ABUNDANCE, Calling Our Name
by Rev. Jane Hiatt
Abundance is a beautiful word, a dancing light
show of opportunities, a call and response
of desire, a flowing river of generosity and
gratitude. This is true for everyone. Nobody gets left
out, theoretically. The catch is some of us don’t realize
who we are, so alignment isn’t easy. Many of us look
at our material circumstances and define ourselves
from it. If we happen to have oodles of money, we may
label ourselves rich, but still be ruled by fear of losing
our money, missing out on the benefit of abundance:
peace. Others are not rolling in the green stuff, they
may focus on its absence, how to get it, marinating in
fears, regret for missed opportunities, and missing out
on peace too.
The secret to abundance is that it originates in
another dimension. The third dimension is where we
are staring at our bills and counting coins. We can
experience abundance in this dimension but we can’t
create it from here. Lack exists in third dimension. If
we slip into the fourth dimension, or higher, now true
abundance can begin! I’ve been hearing people talk
about higher dimensions for a very long time but it
always sounded woo-woo to me, like floating around
sipping tea with aliens, sort of “Men in Black” meets
“Downton Abbey”. I figured other dimensions existed,
but I didn’t understand how to access them or why I
would want to.
Now I know higher dimensions are activated when we
focus on spirituality, not religion, although that can be
a doorway to the spiritual. Spirituality is an energetic
relationship to the infinite, generative Force that is
outside of time and space. We access this relationship
through expressing qualities like reverence, generosity,
gratitude and love.
Alignment with our truest self begins by acknowledging
that self as an expression of the infinite,
generative Force. When we recognize this origin
and essence, we know we come plumbed with all the
qualities people refer to as Divine— wisdom, life, love,
wholeness, creativity and abundance. We practice
expressing these qualities and trust that if we turn on
the faucet, the water will flow.
Because we live in the third dimension, the temptation
is always present to define ourselves by our current
conditions. That’s why higher dimensional practice is
so important to keep the stream of abundance flowing
in our lives. We practice by giving and saying thanks.
We practice by questioning old beliefs and having
faith in something greater. We practice by meditating
on the truth of our being. We practice by stretching
outside our familiar containers. We practice by
forgiving. We practice by hanging out with others
who are practicing, studying timeless spiritual laws,
and sharing what we discover. We practice by calling
ourselves by our true name: a localized expression of
the infinite, generative Force of abundance, wisdom,
life, wholeness and love.

Mastering Abundance Book
by Toni G. Boehm
Experience a life filled with abundance and luminosity, where you release
struggle and as you ask, you receive. It may sound too simple, but for those
who know these principles of abundance, it is true. For those who have shifted
from 3rd dimensional, limited thinking regarding money into a 4th and 5th
dimensional higher awareness of limitless source, anything is possible. There
are even quantum science techniques found in this book to support you in
your creation of unlimited abundance. You can master the key elements of
abundance: Be, Allow, Align, & Attract.
