Don’t Say “That’s Enough”

We have trained ourselves to live at a certain level of abundance and not to rise too much higher, or at least do it really, really, slowly, and in the timing and manner of our choice.

This means that although infinite Love is providing ever-expanding abundance for every one of us in every moment, because this is one of Its Principles, we have to find a way to stop it from coming to us.

Well, actually, we have to find a way to not see it so that it doesn't upset our personal paradigm, or story we have written for ourselves, or even worse, allowed someone else to write for us.

Perhaps you are thinking, "Not me, I don't do that, I am open to all provision".

We could honestly say we don't do this if every relationship in our life is filled with love and respect, and I mean every relationship in our life.

If the well from which we pay for life's needs is always full and in fact overflowing.

If our health is excellent with no signs of age or disease in any part of ourselves, and if we are fully living the essence of ourselves in every moment of our lives.

Ok, given that we are all stopping the flow of abundance in our lives in many ways, we can get down to the business of dissolving this habit of stopping the flow.

The first problem, and really the only problem, is we think we are human living in a material universe. If we accept this in any form then our human self is in the constant process of stopping the flow because it does not know how to handle too much abundance at a time.

Let me give you an example. If you run a business (actually we all are in the business of life, so this works for everyone) and you begin to feel that you have enough customers, or clients, and you say to yourself that you really can't handle anymore, that is stopping the flow. Not only will you not receive more customers, but also you will begin to lose the ones you have.

Or, your business is "making you crazy" in some way and you say to yourself, "I have got to get out of this business." Whoops, not a good idea, because being out of business is exactly what you will be.

Or, perhaps you decide to not reach out any longer, or not embrace and learn new ideas to improve what you have; all of this is stopping the flow of abundance to you.

Why is this? Because "what we perceive to be reality magnifies" or said another way, you are programming your personal computer within this "game called earth" to not show you anything that you don't want to see.

This idea applies to every aspect of life, not just to business and money, but also to relationships, love, and health - yes everything.

How can we stop this habit? We first have to begin with the correct premise. We are not human. Never have been, never will be. It's a little story we tell to ourselves to make the world make more sense to us, but that doesn't make it true.

We are the ideas of God. We are the expression of Love, we are abundance Itself. We are the action of Mind. We live in a spiritual universe. There is only one, and it is spiritual.

What if we find ourselves in a job, business, relationships, or any situation that we don't like?

Because we know that everything is in Reality Spiritual, and is in Truth the presence of God, and we know that God is the Principle of omnipresent good we can begin to shift ourselves from these situations, not by saying "that's enough", but by seeing through each one to see the qualities of God.

This means actively finding and rejoicing in every bit of good that is shining through the illusion of "bad," and actively stopping the habit of looking only at what is not working or we don't like. As we do this, the situation will resolve to match our understanding of the Truth of only One, and it is Spiritual, and it is good.

Of course, this barely makes sense to us within our human paradigm. However, accepting it and acting as if it is true will first show us where we have put up dams and barriers in our life, and then begin to dissolve them both by conscious choice and as a by-product of stating the Truth.

Would Love ever give itself more then it could handle? Would it ever put Itself in a business that wasn't joyful and abundant? Doesn't infinite Principle have enough wisdom to give Itself (us) everything in perfect proportion and practical means to take care of what it is providing?

Gratitude will break the habit of saying, "I have enough", or "I don't like this", or "I can't handle that". Gratitude will focus our attention on what is working, and builds up our confidence in the fact that the Divine is handling our lives, really Its life, quite well.

Gratitude for what we have, whether it appears to be a little or a lot, will bring out into the open our human personal stories and rewrite them based on our current highest understanding of God's provision.

Instead of saying "stop, that's enough" to abundance, we will stand with arms open wide in acceptance of the ever-flowing gentle rain of infinite provision, knowing that there is always a place for it and it is always beautiful in its presentation and practical in its application.
