LOVE CHANGES CELLS TO MAXIMISE ENERGY BY CURBING INFLATIONARY BEHAVIOUR

Greetings!

As we hear more and more about cost of living pressures, the impact of rising interest rates on mortgages and businesses and on everyday costs of food , I thought it worthwhile to reflect upon some basic spiritual teachings related to our financial health and well being which impacts on all aspects of our mental and physical health.

I am dividing my reflections on 10 such teachings to be posted over this week and the next to give you an opportunity to also reflect on 1 2 or 3 paragraphs at any one time over the next 2 weeks or so and perhaps try out the ideas in practice before joining the Zoom discussion on Tuesday 29 August after enjoying a wonderful bank holiday weekend

DAILY BREAD/MANNA FROM HEAVEN

1 we pray Give us each day our daily bread - do not buy or store more than is needed day by day - the manna from heaven goes off if not used. Why buy 2 for the price of one if you don't need it . you will soon need a bigger fridge/ freezer /cupboard/bathroom/ house/ rented space to store all the unused/unworn goods - where rust and moth decay - instead lay up your treasures in heaven - the imagination of your hearts- and pray "right" . Having/taking more than we need is greed - one of the deadly sins - those leading to depression. this always brings to mind the horrific scenes of the massacre of the bison for their hides and then left to rot by the Whitemen in Dances with Wolves

GRATITUDE FOR ABUNDANCE AND FAITH

2. Be aware the storehouses of the Lord are always full and give thanks and praise for every iota you already have so that your wealth will multiply - like the story of the widow and her drop of oil when guided by Elijah. Having faith as small as a tiny mustard seed is all that is needed to get on the path of materialising your hearts desires/manifesting your dreams.

LIVING IN THE NOW- LEARNING FROM NATURE

3.Remember to consider the Lilies of the field who toil not nor spin but Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as one of these - and the birds of the air that take no thought of the morrow. Living in the present , in the "Now" moment by moment and finding your tiny drop of oil to be grateful for leads to an upward spiral of blessings - to him who hath shall more be given

I WANT NEVER GETS

4. conversely to him who hath not - who lacks things ("wants" in old English )- it shall be taken away- "I want never gets" - so "Wannabes" beware and start counting your blessings instead.

USE YOUR TALENTS AND YOUR MONEY TO PRODUCE GOODS AND SERVICES

5. as far as actual money is concerned – if you are blessed by having/earning in excess of your own daily needs or have the talent/education - remember it is to be used to be productive - "burying" it in the earth for safety /in the bank for an interest rate that is far outstripped by rise in inflation/cost of goods year by year is an automatic reduction in wealth and savings in real terms . Historically money lenders were hated and Islam forbids interest bearing loans etc. because Growth in any economy relies on capital growth from investment in companies producing goods or services which society needs as well as art and culture to feed the soul.

Far better invest it in the development of your own or others’ projects/ companies/ education that benefit the planet and all who live on it- to bring forth good fruit for the harvest . Use it to teach a man how to fish – a lifelong skill- instead of handing out the fish which lasts a day and needs replacing tomorrow and becomes a constant drain on resources.

Wishing you a magical, miraculous life of love and learning.
