Welcome to the Fifth Season Meditations. Most people have some attraction to money, some more than others. A few may even be obsessed with it. But why? After all, money is just paper, pieces of metal, or electronic numbers on a computer. Of course, people don’t view money for its physical attributes. Rather, they view money as a means to obtain what they truly desire, what they truly need in life. People’s obsession is not really with money, but with the satisfaction of this deeply human need, and money is the tool they will use to fulfill that need. The key to acquiring wealth is knowing what human need that money will satisfy. To do this, you must connect your urge and desire for wealth to your own natural human needs. So what are those needs? Beyond the basic survival needs of food, water, and shelter, every human being requires security, a sense of certainty that they have some control to avoid pain and even to obtain pleasure. Through money, we have the ability, or at least some control, to avoid disasters as well as to afford things that can bring us joy. Then there is the need to feel important or valued. Money is not only a tool to achieve this, but also a symbol of worth. Why do you think so many people desire large mansions, luxury cars, lavish jewelry, and designer clothes? It is because these are all symbols of status and worth, a human need that we all share. I know that to some this may seem superficial, but remember that if you consider yourself part of this human race, it is also a need that you possess within you. Don't repress it, don't deny it, accept yourself as you truly are, a human being with needs and desires. Then there is the need for love and connection. You might wonder what love has to do with money. Well, some people might believe that they will only be loved if they have enough money. They think that they will only be able to attract a partner if they are rich. So this deep obsession with wealth could simply be the desire to be loved, whether it is justified or not, it is a desire, a need that you have within you. Don't deny these human aspirations, acknowledge them. It is sometimes very difficult to be honest with yourself about your own desires, but you must be honest and truly accept yourself for who you are. Finally, there is the need to fulfill your greatest purpose. The ultimate fulfillment will then be achieved. The problem, however, is that you cannot reach this pinnacle of self-realization until all previous needs are met. That is why it is essential to remain true to yourself and understand what you need at this moment. In this meditation, you will identify your deepest desire for wealth, what you really need from money. You will choose the exact amount of money needed to satisfy this need and you will imagine yourself already in possession of this wealth. And you will do all this while falling asleep. This process allows, through the incredible power of your subconscious mind, to create a link between your aspiration for wealth and your own natural needs as a human being. In doing so, you will generate an irresistible force of manifestation power, an extraordinary ability to attract an abundance of wealth into your life.
