Self Improvement, Money May Pay The Rent But It Can't Buy You Love
Money can't buy love Most everyone has heard the old Beatles song, "money can't buy you love". It's true, money may pay the rent help acquire material positions but it can't satisfy inner emotion. Inner self is satisfied only by a sensation of fulfillment or balance. When the inner self becomes unbalanced, it sends signals to the outer man to repair it. In most cases this signal is misconstrued and the outer person substitutes material possession for an inner desire to be complete.
Indeed money is essential to living a full and productive life but it is not life itself. People should not live for money but rather use money to live. Money has no worth in itself, it is the idea that money contains value which can be exchanged for labor, goods or service and to acquire more of the same. Because money is a material object it can be manipulated by spirit.
Money provides material objects Manipulation of material objects comes through understanding their reasoning. What is monies purpose? Where and why does it exist? Is it for man's better cause? Once the root of money is understood then it can be brought into reality and experienced. Need triggers desire which draws the law of supply.
Money is only a means to satisfy a craving or need. People who crave something strong enough will extort, steal, lie, cheat and even kill for release or satisfaction. All and every derogatory action is a result of inner misunderstanding, frustration or unrest. People who have allowed external things to control internal desire are subject to derangement.
But not is lost there is hope Allowing money to become a controlling factor begins as an inner desire for possession. Desire drives the appetite of motivation for release and robs your soul of hope.
People relate to their reality as events they can experience. An inner desire is indefinable like an itch that you can't scratch. The inability to define inner desire leaves the individual confused and searching for release. The material world is like a pacifier to a baby, it eases the desire and soothes the mind; temporarily subduing the craving. The body thinks it has received its requirement but the mind is not satisfied; the craving continues in a cycle of despair.
Cravings of despair Taking drugs, drinking alcohol, being combative, compulsive behavior any and all defiant or self directed actions are substitutes for lack of inner wholeness. The mind desires its rightful heritage of supremacy. Not in the since of rising above anyone but equality in being. Every human shares the same inner feeling of incompleteness. Their soul cries for material release and supreme understanding. They search and never find because they don't understand or don't detect their real meaning of self.
If we could only stand aside and let the divine law do its diligence. If we could only understand who and what we really are. If, if, if, wonder, doubt anxiety answers never comes to a fractured, bewildered soul. A soul tormented because it is confused, misunderstood and lost. People have become so dependent on their material experience they have lost their true meaning. They are caught in a whirlpool and being pulled into the abyss of dismay.
Dooms mankind to materialization Where is mankind? What has he/she become? Is he/she doomed to never realize his/her true self and completeness? Life has taken on an appearance of materialization. Humans react to outside stimulus and mask inner emotion, not knowingly but because their reality is their outer experience. They have been duped into believing the world is their provider and they are at its mercy. The connection to the world leaves the inner soul craving for awareness because it is only through the inner self that a true connection can be made.
If the outer world can not bring completeness in man then what does? Perhaps the soul craves to connect spirit and material. Maybe just maybe people need to justify their own existence. But the spirit does not seem willing, it cringes and hides like a unwilling child.
Where is Spirit? Spirit is spirit and can only be satisfied by spiritual effects. The soul craves connection to spirit and satisfaction of the whole person. It wants man/woman to enjoy his/her experience through a spiritual understanding of their material connection because in doing so, it is pleased. It wants people to know who supplies and who partakes. In the really world, God is all and through all, and man, well, man's experiences are for God's pleasure.
Because a Devine principle is reveled through human experience, the experience is also Devine. Each and every experience should be seen as Devine revelation. Each experience completes a need to connect material and spirit. We may live in a material world but we exist through spiritual exposure.
Is Spirit only imagination? Most people are so in-tune to the world that they have become that which they imagine. They have become worldly within themselves; they have become their surroundings. They can't experience spirit because they have become detached and don't have a realization of it. They simply don't know it's there or how to excess it . . . mankind is lost. What's the answer? It is not easy to find your way when you have been lost in the desert for a thousand years. The desert has sustained you and the horizon has become fixed. There are no trees, rivers or ocean, only wilderness, sand, sun, heat, trials, despair. Hope is gone, only the drudgery of life continues.
Or truth lost in reality Most people are like that aren't they? They can't experience true life because they don't know what it is. But wait, what if you woke up one morning and the world was a different place - a better place of peace and hope and knowing? What if your soul awoke the reality, the inner person you really are? If this could happen, if there is hope what then? We will see, won't we?
