The Secret Key to Abundance and Prosperity?
Live your purpose and share your blessings
Prosperity
What is it?
Prosperity is different things to different people:
For the poor it is to have money.
For the weak it is to be strong and in control
For the lonely it is someone to love and be loved by.
For the sick it is to be healthy.
For the lost and confused it is to know and be wise.
The quest for prosperity speaks to our basic human needs. Where there is
a real or perceived lack in life, "prosperity" is that which fills its
place. "Prosperity" is relative from person to person (as the saying
goes "one mans trash is another mans treasure").
When we speak of prosperity, "money" is usually the first thought that
comes to mind, followed by all those things we believe it represents
(all those things we think it can buy) such as comfort, control,
freedom, security, sex, love, pleasure, power, prestige, and so on. Thus
it is natural that the quest for prosperity (be it in the form of money
or some other object of desire) takes hold of us on the most primal
level - the (reptilian) "ego-mind". I am not saying that desire and material
prosperity or the ego-mind is bad in itself: desire is a part
of our human nature, matter is the very substance of the universe, and
the ego-mind has kept us alive. The problem starts when we
develop an
ego attachment
to attaining any of these things (in this instance money) and are not willing to give or share the blessings. As our
physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual resources get more deeply
invested, they eventually get tied up... and under the control of the
ego-mind... held hostage. Since money symbolically represents the prime
key to attaining all our desires, the ego-mind gets fixated on its
attainment. This happens by degree, imperceptible at first, until like
someone finding themselves insidiously addicted to a drug, the fear of
its loss takes over and runs their life. The good news is that through
the healing work, we can release these attachments, which in turn frees
up a
tremendous
amount of stored energetic resources, all of which can potentially be
redirected towards living a normal life... or attaining a higher purpose - liberation
from the cycles of reincarnation and enlightenment.
You become what you identity and attached to.
What the ego-mind fixates on and thus what we invest our life energies
into (be it the pursuit of money, power, or anything of a material
nature) our consciousness becomes identified with and attached to and
thus weighted down by. When we can let the ballast of our attachments
go, our Spirit (like a balloon) is free to rise up into the Heavens.
"Blessed are the poor"
Spirit will flow into our life when we have made the space for it to do
so.
What is preventing or blocking us from experiencing this Spirit Filled
life?
Perhaps it stems from a deep seated fear and mistrust in the providence
of Spirit.
Perhaps our consciousness has become so focused on the pursuit of money
that we have become mentally trapped, emotionally enslaved and
energetically constipated. Whatever the reasons, with this healing work,
liberation from such limitations and the experience of a greater better
life is very possible.
By its very definition, the material dimension is congested,
contracted, dense and dark. To have ones consciousness solely focused on
this dimension (where the ego-mind holds sway) the default
emotional mental state would be set to fear limitation
scarcity and survival (contrary to sharing the blessings of gratitude love and
light).
"Prosperity" and "Abundance" is much more than just having lots of
money - it's about being aligned with "The Universal Flow" - "At One"
with the Source of All - God. If a person was at one with the universal
flow, energies in all its forms (including money) would freely, easily
and effortlessly come in ...and go out on every level. Like a clear
open channel, there would not be any holding on in the slightest degree.
There might not even be a desire to be outwardly "rich" in material
wealth, but rather, the soul would experience itself as spiritually
wealthy - feeling rich in wisdom, life, love and light, embracing the
very universe in hand and heart.
Grasping, attaching, holding on... are fear scarcity survival coping
mechanisms of the ego-mind, all of which creates stress, pain,
trauma, illness, and when taken to its final conclusion, death.
Conversely, letting go of such attachments and their limitations, we
merge into the One Source of life love and light... and the abundance of
the entire universe is ours.
"Blessed are those who give"
This is not just some empty saying but a very effective tool used to
release the death grip our ego-mind has in our lives... which
in turn helps liberate and increase our prosperity flow. It is essentially brought
about through the sharing or giving our of ones gifts or blessings, usually in one of two ways:
selfless service, called "Seva"
or the offering of money, called "Tithing".
"Tithing" (derived from the Latin for "tenth") is a time honored
tradition seen in just about every religion known to man because it
actually works! Any time one gives up something there are bound to be
"growing pains" (feelings of fear and discomfort), but if we wish
Spirit to enter and be present in our lives, we must create more space
for it within.
"Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven
and all shall be given to you"
"Store not your treasures where
rust doth corrupt"
Conventional wisdom holds that we should invest our time, energy and
money in the pursuit of wealth, position, power and pleasure, and in
that they say we will find fulfillment, happiness and security. But in
the grander scale of things, is that a wise use of our lives? If all
things in this world leave us, break down, change and or decay... from
the economy, society, government, friends, lovers and family, and of
course our very own bodies and minds... at the end of our lives when we
leave this world and meet our maker, what do we really have to show for
ourselves ?
I believe that a true long lasting happiness and peace is found by
following an "inner dream" greater than what this material temporal
world can provide. To achieve that end, I believe that re-investing our
time, energy and money towards spiritual development and healing is a
most wise investment in our eternal self.
Sacrifice
"to set aside or consecrate - to make
'Sacred'"
Some say that spiritual development and healing should be free, yet this
is not entirely true - some personal sacrifice has always been and
always will be required. Why is this so? To assure the greatest healing
possible on all levels, your personal will must be engaged and the
sincerity of your intentions challenged. If someone really wants to
receive healing, they must be willing to give something of value towards
that goal. It's one of those laws of the universe: you get what you
give, where you put your energy there is your heart.
People will not pay for something if they do not value it.
"In giving you receive"
Even if something was given to you freely, if you did not value it you
would not fully receive nor hold its gift, and its energy would leak out
like water through an open palm. In the case of healing, for it to be
most effective (to be received into the deepest parts of your being),
there must be a sacrifice - an exchange or return of something that has
value to you. In this day and age, this sacrifice usually takes on the
form of money.
All great journeys have required of the hero one great sacrifice or
another
(anyone who is on the healing journey is a hero in my book !).
In this age, money is the common token of exchange, yet at other times
and in other cultures it would have been anything of value.
When someone came to the shaman for healing, they made an offering of
their labor, animals, food, precious objects, even their own children
(don’t worry, I don’t want your pets or kids. lol).
In some religious circles, penitents scar or beat their own bodies
(called self
flagellation), American Indians do the
Sun
Dance, and Christians recreate the
crucifixion
!
In the ancient world, if a Hebrew broke or “transgressed” from the
“Law", they had to make a “sin” or "guilt" offering in the form of an
animal, bird or grain. When a penitent Catholic wished to be expunged of
their "sins", they would make a money or land offering to the Church.
Other offerings took the form of precious metals (the German word "geld"
- as in tribute, gold or money - and the English word "guilt" came from
the same source - geld in old German meant "sacrifice" and "vergeltung"
meant "revenge").
This "sin" or "guilt" offering is not exclusive to those of the
Judaeo-Christian religion or culture. In Saudi Arabia I witnessed two
brothers trying to gather "blood money" to pay off the family of someone
they killed in a traffic accident.
The common historic thread here is that the sacrifice of something one
considers precious is somehow needed in order to "atone" (be cleared) of
ones sins and be "At One" with God.
Jesus and the last blood sacrifice
A major tenant of the Christian faith is the belief that God gave up his
sons' life to "pay for our sins”. By giving up (sacrificing) his
physical body, Jesus certainly made the point that there are some things
worth dying for (love and eternal life for example). His sacrifice also
meant that the time of ritual “blood offerings” was at an end. Remember,
the Temples of that time were very bloody affairs, with the constant
sacrificing of animals, the acrid smell of burnt flesh in the air, smoke
billowing into the sky... not an atmosphere that would engender love and
forgiveness, but rather fear and trembling. The law of the land was “an
eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” (thieves had their hands cut off
and adulterers were stoned to death). But Jesus was all about love and
peace, not torture, killing or war. In his time I am sure he saw enough
of the later and said “No more !" certainly -NOT- in the name of God.
With that said, I don’t think Jesus meant we don’t make sacrifices for
those things we hold sacred and dear, it’s just that the old form it
took (sacrificing animals and an "eye for an eye") was no longer
required (we have evolved to more subtle forms of sacrifice).
Each Healer is Unique
As each soul is unique, so too does each healer have their own unique
ways of working.
I am not Jesus so please do not compare me or my methods to him. Some of
my ways may be similar, others may be different, but since we only know
Jesus second hand from stories written down in books 3 or 400 years
after his death, we will never really know what is true about the man.
We can only live in the present with what information we are given and
inspiration it brings.
Jesus lived in a different time and culture that had its own unique
demands and needs, very different than those of today. His disciples
went through many difficult sacrifices, some we can only imagine in our
worst dreams: they gave up their positions of power and wealth, traveled
to far off lands, endured physical hardships, horrific persecutions and
death. What I ask of you is
Not That
(nothing no where near close). Rather, something very clear, straight
forward and far easier to do – just receive the healing work. It’s that
simple. What else you feel guided in your heart you need and must do is
entirely your choice, but as far as I am concerned, doing the healing
work is enough. And beyond that, there are no secret agendas,
assignments, tricks, techniques, belief systems, memberships or hidden
fees required.
Even as we speak, there are many beings in spirit who are (anonymously
and invisibly) working on our behalf, pulling strings and making
miracles. There are Angels watching over us, Great Masters guiding us,
Soul Mates loving us, Spirits healing us... yet most times we haven’t
the slightest clue any of it is going on (and that’s ok). This is one of
the great mysteries of life... and it is happening to ALL of Us Right
Now !
In this very lifetime, we are blessed with the rare opportunity to
receive healing and spiritual blessings, where the only thing asked is
to simply pay for such services. Compared to times past, this doesn't
seem like too much to ask - that we demonstrate to Spirit our gratitude
and willingness to give back. This is what your "Love Offering"
"Donation" or "Tithing" is about.
My Task as Healer
I am here to help empty you out so you may be open to receive more of the Spirit
Abundance
I keep working on the manifesting end of things but I don't think I have
let go enough of my own limitations.
We can't
manifest the new if our personal space is full of old stuff we are
attached to
I need abundance. Do you have any suggestions?
There is an old saying: "you need
to spend money to make money". When you give, acting from faith and
trusting in the universal flow... you get back what you give (and then
some). This is the idea behind tithing - you have to "prime the pump"
each time you want things (money/energy/blessings) to flow (it's just
one of those universal laws). Traditionally, it's suggested to tithe
10% of ones earnings to a church with trust and faith that Spirit will
return the favor. What we (actually) do via this work is essentially
the same thing, though perhaps in a more direct and powerful way. If
you really want to experience what we mean, may we suggest you do an
experiment and commit your tithings to receive these healing sessions.
For many souls, poverty is a
serious master teacher. Being in a physical body, we have to ground
our intentions through a material tangible act that goes counter to
the ego-mind, and from the 2nd chakra, which coincidentally has to do
with an expenditure of energy or its symbolic equivalent - money. And
so on that level, a gesture of good will (tithing in one shape or
form) is required - we have to put our energy where our mouth is. This
indicates to our deepest inner selves (and to the Great Spirit) our
sincere willingness to change.
