Shifting from Money as Power to POWER as Power
... Shifting from Effect to Cause
... from Victim to Creator
(Post-script added December 13, 2008)
The other night, a few days after instantly manifesting a $10 bill, I was testing my tolerance level ... where my believe-ability dropped off ... in the amount of money I could just as easily receive.
As I was doing this I experienced an inner voice indicating to me that I was missing the point. That money is just bits of paper and metal engraved with symbols ... numbers entered into a computer ... compared to the real, intangible POWER of the intelligent force behind any creation.
This experience was quite vivid. It allowed me to step back from trying to pinpoint how much money I was receptive to (effect-victim), to wondering just how difficult could it be for this immense POWER ... this POWERFUL Creator-Self ... to create these engraved bits of paper and metal representing money, and to materialize them (cause).
Apparently, not difficult at all since I managed to instantly manifest a $10 bill just a few days ago and with it, succinctly experience being the cause ... the Creator ... the Intelligent Force ... the POWER ... behind that bit of engraved paper that fell at my feet ... IT being the result ... the effect ... of my having consciously called it forth.
What a profound lesson in the difference between cause and effect ... between money as power, and POWER as Power ... and, given today's headlines, in what is authentic POWER and what is not.
Which reminds me of something Ian X. Lungold said:
"today's monetary system is a mental construct floating in the air based on the "confidence" people have in it."
Money is not POWER ... POWER is Power!
At the time I manifested the $10 bill I was asking the Universe, Can I now (am I capable of) manifesting money? The Universe's answer with that $10 bill dropping at my feet was, Yes, Audrey, you are capable; you have the POWER to do so.
I've been mulling this over in the back of my mind now for several days and then yesterday (September 17, 2008) I came across the article The Economy by Kathleen Long dated March 27, 2008 (I rarely pay attention to articles that aren't current dated because what was relevant then may no longer be relevant now). Kathleen basically makes several of the same points I've blogged about, and adds this fresh perspective:
"...Money is what is shifting at this time in its position of power and fear is beginning to rise and claim hold onto those who have denied themselves their prosperity. They will do so [deny their prosperity] until they release the old consciousness of victim that lives within them and embrace their power....
...Fear of money issues must be released in order to hold the power of the creator consciousness that is descending upon the planet. Those fears are rising within the consciousness of the world because fear must be released in order for this new consciousness to express itself....
When you hear the 'bad news' about the economy, know that it is the beginning of the end of a world and government that has been false. It is collapsing to be rebuilt in a new consciousness and a new order where money is no longer the symbol of power over others; rather it becomes a symbol of abundance and joy.
Money becomes a gift you give to yourself as only the creator can. As the creator of your life you know it as a gift
but within a consciousness of victim, it is the greatest symbol of fear and survival.
As one shifts their consciousness, they shift their symbols."
So we must release our victim consciousness ... stop pretending we are the effect or at the mercy of something outside ourselves ... and take responsibility for everything we're experiencing in our lives as our own creation ... creations of the POWERFUL Creator Beings we are ... When we can say about the good, the bad and the ugly in our lives ... I created this! ... THAT is the point wherein we embrace our POWER ... and it is at that point we can consciously choose to create more of the same or something different based upon the results we wish to experience.

In hindsight, with this experience I was being shown and asked to discover, to realize ... to KNOW ... that LOVE is the Power of Creation. This KNOWING that LOVE is the Power behind Creation occurred for me on November 24, 2008 and can be considered the happy ending to this particular blog.
