Thanks Shannon, really helpful and instructive post as ever. I'd like to work this out abit if you could indulge me.

Your breath  might be free, but does it not come with responsibility to use it correctly? we can live our lives causing harm to our selves and others or just in folly - everything we do is with consequence, and money can (potentially) exacerbate this consequence. Something can come, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't come with some health warnings and I think my experience, as best as I can describe, was about the best way to mitigate the  negative consequences or rather something around why money isn't as value as I have made out.

Who is the one who can say we do or do not have a responsibility to live our lives a certain way?  I can tell you what I believe to be true, but nobody can give solid proof of that sort of thing.  That quickly devolves into religious debate.

But yes, every action has a reaction and a consequence.  Money gives you the freedom to act and act more grandly than you may have been free to act before.  As to money coming with health warnings, what you're telling me is, you believe that money can't be had without having a negative along with it.  There are no negative consequences to "money".  There are consequences to what you do with it, and what you do in response to others knowing you have it.

I agree I have a belief about needing to earn things, and a belief about balance which is very deeply rooted. fundamentally I feel like there is a balance to everything and every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I also have a belief in Karma, which is fundamentally the same thing, though there is a nuance to that in that some actions and desires can be without karma or karma removing and they come from acting from a certain state.

We can't get into karma on this part of the board because it is a religious concept, but I will say that accepting freely available and freely given abundance is not going to be negative in that regard.  The program is designed specifically to prevent any wealth from being achieved by harming yourself or others; I actually took that concept into account.  What results is not going to cause you harm.  I think you have a misunderstanding concerning how that system works, which is acting as a limiting belief.  

In terms of the demanding aspect, I think that was more to do with the way I was executing rather than the sub itself. I am being demanding and had an unconscious desperation and I feel like this is getting in the way of opening up to receiving - imagine if you wanted to give me absolutely everything I wanted and cared about my needs genuinely and in response to that I demanded that you give me specific things now, and kept on demanding - you would probably recoil. my interpretation of that feeling was to let go and let it happen.

That makes more sense now.  

What you have said on the lottery is a lot of food for thought. so thanks. and thanks for the rest of your response. it feels like we're really in the end game now.

Hopefully that is a good thing.
