The Universe, God, and You: How to Align with Abundance and Prosperity
Dear Rachel,
I am evolving from my strict religious background to one that is more spiritual. I hear God and the Universe used synonymously. What is the difference?

Dear Truth Seeker,
Thank you for such an important question. As you continue your spiritual journey, it’s natural to wonder about the difference between God and the Universe, especially when they seem to overlap. From my perspective, both are deeply connected but serve different roles in our lives.
God is the Source, the Creator of all things. The relationship you build with God is personal, based on love, trust, and guidance. God offers you divine connection, wisdom, and unconditional love. It’s a relationship where you can seek help, understanding, and communion with a higher force guiding you toward your highest good. God is pure energy—formless, genderless, and all-loving. (Not quite the patriarchal old man on a cloud many imagine from biblical paintings.)
On the other hand, the Universe operates through the law of attraction. It responds to your energy, frequency, and thoughts, giving back exactly what you put out. When you vibrate at a high frequency of love, trust, and gratitude, the Universe brings you experiences that match. If you focus on abundance, you create the space for abundance to flow into your life. Similarly, if you focus on fear or scarcity, the Universe mirrors those feelings back to you.
So, while God is the deep, unconditional love guiding you from within, the Universe is the powerful force that reflects your energy back to you in the material realm. By understanding and aligning both, you can consciously co-create a life full of love, abundance, and spiritual connection.

Here is MAGIC: If you believe that God made you, then you ARE part of God. God’s energy flows within you. You are not separate. And… because you exist as a member of this Universe, all gifts of this Universe are available to you NOW. You just need to know how to tune into them.

Dear Rachel,
I’ve been trying to change my relationship with money, but it feels like the more I focus on it, the further it gets. What do I do if I feel like I’ve tried everything and still can’t seem to shift my situation?

Dear Frustrated,
Many can relate to this, including me. If we were granted three wishes or handed a magic lamp, more money would likely top the list. Shifting your relationship with money can feel difficult, but it’s also a profound opportunity for transformation. The key to attracting wealth and abundance isn’t about pushing harder or striving relentlessly. It’s about embracing a natural flow, releasing fear, doubt, and control—making space for prosperity to enter effortlessly.
Money and abundance are not just material possessions; they are reflections of the energetic space you hold. Resistance to money often stems from past trauma, societal conditioning, or unconscious beliefs about worthiness. To shift your relationship with money, consider this practice:
A Practice to Reset Your Money Matrix with Archangel Ariel
- Find a quiet space and ground yourself. Close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and release tension from your mind and body.
- Visualize yourself standing in front of a flowing river of gold coins. This river represents abundance in all its forms: money, love, opportunities, and everything you need.
- Stop, breathe, and connect with your emotions. What does it feel like to connect with what you want and need? Peaceful? Joyful? Safe? Be with this energy now. Connect with it. It’s yours now.
- As you feel the energy of abundance, try to imagine the coins flowing toward you, but don’t catch them! Let them brush against you, notice them filling your pockets, and surround your entire being. Allow them to fill the atmosphere around you, creating a golden energy field of wealth and possibility. Let them flow into your reality.
- Say out loud, “I let the money (or abundance) in. I let the money (or abundance) reset the matrix of my Universe!”
- Feel the shift in your energy as you align with abundance. Trust that your best reality is flowing with you, now and always.

By practicing this regularly, you will begin to feel the energetic shift. Trust that money is on its way to you, and release any feelings of lack or desperation.
When you align your energy with abundance, you no longer must chase money—it comes to you. Remember: if you chase money, you are showing the Universe that your money loves to be chased, never caught. Instead, let your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs support your ability to receive, and watch as prosperity flows into your life in expected and unexpected ways.
Love,
