Releasing and attracting the energy of money
Life sometimes sows little seeds on our path. It's up to us to be awake to see them and make good use of them.
This is what happened to me just before I decided to write this new article.
For a while I had this inspiration that told me to write about money. And on the other hand I thought that it was a really boring subject, a really sensitive subject that could make a lot of people angry at me.
It's a subject that I think is complex, too complex to write an article about.
And then came this message from Florence who told me that her biggest problem was money because she only received a small pension and that she was blocked from improving her life because of this lack of financial means.
Florence would also like to have the symbols around her that could bring her financial comfort and allow her to face life more cheerfully.
Florence is not the only one in this situation.
Some people have problems with money, others with love or whatever.
What is clear to me is that we all have things to work on on this earth and that, in the end, it is the eye that we put on things, the concepts that we maintain, that determine the continuation of our personal history.
And so I said to myself, let's go ahead and try to sow some seeds of reflection. Let's try to open our eyes to a new way of seeing, of perceiving.
My life before Mandalashop
I think the main problem comes from our education and the concepts conveyed by society.
We've often been told that to succeed in life you have to study, have a good job and earn a good living.
OK, that's all great stuff. But does it make you happier? What is your purpose in life?
I'm going to tell you about my personal story.
I studied, a lot of studies, also by choice but also because the path was marked out.
I was an executive in industry. I earned a very good living and I really enjoyed it.
I loved my job. But there came a time when what I was doing, or how I was doing it, started to be out of step with my deepest aspirations. I had great inner turmoil. I knew where it was coming from but this stability, this comfort, this money was still difficult to leave.
I had already created Mandalashop for a few years and finally the fact of remaining hooked to this comfortable job prevented me from developing this activity which is part of my life mission.
It's a paradox: you know where you need to be and there are things that hold you back. I know people like that who have trouble taking the leap. I think the unknown is scary. It's normal, we all need to be reassured. But at some point you just have to know what is (most) important to you.
It could have taken years to take the plunge, but it was finally the arrival of our smurfette that turned the situation around. From that moment on, I didn't ask myself any more questions. I knew that what I was doing was right.
So, let's be clear, I didn't jump into the void without a parachute either!
We had already started to organize our lives so that it was possible.
But I left. Yes, I left, as they didn't want to fire me amicably, so I left, not resigned.
I know, nobody does that, but the Breton people have a rebellious temperament !!!!
With hindsight, I have never regretted my choice. On the contrary.
Today I live differently. I live my life according to my deepest convictions and I blossom with all these symbols of sacred geometry that we have the pleasure to propose to you.
And above all, I really realized something very important: that the wealth is inside each of us. And as I am aware of this richness, the fear of lacking or anything else disappears.
This is something I have learned and I think it is important to share with you. In fact, who cares what I did before? It doesn't matter. It's the journey that's important, and what you've learned from it.
Money is an energy, a force of concrete achievement.
Our education and society chain us to very limiting beliefs that make it difficult for us to achieve in life. This is what I deeply believe and what I have seen.
My goal here is not to convince you but just to bring my point of view.
To be honest, I think that even with the best will in the world, no one can fully understand what this energy of money is. The concepts around money are so strong, a bit like an imprisoning mesh.
So I think the best we can do is to try to understand what this energy is, to try to approach it while trying not to put any human concepts into it.
And to go further, I think that the work to heal this energy starts by freeing ourselves from all our beliefs about it. Because only a true look at money can heal and ennoble this energy and offer it a path of liberation.
The energy of money through history
Originally, only bartering allowed exchanges.
Throughout history and throughout the world all sorts of things have been used as money: pearls, cocoa beans, shells, salt, amber, ivory, stones, feathers, tobacco, etc.) Some things are adopted as money because they are portable, others because they have a decorative value and still others because they can be consumed. All of them are recognized as an acceptable means of exchange or as a way to settle debts.
This is how the ancestor of money was born, allowing the exchange between people using a "for value" accepted and recognized as such by a community.
Money is above all a vector of exchange between men.
If you are interested in the history of money, I have put several links at the bottom of the page.
Money and its link with the divine
While researching the subject, I found this fascinating article which I am transcribing as is (see sources at the bottom of the page). It sheds incredible light on how this energy of money has been hijacked throughout history.
In July 1977 on France Culture, in a "Matinée de l'inactuel", the writer, philosopher and historian of religions Elémire Zolla, through historical, mythological and literary references, demonstrated the fiduciary foundation of money, allowing to better understand this notion of faith in money, initially linked to the divine.
Elémire Zolla (1926-2002), was an Italian writer, philosopher and historian of religions. He was a connoisseur of esoteric doctrines and mysticism.
"The strength of gold is not visible gold", the writer Elémire Zolla began by reminding us at the beginning of the programme: "As Dante says in 'The Banquet', the material must be well arranged so that the form of the gold can be impressed upon it. One has only to arrange the matter of the human imagination well for it to imprint the form of money on anything."
"Money would be worthless if bankers did not have access to the imagination of the masses."
In this program, Elémire Zolla asked his listener to make an effort of imagination to illustrate the abstraction of the concept of value: "Imagine that the works of art are all returned to the expert who has recognized them as such, and the market ceases to exist. But we create a market by pretending that it exists. It is enough for a few people to declare that they have faith in anything that gives it the value of money, and faith produces faith; and anything becomes money.
It works the same way concerning banks, and has since antiquity, the first banks having been temples (the first bankers were probably Greek priests of Delphi, Ephesus...) as Elémire Zolla pointed out:
Banks have a wealth based exclusively on the credit they generate, on the reverence for the bank, and economically it depends on the fact that there will be only a small percentage of customers who will withdraw the money from the bank. If one withdraws it, one makes the strange discovery that the bank does not have money, materially, but produces it
It is faith in the bank that makes them produce money, so money is made of faith and it is natural that it bears the emblems of faith: the face of the god, the tribe of the god.
Money and its link with the divine
"The common man will never be able to grasp the mystery of money because he does not believe in the absolute power of faith," the writer once said on France Culture; the paradox being that the invention of the money of exchange was dependent on this key notion of belief, and that the initial substratum of money is... divine, cosmic:
We see that the banks of ancient Mesopotamia, the priestly brotherhoods, had established the relationship between gold and silver according to the symbolism, that is, gold represents the Sun, and silver the Moon. Since the gold-Sun revolves around the Earth in 365 days, and the silver-Moon uses only 28 days, we divide 365 by 28 and we obtain 13.5. This is exactly the relationship between gold and silver in Mesopotamia
Value relationships were established according to cosmic rules. They were to symbolize the rhythm of heaven.
Moreover, for the writer, it was not insignificant that the first ancient coins always bore the symbol or the representation of the god of the city:
In Rome on the Capitol, near the temple of Jupiter, stood the temple of Juno Moneta. Perhaps because the first Roman currency, copper, represented femininity, gave light to other metals. Moneta, translates into Greek as "Mnemosyne", "memory", meaning that the coin is the memory of something. Mnemosyne was the mother of the Muses. Geese were the sacred animals of Juno Moneta.
The goose, as the personification of the fiduciary value
We find in several mythological systems the goose as an animal that represents money, value," explained Elémire Zolla, for whom the story of the geese of the capitol illustrates an attempt by the Gauls to overturn the value of Roman money. These palmipeds were also found in the sacred lakes of Delos, the island of Greek banks:
According to the Egyptian text 'The Book of Wisdom of Amenemope', geese can live on land, in water and in the air. They therefore represent an element that circulates everywhere. This is the fundamental character of money, that is, its ability to circulate everywhere.
According to the writer, the presence of this animal in tales and fables often reminds us of the fiduciary dimension of money:
We can explain the financial meaning of the tale of Queen Pedauque, that is to say "goose foot", and also of Mother Goose. The Indian version tells us that a greedy woman had a goose with golden feathers. She decided to pluck them all, discovered that she got nothing... and the goose was dead. In other versions, the goose does not offer feathers, but gives golden eggs. Its master decides to kill it because he believes that he will reach the very source of wealth. These are pretty clear allegories of the nature of banking.
Native American tribes: the example of talismans as currency
A connoisseur of mysticism, Elémire Zolla used the example of the birth of money in the Amerindian tribes, the first occupants of the American continent. He began by recalling that for the Amerindians, the ultimate value was vision:
One is a man insofar as one has had a vision, and to obtain it one is willing to sacrifice everything: one withdraws into solitude, abstains from food, and inflicts pain upon oneself until the angel's visitation occurs. [...] The angel, in the form of a beast, or thunder, or cloud, gives a secret song that can be sung to put oneself in the soulful disposition of one who looks upon mortal danger with perfect calm.
In order for the spirits to manifest themselves to them, or simply to be able to obtain talismans, considered as a material trace of what was happening in the Beyond, they were ready to sacrifice many goods, explained Elémire Zolla, which gave rise to the invention of a currency of exchange. This phenomenon is a perfect illustration of the notion of "fiduciary" value. The symbolic value of the talisman is bought at a high price, because people believe in it:
These objects can be sold, given in exchange. The currency comes into being when a temple provides these talismans in series... [...] In and of themselves, these talismans have no value, but they represent a value in and of themselves. The currency is the talisman. In German, money is "geld", it is the same root that gives the word meaning the divine sacrifice, or the brotherhood, the guild, the priestly brotherhood. This etymology shows the nexus between talisman and money.
Today, if our financial system is still based on faith, the divine no longer seems to have any real place in money. The effigies on coins and banknotes now mainly celebrate European architecture. Yet, if you reach into your wallet and look closely at the silver watermarks on the right-hand side - which serve to increase the level of security - you will see the face of a surviving deity: that of Europa, modeled on an ancient ceramic vessel from the fourth century B.C.
Words of Peter Deunov
I give you these words as an essence of meditation:
"Men use their thoughts very much, and perhaps they give too much importance to this faculty. They work out a strategy, a plan, they create worlds, they search, they analyse, they sharpen their understanding of things, but often they forget the essential: that above all, what they hope to meet and experience must exist in a higher world before it can be manifested in their earthly life
It is the invisible worlds that govern the visible worlds and it is in these subtler worlds that one must learn to live and give birth before one can master and bring forth anything on earth
Don't think that to make a work you need external conditions, means, tools... Of course it is important, but it is not what is essential
Whoever thinks that he needs a whole world outside of himself to make a work will only waste his time and clutter his life. He will accumulate and accumulate and when he sits down to start his work, he will find that nothing comes to inspire him and that it does not happen as he had planned and imagined. Nothing falls into place and he discovers that it is much more complicated and that his plans were too theoretical."
Money and trade
Money is an intelligence, a subtle force coming from a higher world. It can be considered as an energy of love that comes to organize in matter the values of sharing, generosity, abundance, wealth
Originally, a subtle alliance had been sealed between man and this energy. It could reveal to man certain secrets of the mysteries to master matter and create wealth on earth. In return, man had to offer his devotion, love and respect to it, to nature, and to manifest it in all his exchanges
If we look at the philosophical and real history of the human race, we can see that originally the currency, the money appeared in the temples. All life was then built around the temples and money was given to support the priests, who brought protection and blessing
The tax was to honor a higher world. All the sacred texts say that it is due to God. Everything was protected by the existence of the Gods, who were honored
It was the Gods who allowed prosperity, happiness, abundance. Men engraved gods in stone through statues and on coins, like Apollo. The Olympic games in Greece were made only to finance the priests and the temples
Money carried a noble concept. It was the means to materialize exchanges and to live together in family, in community, in sharing
Money was made to circulate, to materialize the circulation and exchanges between beings, but in respect; it was not made to degrade
This energy has been degraded, and it is now in pain.
To free oneself from fear
I come back a little to my personal experience, but this energy does not want to be locked in fear, in blockage. It wants to circulate freely, to water, to prosper, to multiply, and like the river, to become a river, a sea, an ocean of creative energy..
This energy of money likes us to be confident, serene, putting our lives in the hands of a higher world and accomplishing its works, letting life flow in intelligence
You will tell me that this is easier said than done.
The important thing is to start moving forward. Maybe it will take you years, maybe a lifetime, maybe several lifetimes. We are all on a journey, each at his or her own pace.
We always attract to ourselves by resonance what corresponds to us.
This energy of money is a Divinity of the creative force. This original Divinity carries certain virtues within itself and seeks the same within man in order to communicate with him. When, by way of affinity, the diapason is established, it multiplies everything that exists, it amplifies it. This Divinity loves the freedom to undertake, creativity, ingenuity, love of good, honesty and especially the absence of fear.
And somehow, to free yourself from fear is also to free yourself from concepts.
I invite you to read or re-read my article How to free yourself from inner blockages
In the end, what is beautiful is when fear is transformed and gives way to love, trust, and when a space of serenity can grow within oneself
The energy of money runs away from fear, but it also runs away from debt. This spirit hates debt. There must be no debt. A debt is like nothingness to him, it makes him run away and enslaves him. He who creates debts is not in tune with God.
Whether it is the Muslims with the Koran, the Jews with the Torah, the Christians with the Gospels, all agree on this point: there must be no debt and never lend money with interest. There must be no inflation, but always give value to things and beings. Who can estimate the value, who can tell the value of an eye, who can tell the value of a child, who can tell the value of a thought? This belongs to the greatness, to the immensity
And you can see that today in our "modern" world we do everything so that men and women take out loans, so that they become owners of loans (yes, because in fact we are not owners of a house but of a loan!).
Our outer life is a consequence of our inner life.
We always look for explanations on the outside because it's easier, but what if we went to the center of ourselves to see what's going on there?
I am convinced that we would find many answers to all the questions we ask ourselves!
And the treasure of treasures is really our inner life.
What is your relationship to money?
So here we are at the end of this article, a little longer than usual.
In life I am convinced that it is important to ask questions, the right questions. It allows us to move forward and make better and more informed decisions.
So here is what I invite you to do:
Take the time to observe your relationship with money in a neutral way, without judgment, in a spirit of awakening.
Observe your exchanges with the world around you, work, family. How do you consider money in your life?
Do you see money as just a means to live on earth?
If your view of money is transformed to see in it a Divinity, if you have respect for this being, the relationship with it can gradually heal and trust take more place in your life
I am aware that we have been very poorly educated on the subject and that it is sometimes difficult, even painful, to leave certain beliefs or educational methods.
And in the end you have to open up in an impersonal way to the reality of this energy of money, which sometimes seems so unattainable. And for that you can help yourself and concentrate on the magnificent mandala that represents it. Simply let yourself be imbued with its energy and ask the mandala to guide you, to show you how you can establish a connection in order to enter into an exchange with it.
Here is the word of wisdom associated with this mandala:
"Money should be put in its rightful place. Its importance should not be increased or decreased. It should not be used as a source of energy and capacity that has been put into each one for the destruction of the earth and humanity. On the contrary, money should be seen as the manifestation of a sacred energy that can, if well used, bring great benefits. It is everyone's responsibility to think, to reflect, to observe their concepts, their consciousness, their attitude, their behavior towards this energy in order to participate in projects and works that go in the direction of enriching Light, intelligence, peace, goodness, justice in all worlds."
I was really happy to propose this article. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
