Financial wayshowing is a pathway to God. It’s a form of karma yoga, seva, or service and karma yoga itself is a path to enlightenment.
Hinduism has best described it. Krishna says:
“If you can understand and follow [the method of the yoga of action], you will be able to break the chains of desire which bind you to your actions. In this yoga, even the abortive attempt is not wasted. Nor can it produce a contrary result.
“Even a little practice of this yoga will save you from the terrible wheel of rebirth and death. In this yoga, the will is directed singly toward one ideal. When a man lacks this discrimination, his will wanders in all directions, after innumerable aims.” (1)
The path of service, of assistance, of charitable giving leaves the giver grateful, peaceful and complete. Their acts fall from them at the last and they’re left in peace.
“Let him who would climb
In meditation
To heights of the highest
Union with Brahman
Take for his path
The yoga of action [i.e., karma yoga]:
Then when he nears
That height of oneness
His acts will fall from him,
His path will be tranquil.” (2)

Those who follow the path of service will meet those who follow the path of knowledge in enlightenment, he tells us.
“The wise see knowledge and action as one: They see truly. Take either path And tread it to the end: The end is the same. There the followers of action Meet the seekers after knowledge In equal freedom.” (3)
The Buddha tells us that service or helping others is the essence of wisdom: “Hear the essence of thousands of sacred books: to help others is virtue: to hurt others is sin.” (4)
And finally the Bible is explicit on the value of helping others, which lies at the heart of the path of service:
“The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.” (5)
“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” (6)
Archangel Michael has said that those financial wayshowers who use their money wisely to help the poor and right the economic imbalance will receive more money to distribute:
Steve Beckow: Bumper cars are going to be coming with more wealth when we’ve used up this money, is that correct?
Archangel Michael: That is correct. (7)
AAM: There will be other sources of funding. (8)
AAM: There is a great deal of wealth, not only upon your planet but off planet. (9)
Therefore, you won’t miss out on the enlightenment of the lightholders and loveholders by following the path of karma yoga, the yoga of action or service. Meanwhile, the Company of Heaven needs workers. The harvest is rich but the harvesters are few.
