Question: Can you tell me why I haven't won the lottery yet?
I feel like it is in my future and I have visualized my life
after winning and held on to that feeling of abundance.
I want to win so that I know that I can buy whatever I want.
I grew up poor.
And I want my power to create.
Not to be restricted by financial means.
Teal: This is your problem;
If you're looking to the lottery...
To be your sort of abundance,
then you're not a match the lottery.
This is such an issue with lottery.
Lottery and abundance is actually a contradiction in terms.
I know that sounds crazy to you,
because you're looking at the lottery as tons and tons of money.
But abundance is a totally different thing.
Abundance is actually recognizing one's own capacity to create abundance.
And if I'm looking to the lottery to do that for me,
than I'm in no more of an empowered place,
than I was when I was little and totally impoverished.
You're in a place of:
"I can't create it."
"It has to happen to me."
Like some sort of a... Russian roulette game, right?
If you're looking to the lottery for your source of abundance,
I cannot tell you how disempowered you feel in terms of creating money.
And if you feel that disempowered in terms of creating money,
are you a match to winning the lottery? Never!
So, if I were in your position,
as painful as it is,
I would let go of the lottery.
I would realize that until you feel like you can create
that amount of money, without the lottery,
you're not a match the lottery.
I feel so much resistance, people hate that.
Talk to me.
Did you even want to do this?
Grasiela: Huh?
I had the vibration for it.
T: Well, do you want to help me out here?
I can feel their resistance, but I'm not like,
doing a good job of tapping into why.
G: Okay
What? Is it that they just went into the same powerlessness?
T: Well help me get into this mentality.
This is what's frustrating me about the online workshops,
Which is why I like to have somebody who's sort of volunteering to kind of,
bridge you guys, because when I can work with somebody one on one on stage
I can usually breakthrough, well, I can't always breakthrough
You know, their pattern, but with this,
there's no back and forth so I could just feel like what I said made the person sink
And that's the end of it.
G: Well, I would feel in a more perilous state,
because it's like the one thing I was hopeful about.
Now, it's like..
T: Do you see the problem?
I need you to see the contradiction between
abundance and putting your abundance in somebody else's hands.
And I'm sorry if you're playing the lottery, it is not in your hands.
G: Okay, I'm gonna argue this part.
T: Ok.
G: I see it, but I don't feel like there's any other way to create abundance.
T: Do you see that that's an issue? That mentality may be the problem.
G: I know, but like, I literally don't know.
T: But do you see that that mentality in and of itself can be the problem?
G: Yes, but I'm stuck in it.
T: Well stick in it for a minute and tell me.
G: Okay.
T: There's no other way for me to make that money.
Let's stay there, because that's the real issue.
Yeah, like I literally don't feel like there's any other way.
T: A lot of other people have done it.
So what are they doing that you don't?
What do you what story do you tell yourself about why
other people can make lots and lots of money and you can't?
In other ways besides just winning it?
G: I feel like they have something different that I don't.
Like, it's literally, I think that I don't know how to do.
It either happened to me or it didn't.
And I feel like this is a thing that could happen to me.
T: But money doesn't just happen to people, It has to be created.
You have to meet somebody's needs.
Let me expand your idea around abundance. Ready?
If you want to make money, it's very simple
You have to figure out what someone needs.
If somebody needs something, It holds value to them.
That could be exchanged for equal value, today money.
G: Okay, then I don't feel like I have value.
T: That's the problem.
G: Yeah.
T: If you don't feel like you have value,
you're gonna have a huge issue with abundance, aren't you?
G: Yeah, because I don't know what I could offer.
Or what I need to do to create that money.
T: Well, that's where your thinking needs to go.
"What could I offer?"
What do I offer that's of value?
Now you may even involve the people in your life in this.
What could I do that's of value?
What do I offer to you that's of value?
What do you value about me?
This might be an interesting thing, to engage your social sphere in.
G: Yeah, I feel like anything that I would offer
is looked down on, from society's perspective.
T: ahh haaa.
Is that unanimously true?
G: No, but I feel like yes.
Logically, I know that, not necessarily, but it feels like a yes.
Like okay, let's say it was emotional work, right?
T: OK.
G: If you're a good person, you help people emotionally,
and it's not because you're charging them.
T: Oh, well, that's a problem.
You're making yourself not valuable then.
Are you aware of that?
G: No.
T: Yeah.
G: Okay.
T: You've made it wrong to make money.
Here's the thing, me myself right?
if I knew that somebody else had the answer to, let me think,...
Let's say that I was desperate to not age.
And I knew that someone had the answer to somebody never getting wrinkles.
I would pay everything I possess for that.
And I would think it was totally worth it.
And I in my mind, I wouldn't even be mad that they were charging it.
G: But that makes sense by society sanders.
It's what I'm saying.
It's like you went to school, there's a degree.
T: You don't get to decide what's valuable someone.
That is not something you get to decide.
G: Okay
You get that?
You're saying what should and shouldn't be valuable.
That's not your job. You don't get to decide.
If somebody decides that it's valuable,
Then it's worth to pay for them.
G: Okay.
T: Some people will spend..
Do you like collector cars?
do you think that's a waste of money?
G: Yeah,
T: Some people think it's totally worth it to spend 100 grand on a car
they'll never drive. Ever!
G: Why?
T: Like it's really worth it! Like really worth it!
G: Why?
T: Because they value it.
You're attached to your moral standards,
G: Yes
T: Yeah.
You're preventing you from making money.
G: Yes. So how is it morally okay to make money?
T: How is it morally ok to make money?
G: Yeah.
T: Do you not need money?
G: Yes.
T: Do you need money to feed your kids?
G: Yes.
T: Is it right to feed your kids?
G: Well, yes, but like I feel like that's a little bit of money versus...
T: Okay.
Alright, how does it morally right? You ready?
G: Yes.
T: If you own a company or you have lots of money,
what's the first thing you start doing?
G: Hiring people?
T: So now you just became the source through which
everyone else finds abundance as well.
You're the reason that five more people can feed their kids now.
ahahaha.
G: Oh I have so many patterns.
T: I know.
But what I want you to recognize
is how many blockages you have to abundance.
They're not blockages that inherently exist in the universe,
You've said: "This is a wrong way to make money."
"This is a wrong way to make money."
I don't have enough value to make money.
So of course that it looks like the lottery is the only way to do it.
G: Mm-hmm
But it's disempowered, you've disempowered you.
With your thinking about abundance in general.
G: Yeah because at this point what I want the lottery for is to rescue me.
T: Mm-hmm.
G: Okay.
T: I would want to be rescued too, if I made myself that...
it's like what you've done,
is almost like, you know that game of,
G: I've actually made insignificance valuable.
That's what I'm missing.
T: Do you guys know that game, it's the game where you like,
I think it's operation.
Like you take these tweezers and, if you hit the side it's like buzzzz, right?
It's like you setup a life for yourself financially,
where it's like, buzzz, buzzzz.
You know, with with abundance.
I would want rescue too, if I was surrounded by that.
So, this is the thing, there's only one way to change that.
you got to make the buzzz not a buzzz.
You've got to take down the barbed wire fence.
Or the electric fence.
You've got to take down the electric fences
that are telling you this is not okay.
This is not okay.
This is why I can't, this is why I can't.
G: It's virtuous. I get it.
T: Well, so you can choose to be virtuous and with no money then.
G: ahhh mm-hmmm
T: This is the thing though,
G: I can choose to be virtuous hobo.
T: You can.
and a virtuous hobo is not going to do half for the world,
what a very wealthy person would do.
Could do.
I'm not saying they necessarily do it.
A lot of them don't a lot of them do.
And I'm saying a real wealthy person,
has the capacity to change the lives of so many more people,
than somebody who's not.
In today's world.
So do you want virtue or do you want change?
Do you trust yourself to remain virtuous with money?
That's another thing.
G: There are so many traumas with that.
T: So that's all I need you to realize. All I need you to recognize.
So, this is all I need you to recognize today,
G: Yeah.
T: Cuz we can work on each one of these patterns.
I have a million processes to do that.
What I need you to recognize is every time,
I suggested abundance, G: It's like no no, no.
T: Then are you a match to winning the lottery?
G: No.
T: There you go.
G: I'm keeping myself stuck. Alright.
T: These people are going to love you Grasi, you made me the bridge.
G: Oh my god!
I feel so stuck now.
T: Well we can work on one of these patterns.
I just need you to see.
Because like part of the confusion is: "I don't get it."
I've been focusing on it. Why isn't it happening?
That's why!
G: I get why I'm poor now. I'm virtuous.
T: It's a good exchange.
