OPEN YOUR HEART UP TO ABUNDANCE
Do you see all the abundance around you? How many trees and
flowers and birds and blades of grass can you count? There
is abundance everywhere! And yet most of us fail to see and
allow it into our experience because we tend to focus on
what is wrong, what is missing, or what we don't have-our
attention is on the multitude of unfulfilled desires that
our senses continuously produce and the external world
reinforces.
Infinite Consciousness knows no limitations; only the ego
does because it has a self-restraining nature and cannot
perceive anything beyond its limited existence. Think about
this for a minute.
The nature and purpose of the ego is to keep you trapped in the
illusion of individuality to experience life in human physical form;
that is, to prevent you from seeing how everything and everyone is
connected and how in reality we are one and the same Infinite
Consciousness manifesting in a myriad forms and shapes and
colors.
The mind is a vehicle of infinite creative potential, but
the ego filters that potentiality to keep the sense of
individuality and maintain you "safe" in the same emotional
place you found yourself when you were a young kid. Why?
Because it was back then that your tendencies and
impressions (and your interpretation of life) were "set" as
your psychological foundation.
Now, why wouldn't the ego simply stretch as we grow up so
that our physical, mental, and emotional growth would be
harmoniously in synch without any aspect getting stuck
anywhere?
As a matter of fact, that ideal growth model is what psychologists
use as a point of reference and aim for: they want us moving forward
emotionally to function and integrate in the world. Heck, if we could
grow emotionally in the same manner we grow physically, that is, without
any effort or even thinking about it, we'd be all set and happy,
right?
Transcending the Illusion of Me, Myself and Mine
The truth is that, at least where we are in this highly
dysfunctional world, without the effort it takes to grow and
resolve our mental and emotional issues to transcend the
ego-mind, there would be no vibrational contrast and no
consciousness expansion to help us move beyond the
dysfunction. In reality, this is what we are here to do
because it is what this human experience is ultimately all
about: consciousness, expansion, and transcendence.
The ego wants you to believe that life is about
self-gratification, but that is an illusion that cannot
bring you peace and happiness. Every time you satisfy a
desire, another one pops up; every time you identify with
your desire, you get attached to the object of your desire;
and if you cannot satisfy the desire, you suffer because of
your attachment. Yet if you let go of the attachment, the
suffering disappears and the desire-if true, or aligned with
your true purpose-actually manifests, simply because it's
part of who you really are.
The ego identifies with and gets attached to the environment
and to the desires created by the physical senses to
maintain the illusion of individuality (the Me, Myself,
Mine). Yet we are not just our physical body or even our
psyche: we are consciousness in expansion. So being a
socially functioning, emotionally grown up, and successful
individual is not necessarily enough to find happiness.
This is why some celebrities can have absolutely everything
they desire and still live miserable lives while poor saints
and yogis can reach enlightenment and experience absolute
peace without even dealing with their psychological makeup.
They dissolve the barriers of the ego through mental
self-discipline, self-knowledge, and the absolute focus (or
faith) of merging with the Self, God, or Infinite
Consciousness. What gets them to fulfill their purpose is
their undeterred determination.
Transcending Illusion, Fear and Disappointment
What does this have to do with abundance? Well, attaining
what you truly desire, be it abundance or success or love,
or anything at all, follows the exact same process as
enlightenment, although it demands less effort: it requires
your undeterred intention, determination, and focus. Opening
up and allowing abundance or love or anything you want into
your experience means removing absolutely everything that
gets in the way, which in fact translates as relentlessly
dissolving the ego-being in the NOW.
In order to grow internally, you may have to ignore the
collective reality and in spite of it all, agree to do
things that perhaps make you feel completely stupid or
naive: to open your heart all the way and give yourself
permission to be vulnerable and passionate and idealistic,
and to believe and trust in something that no one else
around you can see or believe in. You must hold fast to your
vision, no matter how many times "reality" brings you down
and crushes your heart.
You may experience breakdowns, periods of extreme doubt, and
painful crises of faith. Yet no matter how many times you
fall, you have to get up and open up again, and allow the
flow of love (i.e., abundance, insight, wisdom) to continue
and expand, even if it looks like you're just hitting walls
and watching and enduring only pain inside and around you.
You have to continue and trust and believe that things will
get better. Because they will.
If you have been going through this self-exploration and
growing process for a while, you are probably experiencing
that it is all beginning to pay off, even if it still feels
like an endless proposition. And if you are just getting
started, well, you are in luck. Divine support is becoming
clearer everyday and our sense of self and purpose is also
getting stronger, no matter what the external reality. But
the inner work can no longer be avoided.
You Have to Believe In Order to Perceive Abundance
A portal of abundance is opening up now and will continue
expanding in the months and years ahead for those ready to
receive it, so the more you open your heart through
gratitude for and appreciation of what you have, the more
you will allow it into your experience. It is time to stop
holding on to your disappointments and remember the
countless times and ways that Consciousness (Spirit, Source,
God, etc.) has come through for you and supported you in
your endeavors, dreams, and projects.
Do not allow old limiting beliefs from family members,
friends, and the mass media to invade your mental field, and
instead open up to the internal knowing that everything will
be alright, that you will always be supported, and that
abundance-like Infinite Consciousness-is here and now and
everywhere for everyone. You just need to remove what is
preventing you from experiencing it.
The channels of abundance are indeed opening, even if we
can't see the bigger picture yet. Now, are you ready to open
your heart up to a higher perception of the world and
dismiss the ego-mind that tries to hold you to the past and
limit your perception to "what is" and "what has been," to
really start welcoming better things into your life?
Isn't it time to break free from the beliefs that hold you
back and the illusions that veil your true sense of self and
prevent you from living a joyful and abundant life?
You deserve to live a life filled with abundance. Don't let
anything hold you back.
