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.
So far in this series on the meaning of life we have said that there is one Universal Intelligence or God energy. You are that God energy and everyone else is that God energy. So whose Virtual Reality ride is this life? Are we minor characters in your Virtual Reality ride, or are you a minor character in our Virtual Reality rides?
The answer to this question is that, in spiritual terms, there is absolutely no ‘you’ and ‘us’. As so many ancient traditions have said, we are all one. Thus it could be said that your life on earth is, in the larger sense, our life. We don’t currently know the details of your ride because we are currently on another ride, but when we go to the spiritual plane we will remember ‘your’ life as one of our own.
Similarly, our life is your life. You might not be aware of taking the particular ride which we are on right now, but that is because you are currently taking another one. Again, when you return to the spiritual plane you will remember ‘our’ lives as your own.
This concept may be hard to grasp at first, but meditate on it and all will become clear. There is no ‘you’ and ‘us’ because there is only one ‘energy and we are all manifestations of that one energy. We just perceive ourselves as being individuals because that is the way the dream is experienced.
It is quite possible that when we – being the one energy – have experienced every possible combination of dreams, we will progress to explore other manifestations of life. Perhaps the human race itself will be replaced with something even more challenging and exciting. If so, we should be looking forward to experiencing a whole vista of new ‘realities’ and so increase our self-knowledge even further.
And so that is one position concerning the meaning of life. We are all aspects of the one Universal Intelligence or God energy. We are all infinite and eternal. We perceive ourselves to be living different lives because we are dreaming ‘dreams’ in which we experience the same ride from the vantage point of different individuals. When our physical body expires, we will find ourselves having completed a particular ‘dream’. And then we will be ready to dream again.
In the previous part of this series on the meaning of life we told the story of Jack and how he experienced life as a kind of virtual reality ride, and the point we want to make today is that maybe you too are experiencing some cosmic kind of Virtual Reality right now. Maybe we are all Virtual Reality dreamers. Of course, our lives seem real enough, but we all feel deep down inside that there is more to it than living on earth for a certain number of years.
Our position on the questions of life before birth and life after death is that this life may not be true reality at all. It could simply be a ‘dream’ that we are experiencing – a dream which we ourselves chose to have in order to learn specific lessons.
The bible says that in the place called heaven, ‘A day is like 1,000 years, and 1,000 years is like a day.’ Could this mean that our 70 year lives here on earth are just dreams which take seconds on the spiritual plane? We think that is certainly possible.
If we view our physical lives from this point of view, we can finally begin to understand and cope more readily with the ‘negative’ aspects of life. If a human being dies in infancy then although this is a very sad event from our earthly perspective, we can take heart from the fact that one game is now over for that particular manifestation of spirit and that a lesson has been learned.
Similarly, if we see other people suffering then we can do our best to help, but understanding that this suffering is all part of the ‘dream’ that they may have chosen for themselves and that in real terms it lasts just a few seconds puts the whole affair into its proper perspective.
Think about your life from this new ‘Virtual Reality’ point of view and note the lessons you have already learned. Every action you have taken since birth has yielded a result. Every decision that you have ever made has altered your path at least a little. And now, right at this moment, you are reading these words. Is this merely a coincidence? Or is reading this an essential part of your own Virtual Reality dream?
We can tell you that out of every one hundred people who read the first part of this series, just a handful will continue reading to this stage. We do not mind this. Every manifestation of spirit must dream their own dream and progress at their own pace. The very fact that you have continued reading to this point in the series signifies that you are working on a similar wavelength to ourselves, and so this final understanding of Virtual Reality as a possible answer to life’s most difficult questions should be coming quite naturally to you.
The idea of reincarnation, and that we must continue having physical lives until our knowledge is complete on a spiritual level, is very similar to our own understanding. The only substantial difference is that we propose that physical lives are ‘dreams’ experienced by our higher selves and are therefore to be enjoyed and welcomed, whereas proponents of reincarnation see physical life as being more of a burden and something to be avoided ‘next time round’ if at all possible.
What happens when we treat life as though it were a ride or a dream? Well, several things.
Firstly, we tend not to take physical problems such as paying the bills, finding a job and fixing a broken computer too seriously. We know that these things are just obstacles which make the Virtual Reality ride or the dream more interesting and useful.
Secondly, we strive to make every second of our dream count. We know that the dream won’t last forever and so we aim to help those around us develop their own potential and insight so that when we leave this plane, they can use some of what we have learned to help them enjoy their own Virtual Reality dream.
Finally, we no longer fear death, because death is simply the end of this particular ride and there are many more rides to be experienced if that is what we wish to do.
Right now you may think of yourself of being an individual, of being separate from other people, of living ‘your own life’. But no matter how strongly you believe in this illusion, that is all it is – an illusion. Even now you are simply energy and that energy exists in all times and in all places. You are even now an infinite and eternal being with no limits. In case you need us to say it just one more time, you are energy. Or, to express the idea in the bluntest and most direct way, you are God.
So what is this life all about? If you are God and we are God and we are all the same God, why do we perceive ourselves as being separate, of being individuals?
Our notion is that this physical life is nothing more than a training ground or ‘dream’. God, being infinitely creative, desires to experience every possible permutation of human life, and so it experiences this through physical life. It experiences existence as a single mother and at the same time as a member of royalty. It experiences abundance and lack. It experiences pain and it experiences ecstasy. It experiences being black, white, yellow, male, female, old, young, able and unable.
If you have battled hard all your life against poverty then this is God experiencing poverty. As God you can turn this poverty into abundance, and so learn more about the way that poverty and abundance work in your particular situation. If you decide not to turn poverty into abundance then that is something you will learn at some point in the future – perhaps in another ‘dream of life’.
We would like to talk more about this ‘dream of life’ belief, and perhaps the best way we can do this is to tell you a short story…
Once upon a time a man called Jack who fell asleep and had a dream. He dreamt that he was walking through the spiritual plane when he came to a small amusement park. In that amusement park there was a man selling tickets for a ride on his new Virtual Reality machine.
“Would you like a go Sir?” the man asked with a smile.
“Is it good?” asked Jack.
“Good? It’s the best! In sixty seconds you will experience a whole other life as though you’re really there.”
“And what’s the point of that?” asked Jack.
“Well, wouldn’t you like to learn more about yourself?” the man replied. “Wouldn’t you like to know how you’d deal with different circumstances? Wouldn’t you like to try life as a completely different person and see how well you could cope?”
Jack nodded. “That sounds good. What programs does your machine offer?”
The man smiled. “More than you could handle in a million years of being in this place. You can be black, white, male, female, poor, rich, sick, healthy, relaxed, uptight, tall, short, thin or fat. You can live in London, Birmingham, Fresno, San Diego, Acapulco….”
“I think I get the idea.” Jack said, knowing full well that this friendly salesman could probably go on forever. “I’ll give it a spin.”
The man smiled again and helped Jack get aboard the machine. A helmet was placed on his head and gloves on his hands to make the Virtual Reality experience as plausible as possible.
“Hold on tight, Sir. You’re Virtual Ride starts now!”
Before he had time to say anything, Jack was catapulted into another world. He was born and experienced life as a baby, learning to walk and talk. Then he went to kindergarten, then school, then college, then university. Then he found himself a great job as a lawyer, met a beautiful colleague and a couple of years later they married. They had children and watched their children grow into adults themselves. Jack took vacations, played golf and grew old. And then he died in the arms of his wife. And just as everything went black….
Jack opened his eyes and found himself on some sort of ride.
“Where am I?” he asked.
The man standing next to him smiled. “The ride is over, Sir. Now tell me, what did those sixty seconds teach you?”
And then Jack remembered. He wasn’t really a lawyer at all. It was just a ride. “Sixty seconds? It felt like 70 years! And I learned a lot,” Jack answered. “But I could do with learning some more. Could I take another ride?”
The man nodded. “Sure you can. Any place in particular?”
Jack shrugged. “Oh, I don’t really mind. But it would be good if it was a life in which I had the opportunity to learn more about the deeper aspects of the universe and about who I really am as a spirit being.”
“No problem,” the man said, and helped Jack put the helmet and gloves back on. “Now hold on tight because this life is going to be a lot more challenging than the last. You’ll encounter difficulties at every turn, but it’s all for teaching purposes so you’ll be fine.”
Jack nodded.
“Okay then. Your Virtual Ride starts now!”
And then Jack woke up.
Now, which one was the ‘real’ Jack in the story? Was it the Jack who was dreaming in bed and finally woke up? Or was it the Jack who was strolling around the spiritual plane taking ‘Virtual Reality’ rides to learn more about himself as a spiritual being?
Think about your own physical life. Have there been times when your life got so crazy and out-of-perspective that it seemed more like a ride or a dream than reality?
Then maybe that’s just what it is…
