In this final instalment of our series on How to Manifest Money we present the third Manifesting Money principle which completes the trilogy…
Manifesting Money Principle #3 – Focus Your Actions
There is a saying which many people quote without realising that it contains a very true spiritual principle. The saying is this: ‘Pray as though everything depends on God, and act as though everything depends on you.’
This really does sum up our third principle of manifestation. Once you have made your wish and applied the law of e-motion (both spiritual workings in the main) it is time for you to take full responsibility for your life and start working towards your goal yourself.
Sit down and think about how you could increase your income using just your own resources. Could you get a better job? Could you ask for a pay increase? Could you call in any favours from other people? Could you start a business of your own on a shoe-string? Could you become an internet affiliate and make profits by recommended products to other people?
It doesn’t matter exactly what you do, as long as you begin to work as though everything depends on your actions. By doing this you will achieve a nice balance between your visualizations and actions, and the money will follow just as surely as dollar bills are green.
How To Manifest Money – In A Nutshell
We haven’t had much time in this short series to go into great theoretical detail, but the three Manifesting Money principles that we have shared are amazingly powerful if you put them to work. Just make a wish, apply the law of e-motion and then focus your actions on obtaining your goal under your own steam. These three principles will then merge on a spiritual level and the money you want will be manifested in your life. But don’t just take our word for this – apply the three Manifesting Money principles and see for yourself!
The first Manifesting Money principle that we shared in this series on How to Manifest Money related to setting a clear objective. If you have applied that principle as described then you are now ready for the second principle…
Manifesting Money Principle #2 – Apply the Law of E-Motion
Those of you who have been visiting Create Good Things for some time and have read through some of the materials listed on the Archive page will already know that emotion is energy in motion. That being the case, the second Manifesting Money principles is to apply spiritual energy to your goal by changing the state of your emotions. This will ensure that your personal vibrations are in tune with what you want and not with what you don’t want.
We don’t want to spend too much time talking about energy and vibrations in this series (the articles in the Creative Thoughts category will shed some light on this subject, and The New Science of Abundance ebook provides comprehensive coverage for the more serious student), but suffice it to say that the energy you automatically emanate via emotions can either attract or repel the things you want. If you want to ensure that your wish is going to be manifest as quickly as possible, you must take steps to ensure that, so far as possible, your personal energies are in total harmony with your goal.
The easiest way to do this is to begin accepting the manifestation of your goal as a tangible fact. In other words, begin to talk, act and think as though what you want has already come to pass. You have probably heard of this technique before, but we assure you that it is one of the most powerful and magical of all metaphysical principles.
To help you get to the point where you are internally convinced that manifestation of abundance has already occurred, we suggest that you take the following simple steps:
#1 – Collect Money Symbols
Get a collection of magazines and cut out any picture which symbolizes money or wealth as far as you are concerned. The pictures could be varied: A brand new sports car, a large country mansion, a bottle of Champagne on ice, a roll of dollar bills, a designer suit, and so on. When you have a nice pile of pictures which inspire you and make you think of abundance, put them in places where you will see them often, such as on a fridge door or bathroom mirror. Then, whenever your eye falls on the pictures, spend a few seconds visualizing yourself enjoying what you see. Imagine yourself sipping that cool Champagne, spending that roll of dollar bills and wearing that designer suit. The more vividly you can imagine these things, the more you will begin to tune your personal energies into the attraction of wealth and abundance.
#2 – Live Like A Success
What do you imagine you will do when you become abundant? Will you continue wasting precious hours of life watching banal television programmes, or will you spend your time more wisely? Will you take up a new hobby, start a business of your own or begin to learn new things?
However you think abundance will change your life, change it now! If you know you want to start your own business when your abundance is manifest then begin reading books about the type of business you want to run. Start making plans for the business so that everything is ready to roll when the money comes into your life. Similarly, if you want to visit far-off places when your abundance is manifest then start studying the countries you want to travel to. Maybe learn the language from books or audio programs in your spare time.
By spending your time preparing for the life you will live when you are actually wealthy, you will automatically start living like a success. This, in turn, will strengthen your personal energies and attract wealth into your life much faster.
One man we know decided that when he had abundance he would move to Los Angeles and start writing screenplays for a living. So instead of simply watching TV whilst he waited for abundance to manifest, he borrowed a few books from his library and studied the art of screenwriting thoroughly. Then he sat down and wrote a script, which was later optioned by a production company. In addition, he decided to spend time developing a ‘California Lifestyle’ by taking greater care of his body and dressing in more business-like clothes. In other words, he began living like the success he knew he wanted to be before the money had actually arrived!
The result of all this? When his abundance was manifest he was all set to go. He had the knowledge and the mental attitude which would make his new life in LA a complete success. In addition, he also had a few scripts to sell! And to think that all he sacrificed to do this was his habit of watching sitcoms and rolling news channels!
No matter what you intend to do when your abundance is manifest, start preparing for it now. Start living like a success right now and when the money rolls in, you can roll straight out and start living the life you’ve always wanted.
#3 – Sleep Programming
Before you go to sleep each night, imagine yourself living the kind of life that you want. See yourself wearing fine clothes, eating in fine restaurants and driving a fine car. See yourself open your purse or wallet and look at all the dollar bills inside. See yourself enjoy luxury vacations and anything else that your new-found abundance allows.
Don’t just imagine these things, but really feel as though they are real. Again, this will alter the quality of your personal energy vibrations, making them resonate on a frequency of wealth and financial prosperity. This will, in turn, transform you into a virtual money-magnet, attracting precisely what you want from the universe.
Previously we introduced this series on How to Manifest Money by discussing why you, as a spiritual being, deserve abundance in every area of life. We now present the first of three Manifesting Money principles that you can use to help you manifest money quickly and painlessly…
Manifesting Money Principle #1 – Make A Wish
This really is a vital principle in manifesting money and anything else for that matter. You have to start by ‘making a wish’ – by sitting down and deciding once and for all precisely what it is you want.
Now most people don’t actually do this. Most people mentally agree that they would like more money, or a better car, or a bigger home, but few actually sit down and decide that they are absolutely committed to getting what they want. Unfortunately, unless this decision is deliberately made, manifesting anything is virtually impossible.
Start by imagining that you have been granted just one wish to help you improve your financial life and that whatever you wish for you can have. Now decide what you will wish for, and be as specific as possible. Don’t rush this decision, but take your time. Sit down and seriously consider what you really and truly want. Not what you think you can get, or what you think you deserve, but what you want.
When you have made this decision, write your wish-goal on a piece of paper as though it has already been manifest. For example, instead of writing, ‘I wish for $10,000 in the bank’ you should write, ‘I have $10,000 in the bank.’ We use the present tense because this helps to unleash the power within us and makes manifestation a much faster process.
It may seem simple, but as we said earlier, most people never get around to deciding what they really want in the way of material abundance. Most people spend more time watching soap operas on television than they do making plans about their lives. It is therefore no wonder that they do not make any real progress.
So take these principles seriously. They have the power to give you whatever you want, but only if you use them. And the first step is to sit down and make a wish. So sit down and make it!
In this exclusive series on How to Manifest Money we will present three specific Manifesting Money principles which you can use to start attracting a greater level of wealth and abundance into your life.
Before we begin, we should first make sure that you are at ease with the concept of experiencing abundance. So many people seem to think that becoming wealthy – driving luxury cars and enjoying the best of everything – is unspiritual. This belief alone can block any abundance you might otherwise experience, so it is vital that you correct it at once if you recognise it within yourself.
The fact is that wealth and abundance to some degree are virtually essential in this current age. In order to enjoy many of the things on this earth plane – even modest things such as a roof over your head and food on the table – money is essential. Even if all you want to do is travel to Tibet and learn to meditate properly, you still need at least some cash to pay your air fare and put clothes on your back.
Money is neither positive or negative. It is merely a symbol of energy – a unit of exchange – and is therefore neutral. One man can use his wealth to control other people whilst another can use his wealth to set people free from financial burdens. Thus money can be used either negatively or positively, but money itself is not biased one way or the other. It is neither spiritual or unspiritual.
As the infinite spiritual being that you really are, you deserve abundance in every area of your life. You deserve abundance in your relationships, career, living environment, transport, wardrobe, friendships, spiritual knowledge and – lest we forget – your finances. Abundance is not only a normal part of your birthright as a divine being, it is actually a necessity. If you have abundance in your financial situation then you can use this to help yourself and others live life at the highest possible level. If you don’t have such abundance then you can seldom help anyone with anything of a practical nature. It really is as simple as that.
Now that has been dealt with, we can begin to discuss the art of manifesting money itself. The three Manifesting Money principles we present in this series should be incorporated into your daily life as soon as possible. Don’t wait for a few months and then wonder why you aren’t abundant. Abundance comes only when you act on the spiritual principles which you are taught. So study this series carefully, read through the text at least twice, then put the principles to work. If you do this then the results will be truly magical.
The New Science of Abundance by Joseph Franklin was originally presented as a ten-month home study course in the UK, but the complete course of ten modules can now be obtained at a fraction of the original cost from www.newscienceofabundance.com. I have been studying this course myself for just a few weeks now (it has only recently be released online) and I have been so impressed (and enriched!) that I requested permission to present an extract of the first module here at Create Good Things. The author was generous enough to approve my request, and so here it is – enjoy!
Why You Need to Become Abundant
We live in a world where a state of abundance is the natural expectation of all living beings. Yet we all know that there are millions of people who live in poverty instead of prosperity, in sickness instead of health and in a state of emotional misery instead of joy. So how do we begin to understand such suffering and poverty in the context of an abundant universe? And how can we help to change things?
The answer to the first question is rather simple. Just as some plants get trampled on by ignorant walkers, so some groups of people are trampled on by ignorant majorities. People do not starve because there isn’t enough food in the world to feed them. People starve because there aren’t enough abundance-minded individuals around to help them. It is human selfishness (which stems from an ignorance of abundance principles) not nature, which creates poverty.
This being the case, the answer to the second question becomes obvious. The only way we can help to alleviate suffering and poverty is to become abundant. When we live in a state of total abundance we will be in a position not only to directly help those in need, but also to teach abundance principles to others so that they can help even more people, and so on.
Imagine living in a world where every man, woman and child understands the science of abundance. There will still be a few individuals who, through no fault of their own, suffer from setbacks. But because the majority of us will be living in a state of total abundance, those unfortunate few will instantly be aided and assisted by the rest of us so that they too are brought into a state of abundance.
It sounds like a Utopian vision, doesn’t it? Yet this is what I believe we ought to be working towards as a civilisation. I believe that stories about the Garden of Eden and the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth were not written to educate us, but to inspire us. I don’t think they were given to us to show us what we might or might not miss out on, but to show us what a civilisation is capable of becoming.
Deciding to shun abundance because other people are suffering in poverty is totally illogical. If there is sickness in the world, we need to train more doctors, chemists and healers. If there is suffering and poverty in the world, we need to train more people to reach a state of total abundance. Only then can suffering be confronted in a meaningful and permanent way.
You therefore need to become abundant. Not only because this state of being is your natural birthright as a human being, but also because this world desperately needs abundant people to help turns things around and put our civilisation back on course to reach a future destination where all human beings thrive, flourish and prosper as nature intended.
This sounds like a tall order, I know, but just think about abundance in the context of your own life as an individual. How will achieving a state of total abundance affect your immediate friends, neighbours and relatives? How will you feel when you can actually do something to alleviate the suffering of those around you, secure in the knowledge that you can never run out of abundance? How will you feel when you are able to solve problems and meet real needs?
Achieving a state of total abundance will inspire those around you to follow a similar course of action. Your life will offer hope to those who currently have none. It will awaken the people who know you to new possibilities. By simply following your own natural desire for abundance, you will automatically create a wave of change in the lives of others. These people will influence still more people, and so on and so on, until eventually your single decision to become abundant will have had an indirect influence on many more people than you can currently dare to imagine.
When it is stated in these terms, does the idea of becoming abundant sound selfish? Not at all! It is in fact one of the best things you can do if you want to play your part in creating a more peaceful, productive and caring world.

Prosperity consciousness is something that anyone who wants to experience greater levels of wealth and abundance must learn to develop. A prosperity consciousness is a mental, emotional and spiritual attitude to money that includes the following aspects:
A belief that we live in a genuinely abundant universe and that there is more than enough to enable all human beings to live lives of plenty and prosperity. Getting rich doesn’t mean that anyone else has to get poor in the process – instead we can all get rich and enjoy the abundance that is available to us.
An appreciation for the wealth and abundance that we already have in our lives. Many people don’t pause to notice how wealthy they really are, and that ignorance effectively prevents them from receiving even more.
A sense of trust in the benevolence of the universe, and a sense of knowing that we can have whatever we need to live our lives to the full and to help others do the same.
It could be said that we are all born with a prosperity consciousness and that we are conditioned to lose that attitude as we grow older. Consider how many children think that money is no big deal and act as if there is an endless supply of the stuff. That’s a prosperity consciousness, but adults are quick to ‘teach’ those children that money is a much rarer commodity than they think. In fact, we teach children to develop the opposite of a prosperity consciousness – we teach them to have a scarcity consciousness and to treat money as if it were most difficult thing in the world to obtain.
Although it is important to teach children to respect the value of money and the work and productivity that goes into creating wealth on a financial level, we certainly shouldn’t encourage scarcity thinking. Human beings achieve in life only as much as they believe they are able to achieve, so limiting the way that our children think effectively limits what they will be able to experience in life.
Developing a prosperity consciousness is not something that requires us to ‘add’ to our adult understanding, but only that we go back to how we originally viewed things as children. We need to go back to the point where we could look at the natural world and appreciate the wealth of space that is available to us for exploration and fun. We need to look at the wealth of opportunities that there are to provide a myriad of products and services to our fellow human beings. Then we need to dare to dream big dreams, make big plans and proceed with the faith that we will achieve all the things that we want to achieve.
NOTE: If you liked this article then be sure to study my seven-part series of posts on The Secret Science of Wealth Creation.
The Secret Science of Wealth Creation is a matrix of seven simple but extremely powerful metaphysical principles. Here is the seventh principle:
Wealth Creation Principle #7 – Enjoy What You Already Have
Many students of metaphysical systems tend to waste their precious time on earth because they constantly look to the future and never take time to ‘smell the roses’ which are already around them. This is sad, because the journey towards metaphysical mastery is almost as fulfilling as the destination itself.
By taking time to enjoy the things you already have in your life, you will find it even easier to detach yourself from any emotional turmoil that may exist. This will, in turn, make manifesting your desires a more automatic process.
Enjoying what you already have means living life to the full. Some people may argue that they do not have a great deal, hence their desire for financial abundance. We would argue on that point.
It really is true that some of the best things in life are free and are available to anyone regardless of income. How often do you take time to savour the visual delights of a beautiful sunrise? How often do you take advantage of the wealth of literature available at your local library? How often do you listen to exclusive concerts broadcast on the radio – concerts which would cost tens, perhaps hundreds of pounds to visit in person? How often do you take a walk in the countryside?
You see, you really do live in a world of wonderful abundance, but too many people concentrate on financial abundance to the exclusion of all else that they do not take advantage of what they already have all around them.
This seventh principle of enjoying what you already have can truly revolutionise your whole view of life. No longer need you feel miserable whilst you are waiting for your wealth to manifest itself. Now you can spend the manifestation ‘waiting period’ smelling the roses, enjoying the morning sunrise and generally appreciating the fact that you have the one thing that is most priceless of all – the privilege of being alive right here on the earth plane.
Make a point of spending at least half an hour each day enjoying what you already have. That way, when abundance becomes commonplace you will truly appreciate it and will not – like many others do – take your ability to create good things for granted.
Conclusion
The seven principles we have discussed are in this series are extremely deceptive. When examined individually, as we have done, they seem as simple as can be. The fact is that they are simple, but don’t let their simplicity lead you to believe that they don’t work.
Our research has failed to locate one person who has used all seven principles of The Secret Science of Wealth Creation and been disappointed with the results. It doesn’t matter how low your current level of income is, if you employ the seven principles of The Secret Science of Wealth Creation in your daily life, you will soon come to experience wealth and abundance first hand.
When that happens you will be able to afford to devote more time to your spiritual evolution and continue becoming all that you are destined to become.
