Most of us have trained ourselves to live at a certain level of abundance, and if we allow it to increase, we do it slowly.
This means that although infinite Love provides an ever-expanding abundance for every one of us in every moment—because this is one of Its principles—we find a way to stop it from coming to us.
Well, we aren’t stopping it since it is always happening.
Instead, we find a way not to see it so that it doesn’t upset our paradigm, the story we have written or accepted about not having enough.
Perhaps you think this isn’t true for you.
You say, “Not me, I don’t do that. I am open to all types of abundance and provision.”
Here’s how to know if we are not stopping abundance.
Our relationships are filled with love and respect—every relationship.
Our bank accounts are full and overflowing.
Our health is excellent. We are not taking medication for any diseases. We feel so good that we fully live our lives in every moment.
Let’s admit that we are all stopping the flow of abundance in our lives in many ways.
So, let’s get down to the business of dissolving this habit of stopping the flow.
The first problem, and really the only problem, is that we think we are humans living in a material universe.
If we accept this story in any form, then our human self is constantly stopping the flow because it doesn’t know how to handle too much abundance at a time.
Let me give you an example.
If you run a business (actually, we all are in the business of life, so this works for everyone) and you begin to feel that you have enough customers or clients and say to yourself that you really can’t handle anymore—that is stopping the flow.
Not only will the flow of new customers slow down, but you may also begin to lose the ones you have.
Or, if your business is “making you crazy” somehow, and you say to yourself, “I have got to get out of this business.”
Whoops, that’s not a good choice of words, because being out of business is precisely what you will be.
Or, perhaps you decide not to reach out anymore or choose not to embrace and learn new ideas to improve what you have. All of this stops the flow of abundance to you.
Why is this?
Because “what we perceive to be reality magnifies,” or, in other words, you are programming your personal computer within this “game called earth,” not to show you anything you don’t want to see.
This idea applies to every aspect of life, not just business and money but also relationships, love, and health—yes, everything.
How can we stop this habit of stopping the flow?
We first have to begin with the correct premise.
We are not humans—never have been and never will be.
It’s a little story we tell ourselves to make the world make more sense to us, but that doesn’t make it true.
We are the ideas of God. We are the expression of Love. We are abundance Itself.
We are the action of Mind. We live in a spiritual universe. There is only one, and it is spiritual.
What if we find ourselves in a job, business, relationship, or situation that we don’t like?
Because we know that everything is spiritual and is, in truth, the presence of God and that God is the principle of omnipresent good, we can shift ourselves from these situations.
Not by saying, “That’s enough," but by seeing through each one to see the qualities of the infinite in action.
This means actively finding and rejoicing in every bit of good shining through the illusion of “bad” and actively stopping the habit of looking only at what is not working or we don’t like.
As we do this, the situation will be resolved to match our understanding of the truth of only One Mind, which is spiritual and good.
Of course, this barely makes sense to us within our human paradigm.
However, accepting it and acting as if it is true will first show us where we have put up dams and barriers in our lives and then begin to dissolve them both by conscious choice and as a by-product of stating the truth.
Would Love ever give itself more than it could handle?
Would it ever put Itself in a business that wasn’t joyful and abundant?
Doesn’t the Infinite Principle have enough wisdom to give Itself (us) everything in perfect proportion and practical means to care for ourselves?
Gratitude will help us overcome the habit of saying, “I have enough, I don’t like this," or “I can’t handle that.”
Gratitude will focus our attention on what is working and build our confidence in the Divine's handling of our lives—really, Its life—quite well.
Gratitude for what we have, whether it appears to be a little or a lot, will bring our human personal stories into the open and rewrite them based on our current highest understanding of God’s provision.
Instead of saying, “Stop, that’s enough” to abundance, we will stand with arms open wide in acceptance of the ever-flowing gentle rain of infinite provision, knowing that there is always a place for it and that it is always beautiful in its presentation and practical in its application.
Instead of turning it away, we can allow it into our lives in ways that not only provide for our needs but also overflow to others.
That’s how abundance works.
