#6 Foundations: The Myth of Not Enough Money

Your Creative Sparks:

• Money doesn’t actually EXIST. We have made it up and assigned VALUE to it.
• Money is an exchange of ENERGY, a currency of love or of lack.
• We can SHIFT our mindset around money and begin living in ABUNDANCE.

The Foundation episodes travel deep, deep down to bust the 3 biggest myths of the material world. Recorded on her Heroes Pilgrimage to Tulum, Lobsterbird teaches us to break apart these core concepts and the hold they have on our lives. Reality is just a projection of our thoughts and beliefs. In an abundance mindset, money is the currency of love and a conduit of commitment. In a scarcity mindset, money becomes a means of usurping power and wielding control to the detriment of others and our planet. Agents for good are needed to re-dream and re-create the world we share.

Your Travelogue

• Are you ready for a major shift? Money is just paper. This piece of paper is only more valuable than another because we say it is. Money only feels real because it drives our lives. [5:05]
• Let’s break it down with superheroes. Lex Luther spends his money to create technology and donate to philanthropic causes, but because these actions are fueled by his hatred and greed, the results are destructive. [10:44]
• Our mythology around money has been passed down to us for generations, like the sad story of the starving artist. But you do not have to be poor to make good work. In fact, the world needs you to step up and start creating a movement with your message. It has always been the artists, the creatives, the writers, and the innovators who have seen a vision and imagined what is possible before it came to exist. [17:30]
• Your thoughts create your reality in regards to making money. Thoughts geared toward lack vs thoughts geared toward abundance = very different choices. When we believe there is not enough, it leads us to create systems and strategies that only look out for ourselves, causing us to become stingy, triggering a wanting of more and more, perpetuating the great divide, and raging us into war. [30:00]
• When you start a healing journey, your psyche will resist change. [39:00]
• When we are doing the deep work on our own thoughts, ideas and beliefs around money, we can open new possibilities in the minds of others, even the most brutally oppressed. Working on ourselves changes the entire paradigm. [44:22]
