( Cont’d) … How To Manifest Wealth

To start from the beginning of this post, click here

Scientists study the physical world in order to ascertain the metaphysical principles that apply to how things unfold in our universe. They theorize about how things that have happened did happen. A theory becomes accepted only when direct experiment proves that application produces a manifest reality.

Once the process (the unfolding) is understood and proven through application, science becomes technology. Technology is applied science. Power is applied knowledge. Knowledge, by itself, produces nothing, not even wisdom, let alone practical results. It is all in the application.

Where can you learn the right application? You can experiment to see if your personal theory will work or you can observe those whose experiments have produced the desired results and then utilize the same techniques, the same process.

The power to create or manifest wealth comes from applying the knowledge of the process of creation. The knowledge of the critical elements in a process do not create the process. It is the proper and purposeful use or application of the elements that produce the results.

I can tell you again that thought plus desire combined with belief plus intent create your results. You might completely understand and agree with that; but if you do not apply it, then it is useless knowledge, like books gathering dust on a library shelf.

The process of manifestation is:

it begins in the ideal (causal);

it moves into the virtual;

it becomes real;

it becomes manifest (effectual).

The elements of the idealization are: Thought, desire, belief, intent, commitment, insight.

The elements of the virtualization are: Visualization, affirmation, gratitude, congruity, planning.

The elements of the realization are: Your words and your deeds.

So now you know. Now you must apply your knowledge.

Idealize it: Think the right thoughts. Desire the result. Believe in the actuality. Intend for it to be. Commit to making it so. Understand what it will mean.

Virtualize it: See it as real. Affirm it to be. Be thankful for its existence. Harmonize yourself with it. Attract it. Plan for it to be.

Realize it: Speak the truth of it. Act to enact it.

Enjoy having it.

Want to be wealthy?

Think about wealth and abundance, NOT about lack and limitation.

Desire wealth; lust after it; don’t just wish for it.

Believe in it and your right to it. Stop believing in scarcity. There is none. (When you have nothing, you have an abundance of nothing. When you have mediocrity, you have an abundance of mediocrity)

Clarify your intentions. What is your intent in thinking that thought, in doing that deed? Commit 100% to becoming wealthy.

Understand (gain insight into) what wealth is and what it means to you.

Visualize your wealth. See yourself as wealthy.

Be rich. Affirm to yourself and others that you are wealthy and that you deserve to be.

Be grateful for your abundance. Show your appreciation. Attract wealth by being worthy of it.

Plan. Set specific goals and follow your game plan.

Stay true to your ideals. Talk your truth and then walk the talk.
——————————————————————————–

Take some hints from the universe: It is constantly creating new space.

Why? To make room for more.

Make some space in your life for more to show up. Get rid of what you don’t need. If those thoughts don’t serve you—dump them. If those beliefs serve no useful purpose—junk them. If that activity is not producing wealth—stop it. Why exactly do you watch TV? Are you going to get wealthy watching who wants to be a millionaire? No.

You will get wealthy by applying the proven technology of wealth creation. Of course, only if you think so and only if you believe it.

AND WHAT ABOUT ACTING? HOW IMPORTANT IS “WORKING”, MAKING PHISICAL EFFORTS, IN THE PROCESS OF MANIFESTATION?

4. - July 16, 2007

Someone said it is simple and easy- yeh right:)

I would just add : find your passion and put it in service. Follow your own instincts.

This is very well done article. Thank you

I agree Lucia, find your passion, set your intention and put it into service.

When you intentionally choose to focus on your passion and to control your own beliefs, thoughts, emotions and actions then you can tap into divine energy, which is in everything, and bring the things you desire into your life.

This is a process and requires action, as Leslie says above, “talk your truth then walk the talk.”

I so agree with you about putting it into service. It is your willingness to be always contributory in the lives of others that will bring the greatest abundance into your life. So share who you are with others and they will be attracted to your energy and your willingness to share with them and enrich your life in immeasurable ways.

Love and Light
Ann

Hello Mark,

You simply do not know what you are talking about.

There are forces at work we simply are not aware. 2 years ago I was a disbeliever but now I know for FACT many things have just turned up (out of thin air as to speak) which cannot be accounted as luck or even freak events. Obviously, you need to learn the fundamentals and learn how to construct complete sentences.

14. - July 17, 2007

Hi Mark,

“But you not get there by desire . Hard work good contacts and a little luck”

This quote of yours is what we’ve been brainwashed to believe since birth, doesn’t mean it’s true. People once belived without question that the Earth was flat! They were wrong. We think we have it all figured out in this physical plane but there are many things that remain a mystery, even you must admit.

So what does it hurt to be more positive in your outlook, to have hope, dreams, and live in the moment while giving thanks for all that’s good in your life? One’s attitude and outlook certainly hold heavy weight in who they become and how their lives unfold.

Hard work and luck…really, it’s propaganda we’ve been fed to benefit others. Focus on you and your outlook, then sit back and watch the magic happen. I live this every day and experience great wealth in all areas of my life!

Much love and laughter to all!

15. - July 17, 2007

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS IN THIS BLOG. I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN FROM PEOPLE LIKE MICHELLE, ANN, JIMMY AND LUCIA MITRO.
I will live this day with love and laughter. Just wait for me…and expect miracles!!!!
Love to all of you

16. - July 18, 2007

Hm.. I think Mark is correct, and so are the rest of us. There are people who turn their life around following the guru’s guides, while there are people who still remains the same.

The only difference between those who succeed and those who are not is their attitude.

So that’s why I said Mark is correct, because he does not believe, therefore he will not become successful following those guides (if you do not believe, you will not persevere, and if you do not persevere, you will never be able to complete the journey) and those guides are a load of shit to him. True indeed.

But for those who believed and follow, these guides are pure gold.

Just persevere.. you do not know whether the finishing line is right after this hurdle, but you will never find out if you give up now!

Cheers!

Yes that is truth¡ I´ve got many things using them but..
Take care when you ask.

There are many ways to the top of the mountain. There is the path that has sharp stones that cut your feet. There is the winding path that has many side routes and distractions.

There is also the cable car that ends up at the 5 star hotel, complete with panoramic views and restaurants.

It’s up to all of us which route we take but you gotta climb the mountain to get to the top.

The alternative is to stand at the bottom saying to yourself ” Wow, I’ll bet the view from the top is pretty but…I can’t get there.”

It’s all about language that you use to yourself and with others

Rest assured the view from the top is magnificent and there are an infinite number of mountains to climb.

Many people miss out on the “realization” part.

Many people sometimes feel that by talking about their successes or their talents that they are somehow being arrogant, rude or are bragging.

It stems from low self-image.

You wont believe how much your success will improve when you begin to talk success as if it is already a reality.

Try this exercise:

Whenever you are alone somewhere (maybe while driving) just imagine you are being interviewed on Oprah or Larry King or some other talk show.

Imagine that you are being interviewed on your successes.

This will make every part of you believe that you are a success.

Try this, and watch how much you will increase you success.

I believe there is such a thing as ‘timing’ which means that certain things that have to fall into place, in a kind of order before you reach what you desire.We live in a system, so we affect and are affected by everyone and everything around us.Once we realise that we are all one in Love then we can exert our power to influence our own welfare and that of others.

Imagine a world where all 7 billion people are using the limitless wealth techniques touted by the current ‘wealth and abundance gurus’. Do you truly expect the earth to tolerate such an insane amount of using up its land mass to build more homes, to buy more and more material gadgets and to continue cluttering the earth with what we discard because it loses its temporary ability to give us pleasure? When is the human species going to WAKE UP to its insane willingness to follow such a destructive illusion? It’s time for a massive change in the evolution of the mind. As a species we now have access to the brilliance of intellect that can provide all people with the sense of peace and happiness that all this insane addiction to wealth is attempting to accomplish, yet failing to do over and over again. Yes, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results. How about if mankind in general wakes up and takes action on a new order of civilization and socialization. HINT: true peace and joy has nothing to do with individual material wealth and everything to do with substituting competition with cooperation.
In masse we are still allowing our primitive brains to direct the outcomes. We are simply more tactful in being predators and scavengers. However, our minds are now advanced enough to imagine and glorify life in a much grander way. Is anyone else willing to join me in promoting this new order of life on earth? It takes boldness, genius, and true heart to step into the majesty that is now available to us as a conscious species. Who of you can be that true to yourself and to your children and their children? Who of you can muster the courage to enter this pure awareness and create new life from this integral sense of our highest glory?

22. - July 21, 2007

Mark… I’ll prove it to you now.

Go to the kitchen and get a pot, fill it with water half way.

Get some vegetable oil and pour some in the pot of water.

Get a spoon and stir it up.

You will see all the little bubbles of oil separate. If you keep stirring (changing the condition of the water) the oil will stay separated as long as you stir. That movement is the same thing as doubt or indecision or “change”.

If you leave it alone, if you let it stand still, if you decide to let it be, if you do nothing but watch. All the oil in the pot of water will come back together again, just as it was at the source, in the bottle of oil, or in our case, in our heart.

The oil is like us and our ideas. They all come from us and if you just stop stirring (doubting) they will all come back to you exactly as they were before you poured then out of your heart. If you think it doesn’t work, and then it doesn’t, you’ve proved my point for me. If we keep stiring they (our desires) will never come together as a whole (in our reality and our minds).

If all we do is decide what our “oil” is, all we have to do is stand aside and watch. All the “oil” (or our idea) will come right to us, and all we have to do is stop stirring, stop doubting and stop changing our minds all the time.

If you don’t belive that, then you don’t believe your own eyes…

P.S. there is really no such thing as doubt… only belief in something else.

23. - July 21, 2007

IF YOU BELIEVE STRONG ENOUGH THAT IS WITH OUT ANY DOUBT WHAT SO EVER AND DO NO WAIVER OR CHANGE YOU THOUGHTS ABOUT IT THEN YOU SHALL HAVE WHAT EVER IT IS YOU DESIRE AS STATED IN THE BIBLE. CHECK IT OUT ITS FOR REAL

24. - July 22, 2007

You have laid down simple paths to Happiness.

Thank you for your good deeds and keep it coming :)

25. - July 22, 2007

Great article. Thank you.

I find that many are challenged these four particularly:

*Clarify your intentions.
*Be grateful for your abundance.
*Plan. Set specific goals and follow your game plan.
*Stay true to your ideals.

Namaste, Thea

26. - July 22, 2007

Have you ever noticed that there are some people who have one bad experience after another happen to them? They are so focused on bad experiences they keep attracting them. I have always known that “attitude” is everything, but until “The Secret” and all the others that have spawned from that, my feelings on that subject have been affirmed. Everywhere you look now there is proof and everyone is talking about it. I feel sorry for people who can’t turn their negativity around.

27. - July 23, 2007

This was a great article. Simple and to the point. So often writers tend to make it very complicated.

Thanks for the interview tip Koorosh. I certainly want to try that technique myself.

28. - July 23, 2007

Thank you Marilissa for so eloquently expressing my feelings. The emphasis on personal wealth seems still to be a symtom of our insecurity and emptiness–that sense of separation from the Earth and each other. Our (unfortunate) belief in “the survival of the fittest” has fueled this insane competitive path of destruction.
Joy and fulfillment come from belonging and contributing to a greater whole, from feeling connected and appreciated.
I’m sorry, I just can’t get Passionate about a big house or new car or grasping for more stuff and I don’t care to be King of the Hill……. I do feel Passionate about saving our majestic Mother Earth (we may just have time, if we make the leap), I do Hold a Dream of a world where we believe in the “flourishment of the most cooperative”. and are able to truly celebrate the incredible diversity, beauty, and majesty of creation.
Imagine if we all used these techniques to manifest joy and harmony and health and happiness for ALL, (starting with our Planet and all the wondrous beings we share it with) to manifest what we all truly yearn for, unconditional acceptance and appreciation.
I hope on the “clarify your intentions” step, the very first Passionate intention from our hearts is FOR THE GOOD OF ALL. if it’s not, it’s for the good of no one.

29. - July 23, 2007

This is response to Maralissa’s point which is a valid concern but I feel misses what the law of attraction is really about.

I have been an environmentalist, humanitarian, animal protector actively campaigning for these causes for years. It wasn’t until I understood the law of attraction that I realised how by the majority of people BEING and THINKING poor keeps the less ethicallyminded wealthy corporations powerful and constantly pillaging the earth. It is by making people with ethics financially rich that we will have real CLOUT to change things even FASTER than they already are changing. I understand completely where you are coming from with your concerns but they only generate further concerns, sap your energy to produce a better outcome to the situation in the world. It is this ‘distraction from positivity’ that in fact empowers those currently pillaging the earth because it means we’re not using our efforts and energies instead to provide a SOLUTION, which is what we need. The law of attraction is the perfect vehicle to transport us to a happy, healthy and environmentally friendly planet!

There are a few other points:
1. Remember that not everyone WANTS THE SAME THINGS!! Not everyone using the law of attraction and benefitting from LOA material wants material, non-environmentally goods.

2. Wanting to be RICH is an illusion in itself - the main goal is never richdom it is happiness. Even those who are deluded and believe that financial abundance will bring them happiness STILL WANT HAPPINESS AS THE END RESULT - even if they don’t have the ability to ponder the deeper meaning in what they are doing. The ‘problem’ that most people have about people who want to be rich simply stems from a JUDGEMENT about how people should live that probably stems from religious teachings way back (and continued today), and nonetheless, still affects society’s behaviour and attitudes towards wealth today. It is this very thinking that keeps the rich rich and the poor poor.

Aiming to be wealthy using LOA principles has therefore very little to do with money creation, it is simply using financial wealth as an EXTERNAL indication that we have changed our SELF! This is similar to Feng Shui in this sense whereby you actively change your outer self (your home) using affirmations to change your self.

Aiming for financial abundance when you have never done so is a tool in itself to PUSH YOU PAST YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND FORCE YOURSELF TO CHANGE YOUR THINKING!! It does not mean changing to brainwashed thoughts of material riches discarding everything that matters, such as your family, loved ones, the environment etc - in fact the reverse. By changing our thinking we shift ourselves into another paradigm where we can open our mind and learn more. It does not mean that we have forgotten what we already learned - about the environment’s issues for example. It’s just the ability to see things from a different perspective. An extra perspective - which can only be helpful.

Financial wealth gives generous people more wealth to give while stingy people won’t give anyway, whether rich or poor. [That is no judgement on stingy people by the way!]

Being wealthy will only make those who care about the environment ever more able to tackle it and spread the word about environmentalism by setting up environmentally friendly businesses and even through gaining political clout.

The earth is currently experiencing the most amazing changes from a consciousness perspective and these changes will continue to improve the way mankind looks upon our beautiful planet and Universe(s). If we change our thinking and make out thoughts positive ones then our attention will eventually, and naturally, be drawn to view all things, all that is, with love, care and appreciation. And that means our environment too.

Remember that what we focus on we attract, so if we focus on a plundered planet we will get that. If we focus on a positive environmental and spiritual future for our planet we will get that. It is focusing on the solutions rather than the problems that gets us where we all want to be.

Thank you Maralissa for bringing this important issue to our attention. :D
Love and Light

Rebecca

Wow! What an interesting discussion this article has provoked. Many of you have responded to Mark’s comments and there is a lot I could add. However, I’ll keep it short and simply say that no one can sell you a dream. Your dream must originate from you and when you believe in your dream the seemingly impossible becomes possible.

I agree with Rebecca that not everyone wants to be wealthy for the same reasons. There are many individuals who use their wealth and their ability to manifest wealth to do a great deal of good in the world and that fuels their desire to be wealthy.

Wishing you abundance in all areas of your life.

31. - July 24, 2007

What are we looking for in life ?

Is it not that we are continuously looking for pieces of happiness or bits of fulfillment through our achievements of possessions or attainments of positions ? But at any stage can we for sure say that now finally we are totally happy or fulfilled ? The Law of Impermanence comes into play after every such achievement to make it lose its charm. We start looking for the next thing which seems to take us further in our quest for the seemingly ultimate point of happiness or fulfillment. We continue our search even though many of us have acquired more than enough possessions or attained positions till our last breath, but always the final step seems to be the next one. This process becomes our natural way of living and we start believing that this is how life goes. We never question that if we have got evolved with an underneath hunger for total happiness or fulfillment there may be some way to reach there. i.e., the solution may be existing if the problem is there !

To be happy or feel fulfilled we desire to live in abundance. Some one critical may ask what do you mean by abundance ? Is it possession of huge wealth, money, materials or attainment of some highest status position that one can imagine during the physical life period on this earth ? Till the mid age such a belief may drive the course, but in the later part of life many may get a glimpse of some realization that there seems to be something else that should be chased for the ultimate happiness or fulfillment. A very keen attention even at this point in time may point that the path to final happiness or fulfillment seems to be different.

Let us put a question to ourselves. Who is trying to be happy or fulfilled ? Definitely the answer is “me” or “myself”. If we ask some analyst to elaborate “me” further, the finer elements are likely to be “my body” or “my mind”. If it is “my body” or “my mind” then who is saying this ? There seems to be some “I” underneath who is identifying itself with this “my body” or “my mind”. On a deep attention, this “I” appears to have its own existence, as with an effort if we are able to shut our mind for a while we can vividly feel that this “I” is still there and it is not the body as well. But in our natural state this “I” gets predominantly identified by “my body” and “my mind” and cannot dominate its separate own existence. If this “I” has some own self, it is unable to show its characteristics and it is always expressed by the colors of the conditioned “my body” and “my mind”. It is a fact of life that “my body” and “my mind” are ever changing entities and more so they are conditioned by our upbringing forces, collective social and national psyche and so on. Then this inner “I” is always forced to show the characteristics of “my body” and “my mind” which is false as far as the true characteristics of this “I” are concerned. Hence, when we say “myself” the “I” is always forced to express its “false self”, i.e., the colors of the conditioned “my body” and “my mind”. The true nature of “I”, the “true self” is always hidden.

The interesting part of the question now is : who we are trying to give happiness or fulfillment throughout our life period ? Surely the answer is : to the “false self”, the “I” identified by conditioned “my body” and “my mind”. Whatever we may offer to this “my mind” or “my body” to make them happy, they seem to get temporarily happy or fulfilled but shortly they are sure to go to unfulfilled mode because by then they are changed for a different demand. We, in our feelings, look for happiness in the next venture again.Therefore, if we apply the fantastic Law of Attraction to a false entity ( false self ), we may create something unpredictable unless we control to direct the forces to the “true self”.

The question is that should we not first make our natural state of being to always identify and remain with our “true self” by whatever means, efforts, practices and so on and then apply the Law of Attraction ? Is it not that in this process there is a possibility that each element, whatever small or big that we attract may give its total worth individually and at the same time we remain totally happy or feel totally fulfilled? The world will then be a far better place to dream our dreams and fulfill them with total happiness.

32. - July 31, 2007

Good day …
I believe society is so stuck on failure/success, right/wrong … that when a universal principle comes along people lose the true vision: it’s only about what’s right for them. Naysayers and balloon-bursters will always find a way to dispel concepts when it doesn’t feel right for them. They will go to the ends of the earth to ruin a belief system just to prove themselves right. One person’s theology, principles, belief system, and choice of ice cream doesn’t mean anyone else has to believe it. But don’t take the joy, magic, and enlightenment away. Allow the individual to be in it for themselves. No one touting this concept is pounding on doors with pamphlets, trying to force you to change. What is wrong with people trying to find things in this convoluted, often dark world (especially since 9/11 when the rug was pulled out from under us, and we’ve yet to regain our footing) to make themselves happy? That’s why we’re lucky to be in this society, because it presents choices. There’s no one hat that fits everyone, no one principle that fits everyone. There are thousands of belief systems throughout the world, and too many sourpuss, beligerent, naysaying people believe that there’s only one [mental or spiritual] shoe size. Com’on people … quit raining on people’s parade and allow them their own personal joy without recrimination and loathing. You want to be miserable and kick a cat? Be my guest, but for the rest of us who want to find reasons to be joyful — whether it be with affirmations, food, yoga, sex, movies, walking in the park, The Secret (or not-so-secret), a good book — whatever trips our triggers — leave us alone to enjoy OUR LIVES without judgment. ‘K? Pretty simple concept, when you think about it.

33. cordie - August 14, 2007

If we are not happy in a Hyundai now, what makes us think that a Mercedez will make us happy later? Our attititude about our nowness depends soley on us. What brings me joy is knowing that I’m doing the best I can at what I’m dong or being at any given moment. This is a very hard state to stay in, but the more its practiced, the more joy I feel. We know instinctively when there is a need to change something about ourselves. We can feel it. When our actions are not in sync with our feelings (either conscious or subconcsious) we cause stress on the mind and body, which will result in some type of discomfort. If we practice trying to tune into our true desires and acting in ways to attain such, we are on our way.

Love all,

Leslie clearly wrote:

Idealize it: Think the right thoughts. Desire the result. Believe in the actuality. Intend for it to be. Commit to making it so. Understand what it will mean.

Virtualize it: See it as real. Affirm it to be. Be thankful for its existence. Harmonize yourself with it. Attract it. Plan for it to be.

Realize it: Speak the truth of it. Act to enact it.

That last line, “Act to enact it,” is what most people have traditionally thought is the only thing one has to do in order to manifest things. What such people don’t realize is that if you are just taking action toward something, and NOT thinking about it, planning it out, committing to it and believing it can be so, then they might as well be spinning in circles. That is actually what alot of people tend to do with most of their lives anyway, they spin in circles as they make fruitless action after fruitless action while never stopping to actually think about what they really want and why they want it.

Actually it is the one mistake most people make - they only take action. They don’t think about what they really want. They don’t feel the essence of what they want and harmonize themselves to it. They don’t visualize or feel what it will be like to have it. They don’t actually build up belief that they can actually have it. And they definitely don’t plan out or map what actions will actually get what they want.

Most people rather just randomly take actions in hopes that they will get “lucky” and that those random actions will just make what they want land in their lap.

But it is all that preparation before hand that gets you ready to take the right actions that actually get you what you want. Without all the prep work, the action is a bit pointless. It’s would be like forgetting to prepare and cut up food before you put it into the pan and cook it. If you forget that vital step you will end up with a mass of uncut, burnt food or worse yet, a pan that is hot but empty. And if you look at the way most people live their lives, you can see that thy are cooking with empty pans.

Here is hoping more people remember to prepare the food for their soul before they start cooking that gourmet meal they want their life to be. ;-)
