What Everybody Ought To Know About Their Money Projections
February 13, 2008
We take money so seriously. Many of us have deep emotional wounds around money that lead us back to our childhood. You may want to explore your first memories around money, before you continue. Get clear on the pain that you are living today. What are your first memories around money? What did you learn about money when you were young? What are the beliefs that you developed as a child? How do those beliefs manifest in your life today? Explore your past, identify your projections, and consciously choose to stop projecting onto your money.
Now, I will tell you the truth:
In reality, no-one wants money! Yes, you heard me. Nobody! Not even you! You might think you want money, but you don’t. You might be thinking, “Yes, I do! I want money! Who does she think she is? She doesn’t know me!” Right…
You do not want money!
Look for your projections and limiting thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes around money. Think…. If you had money (or more money–because a lot of people have money, they just think they want more money), how would you feel? What would you be able to do? What can money give you? Write down everything you think money can give you. Security. Fun. Safety. Peace of mind. Stability. Less stress. Keep going… How will money make you feel? Will you have better relationships? Will you have more confidence? Will you have prestige?
Do you see the projection? You don’t want money, you want what money can do for you. You want the feeling you imagine money will provide.
Byron Katie has illuminated this concept for me and taken me deeper in my relationship with money. Ask yourself, “Is that true?” Explore. Raise your consciousness. Watch this video and then ask yourself these questions:
- How am I projecting onto my money?
- What would need to shift for me to claim my power around money?
- What belief, thought, or behavior would I need to give up to change my relationship with money?
- What new belief, thought, or behavior could I replace it with?
- What would I need to know in order to let go of my projections onto my money?
- What is true?
What is up for you? Any shifts in consciousness? Please share: How is your relationship with money changing?

I think it is important to understand that money is a fiction.
Unfortunately our societies have bought this fiction - leading to poverty and the abuse of our planet.
At the moment I am thinking about, “Why shouldn’t I be a millionaire” - many who are don’t produce stuff any better than mine”. My major childhood message around money was that, “We never win anything, we aren’t lucky”. This did leave open the option of earning and saving to a good level of comfort.
The main change in my relation to money in my adult life has been seeing the need to pay attention to it - I’d rather just get on with doing what I love.

I understand how money is not a contributor to morals and values, but it is necessary to provide for basic necessities and do many things. The cost of living in our modern society is a tool we need. To raise children, enjoy entertainment, to take a vacation, to participate in programs such as sports, music, and higher education are only a few things that can really build an individual.
What I find fascinating about Entrepreneurial books and the path to success, is that people who act and believe in themselves are paid back. Money, itself is not evil. It’s a great tool to do great things in society. It’s the power and greed of people that slants the perception of money.
You are so right, Michelle.
Money is just the medium of exchange and not the end result.
It’s the end result that we are hungry for.

Thank you so much for this conversation….
It is what we put on money that creates the disconnect…. And I would question if we need money at all….we need food and water and shelter…we do not need money! And how can you know for sure that if you had no money that your basic needs would not be provided for? What if you were on a desert island? That is a belief I would like to challenge. Could you give a bear a $100 to build you a home? or not eat you? And so, what are you hungry for? What desires do you imagine that money will give you? What are the end results that you are looking for?
As much inner work as I’ve done around money, I’m amazed at how my projections still show. Thanks CK for a great thought provoking post.
Ha! Not so fast… What are your projections? What is the pain around your projections and how do they limit you?
[…] money control you? Do you control your money? Are you in partnership with your money? What kind of money relationship do you […]
Hi CK,
I’m sure we wouldn’t need money if our society was ordered in a humane way.
As to those who are sure we don’t. To convince me all they need to do is give it up and see what happens. I am open to the results of their experiment. I am open to being the person that they give all their money too (I can send them my address for the check).
I’m still working on the tie up between money and childhood love. I read a remark on another blog that our relationship to money is the same as the relationship we had with parental love as children. This really struck me - I am exploring this thought at the moment.

I love Byron Katie, I had a good time laughing while watching that video. I know on some level that when I let go of my story about money, I always have what I need (and even what I want). Viva la adventure.

Hi CK,
In my opinion, sometimes we do need the money as a bridge to get the end result that we desire.
We need money to pay the land tax, road tax … etc.
Try not to pay the tax for the land you own and see who own the land in the end. We can’t pay the tax with chickens or eggs, can we?
Besides, it gives us convenience. I do not need to know how to cook delicious food in order to taste it if I have the money to have somebody else do that for me.
The same goes for clothes, water … etc.

CK, My projects on money: I need money to have fun in life. I need money to live luxuriously. I need money so that I can be happy.
NOT
but sometimes I think that.
I assert that the need for money is our programming. What filters are you looking through when you think you need to educate your children? What filter are you looking through when you continue to work in a dead-end job year after year complaining about that job, but not taking any serious steps to change your circumstances? What programming are you looking through when you think you need money to pay someone to cook for you? What filter are we looking for when we think we own the land? A Native American filter on land ownership would give us very different information. I am asking you to look and questions your filters–without judgment… Who says we aren’t a humane society? What filter would we have to look through and who would we have to be to believe that peace on earth is now? Who would you have to be to let go of all attachment to your past money beliefs? (and the present manifestation of those beliefs?)
