In a world shaped by external forces like money, societal expectations, and fear, we are often disconnected from our true selves. To live authentically, we must release outdated beliefs, trust our inner wisdom, and shift from passive desire to active creation — embracing love, vulnerability, and self-worth as our birthright.
. . .
Money is a difficult and complex subject. It is both the medium and the driving force behind the dominant economic system of our civilization: capitalism. It’s not real, yet our entire world revolves around it. The ultra-rich will go to great lengths to protect their wealth — even funding and profiting from wars on both sides of a conflict. Some live off trust funds and investments passed down through generations. Meanwhile, the average person works anywhere from 20 to 110 hours a week to “earn a living.” Others depend on welfare or monthly benefits provided by the state. The homeless simultaneously despise and beg for it. And, of course, there are countless variations in between.
Money epitomizes a fundamental concept underpinning much of our strange reality: the act of assigning value, influence, and power to fleeting thoughts, feelings, and objects. Currency holds value only because Government, Inc. declares it does. By agreeing to this attribution, we allow them to give, take, tax, freeze, and devalue it at will.
Similarly, pain has value because it is felt in our human bodies and feared. Polarity holds value because we long to belong and find meaning. Choosing a side — whether political, social, or spiritual — becomes an attempt to fit in and matter. Polarity also governs our internal psychological processes, shaping our sense of what is right and wrong, normal and abnormal, healthy and in need of healing.
These external forces have long been used to manipulate and focus masculine ideals and energies. The resulting imbalance has defined the world we know today. Now, as we enter an era of balance and recapitulation, the chaos and uncertainty are throwing many into a wild spiritual, emotional, and existential loop.
But lightness requires no effort. It is the very essence of returning to center — our most natural state — through the unbinding of illusory ties to negative energetic anchors.
We carry forward the ideas, beliefs, understandings, and experiences of those who came before us — some of which are even encoded in our genes and blood. (Humans are ~60% water, and water has memory; see the work of Emoto, Schauberger, and Montagnier.) The struggle lies in reconciling these old ways with new understandings and sustaining this integration over time.
In relationships, this era introduces new energies, higher vibrations, and a more evolved understanding of love, communication, equality, and partnership. Yet we still cling to residual ideas that cloud judgment, impair natural trust and intuition, and perpetuate fear of pain and vulnerability. Even in a crowded room, we may feel lonely.
We trust the wanting and the needing, not the having and the achieving. These are old ideas that no longer serve us. We must agree to release them. Only we can shift the polarity within.
We carry the weight of shame, guilt, and resentment over the failed marriages and relational mistakes of our parents and grandparents — along with the scars of unconscious parenting. These burdens, compounded by conflicting desires, can paralyze us. We’ve developed emotional paranoia, a distrust of feeling good, and coping mechanisms we didn’t realize we’d hold on to for life.
But in this age of heightened awareness, information, and energy, we bear the responsibility to process, integrate, and release old hurts, blame, dysfunction, inequity, misunderstanding, powerlessness, shadow play, martyrdom, and victimhood. Understanding the origins of these ancient fallacies, we can reclaim our authority over them.
We can trust ourselves. We can dare greatly. We are capable of having, being, and doing amazing things. We must allow ourselves to be our truest selves. We must recognize that we deserve — and are allowed — to be loved: massively, faithfully, deeply, passionately, purely, and truly, for who and what we are.
There is no question that we belong here, now. There is purpose in returning to this dance, guidance in the timely revelations and spiritual moments of resonance we encounter. Our hearts hold a musical truth.
It is of a love divine. It is what we really are.
Love your life.
P.S. What if this is the life you’ve always wanted? What if you’re doing just fine? What if it’s all going to be OK? What if you are loved, always? What if you are divine, infinite, unshakable, safe, and supernatural? What if there really is nothing to fear? Every breath is a lifetime. Every thought a new reality. Listen to the realness that occasionally hides beneath the banal, inane lies of this matrix. Heed your true impulse, not the filtered, careful one.
