Scarcity is defined as the fundamental economic problem of having humans who have unlimited wants and needs in a world of limited resources. It states that society has insufficient productive resources to fulfil all human wants and needs. Many people hold the belief that if you look around and can point to sufficient evidence of scarcity, that this is a good enough reason to consider abundance to be an unrealistic pipe dream for the time being. This is a pity because with some small amount of education these people would be able to see the world in a totally different light through the Law of Atraction.
That belief looks pretty good on paper and talk on the subject always finds a sympathetic audience. Obviously if you’re surrounded by overwhelming evidence of scarcity, you’re in a situation that is very likely to drive you to feel a sense of lack. Who wants to deal with unsympathetic banks? Who wants to have their car break down? Who wants to get evicted?
Aren’t these negative experiences?
Let’s buy into that mindset for the sake of argument. Let’s assume that these experiences are negative, or at the very least undesirable.
Maybe a Zen master or learned student would be able to find peace among such turmoil, but you probably aren’t a Zen master or a student of sufficient calibre.
So let’s just accept that it sucks to be in a situation that is contrary to what you want.
The Horror Movie
Being in a scarcity situation is like watching a horror movie. You get dragged into the desperate plight of the characters, so you feel their tension and gnawing fear. It is difficult to watch such a movie and not be sucked into its emotional reality to some degree.
You could sit there watching that movie, straining not to feel anything, but what if it is a horror movie marathon and you are locked in? Eventually you’ll be drawn in by one scene or another, and you’ll absorb some negativity. You probably can’t maintain the concentration to feel good or neutral the whole time you’re there, not with those movies playing right in front of you on a gigantic screen and in surround sound.
The same goes with real life. If you’re surrounded by a seemingly negative situation, how do you avoid feeling negative? You can try to feel positive for short bursts of time, but eventually the situation will suck you back in.
What do you do in such situations?
Switch Channel
Leave the theater. You’re not obliged to watch the entire horror marathon.
Maybe you think you have to sit through the whole thing because you bought a ticket. Can’t let it go to waste, right? But if you’re not enjoying the experience, why stay?
If you are some sort of sadist and find the horror situation thrilling and compelling, and you want to ride it out, feel free. But if you have truly had enough and you’d rather do something else, then leave it now. There are no guards forcing you to stay put.
Now you can’t necessarily leave every aspect of your real life behind in an impulsive instant, but you can summarily abandon the old energies that no longer interest you. You can turn your back on whatever bugs you.
Even if you feel rooted to your seat during the horror marathon, you could pull out your cell phone and totally engage yourself with its small screen. You could choose to ignore what is happening on the big screen. You won’t be sucked into the movie experience nearly as much if you do that.
You’re not obligated to give your attention to the negative scenes that are playing out in your life. If you don’t like what is playing, don’t watch it — unless you truly desire the “thrill” it provides.
If you feel you must show up physically, then check out mentally and emotionally first. Give the bulk of your attention to something that is more interesting to you.
Ditch the Bad Movie
What can you give your attention to instead of what you don’t want? Give your attention to what you want. If you don’t know what that is, then focus on anything that attracts you more than your current reality. Turn your back on whatever isn’t working in your life. Leave it behind like you’re walking out on a bad movie.
Some people will probably complain when you do this. Trying to explain to a non-believer is futile. Ignore them, but don’t let their whining get you down. They’re part of the bad movie experience, at least for now. They may come around later, but if they’re reinforcing a scarcity based role for you, it is best to abandon the whole production, no matter how much you like the other actors.
You’re perfectly capable of defining, creating, and then holding a vibration that is completely out of sync with your current physical reality. This is precisely what conscious growth is.
Many people seem to believe they can’t do this, but they can. You do it whenever you change the channel on the TV or surf to a different website. It is as easy as pushing a button. You simply shift your attention from one experience to another.
This is how you shift from scarcity to abundance. Commit to leaving the whole scarcity movie behind. Ignore it completely. Change your attention channel to abundance.
When you walk out, feel free to make a stink about it: “Scarcity, you suck! Worst movie I’ve ever seen. It is so repetitive and boring, I want a refund.”
Cinema Abundance
What is playing in the other cinema? You know the one around the corner that you have been walking past all these years.
Instead of just horror movies, you can enjoy comedies, romances, adventures, and more. The abundance theater is more modern, with crisper video and audio and comfy seats.
To enter this theater, pretend you’re already there. Manufacture the experience in your body and mind. Create the laughter, the excitement, and the lovey-dovey feelings right where you are.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the abundance vibration is appreciation. It is similar to that feeling you get when you just finished watching the best movie ever. What does that feel like for you? Can you reacquire such a feeling right now? How would you do that?
There are lots of ways to load up positive vibrations. Some people do it by listening to their favorite music. Others like to visualize their desires as real. Some like to dance and sing or move their bodies around a lot. It is really not complicated. If I asked you to load up a positive and abundant vibration, how would you do it? And how would you hold that vibration for at least seven minutes?
Vibrations and their realities are mutually reinforcing, so if you have a reality that is congruent with a certain vibration, then all you need to do to maintain that vibration is to keep noticing the reality it is connected to. If you’re in a scarcity situation, all that is required to maintain scarcity is to keep noticing it. So it is very easy to perpetuate scarcity once you’re there.
When you’re in an abundant reality, it is equally easy to keep perpetuating abundance. Your reality will keep delivering more evidence of abundance.
But when you want to switch to a new reality and a new vibration, you can’t keep looking at the old reality since that will just reinforce the old vibration. You have to create the new vibration and/or a fictitious version of the new reality somewhere else on the side. You can do this by using your imagination and by carving out a location in time and/or space to plant the seeds of your new reality.
Plant the Seeds of Abundance
So first plant the seed of your new reality. Wedge it into your current space-time. Then keep watering that seed as you extend it in both time and space… until the new vibration has infected your reality to such a degree that it becomes the dominant vibration.
A preferred way of doing this is to dedicate a block of time each day to vibrational shifting work. If you are working on some fairly significant shift you may need to devote a good one to two hours per day to this. No one is saying it is easy but the rewards are outstanding.
Often it is best to do this first thing in the morning, so as soon as you wake up when you are in a semi waking state and your brain wave frequency is conducive to the process. Instantly start thinking about the new reality you wish to experience. Load up the corresponding vibrations and begin to experience them. Remind myself of some new desires, and I visualize them in a variety of ways. Imagine how I’d feel if you are already there.
As you go through my day, try to extend this vibration further and further into your day (time extension).
The very first day you start working on a new vibration shift, You may only hold the new vibration during a dedicated short session, and if you are lucky you will briefly reload it a few more times during the day if you remember to do it. After several days of practice, you might be up to spending up to half of the day congruent with the new vibrations. Keep building up from there until the new vibration becomes so dominant and habitual that you barely even notice it. After a after a while it just feels natural.
Land and Expand
As you begin a new vibration shifting process, try to keep planting ever more seeds throughout each day. Again, the morning may the easiest for some people because it is quiet, and you are not distracted by anything else, so it is not that difficult to plant the first seed there. But in addition to that, keep trying to attach this vibration to other parts of your day, as if you are trying to infect your entire daily routine with a new thought virus.
As you go through the day, reload the vibration. When you make food, reload it. When you get into your car, I reload it. It should be a natural part of your life. Do this over several days, so eventually you create at least half dozen daily triggers for the new vibration.
If you have enough practice at it is not too difficult to remember to do it, but if you find it difficult, then use physical triggers. For example, you could put up sticky notes around your environment to serve as reminders to load the new vibration whenever you get a chance.
This really does not take any extra time because you just keep doing whatever you would normally do, but shift the vibration you experience while you are doing it.
Once you have planted the easy seeds, keep watering those while you work on planting seeds in more challenging soil. If you catch yourself feeling frustrated, pause and load up the new vibration. Eventually you will be doing this sort of vibration shifting perhaps twenty or more times per day, every day.
Basically you are trying to infect as much of your daily reality with the new vibration as much as you can. Day after day, you are gradually overwriting the old vibrations and replacing them with new ones. The old vibrations are congruent with your old reality, the one you are ready to leave behind. The new vibrations are what are needed to attract the new reality that you are ready to create.
Patience
You may get frustrated by how long things seem to take. But eventually you will shifted your attitude about that, and enjoy the anticipation of seeing the old reality shift to become new reality.
Time-wise it normally plays out on a schedule that looks something like this: At first nothing seems to be changing in your outer reality. It is purely an inner shift, and it seems like what you are experiencing has no resemblance to what you are imagining. The new vibrations are totally out of sync with your current reality. But within a few days, some minor synchronicities start popping up. Be aware that they may be obscure and unexpected, and easily missed. The easiest way is to make a note of them as the may be seemingly insignificant and easily forgotten. Then gradually the external reality begins to change in small, almost trivial ways. People start acting a little differently towards you. You may start getting new ideas. Behaviour patterns start changing a little. Usually after a week, it is obvious that something’s up, but you can’t point to any serious results yet. After a month, you may be clearly seeing evidence of change, but still not there yet. After about 3 months, you should be firmly grounded in the new reality, and now can just stay there without effort.
You should start to enjoy the positive anticipation of what is coming up as well as the mystery of how it is playing out. After all you are now moving positively into a better life.
It is easier to trust this process when you have been through it a few times. It is very much like planting a seed and knowing that it will grow into a strong healthy plant, given enough time. At first you may not believe that a little seed can become a large plant, so perhaps you take a small leap of faith and trust a gardener who says that is just how it works. Maybe you plant the first seed, and nothing happens. The gardener tells you that you have to water and nurture it, or it will die. You try again, and it still does not work. The gardener reminds you to plant your seed out in the open sunlight, not in a dark room. It is all a process of experimentation. Eventually you follow the gardener’s advice accurately enough to see the plant sprout. Once you reach that point, it is easier to trust the process because then you can see the physical progress week after week. But when you first plant each seed, you have to keep watering it and trusting that the process is working even though you can’t see the evidence yet. It will eventually sprout. This article should give you the extra “fertiliser” to guarantee the growth of your seed
When you have planted your new vibrational seeds and watched them grow into a whole new reality for you to experience, enjoy, and appreciate, rest assured that people who haven’t successfully grown those crops yet will ask you how you did it. Now you are truly in a position to tell them how it is done!
