Today
we would like to focus your attention on the topic of money. Some very
common beliefs surrounding money are: “money is evil”, “having
abundance means you are a greedy person”, “money and spirituality do not
mix”, “those who have money received it by cheating others”, “you must
work hard for your money”, “there is never enough to go around”. These
are just a few of the beliefs we commonly see. There are many
misconceptions surrounding the idea of money and it is our intention to
share with you our perspective in hopes of “dispelling” some of these
limiting beliefs.
Know
that we do not view money as either “good” or “bad”, rather it is
neutral; just as everything in your reality is neutral. It is only the
perceiver who determines the value that is placed on anything in your
reality. Many misunderstand what money truly is; an exchange of
energy. It is the exchange of one service for another. Money is a
valid form of exchange which is equal to any other form of abundance on
your world.
Remember
that this reality is simply an illusion which allows you to gain a
unique perspective which will help your soul to experience a tremendous
amount of growth. You all have the ability to choose what you would
like to experience by using your own free will. Although your soul will
experience growth from every decision you make, you do not have to live
a life of lack, much can be gained from a life of abundance as well.
The universe which you exist within is infinitely abundant, you can
choose to have a lot or a little, it makes no difference.
There
are still many on your world who believe that it is more spiritual to
live in lack than to live in abundance of material wealth. To this we
smile, remember that you are a divine being choosing to have a physical
incarnation; and as a divine being, you will always be privy to infinite
abundance. Where we often see a misunderstanding is in the belief that
material wealth will somehow detract from your spiritual growth. To
attract abundance within your physical reality does not make you any
“less spiritual” of a person than someone who chooses to block abundance
and experience lack. Spirituality is not something that you can gain
or lose, it is who you are. Though you may have momentarily forgotten
your divinity, your spirituality is eternal. To say it is more
spiritual to deprive yourself of material wealth than it is to
experience abundance would be similar to saying: it is more spiritual to
experience illness than it is to experience an abundance of health.
This phrase would strike many as odd, and yet some still find it
difficult to integrate the belief that material abundance is equally
their divine right.
By
judging money as less spiritual than any other form of abundance only
serves to block the flow of abundance from coming to you. If it is your
desire to live in lack that we certainly encourage you to do so, and if
it is your wish to live in abundance then we encourage you to create
this as well. We do not see either choice as a mistake, both will
result in soul growth. However we do not want you to feel as though you
must deprive yourself of abundance and live a life of lack in order to
ensure that you will have spiritual growth. You are creator beings and
you are free to create whatever you wish to experience.
Where
we perceive there to be a bit of confusion is in deciphering between
the difference in attracting material abundance as a creator being to
enhance the comfort of your physical life and seeking material abundance
in order to define your self-worth. Those who allow material wealth to
define their self-worth are often the ones who get very little joy from
the possessions they continue to amount. The reason being, you are a
spiritual being, you cannot be defined by the physical possessions which
you create. This is why it is said, “money cannot buy happiness” and
indeed it cannot. Some try to fill this empty feeling inside with the
acquiring of more “things”, never realizing that it will not satisfy
their burning desire to feel peace, love and joy. It’s very much like
eating continuously to quench your thirst. You are not going to be able
to quench your thirst by consuming food, it will make you full but the
need for water still remains; just as material possessions cannot quench
your souls thirst for peace, love and joy.
You
are living within a physical reality, certainly manifesting physical
abundance is well within your capability. Although accumulating money
will add to your material wealth, it cannot fill the void that you feel
inside which exists because you are trying to fill it with objects
outside of yourself. Joy comes only from within. No outside
circumstance can create your happiness. You must first fill your being
with joy from within, only then can you feel the joy that comes from
having “outside” experiences. Many respond by saying that “the lack of
money is what is bringing me misery”, and to that we respond, your
misery is what is bringing you lack.
Know
that we do not see the attraction of excessive wealth as “wrong” or
“right”, although there will come a time when it will simply no longer
be desirable to possess more than you need at any one time, not because
you will learn to settle for less but because you will know you can
create what you desire anytime you wish. To have more than what you
need in order to “show” others just how much you have accumulated will
no longer be enjoyable, as all will be able to manifest everything they
desire.
There
are some who feel that those who have acquired an abundance of material
wealth are in turn “greedy people”. They believe that the abundance of
another somehow detracts from their own abundance and adds to the lack
they are experiencing. We remind you that the universe is infinite,
therefore there is more than enough energy to supply all beings with
every desire they have. Know that your attraction of abundance does not
in any way take away from the abundance of another. The universe is
infinite; there is an endless “supply”. Money is simply energy. It is
only the labels that you have given money that makes it seem as if there
is a limited supply.
Many
are now beginning to understand that the universe is abundant, yet they
still fear the lack of material abundance. This of course is what they
attract, which further acts to validate their fears of not having
enough. Yet money can be manifested as easily as the air that you
breathe. Let us offer you a simple example that we often see upon your
world. Many feel the need to save and hoard money for fear that they
will not have enough when they are in need of it. However you can only
use so much at one time. You do not fear that you will not have enough
air to breathe; you breathe in and out all day long knowing that your
next breath will be there when you need it. You do not concern yourself
with worrying about how your next breath will come; nor do you feel
compelled to “stock pile” air so that you will have enough when you need
it. You expect it to be there in abundance when you need it and so it
is. You may find this idea to be humorous; yet from our perspective we
do not see any difference. Surely you do not need to “save air”; it
will always be there when you need it, just as abundance can always be
there when you need it if your beliefs support this.
There
will come a time when this form of abundance will no longer be needed
on your world; however many new systems, ideas and beliefs must be
incorporated before the “need” for money will be removed. You will
begin to trade services rather than exchange “money” as a form of
payment for your services. You can see the very beginning stages of
this now. Yet money is the current symbol for material abundance on
your world at this time. It is needed to purchase even your most basic
of needs. The symbol which you use makes no difference, money is energy
. You could just as easily use chickens, hugs, crayons, or rocks for a
valid form of exchange instead of the paper, coins, and plastic that
you now use.
We
would like to share with you our recommendation on how to welcome
abundance in every aspect into your life if it is your wish to do so.
Rather than determining exactly how abundance can flow into your life by
focusing so intently on only your income, paychecks, clients, and
customers you block the infinite flow of abundance from coming to you
any other way. The universe is infinitely abundant and it seeks to
serve. Allow your heart to open to all possibilities that abundance can
come to you. It may be a gift, it may be an idea, it may be a
stranger, it may even come in the form of a trade. There are an
infinite number of ways which all that you desire can manifest.
We
realize that it is very hard for the human mind to simply shut off the
need to plan, and know “how” something is going to happen. In the old
energy nothing could get done if you did not have a step by step process
of how it was going to come about. But that is no longer the energy
anymore. It doesn’t take so much work on your behalf. Now you must
learn to allow. The problem lies with needing to know how and when
rather than simply allowing it to come. Knowing without a doubt that it
will manifest is what brings it into being. When you put restrictions
and limitations on how and when this manifestation can come to you only
hinders the process. Decide what it is you want to manifest, allow and
expect to receive it in the path of least resistance, and as each step
is made known to you, take the action required to manifest your desires
into physical reality.
If
you find yourself holding onto beliefs which no longer serve you, we
welcome you to call upon us and we will gladly assist you in transmuting
these limiting beliefs into one which will support the divinity
within. Remember that we cannot change the beliefs for you; however we
will gladly remind you how to release any belief with ease if it is your
wish. Know that we are not teaching you something new, rather we are
reminding you what you already know within.
We
have shared our perspective on “money” in hopes that it reaches those
who are in need of receiving this message most. We hope that this
message has in some way served you.
In love and light, we are your Angelic Guides
