I very rarely post multiple times a day, but today I’m going to make an exception.World Suffering

Not because I have something important to say, but because I have an important message you NEED to hear.

I’m a practitioner of the Science Of Mind.  This is a spiritual practice that focuses on how we use our mind, how we think and the specific Universal Laws associated with our thoughts.

The founder was Ernest Holmes and many successful people from all religions and walks of life attribute their wellbeing and abundance to his teachings.

I recently read an excerpt from one of his books that moved me so much that I HAD to share it with you.

The World Has Suffered Enough – Ernest Holmes

“The world is beginning to realize that it has learned all it should through suffering and pain. Surely there can be no Intelligence in the Universe that wishes man to be sick, suffer pain, be unhappy, and end in oblivion. Surely if God or Universal Intelligence is imbued with goodness, then It could not ordain that man should ultimately be other than a perfect expression of Life.

We must know definitely and consistently that the Universe is for us and not against us….We shall have to learn that evil is neither person, place, or thing of itself, but is an experience which we are allowed to have because of our divine individuality….If man takes his images of thought only from his previous experiences, then he continues in the bondage which those previous experiences create. If we talk about discord, we shall become more discordant. The more the world arms for war, the more certain it is that there will be war….Eventually, we shall understand that all human bondage is an invention of ignorance.” – Excerpted from The Essential Ernest Holmes, edited by Rev. Jesse Jennings.

I hope you’ll take some time today and deeply contemplate this message.  It just might change the way you use your mind!

We had another amazing “Beyond Limits” class last night!  This is a 10 week class that investigates how we think ourmental strength reality into existence.  The information we’re studying has been around for thousands of years, and more recently has been named “New Thought.”  If you’ve ever heard of, read or seen Michael Beckwith, John Randolph Price or Ernest Holmes, these are all “New Thought” leaders.

Well last nights class was focusing on ‘abundance’…great subject right?

We also discussed that a person must have a ‘mental equivalent’ of that they wish to manifest.  So, let me ask you….what does abundance mean and look like to you?

If you’re like most individuals words like, ‘freedom’, ‘money’, ‘happiness’, ‘health’, ‘safety’, ‘peace’ and ‘love’ come to mind, right?

But, if we must have a mental equivalent of what we want to create then what does ‘freedom’, ‘money’, ‘happiness’, ‘health’, ‘safety’, ‘peace’ and ‘love’ look like to you?  After describing that, ask the same question again and again and again until you have a crystal clear mental equivalent of how you see, feel, hear, smell and taste ‘abundance.’

You see, these words we use to describe ‘abundance’ sound good, but if you can’t create a mental equivalent (full sensory), it can be extremely difficult to manifest.

Important – What ever you desire to create you must a full sensory mental equivalent.

This is based on the fact that for every visible form, there is an invisible counterpart.  Everything in Nature tends to equalize itself, to keep its balance true. This is the reciprocal Universe.

We demonstrate the reciprocal nature of the Universe in the laws of attraction, giving and receiving, mental equivalents and being, doing, done by, and other similar principles.

However, if there is no room in which to hold the mental equivalent how can we expect to create what we desire?

What do I mean by “no room”?

Well, if you constantly have thoughts of lack, violence, scarcity, disease and your mind is filled with worry, fear, doubt, anger and sadness, how can there be any room for abundance, health, joy and peace?

You cannot hold two thoughts at the same time.

The question now is – what can you let go of to make room for the abundance you desire?  This is a tougher question then it appears. For so many of us our mental chatter is about WHO we are.  If we let this go…who will we be?

This is a frightening thought to the ego.  After all, you’ve survived just fine up to now, why upset the apple cart?

In order for you to create your personal success and abundance you must release those unsupportive thoughts that are taking up space.  Think of this a spring cleaning for the mind.

Go around from mental room to mental room taking inventory of your mental “stuff.”  Then ask, “Does this support me in living the life of my dreams?”  If not, get the vacuum, dust pan, carpet cleaner and go at it!  Take all the mind clutter and recycle and transform it into supportive and empowering thoughts and beliefs that will assist you in your journey to personal success.

There are a number of great “cleaning” tools that can help with this process.  One is affirmations.  I know that this is a subject like religion and politics to some. The bottom line is, if what you’re doing isn’t working….do ANYTHING else and affirmations are a great place to start.

They do take some focused concentration to master though.  You see affirmations are so much more then just repeating something over and over again…that you don’t believe is true.  Affirmations are affirming something that IS true…a declaration of fact. This is though part.

You need to feel connected with and part of the Universe….the Universe that has All.

In last weeks post I talked about “What is your good?” You can also think of this as “What makes you come alive?” There is at least ONE thing in this world that really, really, really gets you deep inside.  Just the simple thought of it creates a wonderful feeling inside you.  You know the one I mean right?  Yes!!!  That one!

When you use affirmations you must first tap into that energy of “what makes you come alive”, then when you are in that space, speak your affirmations while holding the mental equivalent.

The Universe responds to energy not words.  Words are for us, the Universe doesn’t have any ears…it is made up of pure energy.  So, when we release into the Universe the energy of abundance and health, the reciprocal Universe must balance this out…so we then manifest it in our lives.

I will say that, mental spring cleaning, affirmation, what is you good? … etc does take considerable mental strength and just like going to the gym, it takes practice and repetition to get good at it.

Think of it like this….you wouldn’t go to the gym once a month and expect results would you? So, how can you expect results by saying an affirmation for a day? You have to become an expert at it.

I read somewhere that to be classified as an “expert” you need over 10,000 hours in a specific field or area of interest.

We’re talking about your life here!   What could be more of interest to you then that?  10,000 hours is only a little over 3 years.  Hey…those 3 years are going to go by whether you become and expert of not, mine as well become an expert, and create an amazing life in the mean time :-)

Another great thing about affirmations is they are a doorway to your beliefs.  When you say an affirmation, pay attention to the echo that comes back.  This is head of a belief rearing its head.  For instance, you say an affirmation that “I am thin, fit and healthy.”  And you’re echo says’ “Yea right!  All you do is eat junk food…your just big boned….everyone in your family was large, it’s not my fault.” These are all tips of unsupportive icebergs.

Pay attention to them, write then down and then work with a coach to get the heart of the belief.  Sometimes just simply observing the echo and ask, “Is this really true?” the belief will evaporate.

I hope you got at least on nugget from this post today.  If you did…or if you didn’t I’d like to hear your thoughts in the comments below.

Oh yea…speaking of affirmations…I just released a new hypnotic affirmation audio “Program Your Mind for Money and Wealth” I know you’ll find it very helpful. Take look for yourself at Program Your Mind for Money and Wealth

Animation of the structure of a section of DNA...

The DNA of Prosperity  – Delight in the Nature of Abundance…it’s our natural state delivered by the Universe as Law. There are hundreds of old scrolls, tablets and documents that instruct us that when we ‘delight’ in the Law we will prosper.

During the past few months I’ve had numerous e-mails on the subject of prosperity, more then any other subject.  And given the perceived sate of the economy this doesn’t surprise me (note that I said “perceived” as opposed as “real”).  I’ve been asked for assistance in helping individuals demonstrate prosperity – again please note that I did not say “attract” or “create” I said demonstrate.  There is a huge energetic difference in these terms.

I usually begin where the seeds for scarcity are sown – in the unconsciousness – and then show the person how to break free of that trance. In the process, I’ve developed ten basic reasons why people are not acheiveiing their personal success and living with affluence.

  1. We still feel guilty about something from the past.
  2. We are not living in a state of forgiveness toward ourselves and others.
  3. We feel that the mother-father-parent does not approve of our work and lifestyle, and are carrying that projection of their disapproval in our energetic field.
  4. We have given ourselves a “Report Card” with an F, D, or C for life-at-the-present-time. We think of ourselves as a failure, or poor, or just average, and the Universe responds accordingly.
  5. We don’t love as much as we are capable of loving.
  6. We have not made the conscious decision to live in a state of all-sufficiency, have not chosen, declared, and decreed a life more abundant.
  7. We have not accepted the Truth that The Universe has already provided lavish abundance for us as a mighty Thought-form in the depths of our consciousness.
  8. We look to the world of effects for our prosperity, rather than to the Delightful Presence within living AS the reality of our being.
  9. We treat, pray, and affirm, trying to create abundance, to make something happen. It’ll never happen if we keep hammering away and remain attached to results, but it will when we let go and let Spirit complete the job.
  10. We forget the awesome power of sharing, not to please our Higher Self and have more abundance poured out for our use, but to please ourselves through the great law of cause and effect. It never fails. Through generosity we expand our consciousness, which allows more supply to become visible.

I’d like to take a momentum and discuss deeper this term ‘demonstrate’, instead of attract, create or develop.

Attract, create and develop all come with a presupposition that there is lack or something is missing.  Where as ‘demonstrate’ presupposes that what you are going to demonstrate is already there.

If you demonstrate, you have to have muscles and strength.  If you demonstrate health, you have to be healthy.  To demonstrate prosperity, you have to be prosperous.

So by using your mental strength and contemplate the number of ways to demonstrate abundance, your unconscious will automatically find ways to fill the requirements so that you can demonstrate abundance.  There is no lack in the process.

Do you get it!?  I hope so, ‘cause this is a powerful mind shift that can help remove effort and frustration when it comes to your personal success and personal development.

If you’d like some coaching around this subject request an Introductory Consultation.  Also, the e-book, “How to Develop the Mental Strength of a Warrior” goes over this as well.

Are you paying attention? Mental Strength

This is another great guest post from Kasia Rachfall from  Fresh Perspective Coaching

Many of us like to accomplish things in our life.  For some this may mean traveling to lots of places or writing the next bestselling novel.  For some this may mean finishing a marathon or an Ironman.  For others it may mean finding joy in a relationship or in one’s work.  Whatever accomplishment you want to achieve in your life…make sure you’re paying attention to what’s going on inside and out to know if you’re on the right track or not.

Why would you want to look inside?  What does it mean to look inside, anyway?  In his book The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot explores how our beliefs shape our reality.  When you believe in something you’re more likely to make it happen – whether it’s healing from a dis-ease or finding a new career. 

Beliefs cause us to think a certain way.  They cause us to have certain emotions and to behave in certain ways.  When our beliefs aren’t congruent with what we want in our lives, they can also cause us to miss opportunities that are standing right in front of us.  Sometimes the universe has to literally be sneaky to give us what we want.  And even then we may not be aware of what’s going on.

Which is why it’s important to notice what’s going on around outside us too.  We may meet people or pick up a random book that gives us exactly what we need to know,  and unless we put two and two together, we will completely miss the message.

It’s important to have this awareness and to let go of the limiting beliefs that can create such missed opportunities and stagnation.  When we look for ways to think differently and become empowered with tools like NLP that help us easily align our mindset to accomplish all our goals, we achieve those goals in record time.

I have a funny story about this concept that I’d like to share. When I was struggling to build my business I had lots of goals that I wanted to reach.  Of course, one of them was a certain level of income.  I thought I was doing all the right things and believing and thinking all the right things until I had a huge “aha” one day.  I realized that I was afraid of my new career becoming just another j.o.b. that I had left behind because I hadn’t liked the corporate world.  I didn’t want to become a robot who traded hours for dollars and was miserable sitting in an office all day long with other miserable employees.  No wonder I wasn’t making any money or attracting many clients! By thinking this way I was telling the universe that I didn’t want to work.  Now the universe, the wonderful consciousness that it is, was sending me abundance in other ways.  For example, in the span of 2 months I won 3 trips that totalled over $20,000 in value!  They were spectacular and luxurious trips to neat places and my family and I enjoyed ourselves very much.

So what was my learning? How did I figure this out and finally get my memo from the universe who wanted me to be successful so badly that it had to sneak me money through ballots and contests?

I released the limiting beliefs I had about my new career and life purpose, I aligned my thoughts, attitude, and actions to reflect all the goals I had, and I began to attract the perfect clients and abundance through my work, not through winning contests!

When you look at the areas of your life that are not the way you want them to be, make sure to look inside and outside yourself for the possible misalignments.  What do you believe and think about your ability to have that area of your life exactly the way you want? What’s going on in your life that is giving you clues and opportunities to change and create the perfect solution?  Then take the necessary action to make it happen.  Being, doing, and having the things you want is easy when you’re willing to do whatever it takes to get there.
