understand scarcity programming

Scarcity outlook and victim mentality has a lot to do with the way we imitate those all around us. Imitation is a significant contributor to the growth of the victim mentality. We observe what our parents think and do and we imitate them thinking that it is the only way to survive.
In the primitive communities ‘fair share’ was a powerful survival idea. If an animal was hunted and killed by one or a few together, the practice of sharing it with the community helped everyone’s survival. Thus the ‘fair share’ idea was accepted by one and all.






Imitation can be wrong at times.
‘Fair Share’ could be seen as a relic of the primitive past. It worked in those conditions.
But it has no relevance now. Your parents, and to a smaller degree the society at large, have been responsible for inculcating this idea into you. Your parents often forced you to share your toys with the other kids. They must have often reminded you about being selfish and exhorted you not to be like that. (I do not mean that selfishness is a good quality but that such an approach could have contributed to the evolution of the strong ‘fair share’ concept in you.)
Other Scarcity Experiences

You may have had a number of other scarcity experiences that led to a Pervasive Scarcity Program in your mind:
1 Scarcity of food-especially scarcity of food that you enjoyed.
2 Scarcity of dresses and other personal wear items
3 The limited number of admissions available from nursery to college level.
4 Limited number of seats in the professional institutions.
5 Limited membership in sports teams, debating clubs, choir and so on.
6 Scarcity of friends from the opposite sex.
7 Scarcity of good jobs.
8 Scarcity of money to meet your ever increasing demands.

As most of humans suffer from a pervasive SPLP societies have been organized to adjust accordingly.
The Observation of the Hunger project
In 1977, Wisner Erhard launched the ‘Hunger Project’ He identified scarcity, no-solution-inevitability as being at the root of the world hunger. These orientations are pervasive forces that pervade their lives. Their perceptions and expectations are revolving around scarcity. This influences their thoughts and actions in a devastating way. They expect hunger and scarcity all the time. Their thoughts and actions are in synchrony with their expectations. And thus hunger and scarcity become the reality.
If anyone is stuck in the scarcity orientation, he will not put efforts to produce more or think of ways to overcome the situation. They surrender themselves to their destiny and beliefs. They become very lazy and hardly do anything to overcome their predicament.



Your mind need not have to accept any limits any more. There is no need for the ‘fare share’ concept now. We can produce any amount of food. All of us can become rich. There is plenty of everything here for making food, money or anything.



It should be shifted to conscious imitation. Make sure what you imitate is worth imitating.
Consciously choose what to imitate. You can try to test the thing to see whether it works before imitating (of course it may not be possible during childhood when many of our modeling take place.)
But now we can choose.
Further, what was true in the past need not be true any more.
So far nobody wanted you to be a total individual. Your parents, educators, and the society wanted you to live in a specified way as per the accepted and prevalent codes. Your individuality has been stifled.
Hear what Krishnamurthy, the famous thinker says:
“Your parents are frightened, your educators are frightened, the governments and religions are frightened of your becoming a total individual because they all want you to remain safely in the prison of the environmental and cultural influences.”
.
It has been proved beyond any reasonable doubt that you have to change your beliefs of Scarcity into beliefs of abundance to realize your dreams.
Do we have scarcity today?
Not at all.






A scarce resource outlook is a mistaken idea. It needs to be changed. Reprogramming our brains consistent with the realities of today is an essential step towards success.
If you make enough wealth, does your creation take away others’ fair share?
Not at all.
What you make is in addition to what others produce.
There is unlimited wealth potential in the world.
Anyone can make as much wealth as he wants. There is no limit and there is ample scope to make any amount, any thing.
Wealth is a form of energy. And there are infinite resources of energy in the world.
We are not tapping even one millionth of the energy that comes to the earth from the sun.
Abundant food or wealth could be produced, abundant electricity could be produced and abundant amenities could be developed.
We have to shift our perspective from ‘Victim State’ to master of our destiny approach.

We have to understand that whatever the human mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.
