12 Finances 金钱

    Your relationship with money is being affected by your past-life experience. For instance, you may have had a lifetime of extreme poverty or even wealth. Many people struggle to save money because their other lifetimes involved communal wealth-where the convent, tribe, or village provided for everyone’s needs.

    In those lifetimes, there was no such thing as individual savings accounts or separate possessions. As a result, you may find that your finances are a perplexing and upsetting mystery. Your income may roller —coaster up and down—until you come to terms with the fact that you’re currently incarnated in a Western capitalistic society that operates on individualism.

    To heal this situation, understand that money is merely energy and can be used for good purposes or negative ones. Know that money is in itself neutral; it is what you do with it that matters. Act with the intention to help the world through charity and generosity. That is a noble virtue.

    你和金钱的关系受到了过去社会的经验的影响。比如，有可能贫穷的一生或有钱人。在过去，有很多人因为只有共享的财产而不能在今世存钱。那里修道院、部落、村庄为当地居民提供了所有需要的物品。

    在那样的过去，个人的储蓄账户或个人拥有的财产等并不存在。所以，你也许会觉得，这世上的钱是复杂复杂、复杂、混乱的。在你接受变成基于个人主义的西方资本主义社会之前，你的经济状况将会发生巨大的变化。

    要想治愈这种状况，你必须明白，金钱仅仅是一种能源，可以用于好目的和坏目的。金钱本质上是中立的，使用在什么用途上很重要。请以同情心和宽容的心，帮助世界这样的意图行动。那才是有德的人应该做的行为。
