I’ve seen a lot of post the last couple of days about money. Get over it. If you don’t like money fine, but you’re also focusing on the fact that it’s a piece of paper and not what it represents. What it represents to me is an exchange, you could call it in energetic exchange, for what I do so that I can get things that other people do. I don’t expect the guy that fixes my car to help me with my personal problems, but if he has personal problems that I might be able to help him with and he can fix my Car that is not broken then what else can he do? Sure we could sit around and come up with a bartering laundry list or I could just say hey got 75 bucks because I need 75 bucks to pay for water because I like having hot water pumped into my house. It’s my choice not my mandate.
So that’s one treatment of money. We don’t need to over highly spiritual eyes money to the point where the simple fact of holding it in our hand makes us buying into the system, rather it makes us able to move with Grace within the system while still being who we are. But not for everybody of course. Then the other money conversation is about being broke. If your AIM around money is so that you’re not broke then you’re thinking about being broke and, here we go again down the mindset line, you’re probably going to end up broke because you’re focused on being broke. Conversely, if your desire to get money is so that you can get your car fixed and the guy doesn’t need his personal problems addressed in a way that you might be able to help, a.k.a. myself in the example I used, then I might want to have some cash. Otherwise we can go to the laundry list of bartering things but blah blah blah. Got 50 bucks? Because the water department wants 50 bucks. I like water I don’t have a stream right by my house to go carry it back-and-forth every day and Frankly I don’t have the desire to boil a bunch of it to sit in to bathe. Follow me here? It’s all about perspective and personal choice we each have our own. Our choice is 100% ours are perspective is ours but yet others might see it differently and we need to be able to except that as well if we expect them to except ours. So to sum it up, no pun intended, I’ve got no problem with having money in my pocket. I’ll just leave it right there until I decide to spend it. And I will spend it on what I choose. If anything, money is another poster on the bedroom wall of the victim. As in they don’t have enough because of somebody else. Or because they’re having it in French the pond them by some paradigm. If you don’t like it leave. I largely left but I still have cash in my pocket. Are use myself is an example not as a teaching tool, Though in a fact it does work that way it is not intended to be a doctrine. Do it your own way.

The moment when you are on a call with a professional (who might read this) talking about your professional self and they drop "in the moment".
I bit on that, and.... Boom. The conversation language changes immediately and communication flows freely. Massive upgrade arrives to find two like minds and the discussion continues at a completely different level. Talked about the dichotomy of substances and happiness. Spurred some thoughts... First off, I could have easily have missed this opportunity to grow by not acting on the intuitive hit (thanks John) to follow the notion this person might be more like me than we know yet. This speaks to something I will get back to, but first .... It is one thing to "run into people" at the farmer's market, or that shop where they sell the white sage, or where perhaps you go yoga or something like that. It is another, when you get a bank teller (happened) and a man like the one I just talked to, and will be speaking with again very soon, like today. Regardless of how long this has been coming, it certainly is easy to move/stay in this space with the right tools. Those are all found in you, and when you use them you never know what might happen. Because remember, it is, indeed, happening. But you have to give and receive to find this out there. Being of a positive mindset and doing nothing, by your definition, then what ARE you doing? What do you really even control beyond yourself? Nothing is the easy answer, it stacks up well with all kinds of spiritual spins, but in the end doing nothing is stagnation and a stagnate pond is nowhere anyone wants to swim. Someone I love to listen to said last night (in a recorded) video I was watching that being overly positive in the masculine was not going to get you fucked. He meant it like that too since he was talking Sacred Masculine, and he is right. There is no substance there. Nothing has no substance. Being happy is one thing, but a sense on accomplishment is only gained by moving forward. Take charge of yourself and engage the world to make it happy don't just sit on social media talking about happy you are. I talk about happy here all the time. But when I am not I am in sessions where that is not the case, and I have plenty of my own quirks at times too--we all do. Don't fake being happy, do be happy. Be sure you are actively trying to make this happy world we talk about happy-er. There are plenty of people I could have talked to on the phone today who are not happy. Look at it like this, perhaps you can make up for them by being happy and doing happy. However it is in your capacity, perhaps try to make another happy. Be there for the heart of another. See yourself in the heart of another. When you find kindred speaks celebrate that and validate the happiness by doing and just being. The happy man returns from the hunt with the kill for the boys at home. Sitting happy waiting for it to happen and you might miss the meal, the point in the call to really have a conversation, or whatever. You miss out on life. And if you identify as masculine, forget it, you are stacking the cards against yourself. How do you arrive at the point of a relationship where in your partner cannot meet you and perhaps its time to move?
On any level, but particularly any one or ones that simply are unavailable for whatever reason. After you have talked about it, after everything is clear, how do you weigh the pros and cons? The trick here is to know when you’re staying in the game to your own detriment. Or are you already and you’re just telling yourself that things are going to change when in fact they are not and it is clear. It’s a tough line to reach, to measure accurately in your own mind, when you look at the competing interests in your own mind. The good news is, that no matter what you do if it’s in your best interest then you’re going to be good. So how about that, whether or not the grind as it may become is bearable for the fruit it sometimes heals? When you ask yourself that you give yourself the answer and you know what that’s like. You say what you wanna hear and you’re both happy. This is where that masculine has to come out, regardless of how you identify, this is the point where you need to stand firm and make a call. The "master of time and space" needs to be just that. Just don’t call yourself. You already know the answer. Perhaps quiz the both of them and how they feel really. |
