0:12The title of this video is the hidden
0:15connection between money and spiritual
0:18beliefs.
0:20A man said to God, "What is a million
0:23years to you?" And God said, "It is a
0:27second."
0:28And the man then asked God, "What is a
0:31million dollars to you?" And God said,
0:34"It's a penny." And the man then said,
0:37"Please give me a penny."
0:40And God said, "Sure, give me a second."
0:44This humorous exchange between a person
0:46and God reflects one of the underlying
0:49views held in the mass consciousness
0:51concerning spirituality and money
0:54including it is external, it is elusive
0:58and immoral.
1:01So in this session I'm going to explore
1:05some of the world's views about money
1:08and I'll lead you through a
1:09consciousness shift on money. Now this
1:12is not to replace any other thing that
1:15you are doing like uh visualizations
1:18or uh affirmations or anything else that
1:22you might be doing.
1:24This is some information that might not
1:27be like anything you've ever heard
1:29before about money and abundance because
1:32it radically rocks some traditional
1:35positions.
1:37And I'm not going to be covering the
1:38usual positive thinking, visualization,
1:41and law of attraction formulas.
1:44I'm going to take you to a new level of
1:46understanding of the physical dimension.
1:48And in particular, it will transform
1:51your relationship with money.
1:55You see, money is a symbol of how we
1:57relate to the physical realm.
2:02When you resolve your relationship with
2:04money, you will have a greater
2:06understanding of all of your
2:07interactions in the physical realm.
2:10You'll come to understand the ancient
2:12saying, "As above, so below. As without
2:17so within."
2:20The overall key is to bring all of the
2:24levels of mastery, understanding, and
2:26realization that you experience in
2:28meditation
2:29into the physical realm.
2:32And you may have already noticed this
2:34doesn't always happen.
2:37The first key to understanding the
2:39problem most people have with money is
2:42seeing money as outside of themselves
2:45and outside of their control.
2:47And this is where they get pretty hung
2:49up.
2:51This is why there's fear around money
2:53because it is seen as something outside
2:55of you and out of control.
2:58So, at first you might think, well, how
3:01could it be anything else? Well, soon
3:03you're going to see.
3:05There's a feeling in many people that
3:08they don't understand money as if it's
3:11some kind of an unknown force that's
3:13controlling their life.
3:16And this creates an underlying
3:18helplessness about money that makes it a
3:21mystery outside of you over which you
3:25seem to have little control.
3:27And even when some people have money,
3:30there's often a fear that some unknown
3:32force will blindside them and take it
3:34away from them.
3:37could be unexpected accidents,
3:41necessary repairs, taxes, illnesses,
3:46unforeseen issues, investment losses,
3:49and all this is what generates fear
3:51around money.
3:53The whole entire physical dimension is
3:56sometimes perceived this way as being
3:58basically uncontrollable
4:00and almost everyone feels somewhat
4:03helpless in the face of what they
4:05perceive as outside forces and this is
4:08what drives people to try to gain more
4:10power and control through force.
4:14So the first key to understanding the
4:17problem that most people have with money
4:19is seeing money as outside of themselves
4:22and outside of their control.
4:26What you perceive outside of you is
4:28actually a mirror reflection of what is
4:31inside of you.
4:35So at this point I'm asking you to be
4:37open-minded about this idea.
4:40So to help you so that you're not so
4:42fixated on money being external,
4:45say these words to yourself.
4:48I am willing to surrender and release
4:50the need to believe that I am helpless
4:54in the face of outside forces.
4:59I am willing to surrender and release
5:02the need to believe that I am helpless
5:06in the face of outside forces.
5:13I am willing to surrender and release
5:15the need to believe abundance and money
5:18are outside of me.
5:26To have a more accurate view about
5:28money, you'll also want to bring an
5:31enlightened awareness of your higher
5:32self or soul into any limiting
5:36perception.
5:38So you want to invite the soul to merge
5:40and integrate into all of your
5:42perceptions and beliefs and conclusions
5:45about money, about it all being outside
5:47of you.
5:50So now follow these words and make them
5:53your own. I ask the full intelligence of
5:57my higher self and soul
6:00to deeply integrate into my beliefs that
6:03abundance and money are outside of me.
6:08I'll repeat that.
6:11I ask the full intelligence of my higher
6:14self and soul
6:17to deeply integrate into my beliefs that
6:21abundance and money are outside of me.
6:30Now, I would like to let this digest a
6:32bit because I'm going to continue, but I
6:36know this is a really big jump and
6:39therefore I want it to integrate.
6:43The power that you have in the subtle
6:46non-physical dimensions that you access
6:48through meditation and visualizations
6:52is that you know it's all in your
6:54consciousness.
6:56So you can visualize anything
6:59and therefore you have power and control
7:02in those realms.
7:04When you close your eyes to visualize or
7:07meditate, you can imagine just about
7:10anything. And what I'm suggesting to you
7:14is you want to perceive the physical
7:16universe this way also because it is a
7:20product of your internal world.
7:23And this is what that phrase as above so
7:26below is talking about.
7:30It may be a more dense dimension
7:33but it's just another frequency.
7:36The physical dimension seems to run by a
7:40different set of rules. But in reality
7:42it doesn't.
7:44So here again is a big key with regard
7:46to money.
7:48You must perceive the physical universe,
7:50including money,
7:53as much an aspect of your internal
7:55beliefs as the subtle realms are
7:58perceived to be in your meditations.
8:03If you understand and comprehend the
8:06depths of this, you'll have found a big
8:08key to mastery of the physical dimension
8:11and for that matter every other
8:13dimension.
8:15You probably don't realize how strongly
8:18you've made the physical dimension an
8:20exception to your life's experiences.
8:23You go into a meditation
8:26and you have a wonderful experience and
8:28then you open your eyes and you feel
8:30limited again.
8:33The reason for this is that when you
8:36open your eyes, you are perceiving
8:38through the five senses and they all
8:41tell you that things are different from
8:43the internal experience.
8:47Now listen carefully to the next
8:49sentence.
8:51The senses were designed to perceive the
8:54realms of illusion as if they are real
8:59so that a life can be constructed in the
9:02illusion.
9:07Your five senses were designed to
9:10perceive the realms of illusion as if
9:13they were real so that a life could be
9:16constructed in the illusion.
9:22Now follow me carefully with the
9:24following words. You don't need to
9:27repeat them, but follow them and be in
9:30agreement with them and make them your
9:31own.
9:33I ask the enlightened awareness of the
9:35soul to fully integrate that everything
9:39I perceive as being external
9:42is a reflection of my internal beliefs.
9:48And this is especially true about
9:50abundance and money.
9:54Anyone who is going to give you or bring
9:57you anything including money is a
10:00reflection of your subconscious beliefs.
10:05So everything is a reflection of your
10:08beliefs.
10:10But it is mostly the deep-seated
10:12unconscious beliefs that are at the
10:14cause.
10:16pain, struggle, suffering
10:21are also sometimes
10:24what many people think are being caused
10:26by external forces.
10:30And so everybody responds to them as if
10:33they were outside and beyond control.
10:38because it's all perceived as outside.
10:41Everyone is continually looking for
10:43solutions outside to fix it.
10:48Now, there's nothing wrong with doing
10:51that.
10:52It's perfectly okay to seek external
10:56solutions and treatments, but unless you
11:00also address the internal beliefs, the
11:03problem may only be temporarily
11:06resolved.
11:09Now, here's a problem.
11:12It's natural to be afraid to admit that
11:16pain and suffering might be coming from
11:19inside.
11:21There's something scary to the ego mind
11:25about admitting this realization.
11:30If it is coming from inside
11:34then this means that the ego mind is
11:38holding some kind of belief or program
11:41of some kind that somewhere along the
11:44line it made a mistake.
11:47So the ego mind interprets this as being
11:49bad or defective or not being good
11:52enough.
11:55Everyone
11:57feels
11:59much more comfortable
12:01if they can project the suffering to an
12:04external cause.
12:07In other words, you are just a victim of
12:11circumstances
12:13or maybe you have bad luck or you're at
12:16the mercy of the actions of nature or
12:19maybe another person.
12:23But if what a person is experiencing as
12:27suffering is actually being generated
12:30and held by something inside of them.
12:35This means to pull all the weight and
12:39put all of the burdens on the cause
12:41fully on them.
12:48But if what a person is experiencing as
12:51suffering is actually being generated
12:53and held by something inside of them,
12:56that seems to put all the weight and the
12:58burden of the cause fully on them. And
13:01that means everyone's creating their own
13:04pain. And who wants to possibly admit or
13:08believe that? Well, of course, nobody
13:11wants to admit that.
13:14So if the cause is internal that means
13:17you can't run away from it. You can't
13:20deny it and even if you try you can't
13:24pretend that it's not there.
13:29So over time it becomes a very important
13:33topic to be aware of
13:36and you need to alter this primal fear
13:41because it's a fear of perceiving
13:42everything as inside of you.
13:46So we need to go after the primal fear
13:49because it's a fear of perceiving that
13:52things are inside of you
13:56and that's what will enable you to deal
13:58with the underlying causes of the issues
14:00or conditions.
14:03Otherwise you're just going to struggle
14:04with a lot of external solutions and a
14:07lot of them don't work.
14:09With regard to money, we want to feel
14:12empowered
14:14rather than feeling like we're powerless
14:16in the face of it. And this comes by
14:19integrating the soul into it. And then
14:21we become the masters of it because
14:24money is just one other thing inside of
14:27your awareness.
14:30The second big key to healing your
14:32relationship with money is to come into
14:35acceptance.
14:38Now, this next statement will seem a
14:41little odd. It may even trigger some old
14:44beliefs about money being a root of
14:46evil, but I'm going to talk about it for
14:49a while so you can get the understanding
14:51and experience
14:53of this consciousness shift around
14:56money.
15:00Can you say, "I love abundance.
15:08Can you say that without a reaction or a
15:11conclusion or a contraction?
15:15Say it and feel how it feels. I love
15:19you. Abundance.
15:22How does this feel?
15:26I love you is an expression of
15:29acceptance of the abundance of the
15:31universe
15:33and it's an acknowledgment that the
15:36universe is ready and willing to give
15:38abundance to you.
15:40Now let's take this another step
15:42further.
15:44Speak directly to money and say I love
15:48you money.
15:53I accept your love.
16:06When you speak directly to money and
16:09say, "I love you, money, and I accept
16:12your love."
16:14How does that feel?
16:19Was there a slight twinge?
16:22When you say I love you money, it may
16:25trigger a collective consciousness which
16:28has an adversarial relationship with
16:30money which almost feels as though it's
16:33a tool of the devil and there is a
16:36twinge inside of you that makes it wrong
16:38to say I love money or I love you money.
16:45Consider this.
16:46How can you attract and bring into your
16:49life what you are repulsed by?
16:55I know it seems strange,
16:57but get comfortable with it. It's an
17:00expression of acceptance of the
17:02abundance of the whole universe.
17:04And the universe is ready and willing to
17:06give it to you whatever you want. And I
17:09know this sounds weird and sounds
17:11radical, but stop right now. Close your
17:14eyes and just try it and feel the
17:18internal shifts that you have when you
17:20do this. I love you money.
17:31I love you money and abundance.
17:39Say again. I love you money and
17:42abundance and I accept your love
17:48and then just feel
17:52when you really sink into the words
17:56it feels deeply right and good.
18:01I love you money.
18:05Money is an archetype
18:08and like the circulatory system of life
18:11on earth, it is creative and it wants to
18:15be in motion and because it's creative,
18:18it wants to create. It's a dynamic
18:21archetype and it wants to be used. It
18:24wants to be held and shared and spent
18:27and exchanged.
18:31It's so happy to be loved that when you
18:35connect with it in this way, you
18:37activate the archetype of receiving
18:39money and abundance. And it says, "I
18:42will find more ways to bring more money
18:44to you.
18:48Your relationship with money is no more
18:51than the aspects that you have imbued to
18:53the universe. And all the universe can
18:56ever do is mirror back to you. It wants
18:59to give back unless you block it from
19:01blocking you.
19:05It wants to give back unless you block
19:07it from giving to you the very things
19:09that you want because of all that you
19:12have that limit your beliefs. So follow
19:15the words and make them your own.
19:18I ask the consciousness of money to
19:22merge with my consciousness so there is
19:25only harmony.
19:32If you have created a separation of
19:34yourself from money and have an
19:37adversarial relationship with it for
19:39whatever reason, it would explain why
19:42you've had some problems with money. And
19:45in any case, the time has come to merge
19:48with it. Now, this is not to make it an
19:51obsession or activate greed or fixate on
19:54it or hoard it. It's part of the rhythm
19:57of life. It's like breathing in and out.
20:00Receive and give. Give and receive. It
20:04is so natural. It is light. It is right.
20:07It is part of the pulse of life on this
20:09planet.
20:11It's interesting how humans take
20:14something like money and put it in a
20:17whole separate category from everything
20:18else and they put endless stipulations
20:21on it.
20:23Some people seem to live in a bizarroal
20:25world where money is viewed as unnatural
20:29or maybe they think it's a tool of the
20:31devil that will take you over and bring
20:34you down.
20:37Money can bring so much goodness and yet
20:40the idea transmitted to us through some
20:42religious systems is there's something
20:45different and bad about money.
20:50Some religions imply money really isn't
20:52as good as a higher calling as there is
20:55if you have little money.
20:58Some would like you to believe that
21:00God's beloved poor is really the way to
21:04put God first in your life.
21:07The aesthetic life is sometimes regarded
21:10as most godly life and the closest to
21:14the most spiritual.
21:17So the less you have, the more you have
21:20a high ranking on God's scale.
21:25In the 8th to the 12th century, there
21:28were 84 monks who were regarded as some
21:30of the most enlightened people who had
21:32ever lived. And for the most part, they
21:35lived lives of denial, pain, suffering,
21:39aseticism.
21:42And they just might have been
21:43enlightened. I certainly don't judge
21:44them on that issue.
21:48But it's believed that if you were
21:51really spiritual
21:53and you were committed to being
21:55spiritual, you would have less.
21:59This is a view of money as deeply
22:04ingrained and accepted cross-culturally.
22:07In order to please God or reach God's
22:10people,
22:12you must have prolonged periods of lack
22:16or fasting or suffering or bury yourself
22:22in the jungles up to your neck or hit
22:25yourself with a whip or crawl on your
22:27knees to the temple
22:32or just have very few possessions.
22:35There's some in the east that go without
22:39clothing. They're completely naked and
22:41they think that is going to be the more
22:44spiritual state.
22:48So this concept puts everything upside
22:51down.
22:52There's a belief in the collective mass
22:54consciousness that material things can
22:57lead you away from God.
23:01And once you get the concept that the
23:03only thing that is real is love and be
23:06loved then and then you apply to money
23:10your relationship with money and the
23:12world and life will totally change.
23:17Now to some I know it sounds blasphemous
23:21the way people view it. Can you imagine
23:24how that statement I love you money
23:26sounds to a lot of people? It sounds
23:29like the epitome of greed
23:32and it would be regarded by a lot of
23:34people as some kind of a capital sin.
23:39But consider this. If you really deeply
23:42love somebody and they ask you for
23:44something, wouldn't you give them
23:46everything that they asked for?
23:49You'd give them anything if you really
23:52love them deeply. If they ask for it.
23:56Religion tells us God is a caring,
24:00merciful father or mother.
24:04And wouldn't any parent give their
24:07children just about anything that the
24:08children would ask for?
24:11And yet, religion turns this around and
24:14says, "God honors us the most if we have
24:18little or nothing."
24:21Isn't the view that God wants to give
24:24out of abundance a much more sensible,
24:27logical, rational approach
24:33and that is all we're really saying
24:34about money.
24:36If we are love and the universe is love
24:41and there's a pulse of creation, love
24:43and be loved,
24:45that also has to be true of the creation
24:48above money.
24:52Love defines the relationship that we
24:54should have with abundance and all of
24:57creation.
24:59When you love someone, you want to give
25:02them gifts.
25:03Money wants to do the same for you.
25:06Money says love is the natural flow of
25:09the universe and wants you to breathe
25:11that into a natural flow.
25:18Money can find you more easily when you
25:21love it and you open it to receive its
25:24gifts. This is certainly a lot better
25:27than being afraid of money. Don't you
25:29think?
25:31Because everything is in consciousness.
25:35Besides saying I love you money and
25:37saying that everything about money is
25:40internal,
25:42there is also the acknowledgment that
25:44money is coming to you in present time.
25:48So it's like a river a rigger river is
25:51flowing in water from upstream
25:54and just as surely as it's going to come
25:56downstream so is true when you're in in
26:01love with money.
26:03So the part of you that doesn't believe
26:05this is what creates the obstacles. The
26:09fact that it may not be in your physical
26:11possession at this moment makes it to
26:15some to seem like it's some kind of a
26:17fantasy. You're just making it up or
26:19pretending.
26:22Remember as above so below. It's an
26:24ancient saying.
26:26It's also another way of saying as
26:28within so without. So that everything we
26:31know about mastery and creation
26:34in all of the realms and all of the
26:36dimensions is true and as much true here
26:40in the physical realm.
26:44It's only doubt or a constriction or a
26:49contraction that you put on the manner
26:52in which something is going to come to
26:54you that makes it seem to be different.
26:59The experience is different because you
27:01believe it's different. You believe that
27:03the physical realm is a an exception to
27:07the rule, an exception to all the other
27:10realms and all the other dimensions.
27:14Of course, it is more dense.
27:16So things don't move quite as fast as
27:19you might like, but the principles all
27:21work the same.
27:25Like attracts like.
27:27What kind of energy are you putting out?
27:33You have to deeply embed the deepest
27:36truth that creation is simply creation
27:39and it's all the same, just different
27:42frequencies or rates of vibration.
27:45You are an architect
27:47of the creation and you build the
27:50creation with your beliefs.
27:54Now say these words and make them your
27:56own.
27:58I surrender all resistance to release
28:01any limits about money.
28:08I acknowledge my willingness to allow
28:11myself to receive money and abundance.
28:18I am open to receive what money is
28:21offering me.
28:27I am willing to surrender and release
28:30the need for obstacles to receiving
28:33money.
28:37I have an ability, power, and capacity
28:41to receive money, gifts, and abundance.
28:46I have an ability, power, and capacity
28:50to receive money, gifts, and abundance.
28:56I open myself to the energy of
28:59receiving.
29:03And now just notice
29:06is there any pulling back,
29:08any holding, gripping, hesitation,
29:12doubting, questioning.
29:17When you make requests and statements
29:19about receiving money,
29:22if your mind argues with these
29:24statements, just say, "Thank you for
29:27letting me know, and I surrender all
29:30need and release the need for you.
29:36Thank you for letting me know, and I
29:39surrender and release all need for you."
29:46The most helpful key to the process is
29:50sensing the feeling behind all the
29:52words.
29:54So keep this in mind as we continue.
29:57I acknowledge my power to receive.
30:04I believe in love and I'm willing to
30:07receive love
30:12money. I love you and I am open to be
30:15loved by money.
30:21I am willing to receive abundance.
30:28I am open and ready for the full power
30:32of receiving money.
30:37I deepen into my consciousness of
30:40receiving money.
30:46I am fully open to the full download of
30:49the consciousness of receiving money.
30:57I welcome receiving money.
31:02Now feel the words.
31:06There's kind of a blissful energy field
31:08about receiving money
31:11because money is love. Money is
31:14abundance. Money is part of the
31:17creation.
31:21Now inwardly say, I fully integrate
31:25receiving money throughout my body,
31:29mind, and being.
31:32I fully integrate receiving money
31:36throughout my body, mind, and being.
31:44And now ask yourself,
31:46how will I be feeling when abundant
31:49money is in my life?
31:53If it were fully in my life now, how
31:56would I be feeling?
32:05I am the manifestation and creation of
32:09the abundance of money automatically in
32:12my life.
32:20I am the manifestation and creation of
32:23the abundance of money
32:26automatically in my life.
32:36I feel and sense the support of the
32:39universe behind all of my intentions.
32:47Take your time. Allow yourself to
32:50integrate the transformations in
32:52consciousness
32:56and bring all of the feelings and
32:59realizations with you as you gradually
33:02bring yourself peacefully back to your
33:04full normal awareness.
33:07Bringing all the full expansion and
33:10light of abundance with you permanently
33:13changed.
33:16and open your eyes if they're closed and
33:19see all of the beauty and abundance
33:21around you
33:23and stretch out.
33:26May you receive beautiful gifts and a
33:29happy and abundant tomorrow. I'll see
33:32you the next time.
