Create Good Things

Archive for the ‘Abundance’ Category

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.

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.

The Secret Science of Wealth Creation is a matrix of seven simple but extremely powerful metaphysical principles. Here is the sixth principle:

Wealth Creation Principle #6 – Create Magnetic Icons

Magnetic Icons are symbols of desires which you want to manifest in your life. They are placed in a prominent area so that you can see them as you go about your everyday business and help to generate subconscious thought-forms, in much the same way as a talisman of wealth does.

Before you can create your magnetic icons, you first need to decide specifically what it is you want to manifest. For this purpose, money alone is not specific enough. You must ask yourself what it is you want to do with your wealth and abundance, and then create a magnetic icon which is symbolic of that desire.

For example, if you want to buy a new car, decide what type of car it is that you want, and what colour. If you want a new home, decide whether you want a home in the country or in the city, and how large you want it to be.

Once you have a specific desire, you can create a magnetic icon which encapsulates it symbolically. The best way to do this is to obtain a picture of what you desire from a brochure or magazine, cut it out and then proceed as follows:

• Place the picture on the palm of your right hand.

• Close your eyes and relax completely.

• Imagine that your right hand is beginning to glow with bright yellow energy, and that the picture is absorbing this energy. Again, do not be surprised if your hand seems to tingle when you do this, but do not be concerned if it doesn’t.

• With your eyes still closed, say the following phrase out loud:

This picture symbolises what will be manifested in my life.
I charge it with spiritual power and declare it
to be a magnetic icon of my desire.

Now place your left hand over your right hand so that the picture is enclosed and imagine that the glowing stops. The picture is now charged as a magnetic icon.

You should have no more than seven magnetic icons in use at any one time. We suggest that you mount your icons on a large piece of card or stiff paper and hang this in a position where you will see it several times each day.

Whenever the icons catch your eye, pause for a second or two and express gratitude to the God-Power within you for the fact that these desires are on their way into your life. The more often you do this, the faster the desire will manifest itself in your life.
