The world is an abundant place and your natural state is one of abundance. When you are living in abundance you are connected to the flow of life. That's the way life is meant to be. As you move towards enlightenment (go through a process of self development) you are opening your self to the free flow of energy. Your life becomes abundant. Abundance means having plenty. Plenty of whatever you want. This is not to be confused with having just enough, which is a lesser state of being. Having plenty means having a reserve.

Money is only energy its not good or bad it is neutral. It has the value that you or society attributes to it. It's a very easy to use exchange medium and if you are living in western society you cannot survive without it. If you have more money you have more choice in life and do not need to concern yourself with issues of survival. This leaves you room to pursue other issues such as your personal growth.

Money is directly linked to how well you tap into the spiritual energy of the universe. If you are poor this is often a sign that you are have a block in this area. The block is related your self worth & lack of spirituality. That doesn't mean all rich people are spiritual and have high self worth but when you are poor it certainly shows that you are detached from the flow of life. Remember that there is no direct link with your self worth and the exact number of dollars you have. It's an issue of abundance vs. lack.

Don't fall into the trap of neglecting money matters on the pretence that money is not spiritual. People who have money are in a much better position than the rest of the population to help others. Just look at how much money some of the worlds richest people donate to charity. On this page you will find a range of articles about money, wealth and abundance which will help you understand the concept. When you understand the concept behind something the action required becomes easy.

If you think that you should abandon your possessions and money to somehow become better or to find your spiritual side, then let me tell you that's just a complete load of crap. To walk the spiritual path and move towards enlightenment you need to be detached from the emotions that link you to needing money and possessions.
