Will I Survive This Economy?

Dear Karleon -

I am so worried about what is going on in our economy. I keep hearing things like "it's going to get worse before it gets better" and "this is going to go on for several years." I can see that there are many who have lost their jobs and there are those who are losing their homes. I am worried that this can happen to me, and I don't know how I am going to make it through these next few years. Can you help?


Beloved One -

Your economy is a subject of concern for many at this point in time. We see this concern (fear) affecting not only those within your society, but in many other societies, as well. We are going to tell you something that you may find difficult to hear and to believe, but we are going to tell you anyway, because if you hear it from us and then you hear it from another, and then you hear it again, you will begin to understand and then believe it for yourself. And when you can understand this, then you will truly be able to change it.

Holy One: there is no cause for concern. We state this fairly bluntly and we realize that in the stating of it in this manner, there may be an instant and immediate reaction to our statement. We can hear your statement in response: "Well, easy for you to say, Karleon, you aren't living here now and worried about how you will be affected by all of these changes."

And again we say there is no cause for concern. You see, Dear One, it is concern itself that is creating this situation to be greater and greater. For the more you connect to the energy bubble that is called "the economic situation," the more you find yourself at the effect of your concern. Please hear that again: the more you connect to the energy bubble that is called "the economic situation," the more you find yourself at the effect of your concern.

This means that what you think about is what you see showing up in your life, and what you then experience. It is truly that simple.

Your greatest protection, your greatest strength, your greatest ally during this situation is your very lack of concern. For this is where your hope lies. It lies in, as the great master teacher Jesus said, "turning the other cheek." Look away from what you do not want and look toward what you do want. Think not about what you do not want and think about what you DO want.

There is a verse in one of your sacred books, the Bible, that states "Keep your mind stayed on me." This means to keep your thoughts, your visions, your very essence focused upon the Truth of all that is. It means to keep your hopes, your dreams, your desires focused upon the Love of all that is. It means to keep your energies, your time, your very conversations focused upon the Abundance of all that is.

And when you do this, you have no cause for concern. For it is in the focusing of your thoughts, your energies and your visions that creates your life itself. And where you focus your thoughts and your energies is how you then create.

Holy One, you have the power within you to change all of your experiences. All. All. This is where your power lies, right here, right now, in what you are thinking about, what you are focusing upon, and what you are talking about with others. If you spend time thinking about how difficult things are, then you are going to see more difficulties coming into your experience. If you spend time thinking about how wonderful things are, then you are going to see more wonderfulness coming into your experience.

We offer this to you knowing that you are beginning to understand your own power, your own connection to the Source of All That Is: God itself. The One. And the deeper and stronger your connection, the more abundant, loving and joyous your life experiences are. The choice is yours, right now, in this moment in time.

And so it is.
