changes <strong>and</strong> he emailed on <strong>the</strong> 7 th , saying he was submitting <strong>the</strong><br />

manuscript personally to his publisher.<br />

That was <strong>the</strong> same day I had a Notice to Pay tacked on my apartment door.<br />

I am fully out of money now, getting food at <strong>the</strong> pantry (usually wilted<br />

produce, since most of <strong>the</strong> packaged food has high fructose corn syrup or<br />

hydrogenated oils or some o<strong>the</strong>r dietary horror), <strong>and</strong> wondering when it<br />

will be that my utilities are cut off. I’m also wondering when <strong>the</strong> eviction<br />

notice will arrive <strong>and</strong> how much time I have left here.<br />

I hate being unable to meet <strong>the</strong> obligations of <strong>the</strong> scarcity paradigm. On<br />

<strong>the</strong> one h<strong>and</strong>, if I could meet <strong>the</strong>m, I would…but on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r, I see how<br />

unnecessary it is for me to have to worry about such matters.<br />

On more exciting things, CNN ran a story touching lightly on <strong>the</strong> concept<br />

of abundance. While it didn’t advocate any action, it did introduce a few<br />

of <strong>the</strong> implications of such a world. The Web, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>and</strong>, ra<strong>the</strong>r<br />

exploded with talk, about <strong>the</strong> CNN story, about my bit on <strong>the</strong> Report,<br />

about <strong>the</strong> advantages <strong>and</strong> ethics involved, about ways to start moving in<br />

that direction.<br />

When I searched for sites with “abundance paradigm” mentioned, I used<br />

to see pretty much only <strong>the</strong> boards I had visited <strong>and</strong> discussed it on. Now<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are tens of thous<strong>and</strong>s! I am not <strong>the</strong> only one talking about it<br />

anymore. And this bodes well.<br />

People are blogging about it. People are discussing it on many boards.<br />

People are saying good things – <strong>and</strong> some are saying bad things, but<br />

getting a lot of recoil. It’s amazing to see.<br />

More <strong>and</strong> more <strong>the</strong> paradigm is taking hold.<br />

The eviction notice came last week. I have to pay up, appear in court, or<br />

be out by <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> month. I also received a publishing contract! It<br />

came three days ago, <strong>and</strong> when <strong>the</strong>y receive it, I will be sent a check for<br />

$10,000! Needless to say, I signed it <strong>and</strong> sent it right back! Maybe I will<br />

be able to pay up. In fact, maybe I can get a better place to live. The<br />

roaches here are so gross, <strong>and</strong> I have even stepped on a few, trekking to<br />

<strong>the</strong> bathroom in <strong>the</strong> middle of <strong>the</strong> night. Uggggg!<br />

It’s all so surreal! The Web is humming, singing, heralding <strong>the</strong> abundance<br />

paradigm. The search returns are now up over 200,000!
