The love of money...

Namasté!

Good afternoon,

My friends, this past weekend raised an interesting conversation. I was asked, "why is it that when ever I sit down to write out my checks to pay my bills, my stomach hurts and I just find other things to do to delay me from finishing my check writing?" I further asked, what do you believe is the concept behind money, what it is all about? Not a surprise to me I got the answer. I also in the past with other conversations and hearing people discuss money and finances heard the same thing. It is simply this belief and often very misquoted as, 'money is the root of all evil'. This quote is originated in the Bible, Timothy 6:10 (King James Version).

For the love of money is the root of all evil: Which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

As you can see, it states that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Not that money itself is evil. In fact, money is simply a means of exchange for services rendered and it is God/Spirit in action. There is no reason why money itself is evil or bad. It is our internal belief system that for whatever reasons we have, created or fearing. And then if we look at fear, this too is simply the lack of love. As we have all heard, FEAR is, False Evidence Appearing Real. So the evidence we have about money being evil is false making in our thoughts appearing real. I think when we have trouble dealing with financial issues in life for whatever reasons, its our beliefs which is stuck on the concept of having lack of or less than. Remember, we are infinite and spiritual beings who has everything already and is divinely ours by right of consciousness. We just have to train our thought system to accept it now and claim it as so. Before I realized this myself, I had similar beliefs and feelings whenever it came to dealing with my finances. There are however some things I do different now that you my friend may want to try. Whenever I sit down to pay my bills and evaluate my finances, whether it is writing checks or doing it over the internet. I create an atmosphere of bliss, connecting with Spirit. I put on some appropriate music, invite God/Spirit to be present and know it is done. I take each bill and realize it as a blessing. Say for instance a medical bill, I give thanks that I was able to find a means to get well or have the treatment needed in. Or a utility bill, having the means to electricity, gas or water to go about my daily business. As well as having the institutions granting me credit. ahead of time . And then lastly, I thank Spirit for the means to be able to pay it. I then seal the "deal" if you want to call it that, by writing in the memo, if writing a check, "Thank You God!" If mailing I stamp the envelope and kiss it as a final blessing. I have found that by doing this, it releases a hidden energy of gratitude that normally is a feeling of anger, resentment or depression otherwise. Know this dear one, as quoted by Ernest Holmes the founder of Religious Science, "There is power for good in the universe and you can use it. Change your mind and change your life." For you today, have a most blessed one.

In loving white light, my faith, love and magik...

Blessed be always,

TREATMENT / PRAYER

"There is one God, one Life and one Divine Intelligence that is everywhere at all times, being all things. I know God/Spirit wants nothing but happiness, prosperity and vibrant life for me now. I know life always seeks to nourish itself and expand. This nourishing, expanding intelligence is being me right now. It is everywhere and since it contains everything, it lacks absolutely nothing. It is complete prosperity, comprising everything there is in the universe. This very moment, this prosperity is giving my body breath, life and provides everything that I need, want and desire as soon as I open myself up to claim and receive it. I know that abundance on all levels is my inherent nature to enjoy and share freely, for my life is a creative expression of God/Spirit in action. I now welcome this prosperity into my life as a natural expression of the Divine that fills and flows through me. I am so grateful to God/Spirit for bringing this prosperity into my life this very moment as I speak these words. I now release this treatment/prayer and let it go, as I know that the Divine Source has heard and is nourishing all. And so it is."

"Whom we are chaged and fretted by small cares, a look, at the stars will show us the littleness of our own interests."
- Maria Mitchell

Small cares can present large problems, for they tend to obscure clear thinking. A look to the heavens, to the endless expanse of starry space at night, does plenty to dissolve the petty problems accumulated during the day.

To gaze at the stars and see our own life reflected therein; to be touched by light that has traveled innumerable miles, is to be both calmed and awed by the miracle of it all, the incredible improbability that the universe is, and we are of it.
