Now, Maria has a list of credentials as long as your arm that makes it abundantly clear that she knows what she's talking and writing about. But when she stands up to speak, the REAL proof shines through. You cannot be long in her presence without recognizing that here is one smart, funny, articulate, and wonderfully caring person who has "been there, done that," and knows how to get right to the heart of our confusion and denial about the place and power of money in our lives.

Better yet, she knows how to help us see for ourselves what needs doing and shows — not just tells — us how to go about it. So today I'm pleased to get to share with you (in a longer than usual edition) just a tiny bit of Maria's practical wisdom. And then I'll tell you about that $2,142 and point you toward more great stuff from Maria!

Now, you may be wondering about that title, The Energy of Money. But if you'll stop to think about it, you'll see that it fits right in with our understanding of what Mr. Wattles writes -- that everything is created from the one "formless substance." There are other kinds of energy, of course — like creativity, spiritual power, physical vitality, enjoyment, relationship, and others. And, as Maria puts it, in each of these areas we can either be frustrated or fulfilled. So the question becomes: How can we be "conscious conduits of energy" in order to bring our dreams out of the formless realm of ideas and into physical reality? See if Maria's illustration helps you as much as it does me.

First, what do we mean by "conduit?" Well, a conduit is something that allows energy to move in an orderly way from one place to another. For example, a water pipe moves water from the well or reservoir to your faucets. So, in your mind's eye, picture a body of water on the left side, and the water tap in, say, your kitchen on the right.

Now connect the two with a pipeline. Now the pipe can move the energy of water in an orderly way from the source to the outlet. And that's what WE want to do with the energy of money: Move it in an orderly way from the Source, which we know is unlimited, to the place where it can "water the garden of our goals and dreams."
