ALLOW NOT EARN (August 2005)

I do not know Ann Marie but found this on a website and am including it as the August newsletter.

It is absolutely a brilliant concept and illustrates an important point.

Blessings and love to Ann Marie for writing this:

I was listening to a recent Abe CD yesterday and they were talking about how we NEVER EARN ANYTHING. This is a revelation. Nothing is earned. Everything we have is because we allowed it.

I have noticed this in my own life. It's quite amazing to me how every time I say I want something, and then I just don't worry about it -- it appears in my life and the money to pay for it appears as well. I have the digital camera I wanted, the Honda Element, the satellite radio, the outdoor dining set, the Treo 650 phone, the iPod, etc. etc. I found the perfect Craftsman duplex to live in -- it's more charming than I could possibly imagine -- with a hot tub and an outdoor shower and a giant yard for my dog and my gardens.

I've decided that soon I'll be getting a KitchenAid mixer, a housekeeper, new bed frame, a new Powerbook, and I'm taking a trip to Italy in October, and a trip to Paris for New Year's. And soon after that I will be building a home in Venice. Most people would call me crazy -- seeing how Venice is one of the most expensive places to buy in the US. But I don't care. This is where I want to live and I know the Universe will deliver it to me.

The whole concept of earning a living is ludicrous, preposterous! Earning implies that we are not worthy. We are worthy just because we are here. Anything we ask for is given to us the moment was ask for it.

Something else I noticed. I was in NYC staying at my friend's double-penthouse apartment (2 apartments joined together) -- 3 stories, with an outdoor shower and a gourmet kitchen, the whole 9 yards.We had a party on my b-day, and it was fun watching people's reactions to the penthouse. They appreciated it, of course, but you know what? People became so nice hanging out in a penthouse. More cultured-seeming, more pleasant, happier. I've been noticing this same thing on that TV show, I Want to Be a Hilton. The people on that show are actually becoming more demure, more polite, more pleasant, and more appreciative. It's very interesting to watch.

You know what I think? I think people are happier in those kinds of environs because it is what is natural to us. It is natural for us to live in penthouses and eat truffles and drink Champagne. Not that we have to do those things. The point is, it is natural for us to be wildly abundant and outrageously rich. It was also interesting to me that on the show and in the penthouse, people acclimated and adjusted to the surroundings very quickly. It became "normal" for all of us very quickly. I think any of us would have happily moved in, if offered a chance. I think this is because deep down we all want and expect wealth. I think it is normal and natural for all of us.

I also watched that show 30 Days (by Morgan Spurlock who made the movie Super Size Me) about people being forced to live on minimum wage for 30 days. Guess what? They got cranky, they got sick, and they became very unhappy.What a surprise. It was also very hard for them to get used to being poor. They hated it! Did you know that the divorce rate among the poor is TWICE as high as it is for the rest of the US? Did you know that money is the number one thing married couples fight about? It's because poor people are miserable!

Why oh why does society teach us that poor people are virtuous and rich people are greedy? Why is it considered bad to be rich? That is the biggest joke! It is not virtuous to be poor. It makes people very unhappy. It is virtuous and right to be rich! It is what we naturally expect and we should all have wealth -- every single one of us.

Disclaimer: And of course I am not saying that money makes you happy and being poor makes you unhappy. I know that even rich people are unhappy. I'm just drawing these examples to show how much more natural it is for us to be
wealthy and happy and well.

Here's a coffee toast to more and more abundance for all of us today!
