
What this chapter unlocks
- Why “being” is the first cause, not thinking. David explains the actual sequence: being causes thinking, thinking causes speaking, speaking causes doing. Most people try to start at thinking or doing — and that’s why nothing shifts.
- What it really means to “be wealth now.” Not pretend. Not visualise. Not affirm. Simply decide, the same way you’ve decided to stop being upset about something and just move on. You’ve done this before with other states — you can do it with wealth.
- Why looking at your bank account keeps you broke. David calls this “short-circuiting the system” — letting the result (the physical) dictate the cause (your state of being). The physical follows the spiritual and mental. Not the other way around.
- The difference between the slow way and the fast way to create. Thoughts, words, and actions are the slow lane. A change of state is the fast lane. The chapter explains why — and what makes most people unable to pull it off.
- Why doubt after the decision is what introduces delay. Once you choose the state, thinking about whether it’s true again will undo it. David shows how this exact loop is what keeps people stuck cycling through the same states.
The 30-second test
Listen to the first 30 seconds. If you hear David say that being is “first cause” and you feel something tighten in your chest — a little resistance, a little “wait, but…” — that’s the signal this chapter is for you. That resistance is exactly the loop he’s about to dismantle. Stay with it.
Why this chapter matters in the series
The earlier chapters built the foundation: how money is an idea, how the universe responds to consciousness, how your inner state shapes your outer world. This chapter is where the rubber meets the road. “Being I” is the first of two chapters on being — the core mechanism of the whole book. Everything that comes next, including the deep dives into quantum physics and conditionality, rests on whether you can grasp what David teaches here. Take your time with this one.

Being first cause the beginning being is state such as being happy. You cannot explain state nor can you do a state. You can only be a state. You cannot do happiness. You can only be happiness or be happy. Creation works as follows. Being causes thinking which causes speaking which causes doing which puts in place the system to receive and experience what you created in your being and thinking. Being is the first cause. Being is what causes thinking. So when you are happy, you will think happy thoughts. Thoughts spring from being. In other words, thoughts are sponsored by being. In fact, nothing happens without being. As you will see in later chapters, even conditions occur because
of a state of being and not the other way around as most people think they do. Happy conditions do not make you happy. It is being happy that causes happy conditions. Unhappy conditions only show up to prove your pre-existing state of unhappiness. By the time you finish reading the chapters on cause and effects and on conditionality, you will clearly see how this is so. The first ep to experiencing massive wealth is tep to experiencing massive wealth is tep to experiencing massive wealth is being wealthy. Being wealthy is an internal state. It has nothing to do with the outside world. The internal state of wealth is a decision you make right now and you become it
right now. You need nothing outside of yourself to make this decision. Once you make this decision to be wealthy, you become wealthy. It is hard to speak of this because you can only be a state. You cannot do a state nor speak a state. We shall now try to speak of this state. And when you finish this chapter, you will clearly see how being works and how you can be wealthy right now. Be wealth now here. Just like that. Be wealth. Do not try to get wealth. Be wealth. To help you understand that, consider happiness. Do not try to get happiness. Be happy. See, you can either try to do things that make you happy
or you can instantly decide to be happy. Just make a decision. You’ve done this before sometime in your life. Everyone has at one time or another said, “You know hat? I’m not going to let this bother what? I’m not going to let this bother me. I’m going to be happy and stop worrying about this.” Which is easier, trying to do things to be something or being that something instantly and letting the state of being allow you to do things consistent with it. Of course, it is easier to be happy instead of trying to get happy. And this is the same with wealth. Be wealth and everything else will follow automatically as long as you are
always at all moments being wealth. Just be it. As you will see throughout this book and in the chapter on quantum physics, all that can possibly exist exists in the ternal moment of now. Here, even the ternal moment of now. Here, even the ternal moment of now. Here, even the version of you that is wealthy and experiencing wealth already exists. If you’re not experiencing wealth right now, you are just not conscious or awake to it. When you choose to be a certain state right now here, you activate the fastest forces of creation. What happens then is that you immediately move your consciousness to that other you. In this case, the wealthy you. Being is the
fastest way to create things because it causes an instant shift. Material manifestation follows instantly to the degree that you have become the state without doubt. Again, to the degree that you have become the state without doubt, your reality will quickly shift to reflect it. As impossible as this may sound now, it will all make sense when you consider the real workings of the universe, especially after reading the quantum physics and conditionality chapters. The fastest way to create is to simply be right now whatever you wish to create. Then do not negate it by thought. Do not think about it. Just be. All your thoughts, words, and actions after that should be of that new state
you choose to be. If you are not wealthy and you wish to become wealthy, just decide right now to be wealthy from this moment of now. Do not then start to think about it. Just choose to be. From then on, all your thoughts, words, and action should be of a wealthy person. In ultimate reality, this is not a lie to you. You are actually all things anyway. Even though you may be experiencing small sections of the all, by choosing to be something else, you cause your environment and circumstances to shift o experience the new state. to experience the new state. Remember, thought comes from being. A state of being is what causes thought. A state
of hunger causes thoughts of hunger. Being is first cause. Being is. Thought is doing. Being just is. Being takes no time to be. But thought takes time to do things into being. So the fastest way to wealth is being wealthy now instantly. Change your being to a wealthy one. Do so by deciding right now and knowing it to be so with certainty against any evidence to the contrary in your physical world, which is an illusion anyway. Do it with certainty and clarify and keep holding that state of being. know you are wealthy for in ultimate reality you really are actually very wealthy indeed and you will very quickly begin to experience this wealth very quickly
indeed not many can pull this off because they doubt this but we all have the capability to do this imply declare knowingly and certainly simply declare knowingly and certainly I am and then do not start thinking about it all over again after that will only introduce delay and doubt this is what I mean remember the last time You were in a state of being broke or sad. You did not consciously think about the state questioning whether it is real, whether you were really broke or sad. You just took it for granted that you were. You believed it unquestioningly. You were just the state and that was that. You were simply it. Now do it with
wealth. Be wealth. Believe it and make it as that is that. No questions asked. The universe will obey. The sequence of creation is as follows. The unified field of consciousness that is non-physical God the source individuates itself into non-physical units. Individuated spirits or souls of various beings and objects. These units then take on individuated physical forms. The objects, people and beings that we see. Whatever it is that you see physically is created in this sequence from, of the source of all that is, God. You are a co-creator in this creation sequence. You create together with the source in the same sequence in regards to wealth. Therefore, you can ow see how futile it is to
look at your now see how futile it is to look at your individuated physical aspects like your bank account, your material wealth, your body, etc. And let what you see influence your individuated non-physical aspects like your mind and thoughts and states of being. That is looking at the result and letting that influence the cause. It is like shortcircuiting the system. It will only lead to the nhancing of that physical state. For enhancing of that physical state. For example, if you look around you and see that you are broke and you let that dictate to you that you are a broke being and you keep thinking from a broke point of reference and you think broke
thoughts and thoughts of inability, you will remain broke. The right way to do this is to never look at the ground. Never look at the physical and let that dictate to you that this is who you are. You are not your conditions. You simply cause them. The correct thing to do if you are broke is to simply choose your greatest vision of yourself, a vision of wealth. And keep that state of being of wealth. Those thoughts of wealth steady and everpresent. Act as if you were wealthy. No matter what the physical ooks like, no matter how broke your looks like, no matter how broke your physical world looks like, this will turn around the physical
to match your thoughts and states of being. Always remember the physical follows the spiritual and the mental. It’s the design of the universe. One way of creating things in this world is by thoughts, words and action. But his is the slow way to go about things. this is the slow way to go about things. The faster way is by change of state being. For example, when you say that you are hungry, that is a state. When you are confident, that is a state. You are being. You need nothing outside of yourself to be of a certain state. to acquire wealth. It is much much more ffective to be in a state of wealth, to effective
to be in a state of wealth, to make your being one of wealth, to feel wealthy and to think wealthy, speak and act wealthy. You will have a hard time becoming wealthy if you feel poor and then think, speak and act wealthy. Your state, how you feel about yourself, your being, your I am declarations. This is the fastest way to acquire wealth. The way you change your state is to decide to change your state. Simple and you can do it now. It is like being unhappy and simply deciding that you’re tired of being unhappy and you just decide to be happy. Everyone has done this before. Now do it with wealth. Expect to experience massive
success. Always maintain that state of knowing you have and experience abundance. Expectations such as these knowing at his level cause attraction and remove this level cause attraction and remove repulsion. This is extremely important. Expect massive success. Know yourself to be of such power.
