Thoughts on living in surplus:

If you don't have it you won't get more of it by holding onto what you have or by turning inward.

Until you learn to give it away (everything) you won't get more of it.

Until I embrace where I am and what I have things will keep coming back to me to show me a different way.

Inward = less
Outward = more
Open = more, expanded, possible surplus (love to give away)
closed = fear, contraction, separation (keys to keep people out, keys to lock things in)

The more love you give away, the more love you feel you have to give away.

When we neglect, things go wrong, when things go wrong we blame the thing and not the neglect. We are looking in the wrong direction. If you forget to put oil in your car and the car engine overheats, do you blame the car or the driver?

A is the face of our neglect. We have been facing ourselves in this for some time noe. How we don't see each other, how little we support each other and turn ourselves outward to others and their needs.

If we can turn our attention outward we can multiply and expand.....

think about it.....
