Though I did some serious rewiring already, I am starting to see how stuck I have been in that scarcity mindset.
Limiting myself for decades....
Because planning a future feels like a luxury when survival is the focus.

Well clearly I am no AI, neither A nor I, I guess...
Yesterday, I started all happy about being torn between two worlds, looking back at the mini magician I was at some moment in time, and then got lost in a traffic jam of words.
Ending up saying a lot, but not finishing what I started.
Where I tried to end up and where I ended up were two very different places. But it was the essence of what I planned to write.
I started out as this happy-go-lucky, all into energy, elements, and other not-so-normal stuff, apprentice.
Lucky to receive many teachings, but unable to truly understand.
Itยดs like reading poetry... Itยดs easy, nice, and short. But to truly understand a good poem, it will require you to carry it with you for a lifetime.
For it to become a part of you, so you do not even notice it's there anymore.
Then, when the day comes, you finally can sit down, and look at that old yellow piece of paper you have been carrying around it all makes sense.
The poem has become part of you, and you can apply it to everything in life.
Where it was just words before, it has now become your way of life.
I have not looked at many things I learned, too busy keeping my head above the water....
But once I started to float, once I did not have to keep moving to survive.... I found that what I studied years ago has truly been absorbed by my essence.
I thank myself for not forgetting, for giving me enough time to come full circle.
Smiling, I look at myself back then, and now, thankful I am finally ready, grateful I have given myself exactly what I needed, and need going forward.
Thank you for making it this far....for those who know me...or better, think they know me, this might have been a WTF moment.
There are many sides to all of us, some sides we hide, even from ourselves.
I can be an opinionated little prick, a loving father, or simply a lost soul.
โIf the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.โ
โ William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Jim Morrison named The Doors after this concept. I agree that reality is filtered through our limited perceptions. But we can Break On Through to the other side.
"There are things known and things unknown, and in between are the doors."

Our minds filter & reduce everything to a digestible and categorizable size, but in the process, we lose sight of the infinite abundance that surrounds us.
Maybe it's necessary to operate a mindset of both scarcity and that of abundance. But one must focus more on abundance. I think the mindset of scarcity helps us survive the world and it's troubles. Thanks for writing.

First, thanks for a useful comment.
I agree, one needs to understand the possible limitations.
But if you lived in survival mode for a longer period, your mind, or at least mine, will always take limitations /scarcity as its default.
Hence, I would aim at the minimum required to pay my bills and see that as sufficient (to survive).
Then I stop, I do not consider abundance, as I wired my brain to think as a survivor.
If I had looked at it from an abundance perspective, I might have said it should be enough to pay all my bills, raise my kids, support my family and allow myself a comfortable lifestyle.
But I stopped looking after knowing what I needed to survive and did not open myself up for abundance.
!LOLZ you probably got this from my text, and this comment is probably more for me than for you, but your comment made me overthink my mindset once again.
