Part 20 of 45 · Chapter 21 · 12 min 00 sec
If you’ve been with this series since the beginning, you’ve already done something most people never do. You’ve sat with ideas about vibration, intention, wealth consciousness, and the inner game of money. You’ve nodded along. You’ve felt the truth of it in your body. You’ve maybe even started to feel something shift.
And yet here you are at Chapter 21, and there’s still this quiet question underneath: so what do I actually do? You’ve read the books. You’ve journaled. You’ve visualised. And some part of you is wondering when the doing part starts to count.
It’s not you. This is the exact gap that trips up almost every conscious entrepreneur who has done deep inner work. You learned that being comes before doing, so you over-corrected. You stopped trusting action altogether. Or you swung the other way — thrashing in the pool, working sixty-hour weeks, hoping effort alone would carry you home.
Here’s the reframe David offers in this chapter, and it’s a clean one. Action is not the enemy of inner work. Action is also not the engine of creation. Action is the last step — the one that lets you receive what your being, thinking, and speaking have already created. The Olympic swimmer doesn’t win by thrashing harder. They win because their spirit, mind, technique, and rest are all in alignment before they touch the water. The dash is just the final visible part of a much bigger package.
So if you’ve been stuck choosing between “do the inner work” and “just hustle,” this chapter gently dissolves that whole false choice. There’s a sequence. And once you see it, you stop second-guessing every move.
What this chapter unlocks
- The four-step creation sequence: David lays out the order — being, thinking, speaking, then acting. Action doesn’t create. It receives and lets you experience what the first three steps already built.
- Why your feelings are the dashboard: Your vibration is shown to you by how you feel. So before you act, the real question is “how am I feeling about money right now?” — because that feeling is what you’re matching reality to.
- The “you already know the first step” principle: If you’re earning $100K and want to reach $1M, you already have a clue about the first move. Not the whole map. Just the first step. And the next step only reveals itself after you take that first one.
- The difference between “try” and “do”: If you try, the universe gives you a result of trying. If you do — with resolve that it will be done — the universe meets that resolve with its own. Small distinction, massive consequence.
- Why the smallest action still matters: A smile, a small piece of good service, a single email — every act is a cause for something else. You can’t predict which small action will open the door you’ve been waiting on.
The 30-second test
Listen to the first 30 seconds. If you hear David describing a dream where an old man tells him “you cannot run this world by actions, you can only run it by the word” — and something in you leans in because you’ve secretly suspected this for a while — this is your chapter. This is the one that finally orders being, thinking, speaking, and acting into something you can actually use on a Tuesday morning.
Why this chapter matters in the series
The chapters leading here built the inner architecture — vibration, intention, wealth consciousness, the role of the mind. This chapter is the bridge from that architecture into your day. It’s where the philosophy meets the calendar. Without it, the inner work risks becoming another shelf of unused insight. With it, every small action you take starts to count as part of a much bigger creation. The chapters ahead will build on this — but only if you actually start moving.
Read the full transcript
I once had this dream. I was sitting on a small stool about 6 in high. And this old and very friendly but vigorous man was sitting on a bigger stool teaching me some lessons. And he said, “You cannot run this world by actions. You can only run it by the word.” And the dream ended. Took about 2 years for me to fully understand what that all meant. Now I understand it well enough to make it workable. Through experience, testing and a lot of reading, it finally all became simply clear. This is what it is all about. It actually has two meanings in one. We will first look at the first meaning. Here it is. Actions
are the last component of the creation processes. It is a little like swimming competitively. You cannot win the Olympics if you only know how to vigorously thrash water and barely make it from one end of the pool to the other. You are acting and very strongly. No one will fault you on effort in that pool. You would get full marks on the ffort for sure. But the people who win effort for sure. But the people who win swimming gold medals are the ones that prepare their spirit. Their being is prepared. They are confident, motivated, focused. Their mind is also prepared. Their technique is also prepared. They are rested and alert and so on. Action in
the pool is the most noticeable bit of their total winning package. But it is the final part of their creating that gold medal winning dash in your life. Although you may not know it, you create your experiences first in yourself, spirit being, then in your mind, then by our words, finally by your actions. It your words, finally by your actions. It starts at being, then moves on to thinking, then to speaking, then to acting. In fact, acting only puts into place the system necessary to receive and experience what you create in being, thinking, and speaking. Most people do not focus, nurture, and tend to their first three steps of being, thinking, and speaking. All they
do is work like crazy all day and wonder why they are not successful. They do not use the word. The word refers to the laws of the universe, the way the universe works on all levels, not just the visible and physical. These laws of the universe are not some commandments of God. They are simply the laws that regulate and enable the universe. These are laws that work not only spiritually but can also be proven scientifically using quantum physics. The word these laws has nothing to do with a particular religion or person or whatever else. The laws of the universe apply equally and unfailingly to everyone and everything all the time. They never are. These are
laws such as the laws of cause and effect called karma or reaping and sewing in spiritual teaching or the energy conservation laws in science and so on which are covered in various parts of this book. Actions are part of the word the laws of the universe but they are only a small component of it. It is important to know hat role actions play and how to use what role actions play and how to use them in creating wealth or anything else. Actions are important for sure, but you must understand that they are the last ep. Their role is to receive what you step. Their role is to receive what you already have created. On your
other three levels, you create, then you receive your creations, then you experience them. Action is for receiving and experiencing. You create a business in yourself, your being, then in your thoughts and words, and then you act to set up a system to receive this business in a manifested physical way so that you can experience it. See, action does not create. It only receives and experiences. In fact, when it comes to experiencing, again, action does not create the experience. The mind does. Action just helps the mind in doing the thing. Then the mind decides will I experience this positively, negatively, joyfully, fearfully, fast, slow. Now let us look at the second part of the meaning. This
part actually goes beyond even the creation of these laws of the universe. Even before the laws came, there was an origin. I will only summarize it here. Before anything was created, anything at all was an infinite void. the so-called darkness in the Bible, a field of infinite potential out of which thing and nothing originated. Out of no thing, nothing and something arose. Even nothing needed a container, an originator. And that originator was the no thing, the infinite eternal void. Now the very first thing to arise out of that infinite void, that infinite undisturbed peace, was a vibration, an instance of a vibration. For a reason we do not know, something awoke in that void. First
by a small vibration and then it happened again and again, growing, exciting the next and so on. In the beginning, there was the word, the vibration, a tiny, infinitely small particle at first, an awareness, consciousness, creation. And as it grew, it shone even brighter, clearer, and started to create more like it by exciting the void with intent, extending itself forever. Although they are all equal, the ones that came after are forever linked to and nourished by the first one. And the first one is forever the universal God. In the beginning there was the word, the vibration. And the word was with God and the word was God. That is how creation works. And it cannot
work any other way except this way. Therefore, it applies to you because you are an extension of the original. Yourself, your spirit and soul is made in the images and likeness of the original. So, how does all this work? Look at it again. Then remember all we have learned about quantum physics. The first step of creation of anything is your vibration. Remember that everything vibrates and it is by that vibration that we harmonize and attract experiences to ourselves. Consciousness in a sense is a vibration. Happy conditions arise because you are happy and not the other way around. Wealth comes to you because of your wealth consciousness. So before you act or do anything at all,
first ask yourself, how am I vibrating? How do you tell? You tell by how you feel. Your feelings show you r vibration. So, how do you feel in your vibration. So, how do you feel in relation to money? How you feel determines what you attract to you. You are like one huge radio with a tuning knob and you can tune into any experience simply by matching your feeling to it. Action is a necessary step but the last step. Nevertheless, it cannot be used effectively to initiate as initiation is the function of being than thought. Know all this and you will stop thrashing about in the pool. Always do an excellent job. Always focus on the
task and produce excellent value from it. Do this no matter how small the action seems. Even the smallest action has a potentiality to be the cause of the greatest next opportunity for you. In this universe, absolutely everything is a cause for another thing and is caused by something else. Even your smallest action may cause a previously unrevealed big thing that you need. Even an action as small as a smile and good service can cause the opening of a relationship and doors that you never thought possible. Ideas are worthless without action. Action makes it possible to receive what is coming your way from your intentions. Intention initiates creation of wealth. Action enables reception of it. Take
action. Even the smallest action may be what is needed to move you on to great wealth. Everything counts. Every act defines your next world. The universe is one huge chain reaction. Do not try to do anything. Just do it or do not. But do not ever try to do it. Either you set out to do it or you do not do it. But never set out to try to do it. If you try to do something, the universe will try to give you a result. But if you just do something with a resolve that it will be done, not it may work out, but it will work out, the universe will honor that resolve and
give you back with its own resolve. You already know how to do the things that you’re not doing. If you were making $100,000 a year, you know that you know how to take that to 1 million. If you sat and thought it hrough, you would realize that you have through, you would realize that you have some plans, some clues that can get you there or at least get you started on that path and that higher income level. In other words, you cannot possibly say truthfully, I do not know what the first hing is that I should do to increase my thing is that I should do to increase my income. It is not possible. You
have a clue of at least the first step. However small it may be and that is all you need to start and the rest will reveal itself to you as you move on. But if you are not doing it, if you are not acting on that first clue or step, you won’t get step two. Bridge the gap now by doing what you know now. Start now. Just do it. The next step will become clearer and available after you take the first. If you are not in a perfect business, do not wait until you are. Start now in the one you are in and move gradually to the one you wish to have. This is the
same with location, knowledge, etc. Start now. Do not wait until things are perfect before you act. Stop reacting and start creating as if. Act as if you are already the person you want to be. Act as if it is impossible not to get where you wish to go. Opportunities increase as they are taken. Sun Zoo. Take advantage of the opportunity most available to you now and it will open up previously hidden paths to more opportunities. By law of cause and effect, your taking advantage of the closest opportunity to you will cause the unfolding of many more opportunities previously unavailable to you. All other things held constant. To the extent that an individual or society has
positive and grand actions in the right way, so will they have wealth and happiness. As you can see, acting is not difficult. In fact, it is the easiest part of creation. In the past, it has been overemphasized. But as you can see, it is the last step of a very big system. This alone, the ignoring of the previous steps to acting, can explain a lot about why many people are not as wealthy and happy as they wish to be. Now you know. But always remember that acting is very important in the chain of events. Even if it is not the leader of the chain, do not now ignore it. The way to wealth and happiness
is the way of perfect balance. Balance your body, mind, and soul. Balance the time and emphasis you give to being, thinking, speaking, and acting. Don’t just act all day long and do little structured thinking and visualization, for example. Nor should you spend all your time on spiritual nutrition and ignore acting and everything else. That would not only be selfish, but it would also fail to complete the cycle of creation. Now that you have the full set of creation tools with you, let us look at the fuel that makes them work. The tools of creation are just that, tools. They need one last ingredient to work. An ingredient so powerful that no other force can equal
it.
