 The
                   religious teachings of the Sadducees and Pharisees about God were not advocating divine
                   potential or the Kingdom of God to the Jewish people for the purpose of attracting
                   abundance in their life. Instead, these teachings were for the purpose of empowering the leaders
                   and dis-empowering the people. They were for self-serving reasons; therefore, they lacked the
                   power and wisdom of God.   The
                   teachings were causing the people to literally experience a spiritual void in their
                   understanding which was destroying their potential for freedom and attracting abundance in their
                   life. Therefore, God sent Jesus to teach the way and the truth so it would liberate them from
                   their religious beliefs and fear-based faith.   
                Jesus said, "The thief comes not, but to steal, and to kill, and
                to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more
                abundantly." [John 10:10]   When the teachings of God are taught solely from a
                     religious perspective or what the Bible says without spiritual meaning, it limits your faith
                     and limits your potential. In other words, it does not provide transformation and increase
                     your understanding of the spiritual power and presence of God within you. Therefore,
                     you are incapable of attracting abundance in your life at the level God has intended
                     for you.
 When
                   your perspective of reality is not based in spiritual understanding, you are associated with the
                   mindset or thinking of the world, also known as the Ego. Therefore, the Ego is the outside
                   influence or voice in your head that is stealing, killing and destroying your faith or
                   confidence in God's spiritual meaning. When you are in this mindset, your thoughts, choices and
                   decisions are typically driven by lack of knowledge, fear, greed, selfishness, lust and
                   predominate materialism; often times without being aware and conscious of it.  Without
                   realizing it, you have given most of your power and authority over to your Ego and it is causing
                   the emotional, physical or financial challenges you experience, rather than attracting
                   abundance. Its objective is to keep you from believing that God is in you for the purpose of
                   assisting you in attracting abundance, manifesting joy and a blessed and fulfilling life.
                     However,
                   the life and teachings of Jesus, when interpreted in spiritual truth, is for the purpose of
                   eliminating this false influence of the Ego. Furthermore, it is to bring you in alignment with
                   your higher power for attracting abundance and the divine intelligence for preventing and
                   overcoming challenges in life.
