Aligning with Money's Social Power
Aligning with Money's
Social Power At each point that we are focused on money, expand the perception to self and selfish motives to wider motives affecting others. The more we perceive the social power of money and align ourselves with that wider social movement in a given moment, the more we become instruments for its arrival, both for ourselves and the collectives we are part of.
Self-Multiplication of Money Self-Multiplication of Money through Movement to More Subtle Plane; E.g. Trust -There is the outer, visible gross/material plane. That which is not seen is the subtle plane. The vital/emotional and interactive with others part of the being is somewhat subtle. The mind is moreso. The spirit most of all. -Trust is mostly a mental movement of the mind with a tinge of the vital. It is subtle (whereas a rock is gross/material). -Self-multiplication of money occurs when there is a movement in society to a more subtle plane and therefore view of things. E.g. from vital to mental. -Trust is an example of subtle perception of mind, and therefore enables self-multiplication. Moving to higher subtlety still, i.e. Spirit, enables ultimate self-multiplication of money.

Money and Spirit Why Money is
Indispensable for Spirit A reader asks why money is indispensible for the life of the Spirit, a point of view expressed often by Sri Karmayogi. Here are several thoughts: -Money is a means of organizing and expanding our vital, social existence. If our vital life is developed to the point of prosperity and well-being, the Spirit has a better soil to flourish in. It is parallel to receiving Grace more fully because our nature is more receptive. -Money is also a means of creating greater trust in life. That harmonizing aspect, which enables greater social interaction and wealth, is spiritual in nature. -Thus,
money has the potential to foster
spiritual values like trust, power,
creativity, etc. -Money also enables Man to move beyond survival, takes care of the necessities, so that he can develop a richer psychological and spiritual life within. The more the physical life is developed, the more the inner life can thrive. -Every step in the accumulation of money can be done through Spirit, through consecration of circumstance, which allows wealth to quickly expand in all directions. -Money is a divine
Force in essence. It is Spirit
personified in social
existence. -Money enables the collective to interrelate, cooperate, and integrate. I.e. it is a great Unifying force, which is one of the spiritual aspects that the Infinite Divine seeks to manifest in life. -Going through the process of accumulating money will reveal all of our defects, which we can overcome, and as a result, not only prosper, but grow in the process. It will enable a steady movement in our march towards the Spirit. 12 Points about Money and Wealth 1. Money is indispensable for life as well as spirit. 2. Money is the base for Supermind. 3. Desire for Money is undesirable; desire is always so. 4. Desire is no good, aspiration is admissible. 5. Enthusiastic work yields Money, wealth, prosperity. 6. Intelligent work yields greater wealth. 7. Responsibility and intelligence will enhance results of work. 8. Values and responsibility will raise the yield of intelligent work. 9. Money must move lest it be encrusted 10. It is wealth that makes life a whole and wholesome. 11. Rishi reaching immutable Brahman eschewed wealth. 12. Sadhaks trying to reach integral Brahman will be helped by wealth. (MSS)

Money and Energy, as Force -Money is an economic force. -Money is a divine Force. -Money increases energy in society and enables that energy to be utilized more efficiently. -Money is a symbol of human energy. Money organises that energy and its movement across the society in time and space.
-Money is a vital force representing physical work, under a system created by the mind.
Money and Human Energies
Seeing Money as
Force Makes It Creative
Interplay of Money as Force and Forces of Society -We can trace the interplay of money as force to a force of any facet of society. It gives money greater power, generating more energy, more directed force, better organized power, yielding new results. E.g. just when the credit card appeared where funds can be wired, the Internet (through the computer) appears on the scene to enable such credit card movement.
Money as Symbol of Value Overview

Money as Symbol
of Value
Money as Measure of Wealth; Value
Money as Convention for
Representing Value
Money as Symbol -Money is not a thing, it is only a convention for representing value in the society. It has value because people accept it and have confidence in it. -Because people trust in the symbol and trust in the economic capacity of the society which it represents, the money acquires value. Money is a social convention. -Money is an abstract unit of account in terms of which the value of goods, services and obligations can be measured.
Speed Increases the Value of Money Speed and Money Value of Money
Measurement Increases the Value of Money
Measurement and Money -There does not seem to be any conscious appreciation of the value of tools like the exchange rates, the rate of interest etc. even in the economic sector, at least to the point of instituting more of them or streamlining the existing one. Comprehension of Money increases considerably this way.
Money as
Scale of Measurement
Money and Trust -Money is created by man trusting another and the collectivity. TRUST creates money. TRUST is MONEY. The trust can be extended to a greater number of individuals and the measure of trust can be raised. -Money must be recovered and put at the Feet of the Divine. Money created by Trust will meet this last requirement.
Trust Rising to Infinite Proportion -When money represents invisible Trust without any medium, it rises to infinite proportion.
Trust to Spiritual Trust and Infinite
Results -Since Spirit and Spiritual Trust are infinite, they are capable of enabling infinite results. E.g., Spiritual Trust in transaction can enable this infinite. -Man can move from current mental to Spiritual Trust.

Ultimate Trust Levels of
Trust and Money Power A form of ultimate trust is to give me money to do anything I like with it with trust and intuitive sense that I will use it for the best purposes, and I will in turn trust others and do great things with the money, which will enable me to pay back the bank with 10 times what it lended. In an environment of highest consciousness of non-ego, intuitive sense, ultimate goodness, and use of the Spirit, there is ultimate trust that engenders ultimate exchange and money flow.
Changing the Values of
Money Lending
Institutions from Within
“The financial institutions give money
to the already well off,
but they ignore the
ordinary people and the
poor who cannot get
funding for autos,
shelter, etc. What can
be done?”
There are vast social
forces that have been at
work in the world over
time. In his book
‘Spiritual Opulence,
Karmayogi calls these
the "World Energies." As
a result of the currents
of history, certain
countries have
prospered, while others
have remained behind.
The institutions of
those poor nations,
including the banks,
reflect the paucity of
the social milieu they
are part of. They have
limited funds and
therefore have little to
lend.
In addition, banks have
consciously or not
subscribed to certain
social values which
equally determine their
lending propensities. We
see that particularly
when it comes to the
value of “trust.” Banks
tend to lend to those
who already are in
relatively good
condition, and avoid
those they believe
cannot repay; i.e. whom
they do not trust to
refund their loans. In
this way, the negative
conditions of haves and
have nots is
perpetuated.
And yet, we as
Individuals are also
capable of shaping our
world. There is an
infinite Power hidden
within us that can have
a powerful bearing on
the conditions of our
lives; particularly our
immediate circle.
However, we are also
Universal beings who are
also capable of
eliciting positive
response for the
collective, including
the organizations and
institutions we are part
of or partake in.
Through inner spiritual
means, we can attract
positive conditions for
the world, including the
lending propensities of
banks. If we open to and
add the spiritual Force
to the dynamic, we can
evoke startling positive
outcomes from those or
related institutions. IT
CAN BE DONE. We can
change the world around
us, including the
conditions of the widest
collective of
individuals, including
region and country, from
within.
Here are a few
strategies to change the
current impossibilities
of the collective into
living realities; e.g.
changing a callous
lender to an open,
trusting one, who is
truly committed to those
without, including the
poor and the common man.
The first is to see the
outer limitation of the
lender in a
corresponding limitation
in ourselves. For
example, if I discover
that I am not a
particularly trusting
person, and change that
attitude, it can evoke
positive conditions not
only for one’s self, but
it can vibrate out and
alter the lending values
of the financial
institutions around us.
By changing our attitude
within, we evoke a
corresponding response
by the once reluctant,
untrusting, fearful
lender. If we also add
the spiritual Force to
the dynamic the results
can be overwhelming. I
have seen it a number of
times in my life.
Another strategy is to
actually seek employment
in the institution
itself, while bringing
the spiritual Force to
bear in those
activities. For example,
I find employment in a
lending institution,
rising as manager in the
firm, while aspiring for
the organization to
change its lending
practices. As a result,
life outside us will
begin to move. The local
institution may change;
even the whole
organization may
suddenly see a shift in
attitude and values. It
may then spread
throughout the nations
and the world.
A third strategy is to
become fully familiar
with the money lending
habits of the
institutions. I.e. to
know in detail the
issues involved, the
problems raised, the
potential solutions,
which formulate in one’s
mind as an integral
knowledge regarding the
situation. If that
matter is offered to the
Spirit for
transmutation, and our
aspiration for that
change is intense, Life
will yield. The
intractable problem will
suddenly resolve itself.
It will appear to occur
out of the blue, and in
the most unexpected
ways. I have seen this
dynamic at work first
hand; evoking several
spectacular
results from
the collective that
affected millions.
Keep in mind that banks
and similar institutions
are also going through
their own evolutionary
changes. They are
gradually raising their
social values and
beliefs; and in this
particular case, are
extending their trust
even to those they were
once wary of. Micro
loans to the poor are an
example. Loans to Indian
woman are another. When
the US and world
financial system nearly
collapsed due to
excessive lending, it
was ironically due to
the fact that banks were
now willing to lend
money to poor people to
buy houses in the
suburbs in America. It
was A SIGNIFICANTLY
HIGHER VALUE on the part
of the banks. It only
led to disaster because
of greed and
non-regulation of the
parties involved across
the world financial
system. The original
value and intent itself
however was highly
laudable. There are thus many levels of force at work in the movement of the Energies of Life -- individual, collective, cosmic. We can use our inner power as well as that of the Cosmic realms to change conditions for ourselves and the collectives we are part of. There are many real-world examples I know of where this has occurred. Others might consider it miraculous, but we know it is a practical power of the Individual Self and the Spirit. Recently associates of mine have been working hard to develop a New Economics with the Individual Human at the center of life. They have developed much content, and are traveling the world to make this knowledge known at various global forums. Several of them are using the spiritual Force to try to gain perfect knowledge in the field, as well as move life to adopt their profound insights. Already there are signs that it is having an effect. Perhaps the recent upheaval in the Middle East toward democratization and economic opportunity for the common man is a result. We are capable of moving life around us from within, including any collective, such as a financial institution, so long as we develop the intense will to make it happen. This astonishing capacity will become a practical method of the future; an indication that we have truly embarked on A New Way of Living.
The Infinite Power of Harmony
There are a number of
expressions of the Spirit in life. Silence, Being-ness, Truth,
Wisdom, Timelessness, Infinity, Goodness, Love, Beauty, and
Delight are several. Perhaps the most essential and basic is
Harmony, whose higher expression is Oneness and Unity of being.
For the Infinite consciousness, every and all things are
interlocked in an essential Harmony and Oneness. And yet out of
that essential Unity, a universe of infinitely diverse forms was
created, including we humans. It is the same in our own
individual and collective lives. When we bring greater harmony
to bear through our relationship with others and the world, we
generate a vast creative power for accomplishment for ourselves
and others. Take modern day Europe, where the Euro has suddenly become the world's strongest currency. That's the case because several nations came together to forge a financial alliance: in essence, a collaborative movement of harmony. That harmonic effort has produced a financial instrument that has garnered the greatest respect and purchasing power in the world. It is the power that harmony generates that has propelled the Euro to its lofty position.
On the other hand, across the channel, the British have been
unwilling to participate in the Euro, putting its own purchasing
power at risk. Even the mighty US currency has fallen behind the
Euro. Subconsciously perceiving the power of collaboration and
cooperation (two practical expressions of harmony) now the Asian
financial community is considering a currency of its own. If
they adopt it, it will likely generate a (further) boon for that
region as well. This suggests that a global currency
would create infinite-like financial and economic well-being for
the world, since it would issue from a higher harmony that
integrates all nations.
Wherever harmony is created, energy and power is
released. When the colonies of the US came together over 200
years ago, it resulted in the greatest economic, political, and
military power in world history. But it is not only nations that
gain power when disparate elements come together. So do other
collectives -- including institutions, businesses, communities,
down to the individual family. The more harmony created among
their parts and people, the greater the power and results
generated.
Harmony intensifies the positive bonds between
people and things, focusing energy and releasing power for
accomplishment. We can see this in macro events like nations
forming, but also in micro events such as our daily work
experiences. For example, we have all participated in meetings
over the course of our careers. When most successful, it is
often because a deeper connection and bond was created among the
staff -- e.g. through mutual respect, by genuinely focusing on
the contributions of others, and via collaborative decisions for
future action. When we come out of these meetings, our energy
skyrockets and our work efforts produce impressive results. In
essence, the harmonic movement has created a new burst of
collective energy now shared by each participant -- enabling
individual and collective achievement. Interestingly that
success often comes about through instances of sudden good
fortune.
Similarly, any two individuals are capable of
creating this sort a harmonic bond. For example, greater harmony
in romantic relationships can produce the deepest form of love
between partners. Each lover's willingness to forget him or
herself, adoring the other for its own sake can generate a tidal
wave of romantic energy resulting in an intense bond and
affection that can last a lifetime.
The opposite of harmony is each party moving in its
own direction, focusing on its own interests at the expense of
the needs of the ''Other,"¯ attracting negative conditions. For
example, when the fascist juggernaut began to move across Europe
at the outset of WWII, the ''good"¯ nations were unable to
collaborate in any coherent way. That lack of harmony
strengthened the enemy, who were then able to run roughshod
across the continent. It was only the extreme collaboration and
bravery of the British people, and the cooperative effort of the
US and Europe that saved the world from that greatest of all
evils.
The question is then how can we be in that state of
consciousness that would allow us to be more connected and One
with life around use. The answer is that the more we live in the
deeper parts of our being, rather than the surface of life, the
greater will be our affinity, connection, and harmony with our
surroundings, including the people we interact with.
But how do we move to that silent state, that
witness consciousness that would enable to us feel more
connected with the world and others? We can begin to build that
new inner status by constantly opening ourselves to the
spiritual Force. When we offer and consecrate upcoming
activities in our lives, offering that act to the Higher Power,
not only are the conditions of life quickly set right, but we
develop an ever-wider opening to our deeper Self. As we come to
know those profound Silent and Still parts within, we experience
an ever-increasing bond with things outside ourselves, including
the situations we encounter and the people we interact with. As
a result of these harmonic experiences, we not only generate a
vast power for success, but deep inner joy and fulfillment.
This being the case, why not ask yourself this: In
what areas of my life can I create greater harmony? If you
determine what that is and then make a sincere effort to bring
it about, you will not only generate a vast power for
accomplishment, but you will experience deep, inner fulfillment,
as the separation between yourself and life will melt away into
a blissful Oneness.

Evolution of
Money: Money as Mere Thing, Transaction, Organization
and Its Power -Money in time became a transaction, which generates some trust. -Money becoming an organization. The Coordinated, systematic action of organization generates a greater power.
Evolution of Money -The result of evolution to urbanism is that money has matured into productive, creative social power.
What Money Represents at Each Stage in Society -The perception of Money as organization represents the organized power of the society of that period. -The perception of Money further on represents the wealth of the society and its power to create Social Power.
Evolution of Money from Thing in
Village to Social Power through Urbanism -The result of evolution to urbanism is that money has matured into productive, creative social power.
Evolution of Money
from Economic, Vital Power to Trust to Its True Nature -Now money is going beyond even property, on productive power, and is going towards Trust, a vital power based on mental understanding. -Beyond trust, money power will be created by a mental understanding of what money really is. -Whichever country moves this way will be the next center of world power.Money in Stages of Survival, Growth, Development
For coins to be accepted by the
population is survival. Growing into all sections of population is
growth. (I.e. it is the same, expanding.) Being replaced by currency is
development. (I.e. it is a change to a higher level.) Money that is an
article of economic significance beginning to play a social role in
politics to secure power is its evolution as Money. (I.e. it is a
movement to a whole new level.) Money as Social Power
Money As Social Force and Power
Aligning with Money's Social Power Aligning with Money's Social Power If we can widen ourselves and see money related to us as related to the wider social collective, we are part of, money will flood all the participants. At each point that we are focused on money, expand the perception to self and selfish motives to wider motives affecting others. The more we perceive the social power of money and align ourselves with that wider social movement in a given moment, the more we become instruments for its arrival, both for ourselves and the collectives we are part of.
Aligning with Money's
Social Power From another perspective, we attract money by developing a different orientation toward the meaning and purpose of Money itself. Money exists not for mere human consumption or to serve our seperative, individual needs, but for wider social purpose -- including greater social development and progress in the world. At the point where we change our perspective about Money from being a mere means to an end or just a transaction of exchange at the physical level, to it serving a great social purpose and utility at the vital level, we move into harmony with its intent in the world. As a result, we open ourselves to it coming in floods from corresponding points in space and time. Money is a social power. Its purpose is to serve the wider aspirations and values of the collective life. They in turn serve to fulfill the Higher Purpose of the Infinite consciousness on earth. Each time we tap into Money power through our higher consciousness efforts -- i.e. by making inner, psychological shifts toward the positive -- we become instruments for the Infinite and its purposes. By aligning with Money's Social Power, we not only draw more of it to us, but we fulfill the Divine intention for ever-greater social progress and evolution on earth.
Money as Social Leveler Money as Social Leveler -Money is an organization that is a social leveler. -Money is a social leveler, as other social organizations are -- such as education, transport, sports, etc. -Money is an even greater leveler than education, transport, sports, etc. because its activities relate to other social functions more readily. -Money brings some democracy and equality into Man's life. It dignifies his life a bit.
Money as Social Leveler
Money and Power of Strong and Weak in Society
Money Transfer Power from Weak to Strong, and Vice Versa -The transfer is normally in favour of the strong, those who enjoy the social patronage. It is a social transition. When the society decides to shift the power from aristocracy to the commoner, Money again acts as an instrument of transfer of power from the aristocrats to the commoner. Always Money serves the social ideal.
The Positive and Negative in Society
and Money
Money's
Neutrality that Reflects the Social Positive or Negative -Money is neutral in its constructions, not in its actions. It will act fully positive or negative depending on the society's character.
The Positive and
Negative of Society and Money -Man can be conscious of the positive and negative capacity of money, avoiding the latter. -The positive capacity of Money helps the society forge ahead by relating it to other aspects of society and pressing them all to integrate so that the progress can be fast, comprehensive, cover wider distances and produce more powerful results. -Man can play a CONSCIOUS role in the society preventing Money from seeking the negative experience for its maturity.
Money,
Power, Its Control, Aristocracy -Money is an instrument of transfer of capacity that is power. This is an evolutionary role in the society. -Money brings power, prestige, and knowledge (through education). This is the aristocracy.
Anachronistic Forces and Money Overcoming Negative Perceptions of New Developments We must also be vigilant of opposing forces to new powers of society. (E.g., paper currency was originally opposed when it appeared in the US.) Any successful development will complete only when the negative side is faced and overcome.

Composite Money and Society -Money is social power. -Money represents a social force and governs it.
-Money represents
the social value of productive capacity. -Money helps society more fully utilize its resources and create resources that are not there. -Money enables the collective to widen itself further in space. -Money is an organisation of social energies. -Money increases energy in society and enables that energy to be utilized more efficiently. -Money organises human energy and its movement across the society in time and space. -Money has been inextricably integrated with every existing organisation such as family, community, education, army, government, transport and communication, sports, tourism, banking, trade, etc. -Money has exhibited this capacity to evolve with the times. -Money has evolved from being an economic organisation to social institution.
Money and Society -Money is a symbol of (i.e. represents) social vitality. -Money represents all the vitality of social existence, functioning, and life. It represents the vital power of society. -Money represents at the start, social products, and moves on to represent the productivity of society. -As the productive power of society, Money refines into social, then political, then cultural, then religious, and then all the powers of society. -To discover the symbolic powers of Money, to know how it has been built up so far and how much more it can be raised in the social progress is a rewarding exercise for the emerging Individual. -The process by which society evolves and money acquires its power is the same process as the process of creation in the universe.

Money, Social Aspiration, and Development
Money and Organization -Money organises the various powers of the society with itself as the centre. -Money organises human energy and its movement across the society in time and space. -Money has all of the common characteristics of an organization. It facilitates transactions. It helps society more fully utilize its resources and create resources that are not there. It is based on standardization and systems. It extends enormous benefits to the individual user. -The value of money depends directly on the level of this organization. The more developed it becomes, the greater the productive power of money. -Money has evolved from being an economic organisation to social institution. -Money, like any other organisation gradually integrates with every other organisation. Money integrating with credit expands nine-fold. -With every new organisation coming into existence, or every new additional power an organisation acquires, all the existing social organisations avail of its benefit to rise further. In this view, the power of money, its availability, in quantity and quality has increased. It indirectly means the power of the individual or society to create money has further increased.

Evolving Power -With every new organisation coming into existence, or every new additional power an organisation acquires, all the existing social organisations avail of its benefit to rise further. In this view, the power of money, its availability, in quantity and quality has increased. It indirectly means the power of the individual or society to create money has further increased.
Money and Subtle Power of
Organization -The organization of money lies in the fact that a function has been converted into symbolic money. -As money becomes (higher) organization, it can relate to other activities, making it a higher instrument.
Mind that is Organization Multiplies
Money -Mind can multiply because it can organize. -Money is essentially a creation of Mind -- and as such, a product of organization. -Money organizes what Man produces, and his energy to produce. -Mind gives money subtle capacity. It knows that Money not just as a thing, but as a symbol of organization that is capable of expansion, multiplication, and even self-multiplication. -Money represents the highest formulation of power emerging from integration of organizations. The perception of Money as a mere thing represents products for society.
Plane from Which Money Originates
Money and Understanding of Organization -Money is a mental organization of vital power used to relate with each other (?) facilitating the growth of the collective by the individual movement. -With a wider, stronger, richer understanding of a particular organization, its capacity to create money rises in proportion. -Through greater understanding, organization becomes creative and it makes ideas creative of Money. Hire purchase, insurance, credit card, 60-year house mortgage came into existence this way. -When a new organization is born, it gradually integrates with other organizations, creating a burst of energy for itself and the other organizations at each point where it integrates. Money integrates, vibrates with, and energizes other organizations.

Mind that is Organization Multiplies
and Self-Multiplies Money -Mind can multiply because it can organize. -Money is essentially a creation of Mind -- and as such, a product of organization. -Money organizes what Man produces, and his energy to produce. -Mind gives money subtle capacity. It knows that Money not just as a thing, but as a symbol of organization that is capable of expansion, multiplication, and even self-multiplication. -Money represents the highest formulation of power emerging from integration of organizations. The perception of Money as a mere thing represents products for society.
Multiplication of Money -At a very high level, Man can be conscious of the inner endowments of money, which are much vaster. He sees that all the powers of society are inside; which enables self-multiplication power. -Money becoming more subtle is more powerful; rising to infinite proportion through invisible trust. -As money becomes more subtle -- i.e. less material and visible -- it becomes more powerful. -When money represents invisible Trust without any medium, it rises to infinite proportion.
Self-Multiplication of Money
Self-Multiplication of Money
through Movement to More Subtle Plane; E.g. Trust
Key Composite Statement -Trust is mostly a mental movement of the mind with a tinge of the vital. It is subtle (whereas a rock is gross/material). -Self-multiplication of money occurs when there is a movement in society to a more subtle plane and therefore view of things. E.g. from vital to mental. -Trust is an example of subtle perception of mind, and therefore enables self-multiplication. Moving to higher subtlety still, i.e. Spirit, enables ultimate self-multiplication of money.
Self-Multiplication of Money -Moving from physical view of money to the trust of mind enables self-multiplication. -In the physical plane, money represents property where there is inherent limitation of expansion. At the vital level of human interaction and capacity, there is less limitation. At the level of mind, money represents trust. -The trust (of mind) can expand infinitely in society to create endless money. Money Self-Multiplication -Money reached that point in the 1980s, 1990 -- mainly (?) because of the computer and Internet. -Every aspect of the society that touches money will energize money further, and they are further energized by money.
Self-Multiplication and the Self of Society, the Individual High Values toward Money and Its Self-Multiplication Power The story of how a single $100 bill gets circulated a dozen times and solves many people’s debts demonstrates the power of Trust, which reflects the Power of Oneness. When the Oneness becomes intense -- i.e. when we are not bothered or suspicious of others, but instead fully trust others as well as the currency -- not only can a little do a lot, as in the story, but money self-multiplies. In America vast hordes of cash without debt are piling up, particularly in Silicon Valley. Well over a trillion US dollars are there building up in the coffers of its companies. It is because of Values; values to do the work, -- revolutionary technological work and innovation that aids the society, and not care about the money that comes -- which ironically causes it to arrive overwhelmingly. Money circulates faster and takes on new dimensions and powers when the Trust amongst the participants increases. A man not attached to money who works hard for the collective, will see money come in spades, in unprecedented new ways, particularly in a fresh, dynamic, supportive environment. It is because he trusts in the flow of money behind the scenes. Whatever the instrument behind the scene the money takes, he accepts it, because his focus is on the work at hand. This is what they do in Silicon Valley to a large extent. In the 500 one-hour Star Trek episodes I've been watching, money is second thought in this future world. Everyone does the work in their chosen field, and funds (and other resources) are readily available for anyone in the measure they need it. The values have radically evolved from our current humanity. There are high human values associated with Money in the Federation. Still human nature is wanting in other areas, and they are working out those karmas, which is what most of the stories are about. Yet they have the right general outlook for infinite-like success, for individual and social progress, far beyond what we see today in the world. Money is a social power that increases with Trust. At a certain point that Trust matures to a point that money self-multiplies. We are now entering that territory. It circulates faster and faster, even with little funds, or generates massive funds from little -- as in the story. It enables billions to pile up from seemingly out of nowhere as in Silicon Valley. However, the message is not to be attached to Money, but instead we should focus on the work at hand, in being self-giving in works, to help others derive benefit. How many of us can do the work in that Spirit? We think first about how we can support our families, how we can please them, how the entire entity can move up. And yet it is only by forgetting money for ourselves and our families, and doing the work in the right spirit, for its own sake, for its needs, that attracts hordes of cash and endless opportunities. That attitude and value makes it self-multiply in our sphere of influence. Just ask the endless millionaires and billionaires in Silicon Valley. Multiplier Effect and Pioneer Multiplier effect [in social development] takes place when the pioneer is accepted as a leader.
Self-Multiplication through Divinity of
Money
Money Multiplication -Money multiplies with speed of transaction. When it moves through banks and then is distributed as credit, it multiplies ten times or more. -Banks create money by loaning it. Money, like any other organisation gradually integrates with every other organisation. Money integrating with credit expands nine-fold. -The more that system [money is related to] is organized, is developed creatively, the more money can expand. -The nations of the world need to circulate their money; i.e. not horde it, to eliminate energy blockage, and to enable its multiplier effect to take root.
Money Self-Multiplication -At the point money enters the subtle plane in a society as a force to be felt, it begins to self-multiply. From 1990 it is doing so. -Money has gone into the phase of self-multiplying. Individuals who understand that phenomenon will be qualified to introduce themselves into that phase in their lives. -One who is not possessed by money freely spending the money fast through the highest medium existing is one who will multiply his money fastest. -The nations of the world need to circulate their money; i.e. not horde it, to eliminate energy blockage, and to enable its multiplier effect to take root.
Self-Multiplication of Money -Self -multiplication follows the principle inside, when the separated many join together in union in oneness which releases the Power of the Self.
Subtle
Money Rising to Infinite Proportion -As money becomes more subtle -- i.e. less material and visible -- it becomes more powerful. -When money represents invisible Trust without any medium, it rises to infinite proportion.
Multiplication and Self-Multiplication -How banks introduced multiplication is one point. Trust in the dollar spilling over the border of USA which witnessed the phenomenon of self-multiplication is another. -The Euro's value rising due to increasing membership in EU, and the growth in the population (of an area) is another point of Self-multiplication.
Trust to Spiritual Trust and Infinite Results -Since Spirit and Spiritual Trust are infinite, they are capable of enabling infinite results. E.g., Spiritual Trust in transaction can enable this infinite. -Man can move from current mental to Spiritual Trust.
Self-Multiplication and Self
Creative Capacity of Money See Money as Force to Make Money Creative -Seeing money as a Force will enable us to see that fresh money is being created all of the time. I.e. Money can be elevated to a productive point of pure creativity. -Seeing money as an organization, we see new organizations created.
Creative Power of Money -Money can be creative in ways that create more of it, or of a higher order. -Money can be socially creative to raise the quality of any other sector.

Capitalism, Socialism, and Current Financial Crisis
Seeing Money as Mere Currency
Need for International
Regulators There is currently some regulation over speculative monetary activity of US financiers, though not enough. There also needs to be international regulation of such global speculation as well. What is needed is a World Regulatory body, and soon. The Federal Reserve in the wake of abuse that led to the Great Depression serves the role to stabilize finances in the US. It has decent if not perfect success. There is no such body for the world, for the international flow of money -- threatening abuse, and the greater nemesis of global panic and depression.
Solutions to World Financial Crisis 2. Man -- the human individual -- not money must move to the center of life. 3. Greed and speculation brought about the Great Depression and opened the door to Hitler and WWII leading to 70 million dead. This must change, or we are destined to repeat, but in a New Way. 4. Ego is the cause of greed and our unwillingness to change. It is at the root of all selfishness, which is in every one of us. That must change. 5. Rampant materialisms must come to an end, ushering in higher human and spiritual values. 6. Unfortunately, disastrous circumstance is the fastest way to change things; to overcome our fixed ways that do not want to change. If we don’t take to several of the suggestions above, then life will brutally do it for us, forcing us to change. It is Nature's (i.e. Life's) painful method.
Transition from California Gold Rush to
UN and Silicon Valley
After the Gold Rush in California in 1849 there was unbelievable
corruption, debauchery, and criminal
activity amongst the people who arrived
from fifty nations. Only a series of
disasters overcame their virulent
physical consciousness. It disappeared
almost completely 150 years later, when
downriver emerged the United Nations and
Silicon Valley.
On Overcoming Corruption
-Corruption is not a disease, but a symptom of faster social
development than the social structures
can support.
-Obviously prosperity emerges first and the restraining social
structures later.
-Corruption will finally disappear only when man develops
self-respect out of education and
prosperity.(Karmayogi, extracted)
Money and the Individual Valuing the Individual and Money
Valuing the Individual and Rise of Money -As we move more and more to the recognition of the value of the individual, money power accelerates. It moves toward infinity when we recognize the value of the Psychological and Spiritual Man. -The more society has come to recognize the inherent value and potential of the human being, the more productive the individual, society and money have become. -America is valued in her financial position, thus money moves to her in buckets. The individual is trusted and thus valued through these system of banking deposits and loans. It creates self-multiplication. Thus, money moves toward that which is valued. -The ultimate foundation for the value of money is not material wealth but the value of human beings.
The Individual's Consciousness and Money
Individual Consciousness and Money
-Mentally, humans are slaves of money. -One who does not focus his value on money, can possess it; while one who values it is possessed by it. -The highest medium through which money can pass for the highest growth is the consciousness of man who is not possessed by money. -The centre of life is MAN and not MONEY, but money has usurped that power and man is a willing tool it its hands which is his own creation. -As money makes one produce the maximum he can create, money becomes an instrument for the individual to maximise his effort and through it his being. -Money has gone into the phase of self-multiplying. Individuals who understand that phenomenon will be qualified to introduce themselves into that phase in their lives. From Ego to Money as Social Power -Man is a slave to money. -If Man sees Money as a social power rather than merely as an instrument of his own selfishness and ego, he will have all the money he needs or wants, and money power will explode across the world. Money and the Positive & Negative of the Individual -Money can integrate with positive or negative forces of society. -Money is neutral; i.e. not inherently good or bad. Only people (and their character) make it so. -Man can change his character, consciousness to overcome dark money, enabling life to respond positively -One who has earned money wrong -- evading taxes, through bribery, anti-social behavior, etc. -- can reverse his consciousness. -If an individual changes himself inwardly and submits to an organization, the change from earning dark money to white will become permanent. -If man changes his character, money will only produce, will have a white character. -Money can integrate with positive or negative forces of society. Evolution of Individual Out of Unconsciousness Will Attract Money -The individual seeking money must really try to be NOT what he is. -Use rational thought; do not seek to possess, or seek comfort; do what life gives, not what we wish; don't complain about others, only of your own limited nature; be self-giving and aspire that others have luck; see that the outer is a refection of your inner condition; etc. An individual will make tons of money if he does so. -He needs to be sincere in his efforts. He must have sincerity of emotional understanding with respect to money values in his mind. Doing so, all money due to his consciousness will move towards him. The inner sincerity will be reflected in outer response from life. Not Seeking It Attracts Higher Order Money Money of a higher order comes to a man who does not seek it. Money and the Individual To discover the symbolic powers of Money, to know how it has been built up so far and how much more it can be raised in the social progress is a rewarding exercise for the emerging Individual. Aligning with Wider Social Sphere
in Our Relationship to Money If we can widen ourselves and see money related to us as related to the wider social collective, we are part of, money will flood all the participants. At each point that we are focused on money, expand the perception to self and selfish motives to wider motives affecting others. The more we perceive the social power of money and align ourselves with that wider social movement in a given moment, the more we become instruments for its arrival, both for ourselves and the collectives we are part of.

Why Money is
Indispensable for Spirit A reader asks why money is indispensible for the life of the Spirit, a point of view expressed often by Sri Karmayogi. Here are several thoughts: -Money is a means of organizing and expanding our vital, social existence. If our vital life is developed to the point of prosperity and well-being, the Spirit has a better soil to flourish in. It is parallel to receiving Grace more fully because our nature is more receptive. -Money is also a means of creating greater trust in life. That harmonizing aspect, which enables greater social interaction and wealth, is spiritual in nature. -Thus,
money has the potential to foster
spiritual values like trust, power,
creativity, etc. -Money also enables Man to move beyond survival, takes care of the necessities, so that he can develop a richer psychological and spiritual life within. The more the physical life is developed, the more the inner life can thrive. -Every step in the accumulation of money can be done through Spirit, through consecration of circumstance, which allows wealth to quickly expand in all directions. -Money is a divine
Force in essence. It is Spirit
personified in social
existence. -Money enables the collective to interrelate, cooperate, and integrate. I.e. it is a great Unifying force, which is one of the spiritual aspects that the Infinite Divine seeks to manifest in life. -Going through the process of accumulating money will reveal all of our defects, which we can overcome, and as a result, not only prosper, but grow in the process. It will enable a steady movement in our march towards the Spirit. Self-Multiplication through Divinity
of Money
Trust to Spiritual Trust and Infinite Results -Since Spirit and Spiritual Trust are infinite, they are capable of enabling infinite results. E.g., Spiritual Trust in transaction can enable this infinite. -Man can move from current mental to Spiritual Trust.
Spiritual
Strategies
Towards Money
Understanding,
Perceptions of Money
Understanding Money -The creative energy that multiplies money is with the New Force, not anything that is old in any guise. -It requires observations of Money as a social vibration that energized, organizes, and newly creates it. -As an organization, we have to see how Money integrates, vibrates with, and energizes other organizations. -We see how Money impacts at every point: e.g. against the hard crust of vital vested interest or material darkness, to let the infinite emerge. -We can see this if we have insight, all the way up to intuition.
Our
Perceptions of Money Releases Its Infinite Capacity -When perceived as a mere thing, money eludes us. When it is perceived as a transaction, it comes to a strong person with an outgoing attitude. When it is perceived as organization, it comes to a person with a strong inner organization. When it is perceived Further on, the wealth of the society and its power to create Social Power comes.
Being Conscious of
Money's Power -At every landmark of Money's growth -- grain receipt, bank credit, discounting of bills, packing credit, working capital, term loan, credit card, unsecured loans, free giving away of Money -- Man grows more conscious of the inherent power of Money. -At a very high level, Man can be conscious of the inner endowments of money, which are much vaster. He sees that all the powers of society are inside; which enables self-multiplication power.
Money Expansion and Ultimate
Trust
Money and Understanding of Organization -Money is a mental organization of vital power used to relate with each other (?) facilitating the growth of the collective by the individual movement. -With a wider, stronger, richer understanding of a particular organization, its capacity to create money rises in proportion. -Through greater understanding, organization becomes creative and it makes ideas creative of Money. Hire purchase, insurance, credit card, 60-year house mortgage came into existence this way. -When a new organization is born, it gradually integrates with other organizations, creating a burst of energy for itself and the other organizations at each point where it integrates. Money integrates, vibrates with, and energizes other organizations.
Perception of
Money as Force Makes Money Creative -Seeing money as a Force will enable us to see that fresh money is being created all of the time. I.e. Money can be elevated to a productive point of pure creativity.
The
Individual Understanding Money
Awareness of Money -Seeing how Money progressed through organization will reveal enormous potentials for it. -Perceiving every point of evolutionary change for money reveals its highest aspects, including self-multiplication. -When that point of evolution is identified, the process of Self-multiplication will be almost a revelation.
From Subconscious
to Conscious Awareness of Money -One who is writing on Money will do well to describe each role of Money in its subconscious origin and its transition to the conscious form in the society. E.g., trade originated in the village fairs which had its origins in barter among neighbours. Music has its origins in the joy of the sound. Banks' beginnings can be seen in chit fund. -Being conscious [of money] is not mere horizontal expansion, i.e. more of the same (growth), but enables vertical creative expansion of it. -Multiplication accepts the external energy, the external form and the external field. Self-Multiplication transfers the external to the internal, the social to the psychological, and changes from Nature to Self.

Computerization of Money Principles Dynamic Money Flow System (DMFS) Imagine that there is a mortgage lending portal representing the activity of mortgage loans. Say it is a 3 dimensional circle or oval. There are various pipes coming into it and going out of it. The same for banking, finance, and other aspects of the economy/money in society. Each portal is connected to other related ones through pipes. E.g. the mortgage lending portal has a pipe coming into it from banking and a pipe going out of it for finance. (The customer makes a loan through a lending company like Countrywide, which is underwritten by a bank, and then the money passes onto institutions like Bear Stearns for investment purposes.) Pipes contain the energy and influence of portals on one another. The greater the influence, the thicker the pipe (and/or different color). Influence can be determined by energy, the intensity of the relationship, the influence, and other factors. There are also portals of governing bodies. So the Federal Reserve portal has a strong pipe going out of it into Banks (securing their money, as well as determining regulation), while it does not or has a lesser one going into the Mortgage Refinancers (as is unfortunately the case now). It is obvious that there are weaknesses in the current system (as when there is no Fed support or regulation behind the mortgage refinancers.) We can thus have a second theoretical model that is better attuned to the needs of the society. As the society adopts these improvements, the first model is updated with these additions. It can be a single change, or more than one. Now that the influences are changed, the pipes reflect it. (E.g. now that the Fed has stricter rules for mortgage refinancers, the pipe from the refinancers to Wall Street hedge funds are altered, e.g. shrunk, and has a different color.) In this way, we are able to create a better model for society. It can be extended of course to the international level. Now let us say that behind this there are principles of money. (Or, more specifically, it can be principles of banking, finance, et al that are influenced by more our higher order principles of money.) E.g. in our theoretical model (model 2), we can add more Trust for the banks in dealing with the small borrower. Likewise, we can add reduced self-interest and ego as a finance principle. As we apply values the model/system corrects, and we can see the results. Portals may get larger or deeper indicating the positive effect on them as a result of these higher value and principles of money. Pipes may change thickness or color, depending on the intensity of the new relationships that exist between the portals that they abridge, etc. As we see the result in the theoretical 2nd model, we apply that part to the actual working model (model 1). This can be used as a method to show the affect of right money values and principles on the system -- i.e. a ''What If"¯ tool -- or it can be used as a working system/model that the broadest of agencies can use -- such as a true international monetary authority. The purpose is to visualize the power of money values and principles on the system, in terms of economic expansion, smooth economic flow without recessions and other disturbances, showing how the system could self-multiply, etc. etc.
Summations of Money
The Evolution and Expansion of Money, and Human Consciousness -Money emerged from the Energy that is the basis of the universe. -That energy originated in the Conscious Force of the Supreme. -Money is therefore ultimately a spiritual force. -Money is a means of exchange. -Money is the basis of transactions. -It started as a thing (bartered goods) to a symbol (as gold, then coin, then credit).-When money was a thing it reflected our physical consciousness. Our own needs, the needs of the clan were primary. When it move to a symbol, it indicates a an embracing of wider possibilities in life. -At each point in the transformation of money from thing to symbol, there is an inversion to a higher consciousness; a widening beyond self and ego, to others. -It can also be stated as an ever-widening trust to ever-widening circles of society. -Money should not be possessed. -Rather, it should be allowed to circulate. -The more it circulates, the more good it does, i.e. the greater the benefit. -Also the more it circulates, the more money it generates. -After a while, it can even become self-multiplying. It is beginning to do so in the world. -The more we trust, the more it circulates and hence the greater the benefit; and the more money is produced. -Man first worked without an organization to do transactions. However, to create security, as well as to expand circulation to wider elements of society, he enjoined the institution of the bank. -We trust banks with our money. They trust us when they give us loans.-Money therefore circulates to new borrowers through banks up to several cycles. -Giving micro loans to people who have no money currently to pay back is an example further trust. -More trust means more money circulation. -The more we move out of ego, possessiveness, the more trust there is, and the more it circulates. -When we move to our deepest consciousness, we have complete trust to lend, borrow, and therefore facilitate money circulation. Money then circulates and expand in infinite-like fashion. -To see money as an infinity, not a limited thing or even a symbol, but as a force reflecting the Infinite consciousness that it is a product of allows it to circulate, expand, and multiply infinitely. -When we overcome limited attitudes, selfish motives, open to the spiritual dimensions of life, and perceive the Infinity inherent in money, we enable ultimate money force in the world.
Summary of Thoughts on
Money
-It is a means of exchange
-It should not be possessed.
-Rather, it should be allowed to circulate.
-The more it circulates, the more good it does, i.e. the greater
benefit.
-Also the more it circulates, the more money it generates.
-After a while, it can even become self-multiplying. It is beginning to
do so in the world
-Man is a slave to money.
-When he comes out of ego, he lets free flow of money -- i.e.
circulation and benefit.
-One way money circulates is through trust.
-The more we trust the more it circulates and hence the greater the
benefit; and the more money is produced.
-Banks trust us when we make loans. We trust them with our money.
-Money therefore circulates to new borrowers through banks up to four
cycles.
-Giving micro loans to people who have no money currently to pay back is
further trust.
-When we move to our deepest consciousness, we have complete trust to
lend, borrow, and therefore facilitate money circulation.
-There are strategies to attract money to us aside from deep trust,
-When money comes to us, we should not horde it. Spend it wisely
however.
-To insure money comes to us, make sure we pay every bill exactly as
necessary, on time.
-We should keep our accounts exactly up to date. We can instantly
attract money this way.
-We should pay every debt; especially long term ones. Life will respond
out of all proportion
-Money instantly responds to cleanliness and orderliness.
-There are many other strategies to attract money.
-By attracting money in these ways, we are enabling its circulation,
which in turn creates additional benefit, including more money, which
brings even more success.
-More trust means more money circulation.
-Money can also self-multiply.
-It is beginning to do so in the world.
-Let us investigate why this is the case.
-An example is that there is now 1 trillion in profits in the world
amongst certain companies with no long-term debt.
-Money is a social power. How and why and what benefit is worth
considering.
-When we get in touch with that power, we become an instrument of it.
-The more we perceive all of these dimensions of the True Nature of
Money, the more we attract it.
-Provided of course we do not have the taint of money desire.
-If we make a total effort to accumulate money through success without
desiring to keep it, we become its positive instrument.
-Man is a slave to money. We seek to possess it at all counts.
-It is in the hands of dark forces.
-Through our higher consciousness (as above), we bring money into the
light.
-It will then support the evolution of consciousness of Man.
-When we change our nature and open to the spirit, we facilitate this
process. Also, when we discover our true nature and Evolving Soul within
forcing us out of ego and time and into truth.
-If we aspire to change our relationship to money in these and other
ways, we become instruments of money moving from darkness into the
light. Rising in Money-Power
Consciousness to Attract Its Universal Power How to open to the universal plane where money flows as an infinite Force is the subtle approach we are now investigating. It involves moving from the ego plane to the universal where Money power resides. Money is a universal force whose source is Divine. Rising in consciousness in terms of money is the means of the ascent towards that universal power, as well as its descent as infinite wealth into our lives. To tie the two ends together is the work before us.
Money Power that
Comes through Trust and
Detachment E.g., the more you innovate and catch the emerging
waves of society, the more money will follow in the wake of your
efforts. Silicon Valley companies like Apple and Google are examples.
They just want to change the world through innovative, breakthrough
products and service in the computer and Internet domains. As a result,
money follows them in buckets! They are garnering infinite-like cash on
hand without any long-term debt. It shows the emergence of
self-multiplication power of money in society. Money is a power of trust. The more trust, the more
it circulates. The banking system is one example when they lend out
money. One extension of this trust power is the availability of micro
credits to poor women in Asia. Money's ultimate power comes through
ultimate trust. When we connect to the deepest realms within, and
thereby move away from ego and separateness, we enable the greatest
trust. I.e., we have the trust of the divine in action. In between, many
stages and manifestation of trust will appear in society. Those who tap
into that will prosper beyond their wildest dreams. Money comes to those not attached to it. Man is
mostly a slave to it. It is mostly in the hands of dark forces, but that
is changing. We can overcome the situation by changing our
consciousness, including our relation to and view of money. Money is a vast social power that the world misses. If we align ourselves with that emerging social power, we align with the infinite money potential.

Dark Money/Money Taint
Vibration of Wall Street and Related,
Dark Money, and Overcoming Money Taint
The forces emanating out of Wall Street and its ilk in various
forms are predominantly emanating one
vibration -- Darkness.
Further discussion:
Q: How then do we approach the situation?
A:It is to address the entire problem of Life; i.e. falsehood
embedded in society. I would say it is
helpful to deeply aspire for a
human-centered life, rather than money
orientation. It is to deeply perceive
and feel the importance of human values
in life, and the value given to things
above and beyond its financial worth.
We know that Man is a Slave of money, worshiping at its Shrine. Sri
Aurobindo and the Mother said money is
in the hands of the Asura; the dark
Forces there since creation. Financial
obsession with it -- to trade it, to
mindlessly watch its ups and down, to
track it like a hound tracking a wounded
prey, are some of its expressions.
It is of course there in each of all. We are not immune. Since it
is, we can purge it from ourselves,
which will send out positive vibration
that can affect the world. We can start
with our own greediness, selfishness,
tight-fistedness, lack of generosity,
jealousy, etc. Life will respond to our
efforts to rise above the low value of
money obsession.
Sex, money, power, greed, ego -- they are all tied together. It is
the physical consciousness of man that
needs to become more mental, and then
spiritual. Money is a Vital power under
the control of dark forces, which is
also there in the hearts of every
individual. We can start from within
ourselves, while MSS, WAAS, and other
outlets are working at the level of the
collective.
The problem will give way through higher consciousness, or if not
through tragedy, as in the past where
e.g. the Great Depression, rooted in
financial greed, led to WWII, and the
recent financial crisis nearly brought
down the entire system.
The warning signs are everywhere. Subconsciously and then
consciously we are beginning to take
notice. People on the streets protesting
is but one sign. Catastrophes is
another. At another level, i.e. from the
perception of the Infinite Brahman
consciousness, Dark Money is allright,
as it will be something that we are
destined to conquer, which will
ironically be the means by which the
human race progresses, evolves, and is
transformed.
New Perception of Money in the World
If we change our view of Money to one of
it being a social development tool and a
divine instrument, instead of our being
personally attached to and a slave of
it, then we can harness that Divine
power for the Good, replacing the Darker
Forces (e.g. greedy financiers and
speculators; and self-concerned power
mongers) that now control it. A
Human-centered Economics, instead of the
current system can help fulfill this
goal. Ultimately, the change will be
forged by individuals who have a new
social-oriented, divine perspective of
Money and its use.
Money
and Wealth
Money and Status
Though wealth is constantly on the minds of people, it is really
our status that we are most concerned with. I.e. Man seeks
status more than wealth.
Movement Toward Free on the Internet In the years to come will see the
continuation of the global movement towards Free. The Internet
is increasingly moving towards free sites, apps, features,
information, wisdom -- monitories by ad placement, such as
Google's approach. The hippy wisdom of the 1960s of free sharing
and non-possessiveness, never realized practically, returns in a
new form with a vengeance on the Internet. Consecrating a Money-Related Activity Attracts Abundance of It Recently I made a small effort to consecrate
a friend's effort of doing her taxes; i.e. self-offer it to the
Spirit. Several minutes later, my friend discovered and
gleefully informed me that she was due several thousand dollars,
when she actually expected to pay out funds, let alone receive
any. Then a few minutes late, I learned that
thousands more was going to come in as a result of a new
contract that suddenly arrived out of nowhere -- at a time when
literally nothing else was scheduled on my training and
consulting agenda. There would turn out to be additional
reverberations as well -- both monetarily and inwardly. And all because of one tiny gesture of
self-offering of the event to the spiritual Force, to the Divine
Mother. Surrendering a Large
Undertaking Attracts Plethora of Funds A day or two after an earlier episode (see above) in which a consecrated effort, i.e. self-offering of the event to the spiritual Force, suddenly attracted piles of money, a follow-up episode occurred. Here's what happened. I was outside my home, thinking about a new,
very substantial venture I was undertaking. I then realized that
there are so many issues involved, which could easily drive me
to confusion and frustration. Instead, I stopped myself in my
tracks and said, "Mother, I cannot know what is going to happen,
I cannot wrack my brain to understand all of the possibilities,
possible outcomes, where things are headed, etc. So I OFFER THE
ENTIRE MATTER TO YOU." Not 5 SECONDS later my cell phone rang, and
shockingly but not too surprisingly it was a new customer, which
meant substantially more money; when there were virtually no
such calls for weeks, if not months. The result was a wonderful
affirmation that brightened my day. But the episode did not end there. I then
walked over to my mail box, and it in was but one single letter
-- an unusual circumstance. But what a letter it was! It was my
household mate's first check amongst many to come involving
thousands of dollars, at a time she was unsure if she would
receive even ONE PENNY from that point forward from that source. It was another verification of how one
consecrated gesture of total Surrender of circumstance to the
Divine Mother and Her Force can attract large, even huge sums of
money. Because the intention was to rid one's self of mental
activity, and have total Faith in Her ability to guide the
future, powerful money results instantly followed. Let's see what happens in the days ahead! Wholeness of Life and Money Karmayogi says, "It is wealth that makes
life a whole and wholesome." What does this mean? Life is not just money accumulation; or
means of sustenance and security. It is the richness of
existence that it can create. The Renaissance in Europe is the
perfect example, as money interests supported the arts and
creativity. We can trace a thousand examples in all
civilizations down through time. Interestingly it also works the other way.
Creativity enables money to accelerate. We see this e.g. in
Silicon Valley, where innovation has led to not only useful
products, but an explosion in cash. That money in turn enables infinite
creativity, thereby completing the cycle. Cash Hordes in Silicon Valley Are Indicators
of Self-Multiplication of Money Many of the great tech companies of Silicon
Valley and elsewhere have huge hordes of cash. It is a decidedly
new phenomenon in business for this to occur en masse, and they
quite frankly don't really know what to do with money. It is as
an expert, visionary associate of mine has said is an indication
of a new Self-Multiplying tendency of money that is beginning to
take hold in the world. When a certain level of organization,
consciousness, perfection et al is arrived at in society, money
begins to circulate and self-multiply on its own in new ways,
not unlike how banks have taken money and multiplied it five
times or more when a deposit comes in; except this (in Silicon
Valley) is a much vaster application.. Thus, there is almost
quarter trillion in cash there with no one knowing what to do
with it. Why Money is Indispensable for Spirit A reader asks why money is indispensible for
the life of the Spirit; a point of view expressed often by Sri
Karmayogi. Here are several thoughts: -Money is a means of organizing and
expanding our vital, social existence. If our vital life is
developed to the point of prosperity and well-being, the Spirit
has a better soil to flourish in. It is parallel to receiving
Grace more fully because our nature is more receptive. -Money is also a means of creating greater
trust in life. That harmonizing aspect, which enables greater
social interaction and wealth, is spiritual in nature. -Thus, money has the potential to foster
spiritual values like trust, power, creativity, etc. -Money also enables Man to move beyond
survival, takes care of the necessities, so that he can develop
a richer psychological and spiritual life within. The more the
physical life is developed, the more the inner life can thrive. -Every step in the accumulation of money can
be done through Spirit, through consecration of circumstance,
which allows wealth to quickly expand in all directions. -Money is a divine Force in essence. It is
Spirit personified in social existence. -Money enables the collective to
interrelate, cooperate, and integrate. I.e. it is a great
Unifying force, which is one of the spiritual aspects that the
Infinite Divine seeks to manifest in life. -Going
through the process of accumulating money will reveal all of our
defects, which we can overcome, and as a result, not only
prosper, but grow in the process. It will enable a steady
movement in our march towards the Spirit. Non-Money
Taint that Attracts Vast Success One aspect of the Facebook social network
that few if any have pointed out is that its founder has had
little care for monetary gain, only features and benefits for
its users. That non-money taint has propelled it to 500 million
viewers and growing. In other words, not being a slave to the
monetary vibration, while discovering and riding the emerging
social wave in our domain, can attract overwhelming success
(including infinite-like financial reward). We see this dynamic
there at Apple and Google as well, who have huge cash reserves
without debt. It is a lesson we can all learn from, and apply in
our own business, work, and career.
Self-Multiplying Money in the World Sri Karmayogi indicates that money self-multiplies when it reaches a certain level of organization and consciousness. For example, we see this phenomenon occurring amongst a group of specific companies, including Facebook, Google, and Apple, who appear to have right consciousness about money. I.e. they are more focused on bringing its users great benefit than focusing on financial gain, which not only attracts vast success, but staggering amounts of cash to them. Self-multiplication of money occurs when a
certain threshold of consciousness is reached, whether for the
society, the organization, or the individual. When that occurs,
money seems to circulate in ways that were formerly
unimaginable. This can also occur for us in our individual
lives, when we develop that higher orientation of seeking
benefit for others through self-giving action, while avoiding
the tyranny and taint of attachment to money.
