I find it very ironic that so many people I know on the spiritual path often struggle so much with money. I feel in many ways that it is far more spiritual to be abundant than to be unabundant.

Answer
The children entering into your world at this time are already intuitive and operating from a higher dimension. This is reflected in their eyes. Some of you may have noticed this, I have heard some say " they look like 'old people' in a babies body.
We are living in a time of shifting paradigms. Many of the established religions, including Christian churches of all denominations, are currently witnessing an erosion of their memberships. Fewer people today look to the traditional religions and the churches for answers to their contemporary problems. Is this because the profoundly simple words of our great original teachers have been subsumed into an overbearing and controlling man made culture of fixed rules, regulations, rituals and dogmas? Consider the fact that Jesus Christ was never a Christian, Buddha was not a Buddhist, nor was Mohammed a Muslim. And while the traditional religions continue to lament their decline, the roots and branches of a vibrant new spirituality are forming everywhere. Another pathway is being chosen and experienced by many persons world wide.
Stephen Simon, founder of the Spiritual Cinema Circle offers:
While religious and spiritual have much more in common than they are different, most mainstream media imply that they are synonymous, and they are not.
Religion reflects the teachings of particular organized religions that commonly present specific rules, regulations, and rituals that must be followed in order to experience a connection with the Divine which is usually identified as male and outside of humanity.
Spirituality entails a more personal, inner-directed, and individual experience of the Divine, which is represented as an integral aspect of our own humanity.
From Wikipedia:
Spirituality is, in a narrow sense, a concern with matters of the spirit, however that may be defined; but it is also a wide term with many available readings. It may include belief in supernatural powers, as in religion, but the emphasis is on personal experience. It may be an expression for life perceived as higher, more complex or more integrated with one's worldview, as contrasted with the merely sensual.
Spirituality and Sexual Energy
One of the most important subjects on a souls spiritual path is the one on sexual energy. Many souls ask how can I raise my vibration? How can I reach the highest levels of awareness? Without the opening up of the Kundalini, and the burning away with the Kundalini fire of the Etheric web at the base of the neck, higher spiritual awareness will always be denied.
Many Yogis do manage to raise the Kundalini, and it can be raised by meditation over many years of discipline. However, all one needs is the right partner, the right energy, and raising the Kundalini to burn the Etheric web to create a higher state of consciousness can be achieved.
