Cautious about abundance

I have been very cautious over the past few years to use the word abundance, I guess in part because of the initial relatively immature expression of this understanding -- It's all about wishful thinking and visualisation.

But upon a deeper reflection, I've not really found a better word.

Abundance is experienced on several levels:
As a expansive state of conciousness (a feeling)
As a logic of thinking
As logic of behavior
As a logic of strategies and systems, especially those of our business.

A state of consciousness is always the easiest and usually the first expressions, but translating that into consistent personal and business behaviour gets progressively more complex. Especially since the world is governed by the laws and systems of scarcity. There's also the question of translating the language of abundance into that of scarcity, let alone the impossible task of communicating the underlying principals coherently -- it's so contradictory to everything scarcity comprehends.

And we experience abundance:
Personally
As a community and culture
As a society and nation
As culture and humanity

It's easiest on a personal level and again gets more complex as we include more people in the narrative and dialogue. One of the biggest challenges being that there is no consistent or right expression of abundance, we are literally working it out as we go along. This is one of the reasons it's so difficult to get a handle on the #OWS movement, especially by the mass media. They are heavily invested in the narrative of scarcity.

What we are getting considerably more clear about is that there is a change, and that this change is in response to the deep appreciation that the rules and patterns which got us here, can't get us there.
