The Great Lie, The Surprising Truth

The spiritual path depends on knowing and living from the idea that anything is possible with God. We ground ourselves in this reality, even in our money and finances. In Lynne Twist's book, The Soul of Money, we read, "There is a natural law of abundance which pervades the entire universe, but it will not flow through a doorway of lack and limitation." So how do we open the doorway? Lynne identifies three myths (lies) that are popular in our culture: There is not enough. --- Hence, we compete to get more, and live in fear. More is better. --- This distances us from experiencing the deep value of what we have. That's just the way it is. --- This leads to resignation and cynicism. The antidote to the above myths is found in the principle of sufficiency. Sufficiency isn't an amount at all---it is an experience. It is a declaration: Knowing that there is enough. Knowing that we are enough. Sufficiency is a new place to stand.
