A Tale of Prosperity vs Poverty
David insists the reason for his anxiety about spending money comes from his childhood influences. His family was poor but not destitute.
Though he went to college and now has a six-figure salary, he still believes in “use it up / wear it out” and finishes everything on his plate. He watches every penny and wonders why the thought of not having money still bothers him.
Do you know someone like David?
What’s the real bother?
When we look at the spectrum and examine some of the language “poverty”, “abundance”, “spending”, “saving”, “money” – we ask questions. In this real world example, checking the energy, David isn’t neutral to the relative freedom and abundance in his life.
- Having freedom and abundance actually weakens David’s energy
- Having less freedom and having a ‘poverty’ mentality was actually strong (energetically neutral)
David had already resolved the poverty experience – and was energetically neutral to – his upbringing and growing up poor. But, because he’s stuck in his old story, he couldn’t resolve what the real issue or trigger was today.
So, we see the imbalance — the need to be neutral with abundance — is probably not what David first thought or verbalized.
The Unbalanced State
When we are in an unbalanced state, our energy attracts and/or creates situations based on the polarities. This makes it more difficult to determine the real issue and what is good or bad, best or worst in the moment.
Often, our own logical assumptions and judgments misguide us to the wrong answer in a particular situation. That’s why we stay stuck.
For David, accepting and strengthening his neutrality to freedom and abundance (to be even with lack of freedom & poverty) is more likely to manifest what he wants and collapse some of the worry he has about spending money.
Our Unique Situations
Assuming David’s scenario is true in other cases related to finances – without energetically testing it – would be misguided.
The answers are specific to the individual and situation. We have to follow the energy, and see what the real energetic weakness and answer is, and strengthen it to neutral.
