When you look at your life today, is there any moment in which money is not involved?
Even if you are not making a major purchase, everything you receive—objects, food and drink, places, experiences, knowledge, transportation—comes as an exchange for money that was paid somewhere along the way.
Even if you are completely alone, not eating anything, not moving your body, it has become almost impossible in today’s world to find a situation where the presence of money is absent.
I often hear that many people admire the lifestyle of living in Hawaii, imagining it as a life of freedom where you can go to beautiful beaches anytime. But even for those of us who live here, most people need a car to get to the beach. That means gasoline, of course. And if you go with your family, no matter how much you try to save, you still have to prepare snacks and lunch.
As you may have seen in the news, prices in the U.S. have risen sharply. And taxes—throughout the year we spend a significant amount of time dealing with them.
Whenever you turn on the news, there will always be something about the economy.
Although it seems we are constantly connected to money, have you ever tried cleaning your relationship with money? What does it mean to clean with money?
As I mentioned earlier, if money is involved in every aspect of our lives, then there is always a kind of “conversation” happening between money and us—feelings, thoughts, memories. These color our daily experiences.
When painting with watercolors, if you don’t wash your brush and leave the previous color on it, the new color will never appear as you intended.
In the same way, when we do something or go somewhere without cleaning the memories we carry about money, the memories being replayed between money and ourselves color everything we experience.
I am reminded of something the late Morrnah once said to a woman.
This woman was about to make a donation to support people suffering from a serious illness. Morrnah asked her:
“Have you cleaned yourself?”
“Unless you clean your own memories, all of the memories, emotions, and states you are carrying will be placed onto that money. And through that money, they will influence everything and everyone who receives it.”
If, for example, you feel “how sad” or “how unfortunate” about the illness, and you donate without cleaning that feeling, then the money will carry that emotion—and all the memories connected to it—straight to the recipient.
Donating does not end the connection.
Even if you believe you are living your separate life afterwards, if the connection remains tied through the Aka Cord, no one can fully experience the freedom needed to fulfill their true role in the place where they are now.
Do you ever feel constantly chased by time?
Daily payments, appointments, the feeling that you must accomplish something by a certain age—all of these exist.
The more we clean the memories between ourselves and time, and between ourselves and money, the more those memories are erased throughout all connections that extend far beyond the limits of our thinking mind.
When we clean memories about money, we often begin with something perceived by the conscious mind—an event, a worry, or a struggle.
But what is actually cleaned reaches far beyond our imagination, extending through time, matter, and every direction.
So when you clean your worries about money, what is being erased may be something related to your ancestors, something related to health, or something that may even affect your children or future children.
Through cleaning the experiences you have around financial matters, we are actually fulfilling a far greater role than we realize.
Peace,
