Steve Question #72

 

Dear Joshua,

I've noticed a pattern in my life regarding financial abundance - whatever money comes in, usually goes right back out in equal amounts. And even if I don't personally spend it, it goes out through other channels like unexpected repairs. This must have something to do with my vibration, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I also have an old belief that it would be nice to have a giant amount of surplus cash in the bank as sort of a "safety cushion" should I become unemployed, but I now know that my "safety cushion" is not the cash in the bank, but rather my vibration. So that leads me to question if maybe that's the way it's supposed to be with financial abundance - whatever comes in goes right back out... I would love to hear your higher perspective on this.

Thanks!
Steve


Dear Steve,

Everything you receive is a match to your vibration. That means that essentially everything is a response to your thoughts and beliefs and feelings. You allow money to flow in and out of your life exactly as you believe it should. You make exactly the amount of money you think you should be making based on your beliefs about yourself and what's possible. This could be viewed as highly limiting or highly beneficial. That's because you cannot receive less than you think you deserve. Compared with most people, you are doing quite well indeed.

Your standard of living is higher than nearly all the billions of people who are living now and who have ever lived on this planet. It is quite remarkable what you have achieved and what you continue to achieve. The wealth you are surrounded by has never existed before, yet you take it for granted. That is quite extraordinary. It's funny how you can notice lack when you are surrounded by such abundance.

One hundred years ago, no one could imagine the lifestyle you live right now. This is the reason they could not live a life as opulent as you; because they didn't believe it was possible. You however, believe it is quite natural for you to live as you do. In fact, you yearn to experience even more. This is true of almost everyone. It is this yearning for more that leads new generations of people to even higher standards of living.

Your ability to allow money to flow in and flow out allows you to stay in a mode of receiving. Money is simply energy and like all energy it works best when it flows in a constant stream. Energy does not work as efficiently when it is stored. If you were to start hoarding money, just for a feeling of security, it would not work as well as simply believing that money will arrive when needed.

You can allow more money to flow into your life when you feel you are worthy and deserving of it. However, you can also realize you are already worthy and therefore you deserve as much as you allow. It has nothing to do with your professional performance or productivity unless you believe it does. When you know that it will come and you don't need to see the path that it will travel to your bank account, then you allow it to come.

We tell you this is how money works and we tell you that you can choose to feel thoughts of abundance or lack, but you have been living in your old approach to life for a very long time and you have some habits to break before you can quit your job and allow the money to flow. You do a much better job of attracting money when you can see how it will come to you. Now you can take a step back and feel more secure that the power of the universe will bring you anything and everything you need as long as you believe it will.

You earn more money now than you did in the past because you believe you should. You will change that belief in the future and you will earn more money if you believe you should or you will earn less if you believe that the work is not worth it. If you get to a place where the time you trade for money is no longer appealing, you might decide to do something else. You might one day decide to follow a passion. If you believe that the universe will provide as much as you allow, as much as you need, then you can confidently pursue that passion. If you believe that you cannot earn enough money following your passion, then you might never pursue it and instead continue to limit your experience.

Use the time you have now to start understanding that everything is a match to how you feel and what you believe. Realize that as long as you believe you'll be taken care of, then you will be in the state of allowing. When you worry about money, you temporarily restrict the flow of money. If the economy takes a downturn and you believe that you will be unaffected, then you will be. If you believe the economy has a direct impact of your finances, then it will. It's all a matter of perspective and belief.

The animals do not have bank accounts, they do not store food outside their bodies, and they do not worry that food will be lacking. They are aware of the abundance that surrounds them and they allow exactly as much as they need (but no more) into their experience. The universe takes care of all its creatures, including human as long as the creatures allow it.

Joshua
