Feeling by Valerie Dawson

The more you expect financial abundance to clear all problems from your life, the further away from true
abundance you end up drifting.

Not because vast sums of money wouldn't improve your lifestyle - but because money alone cannot give you what you truly crave, which are feelings of happiness, satisfaction, security and peace of mind.

Those things must come from within, not from numbers on a bank statement or balance sheet.

Ironically, the more miserable you feel without wealth, the Law of Attraction will continue to return experiences and situations in which you will feel miserable - even if a large bundle of cash were to be delivered to your doorstep tomorrow.

To attract those happy feelings and the circumstances that match them, including more money, all you have to do is focus on feeling that way now.

The more you do it, the richer your life is going to get in every possible way.

Affirmation: I am becoming richer and richer from the inside out.

What's the story that you are telling ?

Continuing to tell stories of shortage only, continues to contradict your desire for abundance, and you cannot have it both ways:

You cannot focus upon unwanted and receive wanted.

You cannot focus upon stories about money that make you feel uncomfortable and allow into your experience what makes you feel comfortable.

A different story will bring different results: My thoughts are the basis for the attraction of all things that I consider to be good, which includes enough money, and health, for my comfort and joy.


--- Abraham

The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."

Thoughts on Time by Valerie Dawson

Time has no meaning in itself unless we choose to give it significance.
~ Leo Buscaglia

As you work on attracting abundance into your life, you may be tempted to see the process as a linear one where you gradually transition to a richer state of being day by day and month by month.

While this may appear to be what happens externally, the energetic process is more like peeking through a curtain into a different reality that exists at the same time as your current reality.

At first you only peek through for a moment, then bounce back. Then your peeks get longer and more consistent, until finally you transition fully to your new, richer reality.

While you are still working on it, however, you can hop back and forth between these two realities with the passage of very little "time" as you have come to know it.

Just as you can tune your radio dial from station to station in seconds, the journey from scarcity to abundance can also happen quickly and easily.

As you continually improve your thoughts and dissolve limiting beliefs, you will naturally become more attuned to that "other" reality - the one where you have plenty of money and live a rich, joyful, brilliant life.


Affirmation: All realities exist here and now - I just have to choose the one I want and attune to it.

The Awesome Force of Your Will Projected By Stuart Wilde,
Excerpt from "The Trick to Money is Having Some"

What I learned from the European occultists is that the greatest power available to us humans, is our will when projected correctly.

The difference between will and intention is that, for many people intention is just a mental act - a kind of wishful thinking - whereas the force of will, projected from your consciousness, contains not only your thoughts and desires but also the enthusiasm of your own Life Force.

Your will, projected correctly, will contain that vital ingredient, your spirit - the very essence of what you are.
The force of that spirit, clearly defined, will deliver to you the focus of your will, by virtue of the fact that the clarity of its concentration, is honed to such an uncluttered purity, that it cuts right through reality and fires the full weight of its power upon any target.

Remember that your consciousness is contained in a sea of consciousness, which is basically all the energy and thoughtforms of the world around you. For the most part the energy of people around you will be weak and ill-defined. What little power they have is often undermined by emotion.

In that pea-soup of mumbling and grumbling, along comes the magician: powerful, clear, uncluttered by yearnings or fanciful ramblings of the imagination. Detached as he is from the emotions of humanity, he stands on a launch platform that is already a rung or two higher than the crowd. From there he fires his will into the circumstances of life, knowing that his power is unstoppable.

How could the Universal Law of life deny this man? It can't. His power is too great. His will is uncluttered by any thought of deserving, of good and bad, of having or not having. It is focused solely on what he wants.

His desire is not delivered because of any higher selection process, rather it comes to him solely through the force of his demand. It is because he wants it, because that thought is laced in his will, empowered by the very spirit of his being, that it cannot be denied him.

[winston]

continue ...

When first confronted by this idea, I had a natural reaction against the aggression needed to reach that certain level of intent.

It seemed to me that somehow it was "wrong" to harness one's power in occult terms, to force life to hand over one's every wish and whim.

But gradually I got used to the idea and developed a theory of morality around my particular method. Soon I realized that what was important to me were my achievements - the things that I knew I had to complete in this lifetime. How I got those things, providing I did not infringe on others, was irrelevant.

The points to consider are, what do you want and how much energy are you prepared to exert to get what you want? If the level of enthusiasm you are willing to commit to your quest is not great, then obviously you don't want what you think you do, or at best your quest is not that important to you.

But if some aspect is very, very special to you, it becomes sacred by virtue of its integrity. Then the level of your commitment to that ideal is vital, for you know that the whole reason for your life is contained and centered in that one quest or achievement.

If this is so, you are required by its very sacredness to exert every fiber of your being, through physical effort, mental acuity or occult power, to deliver the focus of your intent.

[winston]

continue ...

Somewhere in your life there will be an overriding theme to your quest, some part of your desire which cannot be denied without a terrible cost to the very essence of what you are.

Are you going to ignore it, or do you have the courage of your commitment and the confidence to demand that life, humanity, or circumstances give you what you want, with no other excuse, reason nor apology, other than that you demand it?

The point is, if your intention is forceful and your will is clearly defined people line up to give you what you want.

You have to have confidence in yourself. You have to be able to believe in your own power. If you have the slightest doubt about your worthiness it takes you immediately from infinite possibilities to a more sparse result.

Imagine the tiger in the forest. Does it wonder if the deer on the path is his? Is there any question of the tiger's worthiness?

Being inter-connected as all things are, the eternal Tao sustains itself. The little creatures give themselves up to the tiger as nature gave of itself to sustain the creatures. Perfect balance is maintained.

The only thing to watch out for is the danger of going over the top and taking undue advantage of others or getting carried away by the ego.

In a world where everyone manipulates or controls everyone else, wouldn't it be nice if you could become a success story without having to resort to the same mucky techniques?

[winston]

continue ...

As you concentrate upon yourself and your life, you will soon become much more powerful than 99% of those with whom you deal.

You should take care to temper your energy and not get carried away by the wealth or the position you find yourself in. If you don't watch carefully it is likely that sooner or later you will self-destruct.

Or worse still, you might achieve your every wish and whim but look back on your life and see ugliness, see that you achieved your quest in material terms but failed to translate those material benefits into an honorable code of living or spiritual essence.

The whole trick to money is balance. Balance at a thousand a month or balance at a million a month. The great value of that balance is that it underpins the spiritual you and allows the inner beauty and creativity to come out. That is why for most people money is the one lesson - other than love perhaps - that we are here to learn.

You should sit down with your loved ones and really discuss your financial needs so that each of you can define what he or she wants and what each one's level of intention is.

Then you can tailor your hopes and dreams to suit your intention and you can see if the level of your projected will is going to be strong enough to deliver whatever it is that you want.

If your intention is not really that high you will have to accept that as fact and you may have to adjust what you expect from life.

Alternatively, you can work on your intention through concentration and discipline, to make it stronger. Then once it is strong the force of your will projected into life will guarantee the delivery of your heart's desire.

Methods to Manifest by Valerie Dawson

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own.
~ Benjamin Disraeli

Have you ever noticed that there seem to be dozens of methods that can be used to attract abundance, like visualization, affirmations, scripting, vision boards and the like?

Have you taken time to figure out which of these methods might work best for you personally?

One of the best ways to find out is by asking the universe to show you. You might word your request like this: "Universe, I would love to become proficient at attracting and allowing more abundance into my life; please show me the most effective ways to do that."

Meditate on the question daily and keep alert for any clues that might appear to you. Before long you may feel a resonance with a specific technique, or an insight may simply pop into your head spontaneously and you'll know immediately that it's right for you.

You can even ask the same question periodically to ensure you're still using the methods that will continue to yield results.

Affirmation: I can feel which manifestation methods will work best for me.
