You are referring to two essential things. One is the Law of Alignment. Everyone has heard about the Law of Attraction. But that is only one of the Dream Laws –the laws by which energy becomes matter or by which we create our dreams in this material reality. The Law of Alignment is not so popular, but it is essential. You can attract the wrong things to you if you are not in alignment with your True Self. And that’s the beauty of what you are saying.

The second thing that I find important, and a bit harder to understand for many people, is the Paradox of Prosperity that you are presenting.

“Money is important. But money is not that important.”
“Make up your minds, will ya?”
Both statements are true.

I often find that we use money as an excuse NOT to do our best or to manifest what we profess to desire. “I’d do this, but I don’t have the money,” is one of the common cop-outs.

During a ceremony many years ago, Oggun, the Yoruba Orisha (Elemental Power) of Iron, leadership and organization (A force, which, by the way is the crown force of the USA), taught me a lesson about this.

I was going through a really difficult time. I had no money to pay the rent. My electricity had been cut off, and I was doing my ceremony under candlelight. (Needless to say that I had big issues with money). Oggun asked me to do a ceremony for each Orisha or elemental force. I needed to understand how these forces moved within me. As I was in training as a shaman, there was only one answer I could give, and that was Yes.

“BUT….” I said, “I have no money. A ceremony requires money. Why don’t I wait until I have money, so I can buy beautiful fabrics and offerings for each Orisha?”

“You got it all wrong, child,” Oggun said. “The money does NOT come first. Your INTENT comes first. You take action from the place of pure intent. You want to know the forces? You celebrate them. You dance them. You take action.Then money comes.”

So I did. I don’t know how I did it, but I created beautiful tapestry for the altars. I got color candles. I played music and offer delicious treats to the Orishas….And before I finished the ceremonies, I had a check of $1,000 in my hands, out of the blue sky. My rent was paid. My electricity was back up. And I began my healing journey in my relationship with money.

I share this in the hopes that it will help those who are wondering right now what to do because they don’t have money or the money is ending. Go to the infinite source. Move from there. The money will come.

Light and love,
