Evolved souls have had many incarnations on Earth and, as a rule, have gone through the entire spectrum of human experience. Paradoxically, it is these souls who are discovering that achieving abundance is one of the most stressful areas in their lives and in their fundamental belief system.

Why is material wealth such a difficult task for many advanced, old souls?
Old souls carry the baggage of lives where they have faced darkness, poverty and abuse of power. The most traumatic aspects of these lives leave scars on the soul, just as physical trauma leaves scars on the body. Younger, less evolved souls are much more comfortable with money and possessions for two simple reasons: they have more interest in the material world, and they have fewer obstacles, vows, and past life karma preventing them from living in abundance.


Despite how much material abundance would help us learn, abundance is not just about having more money, houses, relationships, or whatever else you want. Many wealthy people suffer immensely in their personal lives. From my experience, I remember a time when I had everything I could want: a nice apartment in one of the most expensive cities in the world; family; a stable job that allowed me to pay my bills; long vacations and the freedom to travel the world.
I remember one of my old friends said that she would give a lot to live a life like mine, that my life is her dream! Intellectually, I knew that she was right, but I also realized how completely unhappy I myself was in this wealthy life of mine. I would give it all in an instant in exchange for something better. What is the "best", I still did not know with certainty. But I was firmly convinced that none of my real "accomplishments" mattered. Abundance is not just material success. At the same time, a person does not become more or less spiritual by being poor or unhappy. There is nothing wrong with being rich.


Many advanced souls need to clear their minds of misconceptions and social agendas and gain a clear understanding of what abundance really means to them. Old souls, messengers from the stars, and other advanced souls are often afraid of authority. Their souls want to play safe by avoiding power to make sure they never hurt anyone again or get hurt by betraying themselves. This fear of power is a problem at the soul level, often beyond all conscious awareness. However, it is one of the major blocks to abundance. Until this block is started, no amount of conscious affirmation or positive thinking will touch us deeply enough to have any effect. In the physical world, this fear of power can play out in many forms, from living in a parent's basement to addiction and crime. Oaths and vows from a past life are a good example of such difficulties in achieving material wealth. If we have had many monastic incarnations, we may have vows of poverty even if we never took them. At certain times when it can be spiritually beneficial, we should certainly be able to choose simplicity.
How to remove the causes of lack of money and return to abundance

If we have to constantly struggle with poverty in the absence of a conscious choice for us, the vow of poverty at the soul level may require release. Once these vows are found and cleared, life in the physical world will also begin to align. Vows and trauma in past lives often manifest as self-sabotage in many old souls. There may be a feeling as if after each rise again and again there is a destruction of what was built with enormous efforts. Another problem is the lack of "grounding". Very advanced souls tend to be far off the earth, having too much energy in the upper chakras while struggling with the practical problems of life here on Earth.


For some groups of souls, this is especially noticeable. Why earn money, get an education, live a stable life?

All this seems meaningless when there is so much wealth in spiritual research and in the unseen world. These souls tend to have other interests and priorities that do not necessarily align with what is considered a successful life by worldly standards. Indeed, sometimes it is helpful to look around and ask yourself, what would the world be like if highly spiritual people had access to more resources? If they could allocate these resources and use them wisely from a spiritual point of view?

Sometimes all it takes to achieve solid grounding is to practice being more determined, organized, and efficient. Resilience and "grounding" require deep inner work. Developed souls often choose incarnations in difficult conditions: in problematic families, with a lot of wars, struggles, losses, hardships and a lack of love. For this reason, it can be difficult for many of them to meditate and remain calm due to the destructiveness of the life they live. The purpose of this interaction with the pain of humanity is to transform it, this pain, into love and light, but many old souls are bogged down, stuck in the process itself.

Family and birth traumas, such as abuse or loss of property, are often inherited from generation to generation. These deep wounds hold their energy tenaciously, making it difficult to create space for more light and joy. Traditional therapy and the simplistic use of the Law of Attraction often bring little relief to advanced souls, and tend to leave them feeling even more of a failure. However, once we get deeper into the soul level and transform the blocks there, everything in life will gradually fall into place. Visualization and prayer often work better than meditation. Soul work tends to be more transformative and effective than old school therapy.

The key is to recognize the deep issues at the soul level and start working from the soul level.

It is these questions that I.A. Ilyin reflects on in his text. In it, the writer poses the moral problem of the 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". The protagonist 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 of the human spiritual world. 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, one should not forget about the inner world of a person.

Thank you for your attention.

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

Today we offer a look at financial problems 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]

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.

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 purchases.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

Vow of Poverty and Other Spiritual Causes of Financial Problems Have you ever wondered why there is no money or not enough money, although you work hard, invest in your education and personal growth, and try to think positively? Today we offer a look at financial problems and their solution from the point of view of psychology and spirituality. We will look at the spiritual vow of poverty and other similar vows and how they work. 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. These are called money promises. Signs that you have a vow of poverty and the like: you work at full capacity, 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, they quickly “leak 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 experience feeling of guilt 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. 1. Spiritual vow of poverty 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 story: "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.

Also, there is an opinion among spiritual people that money has “low vibrations” and closes the perception of high spheres. How it can manifest itself in your life: You and your environment have little money, not enough. As an option: they became smaller after you took up spiritual practices.

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 liberation: 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 goods are God's gift to 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. 2. The oath of selfless service 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. Examples: “I 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” 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. Echoes of this tradition can be seen in Christian monasteries and other religious communities. 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 it may manifest in your life: If you have a "service" job, you probably face 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. 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 Liberation: You have chosen an activity related to the service of 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 your 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, are to independently recognize the value of your work and its benefits for people and proudly receive decent pay for it.

3. Asceticism and "pacification of the flesh" Asceticism itself, as a spiritual practice, is 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 all worldly joys and pleasures in order to serve God”, “I must give everything that I have to the poor / church” Origin story: 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. Either you are “forbidden to marry” at all - this is a vow of celibacy, abandoning your family for the sake of “spiritual service.” Or you are “already married”, that is, marriage vows and vows from past lives continue to act on you. How it may manifest in your life: Many spiritual practitioners bring these views into modern reality, 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 setting. 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 liberation: 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. 4. Giving up wealth for security These are all decisions to give up money because they are associated with danger, death, arrests, loss of friends and loved ones. Examples: “Being rich is dangerous”, “I give up money for the sake of life/health/family”. History of occurrence: Huge layers of troubles and sufferings connected 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 is useless to earn money, they will take it anyway”), murder for money (“Having a lot of money is life-threatening”), squabbles and betrayal among loved ones (“Wealth destroys the family "). How it manifests itself in your life: 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 liberation: First you need to understand that it is not wealth that is dangerous, but carelessness, distrust of one's intuition, undrawn 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. And, of course, you need to find and rewrite destructive money vows.

5. Guilt and retribution Karmic "debts" manifest themselves in the material sphere as 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." History of origin: 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).

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 liberation: 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.

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.

This is a sign that it's time to say goodbye to them!
