My Dear Friends,
Now is a time of rearrangement, in many areas of your lives.....not the least of which is the area dealing with finances and stewardship of natural resource. So....in the true Spirit of Commercialism, which has come to characterize your upcoming Holiday Season (whatever your religion or nationality)--we would like to offer some Bridge Concepts dealing with these areas.
We are the Reconnections. We represent all those parts of your Expanded Self that you had to forget about in order to become human. We've never been very far from you, just far enough. And now, in the fullness of time---YOUR time---we arrive on the scene to pass on some well-deserved knowledge about how things really work, as a opposed to what you have been led to believe!
We spoke to you at length concerning Spirituality and Sex didn't we? Wouldn't it naturally follow that we would also want to speak to you about that most important intersection which we might refer to as Spirituality and Bucks?
The whole of your economic landscape is in disarray at this time. The "haves" are scrambling to keep what they have (and to get more), while the "have nots" are scrambling just to stay in the Game! Ha!!! This is a natural by-product of random infusions of Chaos Energy on a gradually increasing scale. You are UNRAVELING YOURSELVES......my dear friends..... and this is ALL part of the plan! Still....it sometimes feels quite unpleasant, does it not?
The situation we describe here applies almost equally to the areas of HEALTH and RELATIONSHIPS as well. Lots of unraveling going on there, isn't there? These three arenas (The Big Three!) are regularly serving as "choke chains" for your ever-expanding mental and emotional bodies. They ground you when you seem to be getting too big for your britches!!! And then they can also boost you when you need boosting, as well.
The Oneness Position on the Multiversal Game Board is a perfect example of someone (or something) being "there" and "not there" at the same time. Only those who move upon a Oneness Track can even see you. Everyone else simply passes on by, as if you weren't there. For some of you, this truth alone will constitute a transformational jolt. You spend a good deal of your time wondering who in this world is THERE FOR YOU, and who isn't. The answer is simple. If you can see them, they are THERE FOR YOU (Or, rather, AS you). If they can see you, then you are THERE FOR THEM (or AS them, in their perceptual universe). If this were not the case, you could never be able to find each other. Therefore, whatever you see, go ahead and use it in your process. What sees you will undoubtedly return the favor.
AN EXPERIENCE CALLED: MONEY
Let us speak now, concerning this commodity which you have named "money." In his life flow, Master Jesus had occasion to be quizzed concerning its purpose and importance in the Grand Game. When asked, the Master instructed his questioner to take a Roman coin from his pocket and describe the image that was printed thereon. The man replied: "Caesar's." Then Jesus uttered a now-famous line, in regards to this topic of MONEY. He said: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and render unto God the things that are Gods."
Upon who or what is the image of God stamped? According to your Bible, the answer would be MAN, would it not?¹ This statement seems to imply the existence of some kind of hierarchy in creation. However, we are not speaking here about a hierarchy for men. We are speaking about a "pecking order" of things, places, situations throughout creation.....and the dominion of humans over them. How does it feel to be at the top of the "food chain?"
If one renders himself unto money, he is mobilizing a More Expanded Beingness (human) and relegating it to a Denser Beingness (mammon). It is an aberration of sacred power. We come now to also speak about the proper usage of power.
Money is not evil. Many there are who misquote the Holy Scriptures on this point. The verse in reference says ".......the LOVE of money is the root of all evil." ³ No man can serve two masters. And furthermore, humans must soon discontinue the idea of serving ANYTHING, since you are in the process of becoming Masters yourselves.
We have said it before, and we will say it again: "You walk a fine line between God as Healer and God as Slayer."² In truth, you are walking a fine line between EVERYTHING and EVERYTHING ELSE. You are Bridge People, are you not? Your task is to place one foot on this side of the Veil, and the one foot on the other side, so that a balance may be struck. If one cannot (or will not) strike this balance, he could be considered spiritually sterile---or, on the other hand, an agent for some extreme faction that has somehow become present within a Oneness Resonance, yet refuses to join with it.
If a bridge is to serve its proper purpose, it must be firmly anchored on BOTH SIDES, so as to present a stable means of crossing for those who venture out upon it. This means that you must have access to tools and resources, so as to adequately operate in the World of Form, and you must also be able to traverse easily through the highways and byways of the Multiverse, so you have something new to offer the transforming people of Earth.
Money is a symbol of one's connection within a world system--and its usage is a contract one makes to honor that system, so long as it also honors him. Remember, you were born to be a Sovereign. So was your neighbor, whether he realizes it or not. Give honor only to that which honors you. To the rest, simply grant an allowance of being, and place an internal inquiry concerning what Shadow Lessons their reflections bring. End of story. Use what you can, and let the rest pass.
One could say the same thing of money that we might say about breath (oxygen). When you breathe in and breathe out, you are making a contract with Earth's systems--freely receiving a measure of support, to sustain life, while giving back a measure of support in return.
If the giving and receiving of love constitutes the interface of Spirituality and Sex, then the giving and receiving of physical substance and support constitutes the divine interface between Spirituality and Bucks. Do you see?
ABOUT CREDIT
The availability of credit is the same as any availability of physical money. After all, it's there at your disposal, is it not? If you feel a desire and there is a sense of appropriateness, go ahead and use it. But if you do, do it with a sense of calm dispatch and with no fear. That which is done in fear tends to bring forth more fear. That which is done in love brings forth more love. And remember, love for self is every bit as important as love of another. Even more so, as it is the foundation of your understandings about love in the first place.4
There are many today who denigrate the usage of credit, for fear that you will come into bondage to creditors, and forfeit your freedom somewhere down the road. This is just another Separation Game---though any fear can be realized if that is what one requires to complete his "dance card" in 3D research. It isn't an inevitable result. In truth, there are no "inevitable" results. Everything represents its own full spectrum of possibility. This same fear-based reasoning could be utilized by those who are afraid to lean upon a lover or spouse, for fear that they may someday be forced to "return the favor." If obligation is what you fear, that is what you will create.
The usage of credit can be a trap, and so can involvements in love. Yet who would be the hunter, and who would be the prey? Are they not two sides of the same one coin?
Many who slip into "financial bondage," during these times of high transition, do so in order to attain a particular viewpoint. What is it like to be a free man, living in a prison cell? In a sense, you are JOURNALISTS for All That Is........working on "location," so to speak. You are sentient beings, living in close quarters with those whose sensibilities have all but gone.
"What am I doing here?" your soul cries out!
And if it does, then realize that providence (and your own choices) have bid you to enter a "no-fly zone," having your wings still intact.
Any awareness that cries out "I do not deserve to be here" is a gift to be carried.....if need be........right to the Devil's Doorstep. For those words are Christ's Words, are they not?
"Father.....Father........why hast thou forsaken me?" Can you feel it? In that moment, a work of atonement (at-one-ment) is completed. For you have mixed and mingled the experience of "Sacred Sonship" and an experience of being "forsaken"..........and you have stirred them together within the same vessel. They are no longer separated. And you are no longer alone. Shame has been turned to SAME. THIS is the larger purpose for pain and suffering in your world at this time.
Is there such a thing as ice water in Hell? Oh my.....yes! There are creditors and there are borrowers alike, whose souls have been all but lost---steeped in frivolity, high anxiety, or cruel usury. It is a place in consciousness "where the damned have howled away their hearts5....an opium den, a back-alley flop house, a den of thieves. And you are there, right in the midst of it. Your heart recoils, but your circumstance gathers you in--just another sheep, preparing for the slaughter. Yet you DO NOT DIE.......do you see it? You go down, down...into the very depths of decomposition and disgrace, only to RISE AGAIN........to tell the tale.
There are no accidents. And there are no tragedies that are not ultimately reclaimed--no dark nights of the soul that will not be coated with your own special silver lining. Just STAY PRESENT, and realize there is always a greater purpose that is being served. There are those among you who are Kings and Queens who, for some reason.......find yourself being stripped of fine garments.......in a moment of time........shivering in the cold, while cruel centurions cast lots to see who gets to take home what is left of your dignity.
Where you are going now, as a people..........as a planet......there is no separation. There are only distinctions, assisting your process of perceiving and understanding. If money is in your neighbor's hand--it is your money, too. This is because you and your neighbor are one. Is their money in your hand? It is also yours, to do with as you will. But it does not necessarily belong to your neighbor, unless he believes it to be so. Remember, each universe is your very own creation, and his universe belongs to him. He can do with it as he will.
We speak now about actualities and trans-actualities (acts and transacts). The former term refers to the fundamental state of things. We are ONE. All is ONE. The latter term represents the appearance of things, a state of focus that is attained when one wishes to view something up close and in detail.
Things are not always what they appear. They are at least that, but they frequently can be so much more. The determination of what is "real"--in any universe--is a matter of perception, not existence. Everything exists, but people only tend to see what they wish to see. And that, too, is perfect. The 3D Universes are "made-to-order" training modules---efficiently and easily guiding you into an ever-expanding, specified knowledge of the vastness of who you are.
Your usage of credit is one way of "faking it till you make it," by riding on the coat tails of "someone else," who seems to possess a certain business acumen--which is also yours, though you have placed it somewhat at a distance. You pay that person "interest," so that you can perpetuate the illusion of separation just a little while longer. Or, perhaps, it is a way for a free man to experience the loss of freedom, if only for a time.
