12 Finances 金錢
? ? Your relationship with money is being affected by your past-life experience. For instance, you may have had a lifetime of extreme poverty or even wealth. Many people struggle to save money because their other lifetimes involved communal wealth-where the convent, tribe, or village provided for everyone’s needs.
? ? In those lifetimes, there was no such thing as individual savings accounts or separate possessions. As a result, you may find that your finances are a perplexing and upsetting mystery. Your income may roller —coaster up and down—until you come to terms with the fact that you’re currently incarnated in a Western capitalistic society that operates on individualism.
? ? To heal this situation, understand that money is merely energy and can be used for good purposes or negative ones. Know that money is in itself neutral; it is what you do with it that matters. Act with the intention to help the world through charity and generosity. That is a noble virtue.
? ? 你和金錢的關(guān)系受到了過去社會(huì)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)的影響。比如,有可能貧窮的一生或有錢人。在過去,有很多人因?yàn)橹挥泄蚕淼呢?cái)產(chǎn)而不能在今世存錢。那里修道院、部落、村莊為當(dāng)?shù)鼐用裉峁┝怂行枰奈锲贰?/p>
? ? 在那樣的過去,個(gè)人的儲(chǔ)蓄賬戶或個(gè)人擁有的財(cái)產(chǎn)等并不存在。所以,你也許會(huì)覺得,這世上的錢是復(fù)雜復(fù)雜、復(fù)雜、混亂的。在你接受變成基于個(gè)人主義的西方資本主義社會(huì)之前,你的經(jīng)濟(jì)狀況將會(huì)發(fā)生巨大的變化。
? ? 要想治愈這種狀況,你必須明白,金錢僅僅是一種能源,可以用于好目的和壞目的。金錢本質(zhì)上是中立的,使用在什么用途上很重要。請(qǐng)以同情心和寬容的心,幫助世界這樣的意圖行動(dòng)。那才是有德的人應(yīng)該做的行為。
