From Scarcity to Abundance

From Scarcity to Abundance

Author: Circle of Atonement December 4, 2023 Duration: 59:23

In this episode, Robert and Emily Perry explore the profound shift from scarcity to abundance as viewed through the lens of A Course in Miracles. They begin with the conventional understanding of a "scarcity mindset"—that there is not enough to go around—and then contrast that with the Course's very different view of the "scarcity fallacy." That fallacy is the belief that we are fundamentally lacking, and this results in an endless quest to fill the inner void, in many, many ways. But we just end up reinforcing the reality of that inner emptiness.

Robert and Emily then delve into the solution, which is to identify with our abundance—the completeness of our true being. Once we identify with this abundance, our lives are no longer about getting, but about giving, because when we are in touch with our abundance, our normal needs fall away, and the only need we have is to give. The Course says, "From your grandeur you can only bless, because your grandeur is your abundance." Giving from abundance, then, becomes the foundation for a new relationship with the world, one that transcends scarcity and leads to a life of genuine, heartfelt generosity. We hope you'll join us in this illuminating discussion about the journey from scarcity to abundance in the context of A Course in Miracles.
