The Energy of Money

Reflection on the System, the Self, and the Shift We Need

A couple weeks ago, I shared a story on Instagram that said I wasn’t a businesswoman—I was a woman of the Earth. I had just submerged myself in nature, and that post came from a very honest place.

I’ve been in a very long transition—shifting into a new way of earning my keep. I took the leap to go all-in on this project, but it’s taking me a minute to make it fully public… to let it truly engulf my life.

I’m trying to build something that sustains me financially and helps as many people as possible. And I’ll admit—right now, I’m struggling. Not because I don’t have the vision, but because I’ve been too shy to fully put myself out there.

I’m in a paradox.

And at the same time, I am the paradox.

I believe I have the ideas to serve others, to create something meaningful, to build a life of abundance that allows me to pay off my debts while supporting others…And yet, I struggle to believe I’m the kind of person who can actually accomplish this.

That’s where the hesitation creeps in.

The procrastination.

The fear of pulling the trigger because I don’t trust myself to succeed.

But then—there are moments.

Moments when I remember who I am.

Moments when I feel deeply tuned in to my body, to the Earth, to the Universe.

And those moments bring me back to myself. They remind me why I started. They remind me to keep going. They fill my cup up again with love and inspiration.

I want to make something clear: I don’t believe money is the root of all evil, and I don’t believe money makes a person evil. Money itself doesn’t make people bad—it reveals who they already are. The instagram post that this has been inspired by stated in the comments that even though we are more of the earth, we live in this society, and it's up to us to figure out how to move through this society in order to help as many people as possible, while sustaining our needs.

What’s truly evil isn’t money itself—it’s the system we’ve built around it.

A system where a small few profit off of the suffering and hard labour of many.

Where we push our bodies in unnatural ways just to earn a living, chasing material things that often do more harm than good.

Where a handful have access to more than most people combined, while others are literally starving each and every day.

Where we absolutely have enough resources to support all life on earth, and yet, still allow so many living beings to suffer due to our lifestyles.

Where those who build and detonate bombs earn more than those who spend their lives healing others.

This system thrives on the pursuit of wealth for wealth’s sake.

And at the root of it all is greed—a greed born from a scarcity mindset.

The belief that there’s not enough to go around, so we must hoard, exploit, and compete… instead of share, collaborate, and grow abundantly together.

You can have all the money in the world and still be operating from lack. That’s when money becomes a tool of control, not empowerment. The rest of this blog will discuss the Energy of Money through the lens of Opulence Vision.

Here's something you can play in the background as you read the rest of this post - it's completely random and doesn't really relate to today's post, but I was listening to it the other day and wanted to share it with someone.

Recognizing the Matrix We Live In

I started writing about this take on money in my book, Creating Opulence, but I think it’s important to talk about now. I’ve mentioned “The Matrix” many times across many posts on this site, and I truly believe we are living in our own version of it.

Our Matrix is the society we’ve been indoctrinated into—a capitalist and extractive system that teaches us we must “work” to earn money just to pay for our existence.

There’s little guidance on discovering our unique contribution to society—on doing meaningful work that makes the world better. Instead, the focus is on chasing income, often to build lifestyles rooted in even more consumption and disconnection.

You know it’s a broken system when some of the most harmful people in the world are also the most financially abundant—getting rich by exploiting others (or themselves), then investing that wealth into even more toxic habits and systems.

Every human need—food, water, shelter—has been packaged into a product. And as modern capitalism evolved, human creativity became more and more tied to the pursuit of profit.

Many of the products we consume today, especially those from massive corporations, are built for maximum gain—not human or even planetary well-being. And that profit often comes at a cost: our health, the health of others, or the health of the planet.

Most people grow up in systems that prioritize productivity, compliance, and profit over purpose, authenticity, and collective well-being. From school to the workforce, we’re rarely asked:

🌀 What lights you up?

🌀 What’s your gift to the world?

🌀 What kind of impact do you want to make?

Instead, the messaging is:

“Pick a stable career. Make money. Buy things. Repeat.”

And this is what constitutes success in our society, regardless of the lasting impacts that our lifestyles are imprinting into the future we're leaving the children.

We are bombarded daily with advertisements that reinforce the Matrix—from the food we eat to the clothes we wear, from beauty products to television shows, from entertainment to sporting events.

It’s all part of a system designed to distract and pacify—a modern-day “bread and circuses” strategy that masks our true power as a species and numbs us to the reality that we are the creators of this world.

Food, for example, is rarely taught to us as nourishment. Instead, it’s presented as a way to satisfy artificial cravings. Most of what we eat today isn’t food—it’s product. Stripped from its original form, processed, modified, and repackaged—not to nourish, but to last longer on a shelf, to be highly palatable, and to maximize profit.

We're taught that fashion is important in keeping up with our social status - fast fashion has taken over the masses, and not enough people are thinking about how these pieces were created, let alone the negative environmental impacts it has through its creation and also its discarding, as they are created to only last a season.

This Matrix we live in has convinced us that our value lies in toxic accolades. That joy and fun must come at the cost of our health—and the health of the planet. It has severed our connection to the Earth, which is arguably the most important relationship we can have as human beings. And without that relationship, we forget who we are—and what we’re truly here to do.

All of this ties back to money—how we make it, what we spend it on, and what it’s costing us beneath the surface. In the Matrix, money isn’t just a tool—it’s the bait. It keeps us running in cycles that disconnect us from ourselves, each other, and the Earth.

What was meant to be a counter of energy—a way to measure how much our effort is worth so we can exchange it for what we need—has instead become a reflection of our collective value system.

It no longer just represents energy; it reveals what we prioritize, what we glorify, and what we’re willing to sacrifice.

The Legacy We Leave Behind

Each person born of this Earth leaves a legacy behind based on their overall contribution to this world - from what they choose to do for a living, the relationships they nuture, their creations of love, and how they shape their lives through each decision.

In yesterday’s post, we touched on the tension between modern feminism and traditional values—particularly the moment in the Jubilee video where many feminists misunderstood Candace Owens' point.

Contrary to what was implied, she wasn’t saying that women shouldn’t work—she was asking an honest question: Are the jobs most women are working actually fulfilling them?

In a system where most people—regardless of gender—work just to survive, to pay bills and maintain lifestyles that are often shaped by societal expectations rather than inner purpose… we have to ask: What are we sacrificing in the process?

For many women, especially mothers, this often means leaving their children in someone else’s care for most of the day, just to make ends meet. And what’s more—many of these jobs don’t even feel meaningful. They don’t light us up. They don’t connect us to our community or the Earth, let alone live the purpose we were meant to fulfill.

So what if Candace was simply suggesting that, at the end of the day, for many women, raising children could actually feel more fulfilling than climbing the corporate ladder—especially when that ladder is leaned against the wrong wall? A wall that's not even contributing positivlely to this world?

That’s not to say every woman wants children—or that motherhood is the only path to purpose. But for those who do feel that calling, it’s worth asking: have we created a society where they can fully embrace it without shame, burnout, or financial strain? In today’s culture, choosing to stay home and raise a child can be seen as “giving up” on ambition, when in reality, it could be one of the most meaningful, world-shaping contributions a person can make.

While some women long for the deep purpose that comes from raising a child, others are navigating a completely different terrain—one where feminine energy itself has become a commodity.

Sex work has existed since the beginning of civilization. It’s been called the “oldest profession” for a reason—because humans have always craved connection, pleasure, intimacy, and the sacred exchange of desire. Yet despite this deep craving, most of us have never been taught how to fully express our sexuality or cultivate a truly healthy relationship with it.

Historically, women haven’t been taught how to fully embrace their sexuality, while many men have been conditioned to crave the touch of a woman without understanding the depth of the energy exchange that takes place. And so, over the years, sex work has come to be seen as both a way to fulfill a need for men, and a way for women to earn an income—especially in a world where feminine energy is often more valued as a commodity than as a sacred force.

I’m not here to shame sex work; I understand why it exists and why it's so popular.

But what we’re witnessing now is a cultural shift: sex work is no longer happening in the shadows—it’s being glorified. Platforms like OnlyFans have turned it into a multi-million-dollar industry where women can profit privately, sometimes earning more than doctors or teachers. This is often held up as a symbol of female empowerment: women taking control of their bodies, their image, and their income.

But here’s the question I’m sitting with: At what cost?

When intimacy becomes content, and the sacred is flattened into something transactional, we start losing touch with the deeper power sex can hold. We've outsourced intimacy. We've gamified desire. And in doing so, we risk forgetting the magic that happens when connection is real—when it’s not monetized, filtered, or consumed through a screen.

With the rise and glorification of platforms like OnlyFans, women’s worth is increasingly being tied to their sexuality and appearance. Sexual expression has become more about performance than connection—conditioning both women and men to experience sex as something shallow and transactional, rather than sacred and intimate.

The more money is exchanged for this kind of performative dynamic, the more the world normalizes it—and eventually, that normalization begins to shape our collective psyche. It influences the way women see themselves, often placing their value in how desirable they appear. It also impacts men, who may begin to confuse attention or visual stimulation for real intimacy and connection.

This isn’t about shaming women—or men—or even sex work itself. It’s about asking what kind of world we’re building when our most powerful energies are reduced to transactions.

When money drives our sense of worth, when sexuality becomes performance, and when connection becomes a commodity—we lose touch with the soul of who we are.

This is why I can’t walk away from this project. Because I truly believe the solution lies in helping people return to themselves—to their purpose, their gifts, and the unique contributions they’re here to make. Opulence Vision is my way of offering a guide—a compass for those seeking to live with intention, creativity, and soul.

I believe that if we were supported from an earlier age to understand our emotions, develop our skills, and explore who we really are—not just academically, but soulfully—we would be building a much more aligned society. One where work isn’t just for survival, but for service. One where our energy, our sexuality, our creativity, and our money are all guided by intention, not exploitation.

I go deeper into this in my book Creating Opulence—exploring not just how we make and spend money, but how each choice we make shapes the world around us. It’s a guide to becoming more conscious creators of our lives, and ultimately, of the future we’re all part of building.

There’s so much more to say when it comes to the energy of money—especially how we spend it and what that says about the future we’re voting for with every dollar. But I’ll save that for another day.

If this post resonated with you, I go much deeper into these ideas in my book Creating Opulence—a guide to understanding the hidden energies shaping our world, and how we can begin to consciously create lives that are in harmony with our truth, our values, and the Earth.

Thank you for walking with me through these reflections. The world is shifting, and we all have a role to play. The questions to think about are: what kind of world are we spending our energy to build? How can we shift the energy of money so that everyone can prosper on this planet? So that we can help preserve the planet and all the beauty that She has to offer us?

Till next time, dear Warrior! One Love!
