The onomicsEc of SPirituality

Awise friend of mine recently shared a mantra with me she uses to remain conscious of her creative process. It is this: “ORDER IT UP!” What order it up means is that every second of every day, your thoughts, words, and actions dictate what you are “ordering” from the universe. Think of it like ordering from a menu of experiences. Whether we are conscious of it or not, we are always ordering from a menu from the universe.

What is so profound about this simple phrase is twofold. One, it is true. We are always ordering/creating our lives. 24/7. Two, it is cute and fun to think about “ordering” what we want. We actively participate in intentional creation with a spirit of play. Most often, when I am coaching people who are stuck, especially with money, they have lost the ability to be playful with energy in their life. We forget to make a game out of it. This is why I wrote an entire book about playing the “energy game.” I coined the phrase. We are too serious about life. We allow our emotions and external reality to make us feel heavy about life. We forget to approach abundance and our challenges with levity. This simple phrase “order it up” reminds us to make a game of the creative process. Suddenly the truth is very accessible.

Economic turmoil is not a problem in our lives. Economic turmoil is a symptom of spiritual bankruptcy. When we have money prob- lems, we have lost our way in how we prioritize our lives and where we invest our energy. Everything is energy. People are energy. Money is energy. Everything in our home is energy. We are working with energy. We continually fall asleep to this truth.

The New York Times best-selling author and prosperity guru Suze Orman illustrated this point best about priorities and their relationship to wealth. She has a vibrational awareness of the creative process. She said we must prioritize our energy in this manner: “People first, Money second, and Things third.”

The areas where we place value and attention will garner the most energy. We create momentum in the places we give our attention. If we are out of order with the vibrational correctness of the highest flows of energy, we can find ourselves in a negative flow scratching our heads and wondering how we got ourselves into the negative situation we are in.

The complexities of our lives can often deter us from making sound choices. We don’t do it on purpose. We get lost in our emotions and our challenges. If we can remember the sequence of the highest vibrations, we can prioritize more abundantly and effectively. At any given moment, to the best of our ability, we need to balance the formula in our hearts and minds to make the correct use of energy -- people first, money second, things third.

In terms of the energy of prosperity or money, the universe is indiscriminate about who receives prosperity. Whoever can play the energy game effectively gets prosperity. You don’t have to be a good person, a generous person, or a caring person. You only need to understand the impact and the quality of the energy you are using and prioritize your energy appropriately in every situation where an energetic choice needs to be made. Granted, embracing other high vibrations does not hurt. Absent correct prioritization of energy, you will remain broke.

Once you learn to be intentional with your energy when decisions are required, you will have abundance.

Energy is always true to itself. To create money, there are two non-negotiable qualities every person must possess.

You must care about money. You must care about yourself. You must treat both with respect and appreciation. Those two pieces are non-negotiable energetically. Financial guru Suze Orman said, “Treat money like a cherished friend.” She meant it. She understood the value of that vibration. Four-time billionaire Kevin O’Leary said he treats his money like soldiers he sends out into the world to represent him and do his battles. He takes care of his troops, honors them, respects them, and is very thoughtful about how he sends them into the world. He protects them as he knows they are doing his bidding in the world.

We often take ourselves and our money for granted. We do not cherish our lives or the money that blesses us. We become focused on what we don’t have and make a lot of excuses for not caring for ourselves well. We become careless, thinking there will always be more time to live on earth and always more money that will come to us. We live with a “must have more” mentality. Do your inner energetic math regularly. Practice “ordering it up” in your life to remain conscious and to prioritize how you spend your energy. Also, to have fun with your life. Look at solving your challenges as a game. A puzzle. The vibration you bring to your “solving” mind will be much more abundant in nature. Whether we practice ordering it up or not, we are always ordering up our life. Examine your creations and the experiences you have in your life today. They will tell the story of your intentions and how you prioritize.

Finally, the truest form of prosperity is not a number, a quantity, or an accumulation of something. It is the ability to attract what you need and what you want when you need it and want it. That is power. That demonstrates an understanding of energy. Too often, culture tells us we need more than enough. It is not true. We can only spend so much in one day. Today is the only day we have. Continue to adjust your view of what truth is. Live inside of it. The biggest clue we have to unlock the truth is that everything is energy. Remember that you will never be in lack again.
