Noblesse Oblige is French for "Nobility Oblige" or in a full sentence "The Obligation of the Noble." By definition the term means:
* Whoever claims or is fortunate to be born a noble must conduct himself or herself nobly.
* In other words, a privileged individual must act in a Divine and proper fashion that conforms to their high position, elite society membership, high status, title, degree, power or influence. To wisely use what was bestowed, inherited, vested, chaired, entrusted - and what that were elected, raised or initiated with.
This concept is an ancient melanated philosophy preserved in French but was seen in various ways in melanated cultures in the Americas (North, Central and South America; Hawaii, Caribbean Islands), Africa, Asia, Oceania; knighthood and elite fighting orders, spiritual ascetic orders or lineages, ancient mystery pyramid/Earth mound schools, fraternal and sororal orders, military structures, royal or noble court structure, and other areas of high and educated society.
The inferred responsibility of those born privileged or earned through intellectual, social and financial success overall is to act with generosity and noble like qualities towards those less privileged locally, nationally and internationally when possible.
Through business, social interactions and networking, it is my personal mission to be a reminder and reflect the light and moral compass of Noblesse Oblige to the highly educated, professionals, those who are old money or the newly rich and wealthy - the talented, creatives, geniuses, highly skilled and gifted - those in seats of power, celebrities and stars - local, State, Federal and international governments, the learned, awaken, old souls and enlightened.
So that they understand it is not just about merely help or find "temporary" fixes to human issues but to create holistic mental, physical, spiritual and financial solutions for humanity that will be ongoing for generations.
Those with access, impactful networks, and resources can do great and mighty things for humanity intelligently if they fully understand their Divine role in society and are properly guided or consulted. The most powerful men and most powerful women in the world cannot be called such if they are not making positive quality of life changes in the world that will last for decades, hundreds or thousands of years. Do you think the melanated indigenous, aboriginal, autochthon and paleo cultures that made stone pyramids didn't want their message to last for many eons? Obviously they did. Think bigger with a long term view.
The message of noblesse oblige also goes for those who are nouveau riche (newly rich) through the lottery, became "overnight" success stories - gain financial growth or became thousandaires, millionaires or billionaires through ForEx (Foreign Exchange) trading or the new global phenomena known as Bitcoin, cryptocurrency and meme investing - or from the baby boomer to generation X and millennials wealth transfer. The mental, physical, spiritual and financial balance based on ancient spiritual science principles that I teach can help you to change the world and multiple generations. You can send me an email to enquire what is the best way for you to impact the world based on your inherited or newly acquired status or influence.

Paraphrasing/Partial Quote: "The leaders of thought and of action grope their way forward to a new life, realizing, sometimes dimly, sometimes clear-sightedly, that the life of material gain, whether for a nation or an individual, is of value only as a foundation, only as there is added to it the uplift that comes from devotion to loftier ideals. The new life thus sought can in part be developed afresh from what is roundabout in the New World; but it can developed in full only by freely drawing upon the treasure-houses of the Old World, upon the treasures stored in the ancient abodes of wisdom and learning..." - Theodore Roosevelt, Man In The Arena (Citizenship In A Republic) speech; Paris, France on April 23, 1910
