Intention Attention

Money is the visible sign of a universal force, and this force in its manifestation on earth works on the vital and physical planes and is indispensable to the fullness of the outer life. In its origin and its true action it belongs to the Divine.
-Sri Aurobindo

This statement certainly gives us the opportunity to pause and reflect. “Money is ... indispensable to the fullness of the outer life.” What exactly does this mean?

For the Love of Money

I always find it fascinating that most spiritual people are so quick to dismiss money and finance as part of the seeker’s life and journey. It seems to me that this reticence to deal with the issue of money is more a reflection of our discomfort with money, than the nature of money itself. I know that we have all been taught that the Bible that money is the root of all evil.

In fact, most religious and spiritual traditions say that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Finally I'm Blogging

After years of thinking about publishing a blog, I am finally here. A friend of mine inspired me to take this leap after consulting with me about her own idea for a blog. I said to her: "there is no risk." Strangely enough, after all the time I spent considering the idea, it boiled down to these simple words. So, I decided to take my own advice.

I have had the opportunity to share with a number of people recently, that I am more convinced than ever that our relationship to money is a window into our soul.
