From Poverty to Abundance

September 20, 2017 by admin Leave a Comment

I like to use politics and national states of mind as metaphors for our attitude towards life. Politics is a mirror that reflect us. We are the producer of the Political Play….so we can see ourselves from the audience as well as the stage. All political violence comes from our identifying with the characters and plots on the stage. The wide angle view comes when you can at the same time sit in the audience as the producer of the play. When. you can do that, Poverty shifts to Abundance because Abundance is our natural state, our original state.

But here again we have to be careful and not fall into the moral trap of blaming others for being poor, since their abundance is their potential, and they refuse to realize it. Abundance and judgment are incompatible. Abundance and being Special are not compatible. In order to release natural abundance you have to surrender you political position and your beliefs that make you a special class of people. Abundance has no boundaries in the mind. All boundaries create ambiguity. Abundance is unambiguous. When you create a wall you create ambiguity and a division in your will. You create poverty out of abundance. Do you hear me Mr. Trump?

It is risky business when I talk about Abundance and Poverty because there is a Christian theology about this, or in the secular world the Power of Positive Thinking, or intention. the Bible is full of this formula. Everyone want to know how to activate this Abundance everyone says is just lying around to be picked up. All the self helps, diets, return to you nature, restore your original face, get in balance, Organic, Original…all labels to sell abundance…today’s Promised Land.

The Ideas I brought forth in this talk was Unambiguous (not mind divided) and Intention. And unambiguous Intention comes from the heart not the mind. And the Heart is the activation of the Whole. The Heart is always inclusive, like the mother who loves all her children. Intellect and analysis are both tools of the mind that works in time. There must be a means to get to an end in time. So if I’m poor now, what is the means to get to abundance?

This is not what I’m talking about. You are already abundant whether you have money or not, whether you have health or not. But when you have abundance of the Heart, that heart wants to serve the whole, and it will come up with an IDEA that serves the whole. This IDEA enlists the whole or reality as its means. No effort is required. Like in The Avatar and the Voyage to Pandora the Mother comes to restore balance, or abundance, which is balance.
