Money is an illusion which was created to facilitate exchange economy. It has ended up promoting mistrust between people. This is now changing, and the consequences to monetary system will be mindblowing. A change of paradigm has begun, and what we see now, is merely a death struggle of the monetary system as we have learned to know it.
At the Roots of Mistrust
When you give something to another person, let it be goods or services of somekind, you direct your energy and/or resources to that person. Natural laws require balance between such energy change, and we energetically feel this whether we are on the giving or receiving side. This imbalance is actually an invitation from the universe to pass it forward; to follow the flow and do a good deed to another person in need. Mankind has replicated this energetic balancing of accounts in to a monetary system, where the accounts are balanced through money. Because of this illusion, the natural imbalance of energy is now misinterpreted as an obligation to pay back – i.e. a debt.
Mistrust between people derives from the doubt of people being unable or unwilling to balance these energies. We hesitate to do our part because we fear that others won’t do theirs. Before acting, we need guarantees, and money has offered a simple and practical solution to this. By placing our trust in money instead of people, we have created an energetic system that has power over our trust. It is a common misconception that this power is controlled by those who have money. People with money can only use it; the true power over peoples trust is with those who control the monetary system.
The Brilliance of Money
The reason why money works so well, is that it is so simple and universal. You just have to come up with a credible system that issues a limited amount of something. When enough people believe in your system, you create nominal value for that something, and it can be used as a means of exchange between people. You just place a value on your services and ask for a corresponding amount of money, crypto etc. The energy exchange is instant and there is no need to trust anything or anyone, but the monetary system. The power over that energy exchange, is not with the one holding the money, but with the one controlling the system. They make decisions over the one thing we have put our trust on; money.
The mistrust creates a need to be compensated right away after providing your service to another person. A natural way would be to provide this service, because you feel it’s the right thing to do and you like doing it. When acting from such place, it is easy to trust that the energy exchange will be balanced between you two in natural way over time. The universe works in mysterious ways, and you should not stare at the person you provided your service to; your gift from the universe might come from a different direction than where you placed yours. This is something the indiginous people understood, but the western society has totally separated itself from; payback is personal, and it’s the only way to feel compensated and trust that the accounts are truly balanced. However, getting compensated can only make us feel satisfied but never adundant, bountiful or blissful. Payback deprives us from these divine feelings.
If you value your service to € 50, you can ask for that amount of money and be happy with it. The other way would be to ask nothing and trust that you will get what you need later on. Maybe you will run into someone a week later (or a month, or six months or three years), and he/she offers you something from his/her heart to balance what you have done. And maybe what you are then offered is something you would value to € 500. Or could not even put a price tag on. A person balancing the energy might not be the one you think should balance the accounts. That’s why you should not wait for payback but keep your eyes open. Universe operates on the frequency of love and trust, unlike money. That also means that you will not run into this person if you first took the € 50.
Understanding the Illusion
When we don’t trust the universe we live in an illusion where money is power. This is simply not true. Money is not power. Money is merely a means of channeling energy from one place to another. It is the tireless slave of mistrust, and people are the consumers that keep this wheel of mistrust running. This is very convenient for some people, because whoever controls the monetary system, also controls when, where and how we can channel that energy. They are also able to observe how people use money and can then manipulate the system as they please.
As long as we keep on laying our trust on money, we live in a world of mistrust where all the energy exchange between people is unnatural and controlled by an artificial system that limits our capacity as human race. It also centers the power in to the hands of those who decide over that system. This system feeds our mistrust and is supported by individualism which makes us believe we need things which we didn’t really need if we would just trust. Paying for something is actually saying: ”You don’t need to trust me (or the universe), here is some money instead.” However, in a world where everything is valued in money, we are deprived of the priceless things in life. Ironically this was the exact word that MasterCard used in their popular ads in the turn of the millennium.
It is crucial to understand that money itself is never good or bad; it’s just one means of getting something done. Whether it does good or bad, depends on the intention behind the action. If the intention is selfish or based on fear or greed, the action is likely to create mistrust. If the intention is innocent and pure and based on love, the action is likely to create trust. Therefore money itself is really not the problem. The problem is how we use it. Liberation from money does not help the humankind, if we don’t learn the lesson. On the other hand liberation from it doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the monetary system either, but rather a healing from a massive collective trauma of mistrust.
Reclaiming the Power of Trust
Behind the closed chambers of monetary system lies a vault filled with our trust. That trust is the key that opens a door for love to do its magic. This magical power creates abundance to everyone. However, as humans we are constantly afraid of not being lovable or loved. This makes it almost impossible for us to place our trust on the mysterious and unpredictable love. By choosing money over trust, we choose control and play the safe and finite game. By choosing to trust, we enter the world of unkonwn and play the infinite game of love where anything can happen. Fear and need to control things support the mistrust that runs the monetary system. By giving our trust to money, we also let it control and define the most basic need in human experience: what is it to be lovable and loved. When we find the trust from within, we don’t need money to tell us that we are lovable, worthy and loved. That is when we break the illusion that separates us from ourselves and each other and find our way back to love and unity.
