Before discussing the symbol of money and the effect it has upon a person’s life, one must understand the Law of Karma.
Many people believe that the Law of Karma will cause a punishing force for evil acts, or, rewards for positive behavior. That is a misjudgment. Karma is like the auto-immune system of the physical body. It comes into play to protect when one is causing pain to the Self in any form.
Karma is a loving force of teaching. It makes no judgment against any negative act. If a soul inflicts pain upon itself or others, the karmic response becomes a specifically appropriate lesson to guide the consciousness away from that negative behavior.
Pain can often be a part of a karmic lesson because humans seldom change behavior unless they ”touch a hot stove”. It is often thought that karma is punishing the person for their misdeeds. The truth is, it is never punishing; for that would be an act stemming from judgment that the negative behavior was in some way “bad”.
Judgment is a mental state of thinking that things are either “good” or “bad”. They are not; they just are. The One Mind does not ever judge, only loves unconditionally everything and everyone in its care. Since the fundamental truth is that “All is One”, the Universe does not judge any one of the infinite individuated parts of its own Body
That is why when mankind entered a period of judgment in its evolutionary process, he mentally separated from Universal Consciousness, being in a temporary state of shame and fear of self expression. In other words, for a period of time, he would be caught in a state of Ego.
The symbol of Adam, and his inner feminine, binary self, Eve, eating the red fruit, represents the negative judgments against the darkest, angriest feelings, and the primal, sexual nature, as being “bad”.
The fig leaf symbol represents this time of self-hatred. Basically, everything that’s centered at the Red Survival Chakra at the base of the body of the hue-man spectrum, was, and still to this day, judged negatively. The red apple is the well-known symbol that represents mankind’s mental act of swallowing its anger and holding it for eons in a state of denial.
Once the feminine, Yin aspect is valued fully again, which is now beginning to occur across the globe, that rage held in denial can then be spit out and released for the good and health of the species. It is not an easy or pleasant task, which is why it has been mentally controlled and avoided up until now.
Misunderstood on the fundamental level, “Judgment Day” is that time in the current period when men and women will stop judging reality, including themselves. It is not when people will be judged from above for their “sins”. Much of religious dogma has things utterly backwards, maintaining an incorrect view of the nature of reality that is locked in past, foolish misjudgments.
Karma is therefore a guiding and teaching force attempting to maintain balance of the Yin and Yang aspects, which is an act of love, not punishment. Hence, one should never be afraid of a karmic lesson, for it is there to help the spirit back onto their proper path, giving a mirror of the self-destructive behavior that is presently occurring in order to evolve the soul. Now that karma is understood as only a loving force of learning, let’s delve into more deeply, the limited nature of money.
Money is a symbol of energy and therefore cannot be held forever. It must eventually pass through the hands of the person who has temporarily amassed it. The title of the 1938 clever movie by director, Frank Capra, “You Can’t Take It With You,” states this truth clearly.
Humans use money every day. Yet they generally do not understand exactly what money is and how it aligns with one’s life path. Some people are born into great sums of money, while others are raised in a state of severe poverty. It seems somehow unfair that there is such an inequality of resources available for each human. What one needs to understand is that the Law of Karma comes into play with each and every life experience.
The soul, through specific acts in the past has amassed either positive or negative karma depending upon the actions or deeds that were committed during each and every incarnation. As well, there can be intentions stemming from the soul level that require a severe test of courage, faith, hope or charity along the winding road of life. If the soul wishes to test itself by being born into poverty, to see if it can rise above that difficult beginning, money is therefore the necessary limit used as a tool during the life lesson.
The physical plane is all about limit. The higher realms are unlimited in their capacity to create and form reality. In the third dimension, the Physical Plane is intrinsically limited in space and time. For instance, there are only so many molecules of gold contained within the planet Earth. And since money is a representation of the precious metals or crystals of the world, that limit is meant to be part of the life structure. It is a matrix or set of limited circumstances that the human consciousness wishes to remain within in order to test the individual soul.
To define money further, one needs to see it as energy. All of reality is made up of light energy, existing at any one moment in varying degrees of density. Money, or that which it represents, is no exception.
When one performs a service for another person, the individual is rewarded by remuneration hopefully that is in alignment with the energy used to perform the service or create the product. In today’s world, that balance of energy expressed and monetary reward given is often unbalanced.
On one hand, there is the housekeeper who toils each day earning very little for the energy exchange. In contrast, the CEO of a corporation can pull in millions in a year for much less physical toil and effort. Here seems again an unfair energy exchange. One needs to look broader than just that simple equation of “energy equals money” to see why there is often such discrepancies in payment.
For instance, the soul of the CEO can be challenging itself by being rich in order to see how greed or lack of generosity is still contained within the consciousness. That mirror of abundance, which the Earth Plane is so good at presenting, is therefore a necessary situation for the CEO to grow spiritually on the soul level.

The stock market needs to be examined further since it is one of the main monetary systems of the world. It once began with people supporting a business by investing via the purchase of stocks in what they thought to be eventually a successful enterprise. As Man played more and more in this form, it eventually transitioned to being more of a gambling casino than a way of supporting products or services that one wants to encourage.
Currently one can support a business by buying stocks, and then in a nano second, sell off those stocks for another company that seems to be momentarily doing better. This is in no way supportive of enterprise, merely a way that a person thinks they are getting themselves richer with no regard for the continuing life of a business that they originally supported. This type of fast switch can also lead to the support of some businesses that one would not be in alignment with one’s moral center.
Due to the nature of money as being limited in this dimension, one needs to understand that money does not pop out of thin air. It is a symbol of energy. And there is only so much energy at any one time in play. Therefore if one makes a mint on the stock market, it can be assured that energy originating from another person or source is being captured temporarily.
The more the rich get richer, the more the poor get poorer. That is why currently 90% of the wealth in the world is held selfishly by 1% of the population. It is a pyramid structure with an insecure foundation that will eventually topple. This is complete imbalance and has already shown to be very unstable as a business form causing the Great Depression in 1929.
And then when the bubble burst in 2008, few lessons were again learned in terms of controlling greed expressed by the trading practice of selling quickly when a business may have a temporary problem with profit. It shows a lack of continual support and does not reflect the nature of the Universe. Only Man in ego and greed, thinking money is the primary answer to their happiness, would behave this way. It is not a healthy pursuit.
Not to say that there is something wrong with being in abundance, but the manner one achieves wealth is important. The click of a mouse or calling one’s broker with a stock tip, is too little effort for the resulting monetary energy exchange. So there is fundamentally a misunderstanding of money as equal energy for effort for those who dabble in this form.
That is not to say, that buying stocks to support a business is wrong. It is needed often for a business to get started. However, exiting that support if it is believed money can be made more quickly from stocks of another business, then the initial act of support becomes soul-less. The stock market evolving in this way, allowing for instantaneous selling, eventually devalues the symbol of money too for this same reason.
When the Law of Karma comes into play, from past acts of thievery or greed, the spiritual dimension makes sure that the person experiences a similar act often by another in order to learn and burn off the old karmic burden. So if a person finds that during their life, no matter how hard they work, they can never get ahead, it can be that their soul is wishing to experience that pain in order to learn to not be as greedy as it may have been in the past. So a lesson is learned, as well as negative karma is removed from the soul level.
As said before, money is energy. So if one holds onto money instead of spreading it around or letting it pass through one’s hands to another for service or product, then the energy gets stuck, blocked, and really does no one any good.
Being too conservative is being in an ego state of fear, afraid of possible, future limitations. The Universe is fundamentally unlimited. Fear of limit is therefore a mental illusion of the ego. The main character of Dolly Levi, in the play by Thornton Wilder, “The Matchmaker”, later made into a musical called, “Hello, Dolly!”, has a saying. In the last scene, Dolly relates advice from her dead husband, Horace. He always told her that, “Money is like manure; it’s not worth a thing unless it’s spread around encouraging young things to grow.”
So the more productive choice is to be willing to spend money to make money. Those who have succeeded financially in life were often willing to risk “going out on a limb” financially. It is the only way they could eventually pick the best fruit from the tree of their labors. It can appear briefly, that the narrow limb won’t support the weight of the endeavor. But that is part of the latest challenge, to trust, have faith and hope that any enterprise will be supported if it is for the greatest good. Time, though, one of the primary limits of the Earth Plane, certainly comes into play as part of that test. There is only so much time before a bill comes due, or one needs to pay first the investment in one’s future, etc..
Since money is so ingrained within the business world, that system of energy exchange is more easily calculated. However, within the art community, one can spend many days, months or even years creating something new for all to see. Often the energy exchange of money is quite inadequate to the transcendent task of the creation of an art form. In business, one can give an employee a set hourly rate and all is determined very precisely how much monetary reward is received for services rendered to the business.
With an art form, it is first impossible to give the creative piece an exact value. So the demand of appreciation by the human community needs to be considered, not just the hours or physical toil involved. This again can be the test on the soul level of an artist to not concern oneself with that imprecise monetary reward, but rather to choose to go out on a limb to achieve something truly new, never before seen. The recompense of doing that is in itself a great reward.
One example by spirit given, regarding how money is maneuvered from above, is when a person wins a lottery. Let’s pick as an example, $300. If the individual is meant on a soul level to burn off negative karma and have a limit of money presented to them, they might find themselves with a flat tire shortly thereafter winning the lottery ticket. And by coincidence, the cost of repair might possibly approach exactly what had been the winning ticket.
One needs to not resist when financial difficulties are presented. They are a life lesson. The restriction, caused by money, can often push a person into their emotional denial for its release. Money is frequently used by those governing mankind from the Spirit Plane, to force a person to release their stored emotions. For emotions held in denial weaken the consciousness. Therefore it is an important task the soul wishes to accomplish while dealing with the limitation of money on the Earth Plane.
One system of government that is used most powerfully to purge mankind is taxation. A department such as the IRS in the United States has this effect on many. Notice that when one says those three letters, it sounds like the word, “ire” being pluralized or increased. Often great releases of ire, anger, or rage rise up and are vented out upon even the mention of the IRS to people. No institution helps “Eve” spit out her swallowed red fruit of the mind than this governmental institution. The demand and pressure to pay tax has a positive effect of helping clear the Emotional Body of denial that might otherwise have remained blocked. A tax company’s name too can reveal much underlying purpose, for instance, H & R Bloch (“her block” – the feminine aspect in denial).
Fear vibrates at a low frequency and fear of self-expression can be at the root cause of most of humanity’s ills, both physically and mentally. If one is in great denial of one’s feelings or emotions, physical disease will manifest. So one could say that money in its limited form is a godsend, because it is used to promote self expression. If a big bill is due in a few days, and there’s little or no money to pay it, most people will scream for a moment or vent what normally they would keep holding in denial. So this monetary limit can be a hard pill to swallow, but it helps heal the self.
So to sum up, there can be seemingly endless reasons why money may be a stumbling block along a life path. But one can be assured that if there is no negative karma to burn off on the soul level, energy in the form of money invested in one’s enterprise, or future goals, will eventually be rewarded. The Universe loves a challenge and is utterly and completely supportive of those who challenge themselves in life. One is not ever left hanging, holding onto a weak limb that one has climbed out upon to get to the ripest fruit, without the guidance and support from the Higher Realms.
And too, sometimes what one thinks is their proper path in life is not. Spirit will often use money to guide a person to where they need to go. A perfect example is Milton Hershey, the founder of the chocolate empire. Earlier in life, into his 40’s, Hershey was known for selling caramels. In time, that business went bankrupt. Why? He seemed to be such a successful businessman. It was because he was meant eventually to become a chocolatier, like Willy Wonka, not a caramel salesman. So the interim bankruptcy was a necessary step towards him becoming who he was really meant to be. It was not a failure but more part of the winding path towards abundance.
Therefore, if one “fails” in life with a business endeavor, it can be for a greater purpose and is part of the life process. Or, it can be to just burn off a portion of negative karma built up over time on the soul level. Whatever the reason, it is true that Spirit knows what it is doing when it sets the guidelines and walls of the monetary matrix of one’s life path.
So resist not whatever financial situation you are experiencing. Or vent emotionally to reduce the resistance. “There seems to be no plan because it is all plan.” As with everything that exists in the Universe, all is precise and simply needs to be for the greatest learning of all souls contained within the One Body. Money happens to be one of the main limiting forces which allows Spirit to challenge its consciousness in the oh-so-challenging Earth Plane. And if there weren’t set such difficult energy limits of the symbolic form of money, as the saying goes, “no pain…no gain.”
