Should we spend the rest of our lives fixing our beliefs because they’re wrong?


 

“Money, much like clay, is to be played with.
Like clay, you can learn how to create with it.
Like clay, you can make cool things with it.
It’s when we make money about ourselves that it gets messy.
That’s when we start feeling we are right about
something we feel is wrong with others, or with ourselves,
or with banks, or with the economy, and so on.

… Money is a big, fraught topic for most people because they think it’s what makes the world go round. Uh, by the way, it’s not. Magnetics makes the world go round, both figuratively and literally.

So, if that’s the case and we have beliefs about money (we all do), should we spend the rest of our lives fixing our beliefs because they’re wrong? I will depart from the answer I would typically give on this subject.

Why? Because the ideas about money in this world have such a stronghold on our reality that it takes a pure outlook on the subject, with no strings attached, for someone to let the past belief go and let abundance flow.

The first thing to address in the case of money is the idea that you would even spend time trying to fix what is not broken. Listen, you absolutely could be justified in some of your beliefs about money – or love, for that matter. You have evidence. Some pretty disconnected people are doing some pretty naughty and incongruent things with money.

But that’s not money’s fault. Remember, I started my university studies in accounting and then moved over to economics, so I understand what money is and does, and it’s simply a unit of exchange. Period. It doesn’t make you a better person, or more worthy, or smarter. It doesn’t give you more joy or greater fulfillment. I’ve worked with billionaires, and they have the same problems as everyone else; their problems just come with more zeroes.

Money, much like clay, is to be played with. Like clay, you can learn how to create with it. Like clay, you can make cool things with it. It’s when we make money about ourselves that it gets messy. That’s when we start feeling we are right about something we feel is wrong with others, or with ourselves, or with banks, or with the economy, and so on.

Many years ago, every December, during the holidays, my bank account would go down to almost nothing. I would get disturbed. Then I’d collect evidence for why that happened, as though somehow that would make it better. I discovered that you could either collect evidence for why something is happening – and therefore recreate that event in the future – or you can imagine, plan, and co-create anew to stay in step with Creation itself, which lives in total abundance … my response to this time of year became, “How can I be of service?”

Then, with a heart full of love and compassion, I would work at a food bank or a food line, and, miraculously, money would come in ways that I could never have imagined. It’s all about emotional frequency, my friend, without attachment to the outcome.

Have you ever said one of these statements?

“I’m not good with money.”
“I want to make sure I keep all my money safe.”
“People do bad things with money.”
“I have to guard money and control it.”
“Money comes, and it goes.”
“I have enough money, but never more than enough.”

If any of those statements sound like you, exchange the word “money” for “some kids” or “love.”

It doesn’t feel too good, does it? So, the subject of money will be a loaded one for most people, and therefore addressing the subject is not the first approach we want to take.

Being righteous about your wrongness (your limitations) will perpetually keep you in the same money experience. So, let’s approach it a wholly different way. Let’s look at abundance in general. I’ve already mentioned that you are abundant.

Here are some irrefutable facts:

  • You do not have to earn true abundance. Trees breathe out what you breathe in, and you did nothing to deserve that except being alive.
  • Your eyes are set up in such a way to interpret light and be delighted by sunsets of every different shade and brilliance. Again, you did not have to do anything to be worth the beauty of a sunset.
  • Your cells renew anywhere from once every three hours to once every seven years. Again, there’s nothing you have to do to make that happen. You have an abundance of new cells without even knowing about it.

Abundance is not your issue. Where you focus is the issue.

Everything that comes into your life enters because of your magnetics (what you focus on) and your frequency (the “goodness” of emotion you experience). In the case of money, if you know you have a lot of history and baggage on the subject, the best place to start is to find a different subject on which you can easily experience joy, creativity, and energy. Then, aside from making sure you have a plan to pay your bills, don’t focus on money, especially if you have perspectives that bring you down or make you worry about money. Instead, focus on other areas of life that lift you up, do things that inspire you, and fill your day with acknowledgments of your abundance (which may or may not be related to money) in ways that are easy for you.

Raise your vibration.

Wherever you last left your frequency on any subject will affect your ability to receive in that area. If you haven’t changed your relationship to that subject, it’s best to enjoy another aspect of your life in the meantime. Enjoying your life in one context absolutely opens doorways in others as long as you don’t bring your attention to subjects that you haven’t transcended yet (like money).”

With all my love,

Undistinguished ways of being…

Do you have unidentified embodied habits that drive the bus of your life?

Until we understand what it is to embody our way of operating in alignment with the laws of life, life is just a series of fix-it actions.

Embodied old, automatic operating systems disappear when the entire operating system is aligned with thriving. So, instead of fixing what doesn’t work, we actually come to a life frequency more aligned with how consciousness works. Those old patterns simply cannot exist anymore as they don’t match our new way of plugging into life.

A recent incident with my family is a great example. There are clues how to permanently get out of doing ‘the work’ of fixing our protective identities, or working so hard on repatterning.

Righteousness in yourself and others

Righteousness in yourself and others

Righteousness in yourself and others. What does that even really mean?

It’s all over the media and throughout the political spectrum and, as a result, it is probably prevalent in some of your social circles with friends and family.

Where does it come from? Why do we get that way? How do we define it? What frees us from the need to react to it or use righteousness?

The subject of righteousness has come up for me several times in the last couple of months. I was speaking with one of my clients and we could both see so many angles on righteousness. Sometimes I can get that way, but I catch myself because it really doesn’t feel good. It also isn’t an inclusive way of speaking, and blocks fluid shifts. If you are all about making fluid shifts … well, you know.

Why ‘doing what is presenting’ is so important

Why ‘doing what is presenting’ is so important

The following question was posted by Trudy, one of our Flight School graduates, in our Agents of Awakening Community and I felt it would assist to share my reply in this week’s inspiration in case you missed it, or you’ve not yet joined us there … (what are you waiting for?) 😉

Trudy’s Question: “When do you know to take the lead, knowing what you know, and observing unfolding events as a neutral party?”

The concept that is most important in answering this question well is ‘DOING WHAT PRESENTS’. It’s actually the most simple of concepts, and yet it’s foreign to us as we’re so prone to running around in unconscious survival mode. Kids, groceries, goals, oil changes, banking, relationship reactions, fears about the world or the country, and so on.
