Your 'lid' on abundance
I'd like to share a small story about "Abundance."
In the story, I use "money" as an example of letting abundance
into your life - but of course as you already know...
Abundance is everything. It is the nature of your true self. Moneyis a mare reflection of abundance of your true self.
It just so happens though, that in the way the world works right
now... money is a great reflection of how you see yourself.
(Unless you live in a Utopia land where capitalism does notexist :) )
So for this purpose, we'll use money, but keep in mind, this applies to every-
thing.
Story:
I once met a near billionaire, this man was worth 600 million dollars. And he
had made all of it, in a matter of 12 months.
To make it short, he found a very quick way to generate large amounts of money
by buying/selling/shipping. He started completely broke, and put his house up
as capital to start his first deal.
When I first met him, there was nothing different about this man than anyone else.
He was rather ordinary looking. Quite boring actually.
Since there was nothing different on the "outside" obviously, it was on the inside.
A few days later, I figured I'd actually ask him what that was, and he told me just a few things that struck a deep cord in me.
He said...
There is no such thing as "a lot" of money.
There's no such thing as "a little" money
There is no such thing as "a lot" of anything.
There is no such thing as "a little" of anything"
It's all an illusion that keeps you trapped in a box.
When I was young, my father once told me something which I never understood until just a year ago, he said....
'Son... you have to dig long and hard for peanuts, but the fruits and oranges are right there for everyone, all you have to do is reach out with your hands and pick them..' "
That's all he said... that's all he needed to say. :)
You see , one of "safety lids" we wear our entire lives is... compulsive labeling.
We walk around all day labeling things, fitting them into our little "box" of reality, what we think is true, how people should act, how you should act...
It's a life of struggle.
Then one day you may hear the message...
"Hey, Abundance is available to you!"
Then... of course... the mind takes this message and very quickly puts a lid on it...
"Oh... Abundance... you mean like... A LOT of stuff?"
Right away... Abundance is now " a lot" of something...
Well... the trouble with "a lot" ... is that you are comparing it to something which you consider "not a lot" or "normal"
So if in your mind 500 is normal... 5000 is a lot.
5 is a little
So your mind thinks... "Oh Abundance... that's like 5000 of something"
Well... all of a sudden... Abundance isn't Abundance anymore. Abundance now has a abel and a generalization. It is limited.
How can Abundance be Limited?
This is the common trap we fall into when we read about Abundance.
You see, this thing called "Abundance"that I've been writing to you in the past
isn't some external event or energy that is "mysteriously" going to flow
into your life.
Abundance is simply the nature of your true self. The nature of who
you truly are behind all those limits, labels, and conceptualizations you
have of what your world should be like.
Behind what your mind thinks is comfortable.
The true nature of yourself is limitless!
Abundance is limitless.
As the old saying goes:
"From Abundance He Took...And Abundance Remained"
This is unbelievable to the mind.The mind cannot grasp.
Because the mind needs reference points... it needs a safety net.
So when you live from the mind (as opposed to your heart) You're
constantly comparing everything.
You either have "very little" and you're constantly trying to get "a lot"
Or you have "normal" and you' reterrified of getting "a lot" or "a little"
because of what it might "mean" to you and others to be different.
Or you have "a lot" and you'reterrified of losing it all... Or, you live
an inflated life of constantly rying to live up to the image of what a person who has "a lot" behaves like, speaks like, relates
like, looks like.
Each one is hell!
First, abundance is the absence of all "having." The realization that all ownership is bogus.
Just an idea in your head.
Secondly, Abundance is the invitation of limitless.
The dropping of all your labels.
You hear everyone saying these
things...
"I want more money!""I want more love!"
"I want better sex!"
"I want more health!"
As COMPARED to what!?
All these are simply saying...
"I want more limitation!"
"I really enjoy my prison and I want better wall paper on my cell!"
Begin to drop all your labels,and your story of what you have and what you don't have...
You may be surprised as to how quickly your "reality" changes :)
Dropping all labels doesn't mean you stop trying to "improve" things or situation.
Positive action is still necessary,but it doesn't have to come from a
label anymore... doesn't have to come from scarcity :)
This is life from an open heart.
"From Limitation He Did And Limitation Is All That was Left"
May all beings be free.
