Our Supply

The essence of "The Law of Attraction" is, you only receive what you want from a position of have. You have to feel abundance in order to attract it. Even the Bible says, and I paraphrase, "To he who has, much shall be given. To he who has not, that too shall be taken away."

Doesn't seem fair does it. How can I pretend I have what I want when I don't? Well I wish that all this time "The Law of Attraction" had been called "The Law of Manifestation", because that is what is really happening. You have the power to manifest everything you need from within your Consciousness. You don't attract it to you from the outside.

Our supply, all the things that we need in life come from within us. They come as a vibrational expression of our Consciousness. That's why appreciation, gratitude, giving, sharing, loving, are so powerful and important to our happiness. They are all expressions of the flow of our energy. We can only be generous when we are sharing ourselves with the world from a place of fulfillment. We give love, compliments, appreciation and yes, even things to the world, and that sets up a flow that continues expressing itself through us. 

When we feel that there is something missing in our lives, we are identifying with a place of emptiness and expect it to be filled by something from outside of us. It is evidence that we do not believe that our happiness comes from an expression of our Consciousness, but from things that must come to us. Then we are operating from a place of emptiness trying to fill that emptiness with things.  We are acting from a place of wanting.

The happiness that things brings us will always only be temporary. The desire is momentarily quieted, but the place inside is still empty. Give and ye shall receive. Want and you will be wanting.

Worry

So if we are always only Divine Consciousness, what’s happening when we are worried or afraid?

Most of the time we identify with ourselves as an individual, separate from other individuals and the surrounding world. When we are afraid or worried we contract even further into our own little world. In this way we limit the amount of Divine Consciousness or Divine Energy that flows through us. It’s like closing down the aperture of a camera lens which allows less light in.

The best way I know of to open your Divine Energy aperture, is to focus your awareness on the sensation in your body associated with your worries or your fears. For most of us these sensations are located in our chest, in our gut, or in a constricted feeling in our throat. So, start by sitting quietly where you won’t be disturbed. Turn your attention to these worrying sensations inside your body. They should be easy to locate because they are usually uncomfortable and sometimes painful. Focus your attention on these feelings without trying to get rid of them. This is important. We want to feel these fears and accept the sensations associated with them without any judgment or attempts to change them at all. “But I don’t accept them, I don’t like them and I want to be rid of them. I want something to be different”. I know, but when you are feeling a worrying sensation and wanting to get rid of it, you are looking from it and identifying with it. When you look at a sensation, not judging but accepting it, you are not identifying with it. This is a new and different activity. Your identity moves back and expands as it looks at your worrying. You have opened your identification and your energy flow. Awareness with acceptance is a very powerful tool that you may not have not been consciously using up to now. Also, for the moment anyway, you are not feeding uncomfortable sensations with disturbing thoughts.

“But this exercise doesn’t solve my problems.” Well, you may be in for a surprise. Once you have expanded your awareness and are no longer identifying with just your own problems and your separate personality, you have opened yourself to your true identity: Divine Consciousness AS individual. Acceptance is a form of Divine Love and it has the power to release resources  that you didn’t know you had.

Unmonitored Creativity

Our awareness, the consciousness of everyone of us, is a spark of Divine Consciousness. We are God manifest as individual beings playing around in a sea of Divine Consciousness. If you look for the source of your consciousness, you won't find it because it has no objective qualities. Our Consciousness is shining out of the unknown, illuminating the known. Consciousness cannot be seen as an object but we are obviously aware of it; self aware.

One part of consciousness (in the thinking area of this Divine-pretending-to-be-an-individual), is our creativity. Our minds are free to think creatively. But we let our creative abilities unintentionally wander into ideas and beliefs that may not be true. For instance we have the choice to create Love, to appreciate our lives and the world around us. Or we have the freedom to think thoughts that make us feel separate from our Divine Source and our fellow humans. Believing this we feel alone and vulnerable. We become afraid and so we fear the world and the people around us.  We forget that we are all made out of the same stuff and that we are all in this together.

Divine Consciousness is totally loving and trusting of itself, so it allows us to do this. This gets us in trouble ONLY because Divine Consciousness has chosen to play this game of forgetting it's true identity. If we realize that we are here to remember who we are and enjoy this incredible experience, then there is really nothing to fear except for our own unmonitored creativity.

So if you hear anyone saying that you should fear or hate any people or groups of people, they are not speaking from truth. They have forgotten who they are, and are speaking from a belief system created from confusion and misunderstanding.

Each one of us has the power to let Truth guide our thoughts to create Love and share it with those around us. This is how we increase the amount of Love in the world which is definitely what it needs right now.
