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!
