First, your creed should always be: "Abundance is My Natural Birthright".
As inhabitants of our beautiful planet, all we have to do is look around to
see that abundance is our natural birthright. Nature is magnificently
abundant; rich in color, growth and expansion. There is no scarcity on this
planet, except that which exists in our minds.
The belief in scarcity is fundamentally unsound, yet it persists throughout
society. All wars, crimes, vandalism, and poverty exist purely due to the
belief in scarcity. On an individual level, extensive research has shown that
money is the primary issue about which most couples argue. Consumer debt is
the highest it's ever been. Ninety-five percent of businesses close down
within their first five years of operation. All this is due to the solitary
reason that we believe there is not enough to go around. Not enough money,
love, opportunities, resources, or time.
We often justify our lack by making abundance wrong. "Money causes greed".
"It's not spiritual to be rich". If we believe that rich people are greedy or
non-spiritual then we automatically prevent ourselves from tapping into our
vast resources of creativity to become wealthy. Money does not cause greed -
scarcity does. It is only when we think that there is not enough to be shared
by all, that we resort to arguing and fighting over money or other perceived
'scarce' resources. A Course In Miracles states, "In a world of scarcity, love
is meaningless and peace is impossible".
So why do we allow ourselves to believe in scarcity and lead meager or
purposeless lives?
Carl Jung (1875-1961), the Swiss psychologist and former colleague of
Sigmund Freud, broke away from Freudian psychoanalysis over the issue of the
'unconscious mind'. Jung was one of the first Westerners who introduced the
world to the understanding of the three main levels of the mind: the conscious
mind, the sub-conscious mind and the super-conscious or 'collective
unconscious'. Combined with numerous research and empirical studies, we now
know that the subconscious mind (which is divided into several layers) is
actually designed to deliver what our conscious mind wants. The problem is,
however, that our emotional memories are stored in the first level of the
subconscious mind. These memories include all our negative beliefs, thoughts
and past experiences. For example, when our conscious mind says, "I want a new
car", the thought pattern is immediately sent to the subconscious to deliver a
new car. If, however, there is a negative belief stored in the emotional layer
of the subconscious that says "I don't deserve a new car", then the thought
pattern is immediately rejected.
Although this is a simplistic example, it demonstrates how our unconscious
negative patterns, thoughts and beliefs are responsible for creating
limitation and scarcity. Therefore, if we eliminate these limiting beliefs
about ourselves and our existences, there are virtually no limits to what we
can have or do.
When we access the experiences that initially created the negative thoughts
held in the subconscious mind and clear the blockages, then over time, as we
clear the emotional layer, we eventually reach the blissful state of our
super-consciousness, which is divine love, creativity, enlightenment and
abundance.
Limiting beliefs and painful experiences gradually build up energy that
becomes stuck. Think of something you would like but have had great difficulty
in manifesting, and you will immediately feel this 'barrier' of energy. Feel
its resistance. It often feels like a brick wall. This is simply compressed
negative energy.
Robert Kiyosaki has said that you can only have in your life what your
'context' can contain. Context is like a container; content refers to what you
can fit into the container. If your context is as small as a pebble then the
content, or what you allow yourself to have, will be minuscule.
There are two methods that we can use to eliminate the negative emotions,
thoughts and beliefs that block abundance from entering our lives. They are
called Subtractive and Additive processes. Subtractive processes include
modalities such as breathwork, transcendental meditation, or past live
regression. Additive processes include goal setting, creative visualisation,
treasure mapping or affirmations. We need both in order to, firstly, eliminate
the negative programming that is stored in our subconscious, and then
secondly, use the additive processes to create new, positive thoughts and
beliefs.
When we follow a path that includes both subtractive and additive
processes, we can live an abundant life. However, we must remind ourselves
that this is a path, not a quick fix. We need to allow ourselves time and
dedicate ourselves to a long-term commitment to love, joy and prosperity in
all areas.
There is a wonderful quote from the book, "Creating Money" by S. Roman and
D. Packer, which says, "It takes time for the new to come, and many of you
quit too soon".
