MONEY AS CONCRETE PRANA
GIVING AWAY OF ONE'S SURPLUS
"Wealth is not to feed our egos but to
feed the hungry and to help
people help themselves."
ANDREW CARNEGIE
1. Money as Energy
- Bailey describes money as a form of energy, analogous to prana, the life-force that permeates all things in Hindu and yogic philosophy.
- Just as prana circulates through the body to sustain life, money circulates through society to sustain human activity and progress.
- Misused, it stagnates, causing poverty, greed, and societal tension. Properly directed, it fuels education, health, culture, and spiritual growth.
MONEY AS CONCRETE PRANA
2. Money and the Law of Circulation
- Money is not meant to be hoarded; it must circulate like prana.
- Hoarding blocks energy, just as blocked prana creates illness in the body.
- Bailey repeatedly urges disciples and aspirants to redirect money toward humanitarian and planetary purposes, effectively converting it into “spiritual prana” that serves the Plan.
3. Money and Spiritual Intent
- Money reflects the consciousness of its holder.
- When held with selfishness → energy stagnates → harm to society.
- When given in service → energy flows → aids evolution.
- Money becomes a tool for manifesting spiritual will in the material world. It is not evil; its moral quality depends on the intention behind its use.
4. Practical Implications
Bailey often gives practical advice for disciples in relation to this concept:

- Redirect financial energy consciously: support charities, education, and global initiatives.
- Teach financial stewardship: help others understand money as a shared resource.
- Teach financial stewardship: help others understand money as a shared resource.
- Transform personal attitude: see money as a means, not an end, and cultivate detachment from accumulation.
- Contribute to collective welfare: the more money is aligned with service, the more it energizes the group consciousness.
5. Cosmic Significance
- Money, as prana, is part of a planetary energy system.
- Global wealth flow reflects the state of consciousness of humanity. Inequality, scarcity, or war signal blocked or misdirected energy.
- By transforming financial consciousness, humanity can direct this energy toward the Plan, supporting education, cooperation, and the spiritual evolution of nations.
In short
Money is living energy, and how it flows determines the vitality and evolution of human society. Like prana in the body, it must circulate consciously, supporting life, growth, and service rather than stagnating through greed or fear.
