Three powerful animal encounters recently. The most vivid was a turkey vulture almost driving into my windshield as I left the house. It literally was coming straight at me and only veered a few feet away from the windshield. Just looked it up gene key 30 to the shadow of failure. Opened the page and read “our collective fear of survival is almost entire projected onto the amount of money we have… The whole money game is an illusion and a sham.… “As our ancient ancestors discovered, failure really means one thing – to be isolated. The moment you cut yourself off from your tribal support network, you lose touch with the living chain that supports and nourishes you.… How strongly conditioned we are to be stingy and competitive, not only financially but also in our thinking… When you surrender to the greater pattern and raise your consciousness above the fear threshold, money always arrives just when it is needed. Money actually provides a wonderful lesson and letting go of fear, and in many respects it has become one of the new spiritual teachers on the planet.… Every time you feel yourself worrying about money, smile, take a breath, thank your ancestors, and relax. When you truly need it, it always comes.”
As we plan our second retreat, my partner and I are exploring right livelihood. Exploring the possibility of only charging base cost and then asking for donations based on the Dona system asking for donations based on both received value and ability. Our first retreat we only asked basically for cost so that I had the freedom to explore and experiment. Just the discussion is already triggering some hesitation and fear my needs will not be met if I don’t charge a fair price for my time and energy.
Maybe a decade ago I had to explore value and knowing the work I do is of great value. At this point I know that in an embodied way. Now to know and embodied that all my needs are met and I can trust. Definitely not there yet. Play in progress.
For some reason this image inspires me.
