Subject: Avoid the
Spiritual Martyr Trap
Refusing to capitalize on
your abilities (i.e.,
accepting money for your talents) and
sacrificing yourself for nothing in return
only generates negative consequences
and hinders your spiritual growth.
Centuries ago, religious adherents were
conditioned to believe that they should
never use their
"spiritual gifts" for personal
gain; in doing so they believed they would
be damned
to hell forever.
You're Not Alone if You've Fallen For it
Unfortunately, this fear-based, erroneous
belief is still alive today. Do you feel guilty
for accepting money as compensation for
the valuable services you provide? Are you
afraid of losing your talents if you gain
financially from them? Do you have a
subconscious fear (perhaps from past life
circumstances) that you will be persecuted
by offering your talents in exchange for
money?
By the way, our belief is that your spiritual
talents are not "gifts," as nobody gave them
to you but yourself through your own efforts
by way of many trials and tribulations in past
incarnations, and you have every right to
honorably apply them toward your earthly
gain. As long as you aren't hurting anyone
(or yourself), you are operating justly.
How to Escape From This Trap
Capitalism thrives in the free world,
thankfully. If you have talent as, for
example, an artist, consultant, supervisor,
builder, leader, writer, salesperson, or, yes,
even a psychic, you are serving yourself
and everyone else perfectly by
constructively and
efficiently offering it at
a price within the economic law of supply
and demand. What does this mean?
Simply put, it means that if you get paid at
the prices you set, they are within the law
of supply and demand. If you have more
business than you can handle, and you're
burning yourself out, your prices may not
be high enough.
Hold your head up high and repeat daily, "I
deserve fair compensation in exchange
for my valuable services (and, or products),
and I'm avoiding the martyr trap."
Don't let anyone tell you that you should offer
your spiritual talents as a healer or astrologer,
for example, for free, or that you are abusing
your "gifts." That's a nonsensical point of view.
Instead, nurture and further develop your
talents with the help of our free e-book, Direct
Your Destiny. Direct Your Destiny is packed
full of helpful tips and methodologies to help
you make the most of your life and overcome
hidden personal and spiritual blocks.
Giving of yourself and your professional
services or products with
no expectation
of anything in return, at
times, is great,
and generates positive
karma, yet this
does not mean you should
dump on
yourself with an "all for
you, nothing for
me" disposition. It's the
sort of belief held
by strict ascetics in
days of old, thinking
that constantly denying
themselves
sensual gratification and
material wealth
would bring them
closer to God. You can
take that
road if you choose, but it's
unnecessary.
Putting aside sensual gratification
temporarily
can help you reach personal
goals, but
never allowing yourself to
experience
pleasure or the good things
in life
will work against you and can
be
detrimental
to your spiritual progress.
Strict self-denial, such
as long-term
repression of sexual
desire, only
generates future
complications (e.g.,
perversion).
Successfully
avoiding the martyr
trap is
not only
healthy, but will
allow you to live
a more purposeful and
rewarding life.
