If you suspected you had counterfeit currency in your wallet, would you take it out of circulation or would you pass it on? Would you see yourself as a victim for having unwittingly received it? Would you knowingly spend a fake hundred-dollar bill if you thought no one would notice? Would you see yourself as doing a public service by destroying it or turning it in to authorities?

Reflect about why you answer as you do; your answers will reveal to you some of your underlying beliefs about scarcity and abundance, how much you feel you deserve, and your ability to receive and circulate soul currency in an unimpeded flow.
