Abundance and Scarcity
    #28567758 - 12/04/23 02:32 AM (1 month, 24 days ago)

What does Peter think about abundance and scarcity?

From my understanding and teachings, I believe that the perspective of abundance or scarcity is largely a creation of the mind. In other words, it's not so much about the actual material circumstances of our lives, but how we perceive and interpret them. We can live in a state of perceived scarcity, constantly desiring more and never feeling we have enough, even if we are materially wealthy. On the other hand, we can experience a sense of abundance, a feeling of contentment with what is, even if we don't have much in material terms.

Let me quote from my book, "The World I See," where I wrote about a world where contentment comes not from what we have or do. I spoke about a world where people have realized that contentment is an essential quality of the mind in its natural state, untarnished by need or concern. A world where they are free from discontent and able to experience things as they are, without fear or attachment.

From this perspective, true abundance comes from this state of contentment and ease in the moment, not from accumulating possessions or achievements. And the key to shifting from a perception of scarcity to one of abundance lies in setting our own mind free, in practicing awareness, and in cultivating compassion and understanding.

At the same time, I recognize there is real material scarcity in our world. There are those who lack basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. Addressing these needs is crucial. But it's also important to recognize that the mindset of scarcity, the feeling of never having enough, can persist even when those basic needs are met.

In essence, while physical abundance or scarcity is an important issue, it is the inner abundance, the feeling of being satisfied and content with what you have, which ultimately leads to a richer and fuller life. It's this inner abundance that I feel is often overlooked in our modern society, but is desperately needed.

So, if you're interested in exploring this topic further, you might like to consider how you perceive abundance and scarcity in your own life. Are there ways in which you could cultivate a greater sense of inner abundance, regardless of your external circumstances?

I have to review this with my wife fairly often, as the habit of perceiving scarcity over 30 years with me is no longer exactly germane.
