The Practice of Abundance

Abundance is not just about finances, but about the fullness of life. Jean Houston wrote, "We have no choice but to democratize greatness and utilize the whole continuum of human and Divine potential. The Science of Mind says this is not only possible, it is what is expected of us." Prosperity is the out-picturing of substance in our affairs. Everything in the Universe is for us. Nothing is against us. Life is ever-giving of itself. We must receive, utilize, and extend the gift. Success and prosperity are spiritual attributes belonging to all people, but not necessarily used by all people. -- Ernest Holmes The power of integrity is the practice of trusting ourselves. It expands our capacity to allow and to receive. Trusting ourselves is the only way to trust others. The power of alignment is the practice of connecting to our Source. Other people don't create our reality---they are not our Source. Seek to make diversity your friend. See life as a big buffet of many choices. Then we can become a more pure, more deliberate chooser of our thoughts. We determine our state of being. We have the ability to shift and sort and focus. It is both our right and our opportunity. A powerful antidote to despair is activity. What activities lift us out of despair? Bless all of humanity. Stand in the peace and the passion and work toward a better world. The fastest way to alignment with Spirit is through the heart. The power of choice is the practice of finding a way to be happy in the state before manifestation. We empower ourselves by appreciating something. The Infinite doesn't care about the words so much---it cares about the feeling-tone. The Universe does not hear our words, it feels our vibration. So why not learn to play in it? The gift of choice is twofold. First, we have the freewill to choose whatever we want to choose. Second, we have the choice to step into alignment with the Infinite. This second part helps us to "find a place to land" with our souls. In alignment, we can ask, "What is seeking to be revealed here?"
