The Law of Abundance: Give and you shall receive. Share what you have, and Life will continue to fill your cup to overflowing.
The thing I've learnt about the Law of Abundance is that most of us just don't understand how it works. For example, a person can attract financial abundance into their life, but often forget to redistribute that wealth. Those that have wealth often hoard their wealth and do not share it. Their lives are empty, despite their financial accumulation. They never have enough, because they actually believe in 'lack'. The selfish and the rich often don't believe they have enough to share! And because of that belief in 'lack', for them, there never can be enough. The millionaire wants a billion, and the billionaire wants a hundred billion. That particular person has not discovered the real joy of sharing his financial abundance. His belief in 'lack' causes him to continue in an endless pursuit for more, often unaware of the chaos he leaves in his wake. I've been there. My own pursuit of selfish desires tore apart family life and potential friendships. As George Harrison sings in his recording: "Forgetting to give back, isn't it a pity?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGVjNXlAinY
One must be aware of possible outcomes and 'side-effects' of certain dreams and desires. For example, it is one thing to wish for wealth, but destroying the environment, someone's family, or a community of innocent world citizens in the process ...shows a lack of awareness and leaves one with a closed heart. The karma is instant. Performing 'selfish actions' immediately closes the heart and leaves one 'joyless'. There are always 'consequences' to our dreams and intentions. Therefore, we must fully engage the faculty of discrimination.
On the other hand, those who share what little they have, seem to be always overflowing with gifts of joy and abundance. I mean family friends, like sister Lynne the counselor, sister Janet the resort manager, and brother-in-law Leif the home builder, continually share what abundance comes their way. Like lights lit by a continuous flow of electrical current, their gifts of warm words and inspiring hospitality shine on all who know them. Instinctively, without pomp, such individuals share the giving and receiving of life's many blessings. Their lives are filled with everyday opportunities to share abundantly with others. They are truly happy human beings. Such persons honor the Law of Abundance.
Though the secret to success might be understood, it is vital that the Law of Abundance also be honored. In today's world the gap between 'those that have' and 'those that are exploited' is obvious. The avatar Sathya Sai Baba once said; "It is the privilege of the wealthy to share their abundance with those less fortunate". Mata Amritanandamayi said; "Each day, take advantage of the arising opportunities to help others". Compassion can replace selfishness. Dharma can replace Adharma.
"I am grateful for what the Universe mysteriously provides. I welcome the giving and the receiving of life's ever-manifesting blessings. I am grateful to be nothing but an empty, resistless channel of the will of the One."

So remember these things in your year of 2012:
You are a part of Source, with all the power of Source to create galaxies.
You chose some limitations as part of this game, but your power remains unlimited.
If you are aware of something, you are creating it.
If you are experiencing something, you chose it.
If you wish to experience something different, choose differently.
You create more of what you like by appreciating what you like.
You create more of what you want by imagining what you want and expecting it.
There is nothing you cannot be, do, or have, nothing you cannot change.
