-The Abundance Book by John Randolph Price
When I am in a place of abundance, I see abundance all around me. When I am in a place of deprivation, I see deprivation everywhere. What is abundance and what is deprivation?
I feel abundance when I am drinking Rooibos tea, when I have an idea and I manifest it on paper or in the world. I feel abundant when I have a sweet interaction with a random stranger. I feel abundant when I reveal my inner sun and someone feels better as a result. I am abundant when I am of service. I feel abundant when I feel the sun on my face.
I live in an illusion of deprivation when I don't listen to myself and move forward when I know that I should sit still. I live in the illusion of deprivation when I allow myself to listen more than I am listened to. I live in the illusion of deprivation when I do not allow myself options or to change my mind. I live in the illusion of deprivation when I move against everything that I feel is true at the core of my being due to internalized conditioning of social conventions or 'shoulds.
Infinite Prosperity Individualized As Me
It is interesting to think that my prosperity is present when I am unable to pay rent, buy food or simply afford to get to work. I remember that I was at a conference and a man said to me, "You have everything you need inside of you." I absolutely could not believe that in the face of a serious financial crisis that I could have everything I needed. "Where?" I thought to myself. "Where is everything that I need?"
When I cannot see the answer in front of me, I go into effort- i.e. attempting to scroll through 100 jobs at Craig's list-then I start to 'feel poor' and in those times, everything gets really really hard. In those moments, there is no relief. Finally, I surrender and go against everything that seems logical: sitting instead of moving, being quiet instead of speaking and doing one thing at a time instead of multi-tasking.
Then when I finally manage my anxiety, an answer comes, support comes or something shifts: almost out of the blue. I am starting to think that it is less of an issue of a miracle and more of an issue is that I sat still long enough to get in touch what was there all along and it has the opportunity to show up in my world. Maybe it is always in my world and I slow down along to see it.
My work is to be present and show up for the moment. In the moment, I can just listen. I can trust myself, because I am as real as the situations that I face.
