Precious Abundance

What does it mean to be rich? Rich isn’t just – rich in money. You can be rich in many things. So, what is the definition of being rich? Two elements are involved in being rich. One, you have to have something precious. Not ordinary, something precious. Secondly, you have to have an abundance of it. You have to have something precious, and lots of it. And the more you have of it, the richer you are. The preciousness and abundance play off of each other, to make you rich. The two elements have to be.
So, now the question becomes - are you rich? What is incredibly precious? And not only precious, but what do you have that is precious, and you have an abundance of it? There is something. And its not dollars and its not diamonds. It is another kind of wealth. And one thing that is incredibly precious is this breath that comes in and out of you. Not only is it precious, but it comes in abundance. Not just once. Because that wouldn’t make you rich.
The two tests that it has to pass – precious and abundant. This breath. Everyone has this. This life is the most beautiful gift that we have been given. Life. What is life? Many, many definitions? But if you want to look at life, look at it this way: it is a bunch of layers. Only one sheet is real. The rest of it is just a bunch of translucent overlays on top of that real sheet. And sometimes, the overlays become so many, that you lose sight of the real sheet. What I do is I ask people to lift those layers one by one, and see that they are only the layers. Every layer is changeable. And every layer represents a change. The only thing that does not change is the basic fundamental layer on which everything is developed.
Life too is very much like those layers. We’ve got our relationships, we’ve got our friends, and we’ve got our ideas, our job, this happening ,that happening. Pretty soon, we get caught in all those layers, and we forget what the main sheet is all about. It is about fulfilling your thirst. It is about experiencing that heaven.
You being here, to me, indicates that you are sincere about getting joy out of this life. If that’s what you are interested in, I can help you. I can make that a reality for you. Peace. In this life.
It is not a question of doing anything. It is a question of undoing. That which you are looking for is already inside of you.
