Can you remember being suddenly unemployed or maybe you are aware any person who is? Ive already been there produced the big mistake of waiting too long to submit for unemployment, thus disqualifying myself. After my husband and then i was required to close down our animation software company and make everyone go, we’re living off cards and borrowing money from family and friends. We’re getting deeper into debt and were unable to find jobs that would exchange the high income we’d had for many years. Every application I submitted for nearly a year was taking over numerous others, not to mention the fact that I’m 58 yrs old.
Since we had some savings, we spent months making low-ball offers on houses among the Southern California real estate property market in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, wherein the REO’s (homes operated by banks) were growing in numbers. We thought we might become landlords of residential properties in an effort to have an income, before our savings ran out. But the banks weren t accepting offers and of course the auctions were selling houses at retail prices. We maxed out our credit cards finding out how to invest in industrial real estate, since buying houses in fact wasn’t working.
Our financial life was getting pretty scary during this period, as you can well imagine. And every one of the doing, doing and doing and trying and hopefully getting back on this feet financially we both thought he was getting us nowhere. Our money situation was continuing to get worse and worse.
My spiritual path was the only thing that held me up during that year… my faith among the goodness of the Divine and knowing the Divine Presence lives within me. My husband has comparable spiritual beliefs Keeping concentration toward the higher Self plus the innate goodness and abundance of one’s universe kept us from falling apart.
Something began to change. Something big.
First, good for me, the illumination from my Soul was becoming brighter as I turned my attention within. I began to produce a conscious mission to ignore all of the disapproval I had created in my personal time. In the future I spent three hours just giving Love and approval to myself. Finally it was an awesome cognition because who was giving like to whom? It was actually my higher self – God within me, the pure Soul, my pure Beingness – who was giving Like to the young me, the relative me, the ego/mind/intellect me.
Like the days happened, I was able to release increasingly more disapproval of myself. This nurtured a fresh, pervasive loving feeling toward my whole world, ugly mainly because it seemed, along with a loving feeling toward everyone I met and saw around me. I came to be consciously practicing “loving exactly what is” whenever I was able to don’t forget to throughout everyday. I soon became lighter and lighter. By the way, I didn t invent this. “Loving what exactly is” received from ancient teachings and also from modern spiritual teachers (like Byron Katie) in the contemporary arena.
My husband, too, continues to be practicing Loving What exactly is. It is a very powerful, high teaching. It is eleminating block we have to receiving and most definitely has given us a new outlook on life. Alternatively to hating our life, we now love even that bad stuff, like IRS suppression happening to us, and amazingly, the reults are changing. We happen to be walking in the in Light, which on my own indicates that that focuses on Loving every molecule of what is happening is creating a gap for Grace to flow in your lives. And which could be so much better that? Is that this the seed of true enlightenment? Almost everything that experienced would be a separation from what our physical bodies were surfing through and then we felt very unattached and bathed in equanimity.
When we became lighter, small miracles began to happen.
While we have been gradually accepting what we didn’t like about our lifestyle, the byproduct is our resistance began to diminish. The old saying goes, “The things you resist persists.” The less resistance we looked like have naturally, the more we wanted to not resist. The better we did not resist, the better the door started open. By this I’m implying the house to abundance.
We realized that we had been resisting the reduction of your business, the cut of our income, the reduction of our own wealth. We had become so resistant that the stress almost did us in. However, when we passionate about align ourselves with the natural flow of the cosmos, to simply and gently accept the karma that was discharging from these an uncomfortable way, we began to settle down. We became happier…purely for the sake to becoming happy. We began to laugh again.
Clearly as the basic energy inside is became lighter, we have been resonating on a higher frequency. This space was welcoming and producing. Therefore we commenced to magnetize better things. I had created someone call me unexpectedly, asking me to become his private art teacher. I was offered a part time job with a lawyer and also have tons of sparetime to start my new business. My husband was invited to turn into a business partner with a friend who might be a beneficial a house investor. Just as before, our life is vehicle of peaches.
We have now surmised that each one of a given hardship which has happened was made to be. We lifted our thoughts and inner being toward the divine. Therefore we surrendered towards the natural transfer of what is, accepting it and loving it. Who may have thought most of us would get come until now in their development as souls in such a short time?
Finally, you’ll find that we have become eternally grateful when it comes to the opportunity that those difficulty brought us… the opportunity to skyrocket above almost everything, to increase above our little selves, and truly experience life coming from a spiritual viewpoint. This is what has changed our lives forever.
