Money in Perspective

January 21st, 2010 by jenniemarlow

“Money is simply an agreement you have with your culture that scraps of paper, bits of metal, and pieces of plastic can be exchanged for something you want. When people lose confidence in this agreement, money becomes what it really is, something that has no intrinsic value. Because money has no essence, Spirit cannot value money solely for its own sake. You can understand nothing about money until you understand this.”

— Spotted Eagle

Spotted Eagle asks us to take a hard look at our attitudes about money, and how much reliance we place upon it. This reliance makes us forget the reasons we want money, and what we unconsciously expect that having more of it will do for us.

If we have not mastered living in the flow, we may want a lot of money because we think it will take away all of our problems and still allow the thinking that created those problems to remain. We may be so focused on money that we forget the simple truth that resources come in countless forms.

Fundamental to the partnership between Sprit and money is essence, the feeling experience we expect to receive when we are enjoying both the process of gathering resources and what those resources provide. When we allow essence to guide our desires, we can put money into its proper perspective as one of many equally useful tools in creating the life of our dreams.
