Yboy 01 jesus says abundance

So Jesus Says to Me, “Deny Thyself, Resist Not Evil, and Ask Abundantly” Source: http://yourbrainonyou.com/deny-yourself-resist-not-evilget-rich/

By Drew Doggett

But to get rich I have to get better at serving people. I also have to maximize my spirituality, my love, compassion, my fitness, my health, my honesty, my relationships, my sexuality, masculinity… every area.

This is what I’m called upon to do by Jesus… to move beyond ego identification… to move beyond time, beyond thinking… and just to be, to breathe.

And then to serve.

I remember riding the bus to and from work and school in Denver many years ago, reading Thomas Merton’s Life and Holiness (http://amzn.to/1dmeQFC) and wanting with all my heart and being to be as a clean window so that all of God’s light could come through and I would do nothing but His will. I wanted nothing more than to be the tool of his will.

His servant, 100%.

Complete surrender to love, light, radiant Being is high on my list of all-time interests and passions.

He’s said “Deny thyself,” as well as “Resist not evil.”

And these suggestions are to get me closer to my soul.

Closer to the unlimited radiance and outpouring of my soul.

“Deny thyself” means, to me, to cease identifying my self with thought-forms. Instead, to just be, just breathe.

Be seated in the source of love, light and Being that we are made of, without thought. Deny your false forms — that which we normally think of as ourselves — and embrace our true Being, our one Love.

Live as love, not as thought.

When we resist evil, we bring ourselves to its energy level.

By resisting not evil, we radiate cleansing sunlight, energy, and warmth, continuously.

Just as the actual sun shines forth on everything, without discriminating, without trying to withhold its beneficial rays from anyone or thing, we should be like the sun and shine forth our goodness and love indiscriminately.

Flow. Not resist.

“To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.” ~ Eckhart Tolle

Now, after years of struggle — even into the depths of alcoholism (years ago) — I’ve figured out that the very best thing I can do for the whole world is

to make the most of myself.

I can serve God and man best by maximizing myself… in every area, including getting rich.

places.

Not even a lot of money.

If our collective intention would simply shift to accommodate “the least among us” and we would give our money outside of our local churches and communities, the world will be a changed place, very quickly.

Giving so selflessly and thus aimed at the biggest problems of the world, the author says, would certainly draw attention to the Christian church, for then Christians would IN DEED be practicing the Christ-like life.

Jesus has also said that I can ask largely for what I want… that as big as my dreams and aspirations for my soul and the way I want to live my life are, all the better.

Because “It is your Father’s pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

A passage about GRATITUDE from one of my favorite books: “Draw nigh unto God, and He will draw nigh unto you.” That is a statement of psychological truth. And if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in Formless Substance will be strong and continuous; the movement of the things you want will be always toward you. Notice the grateful attitude that Jesus took; how He always seems to be saying, “I thank Thee, Father, that Thou hearest me.” You cannot exercise much power without gratitude; for it is gratitude that keeps you connected with Power.

Although I’m still coming up to it, a big part of my life is going to be helping people in Africa and Asia and encouraging a worldwide movement, I hope, of giving our money to express our love.

I want this giving mentality to be the norm across the world.

I know people already give a lot, but just a slight shift in our consciousness can produce a more fulfilling experience personally, and a happier, more just, and balanced global experience.

(I’ll be writing more about this here as time goes on.)

Jesus calls upon us to so love our fellow man that we would get rid of all our stuff and our wealth to help him out.

Jesus calls us to the Common Good. And I base my life around that.

One of the most moving books I’ve ever read is called The Hole in Our Gospel (http://amzn.to/1aLEN4o). It paints a sad, fact-based picture of the state of the world’s poorest people and all the shit they have to deal with on a day to day basis, including disease, lack of food and water, death, war, rape, murder, lack of education and general development.

Yet it’s inspiring, compelling and hopeful, too. In a way that I’ve never seen before it demonstrates how the Christians of the world — and all people, really — can show their love by giving of their money in the right

Like Andrew Carnegie said, “I’m going to spend the first part of my life accumulating money, and the second part giving it all away.”

All the more reason to be a rich man… in soul, in heart, in relationships, in money… Be and act rich inside and out.

Let my love, my sun, my light touch everyone indiscriminately.

And give my all to those in need. Serve in whatever ways I can.

There are ways I haven’t even thought of yet (or that haven’t come to me) in which I will serve my fellow man.

We must love our human family so much that we would give up our things.

We can’t be afraid of losing our material objects, or objects of identification.

Yet if we were all poor in this economy, we wouldn’t be able to help those in need, for then we would be in need, too.

So it is best to have money, because money means resources. And it’s best to use money for good.

I don’t attend church at all. But I love connecting spiritually with people.

I want my whole life to be spiritual, so daily I read, pray/meditate, renew myself, think harmonious, powerful thoughts.

Every moment of life is sacred.

I value good deeds in my heart over money.

Every connection with another person is sacred.

… and I like money! Money is freedom to do anything in this physical world.

Coming together with the intention of living a spiritual life, of living and giving love as a way of life… sacred, holy.

But all the money in the world isn’t worth shit if you don’t know that it’s what’s in your heart, your mind, your soul that allows you to ENJOY the physical life.

The heart makes the man, not the clothes.

I often think: It’s not my money. It’s God’s money. I can’t take it with me. But I can use it for my world community.

God also wants me to be happy, so I’ll use money on improving and maximizing my life, but I always keep in mind Jesus’s Great Commandment and how Marcus Aurelius is always talking about what’s good for the community is good for the one.

It’s always about humanity.

I don’t need church to maximize my spirituality and oneness with God. But I do need other people.

The more harmonious we are in the heart and in how much thought-identification we’ve let go, then the better we become; the more holy, the more sacred; the more we learn; the deeper (or higher, if you will) we become.

Righteous!
