Somewhere along the line, we spiritual folks have been bathed, marinated and pickled in the belief that goodness, compassion and all the sought after virtues of living a spiritual life equal poverty.<\/p>\n
Yes, we spiritual folks have been indoctrinated in the belief that being good=being poor.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, there is also the modern day belief that IF you are aligned and spiritual you must be abundant, traveling the world, thin, with a fabulous home, gorgeous META man\/woman and a grand world-changing career!<\/p>\n
WOW. What pressure on both ends, RIGHT?<\/p>\n
BOTH are extremes.<\/p>\n
BOTH are reactions TO not a natural flow OF and WITH.<\/p>\n
We react to the evils of greed by saying \u201c I am GOOD therefore I AM NOT GOING AFTER MONEY.\u201d<\/p>\n
We react to the desire to compete by using every technique available to MANIFEST and bust our behinds to pursue a LIFESTYLE.<\/p>\n
When we leave these extremes behind\u00a0and ACCEPT, EMBRACE and BELIEVE\u00a0that the Universe is ABUNDANT and we can more than enough to live a full life ( different definitions for everyone) there is more of a flow.<\/p>\n
Feel into this for a moment\u2026<\/p>\n
I used to say:
\n\u201c I am spiritual. I don\u2019t need much. I focus on the inner and the Universe will bring me opportunities and such\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
When opportunities to be abundant came I took them and when I bumped into less than kind or loving, spiritual people I threw the baby along with the holy water out and ran for the hills!<\/p>\n
Now I say: “It is my birthright to be abundant. The Universe supports me in my mission and vision for my life. Abundance helps me travel, reach more people, allow for scholarships in my business and to help others that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n
I still do bump into people that lie about their careers, their agendas, might try to use you for their advancement and give nothing back, that have no or little integrity AND I won’t throw out the baby with the holy water this time!<\/p>\n
No, I will hold still to MY integrity and my FAITH. I will notice them but I will not run for the hills. I will step aside, love them from a distance and I will continue to SHINE.<\/p>\n
The world needs the truth speakers, the lovers, the healers, the sensitives that often get hurt and go hide from the darkness of the world.<\/p>\n
It’s ok. Don’t run. Stay strong. Be the LIGHT in the darkness. Be the LIGHTHOUSE that you were born to be AND attract your people who share your values.<\/p>\n
SO don\u2019t let \u201cbeing spiritual\u201d keep you poor OR hidden OR small.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s just BS to keep powerful light workers hidden like scared sheep. If each and everyone of us owned our ability to manifest and create our Soul gifts on Earth\u2026I KNOW that there would be more than ENOUGH for us to go around a couple of times over!<\/p>\n
At about 5 or 6, when I came to whine to my Argentine Mami about some trouble or injustice that had befallen me she would always stare at me with her dark eyes and say with a Spanish accent,
\n\u201cDon\u2019t breeng me problems. Breeng me SOLUTIONS.\u201d<\/p>\n
So my spiritual peeps let\u2019s come up with solutions, let\u2019s come up with abundance. Let\u2019s redefine paradigms that no longer serve.<\/p>\n
IF we stay bitching, complaining, small and blaming
\n\u201cthe MAN, the GOVERNMENT, our PARENTS, the WAR, etc\u201d well\u2026all we will create is a group of whiny warriors when if we took up our end of this manifestation and stepped into accountability for ourselves we could and ARE CHANGING THE WORLD.<\/p>\n
YES, we are CHANGING the world. Right here. Right now.
\nLet\u2019s break this belief that keeps many on their knees\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing Spiritual does not equal being poor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018nuff said. Peace and CRAZY ABUNDANCE Earth School playas!<\/p>\n
Love you,
