Is that 'desire to earn' truly pure? ~A discussion on money and consciousness ②~

Yesterday, I wrote about
looking at the 'emotions behind the outflow and inflow of money'.
(If you haven't seen it, click here👇)

This time, I will use my own example.

The flow of money
during my time running an esthetic salon

When I was running a salon,
a relatively large amount of money was flowing in and out.

Store rent and utility costs,
staff labor costs,
large advertising expenses,
franchise royalties and training fees,
supplies and equipment costs, and so on.

It goes without saying, but
when I was running two stores, that amount went out twice over.

Since I was involved in other businesses as well,
including the rent for my office-cum-home,
which I used as a place for people to gather,

the 'outflow' was quite significant.

However,
with the feeling of breathing in and out,

I didn't attach any negative emotions
to paying millions every month.

The natural habit of paying out

Furthermore, for over 10 years,

learning and training fees to become an entrepreneur,
and as active self-investment,

even back when I was a company employee,
it was common for me to spend 200,000 to 300,000 yen a month beyond my living expenses.

If it was for self-improvement,
I didn't hesitate to pay.

Looking back now,

from the perspective of who I am today, living a life
that is the exact opposite of my values at the time,

I wonder if I was too naive or immature,
as there was a lot of reckless and blind self-investment,

and I have many regrets about various things.

Even so,
I don't think that experience
was all a waste.

Thanks to that, even now,
for things I feel are necessary,

as long as it is within a physically reasonable range,
I don't have much resistance to spending money.

I rarely waste money now,
and my desire for material things has decreased significantly,

but my decision-making and actions regarding spending money on time with important people
or signing up for learning and experiences that resonate with me
are quite fast.

The blind spot of the 'inflow' block

However,
that was not my blind spot.

My money block was
not at the 'exit',

**'entrance'**but at the.

It was

an obsession with earning.

You might feel,
'Is there really such a block in the word "earning"?'

But back then, I was
wrapped in various negative energies.

・An obsession that I must recover what I put out
・Vanity of wanting to be a successful entrepreneur who stands out
・An inferiority complex thinking that "I have no value without achievements"
・Comparison, not wanting to lose to those around me
・Feelings of worthlessness and fear when results don't appear
・A desire for approval, wanting to be recognized
・A sense of superiority trying to show value through possessions and housing

There were endless negative emotions
lurking behind it all.🙈

I tried to deceive myself with actions and thoughts
so as not to see that darkness.

Changes that occurred when I let go

But, when I let go of all of these.

I was surprised that my energy
felt lighter, as if a spell had been broken...😳

I wondered, is it okay to feel this relaxed and light?🤣

I realized for the first time
how heavy the energy of the obsession with "earning" was.

And at the same time,

I understood that this was precisely why
disharmony was occurring.

A pattern many people fall into

This is

Wanting to produce results
Wanting to earn
Wanting to succeed

I feel that the more you think that way,
the easier it is to fall into
a pattern of suffering.

The tricky part, however, is that
earning money purely is a wonderful thing in itself,

which is exactly why
it is a very difficult form of suffering to notice.

Without realizing it,
you can slowly find yourself unable to escape.

Consciousness creates reality.

Seeds sown from

this kind of
impureconsciousness stagnant with negative energy
will,

no matter how small the spark,
alwaysbear discordant fruit (reality)🔥

That is why what matters is

in what state of consciousness are you handling money?

I believe this is the key.

I really want to shout this from the rooftops 🥺

It is the 'consciousness,' not the action.

Earning money,
borrowing it,
spending it—

these are just actions in themselves,
and there is nothing wrong with them.

But, before and after that,

is your consciousness—your emotional energy—
clouded?

This

is the fork in the roadthat determines whether or not you create
a 'harmonious life' 🕊️

Finally

Please,

take a look at the
'motivation' behind the work or activities you are doing now,

and your current feelings and reflect on them.

Surely, whether your consciousness is

in a pure and beautiful state,
or
if there is some suffering mixed in somewhere,

it should naturally become clear.

Money and consciousness are truly profound 🥹
