On Day 136<\/a> and Day 202<\/a>, we learned that the law of attraction is a distortion of truth. Today, we will learn that the ego\u2019s ideas of abundance are a distortion of abundance.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading defines abundance as \u201cfull awareness of your divine nature.\u201d We often call that awakening or enlightenment. The reading also says, \u201cAbundance cannot be defined in any other way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look at your list of abundance. Are there material ideas of abundance on that list? Are there experiential ideas of abundance on the list?<\/p>\n

Whenever the mind tries to define abundance, it thinks about material or experiential ideas. For example, for one personality-type, the mind\u2019s list of abundance might look like this:<\/p>\n

– Plenty of money so I am financially secure until my death
\n– A nice house to live in with beautiful furniture and art work
\n– A swimming pool, a well decorated meditation room, an art studio
\n– The time and the money to travel all over the world
\n– Physical health for me and my family<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s reading says that abundance \u201ccannot be defined within the limits of the world.\u201d That means the previous list, or any list of material and experiential ideas, is a distortion of abundance.<\/p>\n

If you look at the dictionary definitions of abundance, you will see that none of the definitions use the term \u201cunlimited.\u201d They may say, \u201ca large quantity of\u201d or they may say \u201cample quantity\u201d or \u201ca relative degree of plentifulness,\u201d but the dictionaries do not define abundance as unlimited.<\/p>\n

Any material or experiential idea of abundance is a limited idea \u00a0<\/em>of abundance. Therefore, it is not full, complete or unrestricted abundance.<\/p>\n

If you look deep within your heart, you will find that your heart is not interested in limited abundance. The mind is interested in limited abundance, because in the pursuit of or the attachment to limited abundance, you maintain identification with the mind.<\/p>\n

The heart is only interested in true abundance, which is abundance beyond all limits and beyond all definitions. It is \u201cfull awareness of your divine nature.\u201d\u00a0 It is abundance that transcends the world entirely.<\/p>\n

The reading says:<\/p>\n

For this reason, quiet the mind whenever it seems to stretch to imagine abundance within the world. When the mind is stretching in this way it is stretching to limit itself even more.<\/p>\n

Those who believe that material or experiential abundance will fulfill them are identified with the temporary body-personality-mind as who they are. That is the limit that mind\u2019s ideas of abundance put on you. The mind\u2019s ideas of abundance limit you \u00a0<\/em>to a temporary manifestation.<\/p>\n

Do you want to be limited in that way, or do you prefer to know true abundance as what you are<\/em>?<\/p>\n

The reading also says:<\/p>\n

It is through witness that you know. That which you taste as witness cannot be forgotten\u2026<\/p>\n

In other words, spend time noticing life-awareness. It is through the direct knowing of your Self that you know your Self. You cannot know your Self through the mind\u2019s concepts, no matter how lofty those concepts might be.<\/p>\n
