This piece isn’t about manifestation hacks, mindset tricks, or the oversimplified “law of attraction.”
It’s a psycho-spiritual exploration of how to reclaim the money force from hostile influences and align prosperity with Divine Will and your deeper purpose.

Beyond Politics and Economics: The Deeper Roots of Scarcity
We live in an age of hyper-materialism. On one hand, the number of millionaires, billionaires, and soon-to-be-trillionaires keeps rising.
On the other hand, more and more people are struggling, financially strained, living in poverty, or dependent on welfare.
The divide between rich and poor grows wider by the day.
Many blame capitalism, and it’s no surprise that younger generations are drawn to socialism or communism in response to rising living costs and the struggle of affording a decent life.
Anger toward the wealthy has increased. More people look to the government for “free” housing, services, and products, unknowingly deepening their dependency on Daddy government.
“Tax the Rich!” is a popular slogan among leftist socialists. But is raising taxes really the solution, especially when the tax system itself is corrupted, and taxation has become a form of theft?
There was a time when people didn’t pay income tax, and it actually benefited society.
There was also a time when the dollar and other national currencies held real value. But once it was decoupled from gold, and endless money printing took over, inflation began rising exponentially.
Paper “fiat” money keeps losing value, while people keep working harder for less.
Yes, Bitcoin and crypto offer some solutions, but they won’t fix everything and don’t address the deeper root of the issue.
I definitely think that a grounded, practical financial education is very important, something most people lack, and I used to lack as well.
However, this article is not about discussing political ideology, economics, fiat vs. BTC, inflation, taxes, macro-economics, or smart investments.
There are plenty of people giving sound advice on all of that on Substack or X.
What I’m offering here is different: a look beneath the surface of money, wealth, poverty, and scarcity, into the psycho-spiritual and occult forces that shape our relationship to abundance.
To be clear: this is not about “money mindset,” or the watered-down pop-spirituality version of “manifest your dream house, car, and relationship.” There’s more than enough of that out there.
Our relationship to abundance is shaped not just by upbringing and social conditioning, but also by karma and deeper soul lessons beyond the ego’s grasp.
There are many unknowns at play, especially on spiritual and karmic levels, in the larger context of both individual and collective evolution of consciousness. Needless to say, I won’t be able to cover all of that in this piece.
Seeking Meaning Beyond Material Success
I grew up in Germany in a lower-middle-class family, living in a small three-bedroom apartment for the first 22 years of my life. It wasn’t until I moved to the US that I lived in a house with a backyard (and five roommates).
I didn’t grow up in poverty or experience real lack, but I wasn’t surrounded by riches either. My dad was a good “company man” who enjoyed his work.
When I graduated high school, most of my peers went on to study business or pursue careers with clear material goals. I couldn’t relate to that path at all. The idea of chasing money, status, comfort, or possessions gave me no sense of fulfillment.
I had bigger questions. I felt there had to be more to life than material success or the pursuit of pleasure, entertainment, and security.
I needed depth, purpose, and meaning.
Questions like “Who am I?” and “What is life really about?” drove me forward and eventually led me on a quest.
In my twenties, I moved to Los Angeles and followed my passion for music, playing drums in bands while working odd jobs to support myself.
Around that time, I also discovered a natural talent for healing and bodywork through a mentor who encouraged me to learn and pursue it, which eventually led me to build my private practice.
At the same time, my deeper drive was always toward knowledge and spiritual understanding. I questioned everything and immersed myself in psychology, spiritual, occult, and esoteric teachings, along with alternative history and conspiracy research.
That pursuit eventually inspired me to write.
Writing became a way to process and integrate what I was learning. I created a blog in the early 2000s, thinking that others might enjoy it. Over time, it grew organically.
When social media took off, my work unexpectedly went viral in 2014, and I began receiving invitations to speak on podcasts and at conferences in the US, Germany, and Australia.
I never set out to build a “career” as a teacher, writer, or speaker. I followed what felt alive and meaningful, not what promised financial reward.
Looking back, it was what Joseph Campbell described as “following your bliss.”
Throughout all of this, I was always able to support myself and never went into debt. But money was never a priority for me.
When My Money Shadow Was Exposed
At the same time, I carried negative judgments toward wealthy or money-driven people. I believed I was “better” than them because I wasn’t chasing money. I thought I was more “spiritual.”
I also judged people who charged what I thought was “too much” for certain services, based on subjective assumptions that were purely my projections.
I struggled to ask for money myself and felt guilty charging what my work was worth, even though clients valued it.
For a while, I worked part-time at a high-end retreat center in Malibu, providing massage and bodywork to the rich and famous. I was well paid and one of the most-requested therapists.
Still, I lived modestly and never thought seriously about making more money or planning for the future. I clung to the idea of “living in the present,” but I also used it to bypass practical needs.
A big shift came when I was still living in a studio guest house and getting by month to month.
There was another massage therapist and yoga teacher at the same retreat center where I worked. He had far more private clients, hosted his own retreats, and was making very good money.
I judged him harshly. I gossiped about him with a friend and called him an “ass-kisser” who charged too much and was only in it for the money. I labeled him greedy and selfish. Of course, I never told him that directly. I was fake-nice to his face and resentful behind his back.
Around that time, I had started going deeper into Jungian psychology and shadow work.
One day, it hit me like a truck: I was envious of him. I was projecting my shadow onto him.
He was living out what I secretly wanted but judged in myself as unacceptable. I labeled him greedy, selfish, and unspiritual because that’s how I felt about myself when I admitted I wanted more money and success.
Unconsciously, I had been blocking my own ability to thrive because I believed that to desire prosperity and money made me unspiritual and greedy.
It’s a devastating form of self-sabotage because the shadow projection onto him felt so good, righteous, and justified.
Facing these lies I told myself and realizing how I projected my shadow on others was the necessary shock I needed to break through these unconscious false beliefs and self-imposed limitations.
The truth was, I wanted what he had. I wanted the freedom and prosperity that come with not just surviving, but thriving and building something.
For the first time, I saw the value of planning for the future. I realized I had been using the idea of “living in the now” as a spiritual bypass.
That was the moment I chose to embrace money and the material world and to begin creating wealth more consciously and intentionally.
It marked the beginning of a long process of unlearning and deprogramming. I had to dismantle all the false beliefs I carried about money and spirituality.
Most of them were rooted in unconscious programs like “I’m not good enough,” or “I don’t deserve this,” all of it linked to childhood wounds, ancestral trauma, and collective conditioning.
The Matrix Scarcity Program
After that turning point in my life, I began to see how scarcity was not just a personal experience but a collective program running through our entire society and culture.
What I call the Matrix Scarcity Program is not simply about economics or external circumstances. It’s not just about evil banksters keeping people impoverished or First World capitalists exploiting Third World nations through economic warfare.
Yes, those may be the surface-level symptoms. But it’s easy to get trapped in the superficial blame-and-victim game at the 3D level.
Nothing will truly change unless we understand the spiritual and hyperdimensional nature of reality, how hostile forces have hijacked the money force through their human instruments, and, more importantly, how we ourselves feed and justify the Matrix Scarcity Program on unconscious psycho-spiritual levels.
This happens through social conditioning, religious programming, unresolved childhood wounds, ancestral trauma, karmic entanglements, and, most insidiously, through identification with our lower nature.
It is said that all wars are bankers’ wars for profit and more power over others.
At the deeper level, it’s always been about money, power, and life force, harvested and redirected through occult mechanisms that keep humanity enslaved by manipulated free will.
But instead of getting caught in the disempowering victim trap and blaming the banksters, economy, governments, or any corruption “out there,” we need to ask:
-
- What is my relationship to money and power?
- What unconscious and conscious self-defeating beliefs do I hold around them?
- How and where do I give my power away?
The Matrix Scarcity Program tells us that survival is the best we can hope for, that money is tainted, there’s not enough to go around, and that wealth is reserved for the greedy and corrupt.
It installs unconscious beliefs that keep us disempowered, caught in fear, guilt, envy, shame, and self-sabotage. And like any good program, it runs silently in the background, and we project it outward onto others, just as I once did.
Most people fall into one of two extremes:
-
- They either reject or judge money as unspiritual or evil and project their shadow onto anyone who appears successful or wealthy.
- Or they worship money as a tool of indulgence and identity of self-worth, enslaved by desires that are not even their own.
Both distortions keep us trapped in the matrix, which is not an external political or economic system, but a hyperdimensional construct that works through our own minds.
Humanity has been manipulated for thousands of years through the corrupted forces of money, power, and sex. This manipulation operates:
-
- Through the temptations of the lower nature in a hyper-materialistic age
- Through inherited beliefs that glorify poverty and demonize wealth
- Through distorted spiritual and religious teachings
- And through hostile forces that have hijacked the money force to keep people disempowered
As a result, many spiritual seekers reject money altogether, believing it is corrupt or unspiritual.
Others become consumed by it, losing themselves in greed and compulsive consumption.
But whether we reject money as evil or indulge in it unconsciously, both are distortions, and both, as Sri Aurobindo noted, are errors:
“Money is the visible sign of a universal force, and this force in its manifestation on earth is indispensable to the fullness of the outer life.
As the money power today is in the hands of hostile forces, we naturally have to fight them. Whenever they see that you are trying to oust them, they will try to thwart your efforts. You have to bring a higher power than these and put them down.
For this reason, most spiritual disciplines insist on complete self-control, detachment, and renunciation of all bondage to wealth and of all personal and egoistic desire for its possession.
Some even put a ban on money and riches and proclaim poverty and bareness of life as the only spiritual condition.
But this is an error; it leaves the power in the hands of the hostile forces.
Money represents a great power of life which must be conquered for divine uses. Therefore, you must have no attachment to it but also no disgust or horror of it.”
Conquering The Money Force From The Hostile Forces
The spiritual task is not to reject money or be enslaved by it, but to consciously reclaim and purify our relationship to it.
Money is meant to serve higher aims: truth, spiritual growth, and the evolution of consciousness in alignment with our dharma.
That doesn’t mean renouncing material comfort, giving away all your money to others, or denying yourself the enjoyment of life.
It means mastering the lower nature and integrating the shadow. It’s not about suppressing human needs, but about enjoying material things without attachment, greed, or guilt.
True abundance arises when money serves the Divine, not the wounded ego.
It also means your peace, joy, and equanimity aren’t dependent on external circumstances. When you live from that place, you hold more power over money than money has over you.
We are living in a time of spiritual warfare.
Part of our work in this Time of Transition at the end of this Kali Yuga is to reconquer the money force so it can serve life, truth, and divine purpose rather than fear, greed, and falsehood. The same is true for the forces of power and sex.
Only then can we become effective, sovereign agents of change, rather than rejecting money as “evil”, staying trapped in the matrix scarcity program and victim-blame dynamics.
To reconquer the money force for the Divine means using your God-given creative power to generate prosperity aligned with Divine Will.
That higher Will moves through your true Self and your specific soul purpose (dharma), not the conditioned personality, which is often shaped by trauma, insecurity, or social and cultural programming.
The lower nature easily hijacks money and power. That’s where hostile forces enter.
In today’s world, success is often equated with money and fame, disconnected from spirit, integrity, and conscience. This opens the door to greed, corruption, and fragmentation, allowing hostile entities to influence or even possess a person.
On the other side of the spectrum, I’ve seen people reject money entirely while projecting their own shadow, frustration, and unconscious envy onto anyone successful or wealthy.
But that mindset only deepens scarcity, keeps the money force in the hands of hostile forces, and traps people in the very matrix program they think they’re resisting.
False Spiritual Beliefs About Money
Corrupted spiritual teachings and religious programming have reinforced the Matrix Poverty Program for thousands of years.
As a result, many spiritual seekers reject the money force altogether. They believe money is unspiritual or that charging for services is wrong.
This mindset is rooted in religious distortions, unconscious guilt, and generational conditioning.
Over time, it creates unconscious entitlement, where people expect to receive freely while seeing payment as a moral failure or spiritual corruption.
Some common scarcity-inducing false spiritual beliefs include:
-
- “You can’t have material possessions and be spiritual.”
- “A person is closer to God with nothing.”
- “The less you have, the more spiritual you are.”
- “God loves the poor more and disapproves of the wealthy.”
- “Money is the root of all evil.”
- “Being spiritual means not charging for services or only accepting donations.”
- “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.” (a literal misinterpretation)
- “No honest person ever made a million dollars.”
These beliefs often get passed down through generational trauma: war, migration, financial instability, or survival fear. Even if never spoken aloud, the emotional tone around money is absorbed through mechanical behavior, habits, and entrainment.
This programming is one of the most effective traps of the matrix. We confuse suffering with virtue, poverty with purity, and scarcity with spiritual authenticity.
But rejecting payment for real value is not humility. It violates the law of energetic exchange.
Money is not just paper or digits. It is a force. It needs to flow. When that flow is blocked, especially by guilt, shame, pride, or false virtue, it stops circulating and returning.
Not receiving for your work short-circuits the energetic exchange. Over time, it weakens the impact of your service and dries up the money force.
Rejecting money doesn’t make you spiritual or end poverty. It just leaves the force in the hands of those who misuse it.
“Money is a means, a force, a power, and not an end in itself. And like all forces and all powers, money has no value unless it circulates.
For each and every one, money is valuable only when one has spent it. But it should not be given without discernment.
Money is meant to increase Wealth. Wealth is a force of Nature, and it should be a means of circulation, a power in movement, as flowing water is a power in movement.”
– The Mother (Mirra Alfassa)
The Necessity for Payment to Open the Flow
When I first began working as a bodyworker and coach, I gave many sessions away for free or on a donation basis. I needed the experience to learn and grow in my craft.
Sometimes, offering free work makes sense, especially when you’re learning or genuinely helping someone in need. It’s not black and white. But over time, I saw the limits of this approach.
When services are given away to people deeply caught in the matrix scarcity program, it often reinforces entitlement and spiritual bypassing rather than growth.
Because of my own money wounds and guilt about charging, I gave away too much.
Most of the time, the work wasn’t truly valued. I saw that when people received something for “free,” they often didn’t invest their own effort or will, and as a result, it didn’t actually help them
Oftentimes, it led to more entitlement, according to the old saying, “give them a finger, and they take the whole hand.”
I frequently heard, “I can’t afford it,” or “I don’t have the money right now.”
In most cases, that’s just an excuse. I know because I used to say it too. What I really meant was, “This isn’t a priority,” or “I don’t want to spend money on this.”
That’s okay, just be honest with yourself. Saying “I don’t have the money” keeps reinforcing scarcity at a subconscious level. It becomes a self-imposed spell.
This is where humility and radical self-honesty matter. We all lie to ourselves at times, especially around money. It’s part of the human condition.
There’s also a subtle form of narcissism, masked as false humility or spiritual idealism, that assumes things should be given freely. It expects others to do the work while remaining in a victim consciousness and self-pity.
As Manly P. Hall put it:
“The law of cause and effect is as inevitable as day and night, as certain as the tides, and as constant as the ages. This law says that ‘as ye sow, so shall ye reap’.
What you earn comes to you, what you have not earned can never be yours, and neither god nor man can alter the complexion of these facts.”
Nothing is truly free. No one owes you anything.
There is always a price to pay for so-called “free” services, welfare, and government handouts. More often than not, that price is freedom, traded for dependency on Big Brother.
As I’ve shared in a previous article, my father lived through the loss of freedom in East Germany, a so-called “democratic socialist” state that he eventually escaped.
Over time, these systems disempower people by conditioning them to expect handouts, creating karmic imbalance and spiritual debt.
Just like borrowing money you didn’t earn, taking “free” credit always comes with interest.
Far from a real “Golden Age,” the next big step toward collective enslavement is “free” universal income, something Elon Musk and others are already promoting.
From an occult perspective, it is a form of black magic, leading to future debt repayment through suffering and loss of free will.
It is similar to a “Faustian pact with the devil.”
Most people are easily tempted by the lure of “free” anything without giving anything in return, just like most people consume more than they create.
You can see it already happening.
One consequence of the abundance of free content online is that people begin to devalue the energy, labor, and creativity that go into it.
Easy access also dulls the capacity to learn through sincere effort.
But this shift goes deeper than how we relate to content. It affects how we relate to life.
Over time, subtle entitlement creeps in and, along with it, the expectation that prosperity, growth, understanding, or even inner transformation should come without effort, sacrifice, or responsibility.
Jeanne de Salzmann spoke directly to this mindset in her esoteric masterpiece “First Initiation”, geared toward the initiate:
“You will see that in life, you receive exactly what you give. Your life is the mirror of what you are. It is in your image.
You are passive, blind, and demanding. You take all, you accept all, without feeling any obligation.
Your attitude toward the world and toward life is the attitude of one who has the right to make demands and to take, who has no need to pay or to earn.
You believe that all things are your due, simply because it is you!
All your blindness is there! None of this strikes your attention. And yet this is what keeps one world separate from another world.”
– Jeanne de Salzmann, First Initiation
This challenge is only amplified by the rise of free AI-generated content, which is already eroding the ability to think independently, shortening attention spans, and weakening the capacity to focus.
As a result, intelligence and creativity decline.
The “spiritual organs” atrophy through constant externalization and lack of inner inquiry to access the higher mind and true Self.
All of these are signs of the darkness at the end of this Kali Yuga, the height of hyper-materialism and absence of embodied spiritual wisdom.
More access to knowledge doesn’t equal understanding, just as reading something doesn’t mean you’ve truly grasped it.
When people don’t give, invest, or, as Gurdjieff put it, “pay with themselves,” they lose the very qualities, intelligence, creativity, and will that make real growth and transformation possible, resulting ultimately in spiritual atrophy and the loss of the growth of being:
“No, even if we needed no money at all it would still be necessary to keep this payment. It rids us at once of many useless people. Nothing shows up in people so much as their attitude towards money.
They are ready to waste as much as you like on their own personal fantasies, but they have no valuation whatsoever of another person’s labor.
I must work for them and give them gratis [free] everything that they vouchsafe to take from me. [They say:] ’How is it possible to trade in knowledge? This ought to be free.’
It is precisely for this reason that the demand for this payment is necessary. Some people will never pass this barrier.“
– G. I. Gurdjieff
Two Practices That Changed My Relationship With Money And Helped Me Thrive
As I worked to reclaim the money force in my life, regardless of economic conditions or media fear programming, two core insights changed everything.
These weren’t intellectual ideas but lived practices that naturally opened the flow of prosperity.
This isn’t financial advice. You still have to do the inner work: shadow integration, reprogramming unconscious beliefs, healing childhood wounds, and clearing ancestral and social conditioning.
“Money mindset” alone won’t cut it.
Years ago, after the incident I shared earlier, projecting my shadow onto a thriving coworker, I made a conscious effort to observe my everyday attitude toward money.
One major insight came while shopping for groceries. I noticed how often I judged things as “cheap” or “expensive.” Even with health as my top priority, I’d grab whatever was on sale. I was clinging to money, afraid to spend.
That day, I let go of the fear. I bought the high-quality food that I truly wanted without second-guessing or listening to the voice that said, “This is too much. You can’t afford it.”
I also dropped the word “expensive” from my vocabulary. I stopped looking at prices in the store and just got what I needed.
I realized these labels are entirely subjective, mental programs tied to arbitrary numbers. Something simply has a price. Whether I choose to pay it is a different matter.
I also began investing in myself: books, workshops, mentors, and training that refined my craft.
Over time, something unexpected happened. The more I spent without fear or judgment, without labeling goods or services as “cheap” or “expensive,” the more prosperity flowed, the more money I received, and the more opportunities showed up.
I stopped clinging to money, stopped fearing spending, and let it circulate, especially toward my own development.
Years later, I came across a quote by Henry Ford that captured what I had lived into:
“I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old.
I invested in myself – in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation.
Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.”
– Henry Ford
Now, someone might say, “But some things are expensive, and I can’t afford them.”
Maybe so. I used to justify using the word “expensive” too. It was one of the hardest habits to break.
But that belief reinforces scarcity. Instead of saying, “It’s too expensive,” try reframing it: “It’s not my priority right now,” or “I’m working toward being able to afford it.”
That shift alone can begin to open the flow.
The Freedom That Comes From Not Commodifying People’s Work
This also helped me let go of judging what other people charge.
Whenever I catch my mind judging something as “too expensive,” I take it as a sign that I’ve slipped out of alignment with my true nature and fallen back into old scarcity patterns.
It becomes an invitation for inner inquiry.
Whether something is “worth it” is beside the point and always subjective. The real issue is the emotional charge behind the judgment of “too much.”
Once I stopped caring what others charged, a tremendous amount of energy was freed up, and prosperity followed.
As I healed my scarcity wound, passed down through generations and reinforced by matrix poverty programming, I stopped obsessing over prices altogether.
It hasn’t been easy. This work goes far deeper than adopting a positive attitude.
But the more I worked through it, the less interested I became in bargain hunting, chasing the “cheapest deal,” or gossiping and complaining about what others charge.
I also stopped commodifying people’s work and goods based purely on price.
By that, I mean reducing someone’s offering to a product judged solely by cost, ignoring the years of work, energy, and experience that went into it.
That’s what the matrix trains us to do: consume, compare, and expect more for less. It blinds us to the deeper value behind what’s being offered.
A scarcity wound drives this habit of price comparison without real discernment or understanding of quality, experience, or true value, mostly on an unconscious level.
What I’ve learned is that value isn’t measured in pennies saved. It’s recognized when you respect the craft, the product, the experience, and the person behind the work.
Discernment, Integrity, and the Price of Scarcity
Of course, not every high price reflects true value. In today’s culture of imitation and instant expertise, some people charge premium rates without real experience, study, or original insight.
This is part of the larger distortion of spiritual materialism, greed, and social media performance. But that’s a separate issue.
The key is to develop inner discernment, not based on price alone, but on integrity and quality. When you’re no longer stuck in a scarcity wound, you can sense that difference clearly.
At least that’s been my experience. I haven’t once felt “ripped off” since healing that unconscious scarcity pattern.
Again, the main point of this article is to “conquer money for divine uses,” as Sri Aurobindo put it, which means bringing it under Self-leadership, aligned with your dharma and deeper purpose.
If you’re out of touch with your essence and dharma, that’s where your real work lies. Otherwise, you’re easily tempted by the lower expressions of money, sex, and power.
You also become more prone to manipulation and may feel “taken advantage of” by others, or project your unresolved shadow onto those you believe are overcharging. That used to be me.
But real discernment only becomes possible when you’re in alignment with yourself and engaged in sincere inner and shadow work.
My work has been ripped off. My wife and I have been plagiarized many times. Some of our course content and outlines were copied, imitated, and sold by people who never put in their own work, effort, or experience.
When someone lacks integrity and has no strong spiritual foundation, but is driven by the persona of how one wants to be seen and appear, there’s no inner conscience.
That opens the door to greed, dishonesty, and being used as a vessel for hostile forces.
I used to get upset about it. I called people out left and right. But over time, I realized I have far more power and impact by staying in integrity myself and focusing on my own work, rather than wasting energy worrying whether others are in theirs, which I don’t have control over anyway.
As Gurdjieff said, “There is nothing to do with such people; they are already their own punishment.” No one is above the law of karma, and what goes around comes around.
Over the years, I have seen that many people who have created real wealth live by the same principle. Some were clients. Others were mentors I paid to learn from.
And just recently, I came across this post by investor and financial educator Stack Hodler that confirmed my insight and experience from years ago:
Read his full post HERE.
Beyond Scarcity: Reclaiming Power, Responsibility, and Abundance
Most people justify their scarcity by blaming the outside world: the “evil-doers,” the greedy 1%, the banking system, the government, and so on. I did this myself for years.
But your own shadow, conditioning, and unresolved trauma will keep reinforcing the matrix scarcity program through blame and victim consciousness.
The matrix feeds on that. It will always give you convincing reasons why you should live in financial hardship, why you can’t afford the life you desire, and why struggle is inevitable.
“Look at the world. The economy is bad.
Everyone is struggling. So must you. Be afraid!”
That is the message. And it is a lie.
You can thrive, live in abundance, and create prosperity if you are willing to make real inner changes and take an honest look at your relationship with money.
This has nothing to do with just “positive thinking” or distorted and oversimplified New Age ideas like the Law of Attraction.
Those approaches bypass the deeper psychological and spiritual work that actually changes your reality and aligns you with something higher than your ego-personality.
In fact, the best thing you can do for yourself, your family, and the world is to thrive, to be creative and productive, and to reclaim the forces of money and power from the hostile forces that currently corrupt and control them.
You always had that power. Don’t give it away. Don’t deny it. And don’t demonize it.
Scarcity isn’t resolved by blaming others or the system, by rejecting or chasing money, by expecting handouts, or by forcing positive thinking.
It changes when you confront your unconscious relationship to money, power, value, and responsibility, and align it with your true nature, dharma, and Divine Will.
“The Matrix Control System owes its power to the fact that people give it power. Freewill is bartered for security, and most people live as slaves, perhaps happy slaves but slaves nonetheless.
You might see this situation as an injustice, but once you realize that freedom is not denied or simply ignored, the matter is no longer an injustice but a tragedy.
Like Dorothy [in The Wizard of Oz], we have always had the power. We have always had the ability to open the flow to prosperity, but it takes a long and arduous road of failure and deception for most to finally recognize and gain confidence in a better way.”
– Tom Montalk
