The mind seeks out patterns and logical consistency. It is incapable of discerning Truth from Illusion, as long as both are presented with internally consistent logic ... The mind is a wonderful servant and a terrible master. Everything in its right place, my friend. Dr. David Kamnitzer

The belief in scarcity underpins and shapes the agreed-upon worldview that is the metaphysical water in which we swim.

Most of us have NO IDEA we are swimming in such water, let alone have a clue about how it came to be. Imagine if you could talk to a fish, and you were attempting to explain to it about water. The fish would have no frame of reference for comprehension, since it has lived in water all the time!

Are you ready to SEE and then STEP OUT of this illusory MATRIX

This is truly the "hero's journey" of the 21st Century. Likes all heroic adventures, the choice is one that only you can make; yet once made, a whole new world and community awaits.

In order to make clearer the distinctions between the world views of scarcity and abundance, allow me to quote again from my friend, Dr. David Kamnitzer:

"We live in turbulent times. Competing visions of reality vie for supremacy:

Fear vs. Love

Scarcity vs. Abundance

Domination & Manipulation vs. Self-Mastery

Deception vs. Truth

Violence vs. Peace

Mechanism vs. Vitalism

Resentment vs. Forgiveness

Much of our society has been an expression of the ideas on the left side of this list.

But the words on the right reflect our True Spiritual Nature, a Nature that cannot and will not be denied.

We must go beyond our illusions about ourselves and our world. This takes great courage and commitment. It is a Path with Heart, requiring all that we have.

It would take an entire book to explore the implications and ramifications of the above quotation. For now, let us simply acknowledge that maybe just maybe the world in crisis we collectively see and experience is largely a function of our mostly unconscious and therefore unexamined belief in scarcity ... and that at least OPENING TO THE POSSIBILITY of the abundance worldview might lead to huge benefits, both individually and collectively.

What if we've been duped? What if abundance really is our natural state?

What if we could ALLOW ourselves to CHOOSE to open up to this fundamental "ground of being", and begin to resonate with and reveal its glory?

One of the beautiful aspects of good network marketing is that it is a reflection and expression of an ABUNDANT worldview. Let's take a closer look...

In a 'traditional" business structure, there is only room for one CEO. Many supervisors feel threatened by workers who possess unique skills and abilities, fearing that they could be "replaced". Others may not want to share their hard earned wisdom with you, concerned that you might then do better than them! ... Sound familiar???

In contrast ... in a 'network' business structure, one succeeds in the quickest and most profound ways when one attracts and/or develops team members who are "better" than they are! Synergistic opportunities abound for the mutual benefit of all concerned (just look at "3-way calls Servant leadership is the order of the day.

Could this be why so many people have a hard time relating to or "believing in" the network marketing model? The implications of such a different business model offer a major (albeit often unconscious) challenge to our prevailing scarcity models and even – to our sense of ourselves.

Could this be why so much "personal growth" is required for many in order to succeed in network marketing? ... Most people need to discover themselves in totally new ways in order to tap into the resonance of abundance this article suggests exists.

I don't want to give this article a tidy neat ending ... I want this to be more of a new beginning – an opening if you will.

Each of you will write your own next chapter to this story.

I just wanted to share these ideas with you, because unlike a fish, YOU have the ability (and the responsibility) to question your assumptions and premises in the light of new knowledge and experience...

And as you sincerely question that which you have taken for granted before, your reality is free to take on new shape and depth.

Finally, if the mind cannot discern Truth, where DO we go for real wisdom and knowledge?

Our Hearts, of course – that center of "vibrant stillness" that resonates fully with the Love that You Are!
