When my real estate business went under, I lost all of my profits and ended up owing thousands and thousands of dollars worth of debt that I couldn't pay back.

Shortly after, I found "The Work" and tried the process of working out "I need more money".

The main benefit that I've found is that it releases the negative energies and blocks that you hold about money. I did the work a few times on money and each time I've felt an energy shift inside of me.

When my energy shifted, new opportunities and ideas came into my life and I acted upon them.

Now, I understand how energy works and influences our lives each and every day. The work has helped me eliminate unwanted beliefs and freed me to receive the prosperity I deserve.

Your beliefs create your experience. Wash out old, limiting beliefs and you'll be at a state of neutral. The work helps you wash out old beliefs so you're free to bring in new energy

Hi, I came across this website after googling "I need more money" I came to this website and thought it was interesting, however it didn't help me out much. Right now I'm in a major financial crisis, unemployed with bills stacking sky high and of course, have to keep food on the table, which means using credit cards more than I would like to.

I just don't get the message the video is trying to deliver. I have a family - wife and three children - and this doesn't make any sense at all. If I were to lose my house and my car, we would have to live on the streets, and in Cleveland, OH where the jobs are scarce and pay very poorly, the chance of getting out of a rut are near impossible. We wouldn't be able to get to a family member's house since we are from Texas originally, we have no shelter, there are no homeless shelters left open, there would be nothing that I could do hence "I need more money, right here, right now" to keep my family safe and fed. No matter how blue the sky was or how pretty the birds, mostly pigeons in Cleveland, sing, it would be irrelevant because "I need money."

What I get from the video is that you aren't supposed to have more than you have now so be happy about it. Just doesn't click with me. I'm supposed to be happy that my family will be homeless and my wife may leave me and take the kids?

It's not that I want to be like some Americans who have so much money they can afford a new Lexus every year, paid in cash and have a summer home in Florida and a cabin in Alaska. I'm not greedy like that and if I did have that much money I wouldn't waste it on new cars and fancy things just to keep up with my neighbors, I would help those in the situation I'm in now.

While the website didn't help me find what I was looking for, it was interesting none-the-less.

I belive that what you are saying is true. I know a guy who said that if he ever made a certain amount of money he would be able to relax, but it made hime want more money so he even dove deeper into bigger investments, but in turn he lost control of his family, and ended up in a divorce, and unhappy. Money does not buy joy and the ability to be happy.

Jon - Thanks for doing this, I appreciate it and think you're opening The Work up to a number of people by transcribing sessions like this.

Transcript of 'You need more money - Is that true?'

How many of you have the belief that you need more money? Will you raise your hands.

[cut to audience]

Ok, so let's put it to the test, OK?

So, you need more money, is that true?

[Audience: 'Yes']

The whole world would agree with you, or most of it.

So you need more money, I invite you just to take a moment before you answer this - you need more money, can you absolutely know that it's true that you need more money?

Interesting question, huh?

I mean, you haven't even stepped into the future.

Can you absolutely know that you'll need more money? That you need more money.

So how do you react when you believe that thought - and we're looking at stressful thoughts - how do you react when you believe that thought and you don't HAVE more money?

Did you know that no-one has more money than they have?

[Audience laughs]

And have you stopped to realize there is not one moment that that is not true?

And no-one has more money than they have.

So you could ask yourself 'I need more money, is that true?' in ANY moment that you experience yourself in.

So how do you react when you believe the thought 'I need more money' and you don't have more money? What happens?

[Answers from audience] Stress. Fear. Frustration.

Now, what pictures and images do you seen when you think the thought 'I need more money' and you don't have it?

[Responding to the audience] Negative - I mean some of you even see yourself pushing shopping carts - as old people - and you see yourself alone.

What, do you see those images? That's what happens when you believe the thought 'I need more money' and feel it in your body.

How does it, what do you experience in your body and where do you feel that thought 'I need more money' and you don't have it?

And how much of your physical body does that take over, do those feelings take over? Follow them, track them.

Notice how you tense up, maybe your chest tightens.

So now, notice your life, like today, or notice your life PERIOD as you have lived it in the past without the thought 'I need more money' - just watch you, watch you on your job, watch you shopping, watch you at home without the thought 'I need more money'.

Because there are TWO ways to live your life. One is stressed out and the other is not - either way, you don't have more money than you have.

[Audience laughs]

'I need more money' - turn it around, what is the opposite? 'I don't need more money'.

Now why would that be true? So let's start from this moment right now, which is the only place you are EVER going to be.

You are going to be wherever you are in that moment and this is it. So right now, in this moment turn it around, 'I don't need more money' - now why is that true, right here, right now?

[Audience member responds]

Because you are living OK right here right now. Because you're OK right here right now.

[Another audience member responds]

Yeah, you've just had lunch - you're OK right here right now.

And I invite you when you're, if you're ever stressed out over money just to NOTICE

You need more money, right here right now - is that true?

Now I invite you to imagine yourself being evicted from your home and they've already driven your car away. They've taken everything from you because you couldn't pay your bills - now close your eyes and imagine yourself sitting out on the neighbors lawn looking across at what used to be your house. OK?

Now, notice where you're sitting, maybe it's on the curb, or on the pavement or the asphalt - now ask yourself, get real - 'You need more money, right now, in this moment, is it true?'

Do you need more money in that moment?

Are you OK? You're sitting where you are sitting. The sky is beautiful. You're looking at what used to be your house and you're feeling very grateful that you no longer have to pay the mortgage.

[Audience laughing]

You always wanted to get in the habit of walking and you've watched them drive your car away and you become grateful.

But seriously, who would you be without your story as you are sitting on the cement, the asphalt, on the curb - who would you be without the story 'I need more money?'

As you notice the sky and the ground that's holding you, the breeze - the flowers that you did nothing for - it's all given, it's a state of grace.

It's a state of grace.

So with or without money we have a right to be happy - that's our birthright.

If peace is dependent on arms and legs and houses and cars then there's no possibility of peace.

But in my experience peace has no conditions and it's a matter of what is true and what is not - the difference between imagination and reality.

And that's what this work is about you know - what is imagined and what is real, and what is real - in other words reality- I've come to see it is always kind, that's it's nature.

But when we superimpose our stories upon what is beautiful fear happens until we question what we believe about reality.

Pretty simple, huh?
