Open your mind to a new approach
Friday, January 18, 2008 at 1:05PM Wealth creation is a concept that invites you to gain new insight into your deepest resistence. Rather than aggravate your seemingly natural desires, this post offers you occasion to reflect on your motives, underlying beliefs and what you really want:
1) Take steps to understand why your life is not more abundant. Abundance presents itself in different packages. Its grounded in your perception and levels of self-understanding. The opposite of abundance is scarcity. If you sense scarcity in your life, and desire to create more abundance, this relates back to reasons why you don’t love yourself. That’s right. Lack of self-love and lack of unconditional self-acceptance simply invite more forms of wanting and poverty. How you feel mirrors what you project and experience. Rest assured, anyone can reverse an apparent trend or pattern in themselves. Acknowledging what you don't want is growth.
2) Learn to relieve your burdens. Whatever you think you wish for, from things like more money, material objects and relationships you don’t have, to more seductive lifestyles and conditions, it may seem reasonable. Yet, such a focus is ego’s way of distracting you from key confrontations with self-conditioned beliefs that keep you where you are. Why do you think these perceived forms of wealth have strings attached? You can only achieve such wealth provided you retain your long-standing beliefs. You're not allowed to change. What is the alternative? Are you willing to refine your vocabulary?
3) Let go of what you think you want. You may have heard that if you follow your passions, listen your true self, then, opportunities for wealth will arise. Before you notice them however, you must be in the mindset that allows you to notice and seize them. Giving up ego is the issue. As you learn to relinquish visions of what you think you want, you begin to develop a new kind of trust and faith that your life will evolve in your best interest. What you get are a myriad of learning opportunities to empower you in new ways. This implies you’re ready to transcend certain fears.
4) Realize the benefits of giving up defenses. It pays to evolve to where wealth creation becomes something you associate with strengthening your core identity. It’s not something tangible you’re given or, that you reach for as a means of turning away from who you really are. Procrastinating, complaining, making excuses, all come back to the issue of avoidance. The more you refuse opportunities to build abundance, the more you postpone valuable life lessons and the basis for real fulfillment. Exert effort to defend your current position as long as you like. Each of us learns at our own pace. Giving up defenses is part of embracing who we are.
5) Embrace a shift in consciousness. Abundant wealth arises as you realize goodness and prosperity are already within yourself. True wealth isn’t external. It isn’t generated on the stock market or anywhere described in words by three-dimensional thinking. Wealth originates in other dimensions, those that teach you to experience and to know love help you believe you don’t need anything else. The truth must be felt to be real. Other things that come are simply icing on a cake.

I suppose it comes down to realizing what we assume is knowledge of wealth isn't going to get us what we really want. Wealth is an experience that can be perceived without fear of punishment or aspiring for a reward. Only as we evolve to recognize the difference between who we are and how we think do we begin to appreciate the difference between imagining wealth and truly experiencing it.
