I have read a book by Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer called "Creating Money" which I think everyone should read. Right now we all need something in our life that brings about some positivity and happiness givin the state our world is in. Every where you turn it seems negative energy is being thrown in your face. So I suggest that everyone stop, take a breather and go to this website and download one of these free meditations:

Money as they say, is the root of all evil, but without it we die, but money is one thing that can be remade, but why do we need money, can we not just trade instead ? If one has something in surplus, then trade it for something you need. Trade work hours for something you need, life can exist without the exchanging of worthless bits of paper, which amount to promisory notes, nothing more and as we know, promises can and will be broken. Trade cannot be broken.

First money is not the root of all evil. It's only evil if you chose to use your money for evil purposes. Money has no use or purpose if it isn't flowing through the system. Hoarding and greed are evil.

Money is just paper, not good, not evil, just paper, that we assign faith and value too, just like gold. In actuality it's not money that we want anyway. We want whatever money brings us and that can be anything from a new sex toy, brand new house, a small life adventure or a huge life adventure, fulfilling a dream or a passion, helping out your favorite charity.

If you decide to use your money for things that bring your life joy, as well as bring joy into the lives of others around you. Money is good. Money is a blessing.

The reason we use paper these days is it is more convenient then trying to truck a cow across country to trade it for a computer. What happens if what you have isn't what the computer people need or want? You then have to find another person to trade your cow to in hopes that they have something that is valued by the computer people. It is much easier to use paper or electronic money then to truck your goods and services around the world. It is the essence of what the money brings us that we need.

The full name of the book is "Creating Money Keys to Abundance."

Though if you go purchase the book it doesn't just talk about money in fact it hardly does. It discusses how to have abundance in every area of your life. Many people when you say abundance they equate that with money. It is my fault for not adding the Abundance part in my first entry.

The meditations make no mention of money.

I just think it is very important for everyone to listen to these free meditations. I am by no way affiliated with these people. The only thing I receive is the satisfaction of knowing I am improving people’s lives.

This Biblical misquote is usally credited to Jesus. In fact it is Paulian, as is most of the New Testament. The passage itself is in Timothy 1, chapter 6, verse 10:

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many arrows."

Thank you.

I hooked up to the section on "self love"....it was wonderful...truly inspiring.

I discovered...I'm the best I ever had.

(I'll be back in an hour).
