Metaphysics (Revealing Word)
money—a medium of exchange and a measurement of value. The materialization of spiritual substance. The symbol of the idea of prosperity. Money is a symbol that represents values in goods, land, or service. Substance in the form of money is given to us for constructive uses. The money idea is good and draws to us good when we are functioning in divine order. Love of money is the root of much evil. Man should love the source of all money, God.
prosperity—the consciousness of God as the abundant, everywhere present resource, unfailing, ready for all who open themselves to it through faith…Prosperity is based on the conscious possession of the idea of God's abundance back of all things. Things come and go, but the idea of abundance endures…The difference between spiritual prosperity and material prosperity is that spiritual prosperity is founded on understanding of the inexhaustible, omnipresent substance of Spirit as the source of supply; the material belief is that the possession of things constitutes prosperity…Giving in the right mental attitude creates prosperity. Giving with the fear of lack leads to poverty.
Prosperity According to Myrtle Fillmore
"You are not to take your prosperity as a matter of fact. You are to be as deeply grateful for every demonstration as you would be for some unexpected treasure poured into your lap. You are to expect prosperity because you are keeping the law, and you are to give thanks for every blessing that you gain. This will keep your heart fresh."
