The Artist's Way

the bus, then run as fast as you can.
For this to happen, first of all, we must believe that we are
allowed to catch the bus. We come to recognize that God is
unlimited in supply and that everyone has equal access. This
begins to clear up guilt about having or getting too much.
Since everyone can draw on the universal supply, we
deprive no one with our abundance. If we learn to think of
receiving God’s good as being an act of worship—
cooperating with God’s plan to manifest goodness in our
lives—we can begin to let go of having to sabotage
ourselves.
One reason we are miserly with ourselves is scarcity
thinking. We don’t want our luck to run out. We don’t want
to overspend our spiritual abundance. Again, we are limiting
our flow by anthropomorphizing God into a capricious
parent figure. Remembering that God is our source, an
energy flow that likes to extend itself, we become more able
to tap our creative power effectively.
God has lots of money. God has lots of movie ideas,
novel ideas, poems, songs, paintings, acting jobs. God has a
supply of loves, friends, houses that are all available to us.
By listening to the creator within, we are led to our right
path. On that path, we find friends, lovers, money, and
meaningful work. Very often, when we cannot seem to find
an adequate supply, it is because we are insisting on a
particular human source of supply. We must learn to let the
flow manifest itself where it will—not where we will it.
