Hello, hello and welcome to another episode of Wealth Embodied where we activate and inspire you in your wealth consciousness, your visionary impact and your creative genius. I'm your host, Olara Sage. I am the Oracle of wealth and I.
help women.
to embody what I call an exhaustible wealth.
Alara Sage (00:35.426)
This is the reclamation of your innate state of wealth, innate state, that you are innately inexhaustible.
Today we're going to be talking about can God and wealth coexist? Because this was definitely a challenging.
Alara Sage (01:01.962)
is how I always saw it, for me, a push-pull that I personally experienced. Before I go into my story and the deeper facets of this conversation, I just want to define what wealth is because in humanity, we often think of wealth as money, and money is one aspect of wealth.
So can God and money coexist? Can God and wealth coexist? Wealth, from my perspective, is resource.
And the experience of wealth in the human reality is all about relationship and the exchange that occurs in those relationships. So wealth, from my perspective, is quality of exchange, quality of relationship, and thus access to resource.
And money is one of those aspects. And so I wanted to define that because when I speak to wealth, I'm not just speaking to money, but I am speaking to money. And I want to throw back and forth in this conversation the word wealth and the word money, because they might land differently in your body. And well,
This podcast is called Wealth Embodied because this is about embodiment, meaning the connection to the awareness of your body.
Alara Sage (02:50.328)
We want to feel those fields. We want to recognize how the word wealth lands differently than the word money does. And how does a title can God and wealth coexist land in your body or a title can God and money coexist in your body?
And just take a nice deep breath. We're just playing in the frequency of curiosity.
Alara Sage (03:21.144)
So back when I really started my spiritual awakening, I had my spontaneous Kundalini awakening very much at the beginning of my quote unquote conscious spiritual journey. had actually, when I look back, know, been on a spiritual journey my whole life, but very early on into my, I'm going to sit and meditate and, you know, awaken myself journey. I had a spontaneous Kundalini awakening.
And shortly after that, I found myself in.
Alara Sage (03:58.808)
Duality, basically.
in this one perspective of God creation, or I would go into meditation and I would just dissolve into
the ineffable.
Alara Sage (04:19.937)
and I would feel it. I would feel the pure expression of existence. I exist. And I would experience it as enough.
that to recognize that I exist was enough.
Alara Sage (04:51.467)
And then I had a business and
My business with people was not a choice I consciously made in my human self. It was a choice of my higher mind. I was working with animals and I was directed to start working with people. So my business wasn't coming from some place of like, want to be this big star or anything like that. It was really coming from, wanted to work with the animals and then I was
Side-swiped into working with people And that sounds a little bit As if I don't appreciate it But I do and i've come to deeply love working with people But I say that because I wasn't I didn't enter business going. Okay, i'm going to be this You know spiritual guru and i'm going to make all this money and i'm going to be successful And yet when I entered the realm of business and entrepreneurship
I
could feel the potentiality there.
Alara Sage (06:07.169)
This was my third business. I had a business working with animals and many years ago I had a baking business, a healthy baking business.
Alara Sage (06:22.123)
And this was the first one that I really felt like, wow, this is, there's no limits. When I am helping people connect to their limitlessness, I myself will be expanding my own limit. And, you know, that's very beautiful, very profound to journey in this space of entrepreneurship.
as being able to expand our own limits and simultaneously help others expand theirs.
Alara Sage (07:00.499)
And there was also a reality that came with all of this. At this point, I had gone through a divorce and I was a single mother. And so my business needed to pay the bills.
Alara Sage (07:18.253)
So I found myself at this crux, I'll call it.
I used to be a rock climber. And in rock climbing, the hardest point of the climb is called the crux. If that's right at the top or if that's in the middle, it doesn't matter. It's just the point that requires the most skill to get past. And this has been my crux of life, literally.
And I've spoken about this before. would have one side pulling me into, am all that I ever need. I am pure love. I am is-ness, being-ness, creation. And then this other side pulling me into, I want to create and experience wealth. I want to create and experience luxury because I know that that is possible for me. And that desire was not coming from my ego. I'm not arrogantly stating,
or naively stating that my ego wasn't involved because it was. But the essence of the desire for wealth is actually very much who I am in this reality. It's my destiny, so to speak. And it was coming from within. And this entire conversation of can God and money coexist? Because
At this time in 2018, there was a lot of conversation. This is before the online boom of mentors and coaches. And there was a lot of conversation of like, you shouldn't charge for spiritual teachings. That's wrong. And I didn't have a level of conviction in all of this yet.
Alara Sage (09:13.249)
And so I questioned myself, is it wrong to charge to help others realize themselves as creators?
Is it wrong to charge a lot of money? Is it wrong to charge money at all? Is it wrong to become wealthy through that modality or industry?
and
Alara Sage (09:45.676)
The question arises right now, if I didn't have any bills to pay, would I just have given my work away for free? And I'll answer that question with yes, but not because I believed that that's what needed to happen.
Alara Sage (10:09.611)
I would have done it to escape.
feeling of unworthiness.
Alara Sage (10:20.445)
And the truth is that I wouldn't have escaped it. You cannot escape it if you believe it. And I did. I believed it.
But to charge to outwardly charge and particularly higher ticket amounts for spiritual teaching requires you to get really clear on what do you believe? What do you value?
Alara Sage (10:49.399)
And what is your worth?
Alara Sage (10:54.349)
So I went back and forth with this, back and forth with this. The true, my true heart's desire of creating wealth would arise and I would think, okay, I can do this. Like this is just another thing to create like everything else I've created in my life very successfully. And then my unworthiness would come in and my unworthiness would tell me that that's shameful. That it's shameful to charge money.
for spiritual teachings. And I would step back and I would give away and over give and back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Alara Sage (11:37.505)
And as I've mentioned before, had multiple six figures in the bank account, six figure business, and then all of it was dissolved. My money was stolen, my business collapsed. And it's the greatest teaching of my whole life.
And that happened in 2021 and I'm still wrapping up those lessons pretty much wrapped up, but I'm not going to make that claim.
I've learned better.
And in those moments where I had nothing, right, in those moments where I actually was in debt.
Alara Sage (12:21.502)
I was taken straight to the shame.
Alara Sage (12:26.187)
Shame I've spoken about before is diabolical. It's the closest emotion to death When you are in the frequency of shame or when shame exists in your subconscious mind when you have perceptions that you are shameful Even if they're not you're not feeling it, which is a large quantity of the population by the way because
Shame is so painful that we tend to numb it out and we disassociate.
Alara Sage (12:59.117)
We disassociate from it so that we don't have to feel that it's diabolical.
Alara Sage (13:08.599)
The shame around money. The shame around wealth.
Alara Sage (13:16.711)
And the great mother took me into it and she showed me the shame I held around money, the shame I held around sex, the shame I held around power and stripped me of all of it.
Alara Sage (13:34.911)
And I know I've told this story a hundred times, but I bring it into this space because I really went to the depths of my own being. And I really went there from a true desire to understand in my heart, can God and wealth coexist?
and what I was taught by the great mother and what I ended up embodying.
is that of course it's not separate because nothing this is so hard for humanity to accept nothing exists outside of God
Alara Sage (14:28.33)
Now it doesn't make all actions loving. There are plenty of actions, as we all know, that are deeply painful and hurtful and all the things.
Alara Sage (14:44.246)
So not all of our actions as humans and as beings serve love. They don't all serve source creation God. They're often selfish and true selfishness not love of self first and foremost, which is misunderstanding there.
Alara Sage (15:11.04)
But wealth and money do not exist outside of creation. And you have the choice. You can experience wealth literally as greed and as the devil and as something that doesn't exist with God. And you create a lot of suffering for yourself.
Because we live in a world where money is very much a part of our reality and now every time you are engaging you are exchanging With money you are shaming yourself Whether that's conscious or subconscious
and you're subconsciously pushing it out of your space and you're subconsciously denying it. And that is all through a choice of perception, how you are choosing to perceive money.
Alara Sage (16:11.136)
which is rooted in shame. We perceive money as greedy, evil, wrong, know, the root of hell because we feel shame around it.
But money itself, and I've had several conversations with money and I've had a lot of conversations more than I could ever count with the great mother about money, it's not evil.
Alara Sage (16:45.322)
And in fact, it was not even created to do harm.
It's not even created to do harm. That was not why it was created instead like a, gun. I'm not saying guns are good or bad or anything. I'm not, but a gun was created to inflict pain.
Money was not, that was not the original reason for creating money. The original reason was creating for money was for exchange of resource, was for wealth, the experience of wealth, period. Now, humans have in our...
entrapment In the matrix and our entrapment in duality in our Belief of separation from God and thus our deep-seated shame have created immense greed and suffering Through money, but that's not where why money was created So that in and of itself already should kind of give you pause Because
Money in itself is just simply meant to exchange in the representation of resource.
Alara Sage (18:18.838)
So you have the option. Do you receive money as love or do you see receive it as a necessary evil?
Do you give money as love or do you give money as a necessary evil? I for one do not desire to be circulating the frequency of necessary evil, the frequency of greed, the frequency of it comes from Satan, the frequency of shame.
No, thank you. I do not want to circulate those frequencies. And I don't actually believe that anybody does.
They just don't understand.
wealth, circulation, creation.
Alara Sage (19:22.86)
In the essence of creation, you have a trinity, feminine, masculine, child. The feminine is the receiving, the masculine is the doing or giving, and the child is the being. This is 100 % the expression, the fundamental expression of flow. You receive flow, you are flow, you give flow, you create from flow.
Alara Sage (19:54.443)
wealth. You receive money, you give money, spend money, you hold invest money.
Love. You receive love, you are love, you give love. And everything else that we exchange. Fundamental energy. Energy. Creative life force energy. Creative life force. The literal energy of creation.
Alara Sage (20:29.3)
Energy of creation.
Alara Sage (20:35.788)
Can God and money coexist in harmony, in love, co-collaboration? Absolutely. And I actually believe through the conversation I've just laid out that money is an extraordinary tool, resource, as is wealth.
Because the one who is well resourced, we all know this, has a lot of choice, a lot of option, a lot of power. And I'm not just speaking to money, I'm speaking to wealth. The person who has the connections, who has the support, who has the love, who has the money, who has the opportunity.
who has the ability to speak and to present and bring themselves forward has a lot of choice and opportunity in physical reality.
That's just simply truth. Doesn't mean that you need to be rich to be opportunistic. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying wealthy and wealth comes through resource. Some people have created entire empires simply through networking, relationship. They didn't have any money to start off with. They started off with relationship and built their empire.
Off of that. That's resource.
Alara Sage (22:25.098)
So understanding that those who are well resourced can.
Alara Sage (22:34.09)
really serve from the highest form.
from a state of devotion.
Alara Sage (22:44.79)
We can impact the world.
You know, it hasn't been our experience. Our experience has been that those who have been well resourced have not been heart centered, embodied, serving God, oneness, source creation. They've been serving themselves. And so that's what we have.
created all of our perspectives off of, but that stops now.
Because if we want to create a new reality, if we want to create a new world, we have to break those patterns and to break those patterns of how we have our relationship to money. Can you see money? Can you see wealth as love, as aliveness, as nourishment, nurture, source energy, creative life force?
creation.
Alara Sage (23:57.513)
And what changes in your life as you do that? To me, when I moved out of experiencing money as this thing that was defining me as shameful.
Into love
All of a sudden, I held so much more gratitude.
for the money that was coming in Because it was love it felt good versus I Should be ashamed of myself For receiving this money. That doesn't feel good. That's diabolical. This is so nourishing anabolical life-giving just simply through
Change of your perspective. That's all it takes and of course, there's often more than that Because I mean I went through two solid years and I mean two solid years of every single day Dark night of the soul facing my shadows in relationship to this conversation. That's not everybody's role I had a lot of karma in this area. So I had to face that karma But I'm just saying
Alara Sage (25:23.692)
We have to get to the root like the wart, know, you can't just slice off the top of the war. You have to get down to the root of it where the shame exists in your body, in your subconscious mind and in your ancestral lineages, shame that's given to you. You don't even know you carry and that tell you that you're unworthy of God's love and therefore
You're unworthy of everything. You're unworthy of love. You're unworthy of money. And some people are able to force their way through success from a place of unworthiness, but it's like building the house on very unstable stilts.
So you can force wealth, but it's not an exhaustible wealth. It's exhaustible wealth. It's you pushing the boulder up the mountain. Don't you dare stop because the boulder will just crush you.
That's building wealth from force Instead when we Not even build wealth. We just simply recognize through unity with God Through the divine Trinity of creation The merchants back in with your soul that you are wealth that you are worth
and therefore you create it.
Alara Sage (27:09.152)
that can't be taken from you because there's nothing to take.
Doesn't matter if you get sick, it doesn't matter if your business collapses, doesn't matter if the entire infrastructure of financial systems break apart, you are wealth. And that's where...
Alara Sage (27:34.582)
God coexists with wealth because god is wealth wealth is god. They are not separate So not only do they coexist they are literally one and of the same thing
Alara Sage (27:57.261)
but we've been, humanity has been creating wealth in a state of duality and a state of force. And so it doesn't feel godly. It doesn't feel all encompassing. It doesn't feel unified. It doesn't feel inexhaustible.
It feels sketchy. It feels, again, shameful. feels...
Like you could lose it.
So the more money you have now, the more money you have to protect, the more money you have to.
fear losing.
Alara Sage (28:40.864)
And how does that drive humanity?
Alara Sage (28:52.989)
So absolutely can coexist. And like I said, it actually is the same thing. And this is deep work.
This is really deep work.
And this is what I stand for.
Alara Sage (29:12.672)
Whatever part of this conversation you can receive is delicious.
Alara Sage (29:23.104)
Because it might challenge you, might challenge your belief structures. It might challenge.
Alara Sage (29:31.904)
The part of you that
Alara Sage (29:36.022)
thinks it knows how to create wealth. That's what it did for me.
I was creating wealth.
Alara Sage (29:47.117)
So before I probably would have listened to this type of conversation and kind of shrug my shoulders and been like, yep, that's true. So what? Because I was actually would have been protecting the part of me that says, that sounds great. But I know in life that you actually have to hustle, that life is really hard. There's no rest for the wicked.
You have to push the boulder up the frickin' hill. That's what I know to be true.
And that part of me wouldn't have let me receive.
Alara Sage (30:28.374)
what this conversation really stands for.
Alara Sage (30:33.324)
So do you have a protector within you that perhaps is agreeing to what I'm saying or not even agreeing? Maybe it's just full right that's wrong, and that's okay.
But does that protector still serve you? What is your relationship with wealth? What is your relationship to God, source, creation?
Do you actually deeply believe without a smidgen of doubt that you are innately worthy of everything that you desire? Everything that you desire.
relationship, love, intimacy, communion, wealth, money, success.
Or is there a little part of you that just feels like there's a snag?
Alara Sage (31:30.388)
Not really believing it The part of you that still believes that you have to perform You have to do in order to get That worthiness and value come from action Well, sure you're worthy as long as you do And as long as that doing is at a certain level of performance then
You're worthy, but that's not innate worthiness. Innate worthiness has nothing to do with doing. It has nothing to do with receiving. Innate worthiness is being. It's the child, and it exists no matter what the experience of your humanness in this life is.
Alara Sage (32:29.876)
Is that what you feel? Is that your truth yet? Because it is your truth.
Alara Sage (32:39.506)
from there from that point of the realization that you are worthy no matter what now you are experiencing god as wealth and wealth as god beyond co-creation because it exists beyond duality you are now in unity consciousness oneness beingness existence the part of
creation that never changes never dies never is born
It simply exists.
Alara Sage (33:28.364)
And this is something I can help you with. If you are triggered here, if you hear this and you recognize where you are falling short in these beliefs, because your life doesn't lie.
Alara Sage (33:43.754)
Reality is a mirror and it is a crystal clear mirror and we can try to dawn on the costumes and we can try not to look in the mirror and we can try to pretend all we want but the mirror will always reflect what we actually believe.
Alara Sage (34:07.948)
So what is that reflection for you in the context of wealth as God?
quite the question and I'll leave you at that. I love you all very much until next time.
