You’re in the aisles of a supermarket, looking at the shelves, and can’t find what you’re looking for. I tried another aisle, another aisle, and another aisle, but still no luck. Finally, I did what I should have done all along – I changed my perspective.
It was very simple – I just had to say to myself, ‘This is what I’m looking for.
That day, I was looking for unusual ingredients to try a new Indian recipe.
At some point, when I said it and believed it, I immediately saw what I was looking for, but in a different package than I expected. On other occasions, something different has happened.
One time I had the idea to go to another hallway and look for something else, and there it was. Another time I found someone stocking shelves and I asked him, and he found it. And another time, when I got home, I ordered it from Amazon.
Either way, I could tell that I knew the letter was addressed to me, I knew I would find it, and it wasn’t in my pocket or where I thought it would be.
This concept also applies to the groceries of life. We have certain ideas about how the things we need and want are packaged. So we live in fear of not finding them, withdrawing so to speak, or not being able to get them.
For example, the idea of “income.” We think of our income as coming in the form of work, part-time jobs, inheritance, lotteries, trust funds, and investments. We continue to divide this package based on the type of job, profession, mission, or inheritance we have, and this is the income we can expect.
We think we will suffer a loss of income if these familiar packages change or are removed from our personal purchases. But to find this out, we must give up the habit of thinking.
We must stop making demands or imagining what things will look like, including income. Instead, we walk into the grocery store of life and expect that everything we need is already available. But maybe not in the way we expect or want. On the contrary, if we let go of the ego that wants things to be that way, they will be beyond our plans and ideas in every case.
The grocery store of life is of course life itself. It contains all the ideas stored in the infinite intelligence of the one Spirit and the principle of love. But we forget this fact and instead of shopping there, we shop in a small room cut off from this abundance.
Abundance is the essence of life. We absorb all the right ideas, including the idea of “income”, as the composite idea of “life”. How we experience it in our lives, we cannot say. Once we get there, we move on to small, tiny stores with few items to sell.
To get back there, we have to change our perception and come back to the “One”.
Everything is in the grocery store of life. Nothing has been cut, everything is still there. Only the illusions disappear. In other words: What we think we have lost, whether it is a person, a place, or a thing, is not lost, because they are all ideas stored in the composite concept of “life”.
This is not magical thinking or “mind over matter”, but an explanation of the principle of “life”. It contains all the right ideas, is eternally present, and feeds itself with everything it needs before the time of distress arrives.
Its symbolism can be found everywhere in our daily life. For example, when I wanted to learn to cook Indian food, I already had everything I needed. My only responsibility was to align myself with that thought, to perceive what was already there, and to abolish my limited perception to follow God’s instructions.
If you reconfigure your perception and practice this change once a day, once a week, not when you have to, but habitually, every moment, you will begin to see what you could not see before.
I’ve taken some action, like shopping at the local supermarket, and I’ll take more. But the action doesn’t come from trying to avoid difficulties or letting something happen or appear, but from being guided by a small, quiet voice inside.
When we expand our thinking about what the package is, we experience in life that income, like all ideas, is a permanent offer that never stops, never becomes less than before, and reaches us in different ways that are not part of economic perspectives.
We live in this grocery store. Let’s choose spiritual perception and not let anyone or anything convince or deceive us by the blindness of material perception. If we make our way, people will follow.
