It is also Jacob's and Rebecca's error of judgment to think that using the mental power of the mind to deceive is the only way to power for Jacob. Similarly, it was Moses' error of judgment to think that killing the Egyptian soldier would solve the problem. However, it was a quantum step, the fledgling effort to break with the past that was at least pointed in the right direction. Since Jacob has to run away from home with little more than the skin on his back, and thus, leaving his father's wealth to Esau, he could hardly be described as having benefited materially from the trick he played on his brother. Like Jacob we must run away from those places of limitation and take our journey into the grander scheme of things where, like Jacob we will wrestle with God, with the notion of absolute abundance, by praying for a greater consciousness to gain our blessing of prosperity and riches.
Prosperity is a choice.
