“Creating Abundance”
Evening Class
Dec 10-08
Dr. Harry Morgan Moses
In order to get the consciousness to manifest the
abundance that we want and hopefully what we have learned over these
weeks is getting consciousness is not a quick, take a pill get it
and it succeeds and that is not how it works. Hopefully what we have
been seeing as we have been working in the course over the weeks is
that abundance is really coming from your consciousness. Now the fun
thing about doing all of the research around this class is that what
I find there is a poem by T. S. Elliot and the essence of the poem
is that we journey thousand and thousands of miles to come back to
where we started and we see it for the first time. In my word see
what you’re creating inside and I don’t like us to become
overburdened by the term work but if we don’t do consciousness work
we will be burdened by work in the world, there is no question about
that. So if your being overly burdened by work in the world the
adjustment is in your consciousness and when we start noticing that
consciousness work which we could call it my spiritual work but my
spiritual work becomes critical meaning my working with my
consciousness. We had an exchange about the idea of creating space
in our consciousness and that once we really start to see that our
abundance will always change and I often have these conversations
about context and content. In this spiritual center and you say I am
and you are trying to reframe the language so that when we come
together in this spiritual center and we create a community and over
the eons we call that church and what we don’t want to do by calling
a church and come back into an old consciousness as to why. The
reason Ernest Holmes did not want to use the word prayer and we open
with an affirmative prayer and another word for affirmative prayer
in the teaching is spiritual mind treatment. The leader who really
wanted to change the terms to spiritual mind treatment wanted to
change the term so that there was a consciousness idea that
something is wrong and I will go to church and light a candle for
you or say a prayer for you and the way that was received by many
people was I don’t know anyway I can help you so I will just hope
and pray that things will happen and when we start to understand the
science of mind, when we understand the principal of love and law,
when we understand the quantum field and our inseparable
relationship to it, we get a different perspective and so then when
we pray in affirmative prayer and we pray in spiritual mind
treatment were not saying I don’t have any power I don’t know what
to do infact we are going quite the opposite direction and were
saying I have all power and therefore I will be the agent of change
that brings the healing of whatever it is whether its mind, body or
circumstance. So coming all the way back we journey for me in doing
this research because the journey takes me all the way around as we
have this year and if you don’t get our regular weekly schedule in
your e-mail box I invite you to sign up for it because there is
always interesting things going on here and one of the things is
called topic classes and in the topic classes I will find something
out in my work and I want all of us to see this idea in that if I am
wanting to create abundance I am going to need to come into my work
and my work is not the work I do in the external world its the work
that I am doing in myself.
The quote is going to remind you from another teacher’s perspective
that the journey is about not trying to find something outside of
myself but rather to affect the change within myself.
I will use a metaphor as we are talking about abundance. In today’s
world we have a chart of accounts and that chart plays out in our
spreadsheet and we have totals and then we accounts due and totals
here and each one of these things is called a line item. Now whether
you are setting your stuff up on a spread sheet or not that is the
way it works for everybody and that is why when you’re calling a
credit card company or bank they will all ask you the same set of
questions. What are our expenses, what is your income, and it is a
chart of accounts and pretty much everyone’s life has a similar
chart of accounts if you’re living in this culture. We know what it
takes as a human being in society to live and so what we have been
doing from a mental science perspective and I am going back to these
two words I shared with you and from a mental science perspective is
we have been using the principal of consciousness and that is what
were learning here and what we are learning about not only in the
area of abundance because you see abundance is only one of the four
areas of our lives. All of the four areas of our lives are being
managed by our consciousness and Raymond Charles Barker a great
teacher out of New York city wrote a book called the power of
decision and I heard this twenty years ago and I had already been a
metaphysician and had been studying and working for sometime and I
heard this idea of Raymond Charles Barker that we have four areas of
life and when you consider yourself engaged in being awake so I
looked at that idea and I said there is no such thing as four areas
of life and we all have variations of the four areas of life. The
four areas that he talked about are health, wealth which is
abundance love which is our relationships and how we are in
relationships and purpose. How are we doing in terms of the soul on
a journey (in eternity) coming to do what we came to do are we
finding that are we opening that are we discovering that. So all of
the variations on the spreadsheet of our lives are in these
categories in the core areas and so tonight we are talking about the
one of abundance. The one of abundance we have been using the law
and when I say the law the law of mental science some of you are new
to hearing me lecture and what will happen is we have been using the
law of mind or the quantum field and we will make this simple that
each one of us has a consciousness and the consciousness that we
have is born out of the fact that we are conscious. We have a
consciousness because we are conscious and what consciousness is is
the sum total of everything we are conscious of. Let me reframe that
it is the sum total of everything we have ever been conscious of and
everything we are conscious of now. We all have a consciousness
because you have been and you have been conscious and you have been
creating a consciousness whether you knew it or not. In fact the
consciousness that you are creating is what the quantum field what
the physics now call the quantum field. The newest understanding
that we have in physical science the revelation of quantum science
that was brought forth as a theory so this was all happening at the
time we were understanding the atom quantum just means units slower
than the atom that is all quantum means and again these are things
that happen at a level smaller than an atom. The extraordinary thing
is at the level smaller than the atom what we have found is that
energy and matter are equal and interchangeable and that what seems
to affect matter is the observer that has come out of the simple
form the observer affects the outcome of any experiment.
The observer looking at it is what is affects the field so we are
all conscious and so were all in this field and this field is what
we have in new thought is called mind its the new term the quantum
field but its because we have discovered science about it, it is
still exactly the same field. So this field of energy that were in
looks like a fish looking for water and you have to go looking
through the quantum field you are immersed in it, you are surrounded
by it and you can’t get out of the quantum field, you are literally
right now swimming in the quantum field and because your swimming in
the quantum field every motion you make affects the field. And that
motion happens both mentally physically emotionally and you see all
the different levels of the field that we are creating all of the
time. So this field is responding to us and then it is coming out in
our experience and we call this experience in metaphysics we call
this experience the body but we understand we are talking about the
body its all things physical, literally the body of the universe the
body of god its anything physical. The universe is both non physical
and physical is it not? So when we talk about the body of god we
come out with physical reality of god. So I talk about my body I
talk about my physical body and I am also talking about the body of
my experience which is everything physical within the body of my
experience.
So what we have discovered and that is why we call it new thought
age of wisdom we discovered that my consciousness there is a
wonderful quote here from Thenius Quimby who was the man who brought
healing forth through the new thought movement and the quote says I
discovered once I believed something it seems to happen that way
whether I’m thinking about it or not. Once I believe something
everything seemed to happen that way whether I was thinking about it
or not. He established a consciousness within the field that caused
information to come in for him according to his particular
consciousness and can out the way that he believed it. This is no
different than what the master teacher says when he said it is don
unto you as you believe and my beliefs are creating my experience
and we find this idea has been in the field, Jesus brought it forth
and we see the Indiana guru’s brought it forth and in our time it is
written and Ernest Holmes says we will all look forward to the day
when science and religion walk hand in hand from the visible to the
invisible and we are in that time and that is what is happening.
So what we have been doing with this field of belief is we have
discovered this law of mind and the things that I believe seems to
be happening whether I did it or not and then we found out that you
have a broken something or something that cannot breathe or
something that is not functioning or some disease or something that
you could apply the principal towards the disease and that would
create healing and that’s how new thought actually got known because
in the later part of the eighteenth hundreds there were a lot of
diseases which now we can treat with medical science that were not
treatable by medical science and when you were diagnosed you were
simply told to a sanatorium a place where you could rest and then
you could die and that was the best they had so people were looking
for alternatives and healings began to happen and that’s when
tremendous momentum began to happen in the New Thought movement
which you can see that all of these books that were published
basically beginning with Emerson’s essay and moving forward all the
way up to the 1940’s this great birth of new thought that a rapid
change was happening in the world. Then of course the world wide
media came in and that changed the game and so now we have new
thought principals and I know this as I have talked to Deepak Chopra
personally and he told me himself that if it wasn’t for new thought
Deepak would not have become known so the avenues through which new
thought were where these new thought teachers who became more
teachers and Marianne Williamson came out of the course of miracles
and we have Wayne Dyer who became the first public spiritual
psychologist and out of these world figures we literally the new
thought movement has created a ground of transformation. Now what we
have been saying is now that each of us and this comes back to what
I have been talking about the journey of all of this study, always
brings me back to the same place and I have been very consist about
it for twenty years. I believe that consciousness is everything and
when you really understand consciousness you will lovely joyfully
freely and because it is the only real positive work you will take
the work of working on your consciousness into your heart as the way
you live your life. Because without it you become a victim to the
world and with it you become the creator of your own destiny, which
one would you prefer? It is up to you so if were not living the
abundant life which God has ordained how do we know god is ordained
because god is all of that abundance the cheer would not be in the
manipulative affairs but to change the belief however we are
reminded of the fact that to change a true belief does not make the
belief true. It is the discovery of something just like the fact
that you can use electricity doesn’t make your use of electricity
make electricity true, do you see it? Electricity was always there
and it was always true, the fact that your using it your now
aligning with the principal that you can use, you didn’t create the
truth, you aligned with the principal and that’s what were seeking
to do is to align the universe is obviously not struggling because
we don’t feel any strain in the planet spinning. We don’t feel any
strain in its movement around the sun, we don’t feel any strain in
the solar system in its relationship with the rest of the solar
system and even the galaxies in relationship to all the rest of the
galaxies there is no strain and any one looking at it doesn’t see
any strain just sees activity. So were one with that free expansive
activity of the universe the only thing is we use consciousness and
our consciousness has diminished our use of what’s possible. And
this is because we did not know any better and now here is the truth
of what’s happening.
Your consciousness now uses your body as an instrument and isn’t
your brain in your body so isn’t your consciousness using your brain
as an instrument. Actually consciousness comes first and brain comes
second but consciousness uses brain and brain works just like wiring
works. It works by connecting neuron synapses and those neuro
synapses in our brain have programmed work as a physical reality and
what happens is just like a new computer you put data in and it has
to find a program to use the data and so that is coming in and our
brain has determined our program, its preset you preset it by means
of your childhood, your belief by what you observed as you were
growing up and what you observed in your first job and your first
love affair and you observed life and you assumed what it was and
your brain took that information and it make neuro synapses in your
brain to match that information. So now you go to an abundance class
and you hear that God is all abundance and God withholds nothing
from anyone and god is freely giving of itself in the fullness of
its being and your saying well I can’t create that because I don’t
have it and the principal says were not talking about what your
having were talking about what God has and your not going by what
you have you are going by the standard that god has and you have
access to that account. It’s not about what’s in your account it’s
about what can you have access to. How will your goals be fulfilled
not by your account but by god’s account? By the way your good
doesn’t not diminish at all. So now we are coming back to context
and content so we then learn this law will respond by corresponding,
it will work for health and we see it develop in health and we say
oh I see it works in my health it works in my energy and it works in
my approach to life and I begin to see I can apply the law, I begin
to say the principal is god is this and I am that and I draw from
the principal into my consciousness and the consciousness through my
belief causes things to work. Then we start aligning our lives and
we go ok my relationship is not working so god you go into there and
then we say I know how to pay this months mortgage but I don’t know
how to pay next month’s so god you go into the mortgage line and we
then look at all of the figures, in all of our different lines and
we look at what is not there and how is it going to get there and
then we do the work of having to do spiritual mind treatment or
applying everything we have learned about consciousness well I had
better do this line because this is my most important line and as
soon as I have a little bit of fresh air there now I had better
bring my consciousness to this line and now we took care of these
and this stage got handled but this one now has new dates and you
bring your consciousness back to this line and then this was the
line you were waiting for and you say oh I am doing ok so now let me
get this one and this is the insurance bill that you forgot was
coming, due you see that you are constantly having to go in
consciousness and yet consciousness fulfills the line, that is the
way we have been using the law and it works. How do we know it works
how many people by show of hands that have been in class and by
means of being in class have practiced getting parking places? Have
you noticed that you get parking places, do you see that parking
places is a line item. So you use the law to fill a line item when
in truth what your not talking about is all these line items your
talking about a much bigger category, you are talking about a thing
called abundance which is not the content thing because it is a
context thing. I don’t just want to fill the line items as I catch
them I become like a juggler in consciousness, first I deal with my
health and next I deal with my wealth and I am constantly using
consciousness to fill the holes of my problems.
Now that was better that was an improvement than using your bicycle
meaning running around in the world trying to manipulate things and
call people to do things and so on, the improvement by knowing that
your consciousness is going to fill that line was an upgrade. Just
like when you get to the mall and you are not totally victimized by
the crowd because you know that you will find your parking place and
that is an upgrade isn’t it? But what you want is that spontaneous
first reaction of your mind to go there literally about everything.
An example that I used the other day was my daughter and I went to
get a gift for the name that we took off the giving tree and I just
understood the concept of the giving tree. I have been here for
three years and I finally got it and I went oh the ornaments come
off the tree and it gives to all of those people, its a giving tree,
oh I get it and I was participating and I didn’t not quite get the
concept and now I do.
I am pulling into Target in the left hand lane and the cars are
backed up to the end of the left hand lane and the right hand lane
the cars are pulling in one after the other and the left lane cannot
get in because the right hand is coming in and I am thinking and
Charles Gibson says everybody is suffering so badly the world is
coming to an end and I say look at all the people driving to
celebrate Christmas and make Christmas happen and that was not
matching in terms of what is really happening in the world .
Barbara Walters interviewed a bunch of people in 2008 and one person
she had on was Russ Limbaugh and I thought this was a really great
consciousness line Barbara says to Russ I understand you just signed
a new one hundred and thirty one million dollar contract and he says
yes and she say don’t you think that is a little much and he said no
I am absolutely worth it and she said haven’t you heard about the
recession and he said I just choose not to participate. Good line
and claim it as the truth as we said Charley Gibson and other
friends in the new media say there is a recession going on, I choose
not to participate. Touch yourself and say I choose not to
participate is because if you go with that consciousness there is no
way your going to manifest abundance. We know for a fact
historically and in every economic ruff time there are people who
have made vast fortunes in those times. They are not any different
than you and you make the decision whether you’re going to
participate in the recession or to participate in the abundance
consciousness in a new era and that is your choice and one will make
you feel bad the other will make you feel better. My recommendation
is go towards that which will make you feel better.
Could you prepare for the worst yes and make you feel bad or you can
prepare for the best and you will liable to get it.
So what were not saying is on the subject of whatever you need to
learn or may still be learning about managing your spreadsheet at
some point and I have been blessed in my middle aged life we here as
a spiritual community have been working on our spreadsheet and
making this a vibrant healthily ministry and in doing so we have to
do a lot of spreadsheet work and in terms of doing this work we have
attracted spreadsheet experts and we have attracted programs about
spreadsheets and I have learned a lot and now I am saying to God
thank you God I needed to learn about the content of spreadsheets. I
needed to learn that I made mistakes and all of it as Ralph Waldo
Emerson said life does not tarry with yesterday meaning it doesn’t
wait around or hold onto the past it moves on and what is under the
bridges, under the bridge and what is coming up is what you’re
establishing in your consciousness now. What your establishing now
will bring what’s coming to you and that’s what were talking about
abundance is a question of consciousness, consciousness is a
question of your consciousness work and anyway of saying that is
consciousness is a question of how much attention you are putting on
the life of your soul.
Consciousness is how much abundance you have is a reflection of how
much attention your willing to put on the life of your soul because
how much work your willing to do with consciousness is a measure of
how much work your willing to do with your soul. In fact I don’t
know any other way it can be managed. So now from working on my soul
with whom do I work on my soul? The answer is myself, I work on
myself now can I join you in more soul work of course I can support
you just as you can support me but I can’t do it for you but I can
support you so we do very much effect one another’s consciousness.
I have done some research that people with happy attitudes affect
people within a quarter mile from them, by a measurable percentage
the spouse in the household. It affects by a measurable percentage
the babies around the house. So we like the vibe in here we like it
to be active, we like to be growing, we like people to be working
through here to do what ever they need to get healed, this is a
healing place. The more healing we have the better the vibrations
all around here and we can vibrate to affect things that from this
very place bounce all around the world and we can. This is no longer
just happy thoughts this is science, this is actual factual science
a provable science so we would say given what we know it might be
worth while for you to go.
So here is where I want to go tonight the word father as translated
in the Aramaic two important words that you need to know which was
Jesus in the scripture when he says father I know you heard me now
and your heard me always. Lazarus comes forth and he spoke to first
friends and the word that we received in English was father which is
a masculine principal which isn’t what he said. The word was Abba
and Abba means first mover or fundamental action so I say abba that
within me which means first. That which moved upon me to even create
my life, that which is first mover I know because you have moved in
me and you are moving in me now. It is an opening to the larger
self. The other word that was an Aramaic word and this is where we
get confused around spirituality even around abundance. Because we
think abundance is a number on our spreadsheet. We think if I had
that number on a spreadsheet I would have it but you know if you
take a miserable soul out of the funky cabin on the mountain and you
put the miserable soul in a giant castle on top of the mountain,
what do you have in the castle on top of the mountain? You still
have a miserable soul! So consciousness is what is going to create
abundance and your ability to perceive abundance is what’s going to
create abundance and the abundance will come to you according to
your version of abundance.
My wife and I have a beautiful home but if you come to my home you
will see it is basically a little cabin but what makes it a
beautiful home is the vista that you look at from the beautiful home
it makes it feel like a beautiful home and it is just a little cabin
in the mountains. But according to my consciousness it’s done. I
don’t need the size of the house it’s the size of the glory of the
most high and so it makes my little cabin seem like a big mansion.
So we see that abundance is going to come through our consciousness
now and now were working with our consciousness and now we know
there are elements so here is one of the big mistakes we can make in
spirituality.
Can you see and are you willing to open yourself up and I know that
even thought the presence of your desire is for more money, more
physical abundance but can you see that its your capacity to enjoy
your abundance would make money abundant otherwise if you have no
capacity to enjoy it you could have money and not be abundant, do
you see that? So abundance really becomes a consciousness thing so
then we go ok well then I’m going to switch, and I’m not looking for
a number on a spreadsheet anymore I’m going to look for enlightment.
Because in spiritual life enlightment is the goal and so I am going
to purpose myself to become unlighted and have the ecstasy of
enlightment and you know what happens after ecstasy the laundry. In
other words there is an ancient saying which says before enlightment
chop wood carry water, after enlightment chop wood carry water. And
we see the story of that lived out by Brother Lawrence and Thomas
mortan two enlightened souls separated by eighty-five years the two
enlightened souls each one a Catholic priest who became a Buddha
Monk simultaneously Thomas Mertan and the other brother Lawrence who
wrote the book in the presence and both of them in their respective
orders were dishwashers. They were the guys who stood in the kitchen
washing dishes and their superiors noticed they had become
enlightened and they said upon noticing this enlightment from these
souls you should be the chief of the order, you should be the head
person and each of them said no, I do dishes before enlightment
dishes, after enlightment dishes, why because dishes seem to be a
valid path to enlightment the path is working fine for me so I will
stay with the dishes, do you follow? This does not mean that I will
not share my consciousness but I will do my task what ever is mine
to do. So what we see then is that everything is a function of
consciousness but we can make the same mistake with abundance and
think that there is number that I will get to that will satisfy my
abundance portion and it won’t, and it can’t and it doesn’t.
Literally I know this it wont, it can’t and it doesn’t and the only
thing that will satisfy your enlightment quotation is an
understanding of what Jesus said and the prayer that most of us came
out of the Christian culture most of us learned the Lord’s Prayer.
Out father who art in heaven, hallow be thy name and the original
verse in Aramaic is my mother thorough the earth there is a natural
feminism principal included in the prayer. But the key there is in
earth as it already is in heaven and it is very interesting if you
look at the most fundamental version of the new testament the King
James Version and everybody repeats the prayer on earth but it is
not written on earth it is written in earth as it is in heaven in
earth meaning in the consciousness of self, in earth as it is in the
consciousness of heaven, the same place it is an in place it becomes
an out place. It is not on anything but in everything. So the word
that he used for heaven the Aramaic word for heaven is runis and
runis means a continual expansion that’s what it means. So when you
find yourself in the place where your consciousness is bringing
forth deeper levels of life, deeper levels of joy, peace providence
grace magnificence glory and you can tell that its god when you are
laughing hard. So we begin to get the qualities of the abundance of
god and then we go ok this is the context of heaven and arriving in
heaven is to arrive in a context of an ever expansion from that
place, its not to get some where its to get into the context of the
ever expansion. Because when you start to use your abundance because
you are now working in the context I can ask God for a line item and
I can ask God for the whole spreadsheet. And line items get my
attention and what were saying is no, no, let the context keep your
attention because every time you go to a line item you become a
creator of line item fulfillment when you stay high your keep
inviting the context, your attention goes to the line item sure
because calendar dates come and go but because you are not doing the
work of creating abundance consciousness and that is the only thing
that will create abundance because you are doing the work of doing
abundance you constantly notice you are going into content and that
is not what you mean and you come back to context. Because what do
you know for sure about content, what do you know for sure about
content it is always changing and that is very wise and that means
there is always more coming. Because after ecstasy the laundry,
before abundance wash dishes after abundance wash dishes right? Your
content is always going to be coming so if you want to become a
fielder of content you are going to be busy and at some point your
going to lose your exuberance because you have been contenting God
is and I’ll catch god here and there and what ever you do don’t find
out I’m getting tired of doing this. That was better than just being
a victim and being splashed around by it all but I don’t think
that’s what we mean by abundance.
How about I dance with the divine and you take care of the
spreadsheet and this is a totally different dance so here is what we
know so go back to brain so that you understand. What we now know
about the brain is ninety percent of what we know about neuro
science we have learned in the last ten years and that means that
most of us don’t know about it and so what we know about the neuro
synapses is to reset them it takes about 28 or 30 days, physical
fact it takes the inurisha of intention held in place in other words
we have a good intention one day and we forget about it the next
day, no it has to be held in place for 28 days to affect a change in
the brain. Once it affects the change in your brain then you don’t
have to be arguing with your old pattern anymore. We go well I’m
exploring this idea of consciousness and that was good and then we
get batted around and we go don’t want to explore consciousness
anymore and we wonder why it doesn’t affect such a radical change in
our lives when for 28 days we did go to places where we needed to
park so it was easy to practice getting parking places because I was
going everyday and reminding myself god is all parking places, god
provides for me, and we keep reminding ourselves until after 28 days
of doing that when I pulled into Target the other day as I was in
the left turn lane waiting to get there and I was seeing the thing
happening in the parking lot I just said out loud in my car as I
talk to god all the time I said my beloved I have no idea which way
to go and so your going to have to tell me and that is what I said
as I made the left turn and I went right past where everyone was
going and on the side of the building there were three parking
places sitting there for me and I said oh I only needed one and
thank you.
I said I only needed one and with cars pouring in and out of the lot
but I said before I got in there so can you see that having your
prayer answered before you even arrive in the lot, isn’t it the same
as before you even ask it shall be given unto you right? Before I
even arrive in the lot it was already answered and I went straight
to it and isn’t that a reflection of abundance? So once I get an
abundance consciousness it doesn’t just work on my spreadsheet it
works in so many areas beyond my spreadsheet because there is
something called the law of attraction.
When I start attracting abundance guess what I attract? More
abundance and that is how it works in every area of your life. Start
your brain to start working with you and it has never been trying to
work against you it set those programs because you programmed it
that way, it did not know you were setting programs and you can
reset the programs but it is much easier if you reset the programs
in relationship with the divine. Because the challenge you’re having
with abundance is not really an abundance challenge it’s a belief
challenge.
As much as I know about the abundance of god and as much as I have
talked about the abundance of God I can look at my life and say as
wealthy as my life is and I also mean thank you god for my wealth
and I also mean wealth and money too. I’m not saying my not having
money doesn’t cause me not to be deathly, do you see the difference?
But I now need to clarify my consciousness that I want my wealth to
include money also and so I have to go back and work consistently
and hold a higher vision for myself because as I’m holding that
higher vision everyday I work on my higher vision I’m reframing
those synapses in my brain You don’t have to go brain heart pump its
done unto you but that is physiologically what is happening so that
is why it sometimes feels like were pushing against something and we
are we are pushing against the structure that we in adversely got
set which determines what happens to the information whether
abundance comes in me as abundance and comes out as abundance or
whether abundance comes to me and goes through my filters and
constrictions and comes out as a constricted thing. You see God’s
abundance is never going anywhere it’s you and your belief in your
right to tap god’s abundance that’s the challenge. You say well I
can’t have the abundance because I don’t have the money in my
account but were not talking about your account, were talking about
god’s account. The divine account is full of everything and cannot
be used up and so what is showing up is your belief and
interestingly enough what is showing up for us is our non belief in
either the abundance of god or our capacity to tap into the
abundance of god, which would literally mean I touch myself and say
I AM and that means I am something other than the only life that is
which is impossible but that is how we translate it in our mind. Not
little old me because as soon as I said little old me I’m saying I
am something other than the life that is. And we see that my
fundamental problem is not an abundance problem at all my god I have
manifested in my life a spiritual dilemma and I have used money as
the way I have gotten into the position to see it.
Now I pause for a moment and there might be other people in this
room who use health to accomplish exactly the same thing. I did, not
once, not twice but twice I took myself to the edge of life in order
to claim the life that was in me, do you have to do it that way? Did
anybody other than me prosper from my making that difficult
struggle? Not at the time and so I created and again what we don’t
want to do is expanding your awareness in consciousness because you
do not want to whack yourself with your little invisible hammer and
whack on yourself for all the bad deeds that you miscreated. Just
put the hammer down and create what you mean, that’s the best thing.
I often say the Catholics say they are the best at guilt and the
Jews say they are even better at guilt than the Catholics and I say
do you know the difference between new thought guilt Jewish guilt
and Catholic guilt the answer is none. It won’t do you any good its
like worry is a negative form of prayer in any religion. Worry is a
negative form of prayer and it is simply not good for you.
Now if you condition yourself to worry because you are afraid now
you see your problem is not an abundance problem its’ a fear
problem. The problem is not really an abundance problem it’s a faith
issue and the only abundance you can ever really have is the
abundance that comes from your faith because any other abundance
will be temporal. The one that comes from your faith is yours its
the real abundance and so you may have issues around a practice, how
to engage it when you don’t know how to practice better that is why
the living spirit through all of us created this very center so that
we could have a place where we could do the work that would
literally create the abundance that we mean and the abundance that
we mean is a contextual abundance because the content will forever
be flowing to you and through you. And so my abundance is in that
level of my content of how everything comes to me. Henry Thoreau
said it is not what you look at, its what you see. What are you
seeing as you look at the abundance in the universe?
So as the beginning that is the end of this section of work and 2009
is just a new beginning, a new level as we celebrate all the light
that we have known on this holiday and we are going to take this
light to shift from dealing so much with content to dealing with a
higher context of the greatness of who I am. Are you willing to deal
with a higher context, say I am willing to deal with the greatness
of who I am? That is a big choice. And your consciousness is rising
and that’s the place from which all of your abundance now and
forever more.
Namaste................................
