Creating Abundance
Through Thankful Living


by Dr. Gwen MacGregor
“Descartes was wrong when he said, ‘Cognito, ergo sum’ - I think, therefore I am. It is never bare thought or bare existence that we are aware of. I find myself rather as essentially a unity of emotions, of enjoyment, of hopes, of fears, of regrets, valuations of alternatives, decisions - all of these are subjective reactions to my environment as I am active in my nature. My unity, which is Descarte’s, ‘I am,’ is my process of shaping this welter of material into a consistent pattern of feelings.”

Alfred North Whitehead, Philosopher
The Law of Expectation


“Energy follows thought, we move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine. What we assume, expect or believe creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs about what is possible, we change our experience of life.”

Dan Millman in “The Laws of Spirit”


As we approach earth’s time of blossoming, it is a great time for a reminder about how we are rewarded by the divine energy force we utilize to bring forth good things into our lives. While we must acknowledge our positive and negative creations, we must also be humble before that beginning force - the Alpha and Omega, which supplies us with the wisdom and understanding of how and why we begin manifestation. This is a perfect season for generating multi-dimensional “Thank Yous,” for all the aid we receive on every level of our being. Remember that our Mother-Father God is the perfect parent/husband/wife. We are guaranteed all manner of comfort and sustenance when we abide in the embrace of the eternal and First wisdom. The physical, emotional and intellectual poverty which exists on this planet today indicates our lack of true understanding concerning the inner possibilities we contain and how to properly utilize energy in all its’ forms.


In order to first create abundance in your life, you must see yourself as deserving, without reservations, because you are a child of God. Secondly, you must recognize that the energy of the Mother-Father Creator is in balance and has no negative or positive charge until it is manifested through humanity upon the earth plane. There is no flaw in God’s energy, only in our perception. The very beautiful and popular Wiccan/Celtic greeting, “Blessed Be,” is about knowing who you are in the context of the Living God within you and hoping your invocation will bring that awareness and mutual respect to those you address. Finally, there must be no gaps between the knowing and the doing. For example, if I create affirmations, write them down but, never invoke them in ceremony or prayer, chances are they will not move quickly to materialize - if they materialize at all. In addition, after I bring forth my affirmations and put them into action, I must fully surrender to God’s timetable of manifestation. My plan simply won’t do. Thanks, Marianne Williamson for that gem!


As beings of light, energy and form, we must utilize all the powers at our command to bring forth creation. Abundance is an automatic function of our spiritual natures but, the lesser will of man reigns over most physical, mental and emotional levels of understanding. Hence, the blocker of most unrealized dreams. As with any form of marriage, either between loving couples or separate but whole parts of our selves, we need to devote more time to getting involved with our internal relationships before we act precipitously or, we might find ourselves going over the same lessons, time and time again.


We can utilize a simple guided meditation as a way to get “fired” up inside and make ready to put our goals into affirmation form. Once we create an affirmation asking to realize our full spiritual potential (at any point in life), we will also use an old magi’ trick and program a clear quartz crystal at the same time. The crystal will “hold” the charge or affirmation as we keep it under our pillow or in our pockets and refresh our thinking periodically into remembering our spiritual nature first above all else. Thus, pushing forward our positive affirmations even as we go about our daily business. The purpose of any ceremony or ritual involving several modalities of spirit is to cement our understanding of how the Laws of Abundance and all Laws of God, work. All things on Earth that carry a life-force, also carry the Mind of God. Therefore, if it is a programmed crystal or glass of water holding better health, it will work successfully if we but see the eternal truth that lies behind the surface.


Meditation of Thankfulness and Abundance:

I ask that the full power of God’s white light within me come pouring forth from my heart and surround me with its’ healing, empowering wisdom. May the wisdom of the ages accept my thanks for all the great gifts I received at the beginning of all time and remind me to be “present” at all times, with my gifts. I ask that my Light of God surround the Earth with my thankfulness and affirm my deepest desire that all of the universe knows how lucky I know myself to be and how loved. Please, let me share my light and virtues with all life on Earth out of love and thankfulness for all the advantages I have been given. May the affirmations of my mouth and the actions of my being always remain as Your Will, not mine. Amen or Blessed Be!


The purpose of the above meditation is to extend our aura of blessings to the whole world and remind ourselves how lucky we really are to be cognizant of the God within and the powers we have at our disposal, minute to next. As representatives of the Tribe of Man, we accept providence on their behalf so that Its power remains constant with us. Those who are weak in spirit or blind in wisdom may take a rest for now because, we care as well for them as we carry this understanding and profound truth. Blessed are the poor in spirit...


I can’t help but think of the millions of children and adults who are suffering deprivation in body and mind even as I sit in the lap of luxury. Being a light-seeker means putting “your show” on the road. The powerful eclipse on March 29th, 2006 began a period of time where the righteous warrior becomes the protector of the innocent on earth. Hail the new Round Table of God! The desolation, fatigue of the land and the cold politics of terrorism (in all its many forms), must be eliminated from the thought-forms of the light beings in every region on earth or we will not continue to manifest brightly. I also ask God that we be given a handful of “King Arthurs” at this time to bring the world back into a place of hope, compassion and greater unity.


True abundance, generosity and gratefulness speaks the language of God therefore, it will eventually spiral out into every aspect of life on earth. We are a microcosm of the greater whole and are able to see a bigger, brighter picture for everyone. Meditating on thankfulness is a small source of support that offers a great advantage to all of humanity. We have an edge, we light-seekers, and in order to maintain that privilege, we need to exercise and enhance it. God’s energy, like the charged crystal in your pocket has no positive or negative charge. IT just IS. And it is the perfect gift. Blessed Be.


“I am not bound to win, but, I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but, I am bound to live up to what Light I have.”
Abraham Lincoln, American President
