Dear Readers,
Money, money, money. In this issue of The Circadian Collective we are talking about money. In this heartfelt and sincere question we explore right relationship to wealth and why it matters.
Let’s dive in….
Question
Dear Sylvia,
I have a question about opening oneself to attracting more money, financial prosperity & wealth.
Despite living an extremely abundant and beautiful life I love, I recognize that I am resistant to having the financial prosperity that my family and I desire to manifest our dream vision.
I have a belief that acquiring an abundance of money changes people in a negative way. In a way, greed consumes them. I know it would serve my desire (to have more money) to let go of this belief, however I just continually see examples of this being true.
In big, & subtle ways.
I witness people compromising what is in true alignment and integrity or what is morally good in order to make more money.
I witness people betraying or losing relationships in the quest for more money.
I witness people lose touch with many things I value to be the most important aspects of life.
I witness people in many ways valuing money over all else.
My question is: How do I release my resistance to attracting financial prosperity in my life when I see this to be true? I know it is possible to be wealthy, morally courageous, in integrity, grounded & good as I do see a couple examples in my life, but I absolutely experience these to be a rarity, not the rule. I am so grateful for who my family and I have become and the immense blessings and support that is present in our lives. How do we stay grounded, authentic and pure while opening to the financial wealth we desire?
Answer
There is a great quote that comes to mind when I read your question. “People only care about two things. The first thing is money, and I can’t remember the second.”
You are correct in your observations. We live in a culture that believes money is worthy of worship. We see it as our protector, our enabler, our power, and even our purpose. As someone who had a vision many years ago to bring consciousness to capital, I have been woefully sobered in how difficult it is to actually wake money up. I can think of a thousand moments over my human lifetime where I have made money my god and made terrible decisions as a result.
If it is hard for me to wake up my relationship to money, I know I am not alone in my struggle. I believe that waking up our relationship to money is one of the great if not most important spiritual challenges of our time. Let’s all take a breath, together, in this moment and ask ourselves: “What have I betrayed in the name of money?” “Who have I betrayed in the name of money?”
Let there be no shame in this inquiry. This is a collective question and one we can all answer together. You are correct in your witnessing, but not correct in your judgement. Let’s dive deeper together and see why.
One of the most profound visions I have ever had in a ceremony was around money. In that vision, I was lifted high up into an astral realm to a celestial temple. In that temple, I saw ascended beings praying together into the frequency of money. For a brief moment, I peeked into the future of money. What it looked like—in the future—is a powerful vehicle to spread abundance and prosperity across nations. It looked like one day, we might actually evolve past the scarcity and fear we all hold with money and return to a responsibility for the collective and create ways for the collective to earn, to receive, to grow.
Money is just energy, and money is not separate from the divine. However, today, it is saturated and overwhelmed by our current state of consciousness which is: MORE MORE MORE. Always more. Relentless voracious hunger for more. Money as a neutral force is simply absorbing what the collective is projecting onto it. And so, money in its current state can create havoc because the MORE havoc is in our current state of mind.
There is a remedy for this. It is called the frequency of ENOUGH.
Enough is one of the great secrets of the universe. What does it mean, enough? It is the state you are in when you say, “living an extremely abundant and beautiful life I love.” Enough is happy with a peanut butter sandwich sitting by the side of a lake, happy with a ten course meal served by a Michelin starred chef, happy with whatever is in front of you no matter what it looks like. Enough is always enough. It is a decision. I have enough. I am enough. It is enough.
In fact, if you look back at your entire life, truly. You have always had enough, no matter who you are. Right now, we are dominated by a lot of input that is telling us we need more. The counterforce to heal this is the prayer, “I have enough.”
The judgement you are holding is just a remnant of some past conditioning you carry. There is a difference between judgement and discernment. Judgement says, “I am right and they are wrong.” Discernment says, “This is for me and that is not.” You already know this deep down inside which is why you are asking the question. You know that releasing the judgement is important but you are having a hard time because you want to hold people accountable for the ways in which their wealth is destructive. Let that go. It’s not your fight, and it drains you of essential life force you need to continue to create the beautiful life you love. I invite you to put your judgement on the altar in your home and leave it there for god to take care of.
Going deeper into this question, I have a blessing for you. You are one of the great keepers of truth, purity, and earth. You are a steward by nature. A steward of all that which is given to you now and all that will come to you as the decades of your life unfold. There is much abundance ahead as you are a worthy and precious steward, trustworthy. By putting the judgement on the altar and never picking it back up, you increase the level at which the divine can continue to bring more and more into your safe arms for stewardship.
We own nothing on this earth, we are all—all of us—only stewards.
