And here is an excerpt from a 2008 Matthew message in which he talks about the situation of economic inequality that exists today. I think his message here is more relevant to today’s economic scene than it may have been in 2008.
Matthew’s Messages, Oct, 22, 2008, at https://www.matthewbooks.com
We have been asked how people around the world will weather the effects of what finally is called what it is, an international economic crisis, and we can only say that this is like in any other situation on the planet: The universal law of attraction, or “like attracts like,” which is totally neutral and constantly in operation, will serve each individual in accordance with his or her perception of and reaction to personal situations.
The energy sent forth by those who see themselves as tragic victims will zoom out and draw to itself the energy of thought forms in the “universal soup” that match the individual’s thoughts and feelings, and the energy combination will manifest “tragic victim” circumstances for the person to deal with. Those who feel genuine gratitude for what they have will be provided with more to be grateful for, and the energy of sharing with an open heart has the same positive result.
But always the foundation of weathering any distressing situation is staying out of fear about it! The magnified energy of fear assures that the law of attraction will bring fear-filled circumstances to the fearful person.
Knowing that out of the current turmoil will come abundance for all will keep your spirits high and your resolve strong if your outlook remains positive and you don’t allow the negativity of fear to intrude. Not only does fear beget more of itself, but it is contagious – we urge you not to let that negativity enter your energy stream and radiate out to afflict those who are nearest and dearest to you!
Every one of Earth’s humankind has had a lifetime, more likely many lifetimes, of struggling to get food enough to keep from starving to death. Within that cellular memory is the instinct that gives strength of spirit and determination to survive; in this case, it is making it through the temporary economic tumult and thriving in the abundance at the end of the tunnel.
It is true, though, that millions in impoverished countries will not survive until tyranny and greed end and abundance arrives. As sensitive, caring and compassionate beings, you abhor the conditions that cause suffering and so many deaths, and your efforts to end that kind of tragic existence is godliness in action.
It is sad for us to see that kind of suffering too, even though we understand what most peoples do not: Those souls in abject misery did not embody to have a long, happy and healthy life – they came to complete the karma they need to move out of third density, and by so doing, they are successfully accomplishing their life’s purpose. We understand as well that this is known to them only at soul level, and that is why we weep with them about their living and dying circumstances.
Even for ones who know about multiple lifetimes, who know that those lived in health and splendor are balanced by others in terror, disease and dire deprivation, it is difficult to comprehend that such a cruel “fate” must befall anyone.
At soul level it is known that lifetimes are experienced simultaneously in the continuum, where there is no linear time; but only in higher states of consciousness is it possible to comprehend that in the very same moment the soul who is suffering in one lifetime is exalting in the beauty and joyousness of another.
