Unlimited Abundance and Prosperitythrough
Spiritual Law
"Money
is neither god nor devil, but a form of energy. Like love or fear,
it can serve you or bind you, depending upon how you manage it.
By clarifying your goals and using your gifts, you can make good
money, doing what you enjoy, while serving the highest calling of
your soul. Using money wisely, and well, you increase the spiritual
wealth with your world." ~
Dan Millman from Everyday Enlightenment The twelve gateways to personal
growth
We
have bought into the illusion of lack and limitation, and we have
accepted poverty as a viable reality. Poverty consciousness is a
sacrilege against our Divine Birthright and acceptance of God's
Infinite Abundance. Everything God has is ours, which includes opulence,
financial freedom and the God supply of all good things. Abiding
by Spiritual Law and their underlying principles in practical ways
lends the necessary leverage to change the circumstances in our
lives into prosperity consciousness so that we may live in peace,
abundance and prosperity. Law
of Attraction: A perfect
teaching on law of attraction in economics. Ester

exponentially increased our collective compassion and vibrational

Law
of No Judgments: Make
peace with your financial past. Examine your relationship with money.
Be Conscious of Your Judgments. What is your attitude surrounding
money? What is your money history? Writing uncensored in a journal
about your past actions with money, no matter what it is, will help
you make peace with it so that you can move forward. Understanding
your emotional patterns with money will help you see through the
money illusion and to recognize the real value of money. It's really
very simple to get clear around money: Just wish for others what
you would wish for yourself!
Law
of Faith:Ask Divine
Providence the all-provider for Help. Look to Providence and
give your trust over to all provision, a.k.a. Spirit, God, Source, Nature
is intimately involved in all aspects of life, and finances
are no exception. Receive graciously. Clearing up debt is about
learning to trust yourself and Providence. Address your request
to God, let go, and joyfully expect an answer. Give thanks every
day and listen within: You'll be guided if there are actions
to take.
Law
of Discipline:Improve
Money Management Skills. Learn to manage money before it manages
you. Distinguish between wants and needs. Learn self-discipline
and self-restraint in money matters. Such conduct can be more
important than courses in accounting. Couples show genuine maturity
when they think of their partners and their families ahead of
their own spending impulses.
Law
of Responsibility: Live
Within your means. In partnership one should ask of the other, “Does
he/she know how to live within his/her means?” These are more
important questions than “Can he/she earn a lot of money?”
New attitudes and relationships toward money should be developed
constantly by all couples.
Law
of Balance: Reduce &
Recalibrate. Use a budget to get out of debt and stay out of debt. Budgeting
is a plan that helps you make the best use of your
income and savings. Avoid finance charges except for homes, education,
and other vital investments. Buy consumer durables with cash. Avoid
installment credit and be careful with using credit cards. They
are principally for convenience and should not be used carelessly
or recklessly. Buy used items until you have saved sufficient money
to purchase quality new items.
Law
of the Present Moment: Be aware of where your money goes. You can't reduce spending without
knowing how you spend, so the first step is to track your spending.
Keep tabs with a money diary or a software program that does the
tracking of all the purchases you make (gather all your receipts
for a month). See Free online personal finance manager. Once you
have this short history, you will see clearly where your dollars
and cents go. Then you can ask yourself: What do I really value?
Cut expenses that are not necessary or important—you can add
them back later if need be, but at least give yourself a trial period
of simplicity.
Law
of Flexibility: The
Money Current. One word for money is currency; it comes from the
word current, which means flow. There are two major modes for dealing
with money in life: circulation and congestion. Circulation or letting
money out is paying bills, tithing or giving to charity, and so
on. Congestion or keeping money in, is hoarding, saving for a rainy
day, being stingy. When you congest around money, the flow stops.
Money, by its nature, flows. Picture yourself and your money in
the flow. Another way to see this flow factor is through the cost
of giving and receiving. The cost of giving is receiving. Conversely,
the cost of receiving is giving, even to your self. You do not need
to have a lot of money in order to give to yourself or others. Ask
yourself, Where am I wealthy? Start your giving there. For instance
do you have extra time, extra money, or talent? Give those. The
feelings associated with genuine joyous giving are to be cultivated.
In this wondrous cycle we all can participate in all of its phases
at all times. Share the wealth. Wealth attracts wealth!
Law
of Action: Teach
children by example the vital principles of provident living-
how to manage money and avoid debt while they are young. Teach
early on the importance of working and earning. It is basic
to personal welfare. One of the greatest favors parents can
do for their children is to teach them to work. Much has been
said over the years about children and monthly allowances, and
opinions and recommendations vary greatly. I believe that children
should earn their money needs through service and appropriate
chores. I think it is unfortunate for a child to grow up in
a home where the seed is planted in the child’s mind that
there is a family money tree that automatically drops “green
stuff” once a week or once a month. Teach family members
that paying financial obligations promptly is part of integrity
and honesty development
Law
of Choices: Make self-education
a continuing process. This includes trade schools. Use night school
and correspondence classes to further prepare. Have your hands in
many pots. With today’s trend of heavy worldwide unemployment
you may wish to acquire a special skill or ability in a few areas
to avoid prolonged unemployment. Perhaps you wish to start a non-profit
organization to serve the world in some way. If you want to be spiritual
in your finances, take a few minutes and consider the causes that
are closest to your heart. Set your intention for manifestation.
Why do you want to acquire new skills? It doesn't matter what it
is as long as you intend the highest good for all. Impress your
intention, share it with God through prayer, and listen for guidance.
Law
of Expectations: Have
a long-range financial plan. Save and invest a specific percent
of your income.
Law
of Patterns: Strive
to understand and cope with existing inflation. Most wage earners
today have less purchasing power than they did in 1973. To some
degree inflation is probably going to be with us for a long time.
Realize that you are living in a new era of higher prices and less
abundant energy.
Law
of Perfection:Appropriately
involve yourself in a food storage program. Accumulate your basic
supplies in a systematic and an orderly way. Avoid going into debt
for these purposes. Beware of unwise promotional schemes.
Law
of Higher Will: Appropriately involve yourself
in a preventative health insurance program. In today’s world
health insurance is costly and subject to chemical treatments only.
Natural health options are usurped by big business in tandem with
corporate government leaving us with few alternatives. The best
insurance program with or without health insurance is preventative
care. Take care of your body-mind with nourishing foods and attitudes.
As a precautionary, you may wish to take out hospitalization insurance
in case of an accident. If you can't afford traditional insurance
visit your Doctor or health clinic annually. Self pay patients receive
discounts and clinics charge a nominal fee. Never leave a health
problem unchecked or untreated.
Law
of Honesty: Be honest in all financial affairs. The ideal
of integritywill never go out of
style. It applies to all we do. Pay your debts. Remember that debt
is trust. Someone or some company trusted that you would be good
for the money. Be grateful that you can pay your bills. Bless Your
Money. It is gratitude for the money you have in order to create
more money. Give thanks for the service you received, and pray that
you and your loved ones may continue to enjoy what each bill represents.
Send the same blessing to those who helped provide for you.
Tools are a sacred Gift when they help us release the past and establish
new patterns of prosperity consciousness. Theta
Healing will dissolve the barriers of poverty consciousness
and quickly open you to the flow of God's Infinite Abundance.
Success
doesn't come to you.
You must go to it.
You don't need more strength or more
ability or greater opportunity.
What you need is to use what you have.
The
golden opportunity you're seeking is in yourself.
It's not in your environment.
It's not in luck or chance or the help
of others.
It's in you.
There
will always be a new opportunity where there is an open mind
and a willing hand.
Open
your own door to opportunity.
By amending our mistakes, we get wisdom.
By defending our faults, we betray an
unsound mind.
