Communication as a Key to Resolving Greed
[Excerpt from Energy Report: October 2015]
Greed is the fear of lack, of not having enough, of limited resources and access. Greed tends to fixate upon that which is feared to be lacking. For our older soul students, Greed has shown up over 2015 in more subtle ways that reflect lack of emotional fulfillment, lack of fulfillment of ideals, lack of acceptance, growth, love, intimacy, etc. Our students have probably had to look at where they are falling short, where they have lived with presumptions and assumptions, have had to look at any sense of entitlements, laziness, expectations, and irresponsibility. These qualities may have been reflected back to you in so many words from others, or from poor results, or from failed expectations, or during inconveniences and impositions that disrupted your assumptions and presumptions that “things should just work out,” but they are likely not as glaring and as obvious as the more material and tangible fears of lack that the world may be reflecting. The younger souls in the world are working out their fears around the lack of tangible resources, territories, access, and goods. All of these are related, of course.

For those who have more obvious struggles with Greed, the solution is COMMUNICATION. In most cases of Greed, “communication” is presumed to be one-sided, and that this is expressed as demand or need. It is valid and real that there is often scarcity in resources, both in terms of the tangible and intangible. Sometimes your loved one simply cannot provide the emotional assurances you require or demand. Sometimes your land will not produce the foods necessary for comfortable survival. Scarcity is a part of the landscape of incarnation and physical lives, so it is a natural occurrence that must be navigated. It is not easy, but it can be navigated. When the fear of this scarcity is in effect, then the capacity for communication diminishes. By “communication” we refer to a bi-directional circuitry that is upheld so that one not only expresses one’s desires and needs, but one knows if and when and how these can be received from the sources that are accessible. If these needs are intangible, you must not only express your need and want for what it is you seek, but you must pay attention and listen and forgive when the source is not capable of providing that which you seek. If these needs are tangible, then communication is just as important, even if the source is the land for crops. You must “listen” to the land and what it needs as a means for it to help provide what you need and if it cannot, you must move on. The same is true of people. If you only demand in panic and fear, you may simply push away or diminish or strip your resources so that they cannot provide, even if they could have at one time.
Let us be clear that we are not speaking here in terms of desperation in survival and the cry for help. We are speaking in terms of when one has the capacity to choose, and the choice is for Greed.
