Poverty
is a human miscreation, and it was never intended to be part of our Divine
Plan.
The distorted patterns of lack and limitation are an illusion that we
created and that
we are sustaining through our thoughts, words, feelings, actions and beliefs.
~ Patricia Diane Cota-Robles
The material
world is essential to our total unfolding. It is far easier to exist
when we have the financial means to provide for our comforts and
raise our children. This frees us to pursue our spiritual awareness
free of stress and poverty. But, with the state of world affairs,
wondering how we are to survive without a job, food and roof over
our head.
Human
relationship with the world is in part conditioned by how
we interpret it – as one principally of scarcity or
abundance. Material poverty is an unnatural state and is not
a requirement, but perhaps an option for spiritual growth.
What is necessary is a proper attitude toward the personal
material, emotional and mental life. Excessive material plane
orientation creates negative attachments out of fear of loss
whose mental patterns create circumstances that inhibit our
spiritual lives from flowering.
With the threat
of very real scarcity looming on the horizon – not just
in credit, but in arable land, fresh water and other species-
greed and fear of scarcity are in fact being created and amplified.
During this global economic turmoil we are asked to think
out of the box – to manifest new ways in living and
organizing our lives, otherwise the direct consequence is
to fight with each other in order to survive. Fighting is
never a solution, but an error in consciousness. The way into
a better future (individual or corporation) is to make past
ways of doing things obsolete. Being motivated solely by money
rather than by a higher view of how we soulfully fit into
humanity is moving into Obsolescence. Hence, the mind moves
into accordance with the heart!

Abundance
vs Poverty

An abundant thought
is that the Universe supports us when we are in creative flow.
Flow
moves by rays
of influence that come and go to support the evolutionary development
of all life. The planetary body and all life forms are under the
influence of the incoming seventh ray of consciousness. This is
a liberating energy which invites us to find our own personal truth
in every situation and then to positively uplift the environment
energetically by our thoughts, words and deeds. We are invited to
explore our passions and to expose our heartfelt impulses, which
are at one with the universe from the distortion of selfish perceived
desires and needs.
The seventh ray from an economic angle shows how humanities relationship
with money is changing. For instance, the energy offers new ways
of marketing that are placed upon the dissemination of ideas instead
of campaigning to raise money for a project. Money always flows
into avenues that are magnetic and vibrant, into ideas that carry
authenticity and consequently evokes a ready response from people’s
minds and hearts. We attract to us through magnetic appeal those
who can carry forward our work. In
order to make this possible we must first examine our attitudes
about our personal sense of responsibility in relationship to money
that flows through our hands. This will show us how we have contributed
to our present condition of consciousness—in abundance or
poverty.
Our beliefs about
money directly affect how we manage our money--whether we live above
or below our means. Managing our money, living within a budget and
even below our means, marks the difference between breaking free
of the financial stress and the cycle of debt and putting ourselves
to the grind to keep our heads above the financial downfall. Money
management allows us to live in peace and contentment and provides
the best way to stay above board during this global recession, while
money mismanagement makes us feel disheartened and discouraged because
we can’t meet our obligations and debt with no end in sight.
Finding balance between these extreme attitudes of having too much
or too little is vital to our serenity and oftentimes survival. |
Excessive debt is a spiritual as well
as a temporal trap, for it has great potential to damage or destroy
partnered relationships and lives. Too many people live on glamour
(shortcomings, blind spots, conditions that veil and hide the light
and impede our ability to see clearly) holding a sense of entitlement
that they should have whatever is in the NOW and smack the balance
on a credit card. I know people who actually have lived this way bankrupting
their very lives. After all the hoarding of possessions they are left
with nothing. Proper money management and living within our means
is essential in today’s contracted economy if we are to live
wisely, abundantly and happily. But, how do we manage money if our
attitudes reflect a poverty consciousness or sense of entitlement,
which is really the same thing from another angle of fear? |

Poverty
consciousness is the creation of unprosperous beliefs that dwell
deep within our unconscious mind. These beliefs actually shape the
world around us and add to the reasons why this attitude about money
is so widespread in the world. We live in an abundant universe and
yet we have thought it into one of poverty and pain. Like a systemic
infection it has created the Global economic wreckage destroying
the lives of many.
Images
of poverty are implanted into our conscious minds and then transferred
deep into our subconscious when we hear of people losing their jobs,
foreclosing on their homes, sick with no health insurance to pay
for treatment, cars being repossessed and with the hungry and homeless
rates increasing, we believe poverty to be real. Fear that it will
“happen to us” brings more poverty into reality because
strong emotional responses such as fear become the glue to attract
to us what we believe in our current and past life incarnations.
Poverty consciousness
exists by the
power of our collective thoughts, beliefs, words and actions creating
a vicious cycle that is self perpetuating. It runs
deep in our cellular memory, our inner archive of past remembrances
of struggles & underlying spiritual precepts, activating our
emotional bodies at the soul level. Because many people live on
emotions failing to balance them with logic, our own and others
beliefs are accepted without question and embraced as true.
In order to
master our reality we must control our two weakest bodies, the emotional
and mental bodies, which mean we are to control both our thoughts
and emotions. We do this by choosing what we think and how we feel
each moment. If we examine poverty without emotion we recognize
that it is the opposite of abundance. Both poverty and abundance
exist on the same spectrum, yet what differs between the two are
degrees in perspective and emotional response. The Law of Abundance
is a difficult Universal Law to fathom because when we are seeing
and experiencing the losses, it definitely feels real, however,
poverty is only real for the moment in which it exists.
Now we understand that we are the creators of our own reality and
that our beliefs and emotions are the cosmic glue for manifestation.
Energy is neutral; our minds create the images for manifestation.
So, what would each of us choose poverty or abundance? To choose
one means that we must let the other go. We can’t hang on.
We must monitor our thoughts and beliefs and then decide how willing
we are to let the negative ones go.
NOW is the time to remember who we are—to realize the power
within to ground Spirit into Matter, to assist Earth to move to
the fifth dimension--to be the Light and integrate spirituality
into everything on Earth. At the heart of empowerment is the concept
of manifesting all we need to live in peace and harmony. Empowerment
is always connected to the strong and those who take charge of their
lives and assist others to do the same, and is never associated
with victimhood mentality. We can challenge our old beliefs about
deserving money using logic to analyze our thoughts and change those
out of alignment with our new goals. To open up blockages we must
consciously give and receive to get the energies flowing. The more
we receive the more we can give.
The way we
live each moment of everyday determines our quality of life. Universal
Law supports abundance, happiness, peace and love to be shared by
all. |
