I am sitting deeply with the knowing that in our purest state we are perpetually creating. There is no need to consume in order to create. You do not need to sacrifice in order to manifest. You are living in an electromagnetic instrument that can generate energy through the creative process. This sacrificial martyrdom concept comes from the time our global cultures moved away from esoteric Gnosticism towards Christianity. No longer were you expressions of God here to self-realise and self-actualise, suddenly you were God-fearing and in need of sacrifice and repentance. This concept also serves the capitalism model at its core as it would quite literally collapse if we weren’t all constantly consuming. You are a divine creator, not a consumption machine in a system you don’t believe in. There is creative desire in everyone of us in some form or another and it yearns to ask AM I? With each act of creation consciousness speaks through you — I AM. You serve love best by creating in your pure unique expression as a sovereign being on earth.
The money spectrum. it’s easy for many to end up at “freedom-as-leisure.” they work doing jobs that mean nothing to them, and maybe worse, are miserable, but are stable, for maybe 80% of their time, in order to be able to afford freedom in leisure - on vacation, on a boat, in a fast car, etc., for 20% of their time. And the more you spend on leisure, the more reliant you become on the stability of having that job. This can happen at any level of wealth - from lower middle class to being a billionaire.
Then, some people look at their lives and realize what a terrible bargain that is. They cut their living costs, and find a job that is likely more unstable, probably pays less, but that they enjoy doing.
They’ve discovered “freedom-in-work.” Now, you’re having a good time 80% of your time, and worrying about money 20% of your time, making sure you’re making enough to stay afloat.
If you become really good at that job you enjoy, your work becomes more valuable. If you’re able to capitalize on this and make more money, you can achieve “freedom-in-attention.” Now you don’t have to think about money at all, and can focus on things you love.
