The Flow of Prosperity

What we know, and our attitudes affects how we approach life. They affect our approach to prosperity as part of our approach. What we know and our attitudes can be influenced by our concepts of spirituality.

Consider two people. One of them thinks they are the most important person on the planet, that they are free and can do and say whatever they want because they are important and free. They practice the idea that their thoughts create their reality. Life is about making themselves happy and doing and having whatever they want so they can live this life. They use their wealth to get things to happen the way they want. Though what is really happening is that they are following their karmic path but in a way their personality likes.

In the past, in the West there were people whose idea of prosperity was all about getting rich and richer. It was these kind of people who brought about industry; the petrochemicals industries, the agricultural industries and so on. They got rich but the effect on environment has been terrible, nor did their exploits help prosper the communities who worked for them. This approach to life and prosperity unfortunately goes on around the world even now.

Consider another person with a different spirituality. For sure their own individual karma will influence what they do and experience. But say this person knows they are one out of many, many souls, and that everything and everyone is interconnected. Plus they know that what they think, say and do has an effect. They know that they are part of something bigger than them. They are aware of an energy that connects all things, and they are aware of energy flowing into their lives.

As an example, lets say they learnt about Chi energy. They have practised some form of exercise that involves Chi energy, where they learnt to feel the movement of Chi energy, and they can sense it.

Chi energy flows around, and is a good example to show that people can become aware of spiritual energy flowing into the planet and flowing around and into their lives.

It is possible for a spiritual person to be aware of some kind of energy flowing in their life and in Life all around them. This energy can be called all kinds of things (think of Star Wars and the Force if you like). Being aware of the spiritual energy coming in and flowing around is like tapping into an aspect of God. It is possible to be aware of brand new energy flowing in, very much as if the energy was flowing in from the Future. Think of it as if the energy flows in and lays stepping stones into an unfolding future.

A spiritual person with this kind of awareness can have a feel of what it is that is right to do, of what direction in Life to go, and when to wait and when to stop. The energy flowing in can carry ideas, creative inspirations and the emotional motivation to birth these ideas and inspirations into physical reality. In quiet times one’s imagination can receive these. Receiving and acting on ideas and inspirations is very much part of a spiritual approach to prosperity as they can change your life and the world around you.

Living like this requires a trust in the energy, and a trust in one’s own ability to feel the energy. It requires calmness and peace on the inside, and an ability to be patient and then to move quickly when required.

Life has a rhythm to it, and spirituality and prosperity becomes about feeling this rhythm and going with it as best as possible. It’s like being on a seashore and watching the waves rolling in in their own time as they can’t be pushed or slowed. With a bit of practice you can sense the incoming waves of inspiration as they roll in from the future.

Trust, peace and awareness.

Time for a new prosperity

The world has changed a lot over the past several decades, and particularly in the last twenty or so. Right now there is a lot of change happening. There is more to come, as spiritual energy, Love and Light, pour into the Earth and humanity to bring about change. For humanity right now, it is a lot about getting rid of the old, based on old energy, and creating the new, based on new energy. Today, we are in the midst of this change (some people might prefer the word turmoil).

There are people who are invested in the old, and who are trying to hang on to it. For instance, those people who have made a lot of money from oil and the industries based on oil such as plastics will do anything to make sure it keeps going. Think of how slow governments are in dealing with the issue of plastics. This is just one example from many possible ones.

Several decades ago, spiritual prosperity thinking would have been OK with making money running an industry in steel, coal, oil, chemicals and so on, which polluted the planet, and involved dangerous working situations for people, or exploitative ones. The people making the money would have been held up as shining examples of how to be prosperous. That was the old prosperity, the old way. Some people still want to live this way.

There are businesses based on exploitation of people and the environment. There are businesses that are to do with sex that exploit women, and also children. There are businesses based on drug addiction. There is the harvesting of personal details and data on the internet. These businesses are based on greed and control and often violence.

There are other possible examples, such as cryptocurrency mining which uses up huge amounts of electricity to produce and so uses up the earth’s resources and contributes to global warming.

These are all ways this world currently goes on. Ways that are not exactly based on Love and Light. They can touch people we know personally. They certainly touch our communities and societies. Does making money through these ways mean it is being done prosperously?

Turmoil and change is making humanity (well some of them) learn from the state of the world and the consequences of past actions. These caring people think there has to be something better than the old ways.

And there is.

On a spiritual level, the insights and new creative concepts have already been flowing in. There are many people at the leading edge bringing in new technologies, developing sustainable ways of doing things, and having ideas about how to live more intelligently. It’s a time of creativity and experimentation.

As is often the case in spiritual matters, spiritual energy comes in to create situations in life for individuals and groups of individuals that they then go through and learn from. Life itself is the teacher, and people come to realise what is important and what isn’t, and use their ingenuity to find solutions to problems. With the spiritual input, life changes, and people change because of it. (Who did you think was in charge of Life, the Universe and Everything?)

For those people who want to do things in a new way, they can access new insights and ideas that are already flowing in. People can just be open to them, or they can go a spiritual route and deliberately work with the Divine (the Father aspect or the Mother aspect; both work), and embrace the new spiritual ideas of Prosperity coming in. It’s like tapping into a wave that is flowing in from our new, improved future, which is very different to the old one that we are leaving behind. The book “A Spiritual Approach to Prosperity” is all about this.

In the past, the old spiritual approach to prosperity was heavily focused on money and wealth and having lots of it.

The new spiritual approach to prosperity does include money as it is still useful as a means of exchange of energy. But in life, we have learnt that having clean air and clean water massively adds to quality of life. So does nutritious food, which given pollution, turbulent weather, increasing population and the quality of food produced by factory farming, is becoming an issue. We have learnt that being able to spend time with other people is important, simply being able to be held and hugged is important. Having privacy is becoming important as the tech companies collect and sell data about us, without respect for people. Having an environment where we can access some greenery or Nature is important for people. Having employment, as setting up and running businesses is not for everyone, without exploitation but rather with respect is important.

The very nature of how money is used will need to change. Currently, people go into banking and finance because they want to make lots of money. The financial system is set up to run so that money comes from the customers, and the money flows to those who work in Finance so they can become rich off these customers. There is plenty of scope for innovative thinkers here.

A spiritual approach to prosperity has always relied on some understanding of how focused thought works with spiritual energy. The roles of visualisation and intuition still applies, as does timely right action. What is different now and in earlier times when prosperity books were written is that there are many more people around who have an awareness of spirituality and the world, and who visualize and meditate. What else is very different is the phenomenal spiritual energy flowing in from the Divine for people to access and work with to be prosperous, and bring in the new.

Imagine God has a restaurant

Yum?

It is easier than people think to use their intuition. Imagination is the key. You just have to imagine you can smell something, taste something, feel something, hear something and see something. Over time you get to trust yourself and your ability to use your intuition. Your abilities can just grow,

Being able to sense something intuitively is called psychometrising. You can get quite analytical with it, and use it in all kinds of situations. There is an article about psychometrising on the blog.

Countries: Fear and Love and Triangles of Energy


With the new energy and light flowing in and touching everything karma is being ignited and sped up for people, for groups and for countries, and the planet as a whole. Life is getting interesting.

Individual people have (a collection of) spirit. So too do groups and communities. Countries have their own unique spirit. When a person is born in a particular country they share in that spirit, and it will be different to the spirit of another country.

Countries have their unique spirit and they also have their own karma and timeline which is different to that of other countries. Countries do get to experience some of this karma by their interactions with other countries, physically, socially, emotionally, economically and in cyberspace. There is never a dull moment in the lives of countries! The karma of a country can at times be pleasant to experience and at other times it can be rough, sometimes extremely rough.

On some stages of a country’s timeline the energy can look great and at other times it can look awful.

Countries can be run by their governments according to Old Law, and old energy and old values, and on greed and fear for the most part. There may be some countries that have flowing into them some New Law or new spiritual law which affects how life carries on in the country and how the country is run.

The energy that a country has at any moment can be looked at as if it is a triangle of energy. The energy might look light, warm and inspiring or the triangle of the energy of a country might look dark, musty and old and worn. Or it might glower and be threatening and oppressive.

You might like to think of some countries and look at the triangles of their energy as it is today. (Don’t worry they will get better.)

There is what could be perceived as a problem for some people in a country. Usually this means the people in charge, in the establishment, and those that have made comfortable, prestigious or luxurious lives for themselves by doing things in the old way.

The new energy and light is shaking up things and bringing the energy to dismantle the old law and old ways, and bringing in new law, so that sometime in the future (which could be a couple of hundred years away or so) what happens in countries has a spiritual sense of rightness about it, and the triangle of energy looks lovely for the most part.

Getting to that point, while old law and new law, and the people with a vested interest in either old law or new law, sort things out between. There will be rough patches, as well as happier times.

What is the triangle of energy of the country you are in right now? What about the country it has dealings with?

Spirituality, onion layers and forgiveness – Or how to be happy

Spirituality is a lot about loving thoughts, loving feelings, compassion and right action at the right time.

Before getting into spirituality I had a party-going hedonistic lifestyle. I didn’t care that much about my own wellbeing or the wellbeing of others, and considered myself as having a smattering of metropolitan culture. Discovering spirituality, my thinking and feeling changed a lot.

The nightlife lifestyle had covered up anger and sadness as I thought I was having fun, and didn’t give attention to the feelings that were bubbling under the surface. Through a crisis and therapies I went through a process of learning to love and appreciate myself as I worked through the emotions. I started to love and appreciate others as well. I practiced forgiveness. I was healing. My heart centre opened up a bit.

I didn’t know much about spirituality, I didn’t need to as I was doing the essentials anyway. I was becoming happier and happier, more and more excited about life and healthier too.

I started to learn about different approaches to spirituality. Though I have since concluded that life, the universe and everything goes on the way it does no matter what people believe about spirituality. I came across some spiritual approaches that were incomplete, some were half-baked, and some were completely whacko. (Being able to use your third-eye and other centres to tune in and assess belief systems and concepts is really useful, and also good for spotting fake news.)

I have realized that to understand and know fully how things happen in creation requires a great deal of knowledge which needs to be deeply understood. Also it helps to have many, many lifetimes of experience for the soul to learn what life is about and what God is all about.

Even with incomplete knowledge it is still possible to use some basics, such as using thoughts to (partially) create your reality, and use the knowledge that energy follows thought, so using visualization and affirmations can be useful in life.

Nowadays, with regards to understanding spirituality I tend to think of it like layers of an onion. There are depths and layers to spiritual knowledge, so what you believe one year can change throughout the years as depth of understanding grows, and life is lived to build experience, and building experience deepens understanding.

Now the basics again: thinking loving thoughts, and feeling loving feelings. And forgiveness. Is that possible to do about everyone? Is it possible to do about everything?

You might have a list of people and events or groups that you feel are beyond loving and who should be damned forever and sent into a black hole.

I was given a lesson in this in the nineties when I drove a Tibetan lama from Oxford to London. I didn’t know much history and asked him how he came to the West. He explained that he and the other monks fled their monastery. He told me that the Chinese army attacked and shot at the monks as they crossed a river. Out of 300 monks, 6 made it across into India. What amazed me was that he didn’t hold a grudge or any animosity and was at peace with what had happened.

This was and still is a big lesson for me: to be able to forgive everyone.

Through spiritual knowledge I have a sense of why to forgive. I know that people have many lifetimes. When we have lives, what we have as a life is determined by our karma so we have experiences to balance out our karma for our soul to learn through experience. First we have one experience and then another in a future lifetime to balance out the experience in the earlier life. The law of opposites can be operating, so we can have a light filled life of doing caring actions, and this is balanced by a darker life where are action are negative. Then a future lifetime can be light filled again.

In dark lives, we get tested. The Dark Lodge are interested in us when we have lives where we lean to the dark. The Dark Lodge are essentially testers. They offer us a life where we can have glamour, power over others, easy wealth and prestige, and other people have to pay the price. Sometimes the lifestyle comes through exploiting creatures or the earth.

In one life we might feel that we don’t want to act, think or live in a negative way anymore. We have had enough, we are saturated in negative experiences (this is the law of saturation). Or we might decide that’s it, no more of the dark life, and it is yes to more light, love and peace. A caveat to this is that sometimes dark and tyranny needs to be fought against as the most loving option. It depends on what you are fighting for. (There is an energy, a Great Ray called Harmony through Conflict that is worth researching, and in Meher Baba’s Discourses there is information on conflict and right action.) What is right depends on your take on spirituality.

Something else that influences me is the fact that people are souls that have dark and light incarnations, and that we all belong to the same Oversoul, so at a soul level we are connected. For me, this might mean we can forgive people who we have a big emotional charge about. We can start to think loving thoughts about them, and feel love and peace towards them.

Having been through this myself and having helped others go through their own personal journey of forgiveness with its downs and ups, I feel it is important to work through the emotions around whatever needs to be forgiven before reaching peace through forgiveness. Otherwise the emotional energy will try another route to express itself and this can have a negative effect on oneself and one’s life.

After the forgiveness can come the feeling and sending of positive love and thoughts.

This is definitely a useful exercise in our topsy-turvy, emotionally charged world. You might like to make a list of people in the world, close by or geographically distant who really trigger your emotions. You might like to try forgiving these people as we are all connected on a soul level. (As a matter of interest, hate and anger towards someone is also a powerful way of creating a cording to them, and energy can flow both ways through the cording. Forgiveness can dissolve the cording, while love can create a positive cording.)

Why Pschometrising is Important

Most of us like to know what is going on around us, and know what is going on in the world that affects us and affects those we feel an emotional or empathetic connection to.

But often things aren’t quite what they seem on the face of it.

The British Parliament had a vote about starting the process of leaving Europe. Energetically there is a lot involved in the issue of Brexit for a lot of people in Britain and Europe, and a lot of energy involved in it as well.

Psychometrising is about looking at, or sensing or feeling the energy within a person or an object, or a process that is going on or an event. It is a powerful way of using your intuition to obtain a sense of what is occurring so you have some understanding of what is going on.

On a simple level a person can have a gut feeling about something. On a more sophisticated level a person can use their intuition in whatever way they can according to their capability.

A problem that affects psychometrising is prejudice. It also affects beliefs and how someone thinks.

Most people will like and approve of people who are like them. They will like and approve of what they are familiar with. (What happens when the familiar crumbles?)

One time I read in the news about a peace protest. There was a picture of a peace protestor in the newspaper. I like peace so I thought what a wonderful person they must be in the picture. But it didn’t feel quite right. So I psychometrised them. I looked at their heart centre as if it was made up of layers. The peace protestor’s heart was black and negative through and through. This was a bit of a shock to me, so I checked out the rest of their energy, and found it was actually quite malicious.

So I zoomed out like looking at a film of an event to look at the bigger picture, and to understand more of what was going on.

I learnt that sometimes people claim to be good but they actually are not always. I learnt that when something is happening and someone says or implies that they are doing something good it really isn’t always the case. Looking at heart centres and at the bigger picture, and psychometrising, that can give a different understanding. Like I said though, ones own prejudice can get in the way.

People have centres or chakras. Countries have centres or chakras, as well as their own unique spirit that makes a country different to other countries. People and countries can be psychometrised along with their timelines. A chakra system, going up from base centre, sexual centre, solar plexus, heart centre, throat centre, third eye and crown (or a more updated system of centres) can be psychometrised. So you can look at say the education system of a country as a system of centres and see at what level the education system is functioning. (Usually in terms of what is spiritually possible this is base, sexual centre or solar plexus at the most at the moment). When an education system becomes more advanced spiritually, or does something right, the energy moves up the centres so a higher part seems to light up. Other systems in a country, such as a health system or a political system can be psychometrised in a similar way. A country’s chakra system can be psychometrised to give us a sense of how it is living up to its spiritual potential.

Some countries, and the systems and the organizations within them can look completely grotty and corrupt  (while some can look like they are fairly good). Zooming out can give a different spiritual perspective. There are some spiritual laws. One is called the Law of Opposites, and another is called the Law of Saturation. Sometimes a person, or a group of people or a country have to be absolutely saturated in a situation or a condition before it flips over into its opposite. So a country can be saturated in a situation where the government and cronies are corrupt and cruel until there is a vote or a revolution and the people get a more benign government. So psychometrising can mean zooming out of a situation that is complex and looking at its timeline, knowing that things change. This is particularly so if the situation has been given a spiritual push, as is happening right now all over the planet earth in this remarkable time. So hang on to your hats, and most definitely your emotions.

Brexit then. With the vote in Parliament to start proceedings to leave Europe the energy went up a bit in the chakra system of Britain. Which is on the up and up. So most of the economists will keep getting their gloomy predictions wrong.

The chakra systems of the European countries tell a different story. France’s is low but higher than Germany’s. Italy’s looks like something has to happen soon to bring about a rebalancing of energy. The chakra system of the European Union looks very ill with a lot of negative energy which will have to implode to clear the energy. The chakra systems of most countries in Europe improve after that.

With lots of light and love flowing into the world, well the earth has to change. Our lives will change, how we live will change and what we have in our lives will change as well. So everything, literally everything will be different. That means we all have to change as well. It is already happening.

Law firms, banks and countries (e.g. Panama) – Light or dark?

Countries have a spirit that makes them unlike other countries. You can check this spirit out for its qualities. This reflects on the country. Is the spirit inclined to be light or dark, stuck and stagnant or transforming, troubled or calm? There are other qualities you can consider, such as attitude to women, attitude to the environment. You can see how much corruption there is.

At the time of writing, Panama’s spirit is murky, like angry, vicious black smoke swirling. But there is light being blasted into it, looking like lightning. This opens the spirit up to Truth, and the dark is diminishing, all the while pretending nothing is wrong. Change can happen. Panama’s spirit will lighten up.

The banks involved also have a spirit that runs through the organisation, and the same applies to law firms involved. The spirit of some of the organizations involved in the Panama Papers look really dark, and are really part of the dark lodge, all the while trying to look clean.

The money flowing through this part of the financial system has distinctly grubby energy and karma linked with it. It may be a way to launder money so that it looks legitimate, but it doesn’t wash off that energy and karma, as it goes into general circulation.

Money represents energy. As more light comes in, there should be ways coming about to facilitate the transfer of energy, without having to use the old, corrupt ways. Then we can leave that old energy behind.

About the spirit of countries. In some writings early last century channelled by Alice Bailey, it was said that France had a particular spirit which would enable it to prove the existence of the soul.

In Russia, the spirit has built up to be quite light, but Putin and his cronies have nowhere to go. They are stuck, and Russia is stuck with them, until the light builds up more.

Countries can also be considered to have chakras, often represented by their places of habitation, or places. You can sense how bright, how large, and how harmonious the chakras are. You can sense how high up the energy goes, for instance, is it at the base centre only, or the sexual centre, or is it solar plexus. Is there a country operating at the heart centre level or higher? (Watch out for bias.)

To get the world from A to B (for Beautiful) energetically is going to require a long time as more light comes in, and require a huge amount of change, so countries on their new timelines will be unlike how they are now. There is going to be a lot of change in every country.
