RELATING TO TIME AND MONEY

RELATING TO TIME AND MONEY

All of existence is made from the material of consciousness-source-God. There is no separation, everything is equal, and everything in existence is made of the same material. Our relationship to things of existence depends on our growth in consciousness. 

Time and money are also the grand creations of consciousness. But separating time and money as power and attaching to it is the story of the mind. Believing our mind stories, we attach ourselves to our physical world intensely. We have hypnotized ourselves into believing that being busy all of the time is purposeful and noble. The busier we are, the more important we feel about ourselves. The material world is only one part of our reality, but we have started to define others and ourselves by what we produce. We stress ourselves out with achievements, deadlines, and productions. In a world of overwork, our hearts harden, and illness and pain become our companions.

We are multidimensional beings who also live in the invisible and spiritual dimensions. Just by watching our thoughts, we know that there is a being who watches the thoughts. Just by watching the body perform its actions, we know that there is a being who works the body. Our dreamtime feels so real that it makes us wonder if we were in another place at another time. If we travel to space in a rocket we come to know that the sun never sets nor does it rise, and we also understand that the directions of north, south, east, or west is just a concept in a map. We are much more than who we think we are, and existence is much grander.

Every religion talks about a day of rest, a day to make sacred; a Sunday for Christians, a Saturday for Jews, and a Friday for Muslims and Hindus. Living in our minds, we believe that it is one day of the week where we do things other than our regular work. Reserving a sacred day is a practice to move into state of rest, renewal, and conscious connection to the Divine. It is a spiritual practice to realign with our birthright to inner peace. When we take time to anchor our Spiritual Energy, it balances our life. We become our wholesome selves, and we come into our power.

Consciously choosing to organize our time to connect with our Divine Presence is a wise way to relate to our time and money. Our sacred connection can be a moment, a day, a week, or a month. It can be taking in a deep conscious breath anytime during the day, it may be meditation, it may be connecting with nature, sitting in stillness, or even a mental act of counting our blessings.

At the deepest level we are pure consciousness beyond form and content. We are made of unconditional love. The moment we connect and align with our Divine Presence, it embraces everything within and around us. Mysteriously, our body feels embraced, healed, and comforted by this love, and every situation dealing with time, money, or relationships on the outside is also set right. This is our wholesome power as every creation happens from here and abundance in life flows from here.

Choosing to live in joy and gratitude, taking time to laugh more, to play more, and to choose to celebrate every aspect of life, is a successful way to relate to time and to manifest abundance in life.
