Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 God is my source. He is within me and is my abundance. The flow of life and love is endless. I feel God's light and positive energy flowing through my head, through my body and out to the world and back. There is no beginning and no end. The supply and abundance is infinite! " Prayer is not a mere petition addressed to God in the hope that He will give us money, or even bread. Of course, it is all right to pray for money and bread. But it is more important to pray that the spirit of abundance fill your heart and mind. One should pray for the consciousness that 'all that the Father has is mine.' Pray that the bounty of the Universe, the wealth of Heaven and earth so fill you that you feel the riches of your true estate as an actual inner possession. " - E. V. Ingraham • • • The key to living prosperously is to learn each of the following steps and to make a determined effort to follow through. 1. Needs are not the issue. Too often a person will focus on their needs and ask God to fulfill them. All that focusing on needs is a waste of time and of mental energy. It is trying to do something on your own that is based in a belief in lack. God cannot prosper you if your mind is filled with lack and fear. But God will prosper you when you have a consciousness of God. 2. God has a plan that makes life meaningful and provides for your earthly needs. Have you really tuned in to God's plan for your life? It is not that God wants you to adhere to some specific things, but that there is a divine intention for you to follow. When you do follow that, you are prospered more easily without the usual stress and strain. 3. The pearl of great price is an awareness of God. What are you aware of more than anything else, especially when it comes to your prosperity, or lack thereof? Sometimes, people may search " in all the wrong places " for the pearl of great price only to be disappointed. But when they look within, it is always found. The pearl of abundance is within you now. It is the awareness of the Kingdom of God within you. 4. Your earthly needs are met not as you give attention to them, but as you give attention to God. As stated in #1 above, if you are to be truly prospered in the easiest way, your attention must be upon God, the Source. It is God Who prospers you, not thoughts of lack and limitation, and certainly not fear or anxiety. God is love and He loves to prosper you. All He asks is your full attention. 5. God does not fulfill needs. If God fulfilled needs, everyone would be abundantly prospered all the time because so many people's minds are cluttered with needs. God does fulfill a consciousness of abundance. In other words, when your mind and heart are centered in the abundance of God's substance-energy, and fully conscious of this all-providing presence, then there are no needs, except one: To pray for wisdom in using all your new abundance wisely and lovingly! 6. God is the Source. If you have been in New Thought for any time at all, you are aware of this primary teaching. Too often people will mistakenly believe that something in the world is the source of their supply i.e., government, relative, husband/wife, friend, job, company. That, of course, is never true. They are channels and should never be thought of, or looked to, as the source of your supply. God is the Source, and God is always within and around you. 7. A Consciousness of God is Your Supply. Often, someone will think of God as being their supply. That is okay, but it is not wholly true. The Truth is: Your awareness or consciousness of God is your supply. This means to have your mind full of the presence of God only, and to know that your mind is the avenue through which your rich good flows. What do you have a consciousness of? THE PRINCIPLE OF ABUNDANCE Your outer world of form and experience is a reflection of your inner world of thoughts and feelings. As above, so below. As within, so without. That is the Law. The greater your awareness of the Presence of God within you, the more that Presence fills your consciousness. That is the Law. The deeper your understanding of Spirit as the Source, Substance and Activity of your supply, the more permanently that Truth will be etched in your consciousness. That is the Law. It is your spiritual consciousness — your Knowledge of the Presence of God within you as total and complete fulfilment — that interprets itself as every form or experience in your world. That is the Law. THE 40 DAY PROSPERITY PLAN (according to Randolph Price " The Abundance Book " ) Here is a program in order to carry out and reach an abundant prosperity in your life and your businesses. It is necessary to do it for 40 days so that your conscious carries out and recognizes the truth. An interruption during the 40 days period would stop the energetic current which is created around the idea of abundance. Thus, it is necessary that you pledge sincerely to follow this program each day during the 40 days period: if you miss one day, it is necessary that you begin again from the beginning and until you completed the 40 days without interruption. Here are the different steps that you have to follow: 1. Determine a specific date from which you will begin this program, for example at the beginning of week. Count 40 days starting from this date on your calendar and surround the date of completion. 2. Then take a few days in order to prepare your " Letter of Abundance " . The letter should contain the following: • material life • family life • love life • professional life • spiritual life • health What are the aspects you wish to part from? (Bad habits, features of character, anxiety and fear: your human nature) Some principles to formulate your sentences: • Formulate sentences at the present and not with conditional or future. • Formulate affirmation as precise as possible (with all the details which seem important to you) but avoid limiting yourself by quoting the name of people, places, money sums or dates: but nevertheless be precise on the things which you wish deeply! • Formulate sentences which bring one positive thought (for example if you are sick, write " I am in good health " and if you have debts, write " I am free of debts " ). • You formulate the things from which you wish to separate (bad habits, features of character, anxiety and fear: your human nature): write: " I give up… " When you are certain that the letter is complete, seal it and do not look at it during the 40 days of the plan of Abundance. 1. At the first day of the program, note the following assertion in your spiritual journal: • " This day (insert the date), I cease believing in the visible money as my supply and my support, and I view the material world such as it truly is… simply a representation of my old beliefs. I believed in the power of the money and therefore surrender my God-given power and authority to a materiel belief. I believed in the possibility of lacks, thus causing a separation in my conscience of the Source of my Abundance. I believed in the mortality of the man and his carnal conditions; and through this faith gave man and human conditions power over me. I believed in the mortal illusion created the collective consciousness of error of thoughts and in doing so, I have limited the Unlimited. No more of that! This day I renounce my so called human condition and proclaim my Divine inheritance as a Being of God. This day I recognize God and only God as my substance, my supply and my supports. " 1. There are 10 affirmations on the principle of Abundance (hereafter). Read an affirmation a day per day. This means that you will read during the total duration of the program four times the whole list. 2. The affirmation of the day will be read twice per day during at least 15 min. with each time (morning and the evening). Meditate on the affirmation while focusing on each idea in the affirmation with great thoughtfulness and feeling -letting the idea penetrate and fill your consciousness. 3. When you finish your two daily meditations (thus the evening), note in your spiritual journal the thoughts that come to you. Be sure to do this each day! 4. Some suggestions to guide you during this program. • Understand that you are not DOING something. You let simply Abundance be expressed. Abundance is already an integral part of your true nature. • Abundance already exists: it is enough to be in total confidence and to release is detach and stop controlling things, people, and events. Be conscious that critical and negative thoughts slow down the benefits intended whereas a state of consciousness based on the love and confidence accelerate the diffusion of abundance. • It is necessary to circulate the money and anything else tangible: not only we happily receive; we also give to the others. • Be aware that it is important to pay all daily invoices and expenditure with pleasure. • Circulate the money according to your means: it is not thus a question " of throwing money down the drain " ; however, you do not deprive yourself of something which you wish deeply for fear of missing money later. • Respect money, for example do not use depreciative terms for " money " . 5. The money is an effect. If you concentrate on the effect, you forget of it the cause and the effect starts to lose of its capacity. If you pay your attention on " receiving " money, you are cutting your source. From now, it is necessary that you cease believing that the money is your substance, your source, your support, your safety! The money is not all this but God is!! When you understand and integrate this truth, your source will run without stopping, in a perfect way and with abundance. Only God is the source and eliminate from your thoughts the fact that the source is an exteriorized effect. 5. When distress, anger, stress and any other negative emotion invade us, pronounce the following words immediately and impregnate you of their meaning: " I give up my anguishes, my fears… " It is necessary to remain in a state of consciousness based on the love and not the fear! 6. It is important that you pay your attention on that for which you require and what you wish NOW and not in the future: God operates in the present. Consequently, it is important to formulate sentences by using time present and not the conditional one or the future bus abundance is already present, even if this one did not materialize yet. That will arrive automatically (for example: to say " I have " and not " when I would have " ). 7. When Abundance starts to express (in some form that it is), remain humble! The reason is that it is not we who DO the work! Only the spiritual substance is achieved and we are only the channel which receives this Abundance. 8. Do not try to control the way in which abundance will come to you, let you surprise! 9. It is the will of God that you are rich: understand that the lacks do not exist in the divine conscience. We are the children of Abundance, the Infinite one, Universe! 10. Abundance in the physical world is a representation of the conscience of prosperity and works starting from your spirit, thus of the interior. More your conscience is raised, more your prosperity is and becomes it! 11. To have gratitude and reconnaissance are vital ingredients in development of the conscience of prosperity. Thus, do not wait until you had what you wish in tangible form to express your gratitude because the achievement of a desire always starts with the conscience before appearing in the real world. 12. Do not speak about this program of Abundance with people who do not have the spiritual opening required with the risk to stop the connection and the current of being able which is established during meditations. 13. To develop a conscience of prosperity, you need to change your thoughts, by replacing the ideas of lack by ideas of Abundance. Spend more time each day thinking what you want rather than on what you do not want. 14. How to formulate its thoughts on abundance by using affirmations: * The spirit of infinite abundance is individualized in me * I irradiate infinite Abundance * What is received with love must be returned with the same intensity * From my abundance consciousness, money flows towards me in tangible form * I am marvelously rich in my conscience * I finally realize my plan for an abundant life * I see myself sharing this abundance with love for the good of all according to counsels of my spiritual guide * Now, I pay each invoice with pleasure * I filled each obligation and duty with joy * I see with the greatest pleasure the current of this money is used with love and wisdom and I create the perfect conditions to do this, following the guidance of my higher self. * My saving is continuously supplied and this, thanks to the divine self-sufficiency, filling not only my requirements but also bringing a divine surplus to me. THE 10 AFFIRMATIONS 1) God is lavish, unfailing Abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the Universe. This all-providing Source of infinite prosperity is individualized as me — the reality of me. 2) I lift up my mind and heart to be aware, to understand, and to know that the divine presence I AM is the Source and the Substance of all my good. 3) I am conscious of the Inner Presence as my lavish Abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity. Therefore, my consciousness is filled with the Light of Truth. 4) Through my consciousness of my God-self, the Christ within, as my source, I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of Spirit. This substance is my supply, thus my consciousness of the Presence of God within me is my supply. 5) Money is not my supply. No person place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding and knowledge of the all providing activity of the Divine Mind within me is my supply. My consciousness of this Truth is unlimited. 6) My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any needs or unfulfilled desires. 7) The Divine Consciousness that I am is forever expressing its true nature of Abundance. This is its responsibility, not mine. My only responsibility is to be aware of this Truth. Therefore, I am totally confident in letting go and letting God appear as the abundant all sufficiency in my life and affairs. 8) My consciousness of the Spirit within me as my unlimited Source is the Divine Power to restore the years the locusts have eaten, the make all things new, to lift me up to the High Road of abundant prosperity. This awareness, understanding and knowledge of Spirit appears as every visible for and experience that could possibly desire. 9) When I am aware of the God-Self within me as my total fulfilment, I am totally fulfilled. I am now aware of this Truth. I have found the secret of life, and relax in the knowledge that the Activity of Divine Abundance is eternally operating in my life. I simply have to be aware of the flow, the radiation, of that Creative Energy, which is continuously, easily and effortlessly pouring forth from my Divine Consciousness. I am now aware. I am now in the flow. 10) I keep my mind and thoughts off " this world " and I place my entire focus on God within as the only Cause of my prosperity. I acknowledge the Inner presence as the only activity in my financial affairs, as the substance of all things visible. I place my faith in the Principle of Abundance in action within me. If it is anything less than God's infinite love, wisdom, substance- energy, and all good, then it is time for an update! When you do, God's rich abundance for you will pour forth so much more easily and freely, you will be amazed! Enjoy it! You deserve it!
