Do you have to provide value to make money without being criminal about it, without 'draining' the economy or generally hurting someone else though?
Meaning, are you saying that the only way to make money morally and legally is to provide value?

Since abundance-orientation is an aspect of fulfillment, I would say that one will never be fulfilled in one's career without being aligned with one's inner truth. If that alignment is present, it cannot help but manifest, which (objectively speaking) shows up as the sharing of value with others.

So a man stranded on an island for the rest of his life who doesn't have anyone else to share value with can never be fulfilled?
What about a Tibetian monk who goes into solitude and meditates for the well-being of the world for 20 years without technically providing any "value" in the physical world?

If I am fully aligned with my truest, deepest self, I can't help but express it because truth is itself creative.

Your truest self is directing you to creatively express yourself and provide value. THis alignment brings you fulfillment and abundance (monetary and otherwise).
What about the individual who aligns with his truest self and that self is directing him or her to NOT provide value to "others", but to take care of himself/herself in this moment in time. Is that individual doomed not to experience the ability to make money until his truest self directs him/her to provide value to others?
Said another way, how do you know just because your "path" here on earth is to provide tonnes of value to tonnes of people, that this is the path of everyone? What if their path is NOT to provide value to others at this time? Are they doomed to monetary scarcity?
