In this Western World, my friends, you have been indoctrinated to believe that you must have extra. You must have money in the bank. You must be employed, you must be superannuated or insured. What is insurance, my friends? Do you know, that your God, the Father, the Creator of all things is your superannuation, your insurance, your priority. People think, that they experience lack, because they do not own a house, do not have a job; are frowned upon and are experiencing great discontent because of this. Look at, and discover real abundance; your real supply. You know, I have said this before: You only live in the NOW. This instant is all there is. You live your existence in the NOW instant. Your 'previous lives' are not previous, they are all taking place in the NOW instant. You were created in the NOW instant. This is very hard to grasp, when you have been subject to linear time for so long. My friends, you can dwell in the past, or think about the past and anguish about the past, but you cannot live in the past. You can worry about the future or even make plans for the future, but you cannot live in the future. You can make the most of living in the NOW. When you really examine this NOW moment, that you are experiencing, then you realize, that in the NOW you have shelter, you have warmth, you have food, you have the friendship and love of kindred spirits. You have the love and companionship and friendship; You have all that you need in this instant. When you realize, that you only live in this instant, you learn to have complete trust. It is a big step to take; let it all go. Let go of control; let go of the idea, that you must have extra. Let go of the "insecurity of security bonds"! Be content to live in the Love of the Creator; Who supplies you with everything you need, when you need it. (Sananda) - www.1spirit.com/sananda/
