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.
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.
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.
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.

Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
