And, oh, this planet's ability to yield to you: you have not even scratched the surface of it. It is a continually replenishing environment. And you would never be able to get your planet imbalanced by utilizing more of its resources than it could produce. It just cannot happen. "
-Abraham-Hicks
Scene on Spring Farm - watercolour on Bockingford 300gsm 8" x 6" - Maree©
While sketching this wonderful scene at Spring Farm the other day, it reminded me of an article I read on someone's blog, saying, "We have been guilty of taking more than our share and expecting more than the Earth could provide for all the people in her care."
This is not possible - Earth and her resources cannot run out or be finished, although that is what mass consciousness would have us believe - the supply in the Universe is unlimited, it is there for us to tap into.
If you want more to come (money or anything else), you've got to find some way of getting off the subject of "not enough", and the easiest way is appreciation of what we have. The "allowing mode" feels like fun, feels like joy - the "resistant mode" feels like tension, feels like hate.
There are enough resources for everyone to have everything they want.
Mohandas K. Gandhi got it completely wrong when he said : "There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed." It is mass consciousness thoughts like this which disallows all the abundance we deserve, and which the Universe supplies in endless abundance.
I love this Maree - Particularly your use of colour. Really lovely painting :0)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra! The field was SO un-ploughed and the soil looked so rich and fertile!
ReplyDeleteI believe Gandhi got it "Right", there is a difference to need and greed. Greed comes of selfish-self-centered thinking, rather than holistic healthy sharing of natures gifts with one another. Gandhi belief states there is enough to go around; yet why does one choose to covet to themselves more than can be utilized in one lifetime. Fact is, its mans Greed which is destroying the environment, its greed for excess which has caused the oil spill off the coast of Mexico. Greed opposes Spirit.
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, it is my belief that there is no shortage and that nobody can have so much (and covet to themselves) to the extent that there is nothing left for anybody else or that it will destroy the environment.
ReplyDeleteAll lack-based conclusions are erroneous, and not validated. Your conclusion that there isn't enough of something — whether it is enough land or enough money, or enough clarity — your feeling that there is not enough of something, stems from you learning, without meaning to, a vibration that holds you apart from what you want. But you imply that there's not enough in the bucket, that there's not enough in the pile, that there's not enough in the Source — that the Source of what you want is somehow limited. And since the Source is limited, then those greedy buggers that have managed to figure out how to get it in their life, are somehow depriving you of it. And I say, oh, you could not be further from the fact of the abundance of Source.
