Abraham of the day - You are the asker and the receiver

in spirituality •  8 years ago 

If all of you, when you went home today, found your homes had blown away, you would be happier in the days and weeks and months to follow than if you went home and everything was normal — because it causes more focus of desire. There is all this fresh stuff pouring through you. It's like opening spaces to new allowance. If every remnant of success was gone from you — still you stand as the culmination of all that you've learned. And we don't mean learned in the sense that now you know how to do it again. We mean you have been the creation that has been in the process of being created, and here you stand as this clearer, more focused wanter and allower than you've ever been before. Which means, you can take your next breath of desire and step into your next place of allowing, and all that you ever had, and ten times more, can be in your experience immediately — when you accept that you are the asker and the receiver, and the letter-in of all of that.

even tho I'm not entirely sure I agree with the first line ; Having desires definitely has merits. 'You only miss the sun when it starts to snow'. sometimes it's not bad to be reminded of this fact.

I agree the first line is a fairly provocative statement and a tough one to get my head around, but I can see how the immediate and intense focus on re-building would be a more powerful request to the Universe than the one you would be sending out if you had returned that night to a home that was still standing. And I suppose, not having a house would lead to all kinds of new and unexpected adventures...staying at other peoples' houses...meeting new people. Experiencing the kindness of others. It could lead you to a new job... a new lover... or perhaps even a totally new life!

But in order for that to happen, the powerful desire has to be established first. And this is hard to do whilst enjoying a TV dinner with your feet up in your favourite chair :)
