We were born with the unlimited potential to intentionally create (use the law of attraction) to manifest all of our heart's desires. Together, as Conscious Leaders guided by the Divine, we have the Mind Power necessary to co-create a sustainable, harmonious, peaceful, and prosperous world. And, we can do this while also attracting and creating a passionate, loving, rich, healthy life with all of our personal dreams fulfilled.

From the 7 Keys to Manifesting Your Dreams, Key 5: Resilience & Expectation
Video 1 of 2:
Video 2 of 2:
Resilience
When something goes wrong do you tend to bounce and say ‘bring it on’ or do you tend to fall apart and say, “I give up”?
Many of you have fantastic, majestic goals of vast proportions. And, many of you just want your simple needs, like plenty of money to pay your bills or take a vacation with the kids fulfilled.
Whatever goal you have, it’s important to PLAN for resilience. Previously, I’ve suggested that you take out your goal and reverse engineer each milestone along the way. Then, with the milestone in hand, envision and add vibrational life to it – energizing it with your thoughts, beliefs, and intentions.
Now, I do not want to suggest that you ‘plan’ for problems but I do want to encourage you to PLAN for how you intend to BOUNCE back when setbacks, obstacles, or challenges present themselves. And, they will – not because you are destined for difficulty but because CHANGE requires transformation; change requires your life to be altered, modified, and adjusted in some way in order for you to receive that which you desire.
You see with every change you seek, there must be a change in your current reality to make room for the new reality.
For example, how do you create a better job without leaving your current one? At some point, even if you manifest a ‘fun-filled going away party,’ you still have to leave the old job behind.
Likewise, if you want to re-create your ideal relationship, you will have to leave the current relationship behind, emotionally and spiritually, if not actually physically before you can birth a new or renewed relationship.
Imagine achieving your ideal health and wellness without changing your physical fitness or eating habits. Can it really be done? Sure, we’re unlimited – but how many people do you know that have actually achieved total wellness while sitting on their couch just thinking good thoughts?
Thus, all change and creation requires a willingness to ‘pay the price’ for receiving the goal. Do not mistake what I’m saying here. I’m not saying it HAS to be difficult or HAS to cost too much for you to achieve your dreams. However, I AM saying that you will be met with conditions that may appear as a challenge before you will have the opportunity to make room for the goal to be fulfilled.
Your work is to be resilient and choose to BOUNCE with the change. Choose to know each ‘challenge’ is nothing more than one change that is occurring on the way to the fulfillment of your dream.
If you know ahead of time, that change must occur and you choose to be resilient before you EVER get there, then you are valiantly ahead of the game. While others will be saying, “Why me? Why is this happening like this?” You’ll be saying, “Bring it on! I’m ready! I’m strong and nothing will stop me from achieving my dream.”
PLAN for RESILIENCE! Make up your mind ahead of time how you intend to BOUNCE!
Expectation
Remember, what we put our attention upon expands. We attract into our lives whatever we think and believe the most.
Now, I group Expectation with Resilience as the 5th key because we want to Expect things to go our way but we must choose to be resilient when the outcome isn’t exactly what we intentionally expected.
You see, we often forget that we also get what we expect. As intentional creators, we launch dreams of colorful master-pieces filled with magnificent stories of lavish abundance, extraordinary love affairs, accomplishment and accolades. This is important and we have fun visualizing our successes.
Then, we go about our day ‘expecting’ what we’ve always expected…
… oh, this is going to be a hard conversation. She’s never easy to talk to.
…oh, there’s no way I can learn all this material by the deadline.
…oh, I’m not good at this type of project.
…oh, I’m surrounded by people who just don’t get it.
Do you see where I’m headed here? We have all these insidious ‘ideas’ about ourselves and those around us.
…oh, I hope I get a raise but they keep saying we should expect cut-backs.
…oh, my mate has never remembered our anniversary.
…oh, she’s not going to do what she says. I just can’t depend upon her word.
Insidious expectations – they quietly permeate so many of our waking moments that we disregard them as nothing more than normal mental banter.
However, thinker beware, these thoughts are not just benign chitchat!
One flea may not be a problem, but twenty become 200, become 2000, become 200,000 and very, very quickly become a malignant menace.
Insidious expectations, left unaddressed will also multiply. And, like a vibrational parasite, these negative expectations suck the life out of our positive intentions.
It’s important to know ahead of time how you will handle the outcome of negative expectations. (How will I be resilient?)
We also want to become aware of our fears, doubts, and limiting ideas that inspire the negative expectation.
I uncover my fears and doubts by asking simple questions:
- What are my negative expectations?
- What am I afraid will happen?
- What will disappoint me?
- What’s the worst thing that could happen here?
- What could go wrong?
- Then, I ask – am I afraid or concerned that these things will happen?
Once you’ve discovered the fear, worry, or doubt – you can shift it by simply focusing upon the opposite of the fear.
For example:
…oh, I hope I get a raise but they keep saying we should expect cut-backs.
–>becomes – I choose to be hopeful and trust that the raise is already mine.
…oh, my mate has never remembered our anniversary.
–>becomes –“Why is it that my mate remembers our anniversary?” Or, if that’s too far-fetched try, “I choose to relax, ask for my needs to be met and I enjoy being pleasantly surprised.”
…oh, she’s not going to do what she says. I just can’t depend upon her word.
–>becomes “I’m willing to trust in her ability to see this commitment through.”
Once you identify the negative idea, you want to shift your attention to something more aligned. For example, “I am hopeful.” Or “I am willing to forego all preconceived ideas.” Or “I choose to have a beginner’s mind.”
Then, if you use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) any recurring limiting expectations could be eliminated and released forever! In fact, I highly encourage you to consider how you go through your day.
Do quiet but sinister expectations sabotage your joy? Are these seemingly normal thoughts eating away at your dreams without you realizing it’s even happening?
Remember, when we go ahead and deal with the potential danger of one ‘flea’, it’s far easier than waging war against the consequence of fleas fornicating in multiplicity. (That does sound really nasty!) The same goes double for our negative expectations!
Get rid of them now and get aligned with your positive dreams! Then, choose to be resilient and bounce with each change. Follow this bounce with an intentionally directed expectation of Hope, Faith, and eager expectation!

I Do What Must be Done with Zest and Enthusiasm!
Category: Creative Manifesting, LOA doesn't work for me, Videos, conscious creation, emotional freedom technique, law of attraction — Anisa @ 4:16 pm
Quick Manifesting Morsel with Anisa Aven
I Do What Must be Done with Zest and Enthusiasm!!!! (Is this your battle cry? Then read on to find out why it should be.)
It takes 10,000 acorns to produce just three Oak trees.
Now, ask yourself, is that Oak tree exhausted, frustrated,
and weakened because it had to spawn 10,000 seeds before
duplicating itself into another masterpiece?
This is what nature expects regarding creation and
procreation. Think about it – some frogs lay as many as
30,000 eggs to ensure its species. And, to ensure our own
species a healthy man’s sperm count is upwards of 20 million
per milliliter. This means that every successful
spermatozoon fought off somewhere between 90 million and 400
million other eager applicants to become the triumphant one!
Now, what would happen if that Oak Tree just decided,
“10,000 acorns?!? Forget it! That’s just too much effort?”
Our world would obviously be void of Oak Trees, frogs and
OHHHH…babies.
If the Oak tree did give up, it’s possible that it might
briefly enjoy the life of indolent ease. However,
eventually it would realize that it was missing something
critical; it would realize that its heart was void of
purpose. Apathy would ensue and finally death, as death
stands at the doorway of apathy. After all, if it wasn’t
meant to plant seeds, propagate, and prosper, the swelling question
becomes, “why do I bother to exist at all?”
Fortunately for those who have ever climbed a grand Oak or
taken a nap under one’s majestic, protective shade, the Oak
tree doesn’t look at those 9,997 acorns as failures, or too
much effort!
The credo of ‘I do what must be done – because that’s justoccurs naturally in the plant and animal kingdom.
what I do’
I ask, in the spirit of exploring the essential elements of
intentional creation, what if we, the brain-enamored,
bipedal mammals could choose this attitude?
What if instead of saying, “But, I don’t want to put forth 10,000 acorns
before I get a tree!!!” We said, “I am willing to put forth
whatever effort is required, even if it’s 10,000 or more!”
An Oak tree doesn’t say, “This is just too much effort;
everything I do requires too much work and 10,000 acorns is
just too long to wait. Nothing I ever do comes easy or works
out for me.”
No, an acorn becomes an Oak tree because that’s what it
seeks to do. An Oak tree spawns 10,000 acorns if that’s what
it takes to propagate because that’s what it does. It
doesn’t fight it. It doesn’t struggle against it. It just
does what it does. What if YOU could ‘just’ do what you must
do with zest and enthusiasm instead of begrudgingly?
If, as a conscious creator, we could look at our desires and
what we want out of life; look at our goals, and just do
what must be done with a similar attitude, then the natural
consequence would be our own majestic manifestations of
magnificent proportions.
Oh, and the splendid byproduct of such an attitude would be
more joy, fulfillment, peace, prosperity, and flow in the
process! As Abraham (through Jerry and Esther Hicks) calls
it, this is what ‘Getting into the Vortex’ really means.
We must remember that it’s the resistance to ‘hard work’
that makes work hard.
It’s the resistance to ‘taking too much time’ that makes
time stand still.
It’s the resistance to ‘effort’ that makes effort
exhausting.
When we are in the vortex, we ‘whistle while we work.’ We
put our heads down, pull up our bootstraps when necessary
and JUST DO WHAT MUST BE DONE with enthusiasm.
And, remember, as conscious creators, ALL you want to do is stay That’s the entire purpose of your every day
in that vortex.
intention – to BE in the vortex, the flow, the conscious
connection and awareness of Spirit Within as your one and
only source and supply.
If instead of the attitude, “this is hard; this takes too
much effort; this is too much of a struggle;’ you just put
out the acorns knowing that one of them, two of them, three
of them will eventually take off and take off big; become
that magnificent Oak tree that you really desire then your
big dreams as well as little desires would reliably
manifest.
If you seek to utilize the power of the law of attraction to
create magnificent success, I suggest you first seek to
create an attitude of persistence, commitment, resilience,
and most importantly a willingness to do what must be done
with ZEST and ENTHUSIASM! That’s actually one of my favorite
affirmations from Catherine Ponder’s book, The Dynamic Laws
of Prosperity: “I do what must be done with zest and
enthusiasm.”
When I was about seven months pregnant with my daughter,
Ashlyn, I was walking out of the gym when I saw shattered glass all over the ground. I remember thinking,
“Oh my! Someone broke something.” Well, I was right. What
they broke was my car window to steal my purse and
briefcase! Well, I can honestly remember thinking, “Ahh,
bummer. And oh well, let me just clean it up and move
along.” Then, I realized that in addition to my wallet,
money, and credit cards they had my Catherine Ponder book!
That’s when I got mad! You see, it was perfectly
highlighted, dog-eared, and every magical affirmation,
quote, and meaningful theory was pulled forth for me in my
margined shorthand notes.
Her simple affirmation, “I do what must be done with zest
and enthusiasm!” changed my entire outlook on ‘work’ and
‘getting ahead’ and ‘effort’. This was a new concept for me.
It’s safe to say that I’ve always been goal oriented and a
go-for-your-dreams kind of gal. However, I never did it with
zest and enthusiasm?!?! In fact, the ‘harder’ it was the
better my story. You know what I mean ‘my story’, right?!?
When I moved to California, fresh out of high school, barely
18, with no money, no place to live, no job, no relatives,
no car and only one friend, it was indeed ‘very hard.’ I can
remember eating peanut butter and crackers for -forever! I
walked to job interview after job interview to get a job. I
remember walking more than 8 hours one day just filling out
job applications!
And, hey – it’s a good story now. I get to share with my
children my own version of, “I walked 5 miles to school
every day in freezing snow, barefoot and uphill – both
ways.”
However, I didn’t do it with any kind of ‘zest and
enthusiasm’. In fact, I bet that had I come from a place of
zest, enthusiasm, willingness, openness, optimism and
cheerfulness, I would NOT have had to eat peanut butter
nearly as long and I bet someone would have hired me sooner!
That’s how the law of attraction works. I knew I would
eventually knock on the right door at the right time to get
a job, but I made it more difficult with my resistance to
just being at peace with the process. Maybe it’s because I
wanted the ’story’, or maybe it’s because I thought ‘life’s
supposed to be hard’, or ‘I’m not worthy of having it be
easy’. Or, maybe, it was hard because I fought what needed
to be done so fiercely.
So, how do YOU allow yourself to relax comfortably into the
10,000 seeds that must be planted?
You gain power and peace, by focusing on today’s seed and
paying attention to this moment, living in the now with zest
and enthusiasm.
Remember the allegory:
Question: How do you eat an Elephant? Answer: One bite at a
time.
By breaking down our goals into small, action oriented steps
we structure our pathway to success. This one simple mindset
(breaking big tasks down into little tasks) is recognized as
the secret to their success for many a millionaire &
billionaire.
For conscious creators who understand the concept of one
bite at a time add to this the intention: “One delicious
bite at a time” and you’ll suddenly feel more empowered,
energized, focused, and steadfast in the obtainment of your
goal.
Use the law of attraction to attract a mindset of, “I am
willing to do what must be done with Zest & Enthusiasm” and
refuse to entertain any longer the idea that you’ve been
dealt a tough hand that requires too much effort!
Use the power of your mind (& EFT!) to override any resistance to
doing what must be done and instead view the 10,000 seeds
that you must plant as simply, “what I do” and what you do
will be successful.

I’m so sorry if I mislead you. Manifesting in reality is not always easy, nor is it supposed to be.
Category: Creative Manifesting, conscious creation, law of attraction — Anisa @ 4:14 pm
Q: Dear Anisa,
Firstly, let me say that you are an amazing person doing a
wonderful job in helping so many people change their lives.
However, I need to let you know that what you have is a gift
and it is simply not available to everyone.
Like not everyone can be a fast runner. Years ago when I
first learned about creating abundance I was over the moon
that I could turn my life around. I commenced in earnest,
last year when I discovered your site I really picked up the
pace. Doing whatever you suggested. However, my life is
now a sheer living hell, nothing I tried to create ever
happened. In fact stuff so horrible I couldn’t even dream
of came to be for me.
Last night two people hurt me in a way I can’t even begin to
describe. I now know that my life lesson is to know how
horrible, ugly, unworthy and to never stray from this
because it hurts too much when it comes crashing down.
Please warn people that not everyone is able to fulfill
their dreams. – R in Australia.
A: My friends in creation, I owe you an apology.
My friend that wrote this heartfelt letter to me is correct.
I have done you a terrible disservice. I have distracted
you from the essence of Truth. Although my intention has
been positive as I wanted you to know that you are loved;
you are powerful beyond words; you are worthy and deserving
of the fulfillment of your biggest dreams. But, I have
neglected to shake up this ‘Truth’ with the practical advice
that ‘you can’t get there through thoughts alone’.
Unfortunately, when I try to limit the length of my articles
I end up omitting Truths that make the words more accurate.
For example, I’ve supported misinformation such as “we can
have our cake and eat it too.” By not also driving home the
importance of understanding the law of balance, (the law of
compensation) that says ‘there’s always a price to pay for
every fulfillment’, I’ve mislead you. By supporting the
thought that as unlimited conscious creators we do not have
to compromise, negotiate, or ever surrender to a lesser
reality at times, I’ve encouraged an impractical
relationship with fantasy.
I’ve unwittingly misdirected you in focusing on the
‘external’ as the Source of your supply when your Internal
Being is in fact the ONLY source and supply of ALL things
good and bad in your life.
I’ve neglected sharing with you critical steps that must be
taken to achieve the fulfillment you desire. I’d like to set
the record straight.
1) There is always a price to pay, an exchange of energy
that must occur, for a goal to manifest in physical form.
For example – the achievement of ‘health’ requires a person
to give up the benefits of being unhealthy. The
manifestation of a mate requires a person to give up aspects
of their independence. Or, the creation of wealth requires
a person to become adept at managing money and thus the loss
of the comfort of financial indifference.
These ‘losses’ cannot be avoided just because we know
conscious creation. Of course, we can create a comfortable
resolution and compromise but it is never accurate to
believe we can have ALL things we decide without loss,
exchange, or compromise. This is the law of balance and
compensation, and there will always be a price we must be
willing to pay to achieve our dreams.
Until we accept and embrace the ‘cost’ we will forever be
disappointed in our creative abilities and experiences.
2) You cannot become a masterful creator through force. NO
amount of visualization, affirmation, and positive thinking
alone will support your long term success and self-love.
This has been scientifically proven. Affirmations don’t work
and in fact can negatively spoil our self-esteem when, like
my friend R. in Australia, we realize that it doesn’t work
for us. According to a recently published study in
Psychological Science, “individuals with low self-esteem
actually felt worse about themselves after repeating
positive self-statements such as “I am a lovable person” or
“I will succeed.” And this negative feeling did not relent
when the participants became more insistent, tenacious, or
emphatic.
When we feel ‘negative’ we attract negatively. We cannot
deny our negative feelings and expect to manifest positive
outcomes.
We can, however, turn to the Spirit Within and resolve the
disconnection, thus resolving the negativity.
3) As long as your happiness is dependent upon the
obtainment of a visualized goal your fulfillment will be
short-lived at best.
It is NOT the manifestation of your desires that will create
happiness. It is the manifestation of happiness with what
IS that creates the manifestation of your desires.
It is not ‘money’, or ‘the outcome of a goal’, or ‘your job’
or ‘your spouse,’ or anything outside of you that is
responsible for your Joy or Prosperity. Nothing outside of
YOU is ever the CAUSE of your experience.
4) Detachment is more than the act of handing your desires
over to the Universe and trusting that they will manifest.
Detachment is more than being able to say, “this or
something better” or “I trust in the Divine to bring this
about in Perfect Order and Divine Timing.”
Detachment is the result of a solid faith, an unwavering
conviction in the all-providing activity of the Divine Mind
Within as the Source of ALL your good.
If you truly accepted that it is your Birthright to
experience Love, Joy, Peace, and Prosperity; that it is your
natural and inseparable state of grace to have your needs
met and your dreams fulfilled, would you ever judge what is
as ‘wrong’ or inappropriate?
No. You would instead, look at what is, give thanks for the
contrast and become excited about your renewed clarity. You
would then simply claim what you intend to experience
instead.
If you KNEW that no person and nothing could remove you from
your natural state of fulfillment; and that it is actually
impossible as a Divine Child of God with Unlimited Potential
to NOT have your wants, needs, and desires fulfilled, then
you would rest patiently, knowing that all is well and that
which you desire is in fact revealing itself already.
5) Although we play a co-creative role in all of our life’s
experiences, we are not ‘thoughtfully’ responsible for
creating bad things.
It is not accurate to say that the person that has cancer
‘created’ it because of their negative thoughts, or because
they were irresponsible with their health and emotional
well-being.
Super-annoying LOA fanatics will say crazy things like,
“well… they must have created the death of their child.”
This heartless and ignorant rhetoric casts a shadow on all
seekers of Truth as brainwashed, crazy cult members! This
is metaphysical malpractice and should not be tolerated or
endorsed.
Now, I also need to share what I feel is more accurate. We
have a responsibility and we play a creative role in every
experience, including ‘when bad things happen’.
However, it is inaccurate from our limited perspective to
sit in judgment of ‘what is’ as bad, negative, wrong, or
unfair.
While there is NOT some higher, external force asserting its
will over us or a pre-determined destiny that we have no
influence over, we are collaborating with a Higher Order
that is always aligned with our Higher Intentions.
I can say this with certainty because as an intentional
being, that knows how to apply the laws of the Universe, I
too have manifested great struggles and challenges.
I’ve collaborated with my higher self to manifest disease-
scares, physical abuse, abandonment, divorce, failure, my
son’s health challenges and birth defect, my financial rise
and fall on repeated occasions, and many more opportunities
for self-pity than I can share in one sitting.
In the end, these challenges have brought forth my passion
for teaching, my unquenchable thirst for Truth, and my
ability to believe in myself in ways that no ‘easy
manifestation’ ever could.
While those challenges were difficult, I know that I am a
better teacher and example because I courageously faced and
overcame those challenges. This, for me, is WHY I
participated in the experience and creation of failure and
challenge. And, I wouldn’t change those experiences for
anything.
6) I will not take back the Truth that you are unlimited.
This Divine Inheritance is not reserved for those of us who
are ‘gifted’ or somehow more special or lovable. The energy
that creates worlds is available to each of us equally.
7) There’s no silver bullet but there is a spiritual path
that many, many, many teachers have revealed.
First stop on the path: Meditation. No spiritual seeker
ever gained enlightenment without meditation. This is a
fact. While there are many forms of meditation that will
support enlightenment, there’s no form of all-encompassing
enlightenment that occurs without meditation.
Second stop on the path: Self-Awareness. If we do not
clearly see where we are, we cannot get where we want to go.
Through resolute self-assessment we determine what is
aligned with our values and higher intentions and what is
not. This is the path to change, growth, and ultimately
oneness with the Divine Inheritance we desire.
Third stop on the path: Service. As we align with our Higher
Self, we stop focusing on ‘our needs as uber-important’ and
start looking for opportunities to serve. This shift brings
forth a heightened sense of joy and meaning. This becomes
the substance, the emotional vibration, that in turn becomes
responsible for the fulfillment of the ‘things we said we
wanted’ in the first place.
Alas, this article is too long and still incomplete. There’s
so much more I’d like to communicate.
The bottom line is I cannot take back the Truth that you are
gifted and have the power to create your dreams. I do,
however, apologize for confusing the issue by implying that
it’s an effortless road. Enlightenment requires work.
However, ask anyone that has stayed the course, it’s worth
it.
I hold only one vision for you: Completely fulfilled,
supported, and loved.

Your Source and Supply is Always Within – Seek this first!
Category: Creative Manifesting — Anisa @ 4:42 pm
Quick Manifesting Morsel with Anisa Aven
Q:
Hi Anisa! I am a positive person. I am an independent professional and my income depends on how many clients I have. Over the last three weeks I have had a hard time getting my calendar full with appointments. I’ve been feeling terrible today, but after my talk with God, I let it go. I started to think positive again. However, HOW in God’s name can I bring more clients and get more paying customers? How can I make more money? HOW SHOULD I THINK???WHAT SHOULD I DO???PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! :– Linda
A:
First, notice how you changed your vibration by simply shifting from ‘things are really terrible’ to ‘God, please handle this.’ As you said, “after I talked with God I let it go.” You found peace by going within. This is also the answer to your question – ‘How should I think’ and ‘How can I make more money?’
The Peace Pilgrim walked more than 25,000 miles between 1953 and her death in 1981 simply because she wanted to share her message about how to create peace. Her passionate plea was really quite simple:
“There is a criterion by which you can judge whether the thoughts you are thinking and the things you are doing are right for you. The criterion is: Have they brought you inner peace? If they have not, there is something wrong with them, so keep seeking! If what you do has brought you inner peace, stay with what you believe is right.” - Peace Pilgrim (American Teacher and Spiritual leader and Peace Prophet, 1908-1981 www.peacepilgrim.com
When life’s rug is pulled out from under us, always seek your safe landing by first connecting with Spirit within. Ask and expect the Presence of God within to assist you.
In fact my favorite conversation with the Divine usually sounds something like, “God, this ‘issue’ is YOUR job and YOUR responsibility not mine. Therefore, I’m handing it over to you. I will relax and listen for your Divine Guidance. I will prepare to receive my good and know that this is handled. I will remember that my ONLY responsibility is to be aware of the Divine Presence within as the ONLY source and supply for all my good. I accept that as a Divine Child of God it is truly impossible for me to have any wants, needs or unfulfilled desires. Therefore, God, thank you for taking care of this for me. It is done.”
As you can see my conversation with God is not centered on ‘what else do I have to do to make my life right?’ It’s focused on – Universe, handle this and thank you!
Our source and supply is within. It’s not your job. It’s not the people you serve.
It’s not your clients, your contracts, or your employers. It’s not the government, your family, your spouse, your monthly stipend, or the number of people in your network.
No person, place, or thing is the source of your abundance.
Our abundance does not depend on the economy.
Our abundance does not come from how many people we know or how much money we have.
Our abundance does not depend on the lottery or an inheritance.
Now, for the skeptics – just because I am adamant that my source and supply is within does NOT mean that I do not believe in taking action without. I am a results gal! As soon as one goal is accomplished I’m passionate about getting to the next one. However, without inspired and aligned inspiration that leads to inspired and aligned action I’m just a hard-worker busting my butt in hopes of getting a break! And, we all know hard-workers that don’t have the proverbial ‘pot-to-piss-in’ as my redneck father would say!
YES – due diligence, attracting clients, getting gainful employment, etc. are all potential avenues for increased supply. And, yes-you may find that by taking actions like prospecting, and networking you attract more clients. YES, if you have inner guidance that says, ‘get a website’ or ’start marketing’ for example, and you do not follow it, then you are ignoring the Divine instruction that will lead to greater abundance.
However, by assuming that the ONLY way for you to become prosperous is through ONE channel i.e.: your work, your bank account, your inheritance, etc. you shut-down ALL the other avenues of infinite supply and possibility. You are an unlimited child of a loving and generous Father/Mother/God.
Refusing to open up to the unlimited source and supply of infinite possibilities is like choosing to ONLY eat grapes because that’s the only fruit you’ve ever tasted.
Imagine refusing all the fruits of your birthright by saying, “No – I only eat grapes.
I hear what you’re saying … that there are a million different flavors of fruits – apples, oranges, mango, pomegranates, kumquats, wolfberries, etc.. Thanks, but I’m really only interested in grapes. That’s what I know. That’s what I grew up with. That’s the only fruit I know how to pick and know how to eat and therefore I refuse all other fruits!”
Why do we refuse our birthright to unlimited fruits, or in this case unlimited supply?
As soon as we get attached to ONE source and supply we stop the flow. And, we forget where our real source and supply comes from thus resisting the very nature of life and evolution.
“People think of their supply as coming from certain investments, or from a business, or from an employer, perhaps; whereas these are merely the channels through which it comes, God being the Source. A particular channel is likely to change, because change is the cosmic law of manifestation. Stagnation is really death; but as long as you realize that the source of your supply is the one unchangeable Spirit, all is well. The fading out of one channel will be but the signal for the opening of another. In its inner and most important meaning, our daily bread signifies the realization of the Presence of God – an actual sense that God exists not merely in a nominal way, but as the great reality; we can rely upon Him to supply all that we need to have; teach us all that we need to know; and guide our steps so that we shall not make mistakes. This is Emanuel or God with us. “But my God shall supply all your needs”…(Philippians 4:19). – Emmet Fox http://www.emmetfox.net/
Once you align with the feeling that ‘all is well’, slow down and listen. You will hear the Divine Call that will say, ‘go here’ or ‘do this’. This inspired action will ALWAYS lead you to the next step in your abundance because it’s inspired.
My dear friend, Mina Brown, (my TurnKey Coaching Solutions business partner, my mentor, and one of the nation’s leading coaches) had a meeting earlier this week that was just drudgery to get to. It was pouring down rain, she was already not feeling well, she was 45 minutes late and didn’t want to be there. However, that voice inside kept urging her to just show up anyway. She courageously and blindly followed that voice. The events that unfolded were nothing short of Divinely Orchestrated because one old connection after another turned into multiple lucrative business opportunities.
Think of people in your life that have had to have a ‘money is not my supply’ mindset in order to create an abundant life doing what they love. I thought of a couple…
My family physician is a holistic MD. She believes the medical system is broken and refuses to deal with insurance companies. Her practice is booming. She’s so busy you can barely get in to see her and her clients have to pay up front for all services and file separately with their insurance. Think about how her mindset must be in order to believe, “I am successful and do not accept insurance.”
My best friend, Kelly Howard, owns Bayou City Outdoors. She decided years ago that she was going to get paid to ride bikes, travel to exotic places, go camping, hiking, sailing, skiing, kayaking, and make a lot of money playing full-out in an adventurous life! She gets paid to have parties! Imagine what her mindset must be to get paid to play? When people ask her how the economic downturn has affected her business, she says with full confusion, “what downturn?!?!”
The thing is ‘we were born to make manifest the GOD that is within us:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Marianne Williamson (American Author and Lecturer, spiritual leader of the Church of Today)
Now, I’ve discovered that the more I become aware of this Truth, the easier it is to manifest whatever I want in a gazillion different ways I could have never imagined.
I started my path some 20 years ago by studying Ernest Holmes’ Science of Mind:
“The answer to every question is within man, because man is within Spirit and Spirit is an Indivisible Whole. The solution to every problem is within man; the healing of all disease is within man; the forgiveness of all sin is within man; the raising of the dead is within man; Heaven is within man. That is why Jesus prayed to this indwelling “I am” and said: “Our Father Which art in Heaven.” He also said: “The Kingdom of God is within you.” – Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind
Now… how do you activate that Presence of God? –By having that conversation with the Divine and letting it go again; Then, by BEING that which you desire, now.

BEINGNESS – Critical Secret for Manifesting Law of Attraction Success
Category: Creative Manifesting — Anisa @ 1:23 pm
First, you must BE Abundance in order to Manifest Abundance.
The #1 Conscious Success principle that eludes even advanced students of the law of attraction is BEINGNESS. For example, to intentionally manifest abundance you must first BE Abundant.
One of the reasons BEING is an entirely overlooked concept is the ineffable nature of what it means to actually ‘BE’.
Asking me ‘what does it mean to BE’ is like asking someone what a strawberry tastes like. When Ashlyn was 3 or 4 she asked ‘what does a strawberry taste like?’ and, then refused to eat one until I could satisfy her need to know first. But, how do I describe what a strawberry tastes like? I said, “It’s sweet and sometimes tart.” That made her interested but wasn’t enough. I said, “it’s slightly seedy and it has a tender crunch.” But, that hardly does a strawberry justice. I added, “A good strawberry is like a party in your mouth of the most wonderful kind” but that’s hardly true for everyone and Ashlyn decided I was misleading her. She didn’t try strawberries for a long time!
If it’s the #1 principle that eludes conscious creators but it also escapes words, then how can you learn how to do something that no one can fully explain?
Take a look at the online Free Dictionary says about ‘beingness’:
Noun1.beingness – the state or fact of existing; “a point of view gradually coming into being”; “laws in existence for centuries”:
” being, existence
” state – the way something is with respect to its main attributes; “the current state of knowledge”; “his state of health”; “in a weak financial state”
” actuality – the state of actually existing objectively; “a hope that progressed from possibility to actuality”
” timeless existence, timelessness, eternity – a state of eternal existence believed in some religions to characterize the afterlife
” preexistence – existing in a former state or previous to something else
” coexistence – existing peacefully together
” subsistence – the state of existing in reality; having substance
” presence – the state of being present; current existence; “he tested for the presence of radon”
” life – the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living; “he hoped for a new life in Australia”; “he wanted to live his own life without interference from others”
” aliveness, animation, living, life – the condition of living or the state of being alive; “while there’s life there’s hope”; “life depends on many chemical and physical processes”
” life – a characteristic state or mode of living; “social life”; “city life”; “real life”
” transcendence, transcendency – a state of being or existence above and beyond the limits of material experience
” possibleness, possibility – capability of existing or happening or being true; “there is a possibility that his sense of smell has been impaired”
As you can see, even the expert dictionary writers have a hard time ‘pinning’ this one down!
If we relate BEINGNESS to our intention, for example, of manifesting abundance, then to apply BEINGNESS intentionally means BEING Abundant even before you actually manifest the physical representation of abundance. Psst! Here’s the secret that I feel I have to repeat, BEING abundant first is required to manifest abundance!
As students of the law of attraction, we’ve been told to embrace BEING wealth if we are to manifest wealth; we’ve been taught that we must BE abundance to manifest abundance but how do we do that if we aren’t sure what ‘being wealthy’ feels like? How can we BE something that we’ve never been before?
Let me describe in extremely inadequate and segmented words what BEING is and what it is not, in regards to manifesting abundance:
| Not BEING Wealth | BEING Wealth |
| Wealth is external | Wealth is internal |
| Outward search for prosperity | Awareness of the presence of abundance within |
| Feel separate from wealth | Pure quietness and connection |
| Something’s missing | I am complete |
| Doing rather than being | Being rather than doing |
| Uncertainty | Certainty |
| Mental Chatter | Stillness |
| Confusion | Awakened |
| Disconnection | Connection |
| Mental haze | Alertness |
| Judgmental | Objective / non-judgmental |
| Nebulous | Clarity |
| Struggling Effort | Effortless effort |
| Inertia | Flow |
| Pre-conditioned | Intuitive |
| Over thinking | In the zone |
| Attached | Detached |
A friend that’s taking my Advanced Manifesting Abundance program emailed, “[I've been doing all the right things - forgiveness, meditation, visualization, affirmation, EFT, etc.] However, I am still not getting a prosperity consciousness confidence because I tend to think that I am doing a lot of theory. I am hoping to get the realization within me soon.”
YES! I could do a leprechaun pot-o-gold-jig, because my friend has moved from ‘how do I get wealth’ to ‘how do I be wealth’. In fact, his words, “prosperity consciousness confidence’ may be one of the BEST definitions of BEING PROSPERITY I’ve ever read.
Here’s another way of looking at it from David Cameron Gikandi’s book, Happy Pocket Full of Money:
“Be Wealth. Do not try to get wealth. Be Wealth. To help you understand that,
consider happiness. Do not try to get happiness, Be Happy. See? You can either
try to do things that make you happy, or you can instantly decide to be happy,
just make a decision. …[and] this is the same with wealth. Be Wealth. And everything else will follow automatically, as long as you are always, at all moments, Being Wealth. Just Be It.” – David Cameron Gikandi
If you are seeking to increase your prosperity and manifest abundance, then do yourself a favor and read this article over and over again until YOUR intuition starts guiding you to ‘how to BE wealth’ now.
To increase your ability to comprehend the prosperity consciousness confidence, meditate on ‘what being’ actually means. Spend some time re-reading this article and when you find yourself irritated because you just don’t ‘get it’, then use Emotional Freedom Technique to eliminate your doubts.
If you’re an EFT student, then I’ve included some potential EFT phrases:
- Even though I don’t have a clue how to be abundance… (I love and accept myself.)
- Even though I’m frustrated with trying to ‘be’ something that I have never experienced before…(I love and accept myself.)
- Even though I doubt I’ll ever get this concept of ‘beingness’…(I love and accept myself.)
- Even though I feel left out, ignorant, and just plain stupid for not understanding how to apply this principle of being wealth first…(I love and accept myself.)
With the reminder:
- This confusion
- This doubt
- This lack of clarity
- I feel stupid
- I feel such confusion and lack of understanding
Potential Positive Implants:
- What if I allowed myself to just BE wealth, even though I don’t understand it?
- What if allowed spirit to guide me in BEING abundant first…
- If I did understand what prosperity consciousness confidence felt like, what would that be?
- I am Wealth, now.
- I am Abundant, now.
- I am Prosperous, now.
(Attn: Advanced Manifesting Prosperity students, you may also use the guided EFT/NLP rounds inside your member’s area marked ‘beingness’ to support you in making this critical transition to Prosperity Consciousness Confidence.)
Remember what I said earlier, that Ashlyn didn’t try strawberries for a very long time because I could not satisfy her question, ‘what does it taste like?”
Like Ashlyn, if you do not UNDERSTAND what BEING actually means and WHY it’s important for your success, then you probably won’t try it either. And, even if you do ‘try’ BEINGNESS, if you do not fully comprehend just how wonderful it is then you are not likely to stick with the commitment long enough to really experience the manifestation results of moving beyond ‘trying to be wealth’ and actually BEING wealth.
I’m here to tell you that once Ashlyn tried strawberries she realized this was her very favorite food of all time. She will literally sit down with a carton of strawberries and devour them in one short sitting!
My request of you is you start meditating, contemplating and BEING wealth so that you too may experience your most favorite state-of-being-of all time too!
I look forward to hearing of your success!

Q: But, I don’t have any limiting beliefs? Why can’t I manifest abundance?
Category: Creative Manifesting — Anisa @ 5:35 pm
In a hurry? You can also listen to my f*ree mini-coaching audio: “Why it’s important to eliminate or neutralize our stress-responses in order to manifest what we really want” here.
Q: I don’t feel as though I have any limiting beliefs. I’m happy most of the time and overall I have a good life. However, I still struggle with money and don’t quite get what I’m doing wrong when it comes to manifesting the abundance that you and so many other law of attraction teachers say should be ‘easy’.
A: Did I say easy? Well, if I did – then I take it back. The process of using the law of attraction is simple however, easy is subjective and not necessarily the path each of us chooses to take.
I took a kayaking lesson this weekend on the San Marcos River (with Ben Kvanli, a former Olympic Kayak Competitor www.Kayakinstruction.org and my best friend, Kelly with www.BayouCityOutdoors.com) and while the instructor made it look ‘easy’ as he said, ‘all you have to do to avoid an obstacle is paddle like this’, it didn’t mean that I ‘got it’ from watching his example.
In fact, one of Ben’s lessons for us was, “Don’t focus on the obstacle or you’ll crash right into it!” Well, I know this from being a biker too. I know that if I see a pothole in front of me, I have to look immediately to where I want to ride (not the pothole) or I’ll crash every time! Never the less, I locked eyes with the rock this weekend and crashed right into it! Then, I flipped and although I wanted to turn myself back over, I had to ‘tap-for-help’ because I simply did not possess the body-memory to flip back myself.
In learning to manifest prosperity, we have to learn to NOT look at the stressors in order to navigate around them! And, it’s okay to ‘tap-for-help’ because that’s the fastest and easiest way to learn how to manifest more quickly!
For example, one of the things that we’ll be going through in my advanced manifesting prosperity program is how to get rid of each and every ’stress-factor’ that has us focused on the ‘rocks’ and unable to focus on where we want to go instead.
The term ‘limiting belief’ does not always equate to a conscious thought of limitation. No. Limiting beliefs also show up as our daily stress-response.
When we have limiting emotions such as fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, blame, regret, confusion, craving, anger, or scorn for example – we HAVE limiting beliefs that are actually inspiring those emotions (this is true whether we believe we have limiting beliefs or not.)
Fortunately, there’s a step-by-step approach to learning how to focus on where you want to go and NOT on the rocks or potholes. By being willing to address our stress-response, for example, we can start receiving the benefits of intentionality long before we’ve actually achieved total freedom from doubt.
The goal, of course, is to use the power of our minds and emotions to launch a vision of what we want with pure-belief.
In fact, Abraham says that it only takes 68 seconds of pure-belief to manifest something. However, how do you get to PURE-BELIEF when you’re holding up your bills while staring down your empty bank-ledger?
How do you NOT look at the ‘obstacle’ of ‘no money’ when daily you see examples of not having enough?
Let me be clear – I’m not suggesting you ignore your bills or ignore the obstacles either. Just because we ignore something doesn’t mean that the vibrational frequency of that fear or that stress goes away. We cannot always eliminate the obstacle by ignoring it, but we can learn to have a different response to it in order to navigate around it and then attract something better.
Our biggest obstacle to poor manifestation success is NOT the ‘empty bank ledger’ but the stress that occurs as a response, to there not being enough money; the conditioned stress response to not being able to pay our bills or purchase what we want, when we want it, is to feel worried and fearful because there simply isn’t enough ‘money’.
As long as we have a stress response to our situation, we will attract more things to be stressed-out about – which means less money and more bills.
Then, even if we attract more money, we’ll attract more bills because the stress response is in vibrational harmony to more stress. We cannot get out of this cycle with intentionality alone unless we also eliminate, neutralize or positively alter our stress-response when we observe our current reality.
Want to change NOW!?!?
Learn to offer a higher-vibrational, conditioned response to the ’stressful’ situation, now. Here’s what I mean by that.
When we accept our pure-potentiality even if we had a $50K or $100K unexpected expense come our way, it wouldn’t faze us. (Just like my masterful teacher this weekend – not a single obstacle on the river EVER fazed him on any level.) When we are aligned, we never have a fear or a doubt about handling it. Instead, when we believe in our unlimited potential, we are impervious. It comes our way and even if we don’t know how we are going to pay it, we immediately shift to:
“Hmm… isn’t this interesting. Gosh, it’s going to be so much fun to see how the Universe is going to help me handle this!? It’s going to be so much fun because I know it’s going to be exciting. This is an opportunity. Wow! This is an interesting situation. Okay! Bring it ON UNIVERSE, because I trust that all is well! I trust that the magnificent abundance that is my birthright is already flowing my way in the most fantastic of ways! I trust that this is already handled and I give thanks for this now. I don’t know how it’s going to be handled, I just know that it is. I fully expect it and make room for that now. I feel so excited knowing that the Universe has a wonderful surprise in store for me. Hallelujah! This is handled!”
Similar to when I was kayaking this weekend, when I chose to feel confident and strong and expected the best, I floated right over those rapids without so much as momentary glitch or rookie-roll-over! I even went down a 14-foot, man-made waterfall twice (once backwards just so I could say I did it!)
However, there were times when I was fighting my boat and struggling with the water and sure enough – every time the fear would take over, I’d flip my boat and lose control! When I learned to trust in the river and allow my boat to do its job (float) – I sailed effortlessly downstream and loved every flowing moment of fun and adventure.
Thus, one of the most important elements of masterful and advanced law of attraction techniques is to change and ideally eliminate your stress response entirely!
You can do this with EFT (and NLP) for example. By neutralizing the stress in your life, you start to see around the obstacles (not ignoring them but looking past them). And, once you start really looking past the ‘empty bank ledger’ or the ‘lack of savings’ or whatever ‘reality situation’ has your attention you’ll begin to see that you really can manifest a smooth transition from what ‘is’ to what could be instead.
Here’s an exercise for you:
Apply EFT to your Stress-Response
***Pick-up those bills, hold each one in your hand while you tap/neutralize with EFT each and every ’stress-response’ to each and every thought or feeling no matter how trite, subtle, or insignificant it may seem in the moment. Walk yourself through every bill and every dream that you feel requires ‘money’ to manifest. Be methodical and don’t stop until you feel NOTHING stressful about ANY of your bills or dreams.
You’ll know that you are taking steps in the right direction at first because you’ll simple feel lighter, and more hopeful, and more at ease as you hold those bills or when you hold your vision-board and fantasize about that World Cruise you want to take. You may find that initially ‘this more optimistic feeling’ will be precarious and not as solid or consistent as you know it ’should’ be. That’s okay! This awareness that “I’m not quite 100% certain and confident” is exactly what you want to tune-into. It’s through this awareness that you do another round of EFT and take it to the next level, and the next level, and so on until you finally land in that vibrational bliss-zone of “all is well, all the time” and “I am pure potential .”
When you get to this ‘bliss-zone’ you’ll be launching with pure-belief. And, that’s when REAL magic and miracles and instant manifestations will show up for you.

I have two goals: how do I keep from sending out mixed signals to create them both?
Category: Creative Manifesting — Anisa @ 1:55 pm
Q: I found you on Bishop Wilson’s site. I’m glad I did and you are truly AWESOME. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you’re doing. QUESTION…
I have been acting for the last few months, I’m new at it and have done extremely well. My goal is to land a full-time/permanent role on a TV series and continue acting in film and commercial productions, too. This will take a bit more training and training costs money $$$. My husband lost his income a few years ago and is currently growing a small-business, which is not profitable, just yet. If he were working right now, I could continue pursuing acting full-time.We have a mortgage and our other financial responsibilities. Sometimes I feel I am telling a lie when I put out to the universe that I want to be a full time actor, because at the same time I’m putting out that I need a full time income (a day job) -to pay those bills! Should I be putting out the following??
Universe – thank you for a lucrative income “while” I’m cutting over to my full-time/permanent acting career. Thank you for a day-job that allows me to freely take time off (any time I have to) for auditions and acting work, in return I will come in early or stay late to make up the time — and use my vacation days when I have to work a full day or two on an acting job.
I just want to make sure I’m not slowing my request down or coming across confused. – MKJ
A:
We are indeed unlimited and therefore there is nothing that we cannot do, be, or have. AND, there are times with the rules of engagement and the rules of society dictate what we can ‘believe’ is possible for us. Thus, I find that it’s better to hold TWO visions – one that allows me to fantasize about my unlimited potential bringing me closer to my BHAG (Big-Hairy-Audacious-Goals) and one that acknowledges what I currently want and believe is possible for me (given my beliefs about my current reality.)
Listen to my quick example of how to build the bridge to the fulfillment of both your ‘current’ needs and future desires:

Waiting on the Universe-Managed-Welfare to manifest prosperity?
Category: Creative Manifesting — Anisa @ 12:45 pm
Want to manifest prosperity but anxiously waiting on the “Universe Managed Welfare” to pay up?
Most conscious creators hoping to intentionally create prosperity end up sabotaging their Divine Birthright to abundance. We end up waiting on the Universe to pay-up because after all we’ve been visualizing taking possession of all these wonderful, opulent things; And, shouldn’t that be enough to stock our bank account with untold riches?
In fact, I believe knowing the LOA often creates this desire for handouts and an expectation of a “Universe managed welfare” system. In the movie The Great Debaters, Denzel Washington’s character argued, “Welfare discourages hard work. Welfare takes away a man’s strongest reason for working; which is survival and that weakens the will of the poor.”
I once received a call from a reader wanting to know how to use the Law of Attraction to manifest abundance. As the conversation progressed she revealed that she didn’t want to get a job, save any money, donate any of her time or treasures, make any investments, stop spending, or take any action whatsoever. What she wanted was to prove the Universal Laws by sitting at home and manifesting money without ever picking up a finger.
My response: “Yes. You are an unlimited child of God and thus you can create anything you choose. If this is the only way you are willing to create prosperity then please start with a serious spiritual, meditation sabbatical. I suggest you move to India, find an Ashram and meditate 75% of your waking time for the next year.” This of course required ‘lifting a finger’ and therefore was not what she was willing to do in order to have it her way.
A couple of years later I received an email from her. Sadly, she had not only discovered that the Universe Managed Welfare system does not exist but she had also decided that the entire field of personal development and spirituality was a sham. I also know that many of you feel this way too at times because it ‘feels so challenging to get the LOA to work’.
I do know LOA students who have manifested incredible win-falls. From the outside one might wonder why it was so easy for them and envy their ‘luck’. However, not only are the win-falls the minority experience but not a single ‘win-fall’ that I’ve ever observed came without a price-tag and/or untold amounts of personal development work.
Remember the Tortoise and the Hare childhood story?
The Tortoise and the Hare
An Aesop Fable
One day a hare was bragging about how fast he could run. He bragged and bragged and even laughed at the tortoise, who was so slow. The tortoise stretched out his long neck and challenged the hare to a race, which, of course, made the hare laugh.
“My, my, what a joke!” thought the hare. “A race, indeed, a race. Oh! What fun! My, my! A race, of course, Mr. Tortoise, we shall race!” said the hare.
The forest animals met and mapped out the course. The race begun, and the hare, being such a swift runner, soon left the tortoise far behind. About halfway through the course, it occurred to the hare that he had plenty of time to beat the slow trodden tortoise.
“Oh, my!” thought the hare, “I have plenty of time to play in the meadow here.”
And so he did.
After the hare finished playing, he decided that he had time to take a little nap.
“I have plenty of time to beat that tortoise,” he thought. And he cuddled up against a tree and dozed.
The tortoise, in the meantime, continued to plod on, albeit, it ever so slowly. He never stopped, but took one good step after another.
The hare finally woke from his nap. “Time to get going,” he thought. And off he went faster than he had ever ran before! He dashed as quickly as anyone ever could up to the finish line, where he met the tortoise, who was patiently awaiting his arrival.
(shared from http://www.storyit.com/Classics/Stories/tortoisehare.htm)
One moral of this story is ’slow and steady wins the race’. Indeed when it comes to accepting that the ESSENSE of Prosperity includes the essence of both resilience and persistence and patience (A.K.A faith) then we can learn a great deal about how to use the Universal Laws to make our lives more prosperous with the theme of ’slow and steady wins every time.’
However, there’s another moral for conscious creators. The idea that ‘we can take a nap’ because the Law of Attraction makes life easier only works when your level of faith, trust, and absolute certainty is as solid as your belief that the sun will rise tomorrow. That’s the only time I’ve seen ‘napping’ as an aligned choice. (And, it’s glorious to nap under those conditions I might add – but try taking a nap when you know you’re just avoiding your work and the nap just seems lazy, uninspired, and depressing! That’s not the devil speaking – that’s your spiritual self telling you there’s more consciousness work to do!)
Many conscious creators have their priorities mixed up. They want ‘creating wealth’ to be easy and magical even more than they want to experience the prosperity itself. Thus, they choose to nap long before they’ve completed the transformation from poverty consciousness to prosperity consciousness.
There’s always an exchange of energy that occurs for every manifestation. There’s always a price to pay for the creation and fulfillment of any dream. Period. The Law of Attraction never engages without its interdependent partner, the Law of Reciprocity.
For me, this is good news! With the facts clearly outlined, I can create prosperity using a systematic blueprint in alignment with the Universal Principles.
I believe we can choose to cooperate with what we are given while opening up to the possibility of magic and miracles. However, I discourage the idea of shutting down your options. For example, never build prosperity dams by choosing to say, “that’s the only way I want it” or “the only way it can happen for me.”
On the other hand, this doesn’t mean it has to be ‘hard work’ but we do have to do our due diligence. If you do not have Prosperity – the kind of prosperity you really want – then your dominant vibration is out of alignment! It’s not because you don’t deserve it or because there’s something wrong with your efforts or you, but because you are not focusing more on the ‘essence’ of prosperity than on the ‘essence’ of poverty.
What ‘work’ do you need to do? Get rid of ALL limiting beliefs and negative emotions including self-doubts, universal/global consciousness doubts until you are so aligned with JOY that you are ‘Rich’ even before you are ‘wealthy’.
One way is EFT. With EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) you can learn to commit to ’slow and steady’ while actually achieving great strides in one swift tapping round at a time. I’ve seen students move from actual welfare to making more than they ever have in a matter of weeks. Of course, I must admit that these students were diligent in their EFT & LOA commitment.
There’s really no ‘get rich quick’ scheme out there except for the spiritual path of Divine Inheritance. The sooner you allow yourself to both accept your Unlimited Potential while simultaneously doing what must be done physically (saving, investing, exchanging energy, etc.) the sooner you’ll manifest prosperity.
It is after all your birthright. However, it’s not going to happen if you’re napping instead of stepping-up to your call.
I look forward to hearing of your success!
Create a great day!

Q: Would you elaborate on what you meant when you said you find certainty more powerful than faith because you get caught up in the “God’s Will not My Will” problem? I have really struggled with the New Thought and Law of Attraction concepts because I do still believe in my Christian heritage. So, how do you reconcile God’s Will with our continued desire to be and create more through the law of attraction? How does that work?
A:
I’ve been pondering this question for a few weeks now….wondering if I have the courage to talk about something so controversial; wondering if my little mind could find a way to articulate my real feelings about God’s Will vs. My Will vs. Ego-Will in a succinct enough manner to do the question justice.
Then, as the Divine always does, when I handed my questions and doubts over, I was handed the most appropriate response.
My dear friend, Janis Foley, sent me a lovely book some time ago that I finally felt inspired to read – Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Here’s the excerpt that God wanted me to read and share with you:
“I explained to Iva my personal opinions about prayer. Namely, that I don’t feel comfortable petitioning for specific things from God, because that feels to me like a kind of weakness of faith. I don’t like asking, “Will you change this or that thing in my life that’s difficult for me?” Because – who knows?- God might want me to be facing that particular challenge for a reason. Instead, I feel more comfortable praying for the courage to face whatever occurs in my life with equanimity, no matter how things turn out.
Iva listened politely, then asked, “Where’d you get that stupid idea?”
“What do you mean?”
“Where did you get the idea you aren’t allowed to petition the universe with prayer? You are part of this universe, Liz. You’re a constituent – you have every entitlement to participate in the actions of the universe, and to let your feelings be known. So put your opinion out there. Make your case. Believe me — it will at least be taken into consideration.”

As conscious creators seeking to live the highest and best, intending to fulfill our life’s purpose – we are ALWAYS seeking to align with God’s Will – which in fact, is also OUR will (our highest Will that is.)
We are not separate from God’s Will. God’s Will is always the highest aligned experience of Love, Peace, Joy, Prosperity, Wellness, Wisdom, Beauty, and Wholeness. And, our Will is always the highest aligned experience of the same.
I do not want to suggest that we always get our highest desire, we do not. However, we do get what we are most vibrationally aligned with – without exception.
I can’t speak for you but I was taught that the Man upstairs ‘works in mysterious ways’ and that as a good Christian, I wasn’t to question His methods but to know that He has His reasons for inflicting suffering when He does. I was taught that God’s Will was separate from mine, just as we are separate from Him.
I know I’ve shared with you that my best friend was killed in a terrible car wreck when I was 13. The best intended comfort was not very comforting: “God’s Will is difficult to understand sometimes.”
All I could think was, “WHAT?! How the hell could anyone say that it was God’s Will to rip my beautiful friend away from me, and leave her family devastated?!?!”
Then of course I had to think of the other tragedies in my life and when I thought of some long-bearded man sitting on his throne randomly dishing out consequences I rebelled. Why would He choose to save the two men that shot my grandfather in cold blood while moments later allowing my friend to die young in a car crash?!? What I really wanted was for God to come right down here and chat with my fist a minute or two.
It was the crazy thought that God was somewhere else handing out random judgments about who would be ‘punished’ and who would be stricken with terminal illness and who would be widowed early etc. that worked me into frenzy. Where’s the congruency between, God is loving and just and random acts of wrath?
I felt angry and never reconciled the teachings of “God is Just” with “God also likes to play Craps with our lives for fun; but don’t be mad at God he really loves you.“
What?!?!
This still doesn’t make sense to me. Of course, I’ve been denounced for my questioning and sinful ways –”You are not to question God’s word; only to trust it.”
But, did I actually HAVE God’s word? Or, did I have the words as interpreted and translated hundreds if not thousands of times, by various leaders with vastly different motives, through the ages?
I decided to start looking secretly for more answers. I’m not suggesting that my path should be your path. However, if you intend to be a masterful conscious creator then overcoming the idea that God’s Will is separate from our Highest Will is required, one way or another.
“I am a free being, choosing to align my will with God’s will.” – Kabballah Affirmation
When we align with God’s Will (our highest will) there’s never strife, ego, selfishness, fear, doubt, guilt, shame, envy, poverty etc. The highest vibration of life contains all that is Good and thus the highest Will of all includes bliss, love, acceptance, peace, wholeness, and prosperity.
Unlike the idea that we humans are inherently bad and born sinners, it is actually our highest path to be aligned with the consciousness of Love and Peace; the consciousness of the Christ Mind within.
Ernest Holmes, founder of The Science of Mind, explains it this way:
“We Believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite selfknowingness of God. We Believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the One Spirit. We Believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding. We Believe that heaven is within us and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of IT. We Believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all. We Believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God. We Believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling Presence. We Believe in the direct revelation of Truth through the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God. We Believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by the Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it. We Believe in the healing of the sick through the Power of this Mind. We Believe in the control of conditions through the Power of this Mind. We Believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all. We Believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all is God.”
The old version of God’s Will as separate from us, simply isn’t congruent with the Conscious Creators intention of understanding and accepting our Unlimited Potential as Divine Children of an All-Providing father/mother/God.
“I am a channel of transmission, gathering and passing on all that comes to and through me for the good, to other living beings and to the next generation.” Kabbalah Affirmation
On the other hand, we also have this ego-will that rears its head – and this is NOT God’s Will/Our Highest Will.
The ego-will looks at our life and judges our circumstances as wrong or unfair and then says,
“I don’t accept this. I want more.” But, the ego-will says I want more from this bratty place of “I’m entitled because I believe I should have this and if I don’t get it then I’m going to throw a fit.”
The fit comes in many forms: working harder, judging others, bemoaning our life, and overall a general denial of SOURCE as our one and only supply.
There’s a difference between relying on my will (ego-will) – where I am determined to rely on only my strength and my own abilities, vs. when I rely on God’s Will (My Highest Will). When I rely on God’s Will, the entire Universe dances with delight on my playground and my True Self of unlimited potential shows up to lead the fun!
OH – stop! Let’s not forget to address the benefit of Faith in God’s Will! I have to take a moment to celebrate the Power of Faith and the Brilliant gift of real, Faith.
If we choose to accept that there’s always a Divine Order and thus we accept that God’s Will is at hand and therefore part of the Divine Plan that is Just, and Good, and Reliable, then we learn to leverage that all critical law of allowing (law of detachment) principle called FAITH!
This is WHY prayer and handing it over to God, is so incredibly powerful! Most of us have these limiting beliefs about ourselves. We still believe that we are not worthy of all that we desire; that we are not good enough and not talented, smart, lovable enough etc.
When we criticize our own worth, we disconnect from our Highest-Will (God’s Will). Thus, we experience that disconnection in the form of self-doubt and all the limited resources that this doubt manifests in our lives.
For many, it’s FAR easier to have FAITH in a separate but Good, Loving, Omnipotent God than to reconcile our own self-esteem.
In this situation, DO NOT worry about whether or NOT you believe that the spiritual power is within you – continue to work the system that works for you! If it’s easier to say God is Great and therefore I trust in His/Her Power – run with it!
And, if you desire to be a conscious creator with greater flexibility to employ the principles of attraction, then start to build that bridge between your self-love and your love of the Divine.
Now, for my progressive Christian friends who think I’m walking an uncomfortably fine-line here – this is NOT so different than what Jesus says throughout his teachings:
Jesus said to him, “‘If you are able?’ Everything is possible for the person who believes!” – Mark 9:23
And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20
Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” – John 11:40
Now you’re really going to think I’ve crossed the line because I’m going to follow bible verses with a Clint Eastwood quote -à “A good man knows his limitations.”
What?! How does ‘limitations’ work when we are supposed to be unlimited beings capable of attracting and creating anything our heart desires?
Because, we, in our ego-will, are separate from God and are therefore limited. However, when we combine our will with God’s will, we become one. It is in this oneness that we NEVER have to question whether or not our goals are on their way because “it is done”. It is in this oneness that we can relax and let the Divine Order take the wheel, because “It is done.” It is in this oneness that we can trust in the Divine Timing of the situation and look at every experience as the perfect manifestation for our highest growth at the moment, for our growth is assured, our goals are certain, and “It is done.”
You are a Divine Child of an all-providing Father/Mother/God. It is done.
