You are meant to be the steward of all of the life force energy that moves through you and all that dances before you.
Money can teach us everything we need to know about how to live in this world as spiritually enlightened human beings. The teachings of this lesson #1 run deep. First, it commands from us an understanding that life emanates through us - that we are the creators of our lives. It is not the amount of money that we have or even our apparent capacity for generating it that determines the content of our experience.

Second, it asks us to fully accept our responsibility as creators. Because our lives move through us in order to be expressed, that means that everything we experience is an element of our creation. It is one thing to accept that our consciousness creates our lives and another to integrate that understanding fully. To be the steward of all of the life force that moves through us is to dawn an extraordinary mantle of accountability and honour.
Thirdly, this first money lesson calls us to take that accountability and honour and choose in accordance with the highest good of all. Now, it is true that someone could interpret an entirely different message from this first lesson. As steward of the life force moving through me and dancing before me, it is within my rights to do whatever I want with it. However, first-rate stewardship requires foresight and sustainability. None of us live in a vacuum and all of us have a lasting impact on the world around us. To shape our lives in the path of service, contribution, and abundance for all - both through becoming a beacon of personal freedom and prosperity as well as a source of inspiration and support for the collective, is the mark of true stewardship.
Next, lesson #1 teaches us how to stay unattached from outcome or in this case, the bottom-line. True stewardship is not ownership. We do not own anything in this world. Everything is temporary - we take nothing with us when we go. Yes, we have arranged legal and institutionalized systems of ownership, but these are purely conceptual. The agreements only exist because we have all agreed upon them - more proof that our life experience is based solely in our consciousness. A faithful steward cares for and manages his or her charge without ever claiming or seeking ownership.
Finally, this lesson teaches us to engage all of the details of our lives with care, attention, and respect. These lessons may sound sweeping and metaphoric, but they are practical and tangible as well. Money exists as a worldly representation of our life force energy. To care for every penny, dollar, or million dollars in the spirit of true stewardship is what is being called for here. To become conscious of every choice we make, to place those choices in the service of the highest good, remaining in a fluid state of non-attachment to the results, and paying caring attention to the details is the substance of money lesson #1. Yes, the approach is deeply spiritual and esoterically challenging. But it is also a call to balance your accounts, be aware of the cash you have on hand, the debt piling up on your credit card, and the strategies you take financially to be a steward worthy or your own greatness.
The key is to stop trying to avoid, dominate, or manipulate your money, and begin to learn from it.
