MessageInteresting concepts - both of them.
I used to believe that material wealth was truly a sin until I saw that to feed the poor, clothe the cold, house the homeless and to give them faith, health, hope in this world does require money. It truly does. And anyone who believes that not to be so is a fool. Look at society. Go down to the poorest part of your town and walk around, feel what it is like there, truly feel it. Feel the despair,the hurt, the confusion, feel, truly feel all that is there. Then go to a more affluent side of town and walk there, feel the air is different. Feel what it is like there. Feel the beauty, cleanliness, hope, knowledge, happiness. So what I have seen in all of this ... is that money in this world can help the eyes of the blind open, it can help the hearts of the hurt reopen. The trick is to use the money in the correct way. That my dear friend is the trick. And do one more thing. Meditate in a corner of the poorest side of town, in a corner full of piss and puke. Then go and meditate in a beautiful part of town with flowers and clean air and beautiful trees. Feel the difference. FEEL it. Now my belief is that everyone should be able to FEEL THAT. For in judging what is good for us, what is so positive if we only expereience the piss and puke, what really do we have to compare it with. And that my dear sir is what I am about. And everyone on this earth has a right to live in beautiful surroundings with clean air and comfortable surroundings and each of us is unique and each of us does best in each of our own settings for not all flowers bloom in pure sunlight, some like to bloom in the marshes it is true. But we should all have the opportunity to find out where our flower best blooms. And that dear sir, does take money. The trick is to do it right, the trick is to think it right. It is all about manifesting truth. And when you can do it the right way, heaven is on earth dear boy. That is the trick. If you want to muck around iwth the serpents then go ahead. Me .... I have my eyes on the sparrow, on the raven, on the hawks. They fly with ease. Try looking up a little. Inward more .... for they also fly in your heart. And I look to no one for my enlightenment ... what I require, what everyone requires is inside their own heart and not you nor anyone else on this earth has a right to judge that dear sir. No one. No judgement is required. Exchange of knowledge only. Me, I believe money is necessary int his world and I think that people who want others to remain under them or under some other power will say otherwise But money is part of the game of this earth and until you learn how to use it and manifest it like everything else on this planet you lose. Money is not needed if you live on a mountain in a warm country. Try living up north when it is minus 30 degrees farenheit and you don't have any boots, mitts, or heat. Then I htink your opinion may change on that.
Money is not bad, it is a tool. If the tool is not used properly just like everything else it can not be so good. But to call the tool evil and other tools of our society evil, .... to me.... maybe you should take your head out of those 1930 alchemy books and look outside. Sometimes knowledge takes money. Sad fact but it is a fact. Until peoples hearts open what is read can help. What is felt can help. It all helps.
Beautiful things do happen in the poorest of places, this is true, but a lot of beautiful things happen in beautiful places also and to think that they do not then you are just as one sided/biased as the bigots who beieve that the colour of a person decides their worth on this planet.
What is a shame and a waste is people who have millions of dollars, live in 20 room houses with 20 acres - 2 people. 10 cars. 500 pairs of shoes. Now that is a waste. Fill the house with people, give the cars to those who need them. Shoes to those who need them. YOu can only drive one car at a time, you can only wear one pair of shoes (okay you may need 3 or 4 for work, but really 500?)
These people who live like this, they are too me like the alchoholic, or drug addict. Unbalanced.
Same thing, different substance.
Also to work well with people who have not, who are hurting so bad .... to take refuge in beauty and comfort for a time is not bad. Not wrong at all.
I have a long way to go to be one of those even 10 pair of shoes people. But you know what I suffered long and hard thru my years and damn it I deserve good air, beautiful plants and trees and a warm home to share with my family and damn it all so does everyone else deserve their dreams. I listened to people like you for many years and I gave up my dreams. But what the hell for. This is what earth is for --- to live our dreams. Believe in our dreams. All the other crap is just that a bunch of crap. Which negative people like you and a whole load of others like to spew out for us to wallow in. Not me anymore buddy. I am walking on that shit from now on. My manisfestations are going to be a few vibrations higher than that crap. LIke energy attracts like energy. Wallow in shit and self pit and you are going to attract it. I mean why are you practising all of htis energy exercises for. LIke really. To create a life of suffering? Just stop it. Smile in your heart. Life is hard, heck I know that. Never easy. But to sit there and talk of sin and serpents and evil and being bad and material things are not good. Like where did you come from, some Spanish Inquisition or somehting. Time to grow. Use the shit for fertilizer. The shit is not the means to an end. It is only fertilizer.
Like I said, I used to think like you ... then one day I noticed how the buses in my city all have little hydraulic lifts for people in wheelchairs to get on and off the bus. Wow! YOu know 10 years we idd not have anything like that and really who thought of it. Who listened? Who built it? Who uses it? Think about that. What did it take to do that. Research that. You can talk about all these out there things but you know what makes the difference is someone who goes out there 9 to 5 and busts their ass. That is what makes the difference and the one who thought and helped with that hudraulic lift. That is what makes the difference. And the ones who started the Free Clinics for Addicts or Safehouses for the Lost Kids or even the filter for our gas in our vehicles for cleaner air. You can stick your head in the sand all you want but where life is, where it all is --- is with us all. All of us who struggle every day to provide for ourselves, our families and each other. That is where itis at. And if you give up -- what energetic shift does that create. Poeple talk of materialistic things being bad because they do not know anything else. Educate yourself. We are given lessons that maybe arenot sogreat an experience so that we know what we don't like. And we appreciate what we truly do like. I love my family, I love to give them things. I love to hlep others and I have even given myself to those with cancer knowing the energetic exchange was there and that is okay. Because it is what I wanted to do. But don't knock something you do not know aobut nor have expeirenced. Just don't. Sometimes we get so damn lazy that sitting ath ome in front of acomputer and bitching about all the things wrong in our lives is all we can muster. Okay fine. That is okay ... for a time. But after while, .... hey .. after awhile it is just an excuse. And to say all those little poem things and spriitual suicide with eastern philosophy. YOu know what. Eastern philosophy holds a lot of wisdowm, however so does Christianity, the Koran and you know what so did my Dad. So just don't knock it. This negativity crap ...... you guys practise energy and wrap yourselves in it so tightly and you miss the world. HELLOOOOOO. Wake up.
