This email is in response to a friend who wants very, very much to have abundance in his life. He is doing everything he can think of to create this abundance according to conscious creation methodologies, but is anxious that he might be missing something crucial.

Dear Abundance Seeker

I feel a big push in your energy towards having more abundance, and this is wonderful, powerful energy. But as you mentioned this may also indicate a focus on NOT being abundant.

It is a big step to realize that where we are, here and now, is not the enemy! In fact where we are, here and now, IS the abundance we are seeking if we can only relax our energy and accept ourselves and our potentials. Here and now, from an expanded viewpoint, is really all we've got! [And there's lots of it!]

Here and now is everything we could ever dream of, and when we reject our here and now as not enough, we reject ourselves and our potential! So in your passion to create abundance, to have something other than what you have in this moment, you are literally rejecting your own abundance! We are such marvelous beings that out of our unlimited abundance, we can even produce lack if we choose to focus on it!

[In the same way, our freedom is so unlimited that by carefully and vigilantly controlling the focus of our attention, we can even create powerlessness and victimhood. Such is our power.]

I know this sounds a bit silly, but only by accepting our present self and our present now as an expression of our unlimited abundance, can we start to allow the universe (which is US) to offer ourselves more, perhaps in a configuration that better suits who we are becoming. As long as we reject ourselves and our nows, we have tied our own hands, so to speak, and cannot then allow the universe to offer us more of what we want.

The practical way to do this is to start choosing, in our here and nows, to appreciate the abundance we find in and around ourselves, and stop rejecting all of this as not enough. This change in our energy will slowly transform our experience and show us ways to allow more of what we want.

The pathway to more abundance is paved with noticing and appreciating the abundance we already have in our heres and nows, not by building frustration and anxiety by continually rejecting our heres and nows, and focusing on the absence of what we want.

How does this look in everyday terms? Make it a point several times in a day to take a deep breath and appreciate the abundance of air and the sweetness of filling your lungs with it. Notice and revel in the experience of enough air - way more than enough air! - for ourselves and everyone on the planet.

Notice how sweetly and gently we provide ourselves with all the necessities of beingness. We have an abundance of desire, an abundance of feeling, an abundance of potential, and an abundance of time and space to create whatever we want.

Notice especially that there is more than enough YOU! As you begin to appreciate yourself, you will find that the amount of ‘you’ that rises up to be appreciated too, is literally endless and extremely revelatory!

From these new perspectives, notice and appreciate all of your feelings of lack too, honoring the fact that your potentials and resources are so unlimited that you can even produce an abundance of lack!
