The adage that “The love of money is the root of all evil.” has been well established during the course of humanity’s rise to planetary pre-eminence. When you consider this from universal principles, the allure and the effect of money becomes less of a problem and more of an opportunity.
Money is the ultimate medium of exchange. Portable, universal (in the sense of being in common use) and easily available under most circumstances, the transactional representation of money fits every bill. The exchange is the basic nature of the inter-relationships between people. We learn and strive to balance our natures and relationships to afford us the peace of mind and body that allows us to survive and evolve. Energetically, balance is an example of equilibrium. Equilibrium is achieved when the energy field is at its lowest potential, that is to say where polarities are at a minimum.
Thus, the purpose of the exchange is to produce and provide an equilibrium in our existence that affords us the peace that we seek and deserve. Work hard to earn money so that you can afford a nice life (except potentially for the work required to get the money…). It is this potential that must be reduced by revaluing the extremes between acquiring and expending money. When it has the value that it deserves and is not a source of envy or some other emotional states that introduce doubt and bias into our relationships, money will serve us and not require our (debt) service.
Evil is also a polarity. Money can do as much good as it can have evil done by those seeking it. Fear (of loss) and greed (the desire to acquire) contribute to the emotional content of money as a means of exchange. Refinement is the universal principle that governs how money affect us. The more we determine our real needs (as opposed to our illusory wants and desires) the easier dealing with money becomes. Once you have what you need, generosity (the spiritualized form of the universal principle of balance) kicks in to ensure that we “share and share alike”. Once you no longer want for your requirements, sharing becomes a part of caring and that is a step that we have to take so money can play a role in our continuing evolution.
