Many of us do not consider the underlying belief system about money to be of any importance. You think it does not matter because what matters is what you do now—right at one level but not complete.
All ideas that we have learned about money in the past are coloring our actions today. These are ideas that you are unconsciously following because you are not aware of them.
It may be: “money is bad,” “there is never enough money,” “money does not grow on trees,” etc. The list is long and painful to read when you realize that this is actually a part of you.
I was thinking: How come these beliefs are so strong? Why am I blocking myself from financial freedom? I have been working on myself for six years now, and the beliefs are still there!
So, I went looking for answers in self-help books, personal development books, New Age books, and financial freedom articles, I have been talking to a lot of people. The answer that I come up with so far is that the underlying beliefs are coming in as all other conditioning: from our early years.
Some people also suggest that past life experiences can have an influence. Our childhood conditioning mainly comes from our parents as well as from the rest of our family and the environment around us.
If the idea in the place you grew up is that money is scarce, you can be sure that this idea sneaked into your mind somewhere along the line, and it is probably stuck there without you knowing it.
You are just wondering why there never seems to be enough money around. So, if you can now grasp the idea of negative thinking patterns about money, I will tell you to move on.
If it is difficult for you to accept this idea and you are now thinking that this does not count for you because you have learned positive thinking, that is great!
But look at the reality and do a little checkup: Is my positive thinking really working?
I am asking you to do this because my experience is that positive thinking and a YES! mentality is not always enough.
The negative thought patterns I am talking about are deep; you can call them “root thought” or “sponsoring thought”; they are thoughts that are lying underneath and behind your conscious thoughts that you are thinking on an everyday basis. They are very strong—and strong enough to sabotage your new way of thinking that may be very positive and good.
I point this out very strongly because it is important that you are willing to look at your own thoughts and to work on them to change them into healthy sponsoring thoughts that are healthy for you and will bring you abundance and wealth instead of struggle and suffering.
To change these thoughts, you have to be persistent; you will need a burning desire to train your mind into thinking differently.
You will have to do a little brainwash and afterwards a lot of relearning with your new and healthy thoughts. To train your mind, I will explain to you the concept “Act as if.”
“Act as if” works the other way around of the normal creation process, which goes like this: thought, word, deed (action). An idea comes into your mind as a thought and takes shape and becomes clear. That is the first step in creating.
Then comes the next step, which is the word. In the gospel of Saint John in the Bible: “In the beginning was only the word,” there is a great truth—only that in the very, very beginning, there was also a thought; an idea.
The word is spoken or written and makes the idea more strong; more solid. This is already a big accomplishment in the creation process, but the idea is still not physical reality.
This comes in the third step, “deed”—or the action that you do—to give your idea physical form. Take a look at this practical example: I had an idea a long time ago that it would be great to have a practical how-to guide on how to create financial freedom; initially, I had the idea because many of my friends and people I met were complaining about the lack of money to do what they want.
As I talked with them, it seemed that the reasons for these problems often were similar, and I had a feeling that there had to be a solution for this. I wanted to find the solutions (step one: ideas and thoughts); write them down and make them clear as well as easy to understand when spoken in a seminar or written down (step two: word); and then in the end to create this article and make it available for everyone who would be interested (step three: deed and action). As you are now reading this article, you can see the practical result of the thought-word-deed process unfolding straight in front of you! Going back to where we started, with the concept of “Act as if,” we have to look at why and how to do it.
