“Money no object”
“Money no object” is usually understood to mean “spend as much as is needed to achieve the desired goal” However if we look at it word by word it can mean something else, simply that money does not exist in a physical sense. The coins and notes we call money only act as money because we all agree on their value. If we did not agree, these coins and notes would become just paper and metal again. What money is objectively is not the same as what it is subjectively.
This expression has been going around in my head these last few days. Tonight I read an article on another website, from a lady Ros Gardener, whose actions i admire very much. Her message reminded me of this phrase “Money no object.” and so i wrote a reponse. If you would like to read her original message then you can find it at http://www.netprofitstoday.com/blog/successful-people-core-philosophy-revealed Here is my response:
Firstly, i would like to say i have been receiving your newsletter for a couple of years, and your quality Ros has always really shone through. Your willingness to share, support and foster abundance and know-how with others is so inspiring.
Your attitude of sharing, as i see it, is reflected in the way you live as though money and business are not a limited pot that have to be fought over in a win / lose competition way, but rather your actions say that business is a win / win, sharing sucess together, way.
And right now, in the midst of this tightness around money - the credit crunch, where fear of losing is freezing everything up, you are bringing exactly the right message. Its not the money - its the way it serves our dreams that counts.
The sentence that has been in my head these last couple of weeks is “Money no object.” (It seems the credit crunch is helping us to wake up from the dream of money as value simply disappears day by day. If money were really an object it couldn’t simply disappear)
For so much of my life i have lived in what i would call “poverty consciousness” as opposed to “abundance consciousness”. This poverty consciousness has affected me most in the way i release money, it has always been hard to spend in an open hearted way, joyful way, to really let go and trust that there is a flow of money of which i am a part. But now I am beginning to truly realise that it is in the emotion with which i spend that there exists the potential for real transformation. For me until now the truth is that money has been an object. It is something that i have perceived as the source of security and so i have felt the reluctance to let it go. Instead in some way i needed to sit on it instead.
But now, to be in the flow of money, as i look through money to my wishes, for myself and for those around me, rather than look at money as an object in its own right, this is what i am learning and beginning to truly practice now.
My work is with colour, colour as energy, and your message Ros is that money is energy. Energy to live our life, not an object to count on for its own sake. If i put that in to colour terms i would say that red represents our relationship to the earth and thus the material world. (Red is traditionally associated with the chakra - the energy centre - at the base of the spine). Red can be the assertiveness of the top dog with its tail up (indicating strong red chakra energy) as it dominates those around it - competition, or it can be the abundance of Father Christmas in his red cloak, bring presents and goodies for all. Your message Ros is very much the latter.
Red’s complementary colour is Green. Green represents flow and is associated with the energy centre located at the heart. (Just notice how our feelings flow throughout the day) So here we have a red / green balance to strike. Red = sit on money, green = let it flow, spend from the heart.
Even more importantly though from your message Ros, is the importance of blue. Blue is the energy centre of the throat that sits above the heart. Here is our power to declare and affirm our beliefs and desires. Red - earth is a place to manifest our (blue) dreams - just as you say your friend Yanick is doing.
Money is simply the medium for this. Money is no object - just a means to an end, the means to realise our dreams.
And if i may, in closing, it strikes me that in so far as your name Ros - Rosalind, includes the energy of Rose - which is pink (a light red) - then you Ros, help shine the light in to the red of abundance and material success for all of us, helping to make all our lives richer in the true sense. Thank you so much.
