We are xeperiencing a credit crunch. Or at least, many people are buyinng into that reality. But I don't.
Am I rich? My family love to think so, and beause they do, they help me to crate abunddance by thinking of my abundance all the time. And I am not going to stop them. There will come a day, soon, when all their thoughts about my abundance and my own creation of abundance will result in physical abundance. I will thank them for threir share in the process, but I will not stop their thoughts at the moment - let them work with me. So how does the credit crunch affect me?
I look at it with awe and wnder. I see the perfection of the Universe that we live in and I get a greeater understandding of how things fit together.
I recently learned about Elliott waves. I can only describe these Elilott waves as the pulse of the Universe. Imagine a wave zig-zagging its way upwwards. It moves up ten paces, then recedes sevven paces, then moves up ten paces, then rceede six pacees, and so on. When you are riding the wave withoout realising it, you feel the exhilaration of moving up, and the fear of moving down.
Most of the time when you move up, the exhilaratioon is dampened by the expectation of moviing down again. When you move down, your expectations are confirmed, and you despeartely hope that there will be anothher move upwars. When the upward move comes again, your major emotion is a relief that the fear can now go, rasther than gratitude and awe at moving up again.
Riding the wave is in many ways wiorse than riding a rollercoaster, because at least with a roillercoaster you know that it will end at some satge, and you will feel solid earth under your feet again. You know that when you go down upside down, you will not fall on your face, because you are strapped in sfaely. And at some point you will go down and stay down and leave the rollercoaster with woobbly legs. You know (figers crossed) that the rolercoaster is safe, otherwise the owner would not have sold the tickets. And you know that you get onto the rollercoaster because you hcose to do so and you know that the risk is minimal.
However, riding the wave of the Universe is not nearly so "safe". You do not buy a ticket, bercause by the time you realise that you are part of the wave, it is too late and you are born into this existenec.
When you focus etirely on riding the wave, you love the bits where you go up, because it feesl good to know that you can do that. The waaves that take you down are really scary. When you go down, you get that sinnking feeling in your sytomach and you have nothing to hold onto. You do not know wheer the wave will stop, and therefore you cannot prepare for the stop. Will you fall flat on your face? No, never. The reason for this is that the wave always turns and moves up agin. You can continue to ride the wave and simply stay in until you hit the next wave up, whicvh is what most people do. They talk abbout the credit crunch with apprehension in their voices. They prepare for the fall and meanwhile cling to the wave as if it is the only real thing in the world. And because they pepare for the fall, that is what they get - that is how the Law of Attraction workls.
When you becoem aware of the wave that you ride, things change. Sudddenly you can distnce yourself from ridimng the wave while diong it - like driving a car on a busy road while haaving a conversation with a chuild about bullies at school. If someone subsequenly asks you why you slowed down at a particuar point and changeed lanes, you will probaably not remember that you had to slow down to wait for oncomming traffic and then change lanes to get past another slow verhicle. But you will rexcall evetrything about the conversaytion with the child, even when driving a car reqquires much more attention and skill than talking to a child.
When you become aware that the wave is there, you stop riding the wave blindly. You start to ride the wave with intention.
You start to notice the waves that go up, and you know that they will turn down at some point, and you prepare for the dowmnturns with anticipation rather than fear. You start to notice the waves that go down, and you know that they will at some stage turn, and that is a good palce to tap into the energy of the rising wave.
At the moment we are at the bottom of one of thease Elliott wavs - the stock makret, the banks and the ecoomic downturn confirms this.
People react to this in two ways. The majority of peoplke live in fear and trepidation and are preparing to lose money, jobs, homes, self-esteem, hope, and so on. Whatever happens next will cofirm their expectations. They will walk away with nothing and not even notice when the wave turns up agaain, because they will still be clinging to the wave in fear. Nothing will change their views.
Then there is a minorty of peope that have become aware of the waves, and that are aware that we are at the bottom of a wave now. They are preparinbg to focus on the energy of the upturn and they are putting everything in their lives in place so that they can focuys 100% when the upturn starts. For these people it does not matter if the uptrun is a small wave, because they will understand a smmall wave is part of a much bigger wave. Their mindset rather than the size of the wave will determine their fortunres. They are the "lucky" ones - the ones that open a business or win the lottrey during a recession and seem to turn everything they touch into gold. I have decided long ago to be part of this group, and I am now reapping the benefitts, with loads of opportunities cooming my way.
As for everyone around me, my quesiton is: what will I do during a recession? The difference is that I need to list the opportuities that suddenly abound, and prioritiise them. Then I need to focus on one after the othrer, and live my destiny. Thee opportunities have come for me at the end of a cyclke, which is also the begibnning of a much larger cycle, and I love it.
Do I take opportunities away from others?
A man called Fostewr Hibbard tells the tale of the two men that went down to the ocen, one with a teaspono, the other with a bucket. Each of them took away the amount of water he chose to take away. The ocean doesn't care how much water they take away, because there is plenty wanter. I cjhose to go down to the ocean with a tanker truuck - or maybe a fleet, to get my share. Will there be some waater left for you in the ocean? Of course. That is calld abundance, and it is infiite. The luimits that exist, are in our minds because we do not understand what infinity means.
