I Am Duly Chastised

Advice from Eric Francis to me (see below). How crappy do you think I feel now about trying to put MSU on a gang budget???????


Basically, you have everything going for you. But in order to feel the wealth and abundance that are available, you need to let go of any attachments you have to scarcity and poverty. If you feel like you are lacking, you will be unlikely to notice the wealth, both spiritual and material, that is available. If you feel like you must withhold, you will be unlikely to share in the generosity that is available at this moment. Don't take too long to make up your mind about whether this is really true. You have done plenty of intense pondering the past week or so, and you have broken the issue down to its most basic philosophical tenets. But these are not idle or academic theories you are working with; the question really amounts to whether your relationships benefit everyone involved. You must insist that they do, and be ready to receive what comes to you as a result.

Ha, I read this exactly the opposite as you do apparently.

this seems to SUPPORT what you are trying to do. It states "this is the question to ponder". You "MUST insist they do", is exactly what you have been trying to achieve.
