Dave Kashen argues that scarcity is a mental story about the future, not something real in the present moment. He guides you through a contemplative exercise to notice that right now, there is no lack.
Scarcity is not real, and I can prove it to you. Just for this moment, I want to invite you to see if you can bring your attention fully to the here and now. So let go of wishing anything about your reality was different than it is and just get fully present. And in presence, begin to ask this question: Can I find any sense of lack of time or money? And what you'll notice is you cannot find any scarcity of time or money without leaving the present moment. Because scarcity is always a story. It's an invention of mind. It requires your mind to imagine some future scenario where you don't have enough. So the way to transcend this experience and belief around scarcity is to get fully present and notice there actually is no scarcity in the here and now.
