Many people think they can buy redemption. They focus on acquiring money while ignoring those they may be stealing from, injuring or maligning. Even the honest or innocent person intent on acquiring money is suffused with the fantasy that once they have it, they will use it ( the operative word “will”) to obviate crimes against others. This is a highly publicized misconception. They won’t.
Money is a neutral exchange device, meant as a holder of energy. However, because of lazy speculators, it has lost its luster and become a cliche in the minds of the public — a needed evil. The truth is that money given because of love is suffused with love; money given out of bitterness is laden with bitterness. How can any corporation or employer claim to give money to their employees gratefully, yet a year later, during hard times, fire them. The bottom line is that people give money that is subliminally saturated with rancor and bitterness, greed and disrespect. Profit is not a good excuse for bad behavior. Contrarily, instead of gaining redemption, money puts one in karmic debt to the fine balance of the universe. But when the pendulum swings, watch out!
