Freedom Without Money

A revelation about the symbiotic relationship with the energy of money.

I've had an epiphany recently. I don't desire money... it's the freedom money provides that I desire - as do most of us. I recently got a perspective change about my life and how I view freedom.

For many years now, I have been doing my inner healing and striving for financial freedom because I felt that meant true freedom. Yet, nothing seems to take hold for long.

I haven't been happy with my living situation because I don't have my own home and live with family. I have been discouraged because my goal is to be free in every aspect of my life, and up until now, living with others doesn't check that box of requirements.

However, a recent situation occurred in my life that helped me see a different perspective.

I owed someone a little bit of money because we had split the cost for a gift in which they paid the full amount and I agreed to give them my half, which I was prepared to do.

In the meantime, my sister needed help cleaning her garage out, so I helped her. While cleaning, I found an item that was no longer being used and she told me that if I sold it I could keep the money. So, I did.

Unwittingly, I sold it for the exact amount of money I owed the person who I split the cost of the gift with and I immediately gave the money to them.

Then it struck me! I had been able to pay for something through a transaction that required none of my own money…only my time and effort.

My energy of helping my sister clean her garage had allowed me to receive another form of energy (money) to pay for what I needed, and everyone in this situation benefited. The person who bought the item got something they needed, I got what I needed- money, the person I owed got their return, and my sister got what she needed-my help with the garage.

A symbiotic relationship.

This is how the world is supposed to work! We don't need to be enslaved in a system to provide for our needs and desires. Equal giving and receiving with ease is the natural order of things.

Upon further contemplation, I realized that I have been unhappy in a living situation thinking I needed money to be happy and free. But, I already am free!

I don't need money to be free, just the energy of it.

I am provided for without me needing money. By me giving my energy via helping take care of the house, I receive my sister's energy through room and board.

This is an example of how money is meant to flow and be equally distributed in the world. It's a free flowing energy meant to benefit all, not to be hoarded.

Obviously, it's not going to be an overnight process to get to the complete money-free stage because of the way systems have taken advantage of both money and us.

Gradually, we can turn the tide by helping each other and redistribute the money as energy.

We are already free, we just need to see it!
