Dear Ones,
The heart of the matter is not money, but, for many, money becomes the essence – of relationships, of business, of families, of friendships. We would tell you that money does not have the right vibration to be held as the essence of anything.
Money exists in human societies because people created a way to exchange things of value as they learned to trade what they had for something else that they needed. The value of one person’s goods was agreed upon and the value of the other person’s goods was required to be of equal or greater value before the trade was allowed to proceed. At some point people decided that it was simpler to agree upon the value of something tangible that was then traded because the common agreement to value was less open to misunderstanding. And, thus, money, or an exchange medium, was created.
Dear Ones, the energy of money has shifted over time to become something which many people see as more important than it is. Having money gives some people a sense that they are more important than those who do not have as much money. Feeling a sense of lack of money makes others feel that they are less worthy or important because they do not have the money they wish they had. Neither perspective is valid.
Are you struggling with money in your life today? Do you worry about money even though you have enough for the moment? Are you projecting your thoughts to a time in the future when you predict there may not be enough money for your desires to be fulfilled? And do you look at your relationships with others with money in mind?
We would ask you to rethink your relationship to money. Raise your consciousness to the level of your spiritual life and allow money to be put into its proper perspective, as a medium of exchange between people or entities who have agreed on its value. Money, having it or not having it, does not define who you are in your essence. Please do not allow it to become the standard by which you measure yourself or anyone else.
You have within you the Light of Your Unique Greatness. This is WHO you are. The vibration of this Light is a very high vibration and it has nothing to do with money. Your having or not having money does not change the brightness of this Light. You ARE the Light and the Light is YOU. Your very essence is Light. You were born to share this Light with others on Planet Earth at this time.
For some of you, there are monetary exchanges in which you are engaged that allow you to share your Light with others and to have them give you money in exchange for the value they have received. For others, you share your Light and you exchange money for other services or products. But always your role as a human being on 21st Century Earth is to share your Light.
What you need does not come from money. The Universe provides for your needs. The methods, the how of the delivery, might not look as you wish they did, but you are taken care of and your lessons are presented to you. Money is merely an exchange medium for participating in some transactions on Earth.
There will come a time when your societies will no longer use money to exchange products and services. People will revert to the times when the common good directed the exchanges and all contributed what they could to the operation of a society. People will be valued for their contributions to the common needs rather than for their net worth. Societies will combine resources so that all might exist and focus on higher vibration thoughts and activities. Money will lose its mystique and will, again, be relegated to a role of exchange medium, not god.
Live your life as if this time has already arrived. How can you serve others? How can you state your worth in your own mind so that monetary exchanges reflect your self-worth but do not define it. Put money into its proper place in your thoughts and your life will be more relaxed.
The result just might be that all the money you need flows to you when you need it because you have not created a logjam of thoughts about lack. You deserve to live the conscious life within the highest vibration possible.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Give the Highest Energy No Matter What the Gift Is!
December 7, 2011 — RosemaryAs often as we hear that it is better to give than to receive, I have never thought about this energetic of the sharing of vibrational frequency levels. What are we really giving when we give a gift? What are we really sharing when we give our energy to another?
The picture I see as I examine this concept clairvoyantly is of energy waves moving between people when there is giving involved. The higher vibrational waves of energy are smooth and regular. When there is negativity present the waves are jarringly irregular and jagged, and this is based on the feelings of the giver which overpowers the recipient’s energy. Even if there is a smile on the face, if there is resentment in the heart the energy is impacted.
What kind of giver are you? Are you careful about your energy when you are giving yourself to another? I know people who have signed up to help with an event then wished they could get out of it right up until they show up to help out of a sense of obligation. Imagine what this resentful energy has as an impact to others around them with that jagged, irregular set of waves moving out into the space. Perhaps it would have been better if they had said ‘no’ in the first place.
In relationships, one partner often gives away their power to the other, staying quiet when they would have spoken but they fear some reprisal or reaction that they try to avoid with their silence. This energetic pattern can build and build until the silent partner erupts in emotions. This giving of one’s power to another is not a true gift but it impacts both the giver and the receiver, in a negative way.
Look for your patterns around giving. Do you choose when to give gifts or do you give out of a sense of obligation? Do you resent having to participate in a pool at work to buy a baby shower gift or a secret Santa gift? Are you wishing that you didn’t have to buy something for that Aunt that you don’t care for? And what about saying ‘no’? Are you giving your precious time to causes that you do not want to support but feel you must out of obligation to someone else? Are you giving away your own talents and gifts without the energy exchange they deserve? Are you giving away your power by allowing others to tell you how to think and how to believe and what you ‘should’ be doing?
Hold onto yourself and your integrity. Learn to give from that higher space where the giving comes from a joy within yourself. Say ‘no’ when it feels right. Give what is comfortable for you to give. Think about the other person and lift up your energy level so you are giving from a generous spirit toward them no matter what you might think.
To give you must also learn how to receive. Do you give and give and yearn for those recipients to give back to you? Or if someone tries to give to you, even a compliment, do you know how to receive generously? ‘Giving to get’ where you give because you want or expect to get something back [like love and approval] is not the generous giving that is a high vibrational energy. And when you can’t receive from a generous place you can affect the energy of the exchange.
Give to yourself. Honor your time, energy, resources. And learn to allow others to give to you by accepting gifts because they were given, not with a judgment about value or price or intention. Practice having a generous spirit on both sides of the giving equation.
