Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money [Paperback]

Barbara Wilder (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 15, 1999

War, Poverty, hunger and crime are caused by the fear that surrounds money and its scarcity. Money is energy, and energy is limitless. Only our fear and our limited way of thinking make money seem scarce. Using the tools and the exercises in Chapter Three, you can reconnect with the sacred origins of money, and direct the flow of money through your life and the world on a current of love, joy, goodwill and abundance.

Money is energy, and according to quantum physics the universe is made up of energy, which becomes matter only when information is focused on it. Wood is wood and not iron because of the information that forms the two different kinds of matter. Too many of us labor under the belief that money is "a necessary evil," which is, more often than not, difficult to obtain. By changing our feelings about money from fear, anger, greed and scarcity, to love, joy, abundance and goodwill, we can change the way money moves through our lives and the lives of others all over the world. "MONEY IS LOVE" teaches that as we begin to remove the negative thoughts and feelings that surround money and redefine money as love, we bring the power of love into all of our monetary transactions. This in turn opens our hearts to allow money to flow abundantly into our lives, creating a place of peace and joy. From this place of harmony we can then send money back out into the world on a flow of love and gratitude. Money healed can begin to heal all that it touches. And because money flows like blood through the planet, diseased it causes disease, but infused with love, money can become rejuvenating. This work stands out from other transformational money theories, because it deals with not only healing our personal relationship with money, but with healing the money itself, returning it to its sacred roots and then using this money infused with love as an agent for healing "Money is the blood of the planet. Heal the money and we can heal the world." Page 82.

About the Author

Barbara Wilder began studying the metaphysics of money the moment she got her first allowance. From the beginning money both fascinated and repelled her. Educated as an actress, dancer and writer, she stumbled into a career budgeting films and projecting costs as a production accountant on motion pictures. Her spiritual education in The School of Actualism, an hermetic mystery school, where she studied for eleven years, came fast on the heels of her accounting career, and it was during this time that she began to uncover the inherent truths about money and the part it plays in spiritual lesson learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, June 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money (Paperback)

I purchased this book because I was trying to work past my negative associations with money that were limiting me. This was the only book that was very helpful in transforming all the negative feelings and associations that I had with money to the positive and allowing that blockage to open up and flow freely. It was also the only book that I could find that explained to me why I had those feelings, where they came from and how to cure them. I hope it will help others experiencing the same.

This review is from: Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money (Paperback)

I was attracted to this book because it tied together the words "Sacred" "Money" and "Love". So much of what I observe in the world is so contrary to these words (especially together!) that I was intrigued and simply had to see what Wilder had to say.

I was not disappointed.

The book is not very long, so I wasn't sure at first, especially when the first 41 pages were basically all introduction, including a Brief History of Money.

All was interesting AND I wondered... "Where's the beef?"

The last sentence of the "Brief History" hit the nail on the head with these words: "The trick is to reunite money with its spiritual roots. To make money love."

The rest of the book does exactly that: teaches, informs and inspires the reader exactly how to interact with money as love and then live that experience out in the world so as to reunite everyone with that experience.

The informed, inspired reader could take that message and literally become a "Money is Love" evangelist.

Try it out: do the exercises and see for yourself. Money IS love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you have a loving relationship to Money?, August 2, 2003

Julia Ruskell (West of Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Money is Love: Reconnecting to the Sacred Origins of Money (Paperback)

I bought this book on the recommendation of an store owner who has used the principles in this book successfully(a $10000 investor). She had heard about it from a customer who had used it successfully. Within one day of reading and beginning to apply the principles and do the exercises, I had solved a seemingly unsolvable financial dilemma. Within 5 days, I had been offered $5000 part time job. I now recommend it to all my friends. There is a chain of miracles happening down here in Georgia (USA). Let's get it spreading throughout the world. If you are ready to change your relationship to money into a loving one, buy this book, read it and do the work.
