The concept of all-sufficiency was an essential knowing in all ancient teachings of self-knowledge. The ancients understood that knowing oneself meant knowing that the divine energy that creates worlds, exists within each of us and can manifest any vision held in our consciousness. Students of the mysteries were initiated into the teachings of magnetic powers or what many have to come refer to as, the laws of attraction. By working with these divine unseen forces once could magnetize or call forth whatever was needed to be used for good will. Thus money as an exchange was a token of integrity and inner harmony. Christ said, but if you will not know yourself then you will dwell in poverty and it is you who is that poverty. These esoteric teachings speak to our ability to transform vision into form. Knowledge of thought form energy and the Spirit of creation were combined as the primary principles of manifestation.

A shift in consciousness began shortly after, where the awareness of the innate powers of the individual were censored and attacked and the dogma of outer authority entered. During these Dark Ages, institutions assumed control over independent thinking and creative expression. Members of secret societies who understood the sacred teachings were known to transcend the limitations of the physical world through spiritual awakening and the dedication to freedom, love, truth, wisdom and service. With the transcendental movement, esoteric teachings and mysteries again blossomed and unfolded in waves. Yet we are only just beginning again to understand the messages of infinite abundance and boundless wealth that is our divine birthright.

Many spiritualists may believe that a conversation about wealth has no place on a spiritual path. Yet the earliest teachings clearly state that denying the wealth of creation would be denying oneself, as we are the individual expression of the richness of the universe. These are the key messages that we each have to learn in order to tap into the highest potential of our path. These fundamental truths can free us from any perceived lack or limitation be it circumstance, experience or person that seems to standing on our way and create a world full of miracles. The outer world of form is simply the reflection of our inner world of thoughts, beliefs, ideas, and feelings. Our own consciousness determines the outcome. Do you have any limiting beliefs about abundance and prosperity? Do you have beliefs that tell you that wealth is bad or that only certain people deserve wealth? These beliefs will play a major role in your ability to either block or allow the flow of abundance to show up in your experiences.

There is a presence that exists within each of us. The greater our awareness of this presence and the more we are able to honor it, the greater the presence will fill us with divine light. The more pure our intention and aligned with the divine will, the more we will be able to receive abundantly. Our imagination is the tool that the universal mind uses to draw potential possibilities into our physical mind. Our gut offers us hunches as way of translating ideas of what can be brought forth. The brain is capable of both transmitting and receiving energy in the form of ideas. These ideas are always gently directing us towards the ways we are able to use this creative energy.

The Source within is always aligned with abundance as its true nature. The creative energy of this abundance is always flowing and seeking to appear in the world of form. This flow is expressed through us as the channel filtered through our dominant thoughts and beliefs which color the expression. The form the creative energy takes is the effect. When the flow is uninterrupted it can be made manifest in infinite possibilities. By focusing on the outer expression of the creative forces however we direct our attention away from the true source and we give the material form (effect) our power. We must always be aware of the source of all outward expression as this keeps the door open and the inspiration flowing, otherwise we cut off the flow. Each soul must learn this in one lifetime or another. Otherwise we will keep creating apparent lack and limitation. In other words, this entire experience is an illusion, a hologram or as Alan Watts referred to it, a weaving of smoke. We must not give our power to the illusion or else we cut off the source of our ability to create and cause a separation from the consciousness of the Source within. Turn your focus inward away from the outer drama and reconnect with the divine flow that exists within each of us. Recognize that you are Gods highest creation.

Affirmation:  
I accept that abundance is my natural state of being.
I am abundantly provided for as I follow my heart’s desire and my intuition.
I am always supplied with whatever I need, whenever I need it.
I am an open channel for receiving limitless abundance.
The abundance of the universe flows into this world through me.
I am consciously tuning in to the abundance around me.
I am open to receiving the abundance of life.
I believe in the infinite boundless abundance of the universe.
I now have all the resources I need to create unlimited wealth and abundance in my life.
Today I reclaim the abundance that is my divine birthright.
With every breath I take I am drawing more abundance into my life.

Cultivating your energy field:
Your thoughts, ideas, beliefs and feelings about abundance and prosperity will likely need to be refined or reprogrammed. Many of us are still carrying the energy of experiences that were created from the transmission of limited thoughts and beliefs that reflect the lack consciousness of our current society. We all have a long list of should’s and shouldn’ts and thus the emotions associated with these unfavored outcomes may be stuck in our electromagnetic field. This energy continues to draw more of those experiences to us like a magnet.  When your mind worries incessantly about negative thoughts allow let them pass by like clouds. Declare: I am willing to let go of the energy of the pattern that created this experience.

With higher vibrational thinking we are naturally able see more situations in our life with possible positive outcomes. We can become aware of these thoughts and replace them individually with the use of affirmations. Instead of thinking of wealth as evil, greedy, selfish or exploitative, tune into the spiritual expression of wealth such as good will, benevolence, generosity, service and freedom. By training your body-mind to increase its vibration and then using that higher vibration to focus on your most desired outcome, you will become a super charged manifesting magnet for what you want.

The more I ponder about life, the more I come to one solid realization: The biggest curse and predicament of modern Man is forgetfulness. Like a creeping malaise, forgetfulness has seeped through all of Man’s being and doing. Individually, collectively, historically or culturally, we are spellbound to forget.

We haven’t only forgot our past but also our place in the present and our responsibility of the future. On a personal level, our ego-based state of consciousness is on a mission to keep us in this state of forgetfulness – to break the link to our being as a whole and to the interconnected web of life and universal consciousness. On a collective level, this forgetfulness is perpetuated and reinforced by social and cultural means – mainly by being tranced into a reality of unconscious consumerism, inauthentic lifestyles and a materialistic mindset.

The brighter side of it is that we all have the chance to re-member and re-connect to ourselves and the universe at large. The power of remembering is at the centre of the spiritual path to self-discovery and realization.

Here is a list of what I believe we have forgotten, or more importantly, a list of things to remember:

1. We forgot our place in the natural world:

In the last couple of hundred years we have detached ourselves from nature. We have exploited, ravaged, consumed and attempted to control nature to appease our greed driven by self-absorbed madness. We tried to distance ourselves from the natural circle of life. We forgot how to listen to and understand the natural rhythms and cycles of the earth – its signs and languages. We forgot to follow nature’s path and live in balance with it.

2. We forgot our connection to life and the cosmos:

By detaching ourselves from nature, we forgot that we are deeply connected to it and to the cycles of the universe. Some tribes on the outskirts of ‘civilization’, and who still follow ancestral ways, have preserved this connection with respect and reverence. We, on the other hand have instilled a sense of separateness which drove us out of balance and in dis-ease.  We forgot how all consciousness is interconnected and weaved into a delicate and beautiful dance.

3. We forgot our ancient wisdom:

We forgot our ancestral wisdom. In the quest to gain scientific knowledge through the rationalization of our mind, we forgot the wisdom through the opening of our heart. We forgot the ancient stories and folk wisdom that was handed down from from seers and wise men of antiquity who lived in harmony with the universe.

4. We forgot our path and our dreams:

By stirring away from our inner path we forgot to dream the dream of life. More importantly we forgot how to awake in that dream and see our true nature as co-creators of life – as the dreamers. We forgot that we have the power to weave dreams and use our power of intention to direct those dreams into manifestation.

5. We forgot our purpose:

With too much chatter, noise and distraction in this dense reality we forgot what we came here to do. We forgot our purpose. We are caught in the mass trance of fabricated consensual reality. We lost sight of our authenticity, that inner spark that drives us towards our happiness and self-realization. We forgot that we are here to be realised as spiritual beings embodied in a physical form and embedded in a congenial universe.

6. We forgot that everything is Love:

This is perhaps the deepest mystery of all that only some seers came to understand it as an all-embracing truth. That truth however is hidden somewhere deep inside of us. We knew it at some point but have lost touch with it. We forgot that everything is ultimately energy and consciousness and that love is the fundamental fabric of existence that runs through all energy and consciousness.

7. We forgot to Forgive:

By being made to believe that we are separate and disconnected from the others and from everything else, we forgot to forgive. In its deepest sense forgiveness is the act of reminding ourselves that we are one with everyone and everything and that there is no victim or perpetrator. It’s just all of us together moving together in a dynamic web we call life.

8. We forgot to be Free:

Remind yourself one thing everyday: You were made to be free.

We were born and raised in a ‘reality’ where freedom is only a concept. We were bound to the shackles of fear, misconceptions, false ideologies, material reward and held ransom to rules and laws laid down to safeguard the interest of the few. We were made to forget that we are free agents of change. We are free to be who we are without fear or guilt.

9. We forgot our real power:

Living in fear has made us forget how powerful we are. We forgot the massive power of our will and intention to change our reality. We have been tranced into sleepwalking and following the ready made signs like automatons.

10. We forgot our lessons from history:

If there is something that history has taught us is how fast we are at forgetting our lessons. Time and time again we keep on repeating the same mistakes, stuck in the same patterns of greed and self-destruction. We cannot be blamed individually for the mistakes done by humanity in the past but we are responsible as individuals to to remind ourselves of the past mistakes and pass it on to the collective psyche.

11. We forgot to be simple:

Human life got more complex and complicated. We are seduced by the glitter of more and not by the power of less. We forgot to be simple and the meaning of simplicity. Life is simple really. Simplicity means discarding all the inessential stuff and ideas that clutter the view to our life purpose and the other truths we have forgotten.

12. We forgot to trust, believe and wonder:

We lost our enchantment with the world. We forgot to be wondered by the miracle of life. We do not stand in awe at the majesty of it all anymore. Our skepticism and cynical view of the world has made us lose trust in ourselves and the magic of the universe. We forgot how to believe. This is perhaps the biggest tragedy of all. It weakened our spirit and impoverished our soul.
