Austerity or Abundance?

The exertion of control via teaching us to believe and adopt attitudes that perpetuate poverty consciousness are imposed and perpetrated by those who we think of as the elite/cabal/illuminati desiring to usurp our energy resources for their benefit. It has been said that by creating circumstances that engender anger and fear, a vibration is generated that those of dark intent are able to use for food to keep them going, but by our releasing fear/anger, this deprives them of the sustenance they require to remain in control.

Over the past several years, personally I have had the experience of living in a state of virtual abundance, while experiencing a severe shortage of the energy that manifests itself as our unit of exchange, namely money. 

This condition has forced me to manage the meager funds I receive from the “social security” that I paid into for well over 50 years, and is now being “returned to me” as a “safety net”.  This virtually has kept me in the mindset of a state of lack -- causing me worry and stress, especially during the second half of the month, when the allotment  is running out, and the question arises almost daily, will there be enough of (whatever supply I rely upon)  either food for myself or my “10 pair of hungry little eyes” also known as my furry and feathered babies, or the nutritional supplements I require to maintain a semblance of wellbeing, or the other supplies that are required to maintain cleanliness and relative comfort. Some have advised that I would not be as stretched to the limit, were I to get rid of my “babies” acquired in times where more cash was flowing in, but how do I decide which baby to throw out with the bathwater?  Not an option for me, as my children are a part of me and my life… so be it.

A recent “accident” which was described in my last posting has allowed me the lesson of learning that a) I am being constantly watched over and cared for and b) that there is an abundance of everything available.  By having accepted the concept in my younger years that there is virtue in delayed gratification and frugality in my subconscious thought processes I have managed to constrict/restrict the flow of this life giving sustenance into my experience. 

During this past month, the weather has warmed enough for me to “turn off the furnace to conserve fuel oil”.  Then this past week, it has turned colder, and yesterday morning as I was shivering in my home, I decided to “tough it out” and determined I would lay a fire in the fireplace if the weather did not warm up in the next few days….for the better part of the day, I was feeling cold, lethargic, uninspired and unmotivated.  All I wanted to do was to get warm.  Now this kind of austerity for me is extremely unpleasant as when I get cold, my body starts to shut down.  Yet, all I needed to do was to turn the switch on for the heat, which I finally did this morning, and now I am feeling SO much better.  I am extremely fortunate to have this option. I am reminded of those who do not, and my heart aches for them, especially since I, at present, have limited resources myself and can do little to help them.

The “stinkin thinkin” that we are given by so many in authority (e.g., those who are in power over us) is that it is virtuous to conserve, be frugal, do without, make do, experience lack, deprivation, austerity, poverty constriction, restriction  and delay gratification,  that these are somehow analogous to being good or spiritual, in the meanwhile they are flaunting their excesses and “laughing all the way to the bank”.

The key to unlock this concept for me came from the recent imposition upon Greece of the austerity programs requiring the population to cut back and forcing for these people do without necessities and conserve via their deprivation the resources of that country in order to repay banksters loans that were made to the country with monies that were actually created out of the use of these people’s energy as the collateral for the fiat paper money system that is prevalent throughout the world.  These people are collectively rebelling and saying no more, we have had enough of being used and abused, and it may well be the key to collapsing the old financial paradigm.

We are taught to sacrifice ourselves for the good of everyone else, rather than be “selfish”.  Yet this is really a self-defeating proposal. In explanation, most of us have listened to the preflight announcement about the use of the oxygen masks, in that we must first put on our own mask before assisting any of our children, as if we are experiencing hypoxia, we will not be much use or help to them or anyone else. Therefore, taking care of ourselves (we have taught being selfish is dishonorable and negative) is an absolute necessity before being in a position of strength with the necessary resources to be able to help another.  This concept of selfishness is debilitating, unless taken to excess.  How can any one respond (be responsible) when already depleted of the necessary life force to carry on normal functioning?  The statement attributed to the Master Jesus, “love your neighbor as yourself”, basically means you must love yourself in order to love your neighbor…otherwise how can you conceptualize the meaning of what it is to love?

This Universe, the Galaxy, the Creator, the beautiful water planet we call home are all abundant, and constantly creating.  To be in alignment with these energies is to also be abundant or pro-life (going toward light, life and love).  Conversely, to be in opposition to abundance or pro-death (poverty, lack, miserly) is to be going toward death, decay, and darkness.

In terms of prosperity and abundance, what all of this dialog boils down to, is that the choices we are making in this third dimensional reality of duality by our thinking and our choice of words we are choosing to

Go toward Life  being creative, joyful, abundant, prolific, free, loving, caring, responsible (able to respond), energetic, heart centered,  

Or

Go toward Death being morose, depressed, constricted, restricted, withering, withdrawn, complaining, unhappy and sad, angry, hateful.

These lists could go on, but the concept is clear.  Whenever I find myself thinking or speaking it terms that are going toward death rather than life, it is time to remind myself  to stop…”WAIT, CANCEL, CHANGE THAT THOUGHT!!!  The choice is clearly mine, and as long as I remain in control of my mind, and choose to think the thoughts that are in alignment with Love and Life, no matter what circumstances I attract to myself, they will be positive and lessons learned, rather than wasted with a negative fear based outcome feeding the forces that would choose to benefit from enslaving me and stealing my life force energy.

“Til next time…
