It seems that some of people's stress about money might be the fact that no one is socially "allowed" to talk about it. I am not "allowed" to come right out and say that all we need to save our house is $1,000 because some people seem "threatened" by this information. I have realized that our society's fear of just talking about money is a huge part of the problem with our country's economy. I literally think that people are scared that by talking about their money, that they will become vulnerable and exposed somehow. Money itself is not a reflection of us, but how we deal with money is. Perhaps we can help each other learn better ways of dealing with money if we could just talk with each other about why it is, or is not, working.
When our family business burnt down in 2007, several times a day, people sympathetically said, "If there is anything you need, just ask." Well, I experimented with how people would react to the money conversation and I answered very honestly, "We need money to pay our bills now that we have no income for awhile," and people got soooo uncomfortable. The next thing I knew, the conversation was suddenly over.
It made me realize: how many other people do I know who really need help but are too socially afraid to just say it? What is wrong with needing help? Would our entire country be in better condition financially right now if people would just get over this fear and start talking about what is going on with our money?!?! I think that this secrecy about finances works in favor of those who are trying to control the masses. If no one is talking, face to face, about our money, then how are we going to expose the lies on a larger scale? If we as a people don't talk, they won't either.
As a light-worker, I have never enjoyed secrecy or things hidden in shadows. It must be from what I experienced as a kid, but it does get under my skin when so many people are walking around pretending that everything is hunky-dory. The reason why our government is the way it is is because every day average people are they way they are. The macrocosm reflects the microcosm. It's okay to need help. It's okay to ask for help. But why the secrecy? Can't we just talk about it? How can we help each other out of financial difficulties if we can't bring ourselves to be okay with the possibility of conversation?

Wise words Stacey, this country has been surviving off of false financial stability for many years. From the 70's when retirement went from your money being in savings accounts, bonds, and CD's to the invention of 401K's which are tied to the stock market. Another way for our government to gain control of the public masses financially. The financial down fall today is about truth. Getting back to living by truth of finances, ethics and morals.
My husband and I were talking about that today as a matter of fact. He's been feeling inadequate as the bread winner because we don't have a portfolio of money set aside for retirement. It's caused extreme stress on his body and his emotions and you know what it doesn't matter to me. Frankly, if we would have had money in a 401K, it would be diminished down to almost nothing today, so I'm glad I haven't lost all that money. There are some people out there that this has been a devastating reality, it is affecting their health and frame of mind.
A wise instructor of mine recently said, MONEY IS JUST AN EXCHANGE OF ENERGY, GOD PROVIDES FOR US ALL, WE JUST HAVE TO TRUST AND REALLY TRUST IN HIM. I have put my full trust in God that he will take care of my husband and I. If we live life for his glory and guidance He will reward us. God has got a real hand in all this financial fall, but Man is trying to once again be GOD with these buy outs, especially the first ones with the financial institutions. We as citizens need to quit feeding this frenzy with fear which is what the majority is doing. We need to look at all of this as a gift from God and stay positive no matter what. This is our lives, our country and we finally need to start speaking up for ourselves, nothing to hide and nothing to be embarrassed about. We all need to learn to live by our spiritual essence and not our ego.
Blessings to All!!!
I have to say that I am constantly learning about "speaking out". I agree that talking about money would probably be a good thing. However, the doom and gloom not to mention the constant lack that is so often expressed when speaking of money is something I choose to avoid. It is a difficult balance for me between putting my head in the sand and creating what I want through the Law of Attraction.
Wow! I agree with you whole-heartedly. Thanks for sharing. God is lucky to have people like you helping to spread peace, love and truth. More power to you!
