Abundance

The Reality That You Live - Chico Xavier

​

- You were born in the home that you needed to be born, put in the physical body that you deserved. You live where God has provided for you, in accordance with your progress.

​

- You have the financial resources consistent with your needs … neither more nor less, but the righteous to your earthly struggles.

​

- Your work environment is what you chose voluntarily to your performance.

​

- Your relatives and friends are the souls that you attracted with your own affinity.

​

- Therefore, your destiny is constantly under your control.

​

- You choose, collect, elect, attract, search, expel, and change everything around your existence.

​

- Your thoughts and desires are the key to your actions and attitudes. They are the sources of attraction and repulsion in the journey of your experience.

​

- Do not complain, do not be a victim.

​

- First of all, analyze and observe. The change is in your hands. Reprogram your goal, seek the good and you will live better.

​

- While no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start now and make a new ending. "

"Ask, and it is given," - New Testatment (Matthew, 7: 7-11).

​

As Jesus says, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?  If you then...know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"

​

In the Gospel according to Spiritism, Allan Kardec states:

​

From the moral point of view, these words of Jesus signify that if we ask for the light which will show us the way, it will be given; if we ask for strength to resist evil, we shall receive it; if we ask for the assistance of the good Spirits, then they will come to accompany us and, as did the angel of Tobias (2), they will guide us; if we ask for good counsel it will not be refused; if we knock on His door it will be opened. But we must ask with sincerity, faith, confidence and fervour.

​

We must present ourselves with humility and not with arrogance, or else we will be abandoned to our own strength and the falls taken will be penalty for our pride. This then is what is meant by the words: Seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened."

Ekhart Tolle  (The Power of Now)

​

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance. 

​

First thing that people may think of when we talk about abundance is lots of things…material things. But, really, that is only the most outer layer of abundance. Not that important. Abundance is the feeling of abundance.

​

What does the word actually mean. Comes from the Latin. The original meaning is "overflowing." …A fullness.

​

At the most fundamental level then, abundance is the feeling of abundance...which is to sense within yourself the source of all abundance. To be connected within yourself with the source of abundance.

Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God)

​

True abundance has nothing to do with [the things we have]…and everything to do with what [we are being]. [Our beingness.]

​

The important thing for us to remember when we are searching for right livelihood is to stop looking for something to do, and start looking for something to be. And to get in touch with that part that resides deep inside of you that knows who you really are. And see what it would take to call that forth in a beingness way.

​

So, look inside. What is it that I am being, when I feel totally fulfilled and totally self expressed? What am I being when that happens? Maybe I’m being a healer, maybe I’m being creative. … It’s when doingness flows from beingness, rather than us using doingness to get beingness.

​

Walsh talks about the Be-Do-Have Paradigm

​

God:   Most people believe if they “have” a thing (more money, time, love, etc;), then they can finally “do” a thing (write a novel, an album, take up a hobby, go on a vacation, etc;), which will allow them to “be” a thing (happy, peaceful, content or in love). 

​

In actuality, they are reversing the Be-Do-Have Paradigm to Have-Do-Be. In the universe as it really is (as opposed to how you think it is), “havingness”[having something] does not produce “beingness,” but the other way around. 

​

First you “be” the thing called “happy” (or knowing or wise or compassionate or whatever), then you start “doing” things from this place of beingness and soon you discover that what you are doing winds up bringing you the things you’ve always wanted to “have.”

​

Deciding ahead of time what you choose to be produces that in your experience.

​

The way to set this creative process (and that's what this is... the process of creation) into motion is to look at what it is you want to "have," ask yourself what you think you would "be" if you "had" that, then go right straight to being.

​

In this way you reverse the way you've been using the Be-Do-Have paradigm—in actuality, set it right—and work with, rather than against, the creative power of the universe.

​

When you change the paradigm, you start acting as if, and your body begins to understand, at a cellular level, who you think you really are. And your body starts getting the message: “I have that which I would choose to receive. I already have it.” Now, once you cross that barrier … everything changes.

​

See yourself as the source, rather than the recipient, of what it is that you would choose to experience in life.

------------------------------------

Esther Hicks, a medium for the spirit, Abraham, maintains:  “You attract by your vibration.

Everything in the Universe is experiencing the powerful Law of Attraction...And when you are vibrating in pain, you cannot attract joy. The vibration of pain attracts only pain. The vibration of joy attracts joy, the vibration of illness attracts illness...The Law IS, and the wonderful thing is that once you understand the Law, and you are sensitive enough to feel how you are vibrating, then you have control of your experience.”

​

“You cannot receive vibrationally something that you are not a vibrational match to. And so, bless those who are finding abundance. And in your blessing of them and their abundance, you will become abundant, too. But in your cursing of their abundance, you hold yourself apart from it. It is a law.”

​

“Within the seed of your desire is everything necessary for it to blossom to fulfillment. And Law of Attraction is the engine that does the work. Your work is just to give it a fertile growing place in order to expand.”

​

“As with meditation…when you quiet your mind, you stop thought…when you stop thought you stop resistant thought…when you stop resistant thought your vibration raises. When your vibration raises…you’re in tune with who you are, when you’re in tune with who you are in your meditational state, because you’re awake, you’re conscious, more aware, you feel it viscerally, you viscerally feel the…Energy, the change, the improvement, the abundance…[this is the incubation place of creating, of manifesting…”

​

To conclude.

​

Neale Walsh: “Life's irony is that as soon as worldly goods and worldly success are of no concern to you, the way is open for them to flow to you.” 

​

The grandest teaching of Christ was not that you shall have everlasting life--but that you do; not that you shall have brotherhood in God, but that you do; not that you shall have whatever you request, but that you do.”
