Manifesting Prosperity Consciousness

Your mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. -

I want to return to information I have shared before and add emphasis to the power we have at any given time to shift our focus to improve the quality of our thoughts. A wonderful resource for how that works is Catherine Ponder. Her book Open Your Mind to Prosperity is an excellent tool in the development of prosperity consciousness and makes a solid case for the use of positive affirmations.

The most important part of her material is the bones of how it works. And it underscores a “fix-it” that “The Secret” and most of the current slew of Law Of Attraction courses omit.

From the source: “But unless you learn how to clear away the psychological blocks about prosperity, as discussed in chapter 1; unless you then learn how to cleanse your mind to make way for prosperity, as explained in chapter 2; and unless you follow this up by giving your prosperity a spiritual basis, as shown in chapter 4—just creating your prosperity mentally first is not enough. It may excite you into bringing about temporary results. Then you sink down into frustration and despair again as these results fade away, and you say to yourself, “It doesn’t really work.”

Positive thinking is a powerful influence but do not mistake influence for control. Other factors are also at play. You are responsible for your own thought and the outcome manifests as a result of that energy pattern. All is a work in process and progress.

At the intuitive level, there is awareness that all is in a state of flux. Each is creating his experience and the thoughts generated determine the output. When in touch with our intuitive gifts, we can learn to reign in our thoughts and manifest conscious change in our lives as we develop the ability to focus our energy and become in alignment with a desired outcome.

There are many opportunities to make conscious spirit or intuitive connections. In essence, we are in constant contact with the spirit plane but tune it out. As you learn to accept, reawaken or develop that ability, events appear to affirm the connection. In becoming more connected to the whole of life, the daily details become less concrete and more pliable.

In my case, an encounter with an energy that started appearing to me in conjunction with blinking nightlights was the catalyst for my reawakening to the metaphysical wonders of the world. I was instructed by spirit guides on how to channel and how to improve my intuitive abilities.

As the paranormal events multiplied in response to that education, so did my faith in God and a higher source. From that point on, I relaxed and just enjoyed the connection and the process. I lost my apprehension about dealing with paranormal events and moved forward.

The energy I connect with through the nightlight has a basic message – we are here in whatever form – (body or spirit) to learn how to love. When you want to know more, start questioning and see where that takes you. The same instruction comes from MANY sources. Esther and Jerry Hicks might be the most well-known: Ask and it is given.

Esther & Jerry Hicks are the authors of books based on the Teachings of Abraham. Their latest book, “Money and The Law of Attraction”, reached #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.

My lava lamp has adopted a favorite pose.

I turn it off; within 12 hours it will be back into one big ball. I call it the “All is One” pose. I thnk we see what we believe. I believe all is one. As such, the Universe provides a mirror to reflect that. 

Selling INspired

Take the Attitude of the Student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new. - Og Mandino

When pressed for time, it’s nice to have small snippets of inspiration. Some authors are good at keeping information bite sized. More than an author, Og Mandino was a salesman with a tremendous gift. He knew how to create great things in small packages.

His books have sold over 50 million copies… No secret there…the information is timeless…and even more important…easy to digest.

Some of his wisdom … even the greatest message in the world has to be SOLD.

…“Do it Now!”

One Act of Faith

When we are caught up in cycles - it usually implies a pattern. The only way to change the cycle is to break that pattern.

Rather than trying to change your entire life or belief system, which could set off a chain reaction of events you are unprepared to encounter, try changing one thing. Turn left instead of right, look up instead of down, say yes instead of no…. practice changing your mind and your reactions.

One tiny new act can change your life and open the door to a wonderful new cycle of growth…and learning.

The Power of One

It is most delightful when it comes to Magic and Miracles -

neither committee nor consensus determines what will manifest.

Magic and Miracles are fueled most sufficiently

by the belief of One. 

Predictions are Projections

The Future is Yours.  

Ask no one to predict the future if you fear it.

The purpose in predicting the future is to determine how you are going to face it: Ducking and running for cover or Head on. There is no growth/advantage in duck and cover. The advantage comes in learning how to face all situations…especially those we fear.

The greater potential we carry within is to manifest our own future. We are not sheep. All is potential…especially predictions. You either go along with the projection or you create an alternative. Images are not set in stone. 

Predictions are works in progress. Your work begins when you determine you will actively manage your own progress.

Today is That Day

There is no time but now.

How do we account for paying bills? When living in now, a debt is still a debt. Actions create results. Be prepared now and you have no worries in the now of “the bill is due”. 

To live in the now is another way of saying to live with presence.

The Only Rule for Creativity?

1 – There are NO rules for Creativity.

When one is creating something from nothing, anything and everything is possible. Rules close the door on potential. Rules say No, Don’t, Can’t, Impossible, and Never. We have no idea what is possible unless we first try everything, including all supposed impossibilities. 

When to throw in the towel on finding someone to showcase your creation? Never. The problem is not you – nor is it the towel. It is visibility. Change the color of the towel and you might be surprised at all of those who had no idea you even had a towel…or a novel idea. Turns out the one you had been waving over and over … to anyone who would give you the time of day, inadvertently hypnotized them into a stupor.

People see what they want to see when they are ready to see it. When you have a novel idea and you stop waving your towel to showcase it…you lose… Change color and make bigger waves. Eventually, someone will see you. And soon you will become enlightened to the fact that you no longer have the luxury of being able to stop waving a towel. Now, you see, everyone will expect you to continue to wave your towel… (What about my novel Idea?)

A whole new catagory of creation comes from that silly predicament.

Be that as it may - No one can be you for you … So it is up to you to keep the faith in your creation and see it through. Start waving your colorful towel – that’s why we have so many colors to work with. Remember which one finally works for you but don’t make it a rule to only use that one…

“If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”
George S. Patton

Say Aloud Only What You Wish to Create

Change your life with a garden of words. 

Listen to yourself and determine what value your words convey. If you can sense a feeling of worth and merit and improvement as a result, you’re on the right track. The more positive your message, the more positive the message that comes back to you.

What we put out comes back to us tenfold. Like planting a seed, it grows and grows; and by the time we meet up with it again, it has become fruitful itself.

What are you sewing with your words? Hopefully a wonderful garden with a delicious menu – so that anything you may eventually have to eat will indeed be nourishment for the soul.
