Does Money Stop You From Being Spiritual



During one of my early trips to Thailand I was having lunch at a friend’s restaurant, where I met this spiritually grounded yet wealthy man. In conversation I found out that this C.E.O. of a multi-million dollar business was once a Buddhist monk.  Still very western in my ways at the time, I was astounded. This where I found out in Thai culture it is very common for a man to be a monk for sometime then go back to a regular life. This is where I first realized spirituality and material gain are not mutually exclusive.

We are conditioned to believe that those who are spiritual in the metaphysical sense tend to struggle with their monetary life. Some actually embrace it, claiming money is evil or that they don’t need it. Even taking pride in being poor or not having money. What these people don’t realize is that when you have this mentality you are actually playing into the hands of the matrix. Why? Because denying an obvious fact of your existence is not really the way to achieve true knowledge. These are new days and the actual laws of nature and physics are changing. With that shift comes a shift in the universal mentality. So what am I saying? That in the times we live in today in order to truly escape the matrix not only do you need the spiritual knowledge to surpass it but you need knowledge of the physical to survive it and get through it. Basically what I am saying is you cannot escape the matrix when your physical life is oppressed by it. That is one of the keys that the powers that be use to keep you trapped where you are.

Let’s take Siris King himself for example. Now Siris does not claim to be rich by any means and we all know of his spiritually prowess, yet he travels the world regularly and has been doing for years.  How is he able to make this possible? Siris King has mastered both sides. Siris knows having money to do things does stop your spiritual transformation by any means. The money can actually help in so many ways, from purchasing books to traveling to some spiritually rooted places to learn and grow.

Understandably many people associate money with greed and rightfully so. The capitalist society we live in has created countless atrocities in search of making a profit. That being said; having money does not mean you have consist of the same greed. Use money as a shield to help you survive in the capitalist society you live in. Then use it as a weapon to buy what you need to advance yourself in your spiritual growth. Mentalities need to change and we all need to wake up to the reality that exists around us. Not to be insensitive, but there is no more time for excuses as to why things are not happening , because the universe is changing and is not going to wait for you to catch up.

I agree. There has been a great divide between the ‘matrix’ philosophies and the ‘spiritual’. It’s usually one or the other. But the key to truly living in this dimension is to have them both co-exists at the same time. Many spiritual people have the believe structure that being ‘spiritual’, means giving up material luxuries, be a hippy and sing about bliss all day. This spiritual illusion (or believe structure) is beautiful and makes us ‘feel good’ I must admit, but it’s not going to help you SURVIVE the new spiritual shift. It’s time to bring back balance between the spiritual and the material world.

Thanks for the article!

I am so excited about the expansion of this network!
"Basically what I am saying is you cannot escape the matrix when your physical life is oppressed by it." you said it best here Hec. So many people miss this and unfortunately remain stuck for ever broke in the matrix.
Coming up in the "cultural community" I always thought it was so strange that these "brothers and sister" would claim to be gods and godddess, kings, queens, empresses and pharaohs but not have two pennies to rub together. Also for those "super spiritual" beings I never understood why someone would not want to maximize the human experience. Our wealth, health, spirituality all affect each other. As Mak said "It’s time to bring back balance between the spiritual and the material world."

Great Job Hec!
Let's get this money :)

Good stuff!!! yeah your spirituality has to materialize in certain aspects in this 3D.....because it is a material world....we shouldn't worship materialism as the masses do...But we should not be controlled or governed by it's limitations either... we should focus on living a life without limits in either regard....Balance is tha key!!!

[David Hathor]

Wonderful Article. I need to focus balancing my spiritual and material life.

Well said guys,

I totally agree. Whilst I am still extricating myself from my broke past, I do not see it as my virtue, more as my old karma that delivered me certain big lessons and now I am working my way into the true magic of manifestation. Hail to the Inner Wealth manifested!!!!

This is a great post Hec, it was well and truly needed. You are right when you say there is no more time for excuses, I hope people realise this before it is too late and miss their chance. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comment N. Yeah I know the monetary system is not the highest level of existence but if you are spiritually powerful your spirituality should be able to effect the physical world. If you cannot then you need to rethink how powerful you think you are. As the ascended masters/gods of old controlled the physical world too as Amun-ra, shiva, enki, christ all were able too. The first rule or law is survival and right or wrong we need money to survive. If it is wrong we can change the system but before we change it we need to build power. Part of building power is breaking free of the matrix chains/bondage

I agree %100. I always say I want plenty money so I can study this world and universe easily & comfortably, without havin to spend my time and energy doing worldly stuff. So much energy and time will be wasted worrying about troubles that arise when you don't have comfortable money. Like you said, How can I travel and learn the world without money. Some of the greatest philosophers lived the "Good Life". They were great philosophers because there was more time for them to study and mediate, less worries, less working.

From vows to freedom

What I found interesting is these monetary wows we had made lets say in the past lives. I know I have carried this like a curse: I will not sell myself into any industry, unless its doing what Im really supposed to be doing on the highest level. Well I have been searching for what my mission was, and for who I was, for the last many years of my life and my energy just refused to invest itself into wordly concerns. I just needed pretty much all of my energy to go introverted. So my outer life suffered and was neglected but for me, I was still getting out of it what I needed.
Nevertheless, the journey and the times have changed and now I am ready to build up my own golden empire around who I am and why I am here. I am ready to come outwards and to enjoy it with integrity.
Therefore hail to this article, hail to the Golden Age of manifested abundance on all levels.

Money is only a temporary tool for sure. We should strive to move past that but it is still a tool we need. In order to build our own system we need to take elements from this system and then rip it down. We need money to do that so you are right my brother money does not have to stop you from being spiritual. Though for me personally I could do without capitialism I prefer a barter system. I think it is more civilizied and it stops people from getting to material by clinging to things.
