Today we're talking about receiving manna.
So and manna,
Just in case some of you aren't familiar with that term,
It comes from the idea of manna from the heavens or bread falling from the heavens.
It speaks of manna is abundance or gift from the divine.
The way you experience abundance in your life is a reflection of how much you are in flow.
Abundance may show up in your life as money or property but it may also show up as goods or surfaces.
It may also show up as emotional and spiritual sustenance.
It is all manna.
The more you are in flow the more abundance you will be attracted to in whatever form you need the universe.
So what this is not saying is that if you are a quote good person or you if you are a dynamic hard-charging ambitious person or if you are a person actively manifesting and affirming that you want to receive abundance that that's going to happen.
Those practices are all about pushing the river,
Trying to force the universe's hand to conform to your own desires.
What this is saying is that the way you experience abundance in your life is a reflection of how much you are in flow.
So when you are in flow when you're living in accordance with being in surrender to the universe and letting the universe lead you,
You're going to experience abundance automatically because flow is a state of abundance.
Flow is not separate from abundance.
And then the teaching goes on to say abundance may show up as money or property,
But as anyone who spent any time talking to very wealthy people know money or property actually do not bring happiness.
They just don't and neither do goods or services and neither does celebrity or being well-known or neither does being at the top of your game in terms of the world view or in terms of the regional view or whatever whatever view you're trying to get to.
I want to be at the top.
I want to be the best.
I want to have the most.
Obviously those are all egoic desires.
Why would we think we need to be the best or why would we think we need to have the most if we believe and understand that we are one?
Why would we have the need to be better than another or to create those lines of division?
And so of course we can't,
We don't.
When we understand oneness and when we accept that as a life of you,
All this craving and desire to be ahead of someone else,
It just kind of goes away.
And we recognize that the universe is providing abundance in lots of ways and here's the key,
It may also show up as emotional and spiritual sustenance bred from heaven,
Manna from heaven.
I don't know about you but if you've ever been in such a state of despair,
You know nothing in your life is working and you can't seem to figure out anything and you sit down in your grief and your rage and your despair and you just ask the universe for help.
And the universe doesn't just come and you know drive a Lamborghini up to your driveway and go here we helped you,
Here's your manna.
Or the universe doesn't just send your album or your book or your Instagram or whatever it is to number one,
Whatever that is,
And say here's your manna.
The universe provides emotional and spiritual sustenance.
The universe shifts that feeling of despair and provides you instead with hope.
The universe shifts that feeling of rage and provides you with a feeling of peace and of love to each other and and to yourself.
And so this idea of receiving manna is really important.
Of course you want to receive manna but we shouldn't,
We aren't here to set conditions around what that needs to look like based on what society tells you it is.
It's not money or property,
It's not goods or services,
It's something much deeper than material things and physical things and these markers of so called success.
As souls we are here to expand and sometimes the process is really tricky.
We get stuck in these wastelands for long periods of time and again this is when we are just so parched,
We are so desperate for sustenance,
This is when the manna comes.
The emotional and spiritual sustenance from the divine.
