It seems there is another book to read¿ I come from abundance, although I have known lack thereof. I truly believe one has to learn control of self. The physical within which one lives will provide, if one controls one's thoughts and feeling pertaining to it. I realize it can be an extremely difficult concept to 'make real'(realize) but the apparent outside surroundings are a reflection of one's inner world,and therefore as one changes the precepts of one's feelings and thinking, and one's inner life becomes abundant, the 'physical' outer life reciprocates with greater abundance. It is a contemplative exercise oneself uses by practical use of imaginative and visualization techniques of a richer and more balanced 'you.'
I need to contemplate a better explanation possibly, but when I lived with bush-aborigines, they owned nothing except a pair of shorts and a throwing stick, and possibly a spear. Although to say ownership of even those is a misnomer, as one man might be better at making spears while another at throwing. Same same, with killing sticks and boomerangs. We set out on walkabout having first asked the (shaman) Kadaicha-man to visualize a direction to fruiting groves. We walked across true desert and secondary scrub, finding occasional protein in bugs, and snakes and lizards, with a fun day once chasing rabbits. [Rabbits cost more chasing down in the way of sustenance than they actually produce in nutrient food.] We were hungry but not debilitated, after nine days when we came to an oasis and the grove of various trees was in fruit. There was also some ground roots, and we neither stripped the soil nor the trees, but rested at the water two days, while the kadaicha-man chose another direction to lead us across the arid wastes. I came back to civilization, very 'happy'(free in my mind), fit and healthy after several weeks walking from nowhere to never never, around a bush with no visible means of sustenance, without first practicing contemplation and visualization. So I do believe abundance starts with control of one's inner world.
Keep on keeping on. 😇

Wow you lived with Aboroginies you must have learnt loads!
I've forgotten more, some of it is just being there. I had to work hard to see, -a shade of green, or a type of leaf, or the way a shadow shows the ground. They were very patient with me and the number of times I was shown then didn't see the next time, well. At the time, I was having fun, not studying for a paper. Even living the practical doesn't make it any easier from one aspect, because a white boy from suburbia would think he were hungry All the time. Some tricks of water, and bush-tucker, and I saved my own life a couple of times. But what I learned as Number 1. is, don't. Don't go without a radio or two-way, don't go without a bushman or aboriginal bush tribesman, don't rely on finding sufficient water, and basically don't go without proper preparation, and if not local, do let local Police know your intended route. 😇
