To me, it sounds like your need for money is coming from fear. Do you think that may be the case? Are you sure you need more money to "give back to the universe"? What would the universe do with more money? :-)

If you currently aren't able to take care of your own needs (food, water, shelter, etc.) that should be your priority right now. You will be helping the universe most by taking good care of yourself (lovingly).

As far as I can see, and from what I understand Steve believes, your best bet would be to take your skills, talents, and passions and apply them to some project/job/career/mission from which others are likely to benefit. If you do this effectively, you'll end up helping the world and the world will end up helping you take care of yourself. The work you do doesn't have to be anything extravagant, it just needs to be something you can do that feels healthy and rewarding to you. It also doesn't need to be long term, you can try doing temp work, or taking on contract work, or create a business for yourself either full time, or part time. As long as you are offering the world something that it can use, the world will offer you things that you can use, in return. Maybe you'll get money, or maybe you'll get housing, or food, or companionship, or education! As long as you are open to getting all of it (and not just the money), you'll find that the universe has a heck of a lot to offer you!

Peace, Love, and Bicycles,
Turtle
