Analyzing Financial Energies, Torrance vs Pensacola

Beach This Morning - Perdido Key

Since I am transitioning from a life in Southern California, where I've grown up my whole life, to my home in Pensacola, FL, it's a good time to examine the energies and note some of the differences, particularly related to the flow of money.

It's not easy to notice the energies of an environment when one is immersed in it. That's why periods of transition are useful, they help us to see things from an objective perspective.

For example, Torrance and Southern California in general are objectively "well off" financially compared to most parts of the country, at least in terms of given standards - higher standard of living, larger economic output, more material wealth.

But these things don't tell us the energetic environment, they only tell us some of the story.  When you look underneath, you see this wealth is actually not set on a good energetic foundation at all.  Southern California has heavy karmic and soul contracts that serve as a form of energetic "debt" that carries a very high interest rate.  That's why it seems everyone (and myself included when I was plugged into this grid) is "running just to stay in place."

Southern California has a high leakage - people make a lot of money.  They also waste a lot of money, lose a lot of money and get burdened with extremely high "sunk costs" that make it impossible for even the wealthiest to simply relax and enjoy their blessings.  The image of the relaxed Southern Californian at the beach just enjoying the sunshine and good life is just that, an image.  I go to all these beaches on a regular basis and have for years.  You'll see kids relaxing and enjoying life, but the adults are either never there or completely distracted and overwhelmed.

There is no sense of peace and satiety in Southern California.  It is never "enough" and everyone is teetering on the precipice of financial ruin, no matter how much money they have. In fact, the wealthier people are more at risk, those with less are more "comfortable," except those people literally cannot afford to live there anymore.

"Keeping up with the Joneses" is so endemic I didn't even notice that's the water everyone is swimming in until I started visiting places like Thailand and Pensacola, FL where most people are happy with what they have, which is a fraction of the wealth Californians have. They don't envy their neighbors nearly to the extend they do in Los Angeles or Orange County.  The wealthy lifestyle propped up by crushing debt (real debt, not spiritual debt) that is extremely common in Southern California doesn't really exist in Pensacola, they operate from a different paradigm.

Now, that's not to say Pensacola is perfect.  There is a poverty mindset, scarcity patterns (interestingly these are almost identical in both locations, despite the massive differences in relative income and wealth.  It has a certain resignation to failure that goes pretty deep.  But ultimately, the prevailing energy of Pensacola is far more peace, acceptance, happiness and gratitude for what they have instead of envy or anxiety over what they don't have.  People have a lot less but overall they're a lot happier, more generous, and more grateful.

A lot of this difference has to do with Pensacola's closer relationship with God.  Christianity is far more open, prevalent, accepted and celebrated than secular Southern California.  So spiritual connection, and the flow that comes with it, is more available.  That's not to say there aren't distortions and corruptions, there certainly are, but the energetic soil is cleaner and more nourishing.

You really notice it when you see people who move from wealthy areas to Pensacola and are immediately triggered.  "There aren't any good jobs," "fewer opportunities," "lack of growth (not true)," complaining about certain expenses, where are the expensive specialty shops, etc.  The energy here really triggers people steeped in their money rich/energy poor lifestyles.

How does this relate to the flow of money?  Clearly the Southern California energy is far out of the flow, yet objectively they have more (yet everyone feels poor there).  Pensacola is much more connected to the flow, yet they seem to have little to show for it.  But if you keep digging, you see evidence that the stronger flow is raising the community.  And more importantly, it's elevating in a way that is aligned much more closely with spiritual truth, which means while the "paper wealth" will burn away (sometimes literally, like the recent fires in LA), the areas in the flow will continue to grow.  

What does this mean for you?  For now the takeaway is to learn to identify the different energies and feel into their inherent truth.  It's challenging to do this when you live in a location, so finding an objective distance helps.  Noticing these things will help you notice these patterns in yourself.  For example, I've been immersed in "mass leakage," "keeping up with the Joneses," and "never enough" patterns my entire life, to the point I'd become nose-blind to their toxicity.  Finding that awareness is the first step to deprogramming those patterns to reclaim true financial flow.

There's more to talk about, but allow this to serve as a wake-up call for gaining true awareness and energetic sovereignty.
