Much of humanity is so focused on making money that it has lost sight of deeper and more meaningful purposes. Persons in or affiliated with traditional organizations are perhaps particularly adept at this focus on money, or, as many like to say, "the bottom line."

This is a time when you can more easily see the manifestations of your false beliefs. You are perhaps facing experiences that more easily teach you to tap into higher purposes and more empowering intention. You will surely get this teaching. Since I have entitled this article, "Money, Prosperity, Abundance," I want to define my terms. For me, each word connotes a different meaning and resonates to a different vibration.

The Meaning and Energy of Money, Prosperity, and Abundance

Money is a means of exchange, energy in the form of coins or wampum or reduced to paper as currency. Gold and silver have value -- both intrinsic and extrinsic -- but paper only represents value. The only power money has is the power we give it. Prosperity means flourishing and thriving. Most people tend to equate prosperity with good fortune and success and affluence, the material things of life. Abundance is an overflowing supply, fullness. The Infinite Source is your supply.

Energetically, money has the lowest vibration of these three. When fears surround money, the vibration moves to a still lower frequency. You can touch and see money. Many myths and cliches about money abound (root of all evil, growing on trees, rainy day, buying happiness, and more).

The energy of prosperity has more of a flow to it than money — listen to the word "prosperity" as you say it out loud and resonate to its vibration. You can feel similar resonance of the words that I used above to define prosperity, also.

Abundance resonates with words and ideas like joy, love, appreciation, and wisdom. Abundance is not really of this physical world, although you use it to manifest in the physical world. You cannot see abundance, you can only see manifestations of abundance. So, too, you cannot see love or joy or wisdom, but you can have feelings, pictures, and examples of the manifestations. All energy comes from Spirit. And Spirit is abundant, infinite, unlimited.

Creating Money, Prosperity and Abundance

When you focus your attention in the world of money, you tend to believe that the only way to generate more money is with money or something else that is tangible or physical. In other words, there is a belief that you can only create something "new" from something that is already created. This is a false belief. This is a belief that is coming to the surface for humanity right now as money and organizational systems are challenged.

When you live in the consciousness of abundance, you know that you can create more of everything from the Source. There is no fear in this consciousness. Consider how you feel when you are surrounded by the richness of nature, one of the physical world's manifestations of abundance. Ideas flow. Peace is present. You can more easily touch your own joy. You vibrate to abundance.

Releasing Fears and Resistance

Fears and resistance about money are strong in our society, especially now among certain people. Such thoughts and feelings are not necessarily in direct proportion to the quantity of money an individual or organization has. Those with considerable financial means often live with more fears and resistance about money than those with modest resources. The usual response to this phenomenon is, "Of course, because they have more to lose." But I say it goes deeper than that.

Fears and resistance about money are embedded deeply in our society because of the attention and feelings associated with it. Since I can see thought forms, I see how and where such dynamics are embedded. These dynamics permeate all aspects of society, and impact you even when you do not personally embrace the specific concept. These embedded dynamics disappear as you lift your vibration and consciousness to appreciate abundance.

Fears and resistance about money can be released by surrendering — often a tough concept for those who have been "successful" by society's standards. You can release fears and resistance by knowing that you are opening to wellness and abundance, rather than overcoming sickness and poverty. When you are overcoming sickness and poverty, you are still in the consciousness of sickness and poverty. You release by being attentive to your own growth process. You release by letting go. You release by no longer resisting.

Moving Forward

I know — both personally and energetically — many successful persons who are being challenged to move into and stay in their spiritual knowingness. Those who have been successful and prosperous in the world as it has been, must now shift their foundation so that they believe in the Source of their manifested physical things rather than the belief in the manifested physical things themselves. It is wonderful to enjoy the manifested physical things, but true joy comes from a deeper place inside.

In your own family or organization or other group, you might consider ways to discuss concepts of abundance and prosperity and togetherness and plenty and love. Here is a simple example: the word "downsizing" is an anti-abundance concept. It is also dehumanizing, by the way. Consider, also, that "doing more with less" is a mixed vibration — do you want "more" or "less"? Consider how you can promote more healthy concepts and clear messages.

The dichotomy of wealth and poverty is not merely an issue of distribution, but one of consciousness. It is time to move into a new paradigm, a paradigm that includes the awareness and acknowledgement of Spirit. Make the move consciously, joyfully, and abundantly. More than enough exists in this world that is constantly expanding.
