ENOUGH PLUS ENOUGH EQUALS PLENTY
Enough Plus
Enough Equals Plenty
What does that mean to you?
Could it mean that when we realize all our needs are met, that is
enough?
Consider this: As Human Beings, we require certain
comforts for survival: food, water, and shelter . ( and someone to share
with and love.) Pretty basic needs.
Granted,
during these times of upheaval globally, many millions are and continue seeking
just those simple essentials.
As you review
your own basic life, are your needs met? Do you live on the edge of tomorrows'
what next? (does fear control you?) Can you recognize all the
blessings of being taken care of- when you had no clue It was on it's way?
Our whole sense of the Ideal Life is rapidly changing- theres' a
lot of letting go of material things, through
forces of nature or forces
of mankind against his own.
Those ideal times, for many, are rememberances of rural
countrysides, big family gatherings, multiple generations together, communities
being bound strongly, with socials, dances,and picnics. A simpler time- when
hard work and sweat of the brow made us proud. Farming, growing your own food
and finding enjoyment in nature. This can be again. Its happening now with
the Green Movement. M
My
question to you is, if you aren't already doing this, simplifying,
what stops you from doing it?
This is an opportunity for neighbors to acquaint themselves, find
out how each can help another, perhaps begin a bartering service for
different trades for other services. This brings communities together in a
common cause. As more of this is practiced, the easier everyone's load is
and the knowing there are fellow supporters, the stronger the bond to live
in harmony.
Living simple, doesn't mean living poor. Its all in your
perspective, attitude and not falling for the victim role. There is always
someone less fortunate than you.
Remember this.
Humble yourself.
Clear out of your life the gadgets that have overrun it, the
convenient things.
They run on electricity or batteries.
Enjoy all the tasks before you. Find the joy in sweeping a dirty floor and how well it looks after. Simple. When was the last time you took a moment to listen to the birds sing, or the bugs whizzing by?
When did you
look up to the sky, day or night?
To reconnect with free experiences, find the joy in them.
Take walks in nature as often as you can. Even if its to sit by a window and
look into the sky a moment. It will help to quiet the mind, and reflect on your
blessings that all your needs are met. Always. Perhaps not in ways we would
expect them, but they are always on the way to fulfill your basic desire.
You will open up to the ways of Divine Nature, more giving than
taking. All that stuff that held you back will become unimportant.
Its' just stuff. you can't take it with you. You wouldn't want it anyway. Our
attention is directed toward appreciation of Nature, and our sustained life on
this planet.
Quality of life
will increase.
When you find the point of having enough, you'll see you have
plenty. As the acceptance of enough increases, knowing all of your needs are
met, you can help others in attaining enough for themselves, and communities are
once again forged. Enough plus Enough equals Plenty.
We Are All One.

Gracious greetings to all who
traveled to this page in Hidden Meanings.
I found my way to Pastor Bill through a New
Age magazine advertisement during the late 1980's.
I was Impressed by his teachings of hidden
meanings in the Bible, they really grabbed my attention, so I was inspired to
write my comments and ideas on some audio tapes he sent per my request.
We have exchanged ideas and
news over the many years.
He has given me this opportunity to share my thoughts and views with you. For this I am truly grateful.
Now, just a bit about me. My name is Lori. I live in the Pacific Northwest across Puget Sound from Seattle.
I grew up on an island near by. My travels
took me to South Dakota for
a few years with my new husband.
Our two sons were born there. We moved back
to the northwest over twenty years ago. The boys are adults now and are living
their own lives.
I work as a gardener, painter, and awareness life coach. I have been gifted as an artist and writer. The philosophy I live by is being content with what I have and where I am.
The more simple to live, the happier life is. I am satisfied with having enough, and always welcome the abundance flowing into it.
My work with the earth and plants grounds me
(no pun intended). Digging in the dirt is good therapy.
Remember sandboxes and mud pies? Wasn't
it fun playing in the dirt?
I am a solution seeker,
always. There are always choices. The more open we can be to the voices of
the choices, and FOLLOWING YOUR GUT. (the one that impresses your Gut;
that is the core of YOU.)
It always knows the right choice, or wrong
for that matter. Bottom line on that is to ALWAYS FOLLOW IT.
Think about situations where your
mind/ego went against the gut
feeling and the ultimate outcome.
You see, I get off on these tangents of
thought, good to consider.
I will be adding to
this page regularly and appreciate any responses you wish to convey. You may
reach me in care of
hiddenmeanings.com .
For those of you who watched you-tube video of Pastor Bill, on the issue of nobody dies.
I agree with him on that premise. How many of you still carry on mental or verbal conversations with loved ones who've passed on?
Do we consciously or subconsciously know they really aren't laying in their caskets, or in urns just hanging around?
It does sound a little silly. Whether we
acknowledge life beyond this or not, those who know or believe there is no
cessation of life are comforted in knowing no one is in that body or ashes. Its
just remnants of a physical being we knew and loved. The energy that animated
it, the human being moved on.
Lets face it, life in the physical form is
finite. we recycle our bodies and continue on with our evolution as beings of
Divine Light .
May you ponder this and understand it as you will.
Thank you, blessings,
