Manifestation, Sympathetic Joy, Shadow Self

You are continuing to await the manifestation of abundance in your life. However, you must first recognize the incredibly abundant life you already live. You must appreciate what you have been blessed with before you are ready to receive even more. When you look at your glass as half-empty then you will always feel like you are lacking something. Always feel that you are completely filled up with the blessings given by God. However, at the same time always feel like you are completely empty in terms of your understanding of the universe and the spirit. Always be anxious to be filled with knowledge and with inspiration. At the same time be willing to look at the aspects of your personality that are still holding you back. The selfishness of the ego is the primary culprit. Constantly be aware of the ego and its desire to hoard and accumulate for its own personal pleasure. Instead you must take pleasure in giving of your abundance to others. Instead of striving for selfish happiness seek instead sympathetic joy, the ability to be completely fulfilled through the achievements and growth of others. When you have fully embraced this attitude then you will be able to manifest incredible abundance , since you will use it wisely to assist in the spiritual growth of others who are in greater need than you.
