A specific phrase caught your attention in the last post. In your life you either assumed that sacrifice was essential to spirituality or someone has taught you this. Either way it is inaccurate. You may have your exciting, fulfilling and prosperous life and still work for God. In fact, if you have wealth then you are able to be of more help to those in need. Wealth and faith are not exclusive from each other.
Many people in history have committed to poverty as a way of increasing their faith and spirituality. By releasing any needs or desires they only focus upon the work that God wishes to be done. It is this poverty of focus that allows them to avoid feeling any temptation or distraction. There is nothing else in their lives accept the need to help others.
This may still be the chosen path for some people in this life though it is not necessary. You may focus upon your home and family and still be very generous with those in need. It is this solid foundation that will allow you to replace your feelings of lack with more appropriate feelings of bounty. You must always tell yourself that you have everything that you want and need. You are successful and prosperous and you wish to give gifts of love, belonging and health to others. The “belief” that all of your needs being met will help with your charitable intentions.
Now, there seems to be an even stronger emotional response to this topic. You actually prefer to keep your wealth and bounty and only send wishes of health, love and faith to those in need. This is where you have stepped off your path once again. These are the words of ego and selfishness. Everything in life must occur in moderation. Even your faith and spirituality must be moderate. Your tendency to go overboard with things that you want and need does not help you in any measurable way. God does not support greed. If you already have everything that you need, any excesses will be viewed negatively.
You are not asked to suffer but you are asked to be reasonable. Have a comfortable life AND be charitable. Avoid the excesses of greed, selfishness and ego. These character traits are what places blocks between you and God. The neediness of your thinking will constrict the flow of true Divinity and inspiration. It is like having a scratch on your favorite record. The songs will play well until the record player hits the scratch, then the flow of beauty will be disrupted or stopped altogether. This is your intent to be overly compensated for your charitable thinking.
“I will send good wishes to others but I want infinite wealth and prosperity in return.” God does not barter. You must realign with God and good intentions and release any greedy inspiration that you have. If God wishes to provide you with the bounty of love, faith and wealth, that is because you have worked to promote and help others and have not asked for anything in return. The moment you feel you deserve something, the natural flow of the Divine will cease.
What seems to be at play here is immaturity and selfishness. These traits will not raise you up to meet God in Heaven. You will continue to plot your deservedness and still not raise your vibration and spiritual ability. Your game-playing will waste precious time and you will get nowhere. People may play this very game for years expecting something to eventually be different. Why would the Universe respond differently to your immaturity and greed? It won’t. You must find a better perspective and purpose, THEN the response of the Universe will change.
It seems that you have hit an illogical cycle of thinking. “I will continue to be concerned only with my own success yet I will be granted all of the blessings of a spiritual life.” Not even close.
The Law of Attraction will smack you between the eyes and give you only more immaturity and selfishness. Here is your flawed thinking right back to you. Many of you have nearly run the tires off of this illogical cycle. Perhaps this is why you are here? At some point maybe you have realized that some of the things you are doing haven’t brought about the ideal life circumstances that you desire.
So now we are at a standstill. You want absolution but will give none to anyone other than yourself. You insist that God save you because you have a charitable thought but no charitable intentions or actions. You want because you want. Doesn’t this sound immature? It is truly a childlike argument.
You must break this cycle of illogical thinking in order to make some real progress on your chart. Start anywhere. Change your thinking and be genuinely charitable. Don’t just think charitable thoughts but also take action to benefit others. Place your wants and needs into perspective. To improve your vibration and be spiritually successful you must accept that your needs are met and anything that you have that isn’t essential you may gift to another. Holding tightly to any possession creates a feeling of lack. Then, the Universe will fall into alignment and give you lack as well. The emotions and feelings that accompany having all that you need will naturally bring everything that you need. Simply, the Law of Attraction.
Fill your internal dialog with feelings of having enough and create an overflow of bounty. It is this never-ending flow of spiritual wealth that will provide for you and others. Your cup overflows. Replace your greed and ego with the true belief in abundance. God will give you more than enough if you truly give to others. This is a win/win to the Universe. You are provided for and you provide for others. Your generosity continues unless you turn again toward greed and ego.
We went full circle from you believing that poverty is the only way to enter Heaven to finding out that you are the only person you are concerned about. What a ride.
These answers will not change. If you hand out greed and selfishness you get nothing in return. God will not fill those expectations. You are riding that dysfunctional cycle, again. You must release greed, selfishness, ego and feeling entitled. Once your thoughts turn outward and your desire truly is to help those in need, the Universe will provide for you as well. Your cup fills to overflowing and there is plenty for everyone.
