Question: Observing my thoughts and conversations with other people, it seems that much of the topic goes around money. Such as, how much does something cost, and how great of a price/quality (value), the trip, or restaurant or new phone has. Do people, in general, have a disproportionate focus on the money, rather than on the experiences themselves. What are the underlying illusions underneath it? And how can we adopt a more constructive approach with a balanced focus on money and enjoying life?
Answer from the Ascended Master Mother Mary through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2021 Webinar – Moving Toward Golden Age Relationships.
The fallen beings have put forth a great effort to get people fixated on money. They have attempted to create societies that are revolving around money. Where people’s minds, the way they look at life, are revolving around money. Because people either do not have enough money, or they do not have any money. There has been created this consciousness, that the way to get what you want in life is through money. Money is the key, even to being happy, or being fulfilled and getting what you want. Many, many people have been pulled into the vortex, the beast of this lie. You will see that even people who have more money than they can spend are fixated on money. Being afraid that they could lose it, being concerned of how they can make it multiply so they do not lose it gradually by the money losing its value and so on.
You are already, in the question, beginning to see the solution. The solution is to recognize that planet earth is, as we have said, a reality simulator and experience machine. The purpose of being on earth is to have certain experiences that shift your consciousness. My beloved, money cannot buy these experiences. You can see many, many people who have all the money they could possibly spend and they still are not having experiences that shift their consciousness.
You need to recognize here that many people will say: “But I have much greater freedom when I have money, I can travel, I can do this, I can do that, and that gives me an experience, does it not?” And that is correct. But there are two types of experiences in life. There are, as we have said before, some experiences that solidify a certain state of consciousness and that therefore become a black hole that can never be filled. There are some desires that cannot be filled. No matter how many experiences you have, it is never enough. That is why you see people, it is never enough money that they have, they never have enough sex, they never have enough this or that.
You need to recognize that these are not the experiences I am talking about. They are not shifting your consciousness, they are actually preventing your consciousness from shifting. The real experiences are the experiences that shift your consciousness. And you can have these regardless of whether you have money. I agree that for many people, it is necessary to have a certain amount of money in order to have some experiences that they need to have. But in many nations in the world, it is possible to have such desires fulfilled. For a house, for a car, for a phone, for a computer, for traveling and so forth. Many people are in the process of having these physical experiences because they have enough money to do it.
But what I am talking about here is that regardless of your outer situation, you can shift your attitude, so that you first of all go for experiences. You realize that the goal of your life is to have experiences that shift your consciousness. And then you say: “With the money I have available to me right now, how can I get these experiences?” And you therefore realize that it is not a matter of accumulating money. It is not a matter of always focusing on earning more money or always focusing on getting things as cheaply as possible.
It is a matter of focusing on which experience do I sense I need to have in order to have had enough of this so I can shift my consciousness. I am not saying that this instantly solves your money problems. But it does shift your focus, your attitude to money. And this will, for many people, mean that they will actually open up for the flow of energy that also will manifest the physical money, or in other ways manifest the physical situations where they can have the experiences they need, in order to shift and become free to move on from earth ultimately.
There is in many, many countries, this very deep poverty consciousness, it is very understandable. Many of you have grown up with parents who grew up under much poorer conditions than you have ever experienced. And you have taken on some of this consciousness from your parents and grandparents, that there is never enough money, at least not for ordinary people. You need to look at this and be willing to identify these separate selves and let them die so you can shift your attitude towards money and realize that you live in a friendly universe. You live in an abundant universe. The universe will give you the experiences you need in order to fulfill your spiritual goals.
