Question:

I live in a development that you cannot do anything without first obtaining permission. Everything must be approved.

You can't pull out a plant without approval. You can't have curtains on your windows with colored lining -- it must be white. You can't paint your patio without permission & on & on & on . . .

The houses are smushed next to each other. And when it rains, it's like a mini flood between the houses.

I want to move but can't afford to. During block meetings & monthly Town Meetings, homeowners complain about everything. They don't like children; they view them all as vandals. They're so afraid that someone is going to break into their homes -- it's a gated community.

They all lived in houses out on a regular street before they moved into this development. So what's the difference with the fear factor?

How can I have money flow into my life so I can move? I want to be beyond this point. How can I create consciously? How can I manifest the things in my life that I desire?

 

Answer:

Part I: Every complaint you mentioned reflects a complaint you have about yourself. (You see the world around you in the same way that you see yourself.) In your desire to have things be different than they are, you are overlooking the great lengths you have gone to give yourself the very experiences that you are having.

I suggest that you read many of the questions and answers previously posted so that you can get a feel for the approach I am offering you. Your perception is that you have not created the situations you are facing. The truth is that only you could create them.

And you created them to have the precise experiences that you are now having. Saying that you did not create them is a way you separate yourself from your power.

The power in you that you use to create your experiences is your abundance. Judging what you create is a way you resist the flow of the power through you.

Abundance is the natural state of the Universe. You don't manifest abundance; you open to it.

Part II: Every complaint you have is a hiding place for your power. The distastefulness of the situations and people you complain about is a strategy you created to keep you away from your power so that you could have the experiences you are now engaged in.

As for wanting things to be different, that is another strategy to divert your attention from the places your power is hidden.

Finally, your perception that your life is not already abundant is just a disguise for the unlimited abundance that is the natural state of the Universe and your natural state.

As long as you feel compelled to hold to your present way of seeing your life, events and circumstances will continue to bother you in the same way. At some point, the discomfort may motivate you to see the situation more broadly.
