The following dialogue with Source on breaking the scarcity paradigm was channeled while I was overcoming this obstacle within myself. It applies to all Awakening Souls who seek to extricate themselves from lack and quantum leap into their higher timelines. My hope is that it touches you deeply, as it did for me.


Source Speaks

Small Self: Why is everything so hard? Are you even listening to me? I've been praying, but every month is a struggle to get by. I feel like I'm wasting my life. I'm trying so hard, but it hurts too much, and I'm exhausted.


Source: Relax, and it will come. We don't respond to your desperation because we see you as perfection. Your circumstances are the result of your vibration. And your vibration is the result of your beliefs and feelings. You must relax to receive, and be in the knowing of all that you inherently deserve.


Small Self: So I'm pushing too hard? Why don't you have mercy upon my poor Soul?


Source: Your Soul is not poor; it is rich. You're abundant by nature.


Small Self: So it's my fault that things are so hard? Yeah, right... Thanks a lot.


Source: You're in full control. You're a powerful Creator.


Small Self: Oh, great, sure. You try coming down here, in this density, as an awakening Soul. I'd like to see you try.


Source: All the Ascended Masters have gone through these initiations. We are all that is.


Small Self: So what now? Am I just supposed to let go? Am I supposed to just quit my job and pretend I'm rich? Am I supposed to dig myself into debt and poverty?


Source: Not necessarily, you can break through the scarcity paradigm. You can collapse the idea that your demise is what awaits you. Your life is what you make of it, as always.


Small Self: Ugh, it's always "against all odds" with me, isn't it?


Source: In a sense, yes, because that's how you break the paradigm. You supersede it. It only feels difficult from a lower dimensional perspective. In our eyes, you're already free.


Small Self: Oh, but I'm not free! I'm stuck, broke and burned out. My body is collapsing and my bills are due. But you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?


Source: We know everything. We are everything.


Small Self: I'm not in the mood for this shit right now. Stop talking to me. I can't. I just can't.


Source: *silent, but present*


The Next Morning....

Small Self: I want to believe so badly, but I can't. No way. No way can I go deeper into debt. I can barley make ends meet as it is.


Source: You'll always have everything you need, in the moment that you need it.


Small Self: I can't hear you! La-la-la-la. I'm not listening. I have to put food on the table. Are you going to pay my bills? No? Then go away!


Source: *silent, but present*


Later that day...

Small Self: Hey... I need a breakthrough! How am I supposed to make a quantum leap when I'm stuck in poverty and resentment about my life?


Source: You're pondering these questions from a lower dimensional perspective, from within the limitations of your current circumstances. Instead, try imagining all the possibilities and abundance that await you in the higher realms. What you're truly seeking, is a shift in consciousness.


Small Self: I want to leap into the higher realms, but I have a headache, I'm dizzy, my mouth is dry, and I think I'm going to vomit. This scarcity paradigm is real! I'm having visceral reactions. The mere thought of leaping is making me sick. I might even pass out. Apparently, I'm allergic to breaking the paradigm. How am I supposed to believe I'm a powerful Creator when I've spent all these years struggling?


Source: Because time is irrelevant. What matters is that your vibration has been steadily rising, and you've been healing. You've moved mountains, energetically speaking. Even if you were in the vibration of struggle yesterday, or five minutes ago, it's over in the moment that you declare it is. You don't need to have a certain amount of time under your belt to be or do anything. Being the powerful Creator that you are is a choice that you make in every moment. It's a choice to remain aware of the entirety of your Being. Think about how far you've come. You've healed your lineage, and this is no small feat. You've healed the generational traumas and now you're breaking through the scarcity paradigm. Your growth has been nothing short of spectacular! Ascension isn't linear, nor does it depend on details like your human construct of time. It simply is.


Small Self: OK, thanks. I needed that. So it's OK that I've been wobbly with struggle all these years?


Source: Yes, of course. We don't see a wobble. We see perfection. Evolution. Increasing coherence. You never gave up. We see you clearly, and we know what is within.


Small Self: OK. So what about the miracles that I need to pull off now? Because a miracle is the only way out of the hell I'm in. I can't work my way out of it; I just don't have the energy for it anymore. The world has changed. I'm out of options. Are you going to help me out?


Source: We're always helping, through empowering your perspective and sense of Creatorship. Furthermore, didn't you notice last month when we sent you a client, right before you needed to pay rent? You didn't leap from this timeline that you don't prefer, but we still supported you, even if it wasn't in the way that you expected.


Small Self: I guess. I'll admit there were some "mini" miracles last month. But is your support always going to mean that I'm just barely scraping by?


Source: We give you only what you're energetically resourced to receive in any given moment. We know your vibrational stance, and we don't desire to overstimulate your physical body, for then you would be even less resourced to leap, as you wish to.


Small Self: So what now? Am I supposed to just leap and count on a miracle? This is CRAZY. I don't have a safety net, but I do have bills. What the fuck am I thinking?


Source: This is the precisely the point: Stop thinking. It's getting you nowhere. Start feeling. What feels better? When you focus upon that which you don't prefer, or when you focus upon your dreams?


Small Self: Obviously, the dreams... but I can't focus on them for too long, because the nightmare of my reality always catches up with me.


Source: That's because you haven't let go yet. We want you to be in joy, receivership, and abundance. We want the path to flow effortlessly before you, but as long as you hang on to the old paradigm, you experience the rift. This is your choice, and as we have given you free will, we allow it.


Small Self: OK, yeah, I know, I'm in control. Whatever. Am I supposed to believe that I can just make a quantum leap and my entire reality will magically change? I mean, I need money. Do you hear me? M.O.N.E.Y.


Source: *laughing* Well, there's a lot of that where you're headed. Don't worry, you'll get there, as soon as you make the decision to be there.


Small Self: It's not funny. I'm deep in it, and I need your compassion.


Source: We have infinite compassion and support for you. You have infinite chances to do this, whether in this incarnation or not. The real question is: Are you going to let go of the old paradigm and allow for miracles to arrive?


Small Self: That's the thing... I need proof. I mean, what if I fail? This is impossible!


Source: What's impossible, from your current point of consciousness, is to continue dishonoring your energy. The old ways are no longer serving you. How is that self-loving? We want you to love yourself, because you are love, and this doesn't require self-sacrifice. Quite the opposite.


Small Self: So you're going to gift me some financial miracles if I jump from the sinking ship of my scarcity paradigm? You're going to catch me when I fall?


Source: Look at it this way, there's nothing to catch, because you're not going to fall. The power is already within you, to the extent that you believe it is. Try not to focus upon the worst possible outcome. Try not to imagine negative results. This thinking is exactly what we're encouraging you to let go of. Your power is held within your imagination; it's in your ability to vision and feel what you focus upon. If you use this incredible power to focus upon what you don't prefer, then that is what you'll receive. You're always in control. It's not us who needs to save you. It's you who needs to save yourself.


Small Self: But isn't there any help at all? I mean, isn't there supposed to be Divine guidance? Or am I all alone in this thing? Is this game of life just a vast, empty pit of existence where I'm forced to choose, solely on my own?


Source: You're always guided and supported, to the extent that you allow yourself to be. Divine intelligence is threaded through the fabric of existence, and this is exactly why you feel yourself to be in a pressure cooker. The moment has come, cosmically speaking, for your entire solar system to come into more Light. You feel pressure because your vibration is rising, and you can no longer tolerate the old paradigms of limitation and suppression. We're behind this rise, streaming high frequency Light onto your planet, and sending you the energetic activations so that you awaken, return home to your heart, and reclaim your Divine power. In this way, we're supporting you more than you could ever know from a human, temporal perspective.


Small Self: Oh, well now you sound really clever. Very zoomed-out and big picture. But I'm just a little guy down here in the matrix. I don't feel this immense power you speak of. I feel like crap.


Source: It's a temporary feeling. Let it teach you where you're not standing in your power, and it will pass.


Small Self: You have an answer for everything, don't you?


Source: I AM both the question and the answer, simultaneously.


Small Self: OK, that's enough. I better not end up in a cardboard box! I mean, what's my worst case scenario? That I'll run out of money and have to sell what little I have just to get by. I'll have to declare bankruptcy, and I'll become homeless. I'll need to run away; to disappear completely off the map. Since awakening, I've become so sensitive... Without healthy food, sleep, and good environment to live in... my demise will happen quickly. Within a couple of months, I'll be rotting on the street, a laughing stock!


Source: Well, you're weaving quite a tale there, aren't you? Does it feel good to focus upon the worst case scenario?


Small Self: No, but I'm just working it out. I'm trying to see what's underneath my scarcity paradigm, you know?


Source: Yes. Continue on with this Self-inquiry, please.


Small Self: Well, what do I really think might happen in this worst case scenario? What am I really afraid of? Losing everything, and the embarrassment of everyone realizing that I was a loser all along. And when they show up to "repo" my life? Ugh, the shame of it all! OMG...


Source: Yes?


Small Self: I think I just hit on something. It's unworthiness, isn't it?


Source: Correct. You're identifying the predominant frequencies that drive the scarcity paradigm in the human collective: Fear, unworthiness and shame. You fear you'll lose everything and that you're worthless, but even worse is the perceived shame that overlays those low frequency states of Being. This is the false reality of the separated Self. It's the delusion of your perceived separation from me. The truth is you're innately worthy, abundant and free.


Small Self: Yeah, I'm starting to see how it's all stemming from my perspective. Gross. Is this yet another remnant of my toxic childhood?


Source: Yes, but more so, it's an Ancestral remnant. Fear, unworthiness and shame have been falsely coded into humanity's DNA for ages. However, as you go through the process of Awakening and Ascension, your spiritual DNA is re-activated and eclipses these distortions. You're remembering who you really are: My Divine child. You can't truly be fearful, unworthy or shameful. They're merely ideas you unconsciously adopted so that you could learn what it means to be a powerful Creator once again.


Small Self: So the scarcity paradigm isn't real? It's just my false sense of fear, unworthiness and shame?


Source: Simply put, yes.


Small Self: And my broke life is caused by the scarcity paradigm within me? And the whole thing is bs?


Source: Indeed, it's an illusion.


Small Self: Is it the same for everyone who's struggling with scarcity?


Source: It manifests differently for each individuated consciousness, but the driving forces behind the scarcity paradigm remain the same. You know this already, deep in your heart.


Small Self: Yeah, I've been getting inklings of it. Especially with the energetic activations I've been receiving lately. Everything is falling apart and simultaneously coming together.


Source: Exactly. The activations ignite your remembrance. You're an incredibly powerful Being. We didn't give this Soul mission to just anyone. You were designed for it.


Small Self: Hmmm. Well let's talk about my design. Since awakening, my spiritual gifts came online... and made it so that I can barely survive in the matrix!


Source: Exactly. It's brilliant, don't you think? *chuckling* You weren't meant to survive in the lower realms. You were designed to rise up from them. You chose this brave honor at this pivotal time on the planet. Remember who you are. Your Soul has already Ascended.


Small Self: It's all just too much right now. I feel powerless.


Source: You'll recoup your energy soon. These activations are intense for the physical body in your current density. It's OK to feel overwhelmed. You're getting it. You're right on "time", as you might say. *chuckling*


Small Self: So I have to believe I'm worthy enough to leap? And save myself?


Source: Yes, but it's not going to be as difficult as you think. It's not going to feel like you do when you're fighting against the old paradigm. You're going to be filled with joy and energy, once you let go. And when you take inspired action from that state, you'll magnetize a new reality to you.


Small Self: *tears welling up* Oh God, I hope so! I just don't know if I can let go and trust that things will work out.


Source: It's a powerful paradigm to release. Scarcity is all you've known in your current incarnation, and in many past incarnations. Your resistance is the strongest right before you before you breakthrough.


Small Self: I'm literally trembling with fear.


Source: It's the death of the old ways that you're feeling. This is the pivot point. What awaits you on the other side is beyond your wildest imagination. It's all that you've dreamt of, and more. It's everything you've been praying for: Health, wealth, peace, connection, joy, inspiration, impact; it's your Divine birthrights. Any of this sound familiar?


Small Self: Yes! That's my prayer. That's it! I've always been praying for those exact things.


Source: We know. We heard you. We gave you the dreams. We gave you the prayers, and we've already answered them.


Small Self: Oh wow! OK. OMG. I'm so tired. I'm going to go now. I need to eat something. I need sleep. I need to absorb all this. It's a lot.


Source: Rest, Dear One. That is exactly what we want you to do. Relax and when you're ready, you'll receive the higher way. Until then, just treat yourself right. Be kind. Take a break.


Small Self: Well, right away I had the thought, "I can't afford to take a break." But then I caught my thinking, and realized how stupid that sounds.


Source: It's not stupid, nor are you. It's a normal response; an automatic thought form that arises in response to your desire to break the scarcity paradigm. See how well you're doing? You're identifying these thought forms, and realizing they're not Divine truth! You're more than halfway there. Now go, and get some rest. We'll be here when you're ready, as always.


Small Self: OK. Bye for now. I love you. I mean, I'm so out of alignment, but I love you. You know that, right? You're all I have. I'm putting everything into you... all my faith. 110%. OK?


Source: Yes, we know. There is only love, and we love you more than you realize. Rest, beautiful Soul. There is much to be and do when you're ready. You are love, and that will never change.
