We previously promised an announcement that would be well worth waiting for, and here it is: Create Good Things has today launched The Seven Dollar Miracle, a brand new e-book that is designed to help the largest possible number of people to develop a mastery of the miraculous and work in harmony with the universe as co-creators.
The Seven Dollar Miracle has its very own web site at www.sevendollarmiracle.com and we encourage anyone who is interested in demonstrating their spiritual power in their own lives to pay a visit and read all about it. In the meantime, we are happy to provide you with an introductory overview right here…
The Seven Dollar Miracle is an instantly downloadable e-book of over 33,000 words presented in ten chapters. It is designed as a 21st century guide to working miracles and explains how the ancients used a precise step-by-step formula to work miracles in their lives… and how you can do the same!
And where does the ‘seven dollars’ reference fit into all of this? Well, as we said in our previous post, we wanted to create a product that would be accessible to the greatest number of people, so rather than price this book to make a profit, we set the lowest viable ‘token’ price that would enable us to cover our overheads. That token price is just $7, so now anyone can benefit from this information for less than the cost of a modest lunch at a fast food restaurant!
The Seven Dollar Miracle quotes from a variety of ancient scriptures, but it is not in any way a religious work, nor does it require you to have any specific world view. Our aim in creating The Seven Dollar Miracle was to present a powerful, step-by-step guide to mastering the miraculous in the same way that the ancient masters did, and when you study and use the material yourself you will be using the exact same principles and techniques that have been used for millennia.
Many people think that the Law of Attraction is a new idea, and various individuals and groups are currently trying to establish that they were the first to come up with it. But the Law of Attraction is only the modern name for a universal principle which is in fact timeless, and the ancient texts refer to it repeatedly, albeit in a sometimes carefully disguised way. By taking the reader right back to the original concepts of working miracles, as revealed in the ancient texts, The Seven Dollar Miracle delivers a genuine and authentic approach that is as effective as it is timeless.
Visit www.sevendollarmiracle.com to read more about this brand new title and please do spread the word as far and wide as you can. With the world throwing so many challenges at people it is becoming increasingly important for individuals to learn how to master the miraculous in their lives and work with the universe as deliberate creators. The Seven Dollar Miracle reveals exactly how to do that, and when you are in that position of confidence and power it really doesn’t matter what the world throws at you – you will be able to create good things regardless!
Pretending to have the power of faith might sound strange, but it really works to help you create good things. It opens up the possibility of a manifestation taking place, and as you follow your emulated faith with action, results happen automatically.
This is why religious and spiritual leaders throughout the ages have told their followers to imitate them. Because by imitating a spiritual leader who had total genuine faith, the follower himself taps into the power of conviction emulation and results happen just as they would with real faith.
But the magic doesn’t stop there. For as soon as a result has been achieved by acting on emulated or ‘pretend’ faith, your real faith is boosted a notch. For example, the book you wrote based on pretend faith may lead you to a legitimate writing assignment. This would boost your confidence and faith in your natural writing abilities and the need for conviction emulation is reduced until eventually you don’t need it at all because you have the genuine article – true faith.
Now all of this might sound a little complex, but really the rule of conviction emulation is simple:
Have faith that your goal has already been achieved. If you can’t generate total faith, pretend that you can. Pretend that your goal has already been achieved, then put that faith into action. Manifestation will follow. Repeat this process until a strong sense of genuine faith has been allowed to develop.
You will know when you have genuine faith when you find that you have no need to pretend. When you think of a goal and say, ‘I CAN DO THAT!’ automatically and without deliberation, a plateau of genuine, wonder-working faith has been reached. From that point on, the strategy of conviction emulation can be discarded.
Conviction emulation works because the power of faith is not something which is based on the exterior world, but on our interior representations. People get well after taking placebo drugs not because the drugs actually contain any medicinal quality, but simply because they believe the drugs to be medicinal. In other words, their healing comes not from the external reality, but from the faith within – even when that faith in the placebo drug is totally unfounded!
Now that’s the power of faith!
Talk about the power of faith to many people and the reaction you will get can often be quite negative. Faith is seen all too often as some fuzzy, wishy-washy concept which sounds very good in theory but seldom works in the real world. It is seen as a nice idea, but one which has no real substance or power.
In this series on The Power of Faith we will go back to basics and discuss what true faith is, how it works and how we can all use it on a daily basis to create good things and revolutionize our lives. Forget pretty phrases and sentimentality – this series is all about the kind of faith that is guaranteed. The kind of faith that gets real results.
True faith is the stuff that moves mountains. It can turn around any situation in life both quickly and effectively. It can turn poverty into abundance, sickness into health, shyness into confidence and fear into power. It is a metaphysical state of mind which truly unleashes the awesome power which we all have within us. Make no mistake, the power of faith can work miracles.
Before we continue, we should define what faith is. From a metaphysical point of view, faith is knowing beyond a shadow of doubt that a goal has already come to pass. Faith is a feeling of absolute certainty that something has already happened regardless of whether or not external life circumstances back up that feeling.
One Law of Attraction author says this: “Belief that the miracle has already happened always comes before the miracle can be seen by all.” In other words, faith always precedes manifestation.
And it has to be this way if you think about it. Anything which is created has to be born in faith otherwise it could not be created at all. If a writer wants to have written a best-seller then he must first have faith that he has the talent of a best-selling writer. If a carpenter wants to have made a beautiful piece of furniture then he first has to believe that he is capable of creating such a piece. Without the faith that he is able to succeed, neither the writer nor the carpenter would even bother trying to achieve their goal.
Faith here is much more than an intellectual nodding of the head. It is more than a half-hearted affirmation that says, ‘Yes, maybe I could do it.’ True faith is a conviction – an unshakeable belief that says, ‘YES! I CAN DO IT!’ It contains energy and emotion and when you have that sort of faith then nothing is impossible.
The biggest problem most people face is generating that kind of rock-solid faith and conviction. They know that having faith works wonders and they know that they need to be totally confident in a positive outcome if they are to experience the manifestation of their desires. The trouble is that they don’t know how to get that kind of faith. Thus they do their best but the miracles, wonders and manifestations never quite happen. The aim of this new Power of Faith series is to solve that problem.
If you have worked through my series on Creative Visualization then you will have spent a good amount of time creating a vision for your future. In this follow-on series you will learn how to begin claiming that vision using two independent yet holistically associated techniques: the Uni-Pulse technique and the Kinetic Dominance technique. Both have long histories and can be found in various forms in a range of different belief systems. We will discuss each of these processes in detail in due course, but first we ought to talk a little about the idea of us deliberately ‘claiming’ our vision, as opposed to just waiting for it to manifest itself.
There is a common emphasis in modern society on spirituality as a primarily feminine energy. We are talking here in terms of Yin and Yang, and of feminine energy being passive, docile and receptive. Whilst these qualities are important, today’s exaggerated emphasis on the feminine, with little or no mention of the more aggressive, dominant and proactive masculine energy, has led to an equally common belief that all we can do is sit and think positively and wait for things to come to us. Whilst good things can and will come to us if we think positively on a consistent basis, sitting and waiting is not the most effective way to experience change in our lives.
Lots of people like to cite Jesus as being the ultimate historical example of spiritual empowerment, and they often refer to him in feminine terms – describing him as being meek, mild and submissive to God. Well, maybe he was all of these things at times, but when it came to working miracles, he invariably called masculine energy into play. According to the ancient Christian texts, when the local fishermen couldn’t catch anything, he didn’t pray and wait for the fish to swim ashore to him. Instead he spoke a word of faith, stood up, climbed on the boat and insisted that the fishermen try again. In other words, he took action and claimed his miracle.
The same happened with the feeding of the five thousand, the turning of water into wine and many of the other miracles which Jesus is said to have done. He rarely prayed for something and then sat back to wait for the universe to grant his desire, but he brought the masculine side of spirituality into play by taking action in accordance with his expectation of positive results. If we look at the miracle workers and manifestors in other traditions, the same key idea of using the proactive, dominating masculine energy is also very apparent in their demonstrations.
I believe that this is why many people today aren’t using the creative power of their thoughts to the fullest extent of their capabilities. Not because they are somehow lacking in ability (all of us have incredible levels of creative power that can be utilised) but because they are being taught to emphasise feminine energy to the detriment of the masculine.
The best way to create what you want in life is to take both feminine and masculine approaches simultaneously so that a perfect balance of yin and yang is achieved. This is what the miracle workers of the past did by combining inner work with outer work. They meditated and then acted. They prayed and then went out to make it happen.
Whilst feminine and masculine energy can both be powerful when used separately and individually, using both energies in unison magnifies the power of each, yielding a collective effect which is many times the arithmetical sum of the two.
The two techniques which I will give in my next two Thoughts are Things posts are designed to be used in unison so that this magnified effect is demonstrated in your life. The Uni-Pulse technique is one which primarily utilises the feminine energy, and the Kinetic Dominance technique primarily utilises the masculine energy. Each process is effective alone, but when used together the results are something that have to be experienced to be believed.
Here are Ten Rules for a Happy Life that you can start using immediately to improve your sense of happiness…
Do not depend on others
As much as possible, have confidence in yourself and do not compare yourself to others. Try not to be in need of others’ compliments to feel fulfilled. Do not mistake dependence for love. True love allows our loved ones to be free. The only force you should be depending on is the Creative Force (or God-Power or any other term you wish for the seed of Divinity) within you.
Rely on the creative force
Pursue your path, but know that along your path the Creative Force may have planned things for you which you did not expect. Accept these gifts graciously. The more open you stay on your path, the more ‘miracles’ will happen in your life.
Create harmony in your life
Step by step, and starting today, create more harmony in your everyday life. The next time somebody in your close environment – a child, partner, neighbour, or colleague – upsets you, take a deep breath and re-act with love and understanding.
Listen
Dedicate a little time each day just to yourself. Shut out the noise of the world and listen to the still small voice within. It will guide you in all that you do if you allow it to.
Be one with the creative force
Realise the strength there is in silence and enjoy the company of the Creative Force within as often as you can. This is the best thing you can ever do for yourself and the more your spiritual growth takes centre stage in your life, the more successful, happy, healthy and prosperous you will be in other areas of life.
Realise ‘The Truth’
Realise that “The Truth” simply does not exist. What is true for you and me may not necessarily be valid for somebody else. In this regard, share your ‘truth’ with others, but do not judge them for sharing and enjoying different truth.
Live from within
The more inner strength you gather and the more you become one with being alone, the more will you live from within. Outward influences will have less and less effect on you and you will instinctively make the right choices in your life.
Take obstacles as opportunities to learn
If your life would take its course without any challenges to face, there would be no learning process. The more you are willing to see obstacles as challenges from which you can learn, the easier it will be for you to overcome the so-called obstacles and see them as new opportunities for growth.
Face difficulties
Delaying the solving of difficulties results in unnecessary fuelling of energy into the problem, which will not let you rest until it is solved. Better to face it at once. The more you cultivate the habit of seeing obstacles as opportunities to learn, the less difficulties you will experience in your life.
Use your time wisely
Live each day as if it could be your last. Do not delay things you can do today, but on the other hand be aware of the relativity of time. Do not put yourself under pressure, because there is still so much you want to do. Do it one step at a time, and stay focused on what you are doing. Live in the now.
I will discuss each of these ten rules for a happy life in more detail in future posts, but right now you have enough information about each rule to start lifting yourself to a higher level of happiness. Enjoy!
There are three keys to working miracles in your life. Understand these three keys and you can begin to unlock your true potential as a spiritual being. The three keys to working miracles in your life are as follows:
1 – Recognise Your True Identity
You are not merely a human being, but a spiritual being. And you are not merely a spiritual being, but an aspect of what many traditions call God. Yes, when all is said and done our position is that you are God!
This understanding is an essential key to working miracles in your life, but it is one which many people have a problem with. This is because few people truly understand the nature of God, and so claiming to be God is seen as something blasphemous.
Contrary to popular opinion, God is not a cosmic Santa Claus who sits on a giant throne making a note of whether you are naughty or nice. God is the energy which makes all things possible.
Everything in this universe, be it a human being, a rock on the sea shore or a television set, is made up of molecules. Break these molecules down to their smallest components and all you have is pure energy. This is a scientific fact which any quantum physicist would be happy to confirm.
This means that, in effect, all that exists is energy. And since this energy is God, all things are God. Some items, such as a rock on the sea shore, are less conscious of their nature than others, but all things exist thanks to the energy which is God.
Saying that you are God does not, therefore, set you above everyone else and make you bent on achieving global domination. All it does is help you remember that everything in the universe is God, and that you, being a part of the universe, are God as well.
The seat you are sitting on is God. This screen you are looking at is God. The hand that rests on your computer mouse is God. You are God. Your goldfish is God. Your next door neighbour (like him or not) is God.
This is why almost all great spiritual leaders urged us to treat everything around us with respect: because everything is a part of the whole called God.
We are all part of the universe – which literally means one song. We are all musical notes in the one song, and no individual note is less important than the others. We are all God.
2 – Know that Limitations are Illusions
For a long time, people thought that the world was flat. This was a false limitation which had no basis in reality, but still made people avoid taking long journeys just in case they fell off the horizon! In the same way, many of the limitations you believe in are false and are restricting your life experience.
For example, you may believe that you have no talent to speak of. You would be wrong. Every single human being has at least one talent waiting to be developed, but unless you stop believing in your limitation you will never have enough confidence to try new things and actually find that talent.
In the same way, you may believe that money is scarce. If you believe in this limitation then you will never experience a state of wealth and financial prosperity. The fact is that money is everywhere. Believe that to be so and you will experience it. You will find money in the street. Other people will give you money ‘out of the blue’. A new job will be offered to you. It may manifest itself in any number of ways, but as soon as you believe in abundance, money will go out of its way to get into your hands!

By consciously affirming that you are God, limitations become silly. God has no limitations, therefore you have no limitations. All you need to do is learn how to start working with your latent God-Power in a deliberate, focused manner. Once you have done that, you will see the limitations in your life for what they are – mere illusions – and the miraculous will become commonplace.
3 – Know that Emotion is God-Power
Emotion is, when all is said and done, Energy in Motion. In other words, emotion is God-Power at work.
Some people let their emotions rule them. They burst into tears at the slightest thing. They feel constantly confused and ‘out of their depth’ in a variety of situations. This discomfort is caused because they are not in control of the power of emotion, but are swept to and fro like a reed in a hurricane.
A few people, however, understand the true power of emotion, and experience miracles on a daily basis. These are people who have learned to control the hurricane and actually use it to help them achieve their goals.
If a person deliberately develops the emotion of being rich, he will begin to think, talk and act like he is rich. He will know on an intuitive level that he is already rich. The end result is that he will become rich.
If a person deliberately develops the emotions of being happy, he will begin to think, talk and act like he is happy. He will therefore begin to experience happiness automatically.
Emotion is an awesome power which, when handled properly as we will explain in future posts, is absolutely unstoppable. It is something which can guarantee you the life of your dreams.
Applying The Three Keys
1 – Let the fact that you are God sink deep into your consciousness. Look at everything around you and realise that everything is just energy. How does this way of looking at the world make you feel?
2 – Be aware of any limitations you believe in, then set about getting rid of them. As a spiritual being nothing is impossible for you! Nothing! Once you realise this and accept it, you are ready to start working some real miracles!
3 – Start to use your emotions deliberately. If you are depressed, start developing the emotion of happiness. If you are financially lacking, start developing the emotion of being wealthy. If you feel tense or worried, start developing the emotion of being happy and joyful.
