Considerations 155 …
Abundance …
- - O-0-O-O-0-o - -
Perhaps contrary to what most people believe … we live in an abundant set of worlds within the Lower Psychic Worlds. Abundance is a building block of life within these worlds. Rarely is there “just enough” of anything within the universe. Nature deals in numbers.
Bringing abundance into ones life is not necessarily a matter of what we do … or earn … or outwardly gather. Since mind … in these Lower Psychic Worlds … is the active principle that brings or withholds all in the individuals life … it all comes down to how we individually relate to the world(s) around us as we walk our individual incarnations … developing one to the next … acknowledging and receiving according to our perceptions and beliefs … limiting … sought solely for personal gain … or otherwise.
There is a basic principle in mathematics that states 1+1=2 … but not 1+1=27. In other words … there is a principle based on correctness … on the beneficial … *not* on error. The same holds true for health … there is a natural principle for health but not for disease. There is the same basic principle for truth … but not for dishonesty. There is the basic principle of Light … but not of darkness. There are positions or viewpoints on each detrimental side … to be sure. There *is* error and disease and dishonesty and etc … but this is due to the lack of the basic principle or limitations in our perception, beliefs, and lifestyle. If we learn and then apply the basic principles … there will be little opposition. Health will be ours … brightness will be ours … etc.
Many believe that “abundance” means that we have huge accumulations of whatever we want. Greed … is not abundance. Having more than we need for simple contentment … is not abundance. Obviously … culture and society teaches us otherwise. Contentment teaches us to have just enough … and not more.
Since we draw to ourselves that which we believe ourselves to be and the fulfillment of our desires … if we tend to focus on lack or worry or bad health or loneliness or whatever … what else do you expect to bring into your life?
One very unnerving understanding when we begin to turn our perceptions around and all to begin to work in our favor … is that we have been practicing limiting perceptions for a long, long time. One does not turn such perceptions around and gain immediate results. For one … mind doesn’t like to indulge in such changes. Two … we have to “outlast” the lingering effects or karmic implications of our long-standing beliefs.
We live in a massive sea of Consciousness … as a part of Life via Spirit … on one level or another. We are aware of what we believe … for our outer life shows that to us … our inner life supports and guides it into place. If you have “something” … and want “something else” … you have to go and get it … and the appropriate way to do this is from the inner to the outer … think … focus … and believe … and wait for it to develop.
Another unnerving aspect to all of this is the slowness of the physical world. Things on the physical more often than not develop very slowly. Add in the disconcerting aspect of karmic implications … if one is to go through a certain physical condition to work off karmic implications … then you will either do it now … or if you are able to set up a dance-step around it … you will “pay it off” in another way in another time. One cannot con Life out of what one owes to It.
Your life is your accepted belief system or state of consciousness … pushed outward. It is no one else’s. Yes … others may have conned, forced, threatened, or bought you to believe this-or-that … but *you* accepted the set-up. And I will be the very first to agree … one an always believe and claim … “HEY … I didn’t ask for that to happen!”
Somewhere along the line ( of past lives ) … you did … or … in order to balance out a karmic predisposition … such-and-such an experience … or set of experiences … were designed for you. It will all “turn around” when you have balanced any karmic debts to whom or whatever … and you put in the effort to ease into a new and more broad beneficial understanding of Life … both of which involve time and effort. The school room is exacting. You are here to learn … not to dictate or demand that life goes “your” way.
What makes all of this seem to drag on and on and on … is that we often just want to “wait it out” … wait until things turn our way … we have finally reached the state of balance and life becomes tolerable again.
OR … we refuse to listen or observe what LIFE clearly tries so hard to get across to us … by way of whatever avenue or aspect or tool or person or condition that LIFE is using at the moment to do exactly that. Many times … it is not that LIFE is working against us … but that we refuse to listen. What we allow … via the old patterns and beliefs … will continue. We are sheltered from the beneficial because we continue with the detrimental … or the limiting.
No one else can do it for you.
Those that “could” do it for you … more often than not … won’t.
How else would you learn?
To turn all of this around … start now. Yes … there is effort … but there is also reward … or freedom. Taking off the chains of limitation becomes a lifestyle … of revision … of your brightening inner world … of your understanding of LIFE.
It is a common perception of the human state of consciousness that … “ I am innocent … the world / Life is against me.” It is one of the prime designs of reincarnation is that we forget … a curtain is drawn over previous choices we made … and now we get to experience the results. It is uncomfortable to say … we humans tend to learn via adversity and not harmony. Even the authentic Masters have their potshots aimed at them. Some … will die or be killed by them. The strength learned under such an endless siege … there is no other way to learn the depth of this strength.
Surrounded by abundance … it is our choices that focus on what we lack … what is wrong … what is grievous. The schoolroom is ruthless … yet the middle path offers the greatest sanctuary. Wanting the excesses of either too much or too little brings demand towards the center with the actions as prominent as the pendulum.
Many would claim it’s no *fun* to walk the mile path … and they would be right. Contentment … is not “fun.” Serenity … is not “fun.” Focused attention is not … “fun.” But more often than not it is all quite fulfilling, devoted, and reverent.
More next Monday.
