First you imagine your self as being Source Energy, or as close as you can get.

Sit cross-legged on the floor or on a meditation pillow or mat. Or sit in an upright chair or an easy chair or on a bed. Or lie down with your back straight or curled in fetal position. Or take a shower or do the dishes or mow the lawn.

Close your eyes or leave them open. Put your attention on the spot between your eyes, the third eye, or on the top of your head, the crown chakra, or the center of your chest, on the heart center, or your navel, or a spot on the wall, or 3 feet behind your head.

You might want to use a sound so that you can resonate with the vibration, like OM, HU, soft music, the sound of the refrigerator, water running through pipes, the noise in your ears, or dragsters burning rubber. You can chant the name of your guide or Abraham or Paul (Communion of Light) or a holy man like Jesus or Allah or Buddha or Krishna or Lao Tsu or Lao Tsi or Chief Joseph or Rami, or Quetzalcoatl.

You can look at a white light or blue light or a garden paradise or a temple of wisdom.

But you should do 20 minutes daily. Or 30 minutes daily. Or 10 minutes daily. Or 3 minutes daily. Or 30 minutes twice a day. Or 10 minutes 3 times a day.

Lastly, you imagine your self as being Source Energy, or as close as you can get.

Update on the virtual reality Law of Attraction Meditation Center

I know. I know. I have been talking about using meditation to aid in learning about the Law of Attraction. And here I am turning it around and saying you use Law of Attraction in the meditation process.

Whenever you are doing something new or attempting to learn more about a subject, it is really helpful to establish an intent about what you want to learn or accomplish. Abraham-Hicks talks about using this technique for every aspect of your life when they refer to “segmented intent.” Paul, the Communion of Light, asks you to create an intent before every session, whether you meet with him in person or a group.

Likewise, it helps to be very clear what you want to accomplish within your meditation session. The following are a few intents you might want to accomplish in a meditation session.

• I want to find the highest connection to Source Energy I can.
• I want to understand what it means to be in the Vortex.
• I want to find the best feeling thought I can about the subject of money.
• I want to dwell in the feeling of what it would be like to be debt-free.
• I want to align myself with the vibration of having a better relationship.
• I want to expand what I know about the “Mechanics of the Universe.”
• I want to give myself love, and fill myself with the love of the Universe.
• I want to unravel this conflict that is bothering me and see it from the vantage point of Source Energy.
• I want to connect with my inner guides.
• I want to establish a better connection to the world around me.
• I want to establish a better connection to the people around me.
• I want to understand better the nature of love.
• I want to explore further what it is I would like to do next with my life.

As you can see, there are many paths you can take with meditation. However, if you don’t have an intention or direction, it is hard to know whether you have learned or accomplished anything.

Let’s take an example. Somewhere, sometime in your path, someone said something like, “Dude, you really gotta learn how to use the Internet.”

And it seemed like a good idea. So you got a connection and you set up your email and you opened your browser. Okay, so now you are on the browser home page. You know you want to learn about this Internet thing and you are staring at what is virtually an ad for a company. What do you do next?

Now, suppose you went through the same process but you were really clear on your intent in doing so. Say your intention was to learn more about Abraham. You set up your Internet connection like before and you open to your browser’s homepage and see the advertisement again. But this time you see in the corner, “Search the web.” So you type Abraham in the search box, and before you know it you are watching videos of Abraham.

The same thing can happen in meditation. Without an intent, a direction, how will you know if you have done it right? Yes, whatever you get is perfect for you, but why spend your meditation time wondering what it is you are supposed to accomplish. When you set an intent, you have a beacon to follow.

In essence, you are turning the Law of Attraction toward the meditation process, focusing on what it is you want, and allowing it to happen.

More soon.

Meditation closes the gap.

A fundamental principle in the Law of Attraction is that whenever you desire something, it is instantly created. However, there is a gap between having created it as Source Energy and having it manifest in the physical where our human experience takes place.

This doesn’t mean what you created doesn’t exist. It is very real. In fact, the only thing that keeps it from manifesting is that you are maintaining a resistance to it. The natural progression of things we create in Source Energy is that they will manifest. So why doesn’t it appear for you?

“What is wrong is you are out of harmony with your own being, with who you really are…What is wrong is not something outside of you over which you have no control. What is wrong is within you, and you do have control. And taking control is not hard to do, once you understand the basis of who you are.” Abraham, Money and the Law of a Attraction, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Disk 1

In other words, the more that you get that you ARE Source Energy, the easier the Law of Attraction becomes.

Paul, the Communion of Light, told me in a private session that had Abraham not used the term “Law of Attraction,” which so many people have become familiar with, they might have called it “The Mechanics of the Universe.” The Law of Attraction is more fundamental to the workings of the Universe than anything we can we can imagine on the physical level, including Gravity, Newton’s Second Law of Motion, or Karma.

So how does one make a shift from being entirely focused on the physical reality, to understanding the true nature of who we are – at least as much as we can while maintaining a physical form? There are several ways, including but not limited to:

• Read about it
• Study the words of beings such as Abraham or Paul
• Have a dialog with non-physical beings
• Meditate

Reading opens the doors to understanding and forming a schema (conceptual basis) to start a dialog. If you are looking for evidence of being more than a human being, you need a framework to understand and talk about it. Somehow I doubt that applies to many of you reading this blog. Reading also opens up new doors once the schema are in place.

When we hear beings talk from a non-physical perspective, it stretches our imagination. The mere acceptance that there are beings without physical form is a large leap for many. And when they talk about the Law of Attraction and related principles, we start to see that there is more to the Universe than we can experience with our physical senses.

Talking one-on-one with Paul is really cool. You can have this experience by contacting Frank Butterfield. I have not yet been on the “Hot Seat” with Abraham. The difference between a one-on-one session and a recording is that the non-physical being dialogs with you and works within your belief system to help you come to a better understanding of the nature of things. This dialog occurs both audibly and vibrationally, so that when all is said and done, you leave the conversation at a little higher level of consciousness. I would suggest you choose both a non-physical being and channel that “feel right” to you.

But you don’t really need a channel in order to talk with non-physical beings. I have “talked” with both Abraham and Paul. These beings are open to “talk” with you too.

The truth of the matter is that non-physical beings are all around you. You have your own support staff–some people call them guardian angels. You can talk with them and they will whisper in your ear. And in terms of Law of Attraction, you have entire armies of beings ready to help you manifest whatever it is you want.

Okay, are things starting to stretch a little? Like maybe you think you understand or want to understand? This is where meditation comes in. Meditation helps bring you to the point where you can understand concepts that previously seemed out of reach.

The way it works is that by putting your attention on your self as Source Energy, you are expanding your consciousness as some would say, or raising your vibration as others might say. The closer you can come to understanding who you are as Source Energy, the easier it is to understand the “Mechanics of the Universe.” It is not unlike climbing a mountain. The higher you go, the more you can see.

More on “how to” in the next couple posts.

Update on the Virtual Law of Attraction Meditation Center

The virtual space has been created and has “seating” for 32 people in its current form. At this point we are one to two weeks away from being operational.

During the course of the last week in preparation for the Workshop: Finding your Personal Connection with Money, I’ve had a lot of opportunities to focus on creating my personal relationship with money. What has become obvious is that because everyone is unique – as far as I can tell, no two people are even remotely similar – every individual will have their own unique way of connecting with the energy of money.

I have tried many of the exercises given by both Abraham and Paul (Communion of Light), as well as exercises given by gurus that guarantee that if I follow their plan I’ll be rich. Although some of these exercises were enlightening, none were enough to put me over the edge of conscious creation. They just didn’t work for me. The vibration seemed to stay out there some where.

Yet when I looked at these people and listened to what they said, it was obvious that what they said did work for them. They had found a way to resonate with the energy of money. But when I did their exercises, it was like playing an untuned guitar. The connection was not quite established.

If we are to become conscious creators, then each of us must find a way to make our own connection with Source – or, more precisely, what Abraham calls our vibrational escrow – and to ground it, or make it real. And for each of us, that way will be different. I have seen several examples firsthand: One person I know is very adept at talking himself into alignment. Another is good at visualizing himself at the moment of receiving what he wants. Julie, my wife, needs to feel convinced that what she is wanting can definitely happen (one way or another). I have to take an action that for me creates a situation where I can let the Universe take over responsibility for the outcome.

The way I learned how I personally do it was with some guidance from Paul. Paul asked me when I have had success in creating money that was not a direct result of something I did. I remembered a time 30 years ago when I was a general contractor. Whenever I got low on work, I would go to the marina and put flyers on the fences of the expensive homes there. The act almost never produced jobs directly from the flyers, yet I knew that I would get work from somewhere. And usually before I even got home from passing out the flyers, there would be work waiting.

It is obvious then, that this approach is what worked for me: I need to perform some act to solidify my intent and release the result to the Universe. It is not enough for me to visualize the goal as complete, or to tune into the vibration. My connection to the energy of money is through this specialized, directed action. This action grounds what I want in reality.

You can do this detective work too. Imagine a time when money came to you through a channel you did not expect. It could be that you decided to attend a workshop you didn’t know how you were going to pay for. You needed money for some reason and it miraculously arrived. If you can’t think of an example with money, find a time when something else you wanted manifested.

Examine the process. What about it was what made it real for you, where you knew it was on the way?

If you need help with this, come on and attend the workshop mentioned above.

If you are frustrated because you think you are doing all the right things but you still can’t get the Law of Attraction to work for you, relax. You are very, very close. You are just looking at the wrong things.

As I mentioned in a previous post, “From the viewpoint of Source Energy what you create through your desires is real the instant you intend it. It exists as vibration. It does not get any more real. Further down the pike it may manifest as a physical object or event in your world, but this world is your creation, what some would call a world of illusion because it exists for you alone.”

Let’s go a little further working with this idea. When you create an experience you create it first on a vibrational level. So, let’s say you think you would like pizza. Then sooner or later you will find yourself eating it – with or without further planning on your part. The placement of the intention into your vibration automatically sends the experience from the vibrational reality to the physical reality. It is like gravity or a river flowing downstream. Unless you send up a wall of resistance, the experience will come.

Now, pizza is pretty low-stakes. We’ve manifested it many times before, and our self-esteem isn’t riding on our pizza success. Unless we have actually ordered it, we probably aren’t looking over our shoulder wondering when it is going to get here – we just know we will have it one day, most likely when we have ordered it, but not necessarily. Maybe it will show up at an office party or at someone’s house when we visit.

The problem with higher-stakes desires is that most people insist on focusing on the illusion of “not-having” as if it were more real than the vibration of “having.” Even if we know this point intellectually, our ingrained belief system constantly redirects us to our physical situation. As Einstein has said about the physical reality, “it is a very persistent illusion.”

So what we must do is shift our expectations from assuming that we will experience “more of the same” – or continue in the same physical situation (illusion) – to seeing what is already manifested in vibration (truth). Let me say that as directly as possible. We have to shift our expectation of reality from illusion to truth.

So tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

My clients constantly tell me that manifesting is easier in some parts of their lives than others. For some people it may be very easy to manifest the relationships they want, but difficult to manifest money within their illusion of recession. If so, then play the game where it is easiest. Don’t focus on the money, focus on manifesting an even better relationship. Both Abrahamand Paul (Communion of Light) tell us again and again to focus and expand upon what is working in your life.

The Great Treasure Hunt

One summer at our family cottage when my daughter was 6 or 7, we were swinging in a hammock together. She looked down and saw a piece of parchment sticking out of the ground. The parchment was burnt along the edges as if it had been in a fire, but on the parchment she could read a map, and on the map was a big X on wiggly blob labeled Treasure Island. So off we went in the boat on a treasure hunt. The map started at Pirate’s Cove, so we had to dock our boat and go ashore. A dotted line led us to trees and ducks (three rocks stacked on top of each other), and after searching for clues and following directions, we unearthed a small chest full of jewelry.

Of course, the jewelry was costume jewelry, and I had planted the map where she would find it. But this kind of treasure hunt can be very useful in helping us make a major breakthrough with the manifesting process.

At an Abraham Law of Attraction workshop I attended in Toronto in 2008, Abraham mentioned that Esther kept a “Positive Aspects Journal.” Whatever she was working on at the time, she wrote down all the positive aspects of the situation. Whenever she felt she was getting off track, she returned to her positive aspects journal and re-read it.

Taking this idea further, we can go on a treasure hunt. As what we are wanting gets closer, more and more clues to its arrival become evident. We see a pizza billboard. The phonebook falls open to the page. Someone asks us to come over for dinner. If we fail to see the clues, we may get discouraged and worse, mess things up: “I really don’t see why she would be asking me to dinner. I won’t go.”

But if we look for clues, not seeking but rather just paying attention, more and more clues will start to appear. We can either add these clues to our Positive Aspects Journal or create a new page for clues. The important thing in this game is to stay open to see the clues. The more clues we find, the more easily we know we are getting close to our treasure.

When things are going great, look for the clues. When contrast is making things difficult, look for the clues. They will be there no matter what your emotional state. Just keep looking for the clues.

The clues will guide you to the treasure chest of jewels you are wanting.

Rhonda Byrne, in her book (not the movie), The Secret, tells us that, to a person, every single guest speaker in the movie practiced meditation daily. That alone tells me there must be something important going on during meditation in terms of the manifesting process. Maybe we should consider doing it.

I’ve always rather enjoyed the paradox and mystery of attitudes surrounding meditation. On one hand when we do it, we fill ourselves with love, feel better all around, and our day seems glorious. Yet when we think about actually doing it, it is more like eating brussels sprouts – we know they are probably good for us, but we can eat them tomorrow or next week. The truth is, if we look at our morning meditation in perspective, it’s more like starting the day with dessert – and I mean the really good dessert like the chocolate truffles that you get across the street from the Louvre in Paris.

Hey, I do it too. I’m better at it now, but it took decades of whining about it.

I think part of our resistance is that we get frustrated because we think we are not doing it right. Let’s lay that one to rest right now. There is only one way to do it right, your way. That’s right, everyone’s experience of meditation is totally different. It is tempting to look at someone else’s description of their experience and think you are not doing it right because you can’t do what you think they can do.

A spiritual group that I have participated in places importance on contemplation, a focused form of meditation. When these people gather they may talk about their experiences. In my mind, I group these experiences by types.

• People who see light.
• People who hear sounds.
• People who leave their bodies.
• People who travel to other worlds.
• People who study at temples of wisdom.
• People who immerse themselves in love (of God)
• People who just know things – direct perception.

Someone tends to be good at one, maybe two of the above. The thing is, they might listen to what the others can do and discount their own experiences.

I’m in the last group. I know stuff. That means whenever I want to know the answer to anything about life, the universe, and everything, it just kinda pops into my head. Pretty wonderful. The thing is, it is very unglamourous. I don’t get the cool lights or travel to exotic places. I must be doing it wrong.

I know now that if I were to put my attention on any of those experiences, the Law of Attraction would bring them to me. But they don’t seem as important now.

Here’s the deal. You really can’t get it wrong. As along as it feels good to you, you are doing it right.

Here are some tapping exercises to get you started. No set-up phrases are needed.

• I give myself permission to make meditation easy.
• I give myself permission to enjoy meditation.
• I give myself permission to make meditation fun.
• I give myself permission to make meditation a priority.
• I give myself permission to allow my experience to be perfect for me.
• I give myself permission to love myself as the being of light and love I am.
• I give myself permission to make meditation part of my daily routine.

Next: Why is meditation important in the LOA process?

Sneak preview:

I am in the process of setting up a virtual reality Law of Attraction Meditation Center in the Second Life sim. Current plans are to hold a daily 20-30 minute meditation session followed by a discussion of the Law of Attraction. In other words, we will work as a group to shrink the gap between what you are wanting and what you are getting.

Second Life gives us the opportunity to interact more or less as if we are together in person. We can talk, break off into small groups, ask questions, etc. Plus we can look really, really good. LOL

It will be funded by donations. Second Life is free to participate in.

I cannot think of a better way to make use of virtual reality. Can you?

Contact me for more information, or if you would like to get involved.

Now that you have asked (see last blog post), the next step is expecting. Expecting is non-resistance.

“The money you receive is in direct response to your expectation of it.” Paul, Creating Money, Disk 2.

The closer you get to knowing that what you asked for is coming, the easier it will manifest. You just have to expect it to arrive. For instance, perhaps when you were in high school, you just expected to go to college. You didn’t know how or where, you were just going.

When you order a book from Amazon.com, you know it will be here in 3 days.

If you pour water into the back of a coffee maker, put a filter in the basket, spoon in fresh grounds, and push the little red button, you know in 5 minutes you will get a pot full of coffee.

You just have to expect the Universe will deliver what you asked for.

I feel the “Yeah, but”s standing up like hairs on the back of your neck. “Expecting is not that easy.” Of course, that is the trick. I asked Paul point-blank in a private session, “What can I do to foster a feeling of expectation?”

He said (paraphrasing), “Be very clear about what you want. Say, ‘I want $2000. I expect it. I expect it to be easy. I expect to feel what it is like to pay such and such bill, I expect to spend what I have left, doing whatever it is I want to do with it’” He said to spend time in the highest state I can achieve talking about all the things I will do with the money and how it will feel to have it. He said, the minute it starts to feel even a little bit bad, stop the exercise. You don’t want to bring bad-feeling thoughts into the Vortex. How about a time frame? No, because that’s when you get in there and start managing it.

Saying it until you mean it, especially with the power of the Vortex or Source Energy behind you, is a very powerful way to develop trust in the Universe.

A client of mine developed a brilliant adaptation of this principle. When she examined her financial obligations, she would take each bill and ask the universe for something extra to spend frivolously. If she had a phone bill for $285, she might ask for $350. She would then spend the bulk of her time in the Vortex spending the extra $65.

What makes this brilliant is that by placing her attention on spending the excess, she is assuming the bill is going to be paid. Source Energy then amplifies her expectation that the bill will be paid.

Now when the time comes, does she spend the money as she planned? “Depends,” she says. “Sometimes it feels better to take the money and pay another bill. Besides, I already had the fun of spending it.”

Although we ask the Universe for stuff, money or experiences, it is never about those things. What it is really about is the feeling we expect to have as a result of having the stuff, money or experiences. It is not about the comfy, overstuffed chair we want, it is the feeling of relaxed comfort we expect we will have. It is not about the money we need to pay the bills, it is about the relief we expect to feel as we make it through a whole week without worrying about the bills. It is not about traveling to Paris, it is about the satisfaction of achieving a life dream to experience the romantic sidewalk café. Once we realize it is not about the money or stuff, we can look at our current situation and find all the places where the feeling we are looking for already exists. We can then put our attention on these feelings and appreciate them for the joy they already bring us. A lot of times, especially in the case of needing money, it is possible to look at a time in your life where money was not an issue. Look at all the times you’ve manifested money in the past. It is likely that since you are where you are, you’ve been pretty successful at getting by at your current level. You can pretty much assume you will continue to get by in the future. If you can assume that the money will come eventually, then it is just a matter of time. The following three-part exercise from Paul, given in the Creating Money Series CD 5 for a woman who was concerned that her money would run out by a certain date, shows us how to assume an increase in our money, and compress the time it takes to get there.

Our emotional guidance system. Many people classify emotions that feel bad to be bad or negative emotions. They are neutral, just like our eyes are neutral in the sight process. The eyes help us process light into meaning, and our emotions help us process our human experience. Emotions are simply what we feel in direct response to the thoughts we are thinking at that moment. If a thought is in alignment with what we are wanting, we have a corresponding good feeling emotion. If the thought is out of alignment with what we are wanting we have a bad feeling emotion. Not good or bad in value, more like a compass pointing the direction we want to go. Of course, the problem we have with this system is that through one means or another, most of us have been taught to ignore our emotions, and we have lost interest in watching how we are feeling. Getting back in touch with our emotions is a trial-and-error learning process. I don’t mean that we get it wrong and have to learn how to do it. We don’t. We know an emotion feels good or bad just because we say so. What is a trial-and-error process is remembering to look to our emotions. As we get better at it, the time we spend not paying attention to how we are feeling gets shorter and shorter.

Step 1) In a relaxed state (in the Vortex), spend time appreciating the money you have, even if it is just the pennies under the cushion in your sofa. Do not think about wanting more; focus on the joy of what you do have. Don’t spend a lot of time here. Get in and get out. If you start to feel badly at all, it is time to quit.

Step 2) Think of the amount of money that you have increasing. Don’t look at how it will increase – that is not for you to figure out. Rather, look at the ways you will experience relief, pleasure and joy from it. Paul suggests, “Just imagine yourself saying with great delight, ‘I’m now having an inflow of money and I’m enjoying it very much.’”

Step 3) Bring as much joy into your imagination as possible. Look at all the things you do that bring you joy and immerse yourself in them. If you enjoy working in your garden, visualize all the pleasant sights and sounds of working in the garden. Create scenarios where you enjoy the heck out of what you are doing. When you are in the feeling of joy, the manifestation process flows easily.

Once the feeling starts to subside, get out.

While step 1 & 2 need only be done once. Step 3 should be repeated as often as possible.

Throughout this series of blog posts, the theme of “finding the path of least resistance” has been demonstrated by various exercises designed to help you relax around the topic of money. The more you can become relaxed around money, particularly around your relationship with money, the more easily you manifest it. No doubt you have areas in your life where you easily manifest what you want, and those areas are also the ones you are most comfortable with.

You see, it is easy to become confused about what is real and what is not. It is a matter of perspective. As Source energy, what you create through your desires is real the instant you intend it. It exists as vibration. It does not get any more real. Further down the pike it can manifest as a physical object or event, but this world is your creation, what some would call a world of illusion because it exists for you alone.

Once you have created something through your desire, the natural path of this creation is to manifest in your physical world. The only way you can keep this from happening is to resist its manifestation. The way you resist it is by declaring that the world you created, your illusion, is more real than the vibration. You do this by looking at your physical situation and declaring “I need my stuff.” “My stuff isn’t here yet.” “I’ll never get my stuff in time.”

The way the stuff gets here is by seeing the vibration of what you want as the real “proof” of it’s existence. In other words, knowing that you have created it, and expecting it to manifest.

Final Exercise

What would it be like to be totally comfortable around the energy of money?

Tap a round on (no set up): I give myself permission to be comfortable around the energy of money.

On an energetic level, when we stay within a pattern where an emotion we don’t like is repeated over and over, we create a vibrational field around it. This energetic field takes on a life of its own and has almost a feeling that it is one of our children. Frankly, we just don’t want to let it go.

We can release our attachment to this field using a Light Tapping^SM process (as in releasing a sentinel – see earlier blog posts.) It is a three-step process in which we tap three distinct rounds. If one round or another brings up a powerful emotion, feel free to repeat the round or change the round to dissipate the emotional charge. Start with the set-up statement, and then move into the three rounds without further set-up statements.

Set-up:

Even though I’ll be really sad to see my resistance to money go – in fact, it has been my friend for a very long time, it has been a very useful shield, it has protected me when nothing else would and kept me safe – I deeply and completely accept myself.

Round 1 Sadness and attachment:

• Eyebrow: I’ll be really sad to see my resistance to money go
• Side of eye: It’s been like my best friend
• Under Eye: It has been a very useful protector
• Under the nose: It has kept me safe
• Chin: It protected me when nothing else would
• Collar bone: It is like it has been a part of me
• Under arm: A part of who I am
• Top of head: I’ll be sad to see my resistance to money go.

Round 2 Fear:

• Eyebrow: I’m afraid of what I will do with out my resistance to money.
• Side of Eye: How will I protect myself about money?
• Under eye: How will I get by without my resistance to money protecting me from failure?
• Under nose: I don’t know what it might mean
• Chin: It will be all new territory
• Collar bone: What if I choke?
• Under arm: What if I can’t handle money?
• Top of head: I’ll be afraid to see my safe old mindframe go.

Round 3: Allowing

• Eyebrow: I give myself permission to release my resistance to money
• Side of Eye: I give myself permission to replace the resistance with tools from my tool box to handle my new situation
• Under eye: I give myself permission to use my intelligence
• Under nose: I give myself permission to use my intuition
• Chin: I give myself permission to use my emotional guidance system
• Collar bone: I give myself permission to use my wisdom.
• Under arm: I give myself permission to use all the tools in my tool box.
• Top of head: I’ll still be sad to see my resistance to money go.

Take a couple of deep breaths.

Thank the energetic field which was your resistance to money for all the hard work and service it as performed at your request. Ask it if it is still protecting you from anything. If the answer is yes, ask what that is and tap until it is a non-issue. Then ask again. Repeat until it is no longer protecting you.

Ask the energetic field if it would rather return home to Source or stay and be transformed into something you are both comfortable with and will assist you in generating a flow of money. Based upon its answer, either let it return home or welcome it back into your energetic field as a powerful ally.

These several blog posts represent the first draft of an upcoming free ebook. I will lengthen the explanations, give examples, and provide many more exercises. This book will be free to the public, but if you want to keep informed as to when it is released, be sure you are subscribed to my newsletter.

So now you have new rules and are okay with where you are. Okay, maybe you still need a little work on some of it. No biggy. You don’t have to do Law of Attraction perfectly. You just need to get in the neighborhood. You know, hand-grenade close.

After all is said and done, there are two things that you really need to do to get what you want:

• Ask for it.
• Expect it to arrive (so much, that you are fine with how things are now – i.e. nonresistant).

Everything else we’ve talked about greases the wheels, but we really only need to ask and expect.

Common sense tells us that asking is the easy part. But is it that easy? We are taught in our culture that it is not polite to ask, so we hem and haw around the asking. We kinda sorta hint at what we want. We envision being debt-free or having a new car in the driveway or a notion of fulfillment – and figure the Universe knows how much we need. We do all sorts of clearing blocks and attuning of vibrations in an attempt to manipulate the Universe in kind of a bargaining way, not unlike what some of us used to do in prayer, “God, I’ll be really, really good if you [fill in the blank].” Only it’s, “I’ll do this guru’s exercises so as to become in alignment with what I am asking for,” or, “If I do what I love, the money will come.”

Only we never actually get around to asking.

It should be firm and commanding.

• I want $2000, and this is how I will feel as I do [fill in the blank] with it.
• I want $22,500 to stabilize my business, which will then operate like this [picture].
• I want $53,000 for a new bright red Cadillac CTS.

Don’t try to manipulate the universe by “working it,” doing those things you think you have do before you can receive. Just ask for it.

Recently in a private session with Paul, as channeled by Frank Butterfield, I asked if they could help me develop a tool so I could work with the Universe more effectively. They answered that I had it backwards. I don’t work the Universe, the Universe works me.

What they meant was that when I am clear about what I want, and I tune into what I want, and I place myself into the nearest thing I can imagine is Source Energy – that part of me that is so much bigger than anything I can imagine while in physical form – then Source Energy takes what I have brought into the “Vortex” and amplifies it, bringing it forth into manifestation.

It uses me, my wants, my vision, to help me manifest the world around me.

Hopefully by now you have established your rules about money and have taken them into a relaxed state and played with them a bit to try them on for size. If you have not, please take the time now to catch up.

Now that you have the feel for the rules, let them go. They are not a goal in themselves, rather they are the instructions you have given the Universe to follow in creating the money you want. You will ease into the reality of these rules as you go about the process of manifesting money and acquiring the stuff you want.

Another reason to let go of the rules is that, for some people, these rules represent a “reality” that is just too far away from where they perceive themselves right now. Abraham-Hicks, in the book Ask and it is Given, provides us with the image of a playground merry-go-round. Just as you might want to experience the delight of building up the most speed you can obtain without being thrown off into the bushes, similarly you might want to build up to the highest, best-feeling truth you can get to and still stay on the ride.

For many of us, stepping into our new rules is like jumping onto a speeding merry-go-round. The shocking jerk of such a change can throw us off the merry-go-round and into the bushes. The better way to step into our new rules then is by taking baby steps in our current financial situation – pushing the merry-go-round ourselves faster and faster – while at the same time staying in alignment with the rules we just created.

Just as Abraham gives us an emotional scale to guide us through our feelings, a financial scale exists as well. For just as it is difficult for someone who is in a state of depression to imagine jumping straight to joy even if they wanted to, it is hard for someone struggling with bills and a clunky car to imagine driving to their hangar, getting into their new Lear jet and flying to Paris for fresh morning baguettes. Both throw you in the bushes.

The following is a scale I created to give us a point of reference of where we are and where the next step is. Keep in mind that all reference points are suggestive to the individual’s experience. Destitute might mean having the car you are living in towed by the city, or it might mean having to move from your $20 million mansion to a $2 million tract house. It is also a sliding scale. After reading this you might decide that you are 1/4 of the way above security on your way to comfort.

After determining where you are on the financial scale, set your sights on just the next level up. For instance, if you are at Secure, set your sights on Comfort.

If you are starting at a very basic or frightening level, as described in the Communion of Light segment of Spiritual Tools that Work, Part 2, where the wolves are in your house, what feels a little bit better is getting the wolves outside your house. After that, you can work on getting them outside your front gate.

The trick to moving up the ladder is a concept that is rarely talked about. You have to be honest about where you are on the emotional scale. Abraham tells us that we have to look for what feels like relief in any situation. They say to look for the feeling you will get when the bill is paid. Maybe if you are honest, you might hate a certain bill collector and the way he makes you feel, so much that the relief of paying him off will feel more or less like “up yours.” That is relief to you and it is a big step up from powerlessness.

Paul, in A Communion of Light, Creating Money Series CD #3, says, “The desires to have something be different than what it is, that are so strong and resistant to what is, are causing you to feel like you are not in the flow.”

I take this to mean that not only do I have to be honest with where I am on the emotional scale, I have to be okay with it.

I have to achieve a state where I can acknowledge what I feel, as being perfect just the way it is.

Accepting ourselves as we are is always in alignment with where we want to be and what we want to become.

Exercise

Make a list of those things you don’t like, that make you feel bad, or just plain cause you conflict about your current situation. Be as precise as you can about how you feel.

EFT Master Sue Beer, in the book EFT and Beyond, edited by Pamela Brunner and John Bullough, tells us on page 85:

“… Heart truth…is actually our natural state, our birth right, and the opposite of what I call the ‘addicted-heart’– that state in which you experience yourself as disconnected from the Field or Source –or at least seem to be.”

She goes on to give an exercise on page 87 to activate your “Heart Anchor,” which puts you in touch with your heart truth.

“The first step is to try out the energy points of the Heart Anchor without any particular expectation. Put one hand on the centre of your chest (or heart chakra area) and gently rub. This is the heart point and is connected to an invisible network of energy channels that spread out and open up the lungs and chest area. Then place your other hand of the Top of the Head Point where you would balance a ball, and rub both points lightly at the same time. There is literally and energetically a pathway that runs from the heart to the emotional brain. Sense that pathway and then sense it going beyond the constraint of your physical body. You may or may not notice tingling, energy moving or some other shift in your physiology as you touch these points. Either way is fine.”

The reason that I present this exercise is that sometimes it is difficult to isolate an emotion in conflict well enough to describe it, which is what I just asked you to do in the above exercise. Using Sue Beer’s Heart Anchor technique allows us to focus on the “heart truth” of the emotion we are experiencing by helping us to focus on our own connection with Source Energy.

So as accurately as you can, write down your truth about how you feel. Feel free to use the Heart Anchor Technique liberally.

Some examples:

• My neighbors annoys me beyond belief. I’ve got to find another house.
• I envy people who make money so effortlessly.
• I really hate those credit card collections people.
• I am so frustrated by how financially stuck I am.
• I feel so confined in my kitchen.
• I hate this trapped feeling.

Abraham tells us when we are stuck in a particular vibratory state, such as those we just listed, to take each thought and find a better feeling one until we have transformed it into something that doesn’t keep us stuck. EFTers have the option of taking the emotional charge out of the statement through the tapping process. This is what I suggest you do with each statement of truth you expressed above. Tap on the emotion until you are okay with it–paying particular attention to the part about “loving and accepting yourself,” which I feel is the most powerful part of the EFT process.

You may have to take your seeking the truth of how you feel through several layers.

Once you have reached the state of being okay with your situation, take the time use Abraham’s pivoting process. Look at what you don’t like, expressed in each of the statements you wrote, and use it to determine what it is you do want.

Now write what you do want, making the statements as empowering as you can, yet still keeping them within range of what you think is possible for you:

• One day I will live peacefully in my neighborhood.
• I am starting to imagine what it is like to make money effortlessly.
• It will feel relieving and expansive to pay all my bills easily. I can just taste that feeling.
• Much sooner than I think, my income will start increasing every day.
• It is going to be wonderful to have an open, homey kitchen where I love to cook.
• I can’t wait to feel free! And, you know, inside myself, right now, I am free!

If we look at the last sentence, we see that the key to creating money is finding a connection with it. Therefore it seems counterintuitive to believe we can achieve success by focusing on what is keeping us from forming a connection with money. Yet, that is exactly what most people do.

They look at their ability to create money, see they are not getting what they want, then look for all the reasons why they are not getting it. They come up with blocks, issues, things their parents taught them, etc. They work with people like me to remove these blocks though EFT, Sedona Method, or Light TappingSM, thinking that once the blocks are removed, money will flow.

True, but in practice, we have to turn our attention from what we don’t want, to what we do want. Certainly the above methods do help us to remove energetic vibrations (and corresponding emotions) that distract us from our goals. However, if the “goal” is just to clear blocks and issues, we are stopping short of doing what it actually takes to make the money we want.

Let’s say we do achieve ground zero, a clean slate, an unencumbered starting point. We still have to create a connection with money.

So let’s turn that boat around right now and find a path of lesser resistance. In my last post, I asked you to observe that your rules about money are reflected in your words about money. Now, we could work on isolating each of these rules and overcome each limitation. But that would be akin to attempting to stop a boat from sinking by pulling the drain plug to let the water flow out the bottom. Unfortunately, you are achieving the exact opposite of what you intended.

Instead, let’s pivot (to use an Abraham term). Use a limiting rule about money from your current belief system to determine what it is you don’t want. Once you know what you don’t want, turn it around to determine what it is you do want.

Creating New Rules for Money

At this point, take out your notebook, journal, or paper on which you will write your new rules about money. The rules you make are totally yours to create. However, feel free to borrow from others whose rules resonate with you.

Write on the top of the page:

When I looked at my words and my thoughts about money, I found a common thread. “Making money is a difficult struggle. And there is never enough.” So my first rule about money is:

Rule 1: Everything about money is fun and easy.

Money is fun and easy to acquire. Money is joyful to spend. Money is fun and easy to give away. It is fun to think about money, touch it, imagine filling a bathtub with it and jumping in it. It is fun and easy to pay bills and taxes. It is fun and easy to keep track of money. It is fun and easy to invest money and watch it grow.

For my second rule, I am borrowing from Frank Butterfield.

Rule 2: Money continuously flows to me whether I ask for it or not.

Frank points out that he has enough money in his vibrational escrow to last him quite a while. When I look at all the money I’ve asked the Universe for up to this point, I see that if I just get that, I’ll be extremely rich for the rest of my life. I’ve spent entirely too much time either thinking about or worrying about money. Frankly, it’s getting a little boring. So I am letting the Universe take over handling the bulk of it. If I have a special project, then we’ll play with that, but for now, Universe, it’s all yours baby.

Rule 3: What I receive will always exceed what I ask for.

Whenever I start a project, I think I know what I want. However, as I am manifesting, I tend to see improvements I can make. So if I ask the Universe for $500,000 to build a playground, and decide it would be even better if I added a garden path for the elderly, my new rule says I’m covered without having to go back to the Universe to put in another request. Likewise, if I decide that I want a 96″ high-definition wall-mounted monitor and find that I can get a radar array that receives video broadcasts from the intelligent gasses on Pluto–if I buy the special package–I want to be able to take advantage of it.

Take a few minutes to formulate your new rules. Take them into meditation, contemplation or just relax around them. Play with them. What will it be like when these rules are firmly a part of your universe? What will that feel like? How will things be different?

Next time: Making it real.
