Money as a representation of appreciation.

Hi again, I hope everything is well with every one reading this.
Before I get into the discussion of the basics of internet income (as I understand them) I want to spend a bit of time acknowledging some basic principles of the laws of universal attraction. Consider this: money is energy. The value of money rests entirely on the fact that people agree that it has value. There is nothing inherent in the money itself that we prize, it is the energy that the money represents. Money is a force, created by universal agreement, that is propelled by our energetic investment of thought and intention. Now consider what that energy looks like, what it sounds like and feels like. Money does not have the same energy as a greedy person or a rich person. It has an altogether different energy when we consider its essence. In its essence it is the energy of appreciation. We use money to show our appreciation for products, services and sometimes people themselves. It is the appreciation of a product (or the perceived value of a product, which might possibly lead to appreciation) or service that compels us to pay money for it. Now consider how this can be so. Tell me how there can be a spending of money without a display of some sort of appreciation.
To put all this in perspective and to give you something to consider further, think about the fact that we all control our sense of appreciation. We can literally force ourselves to give or withhold appreciation at will. We can distribute appreciation as easily as we could distribute a thousand dollars. The only difference is that appreciation is limitless. We can literally give away millions of dollars worth of appreciation without ever spending a dime. Consider what would happen if you actually did this. How would people around you react if you were dolling out to them appreciation that's worth a thousand dollars? Would they reciprocate? How do you think they would reciprocate if they decided to? Do you think most people would pay actual money to feel genuinely appreciated? How often do you think the average person gets the chance to feel genuine appreciation? Would it be worth the investment on your part?

These ideas are not entirely my own. They mostly come from the Abundance for Life course from Paul Scheele at Learning Strategies. Don't think that I'm trying to sell you something, I get no commission from any of they're products (don't get me wrong I'd like to, but my affiliate account isn't up yet;). So don't be shy, don't feel like can't trust what I'm saying, or that there must be some catch or whatever. Just consider these ideas.
