Prosperous Longing
Prosperity is the universal flow,
not just an aspect of it but the flow itself, as it moves through our own
creative channels.
You have all heard many times that
the universe is abundant and there is plenty for everyone, all you need to do
is open to the flow.
Sounds easy enough, so perhaps you
tried it, and if the initial spurt of success turned sour, you may have lost
your faith in that
approach and tried something else or given
up all together. Well, there is no magic
in life and no way to
reach into the universe to maintain the
flow throughout life without going through ourselves.
The miracle of creation is an
individual journey into and through ourselves.
Manifesting is not difficult. We
do it continually, although much of the time it is done unconsciously. All
paths are unique and the unified field will express
through each of us according to our
perceptions. When it comes to prosperity, it is no different. The universal
field does provide through us and for us, but
because prosperity is much more than having
money, maintaining a prosperous life includes establishing wider perceptions
that include a richly
rewarding sense of ourselves. It does
little good to manifest wealth if the soul is arid and impoverished.
Our soul longs to express itself.
If fear aborts this creative demonstration, the natural flow stops. At that
point, our personality self takes
up a cause of needing and wanting to
satisfy itself through outer sources. Because love is internal and soul’s
purpose is also an
internal one, all outer-directed searching will lead to addictive wanting that
becomes a source of pain.
Desire is a survival instinct but
it can also be a hindrance to a loving actualization of prosperity. It indicates
internal lack, so the
energy of creation is burdened with a
counter-intuitive message of insufficiency. The universe doesn’t know what to
provide, abundance or lack,
so its instructions remain confused
and unproductive. In the meantime, the soul is undermined and self-betrayal
feelings take root.
You can see the circle of
confusion created by desiring prosperity to come from outside yourself. Anyone
with clear intensions can
create a flow of money. Prosperity though, is a deep resonance with
your soul that brings forth a profound sense of Selfness.
When your soul radiates with a
compassionate love that emerges from inner realms and flows through your
being-ness,
this indeed is a prosperous way to
live fully connected to the Source of Creation Itself.
