When in a state of lack ('widow'), recognize even a small positive ('three drops of oil'). Then, 'go within and close the door' (shut out sensory evidence of lack) and begin to intensely FEEL the joy of having already received the desired things. This inner agreement will manifest abundance.
Another story is told us; of the widow and the three drops of oil. The prophet asked the widow, “What have ye in your house?” And she replied, “Three drops of oil.” He then said to her, “Go borrow vessels. Close the door after ye have returned into your house and begin to pour.” And she poured from three drops of oil into all the borrowed vessels, filling them to capacity with oil remaining. You, the reader, are this widow. You have not a husband to impregnate you or make you fruitful, for a ‘widow’ is a barren state. Your awareness is now the Lord – or the prophet that has become your husband. Follow the example of the widow, who instead of recognizing an emptiness or nothingness, recognized the something – three drops of oil. Then the command to her, “Go within and close the door,” that is, shut the door of the senses that tell you of the empty measures, the debts, the problems. When you have taken your attention away completely by shutting out the evidence of the senses, begin to FEEL the joy, (symbolized by oil) – of having received the things desired. When the agreement is established within you so that all doubts and fears have passed away, then, you too will fill all the empty measures of your life and ill have an abundance running over.
This technique teaches how to transform a state of lack into abundance by focusing on inner recognition, withdrawing from sensory evidence, and cultivating the feeling of joy and fulfillment.
