In Hell or High Water, two bank robbers rob the bank that is foreclosing their property. You cannot help feeling sympathetic for the Robin Hoods but one brother loses it and a number of people end up dead. Still, Chris Pine ends up getting his property back and goes free; the retired Texas Ranger Jeff Bridges visits him, asking why he did it. Without admitting to the crime, Chris Pine responds:
“I have been poor my whole life. So we’re my parents, their parents before them. It’s like a disease passing from generation to generation. It becomes a sickness. That’s what it is. Infects every person you know, but not my boys.”
Good try Robin Hood. The problem is the blood of the murders sticks on the money. Your children will face other interferences. They too have some work ahead. That’s no way to break free. We have to observe the Law of Oneness.
Spirituality says there is no ‘you’, there is no story of poverty, inter-generational curses, etc. Well, it depends, doesn’t it? Some of us have a little work to do. A feeling of scarcity that just doesn’t align with the notion that we shall be as gods. And we have to face that homework, whether we succeed at it or not.
Health, financial well-being, finding the right partner or the job we love doing. I am a fan of the Chinese proverb, ‘those who say it cannot be done should not interfere with those doing it.’ Yet, we have to follow the golden rule, ‘do unto those as you would have them do to you.’
Each and everyone of us has a mission. Find it, do it and get lost in it!
