		<description>Abundance - Thanksgiving day 
The Universe is Abundant therefore all you need to do is become conscious of that abundance.  You don’t have to go far.  Simply observe nature in all her glory, children running about, the love of your family and the blessings of life itself.   You don’t have to believe anything except become present to existence.  If you have to believe it as so many say then what that says is that you don’t already believe it.  Usually any amount of “believing won’t be sufficient because the next time it doesn’t work for you doubt will arise once again. 

What is required is trust and stillness.  In my experience mediation is the pathway to the beyond where you have a direct experience of the infinate abundance that is available. As you engage in the process soon the transformation occurs then you simply know.  Belief is no longer necessary.
Abundance isn’t about money unless you make it about money.  That has more to do with what is important to you.  Money was necessary for Mother Theresa, Colin Powell and Bucky Fuller in order to carry out their missions in service to others. 
 
I remember what Bucky Fuller said during a lecture I attended regarding the necessity of money and how to acquire it.  In essence he said: “Throughout my life I have taken on projects when I discovering a need or problem that needed a solution.  Almost every time I tried to get the money before I began the project I failed to get the money however every time I simply began the project before I had the money -the money almost always showed up to support the project.”  Now that is a demonstration of abundance.  

First of all he knows the universe is abundant….he doesn’t have to believe it.  Secondly he tried doing it both ways and he found out that when he trusted the process or if you will “trusted the Universe” it simply worked better.  “The money showed up.”  As you probably know, Bucky invented the Geodesic dome, among countless other inventions, by looking in the eye of a fly.  The Houston Astrodome is just one such example of how a game becomes a “dynamic event” in that kind of structure.

		<description>Aloha Alex!

Thanks for the opportune time to share my fortune of abundance! While I love Dave&#039;s booty-dance the most, and my own experience of chowing on the infinite fruit of the vine here on Maui...mangoes, bananas, papayas, avos, etc. I&#039;ll share my definition of

Abundance: The absolute knowledge or faith in knowing ourSelves as The infinite, eternal Divine (Source Energy, Spirit, God, Goddess, Universe, whichever name in whatever language we choose) and all the power of expression on this Earth plane we are here to experience by engaging in our Unlimited Supply, that which is us, and feeds us every aspect of our Being.

Thanks so much for the awesome Virtual Abundance Expo, and I do, in fact, have a proposed S.A. idea for you for an extended experience of VAE!

Mahalo!

		<description>Okay, Alex I&#039;ll play!
 
First of all, I would not agree with the notion that &quot;abundance&quot; is the polar 
opposite of &quot;scarcity&quot; as it seems this perspective lends the notion of 
&quot;scarcity&quot; inappropriate power.
 
Similar to the introduction to &quot;A Course in Miracles&quot; (where it is written, &quot;The
opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite...&quot;)
scarcity is a misperception - a myth, a lie.
 
Therefore, my preferred, concise definition of abundance would be:
 
Abundance =
The Truth of Unlimited Possibility
that lies hidden (temporarily)
as long as we&#039;re plugged into
the illusion of scarcity.
 
Warmest,

		<description>Hi Alex

A word which can only be described through &quot;experience&quot; 

Abundance – “A natural resource grown over time whereby life’s circumstances, accompanied by conflicts of the mind are bound by attitude that limit our pattern and belief towards our relationship with confidence, ambition and courage that determine prosperity” 

“It is only our imagination that limits our knowledge, our experiences that initiate opportunities towards a happy and prosperous abundant life”


Thanks

Roy

		<description>Abundance is the state of infinite sufficiency available to fulfill all desires. Gratitude allows it to be seen, felt, experienced, and manifested. Abundance is the constant, endless flow of &quot;Divine Consciousness&quot; to, and through, the Universe.</description>
