Activating the Laws of Abundance

Rev. Patrick continues his discussion of the book "The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity" by Catherine Ponder. The major theme of his talk is that the opportunity in life is not to discover ourselves but to create ourselves. This occurs moment by moment, by our thoughts. In our lives, we often experience a "sense of spaciousness", where we are pulled out of our ordinary sense of self in everyday life. This is a necessary step to creating and experiencing abundance. To illustrate this idea, Rev. Patrick tells the Hindu story of Abu and the Drum. The principle is that Nature abhors a vacuum. It always fills wherever there is space in our lives. We must get rid of what we don't want to make room for what we do want. Clear out clutter. Clear out entrenched ideas. For whatever problems persist in our lives, forgiveness is always the answer. Most times it is self-forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of old ideas. This creates the vacuum for new things to flow in.
