ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(18)

Creating the Prosperity Mindset
by Randy Gage


The note was scrawled across the back of a flyer for the chaplain program. It was written by a parishioner, right after a Sunday service I had given at my own church.


“I hadn’t realized until you pointed it out that it’s the rich people who are the spiritual ones,” he wrote. “I guess those slave holders were on the right track. The only thing wrong was the prosperity consciousness of those slaves!”


No doubt the writer was being quite sarcastic, and thought his comments would expose the absurdity of my teaching, and support his beliefs. Which it’s safe to assume, that it is somehow spiritual to be poor, and that rich people are exploiting the poor.


It’s fascinating that he would pick such an analogy, because I DO believe that in many cases, rich people are operating at a higher consciousness than poor people. That’s why they are rich! I also believe people who allow others to steal their freedom have serious issues of prosperity consciousness. Since he didn’t sign his note, he won’t discover that instead of seeing irony in his comments—I see an element of truth. Imagine the amazement and shock he might feel. Perhaps you are feeling the same way now.


The fact that rich people have amassed wealth indicates that they are living by at least some of the spiritual laws that govern prosperity. Of course, this does not mean that all rich people are spiritual and all poor people are not. Prosperity is a synergy of a number of factors, including a strong spiritual connection, optimum health, great relationships, rewarding vocation, and, yes, the material aspects.


So, rich people who are sick, bitter and lonely are certainly not prosperous. By the same token, however, if you are healthy, spiritually grounded, have a great marriage, but struggle to pay your credit cards each month—you are certainly not prosperous.


In his book James Allen relates how usual it is for people to say, “Many men are slaves because one is an oppressor; let us hate the oppressor.” He then goes on to note the increasing tendency of people to say, “One man is an oppressor because they are slaves; let us despise the slaves.”


The real truth is that both the slaves and the oppressor are co-creators in ignorance, lack, and limitation. While it seems that they are victimizing each other—in reality, they are each victimizing themselves.


Prosperity and human dignity are both based upon value received. An oppressor cannot sustain prosperity because he is exacting more than he returns, and will ultimately bankrupt his own consciousness. A slave gives not enough value to himself, and likewise ends up in a state of spiritual bankruptcy. As the Course in Miracles teaches, they are no victims, only volunteers.


A person will remain weak, dependent and miserable by refusing to raise his or her consciousness. A person can reject servitude, conquer limitations, and achieve greatness by raising his or her consciousness. To quote again from Allen’s book:


“A strong man cannot help a weaker unless that weaker is willing to be helped, and even then the weak man must be strong of himself; he must, by his own efforts, develop the strength which he admires in another. None but himself can alter his condition.”


It’s tough to develop the strength to be prosperous, if you’re being continually programmed that it’s spiritual to be poor. Especially if you’re not even aware you’re being programmed and it’s on a subconscious level.


To experience true spiritual prosperity, you have to be manifesting prosperity in ALL areas of your life. Yet if you’re doing ok in most areas, but you don’t have much money — it’s easy to fall into the trap our note writer did. You want to believe that somehow your reward is coming later, heaven perhaps, and that you will in some way be compensated for living your current life of limitation. After all, who among us wants to believe that we are suffering needlessly, or have riches at our fingertips, but refuse to partake in them?


Now to be fair to our letter writer—he certainly isn’t alone. This kind of thinking is quite pervasive today. So why would I write a book with a message, sure to threaten so many people? Because I fear what will happen to them when they are not threatened. I take the privilege and the responsibility of my platform seriously. In fact, I consider it sacred. I speak the messages I perceive people need to hear, not necessarily the ones they want to hear. It pains me to see anyone anywhere experiencing poverty and lack in their life.


When you think about it, the idea of me giving a Sunday church service is kind of funny. I was raised atheist, and entered a church only twice in my first 30 years on the planet. Once by accident, and once for a wedding. When I found my way to the church I would eventually call home, I was unemployed, had no car, was $55,000 in debt, and selling my furniture to eat. My health was shot; my relationships were an absolute mess; and I couldn’t have been more unhappy. By the time the furniture was gone, and I was eating macaroni and cheese three times a day, I discovered a very fascinating thing...


I came to understand that success and prosperity had almost nothing to do with opportunities, chance, luck—or even training, education, or skill. It had everything to do with consciousness, beliefs, and even subconscious programming that you aren’t aware of. Poverty is not an absence of money and things—it is a mindset. Prosperity is not an abundance of money and things—it’s also a mindset.


When I began studying the laws that govern prosperity, I embraced the principles out of desperation . . . I applied those principles, and you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who has had a greater degree of turnaround. I am truly blessed, manifesting abundance in all areas of my life, in ever increasing ways.


This only happened because I was willing to confront my weaknesses, discover and eliminate the insidious “lack” programming I had, and replace it with positive programming. To this day, I am ever vigilant, mindful of what I allow myself to watch and listen to, and the people I associate with.


I had to get out of my comfort zone, brave fears, and face up to my beliefs. Once you have done this, you feel called to help others challenge the self-limiting beliefs that are holding them back from their greatness. That was the motivation I felt that morning, as I spoke at church, and the motivation that has me writing this book for you now.


Money is part of the magic in life. It is an enabling force that allows you to be the real you. It allows you to go where you wish to go, do what you wish to do, and become who you desire to become. Money is God in action!


Poverty causes people to lie, cheat, steal, and even kill. There is NOTHING spiritual about poverty. Yes, poverty really does suck. Some of the people in my audiences are shocked when I make the statement that it is a sin to be poor. Of course, Charles Fillmore shocked the religious community of his day, when he made that proclamation almost 100 years ago. It still has the power to stun people today.


Yet if you learn the actual translation of sin, it means to “miss the mark.” The Course in Miracles defines sin as a lack of love. I believe both characterizations are accurate. When you are providing true value to the universe—you are rewarded with riches. That’s the way the universe works. All the time, with no exception.

When I speak to an audience, or write a book like this, I want people to understand a very simple, but very important thing. They can’t help anyone unless they have first helped themselves. Or as Reverend Ike would say, the best thing you can do for poor people is not be one of them!


It doesn’t serve God or you, if you are broke, sick, unhappy, or in dysfunctional relationships. You have to believe you are worthy of prosperity in ALL of its forms. Then as you walk the path of spiritual consciousness, you will find that you begin to manifest it more every day. And that is what drives me to do what I do. So if I shock you, offend you, or threaten you with what I write—please evaluate why that might be. And know that I am coming from a place of love, and wanting the highest good for you.


I want you to be healthy, happy and rich!

Fears: A Detour on the Road to Success
by Boris Vene


If you are like most people, you are often confronted with fears that hold you back - consciously or subconsciously. Although you weren’t born with them, you are under the strong influence of the environment that implanted them. You might even be tempted to think that worry and fear is the primary base from which your actions stem. Sales people know of this powerful influence. People buy truckloads of insurance in preparation for some disaster that “might” happen. “It is better to be safe than sorry.” Do you have an extra set of keys (or two) for your house or car? Do you buy food, drinks or even pills that will help you improve your complexion or lose unwanted weight?


Whether it is a fear of losing something good, or getting something bad, fear is a driving force that is always there ... New situations in life force you to confront a new set of fears. You may even comfort yourself by saying it isn’t so bad. Have you ever made a doctor’s appointment, a dentist appointment or a hairstyling appointment only to arrive in the respective waiting area with no pain or the best hair day you’ve had in a long time? Now you want to go home. Fear is a powerful motivator.


Some of the more common fears are:


1. Fear of the Unknown
2. Fear of Failure and Rejection
3. Fear of Loss (losing what you have)
4. Fear of Facing Reality
5. Fear of Disapproval


You have to deal with ALL of these fears if you want to succeed. You cannot deny them or banish them to your subconscious, as that will only add fuel to a fire that will probably and suddenly burst out beyond your control. Like fires, fears are easiest to squelch when they are still small. Confront your fears and banish them forever! Start with ...The Fear Of The Unknown.


There isn’t a person alive that isn’t apprehensive, nervous or even fearful of entering new territory, wandering into the great unknown. What will it hold? How will it change you? Will you be able to handle the situation or complete the task? Will you know what to do and have the ability to do it? Will you be laughed at? Will it be worth it?


One way of confronting the unknown is to recognize that without action you will never escape mediocrity. The primary difference between people who fulfill their dreams and those that don’t is action – the former move from words to action, the latter never get beyond the words.


Ask yourself: What could I lose if I begin to act? Answer frankly. Typical answers are time, pride and so on. You should note that these answers are merely superficial. What could I gain? An experience that will, without a doubt, make you richer (maybe financially) and one that will bring you closer, above all, to success. You shouldn’t forget that it is self-confidence, overcoming your fears and changing your habits or undesirable attributes (like transforming yourself from timid to outgoing) that bring you a step closer to attaining your desires.


I remember a case where a young entrepreneur was taking an exceptionally long time to decide whether to start a new business that excited him, or not, because his mind told him that he wouldn’t succeed. After a conversation we had, he decided to start the business because he felt this was his path. He didn’t succeed; in fact, the results were pretty awful at first.


I was surprised a year later when I received a kind letter from him thanking me for the time I had spent with him. He wrote that he has been a changed man since then and that he is enjoying what he is doing for the first time in his life. He wasn’t doing well, financially, in the beginning, but gradually he built a firm foundation and is now earning well.


“If I hadn’t made the choice and taken that first step,” he added, “I wouldn’t have known that work exists that can bring in both money and pleasure. My first financial failure was a small price to pay for such awareness. More importantly, it enabled me to identify the fear that had been present in all my business and personal decisions in the past. Today, I laugh at the limits I was living under then. Now, I’m happy to meet new challenges and I have been succeeding in everything I do lately.”


If making a decision appears too difficult, take a piece of paper, divide it in half and write out the pros and the cons. More often than not, the “against” side is filled with “circumstantial objections,” like “a lack of self-confidence,” or “I don’t have enough money or time.” The substance of these objections cannot compare to the reasons “for” doing something.


Most of your reasons for not doing something are probably based on weak excuses. If you are afraid of doing something, your mind will find a way to make sure that you don’t do it, will even stand in your way and prevent you from doing something that it perceives you do not want. Be sure to address all your fears first and then take that piece of paper in your hands once again.


Chase your fears away and consciously decide to take a chance in life. Trust me, it’s usually well worth the trouble! Of course, the decision (as always in life) is still yours.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(16)

Creating Wealth
by Karim Hajee

Ever wonder how some people have a lot of money and just keep making more and more money - while some people struggle to make ends meet - even though they keep doing everything they can to make more money? Or why some people always have the money to buy what they want while others continue to pile up their debts even though they have a decent job? I’m going to explain why this happens and how you can become one of those people who are always living life with a positive cash flow.


Positive Wealth Consciousness


Over the years - through research, interviews and teaching my Creating Power System I’ve learned that people who have a great deal of wealth and people who maintain a positive cash flow have developed a positive wealth consciousness. In short – they always have money because they always believe they will have money. As a result they continuously attract money and moneymaking opportunities - while at the same time they find ways to save money and make their money work for them. Now it wasn’t always this way. Not all of them had money to start with - in fact most people earned their money and continued to find ways to make more money.


I remember talking to a good friend, Ivan, who owns a chain of hotels across the United States and is now expanding into Canada and overseas. He explained he had come from an immigrant family; his father worked as an accountant and later opened a retail store while his mother put herself through school - eventually becoming a nurse. I’m not going to bore you with his entire life story. But my point is he didn’t have a family that gave him a million dollars to start his venture. Instead he started off working for his father, eventually took over the business, bought another - made it a success – sold it and bought another until he got his first hotel just outside Dallas.


I asked him: “Were you ever nervous? Did you ever think about failing? Did you ever have those what if thoughts?” He answered: “They entered my mind - but I dismissed them rather quickly - I just thought about making it happen and convinced myself that it would happen. After that I never doubted I would succeed - I just didn’t know how big this whole thing would get.” In short Ivan developed a positive wealth consciousness -without being aware of what he had technically done - but he had trained his mind and subconscious to focus only on creating wealth.


So What Is A Positive Wealth Consciousness?


This is the process of believing that you can and will make money. It involves believing that it is your right to make money and create wealth. It requires that you focus on all the good things that your wealth can do for you and those around you. It means understanding that if you have more wealth you will help more people. It means putting your ego aside - not desiring wealth so that you can show off and say: “Look at me, I’m rich.” Instead - it means saying: “Yes I have a lot of wealth and that allows me to take care of a lot of people - including my family and all those that I help when I spend my money.” Yes you will spend your money - let’s face it - the more you have the more you will spend. This is the basis of Creating a Wealth Consciousness. Because you believe that having money is not a good thing - then you will never have any money - no matter how hard you try. Once you get this new belief - that having money is a good thing - into your system then you can begin attracting Wealth.


In order to attract wealth you need to first look at where you are now and then create a realistic plan for the next 3 months, 6 months, year and five years. If you’re in debt and don’t have a job - aiming to have a million dollars in 6 months is not being very realistic. Instead your first priority should be to get a job and get out of debt. If you already have a job and you want to make more money - then give yourself some realistic targets for the next 3 months, 6 months, year and 5 years. Now I know some of you will say it’s difficult to make money - I don’t know what to do to make more money - I’m in debt and don’t know how to get out. For every problem there is a solution – otherwise we wouldn’t have problems. Focus on finding a solution. Train your mind to focus on the solution. Start sending the messages to your subconscious that you want a solution. Do this regularly and you’ll get answers. The money won’t fall from the sky but you will be guided to it.


How Do You Train Your Mind?


You first focus on what you want. Let’s say you want to find a job - you start telling yourself: “I know what to do to find a job. I’m doing the right things to find a job. I’ve got the right job.” Then start thinking of all the possible things you can do to get a job. I know you may say: “I’ve done all that - and still have nothing.” The only reason you don’t have anything is because you’re not looking in the right place. You’re not paying attention to the signs along the road. You may be dead set on getting a particular job and ignoring all kinds of other opportunities.


The same applies if you’re trying to make more money. You may be bent on making money a certain way - in the process you’re ignoring the other opportunities that are being presented - often dismissing them. I had a student who wanted to make more money. He thought the only way that he could make more money was by expanding his business. He did that - but didn’t make as much as he thought. Once he started working with the Creating Power System he started paying attention to the other opportunities. He ran into an old friend while he was car hunting and to cut a long story short – they decided to partner in some real estate ventures - and things took off. He still has his business - but the additional money he wanted to make - money that he thought he could only make from his business - came from a completely different source.


This only happened because he paid attention to the signs along the road. He was presented with a number of other opportunities before partnering with his friend – but they didn’t seem right to him. Eventually he made the right choice because he was calm, and believed that he would get the right opportunity at the right time. That’s the other ingredient needed. You have to be patient and trust that you will get what you need and want at the right time - but remember - you have to put that ego aside and go with what is best.


My friend Ivan, who owns the hotel chains, examined a number of business opportunities before buying his first hotel - including buying a 50-percent stake in a used car lot. The used car dealership is still successful - but it pales in comparison to where he is now. About the used car dealership he said: “At the time - it just didn’t feel right. I went through the books, knew it would be successful - but I just didn’t see myself doing that.” You have to go with what fits for you - just because it’s a good opportunity - doesn’t mean its right for you. Ivan passed on that deal and 2 months later he bought his first hotel. That was in 1993. But he was willing to wait for what he thought felt right.


What You Can Do To Attract Wealth


There are a number of things you can do to attract wealth, no matter what your situation. You simply have to get your mind to work for you and not against you. Here’s a little exercise you can do. Get a notepad and a pen. Now start thinking about making money or improving your finances. Write down all the thoughts that come to mind when you think about improving your finances or creating wealth. Be honest - only you will see this list. Keep going until you feel you’ve had enough. Keep adding to that list over the course of the day. Then when you feel you’ve got enough - take a look at what you wrote. Underline the thoughts that are positive and circle the thoughts that are negative. How many are negative? Any negative thought you have about money or improving your finances is tied to a belief that you have about money and only works against you. If you think it’s difficult to make more money - you’ll only have difficulties when it comes to making money. Why? Because your subconscious mind is only going to create your reality based on your beliefs. It doesn’t care if these beliefs are good or bad for you. It simply acts on your instructions - and those instructions are your thoughts and beliefs. So change your thoughts and you change your beliefs. Change your beliefs and you change your life.

The Unspoken Secret to Achieving Big Goals
by Joe Vitale


Years ago I attended networking meetings. These were usually breakfast or lunch business meetings where people exchanged business cards and tried to help each other get new clients.


I spoke at many of these events. What I quickly noticed is that the same people seemed to be at the same meetings. One observant friend said, “It’s the same people — and they’re all starving!”


— That’s when I first learned about the concept of levels. That is, people tend to stay on the same level of business or social status. When they meet friends, it’s usually in their circle of activity, whether church, work, school, or some club. As a result, they rarely get out of the level they are on.


That’s not bad. You can stay on the level you are at and do well. But if you want more, or if you find yourself starving on the level you’re at, you’ll need to go up a level or two. When I was speaking at these networking events, I was a notch above everyone in the room. This is not an ego thing. It’s a social perception. I was seen as being at a slightly higher level than the audience simply by nature of being the speaker. I was the authority figure. As the higher teacher, I was elevated a slight degree on their level.


But that’s not good enough. If you want to achieve big dreams in business, you need to step out of your circle or network of peers and associates. You need to go to a group with wider, stronger, richer connections. You need to go up a level.


How do you do that? In my case, my books brought me to the attention of other circles of people, and higher levels of networks.


For example, when I wrote for the American Marketing Association back in 1995, I was immediately put in a new level. I was now the author of an important book for a prestigious organization. This caused new people to contact me. Each of these people had their own network of people. More often than not, these networks were at a higher level than anything I had ever touched before.


If you want to succeed in phenomenal ways today, you need to go up a level or two on the status scale of networks. The good news is email makes this a snap to begin. Anyone alive can be reached through email with some persistence and cleverness.

People write me all the time for favors. I’m now perceived as an expert, an authority, and an Internet marketing pioneer. They want to associate their name or product with me. I love to help people, so I usually at least give people a chance. But I never endorse anything without seeing, using and loving what they have. This is important for me to maintain my level.


Keep in mind that going up a level is different than thinking out of the box. You can be creative and still stay on your current level. Brainstorming with your neighbor is most likely different than brainstorming with, say, ABC, the flamboyant owner of a company.


The point is this: To achieve goals you’ve never achieved before, you may need to rise in levels and participate with new people on a new playing field. So the lesson today is to consider your current level, consider your goals, and consider what people outside of your network can help you achieve them. You may have to step out of your level (and comfort zone) to do it, but the step is well worth taking.


It would take an entire book to fully explain the concept of levels. I don’t have that space here. But before I end this short article, let me offer a handful of tips for going to a new level:

1. Write something of value new levels will admire. This doesn’t have to be a book. This very article may introduce me to new levels. One of the main reasons my name is known to a vast majority of people online is due to the hundreds of articles I’ve written and distributed over the last ten years. You can write articles, too.

2. Apply for membership in a prestigious organization. When I joined the Society for American Magicians, a very old club for professional magicians, I elevated my position among magicians. Joining the right country club or business group can do the same thing.

3. Create or join a master mind group. Napoleon Hill strongly urged people to form master minds. The trick to making them work is to be among people who are already successful in the areas you want to succeed in. Their presence will help elevate you.

4. Write to people in higher networks. When I was first starting out as a writer, people way above me helped me. I simply wrote to them. They sensed my sincerity and offered guidance. Today I do the same for others.

5. Speak at associations or gatherings of people in higher levels. You’ll need to have something unique to offer, but if you can deliver what these levels want, you’ll be welcomed into their fold.


Again, there is nothing wrong with the level you’re on. You don’t want to forget your friends or burn your bridges. I’m simply suggesting that if you have giant goals and big dreams, it may be time to take the elevator up a floor or two.

The Law of Cause and Effect
by Tom Payne


The most profound of all the Universal Laws is the Law of Cause and Effect. We all know it, or know of it, but may have discarded the principle as Biblical or old fashioned. But yet it dramatically affects our every waking-moment!


The Law of Cause and Effect states that; ’for every current effect in your life, there has been a specific cause. Every thought and every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. What we sow is what we reap.’


The Law of Cause and Effect is an absolute, ironclad law of the universe. Everything happens for a reason, through and by immutable law; whether we know, understand or even accept the law. There are no accidents, no good luck and no bad luck. We live in a universe governed by rigid, uncompromising laws. You can’t change it this law, cheat it or deceive it. It will operate regardless of your attitude to it. Comply by the law and you’ll find success and happiness; defy or ignore it and you won’t! It’s that profound, and yet that simple.


Jesus, the Buddha, Mohamed, and all the other great philosophers taught the law. It’s throughout the Bible, it’s taught in the Bhagavad-Gita and the ancient scriptures every culture. The law applies in all three areas of your life; your physical world, your mental world and your spiritual world.


For every action there is an appropriate re-action! If you slap your hand against a table, the table reacts with a slap against your hand. If you plant wheat, the ground responds by giving you wheat back, but if you plant weeds you also get more weeds in return. In a similar way, if you abuse or misuse another human-being, if you steal and cheat your way through life, if you ignore the starving millions, the law of Cause and Effect guarantees a reaction sometime in this life or the next. Someone will abuse or misuse you, or steal from you, or you’ll go hungry.


The law demonstrates itself in your life every day, whether you realize it or not. What you put out comes back to you, and it doesn’t just come back in the same volume. What you put out comes back to you multiplied; good or bad! Plant a handful of corn seeds, and you’ll gather a truckload of corn. Even a thistle has over a million seeds in its flowering head, ready to multiply and grow. Your life is the same.


There are specific causes for success. There are specific causes for failure. There are specific causes for health. There are specific causes for illness. There are specific causes for happiness. There are specific causes for unhappiness.


To understand how the Law of Cause and Effect has affected your life, thus far, you need to honestly analyze and recognize what from the past has created your present situation. Having done that, if you want more of the effect you must increase the cause. If you want to change the effect, then you must change the cause. Whatever you’re reaping today, agreeable or otherwise, is the direct and irrefutable result of what you sowed yesterday, or sometime in the past.


And the good news is that you have complete control over your future, because what you sow today, you will reap in the future. If you wish to reap a specific harvest or result in any area of your life in the future, you must plant the appropriate seeds today. Your thoughts and actions are the cause, and your life’s circumstances are the effect. What you think today literally creates your reality tomorrow; no ifs, no buts, no exceptions.


“As you think, so you become” is as true today as it was in ancient times. The universal law of Cause and Effect will not, and cannot be deviated from. It rigorously operates whether you accept it or not. Everything in your life is the direct result of the way you think. If you change the quality of your thinking the quality of your life will change as surely as night follows day. Changes in your outer experience will directly follow changes in your inner experience. That’s the law!


The only way you can prove the principle to be accurate is by personal application. By changing your internal processes, changes in your outer conditions can, and do happen surprisingly quickly. There’s nothing in your life, no health problem, no relationship problem and no financial problem that you can’t permanently change with the application of this law!


Sow a thought and reap an act. Sow an act and reap a habit. Sow a habit and reap a character. Sow a character and reap a destiny! Even something that you neglect, avoid, or procrastinate doing has an effect. Doing nothing is a cause in itself that has an effect; the consequences of which are inescapable.


It’s not the theory of cause and effect, it the Law of Cause and Effect. By understanding it and applying it you can immediately change your life for the better.

Manifesting Success With Consciousness
by Remez Sasson


For a long time you have longed to own a big, shiny, beautiful red car. Now it is parked in front of your house. It has a lot of space inside, it is comfortable, and it has many gadgets. You immensely enjoy and love driving it. Do you notice the special smell that is inside it, which is unique to new cars? Do you feel the joy that rises in you, while watching the admiring faces of your friends and neighbors?


How do you feel now, after reading the above description? Pay attention to this feeling. For a few seconds you probably felt great, then your mind started to react, and said,
"Yes, I like the thought, but these things never happen in real life. It is just a daydream". Now all the magic is gone. Your mind spoiled the magic feeling and the dream. You can let your daydreams and fantasies go on without destroying them. Do not comment negatively about them or throw them away as useless and groundless. When ending a daydream, move away to other thoughts, without criticism or comments. Must you say some negative words about your daydreams and show your disbelief in their being realized? Go on with your life as it is, but when you daydream or fantasize, do not destroy the dream by denying it the possibility of materializing.


Do not worry that believing in your dreams will turn you into an unpractical, dreamy sort of person. Let them motivate and inspire you, and you will become a more practical and successful person.


How did you feel when you received the key to your new apartment or the key to your new car? How did you feel when you were at the airport, going on your long coveted vacation? What kind of feeling did you experience when you got a promotion at your job or when you succeeded in a project? How did you feel when you recuperated from an illness? Try to recapture the feelings and relive the happy moments, because there is great power in them.


The feelings that accompany success are very important. Remember and relive the feelings that accompanied your past successes, because they are the magic of the future. If evoked intentionally and consciously, they can cause the materialization of your dreams.


Rehearsing in your mind the feelings and emotions that accompany success, move invisible forces to create visible success in your life. These happy and success feelings generate pressure on the mental and astral worlds, causing them to bring the feelings into manifestation. Any thought associated with these feelings is moved into materialization.


Whenever we experience success, we enjoy a great exhilarating feeling. By capturing and reliving this feeling you can turn it into the seed of a new success. If you think about something that you really want to realize, and at the same time you consciously generate this feeling of success in your consciousness, and stay with it, you can achieve wonders. This is the magic wand with which you can do magic and wonders.


The Right Attitude Toward Success


If you examine your ambitions, desires and goals in a very sincere way, you may discover to your amazement that you have some fears of realizing them. You want something, but yet you are afraid to have it. You may wish for a different kind of life, but in your subconscious mind you fear the change. You may desire to get married, but you are afraid of marriage. You want to change your job, but you are afraid to make the change. This is because the familiar gives security. You can find many examples like these.


When you have a goal, and at the same time you experience doubts and fears, you are actually driving away the materialization of your dreams. It is like sailing against the wind and the currents; you are pushed back all the time. These fears hide at the back of the mind and you may not be conscious of them. Analyzing any desire you have, and trying to find out if there is any resistance to bringing it about, will bring the fears into the open, and enable you to throw away your fears and inner brakes.


Most people look at the world around them as something real and solid. Their minds are chained to what they see around; their thoughts reflect their life, circumstances and events. Rarely will someone disregard his surroundings and circumstances and create in his mind a different situation. Surroundings and environment influence people’s life, and they regard them as something they can do nothing about. When you become able to see in your mind a different kind of life, you stop being enslaved by circumstances and start creating your own life.


Nobody becomes impractical, indifferent or weak, if he holds in his mind thoughts and images that are different and unrelated to his present life situation. It is possible to handle the affairs of life in the best way, and at the same time visualize and expect a different kind of reality. Use your imagination to see and feel in your mind a different situation or environment, and watch what happens.


If you go on thinking the same thought it will materialize, if your mind is not opposing and resisting it with negative thoughts, fears, worries and doubts. Sometimes the materialization of your thought or desire may be delayed due to the fact that you are not yet ready for it. Maybe you need some more knowledge, training, or a new skill before you get what you want. Sometimes things happen suddenly in an unusual way, but most often they come in a natural, gradual manner.


Consciousness and Success


Your mind and consciousness are the creators of your life. The more conscious you are of yourself, the stronger you become. I do not mean being conscious of your body, ego or who you are as a person. I mean conscious of being conscious, of the feeling of existence, the feeling of being alive, not from the point of view of the physical body. It is the inner feeling and sensation that you exist as a spiritual entity. It is the awareness of your inner essence, as something beyond the body and the ego.


Consciousness is your essence. Without it you are not. It gives your personality and body the power to function. Because of it, you can walk, eat, work, study, talk and understand. It is this something that makes you feel alive. It is intangible, yet very real. It is your awareness of life, of being alive and existing.


When you focus your consciousness on success, and fill it with the feeling of success, things start happening. When the certainty of success is saturated into the consciousness, you have a great power in your hands. Success consciousness means that you are certain of your success without doubts.


Do you want a new job? Evoke feelings of certainty without doubts that you have already got it. Do you desire a wife, a husband, a vacation, promotion, a new car, or money? Do not entertain any doubts. Your consciousness should be focused and assured of success.


How can you attain success if your consciousness is focused on failure and doubts? Become aware of your consciousness, of the feeling that you are, focus on it, and at the same time think of success and you have a mighty power at your disposal.


Instructions on the Use of Feelings and Consciousness for Success


Whatever it is that you desire to bring about, try to feel as if it has already happened. Re-live the happiness you experienced when you realized ambitions in the past, and transfer this happiness and the feeling of achievement into the present moment, and your success is assured. Feelings are very important for success. They are the current of power that brings success. They have to be living, strong, real and sincere feelings, in order to bring results. Feelings add fire and energy to a thought and make it strong. They are like the electric current, which makes instruments work.


Success consciousness is a state of inner certainty, even if your current reality is far from what you want it to be. It does not cost you money to experience it. Do not let doubts and contrary thoughts and feelings enter your mind, and you are on the way to success in what you do.


Evoke the certain feeling of success. Pour fuel into this feeling, and always keep it alive. Only by trying you will understand what I really mean. It is a state of consciousness, intentionally invoked, even though the outer circumstances are to the contrary.


Consciousness has the power to create. What is in the consciousness comes out in the end. There is nothing supernatural here, this is the way nature works. It may take some time until Consciousness manifests your ambition and desire in the outer world. It should be saturated with the utter certainty of success, not with just a faint belief. There should be complete lack of doubts, and only great certainty. Under these circumstances magic is released into the air.


You may look at this process as if it is a game. Put aside your doubts for a while. Treat these inner actions in a spirit of a game, fun and challenge. This is a serious subject, but by having fun with it, you reduce your tension, and are enabled to put forth more energy in a positive manner. Enjoy this process, and you will be surprised at the outcome. It is quite possible to put the focus on feelings and not only on thoughts. Feelings, if strong enough, cause things to happen, even if the related thought is only in the background.


If the feelings and emotions are strong, and connected to an event or an object, this event or object becomes a fact. Those who have difficulty in visualizing pictures will certainly appreciate this approach.


Think about your life, and you will find out that there were times that you had a certainty about something, without really trying intentionally to bring it about, and that thing happened. It might have been something positive and good or something else that was to your detriment. If you accept and follow what you have read here, you will be able to use this ability consciously.


What you have read so far is actually about the power of creative visualization and thinking, but focusing more on feelings and consciousness, rather than on images and thoughts. Think about what you have read, and try to put it into practice. Let abundance and success enter your life.

Acting in A Certain Way
by Wallace D. Wattles


Thought is the creative power or the impelling force which causes the creative power to act.


Thinking in a certain way will bring riches to you, but you must not rely upon thought alone, paying no attention to personal action. That is the rock upon which many otherwise scientific thinkers meet shipwreck — the failure to connect thought with personal action.


We have not yet reached the stage of development, even supposing such a stage to be possible, in which a person can create directly from formless substance without nature’s processes or the work of human hands. A person must not only think, but his personal action must supplement his thought.


Your thought makes all things, animate and inanimate, work to bring you what you want, but your personal activity must be such that you can rightly receive what you want when it reaches you. You are not to take it as charity, nor to steal it. You must give every man more in use value than he gives you in cash value.


The scientific use of thought consists in forming a clear and distinct mental image of what you want, in holding fast to your purpose to get what you want, and in realizing with grateful faith that you do get what you want.


Do not try to “project” your thought in any mysterious or occult way, with the idea of having it go out and do things for you. That is wasted effort and will weaken your power to think with sanity.


Your faith and purpose positively impress your vision upon formless substance, which has the same desire for more life that you have, and this vision, received from you, sets all the creative forces at work in and through their regular channels of action, but directed toward you.


It is not your part to guide or supervise the creative process. All you have to do with that is to retain your vision, stick to your purpose, and maintain your faith and gratitude. But you must act in a certain way, so that you can appropriate what is yours when it comes to you and so that you can meet the things you have in your picture and put them in their proper places as they arrive.


You can really see the truth of this. When things reach you, they will be in the hands of others, who will ask an equivalent for them. And you can only get what is yours by giving the other person what is rightfully his.


Your pocketbook is not going to be transformed into a Fortunata’s purse, which shall be always full of money without effort on your part.


This is the crucial point in the science of getting rich — right here, where thought and personal action must be combined. There are very many people who, consciously or unconsciously, set the creative forces in action by the strength and persistence of their desires, but who remain poor because they do not provide for the reception of the thing they want when it comes.


By thought, the thing you want is brought to you. By action, you receive it. Whatever your action is to be, it is evident that you must act NOW. You cannot act in the past, and it is essential to the clearness of your mental vision that you dismiss the past from your mind. You cannot act in the future, for the future is not here yet. And you cannot tell how you will want to act in any future contingency until that contingency has arrived.


Because you are not in the right business or the right environment now, do not think that you must postpone action until you get into the right business or environment. And do not spend time in the present taking thought as to the best course in possible future emergencies; have faith in your ability to meet any emergency when it arrives.


If you act in the present with your mind on the future, your present action will be with a divided mind, and will not be effective. Put your whole mind into present action.


Do not give your creative impulse to original substance, and then sit down and wait for results. If you do, you will never get them. Act now. There is never any time but now, and there never will be any time but now. If you are ever to begin to make ready for the reception of what you want, you must begin NOW. And your action, whatever it is, must most likely be in your present business or employment, and must be upon the persons and things in your present environment.


You cannot act where you are not, you cannot act where you have been, and you cannot act where you are going to be. You can act only where you are.


Do not bother as to whether yesterday’s work was well done or ill done; do today’s work well. Do not try to do tomorrow’s work now; there will be plenty of time to do that when you get to it. Do not try, by occult or mystical means, to act on people or things that are out of your reach. Do not wait for a change of environment, before you act; get a change of environment by action.


You can so act upon the environment in which you are now, as to cause yourself to be transferred to a better environment.

Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with all your mind.


Do not spend any time in day dreaming or castle building; hold to the one vision of what you want, and act NOW.


Do not cast about, seeking some new thing to do or some strange, unusual, or remarkable action to perform as a first step toward getting rich. It is probable that your actions, at least for some time to come, will be the same ones you have been performing for some time past, but you are to begin now to perform these actions in the certain way, which will surely make you rich.


If you are engaged in some business, and feel that it is not the right one for you, do not wait until you get into the right business before you begin to act.


Hold the vision of yourself in the right business, with the purpose to get into it and the faith that you will get into it and are getting into it, but ACT in your present business. Use your present business as the means of getting a better one, and use your present environment as the means of getting into a better one. Your vision of the right business, if held with faith and purpose, will cause the supreme power to move the right business towards you. And your action, if performed in the certain way, will cause you to move towards the business.


If you are an employee or wage earner and feel that you must change places in order to get what you want, do not “project” your thought into space and rely upon it to get you another job. It will probably fail to do so.


Hold the vision of yourself in the job you want while you ACT with faith and purpose on the job you have, and you will certainly get the job you want. Your vision and faith will set the creative force in motion to bring it toward you, and your action will cause the forces in your own environment to move you toward the place you want.

The 8 Myths About Creating Wealth
by Nikola Grubisa


You have probably read or heard about various myths surrounding wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest for financial independence. Here are the most common and most destructive:


Myth No. 1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work
If this were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this isn’t true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle-class.
If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day’s work in your youth, you probably learned that money wasn’t a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who work “just” for the money often have debts because they comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things they lack when working.


Myth No. 2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn’t work and you shouldn’t ask for money for doing something that is enjoyable.
Check this with millionaires. They all have so much money that they don’t need to work anymore. Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge, satisfaction, fullness of life, activity, fun... and all are connected to a love for their work. If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do something else that would make them much happier and that enables them to realize their dreams.
In fact, if you don’t enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it! However, just because you enjoy your work doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get paid for it - in fact, that is the ultimate goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so it never feels like you are at work!


Myth No. 3: You need to be in the right line of business to amass wealth
Do you think so? This must mean that all the people who are involved in the same business are millionaires. Of course, this isn’t true. In each business there are winners and losers; winners abound, even in businesses that consist of distasteful (to most) or “impossible” work like sweeping the streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory, pumping gas, selling newspapers, etc. On the other hand, there are just as many “losers” in businesses like selling real estate, management or being a stockbroker.


Myth No. 4: You need the right education to make a fortune
Are the most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all! In this case, university professors would be the wealthiest people on earth. Ask them about their salaries, if you get the opportunity. The truth is vastly different - the wealthiest people are those who can convert their knowledge (or education) into money, in the best possible way.
They can be highly educated people (like inventors, scientists, etc.) or almost ignorant.
Being formally uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job or the inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a person to success - they can easily be experts without having a formal education.


Myth No. 5: It used to be easier
Statistics show an increase in the number of millionaires in the world every year. Talking about the “good old times” only offers comfort and a convenient excuse. If you look around, you’ll see there are people who behaved the same way in the “good old times” as they do now, yet their success has been recent. With technology and progress come new ideas, desires and needs and there are more business opportunities appearing daily to serve them.


Myth No. 6: I’m too old (young)
If you research the life stories of some of the most successful people, you’ll see that this isn’t true at all. Some became wealthy early in their lives (perhaps from the stock market), while others found their fortune in their old age. Ray Kroc, was more than fifty years old when he bought and made the first McDonald’s.


Myth No. 7: I don’t have enough money to start. You have to spend money to make money.
This is no different from any other excuse or “myth.” Like the others, it’s obvious this one isn’t true either. Many have made their fortunes starting from scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their garage and yet they developed business empires that are worth billions of dollars today. The other elements of success are far more important than having seed money to start a business. Yes, often money helps and it certainly doesn’t hurt. Like everything else discussed in other myths: it probably helps, but it is not always necessary.


Myth No. 8: I’ll begin when I know everything
Do you believe that you will know everything someday? Or even that you’ll know enough to ever be “really prepared now?” The more you learn, the more you see what you still need to learn. Success and obtaining wealth is a dynamic process. Even if you “could” come out of the gate knowing everything there is to know, some of those elements will change immediately and many will change rapidly. If you don’t decide now, nothing will happen. Live and learn.


Some millionaires have even allowed themselves to go bankrupt and then (even faster) recreated their wealth, sometimes even greater than before. Money itself isn’t the obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy.


Exercise “taking action” as much as you can. Make your workplace better or more efficient. After all, even if someone else signs your paycheck, you really work for you. Even if you are an employee in a large corporation - it isn’t your corporation - but it is the only corporation through which you can prove what you are capable of right now.


All of us have what it takes to become a millionaire! Born winners, yet few of us know how to take advantage of and cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our own mind! No one can ever grant you greater potential than your heart already holds…you need only discover its contents to find the one true path to your success in life. Born with the seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always come from the inside! You will discover a new, deep well of fortune – yourself!

The New Way to Achieve All Your Dreams
by Stuart Lichtman


Name something you want. It can be a weight-loss goal, a money goal, a sales quota, a new house, a relationship, etc. It’s entirely up to you.


Since this lesson is about money, think about your money goals. How much more money are your seeking, anyway? A hundred dollars? Thousands? A million?


Now let me ask you a blunt question: Why don’t you have it yet? Why don’t you have the thinner body, or more money, or whatever it is you said you wanted? Well?


Now let me tell you something shocking: The fault isn’t with the economy, your parents, your spouse, your neighbors, your mayor, the president or anyone or anything outside of you. There is only one answer to my question of, “Why don’t you have it yet?” And I’ll tell you what it is in a minute.


Have you ever wondered why so many people have so much trouble getting what they truly want? Have you considered that there could be an easier way though life? Have you ever felt that life was just too much of a struggle? Most of us have, at one time or another, just felt that life was a royal pain. But the liberating truth is this - life doesn’t have to be that way.


What’s the secret to making life a joy? What’s the secret to creating more money now?
And what’s the answer to why you haven’t achieved your goals yet?


It’s in your own mind. No, not in your thoughts. Not in your conscious mind. The roadblock is deeper. It’s where you rarely look. It’s in your unconscious. In short, if there is something you are trying to achieve - you name it - and you aren’t achieving it, chances are your unconscious holds some contradictory intentions for you. Said another way, you want something and it doesn’t.


If you are typical, you are constantly giving yourself contradictory instructions - like “I want to lose weight” and “I want that luscious piece of pie.” Notice anything odd about them?


Those statements are going in different directions. After years of such frustrating and contradictory messages, your unconscious gives up and starts to disregard what you consciously want.


In other words, you canceled out your own request. You said, “I want money,” but right after that you said (or thought), “I don’t deserve it” or “Money never comes to me” or some other similar limiting belief. As a result, you usually didn’t get what you said you wanted!


But I have good news for you. All that is about to end.


An Introduction To Cybernetic Transposition


I define “Cybernetic Transposition” as: Putting yourself consciously in charge by creating effective communication between your conscious and unconscious minds, by consciously transposing successes from any part of your life into other ones where you consciously want to produce success, resolving self-defeating unconscious habit patterns into ones that support you and by creating effective conscious communication with the part of your that knows what’s right for you.


Where did I get the two words that make up the term?


Cybernetics is a term created by the incredibly brilliant Norbert Wiener who developed the discipline and who I used to see wandering the halls of MIT. Cybernetics derives from the Greek word for “steersman” or the person in control.


In a very real sense, our unconscious mind acts as our massively powerful, massively parallel computer comprised of about 100 billion tiny computers called neurons. Usually, our conscious minds are pretty much irrelevant to the functioning of our unconscious.


I’ll be teaching you to change that, to bring your conscious mind into the loop so it, in a sense, becomes the steersman.


So the first part of the definition is helping people to be more human rather than acting like machines that operate almost totally unconsciously, out of conscious control.


Transposition is defined as the process of interchanging. In our case, we are taking a memory of success in one aspect of life or in the same aspect at a different time in life and transposing it to create success in a different aspect and/or time.


Now that you have been introduced to the name of the process, let’s move on to discovering how to use it to manifest your highest dreams.


Ready?


Three Steps To More Cash


You’re about to learn how a tried and tested three step process can transform your world and bring you all the riches you’ve ever imagined. I’ve proven this method will work by testing it on 50,000 people. Now you’re going to prove it will work for you.


First, let me introduce you to the basic three steps:


1. Create a Target that defines what you want, one that is clearly understood by all aspects of your un-conscious mind.
Think of the bull’s eye of an archery target with its concentric circles enclosing a central red circle. Your unconscious mind needs something as clear as that circle, a target that indicates exactly what you want.


2. Prioritize your Target: Flag it so that you will remain unconsciously focused on it while you get on with your normal activities.
Imagine large crowds of people, all dressed alike in gray. Now picture one of them holding up your highly graphic bulls’ eye target with the bright red center. Chances are, the target is what will catch your eye. That’s what happens in your unconscious mind when you have appropriately prioritized your target.


3. Resolve any self-defeating un-conscious habit patterns that can prevent you from achieving your target.
Your unconscious habits govern what you normally do in a situation. The most efficient way to go through life is to do a lot of things on automatic - except when those automatic habit patterns get in the way. In other words, most people have unconscious mechanisms that sabotage their desire to hit the target. When you clear those, you are free to hit the mark.


One Last Thing


You don’t have to believe this is going to work. You probably have your doubts. You probably want to raise a ton of money fast but are highly suspicious that this method will work for you. Well, I’ve taught my seminar to 50,000 people. Even the ones who didn’t believe this would work still got results.


The truth is this:
1. If you have a modest goal or target, you can use the Basic three steps we’ve been talking about to achieve it.
2. If you have what feels like an “Impossible” desire, you can use the Super Achievement process to achieve it.


Either way, your results are just waiting for you!

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(9)

A Millionaire’s Secret
by Allen Says


Washington DC was nasty as could be. As I sat on the bench waiting for my bus to arrive I couldn’t wait to get back to the backwoods of Louisiana. I had almost sat in a pool of blood that was on the far end of the bench and I was ready to go. I truly hope people coming to visit our country don’t make DC one of their stops.


Anyway, before my bus arrived I was approached by a nicely dressed elderly gentleman in need of directions. I told him I had no idea what he was looking for as I too was just passing through. To this day I’m not sure why, but we started talking as if we had known each other for years.


We talked about life, people and eventually the conversation turned to business. It was here that the gentlemen saw something in me, I suppose, that made him feel like sharing what he said was the greatest secret ever told. He said everyone had heard it but almost no one paid any attention to it, even though it was the one thing that could bestow a fortune upon any man or woman who used it.


My ears where definitely starting to perk up. Something about his tone told me this man knew from whereof he spoke. And I wanted to know what the secret was with a passion. He must have sensed my anxiousness because at that very moment he gave me a warning that was almost a scolding.


I’ll try to recount here as best I can the rest of our conversation...


Man: “Do not make the mistake of shrugging off what I am about to tell you because you have heard it before. No doubt you have heard it already from at least one person in your life. You may have even heard it many times. Do you have any aversion to religion Mr. Says?”
Me: “No I don’t. I don’t believe many preachers know what they are talking about or even what they are trying to teach, but I do know the Bible has a lot of great knowledge in it.”
Man: “Good. I would not want you to discount what I am about to tell you because it does come directly from the Bible. But its applications reach far beyond what most people can conceive of. It will take thought, intense pondering on your part, to begin to get some inkling of its power.”
“This simple secret, when applied to business, will draw money to you as easily as water runs down a mountain. Even a fool can apply it and prosper. When applied to relationships, it will create more friends than you can handle” (laughing heartily)
Me: “What is it, I’m dying to know now?”
Man: “Patience Mr. Says, Patience. I will not give it to you as it has always been repeated by fools who have no respect or knowledge of what it even means. No. I will give it to you another way. What type of business are you interested in?”
Me: “Well, I’m dabbling in Mail Order right now. I would like to place ads and sell books.”
Man: “Fine. Fine. Mail Order it is. Let me tell you how to create a fortune in this Mail Order. All you have to do is create the product you want to buy”
Me: “I don’t understand”
Man: “You will”
“You see, you are your market. Whatever you want, there are millions of other people
wanting the same thing. That elusive product you are looking for is the product millions
of others are also looking for right now.”
“All you have to do is create the product you want to buy, the product you yourself have been looking for. Once you have this product, what would you want the sales message to say so that you know this is the product you have been looking for?”
“If someone else where selling this product, what would you want the ad to say, what would get you to buy this product? When you have that answer, that is the ad you want to create.”
Me: “I see.” (hesitantly)
Man: “See the business across the street here? Pizza. I could triple the business that place does inside of 10 minutes. That’s what I do by the way.” (smiling)
“All I would do is walk into the business as a customer. I would sit there and imagine all the things that could be done to me that would make me a loyal customer to that business for life. What could they do for me that would make me feel this way?”
“Once I had the answers to that question, I would implement them across the board. Every customer would be treated the way I had imagined. And without any doubt what so ever that business would triple the profits it now makes.”
Me: “I think I know...”
Man: “Wait, you don’t really know anything yet. That’s the problem with people. They brush something off because of where it came from or because they heard it many times. Leave that for fools. You won’t know it “until you have deeply pondered it and put it to use.”
Me: “Ok”
Man: “What I am telling you has power undreamed of. The simple words used to describe it cannot contain it. Does not do justice to it, and has been prostituted by blabber mouths who let wisdom fall off their lips with not even a single brain cell grasping what they are rambling about.”
“What I am telling you is Law, not man’s Law, but the very Law’s of nature herself. It’s the way things work and those who truly understand it rise to the top in every field known to man.”
“What people don’t understand is that it applies to everything. This secret can be applied with virtually every step you take, everything you do, every word you speak and everyone concerned profits by it.”
“If you are a writer, write like you would like to be written to”
“If you are a salesman, sell like you would like to be sold to”
“If you are a speaker, speak like you would like to be spoken to”
“If you want more love, then love like you would like to be loved”
“If you want more friends, be the friend you would like to see”
“When you infuse everything you do with this secret it takes on a magical power. Businesses dominate the market, books become best sellers, leaders attract huge and loyal followings.”
“How would you like it?”
“How would you respond to it?”
“How would it make you feel?”
“Those are great questions to think about every time you do or create something. You will get into the hearts and minds of everyone who comes under your influence if you will first think how you would have it done to you.”
“I’m certain you already know the quote from the Bible I’m referring to. But don’t repeat it, just ponder it and practice it.”
Me: “I do. But I’ve never thought of how it could actually apply to everything in life. I too was one of those fools who passed it over without so much as a second thought. I really want to thank you for sharing this with me.”
Man: “It’s been a real pleasure talking with you Mr. Says, have a safe journey home.”


And with that, he was gone. The funny thing was, as I was riding home on the bus I realized I never got his name, nor do I remember ever giving him mine. Maybe he saw my luggage tag. I’m not sure. It really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I’ve profited from that advice for the last 15 years.


I’m not even really any good at it either and I’ve still pulled in huge amounts of money.
Especially from the Internet. This is one place this knowledge can really shine. People have always asked me my secret. How come the Warrior is still here, with the same products, with all this competition, after all these years?


This one simple secret is the answer. I always ask myself how would I like to be treated by this company? What would I like to see? What would I like to get? How would I like to be dealt with?


Those simple questions are all you have to answer. When you do get the answers, put them into action and watch what happens.


Create The Site You’ve Been Looking For
Write Like You Would Like To Be Written To
Sell Like You Would Like To Be Sold To
Talk Like You Would Like To Be Talked To
Deal Like You Would Like To Be Dealt With
Create For Others What You Would Like Created For You

Man: “Do not make the mistake of shrugging off what I am about to tell you because you have heard it before. No doubt you have heard it already from at least one person in your life. You may have even heard it many times. Do you have any aversion to religion Mr. Says?”
Me: “No I don’t. I don’t believe many preachers know what they are talking about or even what they are trying to teach, but I do know the Bible has a lot of great knowledge in it.”
Man: “Good. I would not want you to discount what I am about to tell you because it does come directly from the Bible. But its applications reach far beyond what most people can conceive of. It will take thought, intense pondering on your part, to begin to get some inkling of its power.”
“This simple secret, when applied to business, will draw money to you as easily as water runs down a mountain. Even a fool can apply it and prosper. When applied to relationships, it will create more friends than you can handle” (laughing heartily)
Me: “What is it, I’m dying to know now?”
Man: “Patience Mr. Says, Patience. I will not give it to you as it has always been repeated by fools who have no respect or knowledge of what it even means. No. I will give it to you another way. What type of business are you interested in?”
Me: “Well, I’m dabbling in Mail Order right now. I would like to place ads and sell books.”
Man: “Fine. Fine. Mail Order it is. Let me tell you how to create a fortune in this Mail Order. All you have to do is create the product you want to buy”
Me: “I don’t understand”
Man: “You will”
“You see, you are your market. Whatever you want, there are millions of other people
wanting the same thing. That elusive product you are looking for is the product millions
of others are also looking for right now.”
“All you have to do is create the product you want to buy, the product you yourself have been looking for. Once you have this product, what would you want the sales message to say so that you know this is the product you have been looking for?”
“If someone else where selling this product, what would you want the ad to say, what would get you to buy this product? When you have that answer, that is the ad you want to create.”
Me: “I see.” (hesitantly)
Man: “See the business across the street here? Pizza. I could triple the business that place does inside of 10 minutes. That’s what I do by the way.” (smiling)
“All I would do is walk into the business as a customer. I would sit there and imagine all the things that could be done to me that would make me a loyal customer to that business for life. What could they do for me that would make me feel this way?”
“Once I had the answers to that question, I would implement them across the board. Every customer would be treated the way I had imagined. And without any doubt what so ever that business would triple the profits it now makes.”
Me: “I think I know...”
Man: “Wait, you don’t really know anything yet. That’s the problem with people. They brush something off because of where it came from or because they heard it many times. Leave that for fools. You won’t know it “until you have deeply pondered it and put it to use.”
Me: “Ok”
Man: “What I am telling you has power undreamed of. The simple words used to describe it cannot contain it. Does not do justice to it, and has been prostituted by blabber mouths who let wisdom fall off their lips with not even a single brain cell grasping what they are rambling about.”
“What I am telling you is Law, not man’s Law, but the very Law’s of nature herself. It’s the way things work and those who truly understand it rise to the top in every field known to man.”
“What people don’t understand is that it applies to everything. This secret can be applied with virtually every step you take, everything you do, every word you speak and everyone concerned profits by it.”
“If you are a writer, write like you would like to be written to”
“If you are a salesman, sell like you would like to be sold to”
“If you are a speaker, speak like you would like to be spoken to”
“If you want more love, then love like you would like to be loved”
“If you want more friends, be the friend you would like to see”
“When you infuse everything you do with this secret it takes on a magical power. Businesses dominate the market, books become best sellers, leaders attract huge and loyal followings.”
“How would you like it?”
“How would you respond to it?”
“How would it make you feel?”
“Those are great questions to think about every time you do or create something. You will get into the hearts and minds of everyone who comes under your influence if you will first think how you would have it done to you.”
“I’m certain you already know the quote from the Bible I’m referring to. But don’t repeat it, just ponder it and practice it.”
Me: “I do. But I’ve never thought of how it could actually apply to everything in life. I too was one of those fools who passed it over without so much as a second thought. I really want to thank you for sharing this with me.”
Man: “It’s been a real pleasure talking with you Mr. Says, have a safe journey home.”


And with that, he was gone. The funny thing was, as I was riding home on the bus I realized I never got his name, nor do I remember ever giving him mine. Maybe he saw my luggage tag. I’m not sure. It really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that I’ve profited from that advice for the last 15 years.


I’m not even really any good at it either and I’ve still pulled in huge amounts of money.
Especially from the Internet. This is one place this knowledge can really shine. People have always asked me my secret. How come the Warrior is still here, with the same products, with all this competition, after all these years?


This one simple secret is the answer. I always ask myself how would I like to be treated by this company? What would I like to see? What would I like to get? How would I like to be dealt with?


Those simple questions are all you have to answer. When you do get the answers, put them into action and watch what happens.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(8)

Money: An Illusion, a Shadow of Something Else...
by David Cameron


The first step to having wealth is to know what it is. And few people know what it really is, in and of itself. What is wealth? What causes it? What causes the cause of it? Let us start with money, the world’s symbol of wealth, and then move deeper.


Money is not real.


Money is merely legal tender, a form of exchange. We use it to exchange value. It represents value.


Money is the “body” of value. It is the physical representation of value that rises and falls in ourselves, within us. Not within “things” outside of us, but within us. For without us, what can the value of a thing, such as a car, be to us? Nothing, at least not to us. In other words, it is we, the observers, that place value in things, but this value is really value in us - we give value to the material things. The material things have no “money” value in themselves - we give that to them. So, money is the external physical representation of a particular section of our internal value, within us, within you. That is why a house or a block of shares valued at $1 million today can fall to a valuation of half a million dollars tomorrow when fear is introduced into the hearts of those involved. The fear kills a portion of the internal values of the participants and that is reflected by the paper money, the “body” of value.


Here is something else: physical paper money does not even represent money in full. It cannot reasonably do that. By some estimates (and this varies from nation to nation), only as little as 4% of the money in the banks exists as paper cash. Imagine how much cotton, linen, pulp, and metal the world would need so as to make all the money everyone has in his or her bank accounts. Imagine how much space it would take to store all this money in paper form. If you were to stack only one million US$1 bills, it would weigh one ton and be 361 ft high. Neither does money exist as gold reserves any more. This is for exactly the same reason - we ran out of the reasonable ability to keep a gold standard in the 1970s.


So what does it exist as, the money that we are always talking about? Well, it is one massive illusion. It is all just numbers written on paper and computer storage devices, and assigned to people and entities such as companies and investments, or more accurately, further records! To put it in another way, for every $100 or its equivalent in any other currency, only about $4 exists as printed-paper notes or coins, while the remaining $96 exists as numbers written on papers and computers in banks and businesses and other entities. The only reason this system does not collapse is that we all believe in it. The last time people stopped believing in it in a large enough extent was just before the Depression when large numbers of people rushed to their banks to withdraw their money and found that they could not all get it. This is not what caused the Great Depression, but it in a large way accelerated it.


So, money is not real - something else is. Money is just the shadow of that other something. The first step to wealth is to know what money really is, or more accurately, what it represents. Learn not to look at the money most of the time. As you will soon see, it is very rare in a day that you should ever look at money as you know it today - the cash, the bank accounts, the costs, etc. This is merely the shadow and not the real thing.


Looking at the shadow, the physical money, as you will soon see, is most of the time very unwise and unhealthy for you and your finances. Look, instead, at the value within you and within people, and the flowing and exchanging of this value between people. Our internal value is what creates money. Money is the shadow of our internal value. Develop this internal value in yourself and in others and your external money and wealth will correspondingly rise automatically, without fail.


Know this however: Money represents an aspect of a person’s internal value, but that does not mean that it represents a person’s entire internal value. That is very important. It is not about self-worth. Money only represents an aspect of that internal value that pertains to wealth. You cannot therefore say that a wealthy person has a higher self-worth and value than a poor person, but you can correctly say that in matters that relate and pertain to money, the wealthy person has a higher internal value in that aspect of value or that the person chooses to exercise a higher proportion of this internal value. This section of internal value that reflects on the outside as money, when exercised, is called Wealth Consciousness. It is available to all people equally and can be developed by and within all people equally. Like everything else that is important to our being alive, such as air, wealth consciousness is free to all. But you can choose to develop it or not develop it, or to exercise it or not. At any time, you can change your choice, and nothing outside of you can stop you.


You require nothing outside of yourself to increase your wealth consciousness, and therefore your money. All you need is within you right now. You may have forgotten it, but it is right there. You will now remember it. And the first step to that is to always remember that money is not real; it is the shadow of something else.


And here is another secret: Wealth consciousness is simply the expansion of your consciousness and awareness into the wealthy parts of your Self. That is why all that you need to increase your wealth consciousness is within you already. You are already wealthy, but you have been taught to choose to not experience your wealth. This insight changes everything. Like the wealthy people, you can now know how to and choose to start experiencing the wealthy you.


You have more wealth capability within you than you can possibly experience in a lifetime. You need not worry that you have reached your limit of becoming wealthy in any way or because of any condition. Neither do you need to know how to convert wealth consciousness into paper cash money - as you will see, it will happen automatically. All you need to do is expand your wealth consciousness and exercise it, act on it, be it, and the situations and opportunities for the equivalent conversion into cash money will present themselves automatically to you. None of the extremely wealthy people today could have, at the time when they were not wealthy, possibly predicted and planned the exact sequence of events that would lead to their immense wealth. They most probably had a set of goals and a plan, but any one of them will tell you that they met countless “coincidences” and opportunities that “joined the dots” for them in ways they could never have predicted. Their goals were their own doing, but the paths that led to them coming into being, and exceeding them, were amazingly intelligent yet unforeseen.


You shall now see how to make them happen in your life - you may not be able to predict their sequence, but you can certainly make these “fortunate coincidences” happen to you every day of your life.


By the way, it is not only paper money that is not real. A lot of the things around you that you hold so real are really not real at all either. You are about to embark on a beautiful, empowering and liberating journey that will show you exactly what your world is in a way that you have never looked at it before. It is a journey that will open your eyes and free your wings. You are about to look “under the hood” of the Life, you are about to learn how to customize your world to your liking.


You are about to attain Wealth Consciousness. Once you do, avoiding success and wealth will become very difficult. Yes, you read that correctly. Once you have wealth consciousness, it will be very difficult for you to not have success and wealth. Success and wealth will follow you automatically wherever you go. You will not need to concern yourself with their quest, yet they will find you. You will be free to experience other aspects of life that you may not have even dreamt of before, dimensions of Self and Life that are truly amazing and the same goes with happiness.

ART OF ATTRACTING MONEY(7)

Create a Million Dollar Stream of Income With Your Mind Now!
by Reed Byron


Have you ever felt that you’ve been cheated?


Perhaps you purchased something and it didn’t live up to your expectations? Maybe you bought something and it broke within a few days or found out later that what you purchased wasn’t what you really wanted . . .


For most of us, this has happened at least once in our life. My point in bringing this up is to point out to you how you are now focusing in your mind about that event. You remember it don’t you. You remember specific details of what happened . . . and you are probably in a bad mood because of it, aren’t you?


Well, I want to point out to you . . . right now . . . that you can STOP those thoughts NOW, by concentrating on something else. Go ahead and think about what you would buy right now when you have a million dollars in cold, hard cash. That’s right, you might be thinking of a new CAR, BOAT, MANSION, TOY, HELPING OTHERS, being financially free and perhaps you are even thinking of a VACATION or trip to HAWAII or other trips you would take. One person once told me that he was thinking about the words he would say to his boss when he quit his job.


Now, as you are thinking about having your own MILLIONS DOLLARS, what would you do? How would you feel when you have a MILLIONS DOLLARS now? Now STOP thinking about that and LISTEN to LEARN how you can not just “think” about it, but actually create it in your life INSTANTLY!


You don’t think it’s possible? Think again!


You might not have noticed that when I asked you about being cheated, you got a little upset. When you remembered that experience in your mind, you literally create the same physical sensations that you experienced in the past during that event. Your mind accessed the same thoughts, feelings and sounds that you had at that time in your life. You might have felt upset or slightly angry when you remembered it.


Then, if you thought about having your own million dollars . . . what happened? If you actually could imagine it in your mind, you really did think about what you would do with it, you probably even could see yourself living a “different life” than what you are living right now. Did you do it? Did you experience it? I did. If you didn’t, start from the beginning and do read it again - and this time, try to see it in your mind and honestly think about what you would do with your own million dollars.


The fact is that our minds are more powerful that we know. As humans, we can literally take something from our past and relive it over and over and over again. You might know someone who does this.


Think about it. Have you ever heard someone say almost the same thing when something goes wrong? Maybe they say “I had a bad childhood,” or “I’m no good at X,” or some other negative statement that they have placed upon themselves.


Without going into scientific details, you can learn to master your mind and use it’s creative/remembering ability to bring into your life whatever you want. Specifically, you can change your mind so you create, not only abundance in every form, but you can actually create a Million Dollar Income Stream into your life . . . now.


How? By using the same tools that others use to bring themselves down into despair and create poverty, you can use those tools in new ways that bring you up into happiness and prosperity and create a Million Dollar Income Stream now.


Just like you thought about what you would do with the millions of dollars, if you will DO the following exercises EVERY DAY - you will create Million Dollar Income Streams in your life. It WILL happen instantly, effortlessly, and completely naturally as you trust in the power of your mind to create what you want.


Remember, what I am about to share with you are the EXACT STEPS to ensure your success. These are SECRETS. They have been hidden from the general population for a reason. Now that they are going to be revealed to you, please honor them and take them seriously.


Now LISTEN. This is very important. Even though I know thousands (if not millions) of
people will eventually read this material, only a select few will actually implement it.


Why? Because even though the Million Dollar Income Stream will flow into your life
effortlessly and naturally, it does require some EFFORT on your part - only initially. After you set up the system (in your mind), it will be completely natural and effortless.



So, I invite you to be one of the FEW who will USE this priceless information. Do what needs to be done initially and then, reap the rewards for the rest of your life. Now, these are the EXACT steps to create a Permanent Million Dollar Income Stream in your life NOW . . .


Step one: You must first eliminate all doubt from your being. Eliminate all hate, eliminate all sorrow, and eliminate all excuses. In short, you must BELIEVE that this will work for you, because it will. So, step one - have faith that as you do this, it will work.
Believe that it will work for you and it will.


Step two: You must take only 15 minutes a day to be by yourself (alone) to perform the MILLIONAIRE EXERCISE. I don’t care if you have to go into your closet or bathroom and lock the door - but you must do it. Don’t question it, just do it.


Step three: You must close your eyes and repeat the following verbatim (word for word) - preferably out-loud for the entire 15 minutes. “Every minute of every day, millions of dollars flow to me now . . . instantly, effortlessly, naturally now.”


Step four: You must repeat that statement over and over and over again in a rhythmic manner for at least 15 minutes of every day for a two month period.


Step five: After the two month period of doing that everyday, you must set a goal of exactly what amount of money you want to have. For example, if you want $1,468,920.00 you must start using this amount in your statements. So, you would say
“One million, four hundred sixty-eight thousand, nine hundred twenty dollars flows to me now, instantly, effortlessly, naturally now.” Do this for the next 3 months.


Step six: During these next 3 months, after you are done repeating the phrase, you must think about either having that exact amount of money in your bank account (visualize yourself looking at your bank statement with that exact amount of money on your statement). Then, feel good about your accomplishment.


Step seven: Circumstances and situations will start arising in your life that will allow this exact amount to manifest itself into your life. Simply be positive (remember you cannot doubt, for if you do - you will not obtain the money) and allow the universe to work its magic in your life.


Step eight: Repeat steps one through seven. By doing so, you will acquire Million Dollar Income Streams in your life. You now have the exact steps. Remember to use them.


Thank you for allowing me to share these secret steps with you. I wish you complete success as you create your own Million Dollar Income Streams . . . now.
