The Value of Spiritual Awakening

Don’t Buy Others’ Bill of Goods

We have been sold a bill of goods, a pack of lies promising prosperity and value but yielding very little of that. Yes, a bill of goods. Do you know what that bill of goods is?

It’s the fraudulent claim that a bill of goods is what comprises life, a list of all the things that an unregulated capitalism promises. Problem.

We don’t arrive on this Earth scene as expressions of Spirit Incarnate to make a fortune. Why don’t we? We already have a fortune, but the bill of goods we have been sold is we don’t have wealth. The bill of goods we focus on, clamor after, and lust for is money, a materialistic fortune.

An ancient text tells its readers that the love of money is the root of all evil. Modern readers of that text point out, consistently, that money isn’t evil; the evil is loving money. Do you want to guess as to the false concept they and the collective of the world, in general, have bought?

They have proudly purchased the bullshit idea that they don’t love money. They do. I have, too, at times, but coming to awaken to my own Heart and knowing myself have shown me I do not require vast wealth for anything, at least not the sort of wealth being promised. Redefine wealth for yourself.
