How many of you just clicked this title just because it said free? How many of you know what I do and clicked on it to see what I was giving away? Why? Why did you just do that? Now it would be good for you to make a list right now in why you clicked onto this particular title today. I'll explain what to do with that list at the end. LOL, no I'm not going to ask you to do anything rude with it.
Here we can begin to see and realize where in GREED we reside. Now I know a lot of you want to stop reading this right now just because I used the word greed. How dare I use that word just because you wanted something for free. Well, that's not what I'm saying here, it has nothing to do with you wanting it for free that makes you or anyone else greedy. How many times have you known people to give something away and they were the ones that were greedy? It happens. But that's why we need to talk about it so that we can balance the nasty stick that keeps slapping us all in the face.
All across American teachers are losing their jobs one reason being there's not enough money for them. Now riddle me this, how is it that we have enough money to build government buildings in almost every town in Texas, and continue to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to city officials that no one is looking into how they are spending the money? Why are we not looking into how these folks are using our taxed dollars to ensure that our youth are being educated?
Now many people think that teachers shouldn't get paid very much anyway because most of these people LOVE what they do. And you've probably heard teachers say, "I love teaching so much I'd do it for free." Well honey guess what, now's your chance.
You see everything we say, think and even feel manifest in order for the experience of our created speech. Some of us just refuse to say anything in hopes that this will make us safe. But oh no!!!! That's not true either because you have that little reptilian brain of yours making you fearful, pulling you down and causing you to hide away from the world instead of using the frontal portion of your reasoning mind. It is the front part of our brain that allows us the total experience of riding that scary roller coaster ride.
A girl friend of mine told me one day that she thought spiritual people should not get paid for what they do and felt they should give classes and readings away for free. So I asked her why did she think this and she replied, "Because it's a gift from God." Hum? Well as true as that is, so is the gift of teaching, the gift of music, the gift of cooking and the gift of just about anything that you do with ease.
But the truth is she is on to something and it is this, our gifts are those opportunities to exchange energy with others. When we use Gods energy to create a piece of art now an equal amount of energy should be exchanged for that piece of work. But many artist don't sell their works because they feel that it was so easy that they would be robbing people if they took the money. Now is this not insane? No one said that this exchange had to be hard. I have something you don't and you have something that I want. It's that easy. But when we EXCHANGE for it we are honoring the person with the talent and we are showing value.
Well when we show others value we are showing ourselves value. Many people who feel they don't need to pay folks in the spiritual realm of healing really don't honor themselves. HMLM teaches us that we are all one, there really is no one else out there. When we speak about honoring thy brother as thy self then you can begin to exchange this energy freely.
Now, just as it is greedy to not want to pay for services, it is just as greedy to NOT want to accept money for services rendered. I know, it seems confusing right? But it's not when you think about how it's just a different degree of greed, it's still greed. Let's put it this way for better understanding. You have just given a massage to a friend and the friend offers you money in exchange for the work just done. But you're feeling guilty because it's a friend and you want the friend to honor you. Hello, that friend can't honor you because you are not honoring yourself in the exchange. Once this rule is broken there is a bit of back-and-forth that will occur until it's brought back into balance by either letting the friend pay or by asking the friend to provide you with a service of equal exchange. And it will be your call on what is equal because you are the one providing the service and the one that needs to respect and honor yourself. Never leave that up for another person to decided. They are waiting for you to let them know how much you honor and respect yourself.
The situation is still the same if a friend comes in asking for services and is wanting all kinds of discounts, freebies and more just because you are friends. The friend does not honor themselves so they can't honor you, greed. And they sure as heck aren't honoring you because who does that in the real world? Who is going to go to a book store and say, "You know I'm not sure I really like this book so can I have it for half price?" No you can't have it for half price because they value their value.
So the person not wanting to take money is greedy and the person not willing to pay for services is greedy. One is not better than the other, they are both evil, Endless Veils Involving Lies. This is not allowing us to bring harmony into our lives regarding money. Which will continue to cause fear and panic about the stock markets, jobs and more. We have lost our ability to be creative because now we are out of harmony with grace.
Money is not evil, but the thoughts you attach to it can be. If you think that having x amount of dollars will make you happy and less greedy then think again. It will never have anything to do with a particular dollar amount. But it will have everything to do with how much fun you are having and how much you enjoy what you are doing. This my friends will be the new way of making money in the new world.
What will the new world look like when it comes to money? There will be plenty of it but no one will be robbing others for it, no one will be fighting for it, and no one will be counting how much they have in order to show how important they are, or how unimportant others are. There will always be plenty, it's when we've stopped creating abundance is when we know that we have lost our passion for life, living, and expansion.
If you are one of these folks sitting around talking about how bad people are for what they charge for services then maybe you aren't ready for what they have to offer you. But the first time you speak ill of them you are putting yourself in a situation that will be very difficult to get out of. You are putting yourself into your own experience.
If you are unwilling to pay people for their services it will be very difficult as the 2012 energy coming up to have people willing to pay you for your services. Now I said earlier that money will always be around, and this is true! Money is nothing more than energy. All things are of God, it's only how you view them that lets you know whether you are working from your shadow side or your higher mind.
The lower mind is truly nothing more than the reptilian brain that operates in the back of our head, the higher mind is the frontal cortex, the reasoning mind. The mind that knows that everything is going to be okay.
So if you are a person that doubts your abilities, doubts the world, doesn't trust and can't seem to get out there and get things done, it's because the reptilian brain is more dominate in you. The frontal cortex loves to succeed and it knows to do this that sometimes we have to fail. Failure is just another way to learn how to do something better next time. It has been through my many, many failures that I've been able to learn that I can do anything when I allow myself the space to do it and not listen to my reptilian brain tell me that I can't.
It's funny because when I'm told I can't do something my frontal cortex kicks in and starts solving the situation right away. So I guess you can say I've had lots of practice exercising my right to succeed. You can do it too, but not while you are thinking that everything should be handed to you on a silver platter. It's an equal energy exchange.
Okay so I asked you to make a list of the reasons you clicked onto this blog today. Now some of you read this blog everyday, if you do then write down how you felt when you saw FREE SERVICES. With each one of the statements put it back into the mirror and see how it is being reflected in your own life.
I'll give you an example, say for instance a thought came to your mind of, "Oh she must be having trouble getting in clients." No look at how you are having difficulties in your own life in getting clients, getting a job, or getting money.
Someone might have thought, "Wow, I'd love to get a service by her." Well again they need to see why they have been waiting until it said free. If it's because they think they can't afford it it's that reptilian brain keeping them in the darkness instead of in the light.
So have some fun with this one. The stock markets and all that other stuff on TV doesn't have anything to do with you but to allow you to see how you are living in the shadow of your life or in the light. I choose LIGHT.
Enjoy, Velvete
