Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of Wealth Embodied, where we activate you in your wealth consciousness, your creative genius, and your visionary impact. I'm your host, Alara Sage. I am the Oracle of Wealth. And I help visionaries and visionary entrepreneurs to shift their beliefs, to shift their subconscious mind, to shift barriers into breakthrough wealth, and to embody
inexhaustible wealth as effortless as breathing to embody our innate state of wealth, which I believe is an exhaustible wealth. And I believe that we are headed towards a new paradigm of wealth creation and wealth experiencing by understanding that wealth is our natural state of being. All we have to do is follow those intuitive hits, follow what really lights us up.
and be true to ourselves. wealth flows.
Now, I speak a lot about this and one thing to understand is that what I speak to may trigger you. What I speak to is a new way and people don't like change most of the time. Even when they say they do, they can be quite resistant to it. And we live in a society that experiences a lot of lack and scarcity.
So here I am speaking of wealth as effortless as breathing and some people would say, F you, that's not reality. But I believe it is. And just because we're not experiencing it doesn't make it not reality. It just means we haven't learned how to create that for ourselves.
Alara Sage (02:02.264)
So today I wanna blow the box off of conventional thinking once again and speak about the cost of retirement.
And in this context of this conversation, we're speaking to the general theme of retirement where people are working in a career or several careers until about 65 years of age, and then they are stopping working and they're living off of their retirement and off of their savings and their investments and anything the government gives them, pensions, et cetera.
Alara Sage (02:39.506)
And I'll be honest, this just doesn't resonate with how I see the new paradigm of wealth. So if you are retiring or retired or are working towards this structure, I'm not here to judge you. And I'm most definitely not here to tell you what to do. I am here to offer a new way of seeing something.
And I'm here to offer you new perspectives, new levels of awareness that you can then choose to either see or not. And even if you see what I'm saying, that doesn't mean you have to agree with all of it. Okay? It's important to sometimes call this stuff out. We're so quick to just want to defend our opinions and defend our opinions, our perspectives.
rather than simply hear and allow our own inner wisdom and guidance to show us what resonates with us and what does not. So by all means leave what does not resonate and take what resonates with you.
Alara Sage (03:59.458)
This idea that...
We must stop working.
Alara Sage (04:08.682)
is kind of the first hitch of the current structure that I personally don't resonate with.
And this is because I question what is work.
Alara Sage (04:24.564)
I choose to align to work that I feel very lit by, fulfilled by, driven, moved by. I stand for a movement. And could I ever stop supporting that movement? I can't say, you know, I'm 44 years old, so I have some years still.
when I reach 65 years of age, maybe I'll say, you know what?
So again, there's no judgment here. I'm personally not in this experience yet. But what if we didn't necessarily see work as our society sees work? Something that you go and you clock in and you exchange for money and there's some level of having to do it, right? Even if you enjoy it, there is some level of having to do it.
What if we weren't in that reality at all?
Would you then feel that at 65 you needed to stop working? I mean, 65 is still young from my perspective.
Alara Sage (05:47.212)
There's still a lot for you to receive and give to the world, to society. And I believe that the current retirement structure was created when people were working in factories and doing a lot of things that they would really rather not be doing. And so
You grinded and you worked and you did what you needed to do. And then the time came and you got to drop all of that and live your life. 65. And I just don't believe we're there anymore. I don't believe that we're in a society where A, 65 is an age where we should be stopping our creative process.
I mean, according to Bruce Lipton, we should be living to 150 years old. And I absolutely resonate with that. Humans are meant to be living much longer lives. 65 is nothing.
Alara Sage (06:55.808)
And also this whole idea of grinding and doing what you got to do to put bread on the table and then retiring so that you can live your life doesn't feel good. I mean, if you really think about that, it doesn't feel good. So again, I'm not saying that people don't enjoy their jobs because I believe people enjoy their jobs. And there's a difference as I've outlined in previous conversations.
between enjoyment and what actually lights you up. There's vibrational difference there. And we can enjoy a lot of different things, but that doesn't mean we want to be doing them our whole life. And most of the time, our hobbies change as we evolve, but our life's work doesn't change. What we are here to do at a soul level doesn't change. can
alter the lens of experience through which that light of God shines through us. But the actual light doesn't change. And I know for damn sure that at 65 my light will not be dim. I feel like I'm just getting started in life. No way in 20 years am I going to be slowing down unless something happens.
You know?
Alara Sage (08:28.648)
So if we contemplate this and we open up to the idea that this old structure of retirement is old and outdated and it's no longer needed because it costs us our aliveness. costs us potentially even our life's work.
Alara Sage (08:56.91)
because it sets up this idea that you just get through it and then at 65 you can stop.
You know, just put your head down. And at 65, you can lift your chin back up.
So what is that costing us? Is that costing us our aliveness? Is the workforce costing our aliveness? Is our belief that we have to grind and strive and struggle and hustle?
Alara Sage (09:34.83)
Costing us? Absolutely.
Alara Sage (09:42.222)
But what does the idea that at 65, you're out of the workforce, at 65, there's an implication there that you're no longer needed.
you have nothing more valuable to bring to the world. And of course, that's not completely true. We know lots of older people beyond 65 that bring immense value to society. So while we see those examples, it's not the majority. And while we see those examples, again, the structure, the system is still implying
Alara Sage (10:24.568)
Just retire and live your days out.
In hobby, enjoying yourself in hobby. Well.
Alara Sage (10:38.059)
Is that enough for you?
does the idea of just being in hobbies and the like light you up and it very well could or it might bore you out of your mind or it might scare you because you have applied yourself in a way that has always created a sense of value and
As you think of this structure of retirement, where's the value?
So does retirement cost us?
Our life's work, does it cost us this availability that we are here to bring value to society?
Alara Sage (11:35.502)
I believe there's potential that it costs us that. I believe that there's a lot of people who let go at 65 and by all means, enjoy your life, but do it your whole life. By all means, enjoy your life, but don't wait until you're retiring to enjoy your life.
Do you see this work and grind and then know what if we just allow ourselves to truly believe that we can create our life wealthy through our aliveness, through bringing value to society and that that natural desire within us will carry us through. Of course, as we age, we will step back from
more energy consuming roles and whatever happened to elders, whatever happened to the wisdom that is obtained through life's experiences and those people being at the head of the conversation at the head of the table.
So has retirement cost us our elders? Has retirement cost us the wisdom of experience as our elders fall away and fall off and disappear into hobbies and quote unquote, enjoying their life?
Alara Sage (13:29.068)
Imagine for a moment.
Alara Sage (13:34.414)
person who has lived their liveness, a person who has been able to stay true to what lights them up radiates that energy through their body, through their eyes, through their voice. Imagine this person creating a great wealth in society and staying centered in the heart.
staying in service to a higher good.
Imagine this person going through all of these life experiences and then sitting at the table of some of the most important discussions in business, in politics, in government, in...
all of the industries.
Alara Sage (14:35.586)
And imagine the absolute value that this person could bring.
Alara Sage (14:48.46)
As I say this, hear, well, a lot of times these older people are just stuck in their ways and they're not open to innovation and therefore they don't deserve a seat at that table because the companies and the world is changing and these older people can't always change with it. And I agree with that. However, we're speaking to a person that remained in their aliveness. They are deeply connected to themselves.
that inner wisdom and the universe. So they're not going to be resistant to change. They're not going to be set in their ways. They're going to be actually more attuned to the shifting that's occurring than the younger people. Isn't that interesting? Isn't that a different take on older people?
that they could actually through their life experience have really made that connection, have that communication with their intuition and the streams of consciousness. And therefore they know where we are all going. They know where everything is going and they actually are advisors. They are oracles. They are sages to the change.
to where humanity is evolving. Now imagine this person sitting at the table of the most important discussions.
Alara Sage (16:27.054)
That's what I want. That's what I want for humanity. That's what I want for all of those people who are turning 65 and 70 and 80.
Alara Sage (16:42.19)
I desire them to bring that wisdom forward. Now we're not there, right? There aren't a lot of people necessarily who have lived that aliveness and are deeply connected, but this is where I believe we are headed.
And as you change, as there is evolution as we are in right now, very rapid evolution, we are often taking that step before the step has actually emerged to hold our foot as it lands. We are stepping forward before we have something to hold us.
And that's what this conversation is about. It's about the possibility of rewriting what we do when we hit 65, 70.
It's about planting these seeds.
that you can retire in a new way, that you can be the elder that we all need.
Alara Sage (18:00.418)
You can continue to bring value to society. can continue to receive value from society and calling back.
the gift of our elders to the table.
Alara Sage (18:24.056)
So I hope this has challenged you. hope it has brought a new perspective. hope.
Alara Sage (18:34.904)
that it has done exactly what it has wanted to do for you.
Alara Sage (18:44.75)
I will be resuming guest conversations when I have my audio and which will be this week so probably resuming next week and getting back into the groove of all of the things I appreciate you as a listener and if you've been here through my move and all of that I appreciate your patience and your compassion.
I love you so much. Until next time.
