Prosperity, Money, And Generosity

By Nougye Mutungi Mukoma

Are we ever seeking anything other than the peace, joy, and serenity that all of the words above brings? The answer  translates into something quite incredible about our nature, in that our ultimate goal when we are not pain bound is to seek a point of Equilibrium, or we may also say of homeostasis, or happiness. Allow yourself to ponder about this thought within your own life. What are you engaged in within your life to bring prosperity,  money and generosity's fruit?

Today in blog,

Observing the laws of nature. And, anybody who does so eventually comes to the conclusion that, sometimes, these laws can be… intriguing, to say the least. And  sometimes, they might not even make sense. But who are we to question Mother Nature right?

Within the laws of nature, we, fortunately, or unfortunately, don’t have to be good or worthy in order to achieve an abundance of money. I know, as I have, that you must also have questioned why a person without good morals and ethics, or even the slightest bit of generosity, or compassion would be endowed with an abundance of money. It’s just one of those things about reality that doesn’t seem to make sense.

As we have encountered in the previous blogs, it continues to be noted that there are laws within this nature that function solely as blueprints, or algorithms. 1 plus 1 will always equal 2. Fortunately or unfortunately, it remains that, to prosper in abundance, you must acquiesce to the laws of nature.

We have all seen this and asked ourselves, “How was this person so abundantly blessed but it also happens that they are not of good nature?” It just goes to show that the law of nature can be misused. However, the attainment of wealth is worthy when preceded by good intentions, having much less karmic repercussions.

Poverty

The one who is considered and believed to be in poverty also submits to the very same rules and laws of nature… 1 + 1 = 2. I know we all understand the existence of external oppression, and I certainly don’t want to diminish that reality.

However, I tend to focus on what we can be accountable to do… which is to understand that when laws and principles are understood, we can shift our perceptions and create change within our inner world, which ultimately leads to a change in the external world.

Between the haves, the crook, the poor, and the ill-intentioned, there lies the power of a changeable mind, heart’s beliefs, and value system. So, use your power of prayer and meditation to help unearth negative beliefs allowing your true self and positive intentions to operate.

Now Money

We all use it. We all need it. Money. It’s a powerful energy and a representation of the level of energy one has accepted to disperse, as related to their internal thermometer, in rendering service to others. Catch your breath, that was a lot to expand!

So, the question is: are you willing to put forth the energy to rightly attain this beautiful entity? The operative term here is “rightly.” That’s because the positivity of money depends upon the holder, their thoughts, and their values.

You can chase money, or money can chase you if you seek it with good-hearted reverence to understand it. The universe will grant your visions, thoughts, and ideas, and people will come along your way to propel your movement toward this energy.

So, even when your perceptual bank may say 0 balance, the law of good-natured intentions will send forth its many angels to whisper goodness in your ear as to your next move. And who knows where this move might lead you or the doors that it might unlock. So, listen and act.

But do you know what our problem is? Sometimes, we do not finish what we start. We get distracted along the way, for many reasons,  and that's a whole other blog…. I mean, I have been guilty of that a few times myself. So, it’s very important to listen to your intuition and keep being consistent.

I am certainly learning more about this energy and have been humbled. Now, yes, people who are already ill-natured as per our perceptions and beliefs on morality may use this energy unfavorably. But what we need to consider is that we never know anyone’s internal suffering, as God has shielded such movement to the individual soul.

I can just say, you to be the best you. It’s okay to learn of this powerful exchange called money. When rightly understood, it can help you contribute to your humanity wholeheartedly.

Prosperity

Health and wealth. I believe them to be that which cannot be bought. They are in tune with your highest perception of self and the care that is given to you freely by God’s universe.

For example, our body is the most expensive possession of our earthly life. Yet, our perception is such that we may think of wealth as a fancy car, house, or yacht. But have you ever marveled at the intricacies and sophistication of this body and mind? It’s simply mind-blowing! It takes you everywhere, it makes your food a part of you, it makes you aware of your surroundings, and so on!

Not to diminish the religious books of many cultures, but the greatest book resides within this body and mind if you pay close attention. In fact, this is what a lot of spiritual philosophies have said since ancient times. Hence, when you prosper in your self-care and self-knowledge, you inevitably prosper within your external environment.

Hoarding

While it is certainly okay to pursue material possessions with a good nature and intentions, most humans seem to go overboard. There may be numerable of reasons for this. Maybe it’s part of our survival instincts where we think that more stuff gives us a greater chance of survival, especially in times of crises. Remember covid?

Or maybe it gives people a constant stream of dopamine to know that they have more stuff than other people. Some take material possessions very seriously, I mean we all do to some extent, even the man of poverty may elevate its ego in the pride of his/her objects.  As well, there are others who feel their status to be elevated by material possessions, and think very little of other people. In other words it remains within the character and ego control of the individual as to how they manage possessions and interact with others. Mindful presence is a key to self observation, and honesty of self will bring forth insight.

I am certain you are also aware that we live in a world where consumerism is laden on us from every direction, I mean billboards of information all in competition for your attention . Businesses wake up praying for your eyes, ears, heart, mind and your thoughts, hoping your  feet to carry you there, as well as your emotional action . It’s a hyper-capitalistic world we live in and you are constantly told that you are missing out if you don’t have the latest and greatest things. This promotes hoarding further and almost instills in our subconscious minds that it is somehow a good thing. I mean, even I am in line for your attention, but… hoping that it is in a good way making a difference in your mind, thoughts, heart, and life.

But pause for a while and lift the veil that the world has put over your eyes, you will realize that all you are doing by hoarding is increasing the complexities of your life. You don’t need heavy luggage to live the journey of life. The lighter you travel, the easier the journey gets and the happier you are.

Be conscious of what you really need and what you really don’t need. What you don’t, give it to someone who does. This leads me straight to my next point - generosity.

Generosity

Think about it for a second. Do we not, within this nature, come from an abundance of generosity? Look around you… not at the objects that were co-created by man but at the things we haven’t made. I believe we sometimes live in a false sense of generosity, but if we emulate nature, how could we go wrong as to what we share freely and abundantly so that no one would go without?

Within our world, we have been made to believe that God is for us all and each man for him or herself. I plead for you to look into your own generosity. It doesn’t have to be that of monetary, although, if you supply your energy of thought and service, you may benefit your fellow man and your nature greatly if with a kind and altruistic heart.

There are many ways we may display our generosity within our talents with no need to play small, as we are the drop from the ocean of abundance, after all!

Food For Thought…

In the end, the wealth of creation beams and shines its abundance in all its glory for us to see. We are so busy that we miss it. Therefore, we don’t give life the opportunity to shine within our lives to an extent that we may reflect and realize its true beauty.

Also, we live in a world of egoic oppression and suppression of the authenticity of being. This makes for the living of a second-hand nature.

Therefore, be mindfully authentic, prosperous, and wealthy, as we are of abundance and we must live to reflect this world within our material life for the benefit of all.

Thank you as always for your reading. Wishing you the best… first in prosperity, which is the abundance of health, next, wisdom, and then the knowledge of self.

As a wise book says, then all else shall be added onto you!

Blessings,
