The Price of Poverty
published by Self Growth.com

So often we think of poverty and lack in the first person. “I don’t have enough to pay for ... (fill in the blank). “I can't change jobs, or start my own business because (fill in the blank). “I can't do that seminar because ... (fill in the blank).” We justify why we stay stuck, and make it very plausible. Smart people are the biggest offenders. We are adept at creating on the physical level and we want to control the nonphysical level. The art of working with the intangible is a “feeling” thing, not a “doing thing.” Feeling your power ... not getting power. Allowing ... not controlling. Trusting ... not worrying. Listening to your guidance ... not tuning it out.

Our finances are always the easiest excuse we use to avoid our truth. Everyone “gets” that excuse. Like all excuses it is just that, an excuse. A deflection of the truth, to justify nurturing lack of self love, to feed the needs of the ego its necessary diet of fear. Without it ego loses its power ... much like a balloon that deflates when the air is let out. The consciousness of poverty, lack and not enough goes far beyond the individual, and their circumstance. All words and thoughts have a consciousness. When we feed the lack in our own consciousness we feed the consciousness of “collective” lack and poverty. It's like throwing one more
piece of garbage along the roadside, and justifying that it doesn't really matter that we did that. What this really indicates is a consciousness of low self-worth. We dismiss our own value, and our own power. We negate that we are powerful mighty beings just by being born on the planet. When we do not have self-worth, we cannot be abundant and prosperous.

We came from a consciousness that knows only love. When we diss-align ourselves with the truth of who we are, we experience separation from those
vibrations in the form of poor relationships, limited financial well being, and even poor health. In other words, you can't "diss" yourself, and expect to
attract abundance. The price of poverty is that we feed the very consciousness we do not want to have in our lives. We make that consciousness more accessible to everyone as we help grow it with our own thoughts. That is the big “game” that gets played on our planet right now. That the external is the ultimate reality. This is the disease of duality that everyone on this planet is working on. Earth is a learning ground. This is the place we practice trust. This is the place we learn our inner truths. This is the place we fine-tune our vibration, so that when we return to abundant essense we can remain at the higher vibration to experience the benefit of that awareness.

If we don't raise our vibration while we are on the planet, we will surely come back, and try again. This isn't a right or wrong situation. Source does not judge us.
Source does not know how to judge. It is simply love. We will most certainly judge ourselves when we compare ourselves to ourselves at the culmination of our growth experience here on Earth school. Before you dismiss the power of the intangible, consider the price of poverty and the consciousness of lack.
Choose your thoughts, and your words carefully. What you give your attention to is what you will bring into your life. Practice, practice, practice. If you choose to believe in the finite laws of life, you will receive finite limited results in your experience. If you choose to believe in the infinite possibilities of life, then you will be tapping into limitless possibilities in your space. Challenge your perspective. Use your free will wisely.
