The diference between making money and creating money

There is a vast difference in metaphysical approach
between the idea of creating money and the idea of
making money.
What we notice in our physical friends is that when
you are going about the task of making money, you are
focused on making something happen not for the joy of
it—not for what it is that you are really wanting—but
because in some way or another you are fulfilling a need
or a desire that you yourself have either decided you
have, or have agreed with others that you have.
So that is why many of you will come to us and say,
“What is really my life's purpose? This can't be
everything that I'm supposed to be about.”
And for many of you it's because you're quite accustomed
to making money.
And we don't mean—when we say that you're making
money—that you're making money by working in a
job, necessarily, where you are employed by someone
else.
What we mean is that no matter what you're doing
—whether you're working for yourself or working for
someone else—the task before you is to make money,
and you have associated making money with the idea of
producing something.
Now, this is very obvious if you just look around
and see.
In fact, it might make a lot of sense; and you might
be thinking, “Well, so what's new here?”
The reason why we're bringing out this distinction
is because—when you are making money and you are
focused on completing the task and getting it done, and
you are focused on looking at the results and doing
what needs to be done now in order to have things work
out later and in the most basic way—the way this works
is that you are showing up to work and punching the
time clock so that in two weeks you will receive your
paycheck.
In other words, and in its most basic sense, when
you are making money you are delaying the experience
of what you are wanting.
Now, if you are in the process of making money,
and if you are working at a job and you are making
money or you are employing yourself and you are making
money, your hackles might have been raised by
now, and we would certainly understand why.
Because we're not telling you, “Don't punch that
time clock, don't go to work, don't work on your projects,
don't produce your widgets or deliver your services.”

We're not saying that whatsoever.
What we're suggesting is, no matter where you are
—no matter what you are doing, no matter what job you
find yourself in, no matter what situation you find yourself
in, whether you have a job or don’t have a job,
whether you're working for yourself or whether you
consider yourself to be unemployed—you can change
the way that you are approaching the dynamic of
money, and start creating money instead of making
money.
So, when you are creating money what you are doing
is you are saying, “Right here, right now is where I
will have the thing that I'm wanting.”
And if you understand that the thing that you were
wanting begins first with the vibration and then begins
to manifest itself into physical form—whether it's in the
next few seconds or minutes or hours or days or weeks
or months or years, depending upon the resistance that
you have to what it is that you are wanting—but if you
understand that the point of creating money is so that
you are in alignment with yourself, this is the single
most important alignment that we would recommend
that you seek.
You can certainly come into alignment with lots of
different ideas—and, when we say alignment, what we
mean is that you can bring yourself to a place vibrationally
where you see the perfection of this or you see the
rightness of it, or you find yourself feeling as though
you are in the right place at the right time with the
right thing, and you can do this at any time, at any
place, with anyone, anywhere.
But what we're suggesting is that, first and foremost,
you're going to want to find alignment with your
Self—meaning your Inner Being, your Higher Self, the
Source that dwells within you—because you are an extension
of that Source Energy that dwells within you,
and nothing is more important than your relationship
with that Source.
In fact, everything else flows from it.
So, when you line up with the topic of money by
realizing that you can create money—which means that
you are removing the topic of money from the limitations
of situation and circumstance—then you're liberating
yourself to have as much money as you're wanting
to have at any time that you can imagine.
What you will find, first and foremost, is that
you're primarily aligning yourself with You.
When you bring money into that vortex relationship
that you have with your Inner Being—your Higher
Self—everything about your relationship with money
will begin to change.
But this is a conscious decision that you must make
if you are wanting to make it.
This is not something for most of you, because of
the ways in which you have been taught by your culture.
This is not something that will just naturally arise
without a little bit of effort—although not a whole great
deal.

We're not just suggesting long periods of meditation
or visualization or anything like that—although
you might find those very, very helpful.
But what we are suggesting is that today—right
now, as you go through the day—you can begin to imagine
and ask yourself the question: “Am I making
money here or am I creating money?”
Now, let us be clear.
There's nothing wrong with making money.
You're not doing anything wrong if you're approaching
it in this way.
But if you are interested in learning how to master
the art of creating money, and if you are interested in
discovering your own innate ability to spin straw into
gold—for you each have this ability—then you're probably
going to want to turn your attention away from the
thing that you've been doing in order to make money,
and turn your attention towards all of the ways in
which you can create money—and there are many,
many ways in which you can do this.
In fact, there are an infinite number of ways in
which whatever it is that you're wanting—money included—can
come to you easily and effortlessly.
But you do have to decide that this is possible.
And so, in mastering the art of creating money,
that is what you will be doing:
You will be letting go of the idea that money is tied
to situation, circumstance, and even to people; and you
will be turning your attention towards more open and
broader ways of looking at and relating to money; and
you will be bringing money into your vortex with your
Inner Being—and we think that's a very, very delicious
thing indeed.
So, as you continue this journey with us, you're going
to discover how you are indeed already a master
manifestor, and you're going to discover how you are
indeed already creating wondrously delicious things for
yourself in your experience of this physical world that
you inhabit.
And we invite you to decide that you can live from
the power of the present moment, leaning forward into
the delicious future that you are creating.
We invite you to begin to imagine all of the things
that you are wanting that will become easier and easier
to have once you understand how you are already a
master of manifestation and a powerful creator and that
you can create money whenever it is that you are wanting.
So, as you go through this day today, we do invite
you to look at the ways in which you are currently making
money.
There's nothing wrong with what you are doing,
but it might be helpful to become aware of these things,
to make some notes either mentally or on a piece of paper,
and to begin to notice, “Is this something that feels
good?”
And just ask that question. “Does it feel good to be
making money in the way that I am?”
Again, there's nothing right or wrong—just an inquiry.
