Gratitude and Abundance
The largest percentage of the population live their entire lives feeling like the things they would like to experience are out of their reach. Many live their life with even the most basic necessities being out of reach.
Lack consciousness has always been and continues to be the “cause” for the seemingly lack of abundance that the earth population experience but very few remember how the process works and what the root cause is behind lack.
In order to understand the root cause we must allow our self to remember that “thoughts create”. Thoughts are not just something that are here one minute and gone the next. When we experience our thoughts we are experiencing “energy in motion”.
Our physical body is designed to pay attention to our thoughts, our thoughts are the “only” thing that is running our physical body. That may be hard to imagine because we focus on the workings of the body form; blood flow, oxygen flow, etc. and give little if any attention to the fact that our body is made of energy.
The thoughts we “adopt as our beliefs” are what determine the experiences we will have in our life time. Beliefs are thoughts that are in constant motion, they are thoughts that run on auto pilot and most of them flow through us without us paying attention to them.
When we are a child we are in the process of “acquiring our beliefs”. As an infant we only know what our “needs” are and cry when we desire our needs to be taken care of. But as we grow to be an adult we adopt our beliefs based on our experiences and beliefs passed down to us from those around us.
As a child we dream, imagine and pretend what we want to “be when we grow up” and cannot wait until we grow up so we can experience our dreams. The childhood experience seems to take forever when you are experiencing it but when it is over and you must be a responsible adult it seems like childhood was a very short amount of our life experience.
Being a “responsible adult” means growing up to face the world as it is and stop pretending it is something different than what you see before your eyes. At least those are the kind of thoughts we are told as we wonder why life seems to change so drastically when we grow into adulthood.
If the world was ran via the dreams and eyes of a child there would be a whole lot less imbalance within the world because the “dreams of a child” would create differently. Children do not see limitation, they simply glue things together to make them work to create what they desire to experience.
We need to remember these childhood qualities if we desire to experience abundance in our lives because the dreams are thoughts and they create. The adopted beliefs of adulthood squelch the childhood dreams and we go to bed at night worrying about what we don’t have or can’t experience not realizing our body is listening to our thoughts to then wake up the next day and continue to experience the lack we believe exists.
Our body is energy and it sends and receives energy 24 – 7 even if we are not aware that it does. It works to ensure we will experience what we “believe” by drawing the energy to us that is necessary to allow us to experience our beliefs and pushing the energy away from us that we believe we do have not and cannot have.
People deal with the daily challenges of living and trying to survive or to get ahead in life not realizing they are creating the daily challenges because they believe they are experiencing daily challenges.
What is abundance? Abundance is having what is needed to survive; everything else is “desires”. We must first create abundance in our life to ensure we have the basic necessities required to survive and then we can focus on creating the desires. Many people are not aware of what abundance is and think it means great material wealth when abundance means food, water, clothing, shelter from the elements and health.
It does not require much to live a life on earth yet millions of people still go without the daily necessities to survive.
Living “gratitude” is the fastest way to create abundance! Why? Because when we count our blessings and are truly grateful for what we do have instead of focusing on what we think we do not have our body listens and it hears that we like experiencing what we do have and will work to draw the energy to us to allow us to continue to experience what we are thinking about.
The same is true if we are constantly thinking about what we think we do not have; our body listens and will push anything away from us that we tell our self we do not have because we do not have it so we cannot have it because we believe we do not have it.
Perhaps you are playing the pull the bill out of the hat game to rob Peter and pay Paul each month and then worrying about how you are going to accomplish that because you believe you do not have the money needed to pay them all. Can you see the irony of your beliefs? You believe you do not have the money to pay them all so you “will not” have the money to pay them all.
Does that mean that if you change your beliefs, count your blessings and focus on what you do have that tomorrow you are going to experience everything you currently believe you do not have? Not necessarily because your lack beliefs are running in full motion through you to ensure that you will be able to experience them. It will require “seeding” your new thought instructions until you begin to experience them. This is because the new thought patterns must build to a high enough level of energy to override the beliefs you hold that are creating what you desire to change.
Imagine a small child saying over and over, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can”. It might seem like child’s play or pretending but it is the way to create and draw to us what we desire to experience.
The thoughts we hold that are running on auto pilot and are creating lack are doing so because we have believed them for so long they have built up enough energy to simply keep running.
I AM statements are the most powerful thought instructions for the body form to create or any statement that begins with “I” because you are stating firmly what You Are and your body is taking that as a strong command.
The process of seeding and creating new thought patterns within us will require some faith until we heal to remember the powerful creator that we are but the most important part of the process is to not lose track of the thought.
When we spend quality time daily focusing on and communing with Source within us and allowing our self to fill our body with the Love of Source we are assisting our body to remember what love feels like. Balance is created within the emotional quality of love as love is balance.
If we seed our new desired thoughts while we are sitting within that Love space with Source the energy we have available to use to seed our new thought patterns is much stronger because we can quite the auto pilot thoughts and allow the body to hear our new thoughts.
Meditation is the process of listening to Source and prayer is the process of expressing “gratitude” to Source for the wonderful abundance that we do have, a process of thanksgiving via the Love that flows through us.
There is nothing wrong with asking Source to assist us to create what we desire to experience but Source allows freewill so if we think that simply by asking Source to assist us to experience something and then walk away and continue to think we cannot experience that something we will continue to experience that we do not have it. Because of this process, many people think that Source does not listen or does not care. Source hears all thoughts, cares and always responds but our beliefs and expectations can keep us from becoming aware of such.
Bargaining with Source to get what you think you want but think you do not have will not work simply because you think you do not have it and you will continue to create that experience.
Within your daily sessions of sitting with Source you could use I AM statements to seed your new thoughts.
- I AM Abundance
- I AM Healed
- I AM Love
- I AM Whole
- I AM Beautiful
- I AM Perfection
- I AM Free
- I AM Safe
- I AM Protected
These are just a few examples of I AM statements but the process is endless. The “key” is to become aware of what your beliefs are and what you need to reprogram within your body and that requires becoming “Thought Aware”, paying attention to your thoughts that run on auto pilot and stopping them when you become aware of what you are thinking and then instantly seeding the healed thought pattern you desire to replace them with.
You must get your body to believe your new balanced thoughts and that requires telling it over and over again until it does. It is the same process you encountered when you did something like learning your A,B,Cs; you continued to work with the sounds, the images, to write them, to sing them until you “memorized them”. When you memorize something it means those thought patterns are running full steam ahead within you and soon you forget the process of creating that and simply experience the thoughts.
You could create little songs to seed your new desired thoughts. Writing them over and over is a wonderful way to turn them on within the body as you are engaging the body in the process, it is as if your entire body becomes the pen.
But you must “believe” as you believed all was possible when you were a child. This is what is meant by the ancient statement that all must become as little children once again because little children “believe they can”.
Plant your garden carefully and then continue to water it with Love then experience the wonderful blooms come to life.
