Your Source and Supply is Always Within – Seek this first!

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

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:

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.

Our abundance does not come from how many people we know or how much money we have.

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.

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?!?!”

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:

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

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?

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:

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:

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.

(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!

Q: But, I don’t have any limiting beliefs? Why can’t I manifest abundance?

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.

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:

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.”

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.

What’s the difference between God’s Will and My Will ??

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?

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.

“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.

“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.”

—-> Excerpt from Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (brilliant book – a must read!)

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.“

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.

“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.”

Certainty- secret ingredient for super-fast manifesting

Certainty: Learn how to conjure and exemplify this emotion to yield fast (and sometimes instant) manifestations.

A pivotal moment in every Law of Attraction student’s studies is the life-changing, ah-ha realization that the fully comprehend the one ingredient that has been missing all along – certainty. The ONE ingredient that they ‘knew’ they needed but didn’t KNOW how exactly to add it; the ONE ingredient that would make all the difference in the world to their success; that one ingredient that supersedes all other LOA mind-tricks is certainty.

From the moment that you begin to infuse your intentions with certainty – you will begin to see real results that continue to grow and expand!
I do not want to understate the importance of this lesson. Certainty is the epochal (life-changing) emotion responsible for consistent intentional creation success.

Certainty is defined as the mental state of being without doubt. But, certainty is not just a ‘state’ that happens to us, it is an emotion that we can consciously choose. We tend to think of certainty as the remaining ‘aftertaste’ once we’ve tasted the sweetness of our dreams fulfilled. However, waiting until our dreams are already manifested to feel certain is like waiting to see if anyone wins the lottery before buying our ticket!

In On Being Certain: Believing You Are Right Even When You’re Not by Robert Burton, the author shares the Challenger Study. Right after the Challenger disaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger_disaster) in 1986, Ulric Neiser, a professor and psychologist, asked 106 students to journal where they were when they heard the news of the tragedy. 2 ½ years later he asked again, “where were you?” Less than 10% had the same memory as when they first journaled and 25% had strikingly different recollections. However, what was most interesting was that many students were absolutely insistent that their new journal entry was correct one. In fact one student even said of his 1986 entry, “That’s my handwriting, but that’s not what happened.”

You see, we conjure our emotional state of certainty on an everyday basis. What we are certain of today, we are choosing to be certain about. This study shows that we have strong convictions regarding our memories and what we believe to be right, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we are accurate in our memory or conviction.

If you are looking for a way to wrap your mind around how to use this powerful emotion of certainty, then think about this study and how it gives you permission to be certain now, about something that you want to experience. Choose to be certain that it has already manifested and you are simply walking towards it, paving the way, preparing to receive and experience it

Certainty is an emotional choice that we can and must choose to feel at our discretion. Certainty should not only be experienced after the goal is obtained but as a chosen precursor dictating the manifestation. It’s this emotion that will make the difference between sporadic manifesting results and creating like clockwork.

In fact, if you find detachment difficult, add certainty and see how quickly attachment dissipates. You cannot feel ‘attached’ to the outcome and ‘certain’ at the same time.

Some may call this faith. Indeed, it is similar to faith. However, I find certainty to be more powerful than faith as I tend to weaken my emotional confidence when I get caught up in the ‘have faith’ conversation about “God’s Will, not Thy Will” (and, that’s another discussion entirely.) Do not misunderstand me. Faith is powerful and many creators use faith effectively. However, there’s even greater power in combining faith with certainty. Handing your dreams and goals over to your higher power (in faith) while claiming it to be done (certainty) can create warp-speed results.

How do you experience greater certainty and harness this powerful attraction field, in spite of not having all that you want?

1)    To experience what certainty feels like take a moment and think upon the following:
“         The sun will rise tomorrow.
“         There are pores on my skin
“         Gravity is holding me in place.
“         I am reading these words.
“         I am breathing.
“         I am … (fill in the blanks with something you know.)

How certain are you the above is true? How do you know it’s true? How do you know you are breathing? How do you know the sun will rise tomorrow? How do you know there are pores on your skin? If you can’t see, taste, touch, or measure gravity then how can you be sure that gravity is holding you in place? What does this certainty feel like?
Take a moment to write down your reflections: what does the certainty that you have about the sun rising feel like?

3) Now, imagine that this emotion of certainty were somewhere in your body. (Tip: do not second guess yourself. You can only get this wrong by answering ‘I don’t know’. Whatever answers come forth – run with it, that’s what’s right for you.)

If this certainty were located somewhere inside or outside your body, where would it be?
If it had a shape, what shape would it be? How big or how small is this shape?
If it were a color, what color would it be?
If it had a texture, what texture would it be?
If it had a sound, what sound might it make?
If it had a texture, what texture would it be?
Does it have any other qualities that you can make a note of?
Now, imagine that this state of certainty – the state of knowing that the sun will rise tomorrow – were entirely contained in this shape you’ve identified.

4) Turn it up! Now, imagine there are little knobs on this shape. The knob on the right controls the clarity, sharpness, and definition. The knob on the left controls the intensity.
Turn each knob, sensing the clicks, and imagining that you are tuning the clarity and the intensity up to a 10. Keep imagining you are intensifying the feeling of certainty with each and every turn of the knob, until you get to a 10.
This is your state of certainty.

5) Now, select one goal that you have (just one goal that you are very clear about, for now.)
Imagine you are standing inside the moment when you KNOW you’ve just accomplished this dream. Choose any moment that represents the end result you want or a milestone along the way. Imagine something that you can sense clearly such as making a deposit, holding your loved ones hand, getting that award, etc. Choose something that is real to you that you can sense (see, feel, taste, in some way.)

6) Superimpose your state of certainty onto this milestone or end result. As you feel that state of certainty invading the scene, use the knobs to turn up the emotions and clarity. Continue to turn the knobs until you are a 10, while simultaneously holding the vision of your goal fulfilled.

7) Breathe it in. Allow yourself to rejoice and give thanks for the complete fulfillment of this now.

8) Let it go. Imagine that you are releasing this vision and as it flies away, continue to feel that sense of certainty and gratitude. So be it. It is done.

9) Prepare to receive it. For it is done.
If when you do this exercise at first you do not feel the certainty translated, continue to go back to the thought, “I know the sun will rise tomorrow” and feel that level of conviction and certainty. Turn up the volume, clarity, and intensity with your knobs and then shift your mind again to that final result.

Our minds are wonderful machines that will accept your symbol (and state) of certainty. The more you utilize this process and your certainty state the more pronounced, resonant and vociferous your vibration of certainty will resound!

Spiritual Mind Treatment for Faith and Guidance During Challenging Times

I acknowledge that there is but one Presence and Power; one Omnipotent, all-providing Supply and I am intimately and irrevocably fused with this Source. We are ONE! The Divine Source is Love, Beauty, Peace, Harmony, Wisdom, and Prosperity and therefore so am I. I embrace the Truth that my Source and Supply is instant and immediate. I passionately hold close this Truth in my heart and soul, knowing that all is well for it cannot be another other way. If I am intimately and irrevocably merged with Source then it is impossible for me to have any wants, needs, or unfulfilled desires. I give thanks for this Truth and I allow for the physical expression of what I know to be true to be seen, heard, and experienced now.

And, as I acknowledge this to be the Truth of me, I welcome this as the truth for all who read or hear these words. We are connected at our core and what is True for me, must be True for you. Therefore, I give thanks that our desires for ease, financial well-being, comfort, health, peace, and love are fulfilled, now.

I acknowledge that while I have allowed distressing news, and economic reports to sway my belief in my unlimitedness, I am ready to return to faith. I know I am not alone in my diversion. I know that as I pray, there are many who suffer far greater diversions and disconnection from the Essence of WHO they are – as unlimited beings, full of pure potential and unstoppable power. I seek to know the heart of harmony that being blessedly connected with the Divine always provides. I find myself tranquil and comforted with the Spiritual Presence that is inside, outside, and everywhere I look. I pray for the same tranquility for my friends, family, community, and world.

I welcome the opportunity for growth through the challenges we face and I embrace with zest and enthusiasm my role! I am thrilled to have this opportunity to support a New World Order full of Peace, Acceptance, Love, Prosperity, and Enlightenment for all of God’s children – that’s every sentient being on this planet!

I recognize and give thanks for the friction and contrast as it comes forth. I realize that our differences, perception shifts, and perceived challenges are critical components to our evolution. I embrace the obstacles as a fun and adventurous opportunity to stretch myself, to show up with even greater intention, awareness, and conviction. I choose to SEE what’s possible and find creative solutions to every quandary. I claim my right as a Divine Creator and therefore I do not flinch at the sight of contrast! Instead I scoff at the notion that I am powerless! I know that, with my connection to Source, Father/Mother/God, all things are possible. And, when I try to take on the world alone, I stop, take a breath and hand all my worries, fears, doubts, and wrong-thinking over to Spirit. It’s God’s job, not mine, to handle those fears and doubts. I am relieved knowing this and take confident, inspired action now.

My compassionate heart flows effortlessly to myself and to others. I SEE the God in YOU and I SEE the God in me. I am reminded that everywhere I look there is the evidence of the Divine Presence. I embrace this awareness and rest on the assurance this brings. The Divine Presence responds faithfully and predictably to my primary thoughts. Therefore, I send forth a clear signal for PEACE and PROSPERITY NOW.

I am grateful that I cease believing in the illusion of Time. I am grateful that time has become to me what it is – nothing more than a way to discuss possibilities. What was possible before is possible now. What I see for the future I claim for my present. I allow time to fold towards me, allowing me to receive the avalanche of abundance that I had projected for my future – now. Time does not exist. Therefore, I am pleasantly energized by the complete fruition of my goals now. Yes, I accept that action is required and that building great things requires stepping stones and building blocks. And, I am grateful that the WAY is revealed and that way is prosperous, creatively resourceful, and delightfully brilliant now.

I seek ways to give back and to support others. I am joyfully delighted to be able to support the reckoning of oneness with all of my fellow conscious creators! And, as we focus on giving, we receive; as we focus on the ESSENCE of what we choose for ourselves by providing that vibrational ESSENCE now, we lift our lives up to the high road of abundance, harmony, grace, and peace. For this I am grateful and blessed.

May those who are struggling, remember their worth, now. May those who are separate from their Unlimited Power, find their way back. May those who need support, compassion, mercy, and a reminder find this path now, and courageously step-up to their inner knowing and calling. May those who need protection while they are remembering their Divinity be instantly protected and securely restored. Whatever their struggle, I pray that the strength and confidence be returned while they find comfort, passion, and resolve in the purposes of the struggle.

I acknowledge there are many times when we are unclear and confused about the path we walk and often the energy to continue eludes us. Never the less, I claim our energetic restoration now. I allow every breath I take to restore my faith, my conviction, my energetic well-being. I am filled with sustenance and I am fueled to achieve great things now. The energy, stamina, and vigor I require fills me like never before. I hold strong to this now and I give thanks. I am energy! I am a powerful creator!

I claim our return to wellness on all levels now. I give thanks for this Truth and I release it into the Law where it is made whole and manifests now.

How to reflect upon your situation and create your own Spiritual Mind Treatment:

1) The first step is to acknowledge the ONE PRESENCE and POWER (whatever you call it – God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Spirit, The Universe, etc.) And, acknowledge the its omnipotent omnipresence.

2) Next, claim your DIVINE RIGHT to ALL this Power and Presence. If GOD is LOVE, so are you. If GOD is PROSPERITY, so are you. Claim it. Own it. This is BEING unlimited and is essential to the creative process.

4) Finally, let it go. It is done, therefore, hand it over to your Higher Power and release it. Detach and prepare to receive. Watch for signals and guidance as you will be shown how to take action from here!

I hold the vision of YOU claiming the Divine Health, Wealth, and Harmony that is Already YOURS!
Please post your prayers and comments! I welcome them!

Dealing with Grief – Staying positive after a loss of a beloved pet

I believe and try to apply what you say. It just feels soo difficult right now that my sweet doggie passed away suddenly at only 4 years old. I’m trying to feel blessed by knowing her but what i really feel is why? why now when i expected to have so much more time with her can you help me with the grieving process? Thanks a lot, A.

My heart aches when I hear a friend grieving. No matter how much we know about ‘being intentional’ and the power of positive thinking, etc…. we are still HUMANS having an emotional experience!!! And, we are in physical form and have to stay that way when our beloved friends, family, and loving pets move on to the life beyond this third dimension. Now, having said this… I’m not a grief expert but I do understand the Universal Laws. And, the Universal Law in reference to energy is that it cannot be ever be destroyed.

“In physics, the law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in an isolated system remains constant. A consequence of this law is that energy cannot be created or destroyed.” – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservation_of_energy)

If we consider this law of physics then – then we have to admit being immortal. (Shh!!!! I know – that’s blasphemous! Never the less, all the religious texts in their purest form affirm it.)

If we are immortal, then there’s no such thing as ‘death’. This doesn’t mean that I don’t grieve the loss of a loved one – I do and imagine I always will. However, as a spiritual being seeking higher consciousness, enlightenment, and Truth – I must also seek out higher Truth as it relates to death. And, frankly, it’s a huge reef to realize that those I’ve ‘lost’ are not actually lost!!!

I’ve recorded a quick audio-clip with my view on working through grief while attempting to apply and align with the Law of Attraction. I hope you find it helpful:

“A human being is first and foremost a spirit associated with a physical body. — Understanding this idea is the single most important piece of information you will ever know, because it is the ultimate truth. You are an immortal, eternal spirit. Your self-awareness does not die upon termination of the body. This fact is obvious to all of us who have attained awareness of self, and it is a hope for those who are reaching for discovery of the true self. Knowledge of your immortal spiritual nature makes living life a lot easier, because it eliminates the fundamental source of stress: the idea of death.” – This I believe is a quote by Ken Maclean at www.kjmaclean.com
