Episode 208: Money Scarcity
The mindsets we have around scarcity and abundance determine so much of how we experience and act in the world. Today, brothers, I want to unpack these themes a little bit and approach each of them individually, focusing first on why scarcity and abundance are not good or bad, but just opposites. Clearly, most of us would like more abundance and more freedom, and it is with that in mind that we can set out on this path together! Scarcity and abundance can be material or they can be mental, and after delving into this, we get into how money plays into these dynamics. In the end, it is all about the data collection we do when we have the experiences and keep moving. There are some really important lessons here around why we prefer abundance, why we do not have to hate scarcity, and how the universe reaches back towards us, reflecting our actions and thoughts. As I have said before, it is only when scarcity no longer serves us, that we are able to recognize and accept abundance, and this is related to the ways in which we have been taught and conditioned. Following this path with curiosity and non-judgment is one of the routes to nirvana, but for today, we are purely focusing on setting out! Join me today, brothers, as we look at the examples of air and salt, and how our perceptions of abundance can change the world around us and reinforce what we already know!
