There Are Enough Resources For Everyone

...if you have the ability to define it as a desire,
this time/space reality, in which you are focused,
has the ability to yield it to you...

Guest: I'm trying to understand greed.

There are all kinds of statistics that are batted around
about 5% of the population of the world
use 98% of the world's resources...

Abraham: Here's the thing.

We would quarrel with it a little bit,
but let's accept that it's an accurate statistic.

You're really going to like this:

If 6% of the population were wanting to receive like 5% does,
then the resources would expand to accommodate 6%.

If 10% of them wanted to receive like the 5% does,
the resources would expand to accommodate 10%.

If 100% of the population of your planet wanted to live
like the 5% have already decided that they do,
--
...the resources of your planet would expand
to accommodate 100%.


So it isn't that the 5% are squandering the resources.
It's that they are asking for what they want -- and are getting it.

And the other 95% are belly aching about it,
and holding themselves not in the receiving mode,
and, therefore -- not creating it.

There are enough resources for everyone
to have everything that they want.

Guest: So, there is really no such thing as greed?

Abraham: Most people would define greed as
taking more than I need,
or getting more than my fair share.

And we would say to you,
this is a Universe
that has infinite resources.

(People quarrel with that, but it is our promise to you that
if you have the ability to define it as a desire,
this time/space reality, in which you are focused,
has the ability to yield it to you, no exceptions.)

Now, whether you're talking about money
or something else,
here's what's at the basis of the shortage thinking:

Most people have this distorted view that there's
just one pile that's being divvied out.

And if I, this rich old bugger, go with my big dump trucks
and I carry away a great big piece of the pile,
then others who show up with their wheelbarrows or tea cups
will be deprived of what they would have gotten,
because the pile would, after all,be drastically diminished
by the hoarding that I have done from my greedy perspective.

And the reason that we wanted to put it in that dramatic way
is because all of that is such hogwash.


When you ask it is always given!

But, as you do not allow yourself to receive,
nobody else gets it.

When you think about physical Well-being, do you ever say,
-
"I've been healthy for so long,
I think I'll be sick for a few years
to let other people be well?"


You understand the resources that you would call clarity
are yours, or not,but you don't say,
-
"Oh, I've been so confused today,
there must be a really smart person
running around here somewhere."


The only thing that ever holds anyone apart
from something that they want,
is that they are choosing to focus upon
the lack of what they want,
and therefore they are a vibrational match
to the lack of what they want
-- and therefore that is their reality,
or
that is their creation.

Here you are, on the same planet that you've been on
for more years than you have the ability to count.

And just in the last 400 years,
look at the difference in your economy.

And it's the same exact planet.

Nobody has been trucking in or piping in any resources.

There are not more resources present today.

You are just vibrationally lining up with the utilization of them.


And, oh, this planet's ability to yield to you:
you have not even scratched the surface of it.

It is a continually replenishing environment.

And you would never be able to get your planet imbalanced
by utilizing more of its resources than it could produce.

It just cannot happen.

So we would go back to your earlier question and say to you,
greed is a non-issue because...it is an impossibility.

It is not possible for someone to get more
than their fair share.
