Do not overemphasize however in intellectual terms, but use imagination and feeling. An overemphasis implies a fear, and will impede results. Intensive concentration along these lines should be followed by several days when you simply do your prayer experiments and then let the whole thing drop from your mind, and give the creative inner self an opportunity to work for you. This will insure success and you will not be overhammering the point. Do you follow me?

“I am free to stand or kneel, to run expectantly forward, for there is nothing ahead of me that I need fear, and the way ahead of me is clear and open. I am free to express my joy, for from it springs my life. I am free to bend. I am free to move easily and well, for I am composed of motion, and I move with the motion of my thoughts, which are free and open.”

Now you often projected negative thoughts, not being able to accept the items in the spirit in which they were given. You felt it made you inferior to accept such gifts. This is negative to begin with. You (pointing to me) wanted to feel aloof, and I tell you, superior. There is a knack in accepting and receiving. Your attitude was a rejecting one in general—that is, it was a reflection of a deeper pattern of negative thinking.

Some of this had to do with your own background. There was also a feeling, “Since you do not buy my paintings, do not hand me your junk.” But these people did not feel you wanted them to buy your paintings. You did not project that thought.

Specific incidents may be reacted to freely. But an overall pattern of rejection should be watched. It can extend to ideas, and limit both creativity and abundance. Its basis is fear. When you realize you have freedom, there is nothing to fear in this way. Do you follow me?

Automatic rejections therefore should be avoided. In your thoughts of finances, also avoid limiting ideas, both specifically and generally. If a bill arrives do not think “How will we ever pay this?” or “This will make us short,” for you are painting your picture of poverty, you see. Instead say to yourself “Money to pay this bill is coming to me.” You will instantly set up currents of activity that will bring it about. With the other reaction you close them off and deny them.

Now. You do give to others. Those with whom you work, and those who come here. You give what you have to give. You receive what others have to give. You have helped broaden the horizons of many of the people that you know. When some of these offer you a physical object for your home, they give in their way. You give to some. You may receive from others. You follow me?

It is not I give you a spool of thread, and you give me a spool of thread, and we are even. You give to one in your way, and something may be given to you of a different nature by an entirely different person, and yet it is a result of your own giving. Therefore do not limit the flow of energy in such circumstances.

The feeling (underlined) of abundance, spiritual, psychic and physical, is what is important, and the avoidance of thoughts of limitations. I will have more to say in our next session. You are making it more complicated than it is. Give me a moment.
