Abundance Paradigm


An abundance paradigm is a model that is composed of all our ideas, beliefs, concepts and assumptions about abundance. Paradigms change slowly and bit by bit…but when the fundamentals about the paradigm begin to change, it becomes a paradigm shift.

We are now in a paradigm shift about abundance. There is a new paradigm emerging concerning money, abundance and our power to manifest the things we want in our lives.

The old paradigm about money and abundance and our power around it says the material world is fixed and finite and exists separately from our perception of it. It says everything is limited in supply and subject to shortage. In other words, there is a limited amount of money and abundance in the world and it could run out at any moment.

A sociologist named Thomas Kuhn has identified 3 phases in the birth and acceptance of a new paradigm.

Phase 1: Total resistance of the ideas and also ridicule of the people proposing the new paradigm.

In the last 200 years, more and more people are proposing a new paradigm about money, abundance and our power around it; Emerson, the Fillmores, Emma Curtis Hopkins, Ernest Holmes, to name a few. Many people have ridiculed them. Many people have shown resistance to believe them.

Phase 2: Kuhn says Phase 2 is slow and grudging acceptance of the new ideas but people attempt to explain it using the language of the old paradigm because they are desperate to make it fit the old paradigm.

When I was in a Yoga class at college in 1967, it was viewed by radical or evangelical Christians as a dangerous, evil “Eastern religion” that could send any of its practitioners to Hell. In the 80’s Christian exercise class leaders were using the asanas (poses) in their routines but not calling it Yoga…simply a new exercise. Apparently, Yoga by another name is not evil or threatening!

Phase 3: Total acceptance of the new paradigm because it is now self evident that it is true.

We are SO VERY CLOSE to that phase 3. The old world paradigm is based on the scientific worldview of Newton and the new paradigm is founded upon quantum physics. Even those of us who aren’t intimately acquainted with physics can see that it IS our CSN that brings the material world into existence.

This means that the universe is a system of total abundance and there is no shortage of anything. We simply manifest it when needed through our CSN.

So…be careful what you ask for…you might get it! Because we ASK by our thoughts, our words, and our beliefs. If you believe (and think and say) that life is hard, there is lots of sorrow, and you only get what you work long and hard for…for you, life will be hard, filled with sorrow and you will work long and hard for whatever you get in life.

The good news is…Prosperity is as simple as A, B, C!!

Ask for what you REALLY want. Happiness, joy, abundance, love…all good things.

Believe it is already here for you and be grateful. Believe that you deserve all good things.

Claim your prosperity and share it. Be ready to step up when your prosperity shows up…and share it with others.

Abundance is the natural condition of the Universe. There is no shortage of anything. We are amazing creators, manifesting what we desire, knowing we deserve to have our desires fulfilled.

It really IS all about you. You have SOUL responsibility for your life.

I enjoyed the perspective of seeing how far we've come as shown through the yoga examples in Phases 1 and 2. Question: does CSN stand for consciousness? Best --Rose
