At this point in time, I am not certain where the money will come from for my rent and utilities. I have recently decided to quit my useless job and trust that my passions will be able to support me.
When I was young, I would often trip into a pitfall of mystic haze. I would get into a state of mind where everything felt like a burden. The constant need for our society to work everyday seemed like one of the main reasons for our constant anger, frustration and unhappiness. Seeing how we continued to oil the gears of this machine, made me shift, from time to time, into an occult madness.
In this wild state of mind, I once remembered a child saying something to his father. “He is a spiritual teacher”, as he pointed to me while I was murmuring about this or that. I stopped in my tracks.
It sounded true, it sounded good. And yet, it was not something I felt I could do, since I believed spiritual teachers are not supposed to have wealth of any sort. How could that be the way I make a joyous living?
Flash to this moment. Because now I would not at all mind taking money for spiritual wisdom. Many would say this is bamboozling people out of their money. Yet, that can be nearly everything we use money for. All of money can be seen as a way to bamboozle people into giving more than what is needed. It isn’t a perfect system. It is just what we have relied upon.
Having never known my role in this society. “Spiritual Teacher” sounded good. And yet, we are all that. We can all learn from each other and all play in the field of wisdom and love. Knowing this for some time, I have explored many different arts and crafts, sciences and spiritual words. The vast array of knowledge has allowed me to see anyone’s perspective from exactly the point of reference their mind is taking in the information.
With all of this understanding, I realized that there definitely can be levels in spiritual wisdom, just as one has to learn algebra before they can move onto calculus.
So for me, one of the greatest steps in spiritual knowledge is this trust fall. Trusting that one has everything they need at all times, without concern that they may lose it. Usually for us, this looks like money. Money that allows us the freedom of food, shelter and travel so that we may live our highest joys. However, this is merely a symbol for those things.
In reality, it is communication, organization and action that allows for food, shelter and travel. Most of which is excess to economizing our work load. With enough insight, trust that these things will come about is akin to the geometry of nature. When we see how a tree grows from nothing, we can understand that even within the chaotic behaviors of humanity, we share those same traits that allow anyone to live within their needs.
So long as we keep the trust that it is possible, we will be able to be where we need to be when we need to be there. Only sometimes having to give up our previous pleasures to experience new ones. Only to revisit those pleasures at a later more pertinent time.
With this in mind, I walk lightly around my current abode! Working only on what I know I love to work on, and trusting that whatever comes my way is exactly the experience I need to further deepen the process of life, which ebbs and flows towards a more harmonious, and joyous future.
More can be said as I write this verse:
The wise sages thinks nothing of money
Until the exact moment it is needed
Putting out their hand
It appears out of smoke
As people begin to wonder
What kind of job is this?
