Winning the Lottery of Life

I’m an infinite being.

Sounds cocky, doesn’t it? But the truth is, I am. The trouble is I don’t always believe that to be true.

That’s the tricky thing about being human – we want one thing in our lives, but we can’t figure out why we get something else.

It has to do with a little known law called The Law of Mental Equivalents. Our minds are a reservoir of beliefs. We may do our spiritual work, but how close are we to embodying our spiritual selves?

Take the lottery winner. A couple of million bucks comes zooming his way, and within a year maybe two, studies show most lottery winners are right back where they started.

Some argue it has to do with a lack of financial experience, but it also has a lot to do with mental equivalents. If I believe myself to be poor, despite all appearances otherwise, I will bring myself back to that state unless I do something to change it.

When faced with challenges, the bigger idea is to get a new idea. Begin to incorporate what you want into your mindset, even if you take only a small step towards that. Evolution never occurs when we’re standing still.

Like the spawning salmon, we have an infinite supply of gold within us. We simply need to release it into the eternal ocean that only knows how to say “yes”.

  1. Hi There, Pretty Lady! Yup, I am an infinite being, living in an infinite space. Further, everything in the world is here for me. Fun stuff to play with.

    Reminded me of the following from Ernest Holmes:

    “You belong to the universe in which you live, you are one with the Creative Genius back of this vast array of ceaseless motion, this original flow of life. You are as much a part of it as the sun, the earth and the air. There is something in you telling you this – like a voice echoing from some mountaintop of inward vision, like a light whose origin no man has seen, like an impulse welling up from an invisible source.

    As Holmes said (more or less), Source is everything, and Source creates everything that exists out of Itself… for what else could It use?

    Love,
    Mike.

    Great post, Karin. I must challenge my beliefs in the areas of finances and weight. Funny how those 2 seem to go together… I want more of one and less of the other! Thanks for the challenge.
