If abundance is ours for the taking why does it seem so hard to grab all of its gifts and make a mad dash for the nearest department store, premier real estate agency, or BMW dealership? Well, my friends, the answer is in the question. Abundance is not a lot of everything. Abundance is reaching your optimum potential as a human being during your life on this planet. Abundance takes our intentions matches them with our actions and reveals to us what it is that we are seeking. Abundance applies to all levels of our existence.
I recently read an article that talked about abundance training being kept from the masses so that the rich could be rich and the poor would stay poor. Sure, we’d all like to know what the magical secret to limitless wealth is but life is so much more than the bucks in your pocket and the material things you have to show off at the next neighborhood barbecue. However, you can use abundance to your advantage to have all of the “things” you want. My goal here is to help you to better understand the purpose of Universal Thought and abundance.
Throwing Your Thoughts Into the Universe
We’ve all read or heard countless quotes about unanswered prayers and getting what we need rather than what we want. There is some truth to these. I sincerely believe that clichés, in general, have survived the ages because there is some wisdom in them. Universal Thought, One Mind, or the collective consciousness all refer to the same thing – a higher consciousness that is accessible to all human beings.
Not too long ago, after experiencing some devastating heartbreak, I drafted a letter expressing my desire to really fall in love. The letter listed out exactly what I wanted from a partner. I got down deep and specific about what was really important to me. Likewise, I acknowledged what I had to offer wasting little time on all of the things that are wrong with me by the unattainable social meter we’re exposed to every day.
The Universe sent me the love I had sought within weeks. I did not open my door one day to see this person standing there; I actually had to participate in fulfilling my own destiny. I had to take action to have what I really wanted, which was a pure and satisfying love with another person. I was given a partner who understands and appreciates me for the person I am today and is not waiting for me to be the perfect person of tomorrow.
Through my willingness to be candid with the Universe I was connected with someone who was thinking the same way I was. Someone ready to experience and share everything that comes in the love package: Trust. Beauty. Vulnerability. We’ve had growing pains for sure. He does not have every quality I listed out and I know I don’t have every quality he wanted but we have the right combination of personalities to grow into lasting space with each other.
Just because we think the Universe or God, knows our hearts doesn’t mean that a Tinkerbell type of character is just sitting around waiting to grant our wishes. We have to connect with our own consciousness to connect with the higher consciousness. Looking within is our starting point. It is our responsibility to acknowledge this consciousness and be willing to put effort into our own desire for abundance wherever we may need it.
