Worth

Wealth – Worth…

Do you know there is a powerful misconception about wealth and worth?

To know what someone is worth is to know what they think of themselves…and this has nothing to do with money! The difference between worth and money is that worth measures value and money measures energy.

In fact the most powerful misconception of our whole human condition is that there is not enough money o feed the poor r get you what you want r change the nature of the inner city ghettoes of the world …right? Wrong!

The fact is it’s not that there’s not enough money, it’s that there’s not enough love in the world….that’s what creates poverty. Why… because your sense of self worth is based upon how much you felt loved and valued by your world as you were growing up. Many citizens of the world do not come from loving families, thus their sense of worth has to be established in their adulthood by their own choices.

When individuals develop their ability to love rather than fear each other and the world around them, their own sense of worthiness will change dramatically. There are many hundreds, perhaps thousands, of ‘do gooders’ internationally looking for a committee to sit on to ‘help the unfortunate.’ It’s part of their pattern to feel superior yet unappreciated. Why…because more often than not, ‘the poor unfortunates’ are left feeling powerless in the ‘do gooding’ exchange and consequently feel no value within the help provided. Rather, they fear control and respond by rebelling (you know, that’s what graffiti is all about…kids expressing their frustration at feeling no control over their environment).

When I was first studying Ritual Magic, I was taught a magical law, that life was a two-sided coin. On one side, there is indulgence which leads to death and on the other, involvement which leads to life.

The most profound change will occur in social, corporate and housing ghettoes globally when the individuals within these places decide to become involved with their own communities in a loving and respectful way, when they commence to love themselves, each other and their environment.

So much energy is wasted in the pursuit of complaint, resentment and revenge, most are unwilling to change their self description when given the chance because they are invested in the role of ‘angry, poor, unfortunate victims of a cruel and unfair world’.

Profound change can only occur when the individual is in present time and decides they’re worth more……then make choices according to their sense of worth.

When individuals take the Sacred tools of any indigenous culture (Tai Chi, Chi Gung, Bambu Kuning, Meditation, Hula, Sword Fighting, Chanting, Dancing, Yoga, to name a few) and use them to center themselves, release their belief in limitation and commence the process of true self respect ….. When this happens, their sense of worth will flow out into the community as Divine Nectar.

When the love of the earth is reborn in their hearts and flowers encouraged to grow close by…..when they use their energy to create order rather than chaos, beauty rather than disfigurement, respect rather than resentment……magic will happen.

They will no longer be the ‘resentful unfortunates,’ angrily believing there will never be enough for them. Is that what you believe? What is your (self) worth? Are you choosing to be involved or indulged?
