Psychology and causes of wealth and poverty. What is Poverty? Esoteric causes of poverty. Who is a poor person? Often the spiritual cause of material poverty

5 causes of poverty in humans, we will consider in today's article.

And the reason was a comment to one of the previous articles: “What a pity that because of money you have to suffer, strain and give them most of your time.”

Do you think it is possible to achieve financial well-being with such an attitude?

Again, I recognize the reflection of the postulate: poverty and wealth in the head, not in the wallet. Poverty and wealth are two strategies that you yourself choose in life. These are the two poles between which you move.

Therefore, I propose to consider causes leading to poverty. How do you program yourself, telling stories about poverty and wealth, believe in the existence of the secrets of wealth that someone is hiding from you.

Rich are not born!

There is such an expression “Rich people are not born - they become rich”, mark your reaction to it. Someone will be curious: how? And someone will grumble: again about these moneybags ...

Few people will catch that there is truth in this simple thought - in order for changes to occur, you need to become different, you need to act differently. Choose a different strategy of behavior and actions.

In real life it looks like this:

Some women - she will plunge into the abyss of despair, because I have to work hard, do what I do not want. You will need to change yourself, but “I don’t want to do this, I’m already good and deserve wealth just like that.”
Others will lead on a different path:“Let a man provide me with wealth, because this is his function, for the fact that I am so ...”
And the third will lead to action: "What should I do so that I start doing it now."

It is easy to predict the results of who will become rich faster. I am not asking you to go to wealth. In my opinion, it is alien and incomprehensible to most Russians.
The word itself is reflected, as in a “distorting mirror”, by the idea that the rich are people who do not deny themselves anything. Women have their own picture - endless purchases and acquisitions, shopping with a Swiss bank gold card.

Between the two poles, wealth and poverty, there is a middle path - financial well-being. And in order to come to it, you need to know the psychology of poverty and wealth.

And those who deal with it will move to the level of financial well-being, and those who will not even delve into it will remain where they are now.

If you planning to change your financial program, then I recommend that you go through it and join our School of Financial Well-being. In it, we reveal the topic of how a financial program is created and how to change it. This modest investment will pay off, provided you really want to change.

The format of the article will not allow me to consider all the reasons, at the seminar we discussed the topic for more than 3 hours. However, regardless of the reasons, you are also interested in a strategy to get out of poverty. You will find the answers, of course, in the materials of the seminar. And now, consider

Causes of people's poverty

There are many reasons leading to poverty. Of course, this is the environment in which you lived and live. Your temperament and character, your personality psychology - all this we consider in the seminar. But, now let's focus on the most acute.

The first reason for poverty: Now is not the best time for change.

Women with a poverty mindset are looking for, waiting for better times. We are ready to generously give hours of life waiting for someone to appreciate their “goodness”, when someone appears who will take up the solution of her problems.
There are a lot of people who are waiting for

in some magical way, a free and large flow of money will come into their lives when they have special knowledge,
when a secret is revealed, when they have a money job,
the idea of a special kind of earnings will dawn, in the end, when the time appears.

Yes, yes, I am faced with the fact that even after taking the first steps towards change, for example, by purchasing this or that course, they never go through it to the end or complete it on the first introductory video.
You start to bother, as if you need it, write letters, and from the other end they answer - I don’t have time now, but I will definitely ...

The harsh truth is:

If you want to get rid of the causes of poverty: You will never have a better time. It's either there now or it won't be. Opportunities are not stones, but the wind, in the language of metaphor. They can open for a limited time, and then disappear, slip away, fly away.
This reason is very well learned to use the rich for their own good.
While the poor are looking, waiting, hoping for an even better offer, the rich are seizing the opportunity now.

The second reason for poverty: Unwillingness to think about the financial future.

Try to tell a woman with the psychology of poverty that now is the time to think about where her five-year-old son will study, about a pension that will come sooner or later.

You will hear a thousand arguments about the fact that:

saving money is pointless, because her "mother saved and what happened to them"
you can’t rely on the state, it will “rob, rob”
I want to live now, not in retirement

And no facts will help convince that times have changed. There are other possibilities, not just the state. However, it is the poor who rely on him, not the rich.

Harsh truth:

The rich think about the future all the time. When purchasing this or that thing, you can often hear just other arguments, for example, such: “Yes, I buy a Lexus, but it loses much less in its value than Lada. It needs to be repaired less often, it has higher wear resistance, etc. When making consumer purchases, the rich approach them from the position of an investor, not a consumer.

And it’s for sure that a rich person will not go to a nearby communication salon for a cell phone, get a loan at crazy rates.
It is not difficult for the psychology of the poor to pay for such a toy with extra time. After all, most consumer loans are taken by poor people who do not even think about how much they will have to process. It turns out that the poor are willing to invest much more for their desire to own the thing now. Naturally, there is not enough money to invest in the future today, as they invested yesterday in overpayments on loans.

The Third Cause of Poverty: A Straw of Stability and Turbulent Streams of Change.

The poor want stability very much and hold on to it like a drowning man at straws. Fear of change, unstable times frighten the poor because their thinking is focused on loss. And this is an important cause of poverty.
They so cling to what they have, albeit not luxurious, but acquired by hard work, that any events associated with sharp jumps, whether it be the exchange rate or political events, frighten and cause panic.

You will not hear from the poor that crises are cool, great, you can profitably buy what you have planned for a long time.

Harsh truth:

Crises cleanse and give opportunities, chances. It depends only on you how you use the opening prospects.

My rich friends are waiting for crises, because it is in a crisis that you can buy what you want, but much cheaper.

For example housing. I bought myself an apartment in 1998, when the real estate market just stood still. Yes, and in this crisis, calculate for yourself how much more profitable you could buy an apartment if you had the money.
Two years ago, the standard price for a one-room apartment in Moscow was 5 million rubles and it was about 150 thousand dollars, and now you could pay less than 100 thousand dollars for it, here's a net profit of 50 thousand dollars, but you most likely , have already bought it on credit and will still pay your 50 thousand rubles to the available 150 thousand.

The fourth cause of poverty: Laziness, justified by convincing arguments.

Here I would note not physical laziness, because I think that people with the psychology of poverty do not have it. They are really hard workers. They can work a lot physically, do things for a long time that they don’t like, but feed now.

It is about laziness to think, to look for solutions, to think.

Let's look at the fact that people with the psychology of poverty are not too lazy to live badly, to waste time discussing a country that does not pay them decent social benefits. However, it is not too lazy to blame parents for not giving them the necessary qualities and financial education.
But they are too lazy to pay taxes, for high benefits, to master financial literacy themselves.

Harsh truth:

The rich are more lazy than the poor, but their thinking is sharpened to find those who will solve their problem, on their own, at the expense of their money. Yes, they will pay for their laziness, unlike the poor.

The poor are not accustomed to paying according to "their bills", they will look for "freebies", freebies, freebies. And at the same time scold those who give them this opportunity.

For example, now the Internet is full of free material, say the same books and films. Scolding the state and the system, the poor do not have a sense of gratitude for the fact that they have this opportunity to use a huge array of knowledge for free. But, as soon as the state adopts a copyright law, numerous freeloaders will be the first to rush in defense of the freebie.

The rich would rather hire a specialist to help solve their gaps in knowledge or skills than sit on resources and waste time learning for free.
For example, if he feels that he needs a specialist in support, goal achievement, the rich will hire a coach, and the poor will go to the resources in search of more information.

In principle, a more illustrative example, probably with domestic issues, is that a rich person will not wash his house himself, but will hire those who will do it for him.

Only the lazy find the cause not in themselves, but in the world around them. For example, in blaming the existence of money in the world, because of which you have to strain.
Don't stress. After all, it's your choice. Live without money, people live like that too. True, a special category.

The fifth cause of poverty, the main one: The mindset of poverty.

All the causes of poverty can be summarized into one, but a large one - the thinking of poverty. Yes, the information that we received from the outside world allows us to make our predictions. We do this through our sensory experience - sensations, perceptions, through acquired knowledge, through generalization of what we have learned.
We express all our generalizations through language, speech. Therefore, I so often catch my clients and participants in the training with phrases that reflect the psychology of poverty.

Harsh truth:

Your poverty mindset is holding you in its grip. There are a lot of misconceptions, false beliefs, stereotypes that literally keep you in the psychology of poverty.

For example, these:

“I am a teacher at an institute, head of a department, and our teachers cannot be rich. The state does not appreciate the work of teachers” is a very common belief.

We see here the desire for someone to take over the evaluation of labor smart people. There is always an opportunity for a teacher, no matter the institute or school, not to stay where they pay little, but to organize something of their own, open an additional source of income, if your work keeps you that way.

Or stereotypes like that ALL talented artists (writers) should be poor, hungry and suffering. There are thousands of other examples when talent and wealth were realized without interfering with each other, but on the contrary, complementing.

Or here is another favorite construction of the psychology of poor thinking: “even though I am poor, I am honest (kind, I don’t steal, I don’t take bribes, etc.). As if there are no rich who honestly created their wealth, including in our country. Not engaged good deeds, charity and becoming sponsors. On the contrary, the number of rich, per thousand people, will be higher among them, if you look at the statistics. After all, what can you take from the poor, right?

Choice of strategy - wealth or poverty

A person who has to suffer because of money will never risk changing jobs, will not accept a new idea to increase income, will hold on with all his might to illusory stability and preach the psychology of poverty, convincing himself and his loved ones that “a tit is better in hands than a crane.” in the sky".

Therefore, I can rightly say that the choice of poverty or wealth strategy is yours to make.
And you do it daily. Continuing to look for the answer to the question in the old thinking, you hardly notice how you are programming yourself for poverty. Those words, those conclusions that you make, pronounce and then you are left in the "cage of poverty"

For example, at the beginning of the article, I suggested that you take a seminar, for a symbolic price.
What choice did you make? And if you wrote out and paid the bill - congratulations, the little step is still done.
And if not, then it is not difficult to guess your excuses.

I don't even have that kind of money
I can't afford it now
Buy, don't buy, I can't do anything
ABOUT! I also like: “You must help for free!”

What makes such a conclusion? Or maybe you need to change your mindset?
You know, maybe you even know the feeling with which these words are pronounced: "It's too expensive, I can't afford it."
Such a phrase is uttered, as a rule, with an air of offended grandeur, they say, where can I go, but you must help us, you must share with us.

What others should do, such people most often know, but what they themselves should do, they prefer not to focus on.

Be afraid of your words!

They have the ability to execute. And turn into traits of your character.
It is typical for women to expect generosity from others, to dream that the sky will open their “bank” to them and shower them with golden rain. That is why they love all kinds of meditations, enjoy occasional incomes and are ready to spend time, energy on this activity, however, and money on such courses.

And the thought does not come to their mind that there is no money in heaven, they are simply not needed there. Money is an earthly object and you are right that you will not take it with you to another world.

So, stop comforting your poverty in this earthly life!

You need:

1. Start creating not wealth, but well-being. Yes, to master financial literacy, earn money worthy of you, be systematic and persistent, live on what you earned yesterday, and not on what you may earn tomorrow.

2. Count on your budget. And if it does not suit you, then strain and increase, using the slightest opportunity, a chance to change not only the place and source of income, but above all your thinking.

3. Answer yourself the question: How much money do I need to be happy?

And don't say that "money can't buy happiness." These concepts are interrelated. If you quarrel with your husband over money, where does your family happiness disappear to?

If the happiness of being rich scares you, then there are studies that show that the happiest people live in financial well-being. When you are not constrained by means and can realize your desires. When you know how to rejoice and enjoy the life that you can afford.

Create your financial well-being and enjoy life, here and now!

PS: By the way, what was discussed in the article.

Have you ever thought why no money or they are not enough, although you work hard, invest in your education and personal growth Are you trying to think positively?

Today we offer a look at financial difficulties and their solution from the point of view of psychology and spirituality.

We will consider the spiritual vow of poverty and other similar oaths, and how they work.

This is the fourth article in a series on spiritual agreements, vows, and other bonds that keep you from living a truly happy life - and how to break free from them:

The most common money block. His idea is the rejection of material wealth for the sake of spiritual quest.

Examples: “Money is soulless. I give up wealth for the sake of closeness to God”, “All rich people are immoral and sinful”, “Only being poor, I lead a life pleasing to God”

History of occurrence“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (Matt. 19:23]

Eat various options interpretation of this famous biblical saying.

For example, that people on the way to money commit sins and crimes; that excess money leads to vicious behavior (revelry, gluttony, vanity).

Also, there is an opinion among spiritual people that money has “low vibrations” and closes the perception of high spheres.

How might it manifest in your life?: You and your entourage have little money, not enough.

As an option: they became smaller after you took up spiritual practices. At this moment, the vow of poverty manifested itself especially strongly.

Additionally, these beliefs can be supported by your environment and family: “poor, but proud”, “all the rich are thieves”, “but we are spiritually richer”, condemn more successful people, expensive shopping.

It is clear why there is no money - how can one own it if it is sinful, immoral and hinders the spiritual path?

New look and release: Crimes and excesses are not a characteristic of money as such, but simply the choice and behavior of people.

Although wealth can increase human vices, poverty also copes with this no worse. Let us recall the criminal statistics in the marginalized strata of society.

Poor people, in fact, are also not very busy with spiritual quests - they are tormented by thoughts of how to get money for survival every day.

The very word “wealth” contains the root “God”, i.e. material wealth is a gift from God for you and your life.

It turns out that the phrase of Christ indicated in the previous paragraph does not expose wealth in general, but an excessive obsession with money.

IN modern world Of course, it is possible to have financial freedom and be a spiritual person - you just need to cancel the vow of poverty and form a new way of thinking about this.

This paragraph applies in particular to those whose work or additional activity associated with serving people - a teacher, doctor, psychologist, healer and others.

You are aware of the high social and moral value of your work, but the pay (and, therefore, your standard of living) leaves much to be desired.

Examples:“We need to help people for free”, “If I have money, I lose my spiritual gifts”, “Healing people for money is a sin, God will punish me”, “I choose high service to people, not money”

Origin history: The origins are in the priestly traditions of ancient civilizations.

Let's look at an example ancient egypt. Those who are fond of past lives must have "remembered" themselves there in one of the incarnations.

Priests - servants of the gods, were one of the most influential and enlightened people, performed the functions of teachers and healers-healers.

At the same time, they did not live on their own, but in a community. That is, money and offerings for labor were received not personally by the “worker”, but by the temple.

He, in turn, guaranteed the priest safety and everything necessary for life.

The temples were rich, and the clergy really could afford not to think about the "despicable metal", focusing on improving their knowledge and spiritual abilities.

At the same time, the respect of the priests in society was very high.

Priestly and monastic vows were given in high emotional intensity and were accompanied by serious secret rituals.

They leave a certain energy imprint and continue to work unconsciously even now.

How can it manifest itself in your life: If you have a "service" job, you probably encounter the prejudice that in such professions "it is indecent to profit from people."

This is often supported and public opinion". It’s like you can’t get decent pay for your hard work.

As a result, you often recycle, do a lot of things for free at all, and it is difficult for you to ask for a pay increase - especially when interacting with clients personally.

Of course, you can work for some time on enthusiasm and heartburn, but without proper replenishment of resources, including financial ones, everything can lead to burnout and disappointment in the profession.

New look and release: You have chosen an activity related to serving people, preserving the “genetic” memory of respect in society and care from the Temple.

You are sincerely and ardently involved in your work and expect “out of habit” worthy recognition for your spiritual work, but alas…

Times have already changed, there is no community or church that would guarantee you safety.

Words about the “great and selfless feat” of your profession have turned into propaganda, which manipulators often use to ... yes, not pay you money.

New challenges for you spiritual man- on one's own recognize the value of their work and its benefits to people and proudly receive decent payment for it.

Karmic "debts" manifest themselves in the material sphere as a loss of finances and real monetary debts (the so-called "retribution").

Examples:“I am indebted to ...”, “I always have to pay for such and such an act”, “I must be punished”

Origin history: Events from other incarnations or your real life history make you feel guilty - before God, society, a particular person.

Maybe you really did something wrong. Or perhaps you were simply imposed a sense of guilt (from a real case - “you were born and ruined your mother’s whole life and health, and now you are in eternal debt”).

People also remembered the "indelible shame" (cases from samurai incarnations).

Add to this the pressure of the Christian ideology of "original sin", violation of the commandments - and you will understand that you can feel guilty about almost anything.

So this “guilt” has to be endlessly redeemed, in literally words are money.

How does it show up in your life? You feel guilty or embarrassed when you have more money or expensive things that friends and family don't have.

You are acutely involved in volunteering and charitable activities, often to the detriment of their well-being, health, family. In general, the “rescuer” complex is typical for you.

Also, the existence of a “need to atone for guilt” is indicated by monetary debts and other onerous obligations (for example, you cannot change a low-paying job for some moral reasons).

New look and release: Understand that what is happening to you is not an external punishment at the will of higher powers, but a decision to punish yourself.

Even if you really “remember” the deeds that terrify you, for example, violence towards people, try to see this as an agreement of your Souls (all participants in the situation received some kind of experience).

If necessary, perform your own ritual of repentance, mourning, atonement for that situation, and complete it.

Your current life and personality, in fact, has nothing to do with those events, you should not suffer anymore.

In addition, sometimes the feeling of guilt is generally imposed on you.

When considering the situations of clients, it often turns out that the person was simply shifted the responsibility for other people or circumstances completely beyond his control.

Try to understand what is happening, understand and forgive yourself.

Now you know about the main types of spiritual money vows that can interfere with your financial well-being.

If in this article you found signs of financial blocks from the past, do not be sad. This is a sign that it's time to say goodbye to them!

The challenge for the seekers of the new time is to harmonize the material and spiritual in your life, complete agreements that destroy you, treat yourself and money from a position of love and respect.

You can relate to money in different ways, but their complete and chronic absence does not decorate life. It is difficult to think about the sublime when you need to decide where to get money. Poverty has not made anyone better - it, like wealth, only shows personality traits.

Speaking about poverty, the wise Dalai Lama said: “People do not spare their health at first for the sake of earning money, so that later they spend money trying to get cured. They are so worried about the future that they do not notice the present. The result is an existence between the present and the future that is not satisfying. A person lives as if he is eternal, and, dying, regrets that he did not have time to live. Someone else wisely added that we give away money we don't have for things we don't need in order to please complete strangers.

We treat money differently. For some, they are the goal of existence, others do not worry about savings at all, living one day at a time. Still others understand that money is a condition of personal freedom, because constant worries about daily bread distract from more important problems. We are closer to the third point of view. Of course, wealth is not a necessary condition for happiness, but poverty has not yet made anyone happy. Now when to support habitual level life is becoming more and more difficult, involuntarily you will think about how to prevent slipping into lack of money (see ""). You need to know the enemy by sight in order to confront him fully armed. Let's try to understand the nature of poverty.

Experts who know the problem better than you and me say that more than half of people living on the edge of poverty in developing countries. The population of developed countries lives many times richer, which is beyond doubt. Russia in this "rating" takes the position of "the best among the worst" - we have 30% more poor people than in prosperous countries, but less than in developing ones.

Causes of poverty (scientific approach)

There are two possible explanations for the causes of this social phenomenon.

The culture of poverty

It can be summarized that the cultural approach suggests that the way out of the "financial impasse" would be the development of such personality traits as ambition, perseverance and thrift. An effective measure could be the rejection of gratuitous social assistance and the transition to paid social work.

Economics of poverty

This theory links poverty to social events and economic inequality. In each country, situations are possible in which the impoverishment of the population is inevitable. The reason may be, for example, a recession in the economy. Ordinary citizens are not involved in economic crises but they are the ones who suffer. There is a clear material stratification of society, in which the middle class practically disappears.

In another concept of this explanation, poverty is considered a consequence of the changing structure of the labor market in the world. Large corporations are trying to locate production in places with cheap labor force Therefore, the governments of some countries artificially restrain the growth of wages, thus attracting investors. Of course, such a policy leads to the impoverishment of the population.

Whatever the reasons for poverty, having arisen once, it reproduces itself in the future. This is how a “circle of poverty” appears, when the insolvent population cannot buy goods, the economy does not develop, and investments stop coming. Break out of this vicious circle extremely difficult.

Poverty is dangerous

Some "Darwinian" scientists tend to think that poverty is driving force society, forcing the development of each person individually and the entire economy as a whole. More adequate researchers consider poverty to be an unambiguous evil, calling for a fair distribution of benefits. Perhaps this approach is close to socialist, but it is accepted in many prosperous countries and fully justifies itself.

Poverty is a negative phenomenon, this fact can be confirmed by anyone who has ever experienced the humiliating state of lack of money. In countries where people are forced to survive in conditions close to poverty, the crime rate always rises and the likelihood of social explosions increases. Even if there are no revolutions, society loses citizens who cannot fully open up due to lack of money. Everyone knows the examples of poor families in which talented children do not receive a decent education and cannot be realized.

In a word, we cannot reconcile ourselves to this painful situation. We will not fight with the structure of society, but it is in our power to organize our life in such a way that we are bypassed by material problems.

Let's get rid of the "sum"!

Sometimes people get poorer due to objective reasons. Let's admit it and let's not moralize. As they say, no one is safe from prison and from the scrip. But there is another kind of poverty, the origins of which are hidden in the person himself, who programs himself to vegetate. Psychologists point to four pronounced factors of poverty, which is rather a state of mind than a real impossibility of a prosperous life (see "").

mentality

Have you noticed how often poverty and uncleanliness are combined? The old furniture in the house is covered with a layer of dust and stains, dirty wallpaper hangs in tatters, insects run on hard plates, and it is difficult to penetrate through unwashed windows. sunlight is a classic picture of poverty. Suppose there is no money to buy new things, but why not keep the house clean? Dirt - not from lack of money, but from the way of thinking. Probably, indifference to the environment grows together with a disregard for oneself. Let us conclude: poverty lives in unwashed hair.

Philistinism

You can call this an unsightly phenomenon beautiful word"burgher" - the meaning will not change. When they save money for a rainy day that never ends, they drink tea from broken cups without touching the ceremonial dishes in the sideboard - these are vivid examples of philistine. He who considers bright days not yet come, never waits for them. Life isn't so bad if you don't make it an eternal preparation for life.

Feelings of inferiority

This problem usually comes from childhood. Parents save money by restricting their children from obligatory pleasures. Mended and over-darned clothes passed down from older children, ugly things that cannot be thrown away until they fall apart from old age are the attributes of a future notorious adult. Interestingly, for approximately the same money, some look decent, while others manage to give the impression of extreme need. Children who grow up in such an environment experience stress when they buy new things for themselves. This genetic poverty remains forever in the mind. What makes people poor is often the fear of spending money.

Programmed poverty

Children who grew up in a house with peeled walls are subconsciously programmed for poverty. The painful state of eternal lack of money remains in the mind, blocking thoughts about another life. True, sometimes a violent rejection of poverty is formed, and people make fantastic efforts to achieve success. But many do not have enough strength to escape from this cage. The words "poverty" and "trouble" have the same root. Chase poverty without a doubt - wealth is in your mind.

The peculiarity of domestic poverty

Now let's move on to the realities of Russian life, since it has character traits. For example, we even have better education and remarkable intellectual abilities do not become synonymous with wealth. Higher education in Russia, almost everyone has, and for some reason money comes to poorly educated individuals. What is the reason for this gross injustice?

financial illiteracy

Our ignorance in the financial sphere and unwillingness to know this area lead to sad consequences. A common phenomenon: I really liked the smartphone, there is not enough cash. Without further doubt, we issue a loan at 70% per annum. Along the way, we pay for the proposed warranty service, credit insurance. As a result, instead of 20 thousand, we pay 35 thousand. But you could take a consumer loan from Sberbank, which would cost only 25 thousand. Yes, it would be necessary to collect documents, come to the bank several times. But if 10,000 rubles is not worth a few hours of these chores, wealth does not threaten us.

We want a lot and immediately

Continuation of the previous topic - irrationality and illiteracy. An excellent feeder for financial pyramids and scammers. Let's stop believing in miracles - to earn money, you need to make an effort.

The only source of income

This is observed all the time - daily work that does not bring good earnings. However, we are afraid to lose workplace, so we don’t even ask for an increase in salary, so as not to annoy the authorities. It is desirable that the money come from several sources. Look for alternatives - they exist.

Emotional spending

To be honest, many of us are subject to this vice. I liked the item and bought it. So women accumulate clothes worn only once. Men can not resist the technical innovations. Financial well-being does not come to those who earn a lot, but to those who spend wisely.

The desire to show off

External symbols of success are a temptation that is difficult to resist. Purchase on credit expensive car, for the maintenance of which there is no money - a direct path to debt bondage.

Inability to refuse

We cannot say “no” when friends, acquaintances or relatives ask for a loan. Debts are almost never repaid on time, and about 20% of applicants will not repay money at all. When borrowing a large amount, be prepared for this. It is possible and necessary to help loved ones, but let's lend only the amount with which you are ready to part forever.

Self-doubt

Wealthy people constantly increase the amount of income and improve their financial literacy. Fear of losing money keeps us from investing in growth. The source of this fear is a lack of knowledge.

Desire not to stand out

We were told long and hard that it is shameful to be rich, that big money can only be stolen and always entails problems. Times have changed, but stereotypes live and do not let us out of their tenacious embrace.

Don't give up! Did you know that millionaires who didn't get rich by inheriting or winning the lottery, and who didn't steal banknotes from gullible citizens, went bankrupt an average of five times? Only one out of ten business ideas is profitable, but it is sure to be found if you do not give up on yourself at the first failure. Don't forget the energetic frog that churned butter while climbing out of the milk pot.

It is these questions that I.A. Ilyin reflects on in his text. In it the writer puts moral problem spiritual poverty of man.

The author, arguing on this topic, relies on his own reasoning. Nowadays, many people strive for material well-being, forgetting about the spiritual world. The writer is concerned that a person who sees the meaning of life only in wealth, in difficult moments of life "can no longer help the art of enduring hardships and allowances", in this case "a person is poor, really poor."

We come to the conclusion that it is impossible to make the pursuit of money the goal in our life, otherwise, having lost it, we will lose ourselves. Many people who do not have much material wealth are able to see this world as bright and colorful. The prose writer admires people who are content with what they have, and "the so-called deprivation" is easy for them, because "the objective size of the state cannot solve the issue of existence in poverty." I.A. Ilyin makes us think about the fact that human spirituality is not determined by material well-being, it depends on the inner state of the soul.

The position of the author can be formulated as follows: the misfortune and danger of today's world lies in the coldness of rich people, but spiritually poor, to poor people, deprived of everything necessary for a normal life.

One cannot but agree with the point of view of I.A. Ilyin.

Indeed, real spiritual poverty lies in a person's lack of understanding and compassion for other people, an indifferent attitude to the whole world around him, which can lead to the death of a person as a person.

A vivid proof is the work of N.V. Gogol "Dead Souls". Main character Stepan Plyushki was a stingy and suspicious person. After the death of his wife, he lost all interest in life. His soul was filled with anger, greed for others. This is a hero personifying the fall of a strong and bright personality, and most importantly, the fall spiritual world person. This example illustrates to readers the importance of preserving the soul, moral qualities and moral principles.

Confirmation of this problem can be found in I. Bunin's story "The Gentleman from San Francisco". The protagonist strives all his life for a luxurious and rich life, without thinking about the true values of life. Even during a long journey, the man could not learn to enjoy simple little things. He believed that having a lot of money, a person becomes happy. The author in the personality of the protagonist shows us the lack of spiritual qualities in a person.

Thus, the problem raised by the prose writer makes each of us think about the importance of spiritual poverty. When purchasing material values, do not forget about inner world person.

To put it briefly: the world is abundant, it has enough goods and resources for everyone.

Modern reality provides you with any opportunities for earning and realizing. If something goes wrong, it is not external “enemies” that prevent it, but internal reasons.

You have little money - which means that the subconscious mind protects you from a larger amount.

It believes that wealth will be dangerous for you in some way, or it will destroy your basic life values.

This is called money vows.

Signs that you have a vow of poverty and the like:

you work in full force but there is not enough money to meet your needs;
there is enough money, but it is hard, you do not like or exhaust your work;
when money comes to you, it quickly "leaks like sand through your fingers";
if your financial situation improves, troubles immediately occur, unforeseen expenses and other events that delay your material resource;
if you have more money than relatives and friends, you are embarrassed, you feel guilty and, perhaps, you begin to solve the problems of others, “save” someone, and so on.

If you find one or more of the listed items, carefully study this material.

We will consider the types of money vows and their manifestation, look for ways to release.

The most common money block. His idea is the rejection of material wealth for the sake of spiritual quest.

Examples:“Money is soulless. I give up wealth for the sake of closeness to God”, “All rich people are immoral and sinful”, “Only being poor, I lead a life pleasing to God”

Origin history:“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” (Matt. 19:23]

There are various interpretations of this famous biblical saying.

For example, that people on the way to money commit sins and crimes; that excess money leads to vicious behavior (revelry, gluttony, vanity).

Also, there is an opinion among spiritual people that money has “low vibrations” and closes the perception of high spheres.

You and your entourage have little money, not enough.

As an option: they became smaller after you took up spiritual practices. At this moment, the vow of poverty manifested itself especially strongly.

It is clear why there is no money - how can one own it if it is sinful, immoral and hinders the spiritual path?

New look and release: Crimes and excesses are not a characteristic of money as such, but simply the choice and behavior of people.

Although wealth can increase human vices, poverty also copes with this no worse. Let us recall the criminal statistics in the marginalized strata of society.

Poor people, in fact, are also not very busy with spiritual quests - they are tormented by thoughts of how to get money for survival every day.

The very word “wealth” contains the root “God”, i.e. material wealth is a gift from God for you and your life.

It turns out that the phrase of Christ indicated in the previous paragraph does not expose wealth in general, but an excessive obsession with money.

In the modern world, of course, it is possible to have financial freedom and be a spiritual person - you just need to cancel the vow of poverty and form a new way of thinking about this.

This item especially applies to those whose work or additional activities are related to serving people - a teacher, doctor, psychologist, healer and others.

You are aware of the high social and moral value of your work, but the pay (and, therefore, your standard of living) leaves much to be desired.

Origin history: The origins are in the priestly traditions of ancient civilizations.

Consider the example of ancient Egypt. Those who are fond of past lives must have "remembered" themselves there in one of the incarnations.

Priests - servants of the gods, were one of the most influential and enlightened people, performed the functions of teachers and healers-healers.

At the same time, they did not live on their own, but in a community. That is, money and offerings for labor were received not personally by the “worker”, but by the temple.

He, in turn, guaranteed the priest safety and everything necessary for life.

The temples were rich, and the clergy really could afford not to think about the "despicable metal", focusing on improving their knowledge and spiritual abilities.

At the same time, the respect of the priests in society was very high.

Priestly and monastic vows were given in high emotional intensity and were accompanied by serious secret rituals.

They leave a certain energy imprint and continue to work unconsciously even now.

How can it manifest itself in your life: If you have a "service" job, you probably encounter the prejudice that in such professions "it is indecent to profit from people."

This is often supported by "public opinion". It’s like you can’t get decent pay for your hard work.

As a result, you often recycle, do a lot of things for free at all, and it is difficult for you to ask for a pay increase - especially when interacting with clients personally.

New look and release: You have chosen an activity related to serving people, preserving the “genetic” memory of respect in society and care from the Temple.

You are sincerely and ardently involved in your work and expect “out of habit” worthy recognition for your spiritual work, but alas…

Times have already changed, there is no community or church that would guarantee you safety.

Words about the “great and selfless feat” of your profession have turned into propaganda, which manipulators often use to ... yes, not pay you money.

New tasks for you as a spiritual person - on your own recognize the value of their work and its benefits to people and proudly receive decent payment for it.

By itself, useful, but within reasonable limits. However, religious fanaticism often led to severe forms of self-restraint.

Vows of austerity could leave a historical imprint in your subconscious.

Examples:“The body must suffer, then the Spirit will soar”, “I give up any worldly joys and pleasures for the sake of serving God”, “I need to give everything I have to the poor / church”

Origin history: The extreme form of the two previous spiritual vows is poverty and selfless service.

At all times there were religious hermits and entire mendicant orders who not only were not interested in finances, but also sought to get away from everything “worldly and mortal”.

They had no property and lived in extreme poverty. In addition, they "pacified the flesh" by uncomfortable living conditions (sleeping on boards, strict fasts, many hours of prayer, and even self-torture).

And of course, the ascetics took a vow of sexual abstinence and celibacy.

You may date men who won't marry you for two spiritual reasons:

Or you are generally "forbidden to marry" - this is a vow of celibacy, the rejection of the family for the sake of "spiritual service."

Either you are “already married”, that is, marriage vows and vows from past lives continue to act on you.

How can it manifest itself in your life: Many spiritual practitioners bring these views into modern reality by adhering to severe dietary restrictions, control of bodily pleasures and sexuality, and other ascetic principles.

Often these people have problems with money.

Even if you don't hold this belief system now, vows of austerity from the past can still work.

In this case, it is as if comfort is “forbidden” to you. You feel uncomfortable if you find yourself in a luxurious environment. You find it difficult to spend money on yourself, especially on pleasure.

Perhaps you have the necessities of life, but only a minimum (poverty).

Also, people with austerity vows usually cannot get their apartment or other large property.

New look and release: If you notice signs of austerity vows in yourself, it’s just time to cancel them, as they are no longer relevant. All the experience that you wanted to get, you got a long time ago.

If you feel like life won't be sweet without some kind of "sublime overcoming," try changing your focus.

It is not so difficult to live in poverty and deny yourself everything, there is no longer a special feat.

Try to fight for a decent salary and an interesting realization in our highly competitive world, while maintaining moral and spiritual values - in my opinion, this is a more worthy and interesting challenge.

These are all decisions to refuse money because they are associated with danger, death, arrests, the loss of friends and loved ones.

Examples: “Being rich is dangerous”, “I give up money for the sake of life/health/family”.

Origin history: Huge layers of troubles and suffering associated precisely with money. It could happen to you in other lifetimes if you believe in them.

But even without that, there are enough examples from the history of the family, the country, modern films and the media.

Each person has their own fear and is associated with a specific case.

For example, my clients recalled that in their family there was dispossession (the decision “It’s useless to earn money, they’ll take it anyway”), murder for money (“Having a lot of money is life-threatening”), squabbles and betrayal among loved ones (“Wealth destroys the family ").

As I wrote at the beginning, the subconscious mind protects you from danger - wealth.

If more funds appear than you are used to, unforeseen expenses immediately arise, or you quickly “lost” money for no reason.

Often even attempts to earn more money fail. For example, large projects and high-paying job offers fail, clients “leave” at the last moment.

New look and release: First you need to understand what not wealth is dangerous, but carelessness, distrust of one's intuition, unbuilt boundaries, which is why the above troubles happened.

A poor person is even less protected from the blows of fate than a wealthy one, that is, refusing money does not exactly guarantee security.

You should heal the described traumatic cases from your history and develop a healthier and more positive outlook on money.

Karmic "debts" manifest themselves in the material sphere as a loss of finances and real monetary debts (the so-called "retribution").

Examples:“I am indebted to ...”, “I always have to pay for such and such an act”, “I must be punished”

Origin history: Events from other incarnations or your real life history make you feel guilty - before God, society, a particular person.

People also remembered the "indelible shame" (cases from samurai incarnations).

Add to this the pressure of the Christian ideology of "original sin", violation of the commandments - and you will understand that you can feel guilty about almost anything.

So you have to endlessly atone for this "guilt", in the literal sense of the word - with money.

How does it show up in your life? You feel guilty or embarrassed when you have more money or expensive things that friends and family don't have.

You are acutely involved in volunteer and charitable activities, often to the detriment of your well-being, health, and family. In general, the “rescuer” complex is typical for you.

Also, the existence of a “need to atone for guilt” is indicated by monetary debts and other onerous obligations (for example, you cannot change a low-paying job for some moral reasons).

New look and release: Understand that what is happening to you is not an external punishment at the will of higher powers, but a decision to punish yourself.

If necessary, perform your own ritual of repentance, mourning, atonement for that situation, and complete it.

Your current life and personality, in fact, has nothing to do with those events, you should not suffer anymore.

In addition, sometimes the feeling of guilt is generally imposed on you.

When considering the situations of clients, it often turns out that the person was simply shifted the responsibility for other people or circumstances completely beyond his control.

Try to understand what is happening, understand and forgive yourself.

Now you know about the main types of spiritual money vows that can interfere with your financial well-being.
