In summary, abundance comes to us from a number of sources working in concert; strength of character, clarity of purpose and willingness to look deeply into ourselves and clear out the blockages in our beliefs and perceptions to allow money into our lives. Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer say in Creating Money: Keys To Abundance (1988), "If your parents were generous and giving, you will probably see the Universe as abundant and generous. If your parents denied you what you wanted, you may still see the Universe as a place of scarcity and be denying yourself the things you want. Be the parent that would now be appropriate for you to have, giving yourself permission to have whatever you want."

Part of the process of connecting with ourselves is identifying our life’s work. Armed with this knowledge and a trust that things will work out the way they’re supposed to, that the Universe is working in our favor, even if we can’t always see that, we can begin to manifest the tools and resources we need to do this work. According to Suze Orman in The 9 Steps To Financial Freedom (1997), once we attract money into our lives, it is equally important that we allow that money to flow through us, "...understanding and accepting the natural cycle of money as it ebbs and flows through our lives, sometimes in harmony (abundance), sometimes in discord, much like the cycles of our planet---" Even the ultimate spiritual process of forgiveness was originally a monetary concept. One would forgive a debt. If we can forgive our debts, ourselves and each other, we can open up to the experience of abundance.

Finally, as Roman and Packer say in Creating Money: Keys To Abundance (1988), "Creating abundance will require that you let go of any remaining belief that money and objects are hard to create, because they aren’t." And remember, Suze Orman says in The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom (1997), "Money itself cannot make you financially free. Only you can make yourself financially free, and you can do it and so much more. You have the power."
