“Whatever you ask for, you may have to let go of something to get it. If you have asked for money, you may have to let go of your images of the lack of it, of all the ways you live that reflect those images, and of the ways you spend and buy. Your soul will give you many challenges and growth opportunities to help you let go of those images of lack. The money may come at first in small amounts so that you can demonstrate your willingness to spend on those things that create prosperity.

Eventually as the energy is changed within you, as your programs and decisions and beliefs are rewritten, ideals will begin flowing, concrete ideas about specifically how to create the sum of money you want. It may be a year or two or even more before the programs around lack of abundance are cleared up enough for the specific idea to come in. At that point, you will continue to crate many ways to attract wealth and refine them until it is a fact.”

“The most profound knowledge is often only available through direct perception and experience. Words alone are never sufficient to explain such mysteries. Understanding the nature of fear and how to take control of it is of great importance in our daily life. Knowing the source of fear is the essential element; without it, your understanding of fear will not be complete.

The profound and simple truth is that the universe was created by our Divine Maker. He created the whole universe out of himself and no other substance. In reality all things and creatures are one with our Maker. Just as in the material world, all elements consist of atomic particles, yet they are manifested as infinitely different forms. Whenever we experience ourselves as separate from that power of Oneness, fear enters.”

“Do what you say. If you’re not going to do it, don’t say you are. Have your word be the most important asset you have. Treat it like gold. If you treat it like gold it will bring you gold, you will be able to create what you want in the world. Each time you do what you say you’re going to do, you’re training yourself and the universe that you can be counted on. Then when you start to work on larger goals, when you say I am going to make more money, fall in love, write a book, or open a clinic, you will be able to do it.

When we constantly lie to ourselves it’s difficult for us to believe in ourselves. The New Year’s resolutions you never follow through on are just wishes. Your word, if not taken seriously, is nothing but noise. Communication is a great gift but your words have a much greater gift to give you. They can assist you in designing your life. They can give you power and freedom. When you make a commitment to do something for yourself or someone else, and you know you can follow through, you have power. When you want to change something in your life or achieve a goal and you know you’re capable of doing it, you have freedom.”

“The intellect is governed by the ego, and the ego is bound by fear. We don’t usually uncover a truth about ourselves in the absence of fear or insecurity. In fact, many times when you encounter an individual who has experienced a true transformation of self or a true healing, they usually have stories of overcoming fear. They often talk about the ridicule they endured and the loneliness they felt as they pursued a certain course of action. But always inside they were propelled forward, against all resistance. Ever ignoring their own trepidation, they continued forward. I once asked a friend, who seemed so confident and daring to me, how she was able to go through life with no fear. She told me she had a lot of fear, but she always chose to ignore it. “Otherwise,” she said, “I would never do anything with my life.”

“The more we think about something with even feeble emotion, the bigger and more powerful that something becomes in our life, regardless of whether it’s the lack of what we want, or the thing itself.

If we say, “I want perfect health,” and think emotionally about perfect health all the time, we’ll either have it now or it will be on its way. But if we say, “I don’t want sickness,” and think emotionally about that often enough, we’re opting for ill health because our focus is on the sickness.  If we think a lot about wanting a new house and can feel ourselves in it, it’s on it’s way. But if we’re constantly saying, “I don’t want to live in this place anymore,” we’ll be sticking around for a while.

If we think emotionally about something long enough, whether it’s something we want or something we don’t want, it’s going to be coming into our world, like it or not.”
