<\/div>\n

Many people are looking for ways to improve their finances.\nIt\u2019s a hot topic and there are a lot of great concepts out there. I\u2019d like to\nshare a soul-oriented perspective on your financial condition and how to\nimprove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My spiritual teacher, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, teaches\nthat the soul is the boss in life and that everything happens at the soul level\nfirst. Soul is information. You could imagine it as a blueprint for everyone\nand everything. The information can be both positive and negative. The\ninformation in the soul is received by the heart, processed by the mind and\nmanifested through the body \u2013 the energy and matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we encounter challenges, there may be negative\ninformation in the soul being manifested. This may be from many lifetimes and may\nalso include information from our ancestors. Thus, negative information in the\nsoul could be blocking us from what we want to achieve. But we can transform\nthis information through techniques and lifestyle choices, such as forgiveness\npractice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forgiveness practice can transform negative information to\npositive information in the soul. For any aspect of life, such as finances, we\ncan connect, heart to heart, soul to soul, with those associated with that\nnegative information and humbly ask for and offer forgiveness. By sincerely acting\non our negative information and bringing in love and light, we can transform\nthe current blueprint. It may take time, but regular practice coupled with action\nto improve our finances can lead to significant shifts and transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Many people see\nbeautiful shifts in a short time period when they combine the spiritual and\nphysical actions together. If you keep practicing, you could experience\ngenuine, lasting change. You can learn more about how to implement forgiveness\npractice and find empowering tools in the book: Greatest Forgiveness: Bring\nJoy and Peace to Your Life with the Power of Unconditional Forgiveness<\/em>, by\nDr. & Master Zhi Gang Sha, Master Cynthia Deveraux and David Lusch. Included\nis wisdom on a special area in the body where financial transformation can\noccur and a practice for Transforming Finances and Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtue and the Purpose of Flourishing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two other key concepts are helpful to understand when\nseeking to transform our finances. One has to do with the nature of virtue<\/em>,\nand the other regards the purpose<\/em> of financial flourishing. Integrating\nthe \u201ctake aways\u201d of these two concepts with forgiveness practice can help\nanyone progress toward greater financial flourishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virtue, known as \u201cde\u201d in ancient Chinese philosophies, can\nbe described as positive information in the soul that is created from our\npositive thoughts, speech and actions and associated with qualities such as\nlove, forgiveness, compassion, service and more. The condition of your finances\nis related to the status of your spiritual \u201cvirtue bank\u201d \u2013 or the amount of accumulated\npositive information<\/em> in your soul. In other words, spiritual virtue can translate\ninto flourishing in your physical life. You can accumulate virtue by serving\nwell and helping others to be happier and healthier. Those with flourishing\nfinances have virtue flowing from their spiritual bank to the physical world in\nthe form of good finances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that there is not a one-to-one correspondence with\ncurrent life inputs and our virtue bank or our financial condition. Both positive\nand negative information in the soul are accumulated over our entire soul journey\nand include ancestral information. Thus, people who offer a large amount of good\nservice may also face financial hardship, and visa versa. Just remember that 1)\nyou can implement forgiveness practice and other wisdom to improve your\nconditions and 2) you can prevent the deterioration of your virtue bank by\nunderstanding the purpose (and responsibilities) of financial flourishing and\nalso practicing forgiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what is the purpose of financial flourishing? Simply put,\nit is to enable one to serve or help others better. When our finances flourish,\nwe need to be mindful and serve well, so as not to drain our virtue bank. By\nserving and helping others to improve their lives, you will continue to put\npositive information back into your soul and virtue bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it\u2019s beneficial to get our priorities straight.\nSome pertinent questions to ask yourself are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Why do I want to make (more)\nmoney? (What goals will you accomplish?)<\/li>
  2. What will I do with the\nmoney? (Will you improve you and your loved one\u2019s lives, improve your service and\nmake a better contribution to others?) <\/li>
  3. How will I make the money?\n(Will you offer good service?)<\/li>
  4. How will I conduct my business?\n(Will you do so with integrity?)<\/li>
  5. How will I handle my finances?\n(Will you manage your finances well?)<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These questions can help you clarify and prepare for financial\nflourishing. Of course, you can relax and enjoy the benefits of financial\nflourishing , but it is important to also understand the purpose for wealth and\nflourishing from a spiritual perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In closing, it is my hope that in considering the key and\nvital components for financial flourishing presented in this article, that you may\nbe able to clarify your priorities, offer your best service, and practice unconditional\nforgiveness to improve your financial conditions and flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
