Let’s discuss debt, the economy and where fear comes in to play with our modern day, “The sky is falling” lifestyle.

First of all, let us define money. Money is the energy of exchange or transfer of value. It is neither good nor bad, it just is. You build wealth by building some type of value within you, and then extending this value outside of you. For example, you can learn to be a doctor, and thereby build that type of value within you. Or you can learn how to start a business that provides a service to people. You build value within you, and then you extend that outside, through trade or other means, and in exchange of that extension you are compensated with cash money. Cash money is merely an exchange of value within and between beings. See, money in itself is neither good nor bad. It is just an exchange of the underlying values between two or more participants.

I am sure you all know that before cash money was invented in it’s present form, people used to trade by barter. They would exchange goods. Finally, one day, a powerful merchant family said “We have another way we can do this”. I believe it was the Medici family of Florence, although the Romans and other civilizations also had their own coins. Anyway, the first paper money worked as follows. A trader would go exchange his or her goods for gold. They then take this gold to deposit it with the Medici, and the Medici write up a paper with their signature and seal, a paper that would represent the gold that was deposited with them. This solved various security and portability issues and increased trade. This paper, upon return to the Medici, would be exchanged into its gold equivalent. That is where the gold standard came from. This system when it came to added interest and paying back more than was received for loans and such was somewhat flawed to begin with. But even moreso now days since our paper doesn’t even have the gold or anything of value to back it. We circulate paper and numbers these days. Debt, by its very nature, is designed to fail for a certain percentage of the population, no matter how much effort or care they put into it working for them! And it is simply because there is not enough money created for the interest requested. The only reason this illusion has managed to run this far is that there are millions of players. Every now and then, the debt bubble bursts, but someone somewhere comes and rescues it, again with more debt and more conditions of control. It happens to individuals, companies and countries. And it keeps rising, getting bigger and bigger.

Think for a moment about the mortgage game that many of us play. (Mortgage). What does that word mean? Where does it come from? Split it up and look at its origins. Mort, muerto, mortuary, morgue… do you see the root? Gage, engage. Engaged till death. Why would your house loan be called a name that has its word origins from the words that mean death and engagement? Why those two? Of all the millions of words, why those two? Hmmm.

Alright, back to this debt thing. What does debt make you feel; especially when you cannot pay it or you are worried about how to pay it or missing a payment? It makes you feel fear. Whatever is scaring you is attempting to control your thoughts and actions and is stealing your energy for its own growth. There are two ways to grow. Out of fear and out of love. The fear-based growth works, but it is destined for eventual collapse, simply because it is not real. Nothing real can be threatened, and nothing that is unreal exists but as an illusion. This is not the time to blame the issuers of debt, or anyone else for that matter. There is no judgment or guilt in the matter. Only energetic facts. The minute you start playing a blame and judgment game, you enter into the victim position, and that is no good for you. Not good at all!

So really, debt is a product of fear, and a deep seated belief in not having and not being able to have. Not the other way around. And fear is a means of control. We all play the control game. We play it with our spouses, family, friends, competitors, customers, and so on. What happens when you feel that you are in control of another person? You feel powerful, and they feel drained. But, there is a rule that says “As above, so below”. The physical is evidence of the spiritual. Fear, were you to observe it at an energy level, leads to the victimizer sucking the energy out of the victim. It is an energy game. When one is in fear, they lose energy to those who put fear into them. Isn’t that the way any abusive relationship works? It does not matter whether this relationship is between people, institutions or countries.

The fact is this: debt is a function of fear and self-worth issues. You will find that people with more love of their own self, and high self-esteem, are very wealthy and prosperous, especially on the long-term, and if they choose to be. Prosperity is a natural result of love and self-worth. Look at the rich. Even if they have debt, their asset column is longer than their debt column. They only use debt as a tool. And they always have more assets than debt. And what is their demeanor like? Confident, stable, of high self-worth and self-esteem, and their love column is often longer than their fear column. They may have fears, of course, but their fears do not outweigh their love and passion for who they are, what they do, and the world they live in.

Now consider people with debt problems, or countries with debt problems. What is the personality of such people? Chaos, fear, never having enough, support issues, and so on. These do not arise because of debt. The debt arises because of these mental states. Remember, we are not judging anything here. We are merely observing energetic facts. There is no need of tying a thought and an emotion to that fact. Now, the debt merely represents them losing their life energy to an external entity. But they only lose it because they accept to do so. Only they can say “I accept”. And only they can say “OK, I have had it with this crap, I put my foot down, and I am now seeing myself differently.”

The debt rope is always being thrown at us all the time. You don’t have to grab it. The world has built a very large global fear-ego, and this fear-ego is expressing itself in various physical means to maintain itself. Our world is now a world of contracts that try to commit you into debt (we now even have phone contracts that penalize you for not using the service for a certain amount of time!); credit cards that do the same; jobs that scare you towards that end. But none of these systems are to blame. Only you can accept them. And they can only work on you when you accept them. These big bad monsters are rubber ducks, because they depend on your agreement with them for their own functioning. Take responsibility, and you will find then, and only then, that you have response ability. And avoid these debt traps. You must unplug yourself from the group consciousness of the Fear Ones, and join the Love Ones. It may be scary as you make the switch, for there is a gap to cross. Things may fall off to make space for new ones of the new way. But once you cross it you will wonder how you ever had agreed to live any other way.

We have to look at it this way. There is nothing really wrong with debt, when used as a tool. But when it arises, as it mostly does, from fear and negative self-worth beliefs, then it is a control game being played, a painful one at that. A game we created and continue to create.

Arise out of fear and belief in inadequacy. Arise out of issues with negative self-worth. Recognize that there is a game being played. An energetic game with simple rules. As above, so below. Change your above (your mind/thoughts), and your below (your physical actions) will change automatically.

Fear and ignorance are at the root of all the problems we have faced in the past and continue to face today! You want to get out of debt and create your path to health, wealth and wisdom? Turn off your T.V’s and radios and start to search for the RIGHT answers inside of yourself. Life happens through you, not to you. You don’t have to be a victim of the non sense that is taking place around us today! (It’s time to start being creative with our investments and our lifestyle. That’s how the REAL big boys do it!)
