The Power Money Cannot Buy But True Self-Awareness Produces

When we understand true self-awareness, we understand our true self-worth.  And this consciousness is powerful.  It is the power money cannot buy.

But Now I See!

The power money cannot buy but true self-awareness produces is the power of the Visionary’s Insight.  When you become awaken and unplug your mind power from the energy-zapping illusions of the Matrix and its programs and systems, then you become like Neo, the One.  You become the Oneness Blessing and your true self-awareness grows and expands into a self-worth money can’t buy.

This state of true self-awareness springs from the field of infinite creativity and infinite possibilities.  Without true self-awareness and spiritual awakening to oneness, we really don’t know our worth and our power.  In this field of pure consciousness , we rise like a lotus from murky waters.  The inherent qualities of this field are bliss, wonder, freedom, and wealth. 

Not so long ago, I asked the question, “Can Creativity Pay My Bills?”  The answer I received from Divine Intelligence is, “Yes, if you want it too.”  Too much time and energy has been placed on external sources of power which can be sold to the highest bidder in the Matrix.  And those who trade in external sources of power live by the code “you up one day and down the next.”  However, those of us who have discovered the power money can’t buy have awakened and we know that true self-awareness can produce creativity and creative freedom that will make you rich. 

The programs and systems of the Matrix will have you believe that you could never have such control in this holographic time-space-reality network.  The programs of the Matrix will have you to believe that you can only succeed in life through its programs and systems. 

It is when you awaken and walk the path of enlightenment that you discover the power that money cannot buy.  A power so strong you become certain—faithful to the voice of your Soul. 

In this faith and certainty, you live in such a profound way that abundance and creativity flows naturally and without resistance in your life.  You become the happiness,  prosperity, and success you once searched for.  And this is the Visionary’s Insight.

Every one of us who has awakened and who listens to the voice of our Soul sees beyond the Matrix knows the Visionary’s Insight.  We know what it is to see into the Absolute Reality or the Substantial Reality.  We know why it is said that “all things are created Spiritual Realm, first.”  We know what it is to live fearlessly without the limitations and fetters of the ego.  We have left the object-reference programs and we have realized the True Self and spirit-reference life which hears the voice of the Soul. 

And the voice is so loving, pure, and good that it transforms all of the fears we have into faith, love, passion, joy, and self-worth.  The voice of our Soul reminds us of who we really are and why we are here.  It increases our vibration to a state of Charisma which magnetizes us at a subatomic level and it transmits and radiates love, beauty, luminosity, and inspiration. Now, how much is that worth?

Creative Freedom and the Flow of Abundance from Pure Consciousness

An old 70’s funk song’s belts out the lyrics, “I want to be free.”  Do you know what I am talking about?  I am talking about creative freedom and the flow of abundance from pure consciousness.  Pure consciousness allows us to create what we truly desire in this holographic time-space-reality network.

I want to be free!

It is the goal and greatest desire of the Soul to live fearlessly—to live with the expectancy of ever-increasing good, freedom, love, abundance, expansion, and growth.   Pure consciousness, which is granted by enlightenment, is the elixir that frees us from the bondages, fetters, and illusions of the ego.  The illusion we live  and struggle through if we allow our Soul to be trapped in the programs and systems of the Matrix.

Pure consciousness is what allows us to live in a continued expansion of happiness, creative freedom, and the flow of abundance.  Creative freedom, the flow of abundance, and happiness is not a program.  Happiness is a state of being.  Creative freedom is an expression of who we really are, infinite creative potential.  The flow of abundance is the movement and rhythm of our true nature which is that of abundance. 

The Visionary’s Insights grows in a state of happiness, creative freedom and expression, and in the flow of abundance.  Pure consciousness makes it all possible.  

To expound on this truth, we must understand that there is no separation between who we really are—the true and authentic self, the Soul—and The Source of ALL-That-Is.  When we receive the Oneness Blessing or the Holy Spirit, we live in pure consciousness and we open our lives to the infinite possibilities of creative freedom and the flow of abundance. 

As we live in pure consciousness, our need for acceptance becomes true self-realization and our light shines.  We develop and expand this light and the light becomes so luminous that we ourselves become lightworkers with a Visionary’s Insight, intuition, foresight, awareness, and power. 

All lightworkers know the power of pure consciousness, the Oneness Blessing, and how it frees you creatively.  The power of pure consciousness frees you from resistance and you find it unnecessary to be attached to anything or anyone.  Now, living without attachments doesn’t mean we are living without love, but instead we are living in unconditional love which is the prime source of pure consciousness.

As unconditional love flows through us, we become this wonderful state of being (pure consciousness) by letting go of the ego and listening to the voice of the Soul.  We become this wonderful state when we realize that the programs and systems of the Matrix are but an illusion and we are not trapped. 

As we become this wonderful state we live in creative freedom and the flow of abundance because we have allowed the Creative Spirit to move us.  With each move, we make a Quantum Leap into true self-awareness, ever-increase good, and continuous spiritual evolution and the light within us to shine brighter and brighter. 

Motivation and Inspiration to Live on Purpose

We all have to find the motivation and inspiration to live life on purpose.  The power to will and co-create our reality is living with purpose on purpose. 

The decision to co-create your reality rather than be a victim of circumstance or a child of chance can be difficult when the world around you tells you that its systems and customs are the only way to achieve success in life.  When one decides to co-create their reality, he or she has to re-evaluate goals, intentions, and desires while focusing on what really matters in life.

Often times, when one says the word “purpose” some people get frantic and wonder, “how do I know what my purpose is.”  At Blue Lotus Living, we answer this very simply, “You give your life purpose.” 

And just what do we mean by “you give your life purpose?”  Life purpose is the child or offspring to the Soul Purpose.  Our Soul Purpose is to expand, create, cultivate, and enrich life by becoming more of who we really are and what we really are in our truest nature is abundance and infinite creative power.  That’s who we are.  Therefore, as we go through our life, we discover purpose for our life force energy—yes we purpose our creative power.  We accomplish this by probing our lives and determining what brings us joy and elation, how we want to serve humanity, and how do we want to expand life on this plane of existence. 

Although teachings and information can inspire us and inform us about our power, no one else can give us the answers to these questions.  We must desire to know and through our desire we will determine these answers for ourselves.

 Accordingly, at Blue Lotus Living, it has never been the desire or intention of our community to determine these answers for anyone but rather to inform people and inspire people to desire to know these answers for themselves without the influence of others (that includes us).  We want you to know your power as a co-creator.

 It is for this reason we call our community Blue Lotus Living.  We call it Blue Lotus Living because we hope that what we share will help everyone to rise up and live life in full bloom and his requires that one knows that he or she is infinite creative power and abundance. 

If we all live this way and let this be our reality and continue to allow inspiration to flow through us from the Creative Spirit, then we will find that The Most High Source of ALL Creation cannot be separate from us and through this realization (the only reality there is—the Absolute Reality) we discover our true power and just how infinite this power is.

 It’s easy enough to dream and plan according to the systems, customs, and cultures our society has already put in place, but it takes great courage, desire, and determination to live as a co-creator and maintain the motivation to live life on purpose.  I do not in any way seek to minimize the importance of dreams and aspirations because it is when we do not limit our dreams and aspirations that we are living as co-creators. 

However, we must be brave enough to expand our dreams, plans, and aspirations beyond the limitations of our systems, cultures, and customs.  Your dreams and visions cannot be limited to the house you own, the car you drive, and where you vacation twice a year.  These are but simple perks of manifestation resulting from living on purpose.  If we look deeper within ourselves and listen to the voice of the soul, we will realize that these simple manifestations of focused intentions are not the dream itself.  Often times when we limit our dreams and life aspirations to these simple manifestations, we suffer from discontent, and despair.    

At Blue Lotus Living, we are always hoping that through our writings and teachings, we are inspiring people to dream big and then dream bigger and just when it seems like you realized the biggest dream ever, you dream even bigger than that and actualize it.  This ever-increasing power to actualize one’s dreams is expansion and expansion is living a limitless life with unlimited possibilities.   

As we share workshops, performances, writings, and teachings, Roslyn and I hope that every person can see their own unlimited and infinite possibilities.  For it is in the realm of infinite possibilities that we create life as co-creators with and as the Source of ALL Creation works through us as Willing Vessels. 

So let’s live beyond the limitations of our societal systems and really invoke and evoke our power as co-creators all while allowing the Creative Spirit to move us on purpose.

Nothing Can Bring You Peace but Yourself…Peace and Harmony Begins Within and in This Very Moment

A quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson states that “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.”  If we are to believe this quote, then we realize that peace and harmony begins within. 

To support this principle, “Peace Be Still” is a beautiful scripture which can stand on its own and describe the harmony and well-being that is always available to us from our loving and abundant Universe.  Peace is literally a place within us where harmony and order flow from the well of our being and thus creates well-being in our reality.

It is all too often that our day to day worries and fears block the flow of this well-being in our lives.  We cannot draw from this well of peace and harmony because we block it with our resistance to life.  We block our resistance to life because we are always trying to get to some “future” event and not allowing ourselves to “be” in the Presence. 

Before rediscovering (because we all once knew) the path of enlightenment which dwells within and the peace it provides, I, personally, remember being unable to enjoy the moment because it always seemed as if some future event would be greater and make me happier than what I was experiencing in the present moment. 

When you grow, develop, and evolve on the path of enlightenment as I did, you discover that this moment, this very moment is the greatest moment ever. No other moment in the past or in the future is greater than this moment. 

When we allow the well-being of the Universe to flow into every moment of our lives with gratitude and appreciation, we tap into the field of infinite possibilities by way of the Law of Mentalism.  With mental well-being, we are able to transmute this energy into wealth, joy, and success.  As we transmute the energy of wealth, joy, and success in our lives it becomes our ability to prosper or our power to increase and create more life.  By way of the law of attraction, those of us who can transmute this energy and maintain our ability to prosper will attract money, riches and good fortune in our lives. 

And yes, it begins with “Peace Be Still.”  This stillness is the acceptance of each moment as it is and this acceptance allows well-being to flow without resistance.  As a result of this continual flow (which is abundance) we experience the increase of optimal health, peace, order, love, devotion, wealth, success, wisdom, and knowledge in our lives. 

“Peace Be Still” is the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Oneness Blessing at work orchestrating the details.  Those of us on the path of enlightenment value peace beyond all things because we know that it is peace and harmony in this very moment which makes all good possible. 

Some among us are trying desperately to manifest their desires.  They are striving and struggling and suffering to have the very things they already have.  All things are available to us in the present moment, yes, in the Presence.  To be in the present moment is to be in the presence of God, Source Energy, The ALL in All.  When we are in the Presence we are in the presence of all-power and all-knowingness.  The ability for all things we desire to manifest in our reality is in the Presence and it is peace which allows you to remain in the Presence.  

With this wisdom, we must realize that lusting things as if they will never happen, dreading the moment because we so desperately want to be in our perceived “perfect future”, will not conjure the power to manifest nor shall it empower you with the ability to “will” those things you desire in your reality.

As we always say at Blue Lotus Living, the present is a gift.  You will find your gift in the present moment.  Therefore, show up here and now in the present moment and receive the keys to the kingdom. 

Purpose and Intentions – The Energy behind the Unformed Stuff

We are continuously tapping into that unformed stuff.  This in itself is the art and science of being and becoming.  We identify this as being and becoming because the unformed stuff is being while it is becoming as we press upon it with purposed intentions.  This formable unformed stuff is in the universe as creative potential or dark matter, but also this formable unformed stuff is the creative potential which lies dormant in all us until we use it. 

As it goes unused, we feel purposeless and limited.  This purposeless and limited feeling surfaces in our emotional consciousness when we “feel” like we are not moving or prospering; hence, we feel this way because we are not becoming more—we are not creating or moving forward.  We feel this way because we have fallen victim to stagnation and complacency.

There are those among us who feel this stagnation regularly and feel their lives have no purpose.  For this reason, Roslyn and I are so “intent” on demonstrating the power of the Creative Spirit and teaching others to “let the Creative Spirit move.” Why?  Because in the art and science of being and becoming is something so loving, tender, and passionate and that something is your true and authentic desire which is constantly being aroused by the impulse to create.

This may all sound romantic, but we all feel the urge to create and become more.  That in and of itself is why we are here and who we really are—we are creators who have partnered with the universe to co-create more good, more productivity, more beauty, and more life.  We are conductors, vessels, and wells for creating, manifesting, and stimulating more life.  The level of our vibrancy to create more life and manifesting good is based on our purpose and intentions.

To begin this process, we must know our purpose for wanting what we want in life.  However, this would require that we have a vision for that which we desire and this is where it gets difficult for many of us on the path of enlightenment.  You see, for some unknown and extremely erroneous reasons, many among us think that we are “sinful,” bad, or undeserving of our desires.  With this guilt and regression hovering over the unformed stuff of the universe (our creative potential), the potency of our desire is diminished to do what it can so powerfully do.  In other words, we get so caught up in our guilt and regret about what we want, we can’t get a clear enough picture from the universe to map out the creation process.

This creates a barrier which makes it thoroughly difficult for us to manifest “through us” what we truly desire.  It is similar to trying to create a sculpture with hardened crumbling clay—yes; it is difficult to form, if not un-formable. 

This is why we emphasize that what the unformed stuff of the universe “becomes and what we create is determined by the energy behind its use.” Again, that energy is called The Energy of purpose and the power of intentions.  The Energy of purpose and the power of intentions are not tangible.  However, the law of purpose and intention is what motivates us.  It is why we do what we do and why we desire what we desire. 

In fact, what we create is only a reflection of what we are allowing ourselves to desire.  So, in order to effectively create anything in the material world, we must know what our true desire is in all things.  In order to know what it is, we must have a vision for it. 

Living in Abundance on Alkalizing Raw Foods

In studying Universal Laws of Abundance, it is vital to take care to not neglect the health and wellness aspect of the law.  When individuals choose to study Divine Laws such as, the Law of Giving, the Law Attraction, the Law of Abundance, an eagerness to see the manifestation of the material aspect of wealth is usually the driving force.  But how many realize that if one fails to achieve good health or neglects to understand the importance of having an alkaline living food diet, then the abundance and enjoyment of money will be short lived?  Becoming holistic encompasses the “whole” self uniting in harmony with each part—body, mind, and spirit.  Entrepreneurs also have much to gain when incorporating more raw and living foods into one’s diet.  Living foods encourage mental clarity, while leaving one with a greater sense of focus and stamina.

Think of your body the way a farmer tills the soil.  Your body, just like the soil of the earth, extracts nutrients from the food it’s given.  Enzymes, which are found in (living and raw) foods, aid in the process of digestion (transporting nutrients to the cells).  By choosing alkaline rich foods, (foods with a ph level of 7.0 or higher), these foods contain vital and living enzymes which aid in the digestion and the absorption of nutrients. These nutrients are extracted from the food by the body through the process of assimilation.  If the food is alive, then the process of digestion is easier.  The nutrients are then distributed to the cells and then the healing of the body begins. 

“Let thy food be thy medicine” is a proverb that has been used in indigenous cultures all over the world for thousands of years.  But if the food is void of nutrition, then the healing process is compromised.   According to Wellness Educator, Carmellita Brown:

“For the average person, 80% percent of what we eat has no nutritional value.  About 40% of the foods we consume are meats and animal products such as milk, cheese, butter, which have nutrients, but these nutrients do not assimilate well in the Human body.  We eat it because we enjoy the way it tastes and because it gives us a temporary sense of fullness.  The other 40% is processed foods such as pastas, breads, canned foods, and frozen foods.  Only about 20% of what we eat is actually raw fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds.  This ratio not only promotes anaerobic pathogens, it also causes obesity, nerve damage, allergies, and stress.”

Making simple dietary changes need not be painful.   For many of us, there is a very real fear of becoming socially isolated and deprived of good tasting food because of changes in dietary choices. Taste is important and does not have to be discarded when making a selection of good healthful foods.  The days of the Scarsdale Diet are over.  You don’t have to eat bland, tasteless, putrid looking foods in order to achieve optimal health.  Here is a recipe that includes a few key foods that can be incorporated into any diet:

1 head of red leaf lettuce
1 cucumber
2 whole tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
2 avocados
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons of Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Season to taste with dill weed, sea salt, and basil (dry or fresh)
Dash of Celtic “gray” Sea Salt to taste

Chop lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber.  Finely mince garlic and mix together.  Slice avocados into strips.  Add dill weed, salt, and basil and toss all ingredients together.  You may add hot peppers to your liking  (Serrano, habanero, jalapeno) for a thermogenic effect.  Enjoy

The dill mixed with the avocado will give a rich, creamy, and buttery type taste to the salad. Enjoy the many therapeutic proprieties of the food such as, apple cider vinegar (raising metabolism, cutting appetite), tomatoes (cancer fighting agent) and garlic (reduces high blood pressure).

There’s no need to be in conflict when choosing good, healthful foods.  Here a few tips to keep in mind.  When incorporating holistic foods into the diet always:

1.  Remember when choosing foods, don’t be afraid of Green.
Green is associated with prosperity and growth.  Romaine Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Bok Choy are enzyme rich, low calorie foods that can be the base of any salad.  Imagine the leafy leaves of lettuce flushing away toxins.
 
2. Don’t let too much brown hang around
Unless it’s brown because it’s a raw nut, seed, or grain, more than likely the thing you are looking at is a “dead” processed or fried food.  Remember processed foods have “0” nutritional value; meaning that over time it physically wears and tears down the body.

3. If the label is too long, put it down
Additives and foreign agents are usually included in foods with lengthy labels.  The body won’t recognize those chemicals and therefore will not be able to digest them.

4.  Add fruit for breakfast
Don’t be afraid to experiment.  Nature has given humanity thousands of exotic fruits to choose from.  Apples, oranges, and bananas are fine, but Mangos, Bosc Pears, black plums, passion fruit, and papayas are a great way to start off any day.

Making small steps towards optimal health need not be taxing or painful.  The earth is plentiful. And as you begin to take steps towards your health, Abundance of the mind, body, and Spirit will be achieved.

The Spiritual Tools of Creative Visualization and Imagination for Creating Abundance

We can not emphasize enought at Blue Lotus Living that living abundantly is our divine right. There is abundance all around us and what is even more powerful is that we have the ability to create abundance in our lives. In fact, abundance and opulence is a Universal Law and a Spiritual Law. However, how can we experience abundance if we are unable to see it?

The greatest gift given to us for creating abundance is our imagination. We use our imagination in many detrimental ways throughout the day. We imagine what we will say to our boss if he gets on our backs one more time. We play it out with anger and intensity and it feels as if we have had the experience. Now think about it, do we really want to fight with our boss, again?

Many of us spend too much time imagining the things we do not want. We forget to go within and see more. Honestly, we can only have what we believe and we will never believe it until we see it. Imagine what could happen if we used this gift to create what we truly desire instead of what we really hope will never happen. Imagination and visualization are tools to create abundance. Together, they have emotion. They intensify desire. They have power.

How can we spark the imagination? Some of the best and most creative times happen when we read, study, and write. Our imagination is fertilized by these three spectacular actions.

First, reading and visualization used together are very powerful. As you read and visualize information, it will help you to see more and spark your imagination. Now, what would happen if we read information related to what we truly desire?

Here is what would happen. From this information, we will get language, words, and phrases associated with what we truly desire. For example, if we desire a new home, then we should read about home ownership and home improvement. Then suddenly, we will start to have imaginations about owning a home. With this, we will find ourselves imagining and visualizing of how the home looks, how the landscape looks, or even how the kitchen looks. This spark will ignite a fire that will send our creative energies to attract what we are visualizing and imagining.

Second, studying takes the imagination even further and your imagination and visualizations become more vivid. For example, studying about homeownership by taking a homeownership course or class will expand your imagination in such a way that it becomes more vivid and the feelings intensify. Furthermore, by studying, you step in to the process of manifestation called realization. When it becomes real to you, you feel it, and the universe then orchestrates the details.

Third, writing about it as if it were so, puts you into creative mode which sparks right action. When you write it down as if it were so, you are living the experience right now and your subconscious mind will enjoy this experience and will work with your conscious mind to bring this to fruition; therefore, your actions will line up with your imaginations and visualizations.

Consequently, it is true that if you imagine nothing, you will create only by default and who knows what that will manifest. So, if you desire more, see more and your imagination and visualizations will help you create abundance in your life.

Material Wealth and the Four Groups of People that Fear Abundance

First, some people believe that abundance and wealth would only lead to corruption and destruction of the human spirit. As we explore this error in judgment, we will provide some clarification on this misconception.

The truth is, not one person who is corrupted or on the path of destruction is living abundantly, not one. Abundance is not just about material wealth; however, it does not exclude material wealth.

Abundance is about living in optimal health, vibrancy, and purpose with resources, empowering relationships, and a strong sense of our true self. Material wealth and material riches are a manifestation of mental and spiritual wealth that lies within the individual. As a result of this spiritual and mental wealth, one can only help but to manifest material wealth and that material wealth become material riches.

Accordingly, we should not concern ourselves with the fear that material wealth will corrupt us. Material wealth, including money, will only make you more of what you already are. If you have good character and compassion for others, with material wealth, you will have more good character and more compassion for others. If you are a scoundrel and a cheat, with material wealth, you will be an even bigger scoundrel and a cheat. Therefore, if you are kind, giving, loving, and creative, with your wealth you will be even more kind, giving, loving, and creative while enjoying a life of abundance. If you are insecure, selfish, hoarding, and deceitful, with your wealth, you will be even more insecure, selfish, hoarding, and deceitful while living a life of discontent, sadness, and self-destruction.

Second, there is yet another group of people who fear abundance. Some individuals fear abundance because they believe that abundance will require hours and hours of hard work. The Universal Law of Economy of Force or the Principle of Least Resistance contends that this is just not true. Too many people are spending 16 hour days working, hoping, and praying that soon all their money troubles will be over and they can retire in the Bahamas at 65 years old.

Unfortunately, this is not happening. Recent studies show, that many people have been forced to come out of retirement.

There is a reality check we should cash long before we cash our pay check and this reality check is…We are not supposed to work hard. What? That is right. We are supposed to work creatively. That’s what the human spirit desires. Hard work causes mental and spiritual fatigue and therefore makes mental and spiritual wealth impossible. If we have no mental and spiritual wealth, then we have nothing to show for all our hard work. This fatigue is also the result of our own resistance. Because of this resistance, we interrupt the flow of abundance in our lives and prevent us from being able to create. The truth is we create in our thought world. When we are fatigue, our thought process does not work properly.

In our thought world, during times of stillness and quiet, the Universe whispers plans, inventions, and ideas. These witty plans, inventions, and ideas are a part of the creative energies of the Universe waiting for our higher consciousness to receive it. This is the abundance within us at work.

By stilling the mind in meditation, we discover this knowledge and wisdom as a result of our allowing creative energy to flow. When we act on it, we create wealth. We create freedom. For each of these plans, inventions, ideas serve a purpose and that purpose in to help humanity in some impacting way. Therefore, it is already a demand for your idea. There are millions of people wanting it. All you need is the faith and courage to execute.

As this creative energy continues to flow, your execution will seem effortless. It will seem effortless when you take the time to meditate and determine how each step should be carried out. Before long, you have tapped into the field of infinite possibilities where everything that is possible is possible. You will have opened the flood gates to wealth and success and you will have embarked on the journey to living abundantly.

The third group of individuals who fear abundance are often classified as those who fear success. Amazingly, there are more who are in this group than any other group of people who fear abundance. Those who fear success are have had personal experiences where they have felt responsible for everyone else. This often happens in a family or group dynamic. The individual feels that if he or she succeeds, he or she will have to carry the entire family or group with him. Because this burden is overwhelming, the individual fears success and settles for mediocrity. While this group which fears abundance would be classified as a fear of success, there is a fourth group of those who fear abundance.

The fourth group that fears abundance would be classified as those who fear failure. Again, the Principle of Expectations contends that energy follows thoughts. Therefore, keep thinking it and it will happen…whatever it is. Here is a novel thought. Practice the Universal Law of No Attachments. In this law, you go through the process doing all you can while the Universe handle the details.

All you do is what you know how to do. You stay in meditation. Asking the Universe to show you what you should do next. After you have done it. You step back and let the Universe handle the rest. If the Universe says write a book. The Universe will present you with opportunities to learn what you need to learn to write a book. Then, write the book. You don not worry about how many copies will sell. You don not worry if the audience will like it or not.

Simply do what you know how to do. Meditate. Allow the flow. Expect the best. Gain wisdom in what you are doing. Take each step expecting the best and the best will come. That is abundance in action.

Manifest Abundance – Overcoming Obstacles and the Fear of Abundance

We all want to experience the abundant life.  It is natural to feel this way.  It is natural to have this desire.  There is no question that we have a divine right to live in abundance.  It is law–it is the cosmic, universal, and spiritual law of abundance.  Abundance is truly a divine right. 

The journey to living in abundance is filled with infinite possibilities. However, in some cases for people who desperately want to live in abundance, there may be stumbling blocks or obstacles which cloud your ability to see these possibilities.

So the question for those who are not manifesting their true desires and living in abundance is: “Am I living in complacency because I have a fear of abundance?”  This may sound outrageous because the question then becomes: “Who would not want to live abundantly?”

In light of this, we must explore this dynamic from a spiritual, cosmic, and metaphysical perspective. Polarity is a universal, cosmic, and spiritual law–just as other laws such as the law of abundance, the law of attraction, the law of compensation, and the law of reciprocity. And as the Kybalion states, “Nothing escapes the law.”

The law of polarity contends that everything has its polar opposite. The scales of life assure the existence of polar opposites. The Law of Polarity works in conjunction with the Law of Rhythm. Ultimately the cycle is everything returns where it begins. Like a pendulum swinging, this is how all life works, and with an understanding of these laws, we can now see how the Law of Attraction works. Particularly, we see how the Law of Attraction works in the manifestation process. In other words, those things that begin with good intentions manifest goodness. Those things that begin with enlightenment manifest as beacons of light which release strongholds caused by the fetters of  the ego.  

Abundance is a journey of joy and purpose. Those things that begin with joy and purpose manifest abundance. However, there is a polar opposite to joy and purpose, this polar opposite is fear and complacency.

Everyone who researches the field of human potential, human development, personal development, metaphysics, mysticism, and philosophy at some point crosses the concept of human emotions often called fear. Fear is often coupled with complacency. Some would say that fear and complacency are age old buddies.

As such, it is comfortable for us to talk about complacency and the fear of poverty; however, we ignore our complacency and fear of abundance. The reality is, if you fear poverty and have become complacent in this regard, then you fear its polar opposite which is abundance and have become complacent in this regard as well. If you fear poverty, then you fear wealth and abundance. All these fears congest our lives and we are literally paralyzed.   And that is what fear does, it paralyzes. 

Fear impacts our expectations and complacency causes us to stand still and expect nothing. The Principle of Expectations is linked to the Law of Abundance; hence, the expression, “As a man thinks so he become.”  The Principle of Expectations contends that energy follows thought. If you fear poverty, then somewhere inside, you believe you will live in poverty. Consequently, energy has followed this thought and in due time, your expectation of poverty actualizes.

Now, the connection between the fear of poverty and the fear of abundance begins with complacency. Before taking a deeper probe into this matter, we must end one myth now. There is a myth that there are people who want to live in poverty. No one wants to live in poverty. Poverty means you have very limited options, no power to increase, and no assets. When one lives in poverty, one struggles and has limited options.

Moreover, poverty means your basic needs are at threat, limited, or diminished. Even those who take a vow of poverty for religious or spiritual purposes have their basic needs met and therefore are not truly living in poverty.

While the concept of poverty sounds romantic to many, those who truly experience poverty and lack do not find it romantic at all. It is complacency that keeps most people in this mode of poverty. They stay in this mode because of fear. Fear of doing something different. Fear of seeing the world different. Many people live with so many fears that these fears cause them to live in complacency instead of purpose. Those fears may include fear of giving up old habits, unhealthy relationships, or a familiar routine.

Gaining momentum, restoring vitality, stepping into our own greatness, and living in abundance begins with overcoming our fears and letting go of complacency. When we understand that abundance is a journey of joy and purpose, we will give up the familiar for the new and begin to live life as our true and authentic self.  We increase our awareness of infinite possiblities.  We allow the Creative Spirit to move through us as we become powerful conductors of energy.  And we grow into our vision of purpose in life. 

Creating the Life We Truly Desire

Again, there is abundance all around us.  And we must know who we really are.  There is abundance in us.  By choosing to live as co-creators, we are a part of and in partnership with all that is in the Universe. The same abundance, Infinite Creativity, Infinite intelligence, and Infinite Organization that dwells in the Universe also dwells in us. It dwells in us as the Creative Spirit moves through us helping us to actualize our hopes and dreams. 

Because abundance is a Universal Law and we are woven into the fabric of the Universe, we have a right to live abundantly.  In fact, we are abundant.  We were not meant to live in scarcity and lack.  The ALL, Source Energy, God has given us the power to live in  abundance.  However, we must abide by the principles and Laws that govern abundant living.  We must learn the gift of converting the unmanifested into the manifested.  Hence, this will require us to tap into our higher consciousness and not rely solely on what our 5 senses tell us.  For then, we become susceptible to the ego.  We cannot live life from the outside in.  We must live life from the inside out.  Once we realize the voice of our soul, we must have faith that the voice of our soul will not veer us off the path of abundance and greatness.

Our five senses can be enhanced by the wisdom and knowledge of Infinite Intelligence or we can allow the ego to distort our insight and feed us full with illusions. 

For example, in ego, your five senses tell you that if you do not eat fat you will lose weight.  However, nothing could be further from the truth.  With wisdom and knowledge from the voice of your soul, infinite intelligence will guide you to the proper information on this subject matter.  You would be led to discover that the key is to avoid eating animal fat, hydrogenated oils, and cooked fats.  Furthermore you would have the wisdom of knowing that raw plant fat gives you energy and helps you to burn and metabolize stored fat in the body.  Cooked fat, hydrogenated oils, and animal fat is unstructured and the body cannot utilize or metabolize it effectively.

The ego makes decisions based on deduction, not according to true knowledge and wisdom.  It believes this must be so because well…this is not so.  Thus you tend to perpetuate illusions.  A fine example of such illusions would be, if you are in debt, your five senses in ego would tell you to get two jobs and you will make more money to get out of debt.  Again, nothing could be further from the truth.  Most people miss about 20% of their income before they even get their paycheck due to taxes, Medicare, social security, insurance and other deductibles.  Furthermore, with every purchase, you are charged a sales tax of about 9%.  Meaning, each dollar you earn is only worth about 91 cents.   Let us say that you earn $1,000 per week from your job.  In actuality, you only earn about $700 per week. When you factor in food, clothing, transportation, shelter and all that comes with it, you are only working to keep working.  

Is that abundant living?  Absolutely not.  Your five senses in ego can only manipulate current resources and  materials.  It cannot see, touch, taste, smell, or hear the workings of the immaterial—the Spirit realm; therefore, it cannot access the unformed stuff of the universe in order to co-create more and become more.

But, friends, as our true and authentic self there is in our connection with the Universe unformed substance that when tapped into will help us create the lives we truly desire.  This unformed substance cannot be bought with money.  It is unused potential waiting to be formed.  It is the x or y of every equation of the mind over matter.   It is all which is unknown to us waiting to be known.  It is Infinite Possibilities and this is the possibility for anything that is possible. 

The realm of Infinite possibilities is built on the principle that there is endless abundance in the Universe ready to be utilized by us.  Science has discovered that 74% of the universe is “dark matter” or unused potential.  The realm of Infinite Possibilities is than unused potential ready to activated.  It is how something can come from nothing. It answers how a man or woman can hit rock bottom down to nothing and spring up with unlimited resources and opportunities.  Once this potential is activate, the flow is on. 

It is the unformed stuff from which everything is created.  The energy behind its use determines its outcome. 

Ego Tripping the Destroyer of Flow

When we operate in ego, we don’t have access to infinite organizing power, because we have decided to separate ourselves from Source Energy.  In ego, we are limited to what we can “figure out” ourselves, so if we were not born into privilege and want wealth and success, we have limited resources.  But, when we choose to become a co-creator as our true and authentic self (the only way to be a co-creator), then we have partnered with the universe.  The universe is held in the mind of the all, it is mental and therefore it has infinite intelligence, infinite organizing power, and infinite possibilities.  Our partnership as a co-creator gives us access to it all. 

However, to gain access we must choose to be co-creators and swim with the flow of abundance and not against it.  The ego is blind to the Great Vision because it seeks to be separated from the whole out of fear.  The ego is deaf to the soul because it is afraid of the uncertainty of what it hears. 

In the flow, we follow our bliss and passion in life because we can hear the voice of our soul instructing us from infinite intelligence.  We are being guided, protected, and love by the Holy Spirit—Oneness.  This comfort and protection helps keep us in the flow of abundance.  The ego is a distraction or dis-attraction because it disconnects us from the flow through its desire to be separated from Oneness.

Often times, this is what exacerbates our fear.  The ego fears the flow of abundance because in the flow we are becoming more of our true and authentic self.  This takes the ego right out of the driver’s seat.  With diminished capacity to rule our lives and direct us away from oneness, the ego subsides in a sub-servant role and simply carries on its functions of perception, personality, and identification.  With ruling capacity, the ego takes on the tyrannical role of judgment, paranoia, defensiveness, and competitiveness. 

The ego trip can be short or it can be long.  It is our hope that through Abundance Training for Co-creators, each member of the Blue Lotus Living Community will find it a very short trip.  The good and potential for greatness that is in all of us must be cultivated in order for us to be the success we desire in life.  Letting go of the fetters of the ego and illusions of the ego happens when we become dedicated to actualizing our true and authentic self. 

We must give ourselves the opportunity to be ourselves and live life from our true self-concept instead of from something we created in reaction to our disappointments, pains, and hurts from life.  As co-creators we can have passion, joy, love, good fortune, empowering relationships, adventures, youth vigor, and a sound mind.  We become more active in our lives and we let go of the passive default reactions to life which cause us the pain we seek to avoid.

Human Evolution and the Path of Enlightenment

Mankind must evolve spiritually in order to survive.  Yes, we have entered an age where collective consciousness–which is our collective beliefs, thoughts, and vibration–is very powerful.  It has always been powerful, but we are now in an age where it is astronomically powerful—and I do mean astronomically.  The energy of desperation, fear, and anger can cause destruction in an entire community while love, devotion, and peace can rebuild it just as quickly.

Roslyn and I personally witness this as we were trapped in Hurricane Katrina.  We witness how the city was in turmoil weeks before the Hurricane and despair was in the hearts of many.  This despair combined with global warming caused 80% of a city to nearly be covered in water.  Roslyn and I often say that the storm happened long before the hurricane.  Science and spirit are inseparable they beat as one because they come from the same heart—the universe.

In light of this knowledge, we must consider the same about human evolution.  What is happening on a astronomical level in our universe is happening on the plant.  In short, we must evolve.  Human evolution is not a physical evolution; it is a spiritual evolution where we must choose the path of enlightenment. 

Accordingly, enlightenment is the awareness that we are all a part of the continuum.  We are all an extension of God, Source Energy, the All manifested here on Earth to create and expand the Great Vision.  If we are to believe in all consciousness that there is a Divine Plan, and it is evident there is, then we are the plan.  Every ounce of creativity which is in all of us as co-creators and spiritual beings signifies that we are the Divine Plan.  The integral branches of the Great Vision are the Tree of Life and the seeds of that tree are implanted in the soul of all creation.  The soul is instructed on what it’s responsibility is in the Great Vision, thus making the soul the very plan it is to carryout with purpose. 

Enlightenment is what makes each of us able to see the vision that is seeded in our soul—it’s purpose. Enlightenment is to become illumed with joy, elation, and creativity in such a way we are becoming and as we are becoming, we are carryout the purpose of the plan.   Enlightenment, as a process, works to release the fetters of the ego in order to become light (not weighed down) and becoming light (luminosity) with the peace of being one’s true and authentic self. 

This is individual work, however, on a communal and global level with this peace, joy, and elation, we change the vibration of collective consciousness and as a result, our world changes personally, communally, globally, and universally.  We are creating all we are experiencing.

Thus, co-creator we are co-creating life—more life.  With such power and responsibility as the Divine Plan, it is most certain that we would see it fit to evolve and become more because we are constantly creating more as a co-creator.  The evolution of our enlightenment is a natural response to becoming more. 

In the process of our enlightenment, we are pruning out those things which are no longer necessary for life to expand for us personally, for our communities, for our planet, and for the universe itself.  The pruning makes compensation available to us as distributors and conductors of energy. 

It is much like, cleaning out your closet of all those clothes and shoes you can no longer wear or no longer want to wear in order to make room for more clothes you will be wearing.  The evolution of our enlightenment on the one hand is removing or pruning out the old useless waste and making room for the new, dynamic, and impacting. On the other hand, evolution and enlightenment is recycling energy to a form which is more useful to us according the where we are on the path of enlightenment.
