Luck or Prosperity in the New Thought Teaching
The New Thought/Metaphysical teaching gives no thought or credence to luck, be it the Irish luck of kissing the Blarney Stone, or in any other form. Luck is associated with coincidence which is likewise not held in New Thought. Rather New Thought teaches that we are guided by Source to a serendipity which brings us to our good by our willingness to recognize the good within the circumstance.
New Thought is a teaching based in the teachings of Jesus, acknowledging that God is all, which makes God the Source of all prosperity, be it financial, health, relationships or in any circumstance. Since God is the Everpresent Source of all abundance, we as It’s creations have only to tap into that abundance in our own lives and claim it as our own—in the highest good of all concerned- exactly as a buffet table of food where we choose what and how much we will place on our plate.
With Spirit as our Source, our participation is in self-responsibility for how we use our empowerment to align with Source and therefore become open vessels for accepting our inherited abundance. This means that our job is to remove negative self-talk, negative thinking, negative expectations-which are all blocks to accepting prosperity. As we become positive open loving thinkers and actors, giving good in any form to life, Life responds by filling us with good, often good beyond our greatest expectations, which also need to be free flowing. One of these positive thoughts and exceedingly freeing is GRATITUDE- for gratitude for what is opens up pathways to prosperity beyond what we are experiencing at the moment.
So at the bottom line, realizing that God is our Source, the actual actualization of prosperity in our lives is an inside job. I trust you will choose to take on your footwork on the pathway to realizing your prosperity.
Happy moving toward March Prosperity.
