After reading all the replies, I realize I am certainly in the group I belong in. I see the same struggles and aspirations I share in myself. The testing thing? I have come to see that my life was embedded in the idea you have ups and you have downs. I now saw, "bah." That is simply a pendulum of feeling a latent and subconscious guilt, balanced by self-made suffering to make up for the guilt. Relgion in my life has played a role in this by supporting the subconscious guilt. The suffering was nothing more than self-flagelation. I can't always see how I caused it, but I do believe we create our own reality. So now, I work at pushing the old feeling of "well, we have to go through tests," or "I probably deserve this depression, this money problem, and etc." I get up my fists and punch at it, and it can be a hard enemy. But I now know, at least, that it is not what my human-divine nature is about." I do not know where the book specifically speaks to this, but it does start by making a strong case that I deserve to be rich, wealthy and properous. It is one thing to say that in my head, but another to get that into practice. So it is my determination to fight with any poverty thinking, any hardship, and treat them as mirages. Fakes. To call them stupid names outloud in meditation. To claim my wealth as a good thing, and that I never need to go through the poverty testing. That is only my own failure, if I do. I mean to allow it and create it. The leader, Rebecca, has said this so beautifully. Thanks everyone. As we share we grow. If we keep what we see to ourselves, we stagnate it, don't we? So thanks for sharing and letting me share, too.

Like Terry, I too am a new member and new to SOGR. I am so happy and grateful to be reading the book and to be connected, albeit not personally, with Rebecca Fine and the great work she is promoting. She is walking the talk, giving so much value, being so giving and generous. Her work of getting the work/word out there is her contribution to world peace!
I am doing like Terry, cloud bursting through the old programming! Not long ago, I believed that having more than just what I need would contribute to more suffering in the world. Having access to unlimited resources far beyond basic needs is truly how I can fulfill my soul purpose by being all I can be--and can thus give more to the world. (Damn the army for taking that line and catholicism for that brainwashing line,"Lord i am not worthy to receive thee, but only say the word and I shall be healed".) We can be humble without the psychological harm of unworthiness and healing from feeling unworthy, guilty, ashamed, etc. is the key to being open to receiving what the universe is so ready to give! I say, thank you and bring on the abundance! My heart is open to receive and to give and for this and all my blessings, I give thanks!
