By paradoxically seeing opportunities as rare, then it is higher leverage for us to jump on the train and have an adventure isn't it?

What you're suggesting sounds a bit like Gurdjieff's Fourth Way philosophy i.e. when presented with two opportunities in life, always take the more difficult one because it will "wake you up" out of the semi-hypnotic Matrix-like trance that most of humanity is in.

A long time ago, before Abraham/Bashar etc, I used to consciously live that way and I did live a lot of life experiences that many people would probably never live, or dare to live. And to some extent, I still choose to live that way even today just for the sake of the adventure.

It's an interesting way to live - scarcity mentality for the sake of experience - it's the extending elastic band approach to life. Nothing wrong with it either, as far as I can see, as long as you enjoy a bit of drama in your life...certainly helps keep you out of life ruts :)

So when you say...

Is life more efficient to live from a "opportunities are rare" or "opportunities are abundant" mentality in order to get new life experiences, manifest what we want, feel more alive and more in the flow?

...I wouldn't say it's more efficient to live that way but there's nothing like a bit of self-imposed limitation from time to time to feel the aliveness of being alive.

The truth, I think, is even broader...just by incarnating on Earth at this time, we're all engaging in a bit of Extreme Attracting whether we know it or not :)

Both, in the proper way.

The opportunities that come to you in your day-to-day life where created by the universe, responding to your dominant vibrations. Once they have come, you have the opportunity the play them out. So it is good to be present in the moment, and not wandering off, when they come. It is also good to be confident, so you can act on them in the way of your chosing. In that sense, you treat them not necessarily as scarce, but as precious- something to be treated with great care. You don't have to wait for something to be scarce to do that.

However, you have infinite influence over the opportunities that you come to you, and no limit to your opportunity to create more of them. You do this by imagining things you prefer in great detail, and perhaps using breathing and a formal ritual with a strong beginning and ending to better override existing contradictory thoughts. When you are imagining, remove all limitations- the universe will make the best near equivalent available according to your current beliefs. Let the universe make all compromises, in your thoughts, you imagine exactly what you prefer. Here's one from Abraham Hicks I really enjoy in the imagination department: "It is just as easy to create a castle as to create a button".

It reminds me of the movie "Yes man": at the end that big lecturer explaining, that his "say yes" meant not stopping ourselves in saying yes to things which we do want.

Your "scarcity" approach seems to do the same: encourage, push to act, instead of "waiting because we may not succeed with this action" or something like this.

So maybe it can be taken one step forward, to remove from that the scarcity, too: for example, saying "what if acting is beneficial for me?" or "what if acting now is fun and it won't matter what result I get immediately, acting will just evoke something beneficial anyway", etc.

Then it won't evoke the "acting out of fear", so it won't activate the negative side of it.

And I can already see that sometimes it will feel better to me than "what if I can just not do anything now", and sometimes it won't. And I love this beauty of being able to use this GPS every time currently, up to date, relevant to this specific situation.

Life is good :)

P.S. It is important to realize here, what you use action for: in the "infinite" approach the action is not "required" in terms of enforcing the result by it. But you can still act if you feel like it. The matter is that usually we let our fears stand in the way, because we see action as creating the result, physically.

In this case when we push ourselves to act anyway, overriding the fear with another fear, it won't be the best experience. When you know you'll have billions other opportunities, but "wildest horses can't keep you from acting now", then it's the best experience.

P.P.S. I wonder, if you use this scarcity model, will you experience then the situation, when you absolutely can refrain from action, "because it's done", as AH say, but you SO want to act, that you act purely because of it?

Because if you tie the result with going for the opportunity, you so develop the belief that you act "in order" for the manifestation to happen, that you may not feel this, that you can completely let go - because your life just works, and that you just want to act, and you act because you want to, being in the moment.

Seeing infinite opportunities and following the energies of eagerness and joy is a more sustainable life choice.

Seeing opportunities as scarce with the fear of missing out or doing something wrong is surely a motivator, but not a sustainable one, as it has ramifications in the physical body like aging and illness.

It is possible to fully appreciate and have reverence for the opportunities that we present ourselves, without crossing over into a scarcity mentality - i.e. scarcity is only one way to inspire appreciation.

A lot of people, these days are struggling with finding balance between being and doing, "being" meaning that infinite mindset, and "doing" meaning, in this case, the scarcity mindset. Isn't it interesting that we are working to reset our internal fuel (motivation) sources as we are also working to reset our external fuel sources (away from polluting and limited fossil fuels, and towards sustainable, clean fuels like the sun)?

in my perspective the univers we live in is based on a scarsity mentality. and the purpuse of Bashar, AH etc is to get us out of it. so in itrodusing us to the "infinite opportunity paradigm" they are soothing our resistance.

feer is located lowest in the emotional scale. infinit (posibilities) also is an extreme. while the expectation is to be balanced (happy)

so, yes, if we look at this world as only infinit we will never take any action, and if we'll take the fear based approach we'll experiece alot but not necessarily enjoy it or feel comfertable.

in the "infinit" approach" the focus is on "not doing" (there is always more so don't act). in the "rare" approach the focus is on "doing" (there is a lack so act immediately ).

so as you can see both approaches are focused also on lack and soothing: infinit - lack of action and soothing resistance. rare- lack of oportunities and soothing the lack of infinite (lack of action).

so there's got to be a balance betwwen the two in order to act and also to enjoy it.

If opportunity is viewed as rare, it is valued more. Think of Gold or Diamonds, these are valuable because of the rareness of these. If we are looking at something like dust, it is worthless, it is everywhere, there is always more so it has no value.

But something rare, has great value, people even die to attempt to attain it!

So when something is rare it is cherished, you see it and don't even waste a moment to grab it, so is opportunity viewed with that same reverence, you jump on it and are so thankful for it, it becomes something very satisfying.

But if you view them as common, they lose value, after all if you know there are always more you won't care if you miss any, maybe many because there are always more.

This reminds me of the commandment not to take the name of God in vain. It is saying, keep it sacred and special, keep it rare that when needed you feel the reverence that this is a very special moment of time and something great is about to happen.

This is the same for opportunity, if you keep that thought that it is like finding a diamond in a field, you feel like your whole world changes in that moment. You thank God for that opportunity and gladly take it and run with it to fulfillment.

I think if you see every opportunity as rare as extremely valuable, you will never miss one. But also you must feel that you can spot opportunity when you have it near. Have the mind that you spot it and take advantage of it wherever you find opportunity.
