For all that I go on about how money is just energy, has no meaning other than what we attach to it, and how there is no shortage of it, I still find myself feeling a lot of anger towards the guys on Wall Street who took an average of $12 million each in bonuses.

The fact that they took the money in spite of having brought this country to its knees and created a crisis from which it is still not certain that we will ever recover from accounts for some of my anger. But I notice I feel it more viscerally when I just think about any individual earning that amount of money and feeling entitled to it. It just seems obscene to me somehow and it makes my blood boil, which just goes to show that I am still stuck in the old paradigm where money is concerned. I am still thinking that if they get all that money, it must mean that I have proportionately less. This, of course, is not true.
So long as they spend the money or otherwise create value with it, it really doesn't matter whether one person spends $50 million, say, or 1,000 people spend it. The money is still moving about the system and creating value and there is no reason why some of the money they spend shouldn't find its way to you through the Law of Attraction.
I once heard Deepak Chopra say that the chances are very high that each one of us has at some point in our lives breathed in at least one molecule of air that Jesus breathed in and out 2,000 years ago. In the same way, that air keeps forever circulating around the globe giving life to those who breathe it in - so money does the same. The Wall Street 'Wallys' may have a lot of it for a while, but it will circulate eventually and find its way to you. The trick is to stop feeling angry towards them - the equivalent of holding your breath and not allowing the air in - and becoming a magnet for the amount of money you need using the technology of Radical Manifestation.
To the degree that my anger was liable to block that flow, and before I could write this piece, I had to do a Radical Manifestation worksheet to keep the channels open and a Radical Forgiveness worksheet on the 'Boyz of Wally Street' to clear my own energy field. I had to forgive them totally by opening up to the possibility that what they did was divinely guided and purposeful in a way that is not yet fully revealed but may well have something to do with the imminent shift in consciousness that seems set to occur around 2012.
Breakdown always precedes breakthrough so why not open up to the possibility that the 'Wallys' are actually angels whose spiritual mission was to set things in motion? It seems rather plausible if you consider how massively successful they have been in collapsing the current financial structure worldwide.

The Power of Oneness
Since I often refer in conversation about how Radical Forgiveness has the power to create change in people, it seems appropriate for me to say something about the nature of that power and the source from which it emanates. You would probably expect me to say that God is the source, but I am not so certain that I would.
A Bridge to Somewhere
Clearly, the days of profligate spending are over. But that doesn't mean we won't spend at all in the next few months and years. It's just that we will spend more wisely now. Just like our government is investing in infrastructure as a way to move our economy forward, we should be planning to invest in our own spiritual infrastructure. Some of our own bridges and highways to heaven may have become a little rusty in the last few years and perhaps we have wasted time, money and energy in building bridges to nowhere.
Your Willingness to Receive is the Gift
At this time of year, the focus is 100% on giving. Yes, it’s a wonderful feeling to give from your heart, but how about receiving? Can you do that with an open heart as well?
