Rising above the Collective Energies of Money

It is the beginning of a new year and one that brings with it quite an unusual amount of change. The times we have been training for, as lightworkers, are indeed here. The process of ascension, that we have been facilitating for several decades now, is coming to a boiling point and many of the transitions that so far we have felt mostly only at the energetic level or only as shifts within our personal lives, are now manifesting onto the larger screen of our physical world in very concrete ways.

One of the biggest signs of this shift within the collective energy, which is currently manifesting on the physical plane, is the beginning of the collapse of Earth’s economical structures. As you may have noticed, banks and money lending institutions are in crisis all over the globe. Many people have lost savings, part of their investments in stocks and chunks of their retirement funds. Some have even lost their jobs and their homes. It is likely that potential material setbacks in the outer world will continue to occur as the financial crisis continues to unfold. In many ways we are just at the beginning of this process affecting the economy, or at least just at the beginning of the phase of its final unraveling. The economy has been headed for this kind of transformation for some time, even if it is only now happening in ways that are apparent.

The main reason for which we are seeing the collapse of our economies is that the rules by which our finances are governed are not aligned with the higher truth of humanity and with the wellbeing of the world. As we move into the later stages of ascension, all that is not truth cannot but gradually crumble away. Governments are stepping in to bail out financial bodies in an attempt to slow down the process. But these interim steps will most likely not succeed, as not only the hole that is the world debt is bigger than we imagine, but, also because, metaphysically, governments are just as out of alignment with higher truth as the monetary systems are. Great change is afoot and it’s a change that can’t be avoided. Reform is possible, but only within the context of deep lasting transformation. Band aids will not do. The very values on which our societies are based upon are up for a profound make over. Many Souls are ready to help, especially within the younger generations. Gradually new ways and new models for the remuneration of labor and distribution of riches will appear. These are exciting times, even if the energy of this particular transition can feel a little scary and a bit chaotic to ride.


How will we be affected?

But what does this mean on a practical level? Will we all be affected by these changes? Does this mean that we will lose our homes, that our businesses will die or that we are heading towards difficult financial times on a personal level? The answer is: only to the degree that our businesses and financial affairs are out of alignment with higher truth. And only to the degree with which our consciousness is entangled with the consciousness of fear within the collective energy streams. In the case of many lightworkers, who have been preparing for years to offer their services to humanity during these times, it is even possible that this may be indeed a time of financial thriving. These will indeed be the businesses that are setting the foundation for the new templates of the new Earth. Not only these businesses will do very well, but they will also set the foundation for the economic systems that will be born out of the current ones ashes.

There will be some who may experience financial hardship. This may occur if it is in the best interest for the evolution of a Soul and their mission of service. A person may for example have karmic contracts that would make it beneficial for them to experience losing all possessions. It may be that through the loss of all possessions a Soul is given the opportunity to relinquish many lifetimes of dependency to the material sphere of life. Or it may be part of a lightworker’s mission to participate in the discomfort of those suffering financially, so that they may serve as a witness and a vehicle for healing to those around them. Most people, however, will not have a “higher” need to experience hardship. But some may still find themselves experiencing it, if they allow themselves to be sucked into the turbulence of the collective energies of a world in crisis. It is therefore beneficial to learn how to detach from the consciousness streams carrying the energy of hardship, so as to be able to create ones reality separately from that of a world in fear and travel in a separate intentional energy, rather than being carried by a negative flow.


Detaching from the Collective Energy Streams

The reality we create for ourselves is created at many different levels. We manifest from the Soul level, from our unconscious, from the consciousness of our individualized personality, but also, we manifest from the level of the collective. The more we are unconsciously plugged into the collective, the more we will manifest the shared consensus reality currently embraced by the majority on the planet, rather than what we are choosing to create on an individual level. The collective consciousness, however, especially in areas such as money, is still not vibrating very high. Most people on planet Earth do not hold a vision of abundance, where all needs are always provided for- effortlessly- in divine timing, but one of scarcity, lack and fear. Even many rich people hold fearful visions of scarcity where they perceive that what they have is never enough to keep them safe. This in turn results in the greed and need to accumulate wealth at the expense of others that we see- all too often- around us. And especially during turbulent financial times, when the mass mind of the Earth’s people is consumed by worry and panic, it is essential to be able to operate as independent and autonomous energies. Just read the comments section on the BBC news website after a bad day for the stock markets and you will have a very clear idea of how the collective mind reacts to these kinds of events. Usually panic and fear, followed by even more panic and fear, which in turn creates even more panic and fear. It’s a vicious cycle and one it is beneficial not to be a part of.

So how does one separate from this chaotic energy, aside from switching off the TV and abstaining from reading news sites and papers? (which , by the way, is not always a recommended approach, as it is important that lightworkers have an idea of what’s happening in the world they are aiming to change).To detach from the collective energy, the first things that is required is to become conscious of it. Are the thoughts you are having in tune with the reality you want to create? Are they coming from your higher self, the one that knows that all is possible? Or are they coming from lower vibrating collective energy streams? If you are thinking of starting a new business and you find yourself thinking that this is a bad time to launch into something new; or if you need a loan and you find yourself thinking that, with all that is going on with the economy , this is a bad time to ask banks for loans; or if you are thinking that you need more clients and you find yourself thinking that it’s going to be hard as people don’t have money for extras right now; or if you are thinking of raising your rates and you think that surely people are not going to be able to afford your services, seen how money is tight these days; if you are thinking in any of these terms and limiting your life and expectations based on what you think the economy is doing out there, that’s a sure sign that you are plugged into the collective.

This is a time to call for you higher self and ask your higher self to unplug you from the mass mind and its energy streams. Visualize being lifted above the turbulent current of thoughts and emotions that is the mass mind and see yourself rising above it. Ask your higher self to envelop you in a bubble of love and light, filled with high vibrating thoughts about money. Ask to be reminded of the higher reality that is your prosperity, of your infinite ability to create an experience of your choosing despite the outer circumstance of the world. The world that you experience personally can be completely independent from the collective reality. It is possible for you to live in an oasis of peace and abundance despite any kind of outer turbulence. And incidentally, by doing so, you provide the collective with an energetic anchor point at a higher level of being, that if held steadily by a sufficient number of people, can create a stable flowing abundant stream of positive thoughtforms towards which the collective can gravitate. By keeping yourself above the fray, you can indeed assist in healing the world. Make it a daily habit to ask to be lifted into this higher bubble, where you can be infused with the higher vibrations of your higher self regarding all things financial.


Matching the Highest Energies

Once you have unplugged from the collective, you may choose to travel to an existing higher stream of energy and match the energies of a highly evolved being. This can help you not only to detach from the mass negative thoughtforms about money, but to raise your inner vibration to a higher level than the one you currently hold. And if you do this often, you will find that your overall vibration will shift dramatically and that long held beliefs and blockages regarding financial matters (even the ones rooted in past lives) will begin to heal and shift rapidly.


1-Ask to see the energy stream of the collective consciousness of finances and money. What does it look like? How does it feel? Is it a peaceful and simple river of energy or is it turbulent and complex? And where are you relative to this stream? Where is your energy? Are you in it? Above it? Below it?

2-Ask to be shown the highest consciousness stream available on the Earth plane.Look at this stream, observe it. In what way is it different from the one you just explored above? And where are you relevant to this higher stream? Are you below it? Move yourself within it. Are you above it? Congratulate yourself for vibrating this high.

3- Ask to be shown the being that is most ahead of the crowd, several steps ahead of any of the collective consciousness stream of finances and money. Observe their energy field, chakras and DNA. If this is for your highest good, ask your higher self to match your energy field chakras and DNA to theirs. If this being’s vibration is too high for you and matching them is not for your highest good, ask your higher self to find the being whose money consciousness is most suitable for you to match. Match the areas of your energy field, chakras and DNA where your money and prosperity consciousness reside to the ones in theirs. See your blockages melt away and your energy rise in vibration and expand as you do so.

4- Repeat at least once a week, until you can hold this high vibration steadily.Do not focus on the blockages, just focus on the energy you are matching. You will feel yourself moving into resonance with this being and all that is not matching this vibration will just effortlessly melt away, without any need to know about the roots of the blockages or cause. Just match the vibration and feel yourself vibrating higher and observe your energy field and chakras becoming clearer and brighter. Do not attach to the being that your are matching. Know that every time you do this exercise, you may attract a new being, one that is even higher in frequency. Too sudden and big of a leap in your energy may unsettle you and create instability and a releasing that is too intense. Your higher self may choose to step you up gradually, through progressively matching you with that of a sequence of increasingly higher vibrating beings. Trust that the right being for you with the perfect vibration necessary to step you up comfortably in your evolution will come through as divinely guided.


Challenge Yourself to Raise your Energy

Using this and other simple tools, you will easily be able to keep yourself above the lower energy currents that sometimes we experience in our world. Challenge yourself to not only detach to from the collective turbulence, but also to increase your own personal vibration in matters of money and finances. As you do so you will become a beacon of light leading the way for others to follow. And as many move into a higher flow, new streams of consciousness will form that can be easily embraced by all. And from this new consciousness, new ideas and forms will follow, which will help the reforms so needed in our world. This is indeed a wonderful opportunity for change. A change that in just as little a handful of years, may well be visible for all to see. Thank you from the higher realms for your most valuable contribution to the new collective energies to come and to the new forms to be. May you be blessed and showered in abundance as you walk your path.
