The Law of Abundance as a Cheesecake
The Law of Abundance is another way of saying that “you create your own reality” – the things which happen to you in life are the things you visualize in your moment-to-moment thinking. If your thoughts are of limitation, loneliness, poverty, illness then this is the reality you will bring into manifestation. Conversely, if your thoughts are of expansiveness, companionship, wealth and health then you will experience a reality of joy. Putting the Law of Abundance into effect does require discipline – the discipline to focus on what you already possess in your life rather than on what you lack. For example, instead of comparing yourself to people who are luckier than you are, compare yourself to people who are suffering more. Instead of agonizing over your money problems, think about all the things which do bring you happiness and a sense of fulfillment. Instead of dwelling on the partner you lack, focus your attention on the friends and family who love and support you. If you are alone and without a date, invite yourself for a night on the town. One way of doing this is by treating yourself to something special, something which makes you happy. To me this is symbolized by a New York cheesecake, which is my favorite food and to me symbolizes utter joy.
Muslim martyrs get forty virgins when they die, but my heaven is a cheesecake factory. When I’m feeling blue and at a loss, there is really nothing like a chocolate cheesecake or a strawberry cheesecake to make me appreciate all the good things life offers. Really, as long as there is cheesecake, how can I complain? Even for people with dietary problems there are diabetic desserts.
Next time you are feeling down, think about something that brings you up. This is really just a matter of practice. Cheesecakes; think cheesecakes! Nothing symbolizes abundance so much as a cheesecake!
