Often times, when people hear about great abundance and true wealth, they ask, why would anyone need that much money? How many ‘things’ does anyone need anyway? They feel quite certain that a modest amount of wealth is just fine, and really much more Spiritual. 

This kind of thinking has come about for many reasons, which have been embedded in our culture for a very long time. There are deep seated beliefs that have been planted on this Earth, which stem from the concepts of ‘finite resources’ and a limited world. It also revolves around the standard, secular worship of the selfish ‘small self’. 

The modern world has rarely promoted the idea that those with great resources can go far beyond themselves and their tiny, little, personal needs. They are free to use their over flow in many magnificent ways. It has always been suggested that someone of modest means is somehow more worthy, because it is assumed that since they don’t have much wealth, they are not greedy, selfish or self centered.

Let’s really examine this more closely. When someone is just getting by, or when one is struggling with their financial situation, the truth is that they become VERY self centered, with all their attention on their own intense problems. Most often, all that is thought about, is money and the need for more of it. There is no room to think about how they might contribute to anyone, or anything else. Hmmm…… We see quite clearly that this is not so very Spiritual after all! Actually, lack and scarcity have nothing to do with our Spiritual aspects in any way. How has all of this gotten so backwards? 

You see, the choice we all have, is always between ‘Love and Fear’ and the situation of living without what we need, is always created from fear. This isn’t about condemning anyone, because we’ve all been there! It’s because we are fully entrenched and believing in the ‘small world view’ that insists that there is not enough to go around, and that life demands hard work and suffering, to display our value to the Universe.

My guidance has always stated several things. First and foremost, there is NO nobility in suffering! 
We made suffering into a noble thing, simply because there has been so much of it on this planet, stemming from all of the misunderstandings about how things actually work. Secondly, we must stretch way beyond our ‘small limited self’ with its limited thinking, to ever get where we really want to be…. abundant, joyful, healthy and living a truly grand life. The reason that so many shun the concept of the grand life (or conversely, want the grand life, but can’t get there) stems from the fact that we never get past our ‘small self’.

It is not hard to understand why this seems so difficult to do, as we feel the weight of our superficial world pressing in on us in every moment. The outer world has become so insistent, that the only things of any importance, are all of the superficial aspects and comforts of life. This also reinforces the fact, that you can barely do anything without a lot of money! Yikes!! What a convoluted mess it all has become. What is the solution, what do we do, where do we go, and 
how do we get there?

How on earth do we ever get past this limited, ‘small world view’ to reach our Higher Self and the freedom that lies beyond? Several words sum up what my guidance has given me, which can help bring some understanding to this picture…. choices, alignment, courage, discernment, and the greater good. 

It begins with making CHOICES that are in ALIGNMENT with what is true and right for you, within all aspects of your Being, no matter what else is happening for others. It requires COURAGE to step away from the smallness and mediocrity of the superficial world and dare to be different. All of these actions and ways of being, take true DISCERNMENT to see beyond the smoke and mirrors, to what is really true. Next, your Higher Self asks you to truly go BEYOND YOURSELF and into the ‘GREATER GOOD’. This is speaking about a larger vision than just filling your own personal needs. 

So, how does all of this help us to manifest more money in our lives, you might ask? I’ll put it this way, there is a strange phenomenon that occurs as you step up and fill your ‘bigger shoes’ and as you become the ‘Being’ that you were truly meant to be. The Universe supports our ‘largeness’ not our ‘smallness’ and as we move to Higher Ground, we begin to see all of the lack and limitation fall away. We can feel the wind beneath our wings as we fly higher and think bigger. As we fulfill a larger vision and assist the Greater Good, our own personal needs are more than taken care of and our abundance starts to over flow. We are in alignment with the larger picture, so now we can live the larger life. 

It all has to do with going BEYOND YOURSELF.

Last night when I was tossing and turning, not able to fall asleep, I started to hear my ‘Guides’ speak to me. This is not uncommon, for the quiet night time hours seem to be their favorite time to communicate. I’ve learned to pay attention, because they have wonderful wisdom and insights that are definitely worth the heads up, even if I’m really tired.

They have a delightfully different perspective on daily life that adds humor, vision and practical, useable guidance and understanding. Since they were very aware of the ‘buzz’around the Presidential political race, they used that platform to get my attention.

They gave me this riddle… How are Politics like Pea Soup? I smiled…. what were they up to now? I’m too tired to figure out riddles, I don’t know…. tell me how. I waited a moment, then clearly heard their answer.

Politics and Pea Soup -“They are both dull and thick and lumpy!!” I had to laugh, almost out loud. They continued by stating that they both (Politics and Pea Soup) take a lot of ‘green stuff’ to make them happen, and its all about moving peas around on the plate (or bowl ) in this case. Oh boy… they were on a roll. A little clarification might help here.

In our house, the phrase “moving the peas around on the plate” has always represented the idea that something may ‘look’ like it’s happening, (movement, etc.) but in actuality, nothing really changes at all. All right, now I’m awake, so let’s have a real discussion.

They continued, happy to have my attention and giving me instructions to write an article about this, because they had something important to say that people won’t hear anywhere else. These are basically their words as I remember them…..

“The media is stating that the presidential race is in a dead heat. What does that illustrate? You are witnessing the people of your country splitting right down the middle. One side wants the status quo to remain in tact, resisting change, and the other side wants change, but doesn’t know how it will happen. There are many doubts on both sides as to what is truth and what is fiction, but both are fighting for whatever it is that they believe.”

“Let us bring this closer to home for each individual, so we can shed some light on the real issues and get to the actual ‘causal level’. This division is so utterly classic, it is easy to communicate the understandings. This is the perfect picture of exactly what goes on inside of each person.”

“There is the part of you that resists change with all your might, the part that has complete loyalty to the ingrained ‘programs.’ The loyalty to the ‘separation program’ is so deep, that it is usually never even recognized. Then there is the outer level of the conscious mind, that begins to make choices, acknowledging the desire and need for change and tries to implement these changes on the surface level. The unconscious mind and the conscious mind are in a battle with each other. You get to see this is all playing out on the physical stage called life.”

“Please Notice, we said ‘changes on the surface level’, because this is an important key. The tendency is to diligently try to change things by ‘actions’ on the physical level, such as ‘fighting’ for a certain political candidate.  This comes about because all of your life, you have been trained to believe that it was the physical action, that created the change. Primarily, it has always been believed that the physical level of life was all there was! This is actually backwards and it is crucial to understand this. The reason for this, rests with the confusion of ‘levels’. What is the ‘surface’ level and what is the ‘causal’ level? The regular physical world is actually what we would call the surface or superficial level of life – the ‘effect’. The underlying consciousness (God) or (Source) is exactly that… the ‘Source’ or ‘causal’ level. “

“Why are we talking about this, this way?… because this understanding is what will begin to make the REAL changes that are actually needed on this planet. It will not be the politicians or demonstrations, or laws that will bring mankind to the Golden Age that is desired by many. It will be the transformation of each individual from the inside out, that will make this happen.”

“Many people have come to the understanding within their personal life, that in order to manifest what they want, they must stay focused and in alignment with their intentions. They must bring the ‘old’ or ‘automatic’ negative programing up to consciousness, so that it can be recognized and released. They understand on a very individual level, the concept that they each create their own reality. “

“Yes, this is true, and it remains  true, as you move from your personal concerns into the broader picture. Each must remember to consciously create alignment within themselves and not forget all they have learned as soon as they get hooked by the old beliefs, ie: that you must ‘fight’ to make things the way you want. Here is the translation: … what you resist, persists and fighting will never be a creative force, it is the destructive mode, the backbone of the old separation consciousness.”

“This old style knows full well, that it can keep people in the perpetual loop of going nowhere, while thinking that they are trying to change things for the better. Many well meaning people for millennia have fallen into this trap. Remember, it is only at the superficial level (physical reality) that things can be so negatively manipulated. Why do you think there is so much commotion, this is what those in power want, to keep everyone at the surface level, so no true change will ever happen.”

“The truth of life isn’t fooled by all of the false smoke and mirrors. As each person chooses to consciously stay away from the chaos and consciously chooses to stay firmly at their deeper level… they become a powerful creator. As more and more people join together in conscious intent for true forward movement and positive change, then and only then, will all of you see the fulfillment and forward progress that is desired.”

Welcome to the Wisdom Within Revolution, where we can begin to change the world from the inside out!

Since the vastness of the Universe dwells inside of us (the Kingdom/Queendom lies Within) the changes that need to happen, begin in our very core. We can no longer expect that the external ‘doing’ alone, will accomplish the job.  As we now understand that it is our inner consciousness that creates the world we see, it is imperative that we go to the heart of the matter, rather than staying on the surface level.

This is the place where we all have a special role to play in the grand unfolding of a new paradigm for Humanity and Mother Earth. We realize that instead of it being considered selfish to take the time to develop our inner beingness, it is absolutely essential that we do so!

The external ‘programing’ has been in direct opposition to this quest and will insist that we must put all of our attention on the physical needs and realities of every day life. This will keep us busy from morning ‘til night and effectively keep us from ever operating from our deeper level…. the one that truly makes the difference!

It is in the deep moments of stillness, where we see with clear vision, all that we must let go of, in order to consciously create a world that actually works! The world as it is now is dedicated to the ‘separation’ concept, and that thought system permeates every aspect of human life as it is right now. This very deep underlying concept is woven into the fabric of our cell structure. It is so innately inside of our belief systems that we often don’t even recognize it. We have many deep loyalties

to our defenses and protections and all of our beliefs systems about the way the world works. The Higher parts of ourselves see from a much broader vantage point, steering the way to Higher ground.

The Wisdom Within Revolution is dedicated to opening our eyes, through the guidance of Spirit, to see things as they truly are…. all ONE. Through this higher perspective we can make our own individual ‘course corrections’ and thus begin the massive changes needed in our world, from the inside out.
