Today we face a choice between temporarily shoring up the old world…or stepping into the new. Money is so fundamental, so defining of our civilization, that it would be naïve to hope for any authentic civilizational shift that did not involve a fundamental shift in money, as well.

Charles Eisenstein, “Sacred Economics”

A dear friend of mine has been talking about this book and the transformational ideas that it promotes. I admit that anything with the word ‘economics’ in it is not very appealing to me. Yet I felt drawn to read this book when my husband bought a copy. It has had a profound effect on my thinking.

We can see that our current system of money and economics is not working. Scarcity, inequity, poverty, exploitation and the deadening effect of people working in jobs that stifle their spirits are just some of the consequences.

‘Sacred Economics’ shares a vision of a new economy, built on sharing, protection of the earth and respect for people. If this sounds like a fairy tale, the author assures us it is not. Our current monetary and economic system was built at a level of consciousness that is being transformed. Surely, our awakening is calling for our world to become new, along with us. This book gives practical, sensible ways that we can live in a new monetary system and begin now to create it now. Many changes are already underway and more are coming. We have a choice to either resist the changes or to embrace them and assist in the dawning of a new way of living.

Blessings, Mary

Dear ones, beloved of my heart,

Look around you. Look not just with your eyes, but with your heart, as well. Surely, the need for change is abundantly evident. You see the old ways crumbling, yet many are unsure about what the New will be.

No one and no thing is separate from anyone or anything else. All is joined in a Oneness that cannot be divided or apart from the Whole. Change is needed individually and collectively.

The first step is to become aware, recognizing the need for change. I smile as I see this happening upon the earth. People are weary of the burden of living in a system that elevates some and impoverishes others. Do you feel discouraged, unsure about how to make the changes that will create abundance for all?

Look to nature for the templates and examples. Nature creates abundance with ease. Nature is generous and gives gifts each moment. Are you breathing? The air is a gift, given without price. Do you eat food? It is from the earth, given as a gift of the plants and animals. Water is given in the same way. So are the materials for your homes and buildings and all else

All of life is a gift from the sun, the stars, the whole universe. You are a precious part of it, my darlings. Within you is the knowledge and wisdom to make all things new. As you embrace your divinity, you will choose only things that are life-giving and benefit yourself and the Whole. Listen to your inner voice. Ask for what you need. It will be given with joy and gladness.

Come close to my heart. Quiet the noisy voices and sounds of your world. In this silence, wisdom dwells. It will guide you, if you allow it to. You have partners in the Unseen realm who are waiting in eager anticipation to co-create heaven on earth with you. Take our hands and we can do it together with happy hearts and exuberant dancing.

I love you, dear ones. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend
