Yeah, I just tried that for about half a year - nut very successfully. I blocked myself, so I was earning less and less money because I knew I was lying to myself.

But your attitude towards the money you already have is a test you can use again and again and again - to keep an eye on the changes inside you.

That's easy - I have none

And still I think this question only makes sense when my rent, food, clothes and bills are paid for.

I haven't found any hard and fast guidelines, but some questions that might help are:
Did I attract this money because I see so much abundance in the world that I couldn't help but get some? Or did I attract it to protect myself from lack?

Good point For that matter, I'm perfectly fine to earn no money for a limited time as long as I kan keep my credit cards...

OK, kidding...

If I lost all this money, would I fear poverty? Or would I love life equally either way?

As some actress (I forgot the name) once said in an interview: "I've been rich, and I've been poor. Believe me - rich is better!"

And that's something I try to live on: I can survive when I'm poor, but I will never get used to it. And I do prevent myself from lack of money by paying some insurances, so even if I attract myself out of my job (or out of my body for that matter), me and/or my loved one's basic financial needs would be provided for - at least for a limited time.

Might be scarcity mindset, but I don't see any reason that even if I self-sabotage myself out of a wrong-for-me career by attracting circumstances that make it impossible to stay there (accident, allergies, ...), I should go into debt while switching to a new career that's right for me under the new circumstances. And if I find out myself that I'm in some circumstanves that are totally wrong for me, I want to be able to get out of them immediately and have the freedom to search for better ones and try things out while still having enough money to support my family.

But I wouldn't see fear as the main motivation, although I have no better term but "financial security" for it.

If I had a choice between never being able to spend money on myself again (no matter how rich I am I still have to beg on street corners for food) and never being able to give money away again, which would I choose?

That's a hard one - I can still give my time, knowledge and wisdom to others, and even if I can't give them money, I'd still be able to show them how to attract some themselves ...or some more!

But saying that no matter how many billions I have in my bank account, I'd be fine with spending not even a single dollar to buy a dying child some medicine feels as wrong to me as not being allowed to buy that medicine for myself should I need it.

The question is - if I would have only as much money to buy the medicine for one of us, and know that the one who doesn't get it will die, I'd probably give it to the child and then pray for myself.

What would you do?

I'm glad I have this much money because (a) It gives me power to protect myself and my loved ones (b) It gives me the ability to assist others without worrying about my needs.

as you write "protect" instead of "provide for the needs of", I'd suggest that you answer the question "am I safe" with no - or that you are no vibrational match for a "yes" right now.

I have to agree. I have problems with lightworker syndrome myself, so I recognize the symptoms.

Maybe we can "cure" each other?
