A number of limiting beliefs contribute to keeping many people in what has come to be called a poverty mentality. Underneath these self-limiting mental constructs often lies a deep misunderstanding of the true nature of money. Money is clearly not the root of all evil. Even a rocket scientist can work out that money is, by nature, neutral. It's the use of it that makes it work for evil or for good.
Money is obviously energy.
It can be trapped energy, or energy in motion. The problems start when we confuse the symbol money in all its forms, for the things which it transiently symbolizes. We are not paying, you'll note, for the actual material value of the pot - 75 cents of clay and 12 cents of pigment. Yet, this simple and obvious example reveals a truth about money which we can well put to use if we wish to prosper. It can often appear to be about security - the more money we imagine we have, the safer we'll be in our old age.
