A Metaphysical View of Money

This morning I channeled some words of advice on money from my higher self.  Sometimes all we need to do is change the way we look at things, get a new perspective, in order to clear our minds for better results.  This is what came through.

Money is a Divine Idea
To say that there is not enough money for everyone in the world is wrong.  To say that we are limited in how much we can make or how much we deserve for a service is wrong.  How can there be any limits to that which is a creation of the Divine which is limitless. 
Money is matter.  It is a creation that stems from the mind of the Creator, each of us being the Creator!  How much or how little we have is only a result of our subconscious beliefs about it.  Some, who believe it to be bad, or evil, will struggle with it throughout their lives as it is a necessary “evil” regardless.  But money itself carries no characteristics of good or bad.  It is a means by which we exchange goods.  It can not influence us towards good or bad actions as there are technically NO good or bad actions.  All that we do on this plane of existence is for our growth and expansion as higher beings.  We learn from every experience and, though most of us do not remember agreeing to go through such things, we do get what we need from each and every experience.  Therefore, there is no such thing as good or bad.  It is all relative.  As is money.
Money is merely a form of matter that can be pulled or expelled from a person during their life time.  It is an expression of what that person is going through mentally at that time period.  If they are suffering feelings of lack and limitation in their self expression then their financial funds are also affected by their mindset of lack and limitation.  But, when one opens themselves up to opportunities and allows for creative flow into their lives, seeing no lack or limitation in their creative abilities, money can not help but flow towards them for they are now experiencing abundance of thought. 
Knowing this, try to see money as a Divine Idea.  It is an expression of your thought processes that flows in and out of life like the tides of your emotions.  Do not be fearful for when the tides are low.  Simply notice it as a sign that your thoughts have been limited and change your thinking to allow the flow to enter once again.  To open the doors of your creative expression use positive affirmations and decree that the Infinite Spirit now opens the way for your divine expression and abundance.

Affirmation for Obstacles

Sometimes the best way to remove an obstacle is to give it up to God, or whatever you choose to call the Divine Source.  I really like this affirmation.

I cast this burden on the Divine Source (God) within and I go free!
Compliments of Florence Scovel Shinn

Just remember one very important thing.  Never EVER focus on a problem.  To focus on anything will only bring more of it.  I feel for the whole world knowing this essential truth.  Too many people focus on the problems of the world AND EVEN WORSE spend their time bringing it to EVERYONE'S attention!  THIS IS A HUGE NO-NO! 

By focusing on any problem you are essentially telling the Universe you want more of it!  Stop it!  Focus on what you do want ONLY!  Don't try to find a solution.  That's not your job.  You must give over the problem ENTIRELY into the hands of the Divine and trust that it will bring about the solution in Divine Order.  Don't ever try to control how things are to be fixed.  Just give it up and let it go.  Focus all of your attention on the final result you want to see.  See it clearly.  Spend time picturing it and really feeling it.  You can create a peaceful world!  Spread light not darkness, friends! 
Peace be with you!

Today's Affirmation

I am reading many different affirmations, and even teaching a class this April called Power Affirmations at the library.  But I can't help but want to share some of these with you along with some secrets to making them work.

There are a great deal of affirmations out there for manifesting money but what if you're in need of a specific amount of money?  This affirmation is thanks to Florence Scovel Shinn:

Infinite Spirit, I give thanks that ____ dollars, which is mine by divine right, is now released and reaches me in divine order.

Never EVER fear asking for money.  Nor should you beg or beseech as that shows a lack of faith that you are 1. deserving of it, and 2. that God exists within you.  Most people have trouble asking for money as they think it is not something they are allowed to ask for, that they must convince God or some divine being that they are deserving of it.  They try to make "deals" or bargains in an effort to make themselves look better in the eyes of God.  But not once do they ever consider that God is within them MAKING THE REQUEST!  YES!  It is not "you" separate from "God" asking for this better situation, it IS the God within you that asks!  So, go ahead and call it forth from your own divine creation center.  It is you that must give yourself permission to make it manifest.  And it is only ever you that stands in your way.  God, or the Divine Source, is only waiting for you to tell it what you want.  The Universe is always waiting at your beck and call.  Never again doubt that you are deserving of anything you ask for, as it always a request from the divine source within you.

It's all about Perception!

One of the greatest lessons I'm learning is about the problem of perception.  Many of us have people in our lives who are difficult.  We log onto FB and complain about so-and-so and bitch and bitch and bitch to our hearts content.  BUT, does that actually change anything?  No.  Does it make us feel better?  For a little while.  Of course we like having our friends and family take our sides in any situation.  But the problem is, for all the people in the world who might agree with you, who might say, "YES, we agree!  He/She is a total ass and you are in the right!" it STILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE PROBLEM!!! 

So, ask yourself this, am I ready to change this situation or do I want to continue to sit on my pity pot and moan? 

If you are ready to create a change the very first thing you must do is change yourself.  There is no way around this.  You can try to force a change upon someone (whether you love them or hate them) and you will go blue in the face holding your breath.  There is no way to change another person!  NONE!  ...but...

If you can learn to change yourself, your perception of so-and-so, how you respond and react to their continued behaviors, (get this!) THEY CAN'T HELP BUT CHANGE!!!

Yes, the secret to changing all of your relationships is to first change how you see it.  Really!  Think about it.  If you approach someone in anger, trying to force your will upon them, do you really think they're just going to bow down to you and say "Oh, yes, you are absolutely right!  I am wrong.  I will do it your way."?  Not likely.  I know damned well I wouldn't!
But, if you can look at this person and see them as (and I KNOW you're not going to like this!) a Divine soul with every right to live their experience in their way, and (sorry again!) BLESS them instead of curse them, they will not be able to resist.  Why?

Well, when you are at peace with another your vibrating at a higher level.  When you are angry and hurtful you are vibrating at a lower level.  The other person will only match your vibration.  You can't ever expect them to respond at a higher vibration than you are willing to give out... unless, of course, they were a Saint!
But once you raise your vibration they have to raise theirs in order to meet you at your level.  They can not continue to fight and argue if you are litterally above fighting and arguing!  So where are you in this?  How are you vibrating?  Are you giving off anger or acceptance? 

There is a very simple way to overcome your own lower vibes.  Simply state, over and over, "I salute the Divinity in you."  And, mean it!  This is not giving them permission to walk all over you, nor does it say you allow them to treat you ill, it simply means, I see the Divine in you and I respect your higher self.  It will help them to rise to their own higher vibrations.  Sometimes it's hard to see our way to our own higher thoughts when someone keeps pulling us back down into our earthy minds and limited thinking.  When you rise above, they rise above.  But you've got to go first. 

There are so many people I know who would benefit from this if they chose to use it.  How others treat us, from bosses, to fellow employees, to neighbors, friends and loved ones, all can benefit from a change in how you see them.  It's all about perception. 

Coming to...

It seems we are all experiencing an awakening of some sort.  For some of us it comes easily, naturally, as if floating down a river.  And for some of us it comes in bits and pieces, some that are not easily swallowed.  On my particular journey I've experienced both rides and I admit that I am living in a world that is completely new to me yet it was there all along.  Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees!

But in this new world I am finding such essential truths that I can't help but want to share them with everyone!  "Oh, wouldn't that just help so-and-so?"  And, "I know blankety-blank would find this useful in her situation!"  But the problem here is, once again, we are all taking this journey at our own rate and who am I to try to speed others along?  But I feel like I'm biting my tongue by not sharing my wonderous discoveries!  So, to ease my sore tongue and offer an opportunity for those who are ready and willing to further their existential journey I decided to try a blog.  If you want to learn it, learn it together with me.  If you don't, just go back to your Facebook page and your Farmville and ignore me.  I'll still be here and the knowledge will still be out there when you are ready for something more... when you are ready to awaken.
