Deserving Abundance
I’ve been on a clear path towards allowing more and more abundance into my life in the form of loving people, things and money. What walks with that part of me on my journey here on Earth is deserving. And part of my feeling deserving is that I earn my living doing what I love. It all seems to be very intricately tied together.
My husband generally is very in tune with my spiritual path and/or my “life is a school” experiences so it is quite natural that we bought him some new clothes over the weekend for him also. When he got dressed for work this morning he commented that he feels really prosperous in his new duds.
I’m learning that since the material force is a strong force when living a life on this planet being surrounded by things, those of us who tread a conscious spiritual path often say we want abundance but think someplace hidden inside us that things, money, wealth are not spiritual. We secretly think they represent the Golden Calf. And they bring up the old statement “money is the root of all evil.”
The actual phrase is “the love of money is the root of all evil” which I understand as putting money in front of our own needs or those of our fellows and that is the problem. If you love money so much that you will hurt another or hurt the Earth, then that’s a problem. Money is a representation for things and it is only a symbol whose purpose and meaning we assign.
Allowing abundance in the form of things requires being comfortable with and feeling deserving of those things.
One of the “angel” voices in my life right now is a daughter going through judging buying new things. I don’t agree. My buying of things doesn’t keep anything away from anyone else any more than breathing takes away anyone’s air.
We live on an abudant planet that is out of balance but not lacking in anything. And as I said before, we create our own economic paradigm and ours includes some new clothes for ourselves for Christmas.
Maybe our new clothes will create us more and more a vibrational match toward great wealth. Imagine how much good we could do for ourselves, our family and the world.

Maia,
I’ve off and on worked my way through my relationship with money and the material life. Someone once gave me a wonderful old book called “Money-Love” by Jerry Gillies. It’s great and works, if I’d only stick to it. However, a few months ago I wrote the following from stream of consciousness so I am sure it is not plagiarism yet not sure where it came from, embedded within me I guess, maybe from “Money-Love”. So, I want to share with you now:
Recognize that “money” flows into your life and “money” flows out of your life. Consider your relationship with “money”.
If you believe that “money” represents greed, then you yourself just may be greedy or in need of more “money”.
If “money” represents helping others, then you more than likely can help others with “money”.
If you believe “money” can make you happy, then you will enjoy expending “money” on yourself and others.
If you think you will never have enough “money”, then you will never have enough “money” and will always be searching for more “money”, even when it appears.
If you think certain others value “money” more than anything else, then you also value “money” more than anything else.
If you think of “money” as something you can take or leave and you‘ll still be okay anyway, then “money” will set you free.
Now,
Go back up to the very first sentence regarding “money” and every time you read the word “money” change it to “LOVE”.
I’m just saying….
Love, Brenda
