Abundance is a process of consciousness. Webster's Dictionary defines abundance as quality, affluence, wealth. But in spiritual terms, abundance does not mean possession of objects. Rather, it means access to the essence of what all things are. It means being in communion with that essence inside of you. True abundance is this awareness of the whole, this satisfaction of all our needs (which are far fewer than we may think). That is abundance.

When you don't have to, don't be in charge. If the child is hiding under the blankets and you say, "Come out, come out, wherever you are," and the child doesn't come out, you can still talk, touch, and laugh through the blanket. As long as it does not endanger the child or break an arrangement on which you two agreed, give your children freedom to express themselves even when their expression is different from yours.

You can start finding your own divine love when you start loving others. But that doesn't count until you can love yourself.

One thing that is taught in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, along with the tone -- the spiritual exercises -- is a process of objectivity. So you're not just mindlessly chanting some tone all day long. You're taught to chant as a method of focusing, but you're taught also to listen. And you're taught also to watch and be aware.

Most of you reading this already have the basics of food, shelter, clothing, and love. Yet you probably still feel in need. You covet many things -- particularly material objects (a car, a boat, a stereo, or even a chocolate cake). When you acquire what you covet, you feel great at first -- for a few minutes, maybe even a few days, you're satisfied, think that you don't "need" anything else. But then, inevitably, you distance yourself from the thing you wanted, and you go on to coveting something else, still looking "out there" for something to fill your needs. This cycle can go on forever unless you understand that when you covet something out there, you are really coveting yourself. And you can never find yourself out there. The very thing you are after -- the essence -- is inside of you all the time. And you don't have to leave the physical earth to find it.

Children need to learn that the rhythm of what they are doing can be their own rhythm when they are alone and when they are with others, they must fit with the rhythm of the group. Teach them the rhythm. See how they fit in. Then teach them harmony: not to be louder than others or off-key, how to blend with the group. Teach them to make their consciousnesses an addition to the group, not an irritation.

Your inability to control your "problems" can bring despair. Then you start getting depressed and go down in your consciousness into feelings of, "Nobody loves me, nobody cares; woe is me; I'm no good." You go into these expressions because you feel you can't control what's going on in your environment. You can control yourself (attitude) within your inner environment, but you cannot control your outer environment.

False images keep us from knowing the truth of who we are. When we attempt to identify with the things that are false, it leads to unhappiness. So if you want to create happiness, identify with what's true and know what's true for you intimately.
John-Roger, DSS
Depression is only a way of looking at things that says there is lack or failure within the consciousness. It is demonstration that you have moved away from your "state of being" and have falsely identified with some level less than that of Spirit.
John-Roger, DSS
People are awakening to the greater realities, which, in actuality, are not seen with physical vision, but are seen, perceived, intuited, felt, sensed with the knowing essence of the Spirit within you. Part of the process of manifesting abundance and making it your own involves acts of faith. This is not just having faith that something good will happen; I'm not talking about wishing on a lucky star or betting your favorite number and having faith that you'll win. I'm talking about a faith that involves your doing those positive things that produce successful results.
