The Illusion of Lack

There is a common belief that lack exists in our world. By lack we mean there is not enough of something or it is limited in its quantity. This is evident in the idea that there is a limited supply of just about anything you can think of like food, money, oil, cars etc. Some actually believe that “in order for me to have something then somebody else is going to go without”. As a society we have a whole system set up to count or measure the amount of anything. We then use that system as proof that there is a limited supply. Unless one is willing to see beyond what they see with their actual eyes they may not ever realize there is so much more.
This concept of lack or limitation is not only seen in the material things of our world but also within each individual. Do you think that you do not have patience or strength or love or friendship? Do you think you can only be so happy? If you are experiencing a stressful or trying situation and you feel that you do not have the strength to endure, the patience to cope, then you have a belief that you lack that which you want.

This belief is so predominate within us and society that it could be called a core belief and as such it is ones programming for how they view the world. Some might call this a subconscious belief for while you have this belief you may not be aware of it nor aware of the impact it has on your life. It operates on automatic or so it seems.

We call this an illusion because this belief is based in what one perceives with ones eyes or has come to know through experience but because we are powerful creators, we do not realize we are the ones creating this based on a belief that there is not enough of everything for everybody. It becomes a vicious cycle…you believe in a limit, a reality is created based on that belief and then through the Law of Attraction it is reflected back at you thereby offering proof or a confirmation that your belief is accurate.

We look at war and say we desire peace. We say there is no peace because we have war. Just because we have war does not mean that peace is absent or does not exist. It is there for despite war in one area many more are at peace. Just because we see violence in our society and count how often this occurs does not mean there is no peace for there are so many more living in peace. However we see the war and the violence and make a broad statement that our society is a violent society. This is a limiting perspective based on a set of criteria that is limiting in its scope. It gives us a skewed perspective. As an example if the violent crime rate for a city is 17, that means 17 out of 1,000 people experienced a violent crime. It is weighed based the entire population of that city. Sounds logical, doesn’t it?

What it is really doing is just reflecting back at us our belief that we have a violent society. How you react to this is an indicator as to if you have a belief that there is a lack of peace. How you judge this “fact” is an indicator of you have a belief in lack of peace. We actually have a society where both exist at the same time. It is when we try to quantify the “how much” of each exist that we run into trouble and begin to limit our perspective.


When you adopt the belief that the Universe as well as our world and us as individuals is always expanding it open you up to the limitless, the infiniteness of all that is. It becomes your perspective and effects how you view your world. You no longer rely on your eyes to confirm what you have come to believe. You become aware that all that you desire, you already are. That it all exists within you. You come to realize that you already are that which you want. You start to believe that you can be, do and have anything you desire from within.

How Beliefs Can Affect your Life Part 2

Many of us are not always aware of our beliefs or may not even recognize that we do have a belief about something. We just do not take the time to think about it. To help you with this on a piece of paper write down your beliefs about these common areas of life: marriage, religion, money, health, work. You can add to this list as you so desire but this will get you stated.


As we discussed earlier most beliefs stem from a belief in lack of something or the separation of you from everything else that exists. To help you identify if your beliefs stem from with of these two core beliefs lets examine some common beliefs and trace it back. A belief about money that stems from a belief in lack may show up as “Money is the root of all evil” or “I don’t want to be rich because it ruins people lives”. You may have these beliefs because you have seen this happen to others and do not want it to happen to you. Now if you are struggling to pay your bills and desire money so that you can pay your bills can you see where these types of beliefs will limit your ability to manifest the money you desire? You are holding back what you could be manifesting because you do not want to be rich as you define it. The reason this stems from a belief in lack is because you believe you lack enough money to pay your bills. So on hand you believe you do not have enough money and on the other you desire money but then say “no” to it due to your beliefs. What other things in your life do you see as not having enough of? Happiness? Love? Opportunities? Do you have feelings that you are trapped? That would be due to belief that you have no or few opportunities, few options, and few choices. That there is lack of these things, that there is a limit.


A core belief in based in separation would show up in things like blame, control issues and mistrust. How many times have you said “He/She made me so angry” He/She made me sad. Anytime you see another as the source of your emotions it is because you see yourself as separate from them. You experience your own emotions, they are yours and no one can cause you to feel anything. You are the source of everything in your life. You do not see yourself as a whole complete being and that you are separate from that which you truly are.


Everything you desire resides with in you. It is not out there somewhere and all you have to do is pull it to you. Everything works from the inside to the outside. The Law of Attraction responds to the vibrations that you are sending.
In the last past of this discussion we will pull this all together so that you too will be able to expand and transform your life.

How Beliefs Can Affect Your Life Part 1

The beliefs we hold about ourselves, others, the world around us and even life itself effects how we view things, how we interact with things including ourselves. A belief is a chronic and persistent thought we have about something. It means we hold onto that thought, get confirmation that the thought/belief is true or not true from the evidence we see, experience or the experience of others in the world around us and incorporate it into our belief system. Some beliefs were taught to us at an early age, some we were conditioned to believe and others we picked up along the way. All the beliefs we have form our belief system which can be broken down into its various components.

Core or fundamental beliefs are those that we have built our life around. Many other beliefs stem from ones core beliefs. These peripheral beliefs all stem from and can be traced back to a core belief. The belief in lack and the belief we are separated from all the many aspects of the Universe including ourselves and each other are examples of a core belief and as such have the biggest impact on your life. Most of our beliefs can be traced back to those 2 beliefs and what you believe about them. It is not whether your belief is either true or not true, if your belief is right or wrong, it is a matter if your belief limits you in creating a desire. It matters if your belief is limiting what you are manifesting. It matters if your belief is blocking you from experiencing what you have created and manifested.

The only time you would need to change a belief is when it is limiting and blocking you from creating, manifesting or experiencing something you desire. A belief is only true or not true because you have determined it to be such. You have determined that the belief is either right or wrong. As beliefs are just an intense form of thought, they too have a vibration attached to them that the Law of Attraction responds to. Changing a belief is more then just thinking a new thought over and over again although that is part of it. You have to come to the realization that the belief you once held is no longer true or not true for you and replace it with one that is true for you.
