I know for some people talking about money, pensions, how much they earn, investment opportunities and so on seems to be almost a taboo subject. These often stem from beliefs such as ‘money is the root of all evil’, ‘rich people are only rich because they cheated someone’ and so on. These are all very negative attitudes towards something that is essentially very positive.

Think of all the things money allows you to do: travel around the world, spend time with friends, drive new cars, follow the latest clothing fashions, look after your family and so on…

These are all very enjoyable things so why not allow yourself to focus on, think about and talk about money. Here are a few ways in which you can actively attract and bring more money into your life.

1) Give away money! Try to give away 10% of your income to causes that you feel an affinity with. Doing so produces the feeling now that there is already enough to giveaway and strengthens the belief that money is coming to you, thus through the ‘law of attraction’ will draw money back to you. In short:

“Be the source in the life of others of that which you’d like in your own life” - Neale Donald Walsche

Don’t giveaway reluctantly as this sends out the signal of ‘lack’ which of course will attract that very thing.

2) Align your intentions and beliefs. These sound similar but are very different. Your intentions are conscious and are what you choose to do in your mind, whereas your beliefs are unconscious and include the sorts of phrases such as “money is the root
of all evil” as mentioned before.

Bob Proctor suggests the following affirmations as excellent beliefs to adopt:

“Money is good”
“I am the master, money is the servant’
“I am prosperous”
“I am wealthy”

3) Find a role model to copy. There are many people who are successful in this world, make it your business to find out specifically about the people who have been successful in your chosen field of endeavor, then copy their thoughts and actions, that is a certain shortcut to success. Autobiographies are a great starting point.

4) Don’t feel bad about creating money. It is not bad to be rich. think of all the positive things you can do with it. Think of the people and causes that you can help when you have more money. In fact, adopt a cause and make it a goal to share your financial success with this cause. This enables you to feel positive and good about making money whilst also helping others, A win, win situation.

5) Surround yourself with positive and vibrant people. People tend to become like the people they associate with so take a look around at your associates now. Do you see any of their positive or negative beliefs reflected in you?

6) Be grateful and appreciative for what you have in your life. Make a time in your day to just be thankful for what you have now. This feeling of thankfulness is the feeling of having it now, doing this will in turn attract more of the things that you are thankful for to you, and give you a much brighter mood at the same time.

7) Act Now! Very few people get rich by doing nothing. Take action. If you get and idea then act on it. Don’t sit around and wait for someone else to take your idea off of you and make money from it. Whatever you need to do, do it now, without a moments hesitation.

Following the above principles will inevitably lead you to an inner expectation of money, which will be self-fulfilling. Go ahead and decide to lead a prosperous life, it’s your choice.

You can activate the law of abundance by becoming aware of the large supply of unlimited possibilities around you. Before you can manifest more money you awareness and consciousness has to change. People who struggle about of financial lack often times invest most of their thinking in the scarcity of money and scarcity of things in their life. How often are hey able to see the richness of life in and around them is not often.

How much of your time goes into feeling sorry for what you don’t have or what you think is missing in your life. Your predominant thought pattern always shows up in your life. Whatever the mind processes on a continual basis will eventually show up in your physical reality.

Detach from the wanting of more money. Whenever you are in a state of wanting you are expanding energy. Just think for a moment of what wanting would look like if it there was an image that could be applied to it. When you are in a state of wanting you throw your energy outside of yourself. Wanting feels empty, it easily communicates lack. I want because I don’t have. The law of abundance requires that you align yourself with already observing and feeling abundant.

The law of abundance will duplicate whatever it is you already have. Often times when people learn of the power to manifest they often go out and spend what they have. The danger in this is that you are left without and the universal law of abundance always gives you more of what you already have.

Make a study of wealth and money rather than your observation of the lack of it. Cease conversations of money troubles all together. Stop looking at your bank account and wondering when you will finally have the amount of money you wish for.

Increase your spiritual power in order to become more magnetic. As you increase spiritual power your intentions become stronger, you ability to draw more out of less action increases.
Spiritual power can be compared to one person working tirelessly hour after hour to get what he wants while another takes right action which yields greater returns every time. What is the difference between a fisherman who cast his net and gets one fish as apposed to another fisherman who cast his net in the same location but gets hundreds of fish? The answer is dynamic power.

You can draw dynamic power into your being and begin to weave magic and miracles where previously you may have struggled to do.

Maintaining a scarcity consciousness takes very little effort at all. All we need do is read about all that’s wrong with the world in the newspapers on a daily basis. Scarcity is how the world generally operates. In the world of scarcity there is not enough to go around and in such a world we are never enough either, no matter how hard we try.
Prosperity consciousness is very different from the mindset of scarcity. A person with a prosperity consciousness inhabits a world of far greater optimism and possibility. Developing a prosperity consciousness is a bit like going to the gym. It takes practice and discipline before we start to see tangible results. Here are 13 ideas to get you going:

You can create your own blueprint of prosperity. Your state of consciousness allows, attracts, creates, or repels certain experiences into your life. Know that your consciousness is creative; this is the magical secret of living in the density of the earth plane. Your decisions and not your conditions determine your future. Commit to your highest destiny. You can consciously create your own blueprint for your life. Whatever you align your conscious and unconscious energies towards you will allow into your personal experience. Thoughts are creative at one level, beliefs and feelings yet another, words and actions again at another. Where attention goes energy flows and money is simply energy.

Your compelling vision will attract prosperity to you. The most important thing you can do is daily develop a larger vision for your life. Know that if you do not have a plan for your life then someone else will. Begin to think about the goals you have for the next year and the next five years. How do these goals fit together into a compelling vision? Begin to think about the intangible aspects of your vision such as freedom, love and security as well as the tangible things you want such as a house by the sea and a loving partner. Imagination and vision are keys to being prosperous. Focus on what you want. Stop putting energy into what you do not want. Energy follows thought. Intend that the best will happen, and you will find that it will. Begin to associate into being wealthy. See yourself doing well in life. Create a powerful metaphor for your life like “My life is a work of art in progress” or “My life is one long adventure”.

As you expand your belief you change your reality. A belief is something you hold to be true that generates a feeling of certainty in the thought. Thoughts are not reality. Beliefs can be changed. If you believe it you will see it and not the other way around. All personal breakthroughs happen as a result of a change in belief. Expanded belief is the foundation of prosperity, constricted or limited belief leads to the experience of lack and struggle. It is always useful to question what you assume about reality. Question all of these ideas and come up with your own. Open to expansive beliefs such as I am lucky around money, money is a plentiful resource, and I always have my needs met…

You can move through any resistance to being happy and wealthy. Know that you will have some form of resistance to your highest dreams. At the core of all resistance is fear and below that is pain. We do not want to face fear and pain and so we adopt all kinds of strategies to avoid these feelings. People who are unwilling to deal with their resistance will not be able to expand their zone of what is possible. Some people stop themselves because they associate being happy, successful and wealthy with fear and pain. If wealth is thought of as being a dangerous place then we will resist being wealthy. Resistance can show up as apathy, confusion, guilt, or shame. Some people have mixed associations with wealth, that is both pleasure and pain is associated with money. We can change our mental associations with wealth and thus open the way for our unconscious to want to assist us in creating wealth. The same principle can be used to change anything else we want.

You have within you the resources to live prosperously. Know that you have all the inner resources that you need. You may need to exercise them a little more. Trust yourself. Know you have (or can acquire) the resources to get where you want to go. You have a body that can move, a mind that can think and intuit, and feelings like passion and joy that can motivate you to move. You have tremendous conscious and unconscious resources that you have hardly tapped yet. Inside everyone there are latent gifts and talents waiting to be utilized. As NLP states there are no unresourceful people only unresourceful states. One way we dig into our resources or avoid connecting with them is the quality of the questions we think are important to answer. Asking questions like “Why am I such a consistent failure” is likely to elicit blame and self-attack. Asking a question like “What are my main strengths” is likely to elicit a more useful internal response. Begin to tease out resources like appreciation, curiosity, determination, flexibility and passion.

You can attract prosperity by maintaining a high vibrational state. According to NLP our inner state is all important. This idea is mirrored by many channeled sources who go further and say that our state determines our vibration which determines our reality. In this paradigm of thinking you can attract your higher good. Here both love and fear are equally highly magnetic. Therefore it is wise to choose love every time. Notice what keeps your energy high and what makes it spiral down. When our energy spirals down then our ability to attract what we want is hampered. Peace, passion, inspiration and joy are high prosperity states. Things like dancing, meditation, music, gorgeous art, inspirational books, and amazing poetry can keep your state high.

You can align yourself with the vibration of what you want. Know that deserve what you want. Know that you can have what you want. See, feel and sense yourself realizing your dreams. Associate into having the life you dream of. Use visualization for 10 minutes each day to intensely imagine yourself in the life you want to have.

You can choose to grow through joy and gratitude. One of the lessons on being on the earth plane is to learn to manifest your reality, to create all the things you need from the inside out. Learn to be prosperous and have fun. Play and be creative. Live to be all that you can be. Be childlike when exploring the universe rather than childish. Gratitude is a great way to attract more of your higher good. It helps you focus on the good things in your life which helps to open the door to them even wider.
You can learn to give and receive generously. Whatever you want start to give it away.

If you want more love then give love. If you want abundance then share abundance with others. If you want new opportunities then help others find opportunities. Be generous in your receiving. Allow others to give to you generously and learn to simply say thank you.

You can learn the discipline of keep taking action. Choose an area of your life and shake up your routine. Do something different. Persevere, take small steps towards your goals. Small steps are easier to take and integrate than large leaps of faith. Small steps are believable and therefore achievable. Research shows that 30 days is all it takes to change a habit. For one month do something different. Practice stepping outside of your comfort zone. Give away a flower to a stranger. Smile at a passing child. Give a cup of tea to a homeless person on the street. Treat a friend.

You can use both intuition and feedback to attain your goals. Your intuition can guide you towards making money and also help you avoid losing it. Trust and refine your feelings and gut instinct. At the same time use feedback to check that your intuition is on track. Know that money is one form of feedback. What is your bank statement trying to tell you. Look at what is working and what is not working. Both trust your intuition and use feedback from the world to adjust your plans and actions.

You can learn to let go of attachment to results. This can be a tricky one at the beginning. You need to both set goals and not be attached to how those goals are realized. Do not limit the ways that your goals and dreams can be realized. Be both unattached and at the same time expect the best.

You can inhabit a friendly and prosperous universe. Even though you live in a reality that spans the nightmarish to the divine you can choose the world you live in. You do not have to share a fearful or aggressive reality that some people choose. Many live in such realities and do not realize that they have the choice to change that reality. By choosing to live in a loving universe you must let go of all of the people and situations that inhabit a fearful world. You cannot make another person live in a loving world. You can only make that choice for yourself and then be an example to others. You are intimately connected to the universal source of life. The same intelligence and power that births and sustains the stars is available to help. The rule of thumb is that this power can only help to the degree that we understand we are channels for power. If we see this power as existing outside ourselves and plead for help it cannot flow through us or through others towards us.

In communications especially, we are bombarded with information with more and more messages, more and more media, more data, more choice. Technology opens channels of information faster than we can assimilate them. There are more books and magazines, more mailing lists, more demographics and databases. Computers have revolutionized print production and the internet has spawned an entirely new dimension of interactive communication.

A staggering number of start up businesses and big business have fallen apart simply due to their failure to determine their target audience and how to attract customers. So, to attract new customers and retain existing customers, you have to identify a specific demographic group that will have the interest to buy your products or services.

Let’s use a simple example to illustrate the importance of identifying the target audience of any business. Suppose you offer online hair care tips, counseling and related services. This means your range is wide, spanning children to fashion conscious teenagers and women of all ages. This further requires you to formulate varied marketing campaigns that will convey your services to each specific component of the broad market. This requires your marketing campaign to portray the range of services into specialized components, such as hair care for toddlers, hair care for infants, hair care for teenagers and so on.

How to Attract Customers by Asking the Right Questions

The following questions will enable you to optimize your strategy on how to attract customers and get you the best results in identifying your target audience without the risk of making errors:

*What age group of customers will require my products or services?
*Which gender would be keen to use my products or services?
*What is the income group of the customers who are likely to use my products or services?
*What level of education are my prospective customers likely to have?
*Would my product/service be an essential item or a luxury item?
*Would my product/service be an impulse buy or something that my customers would have to save up for?
*Would the Internet, newspaper articles or any external factor play a decisive role in determining my customer’s final decision whether or not to buy my product/services?

With these categories, you will be able to attract customers to what your business is offering.

How to Attract Customers By Tempting Them

Business is not just about communicating what you offer but it is about tempting your existing customers and prospective customers with tantalizing offers that they can’t say “No” to.

Those who love food, for example, will never refuse if you offer a free recipe sample or discount coupons that you may offer on your site. Those who are ardent videogamers will definitely not pass up any offers of free downloads that are meant for gamers.

So you see, the key to success in any business is not only to identify your target market but also utilize every opportunity you can get to present your customers with some tempting offer, relevant information or customized, unique services that enable them to meet their needs.

Remember, once their interest is piqued, your next step must be in reinforcing trust using other means of communication with your target group. This may be done through ads, newsletters, email, blogs and so on. This way, your list of email contacts and buyers will grow organically as you build more and more customers through viral marketing.

With tantalizing incentives, such as buy-one-get-one-free offers, and forward-to-a-friend referral program or subscription links in newsletters, you will definitely know how to attract customers to use your website.

It reveals a seven-step formula that will help anyone who uses it.

Joe Vitale, nicknamed “Mr. Fire,” was made famous by the recent hit movie The Secret. A bestselling author of several books, including The Attractor Factor, Joe Vitale says you can attract money spiritually - starting right now.

Here are the five steps Joe Vitale recommends, as presented in “Spirit Money: Five Steps to Attract Money When You Have None,” a section of his compilaton book The E-Code: 33 Internet Superstars Reveal 43 Ways to Make Money Online Almost Instantly - Using Only E-mail.

1. Get the Lesson

Vitale says there’s a reason why you are in the situation you’re presently in. The sooner you truly understand and fully process that reason, the sooner you will be able to move your life forward. “If you are broke right now, ask yourself what the lesson in being broke is for you,” he writes. “Don’t settle on flip answers…And don’t blame others.” Instead, confront the question honestly and comprehensively.

2. Obey the Impulse

Do you feel an inner tug or nudge of some kind? Vitale explains that, deep down, most people realize they are being pulled in a direction. They need to meditate on that and then act. He says that when you intelligently act on this nudge, it’s an example of “inspired action.”

3. Demand Resolution

Vitale cites Jesus as an example of spiritual determination. “When Jesus healed the sick,” Vitale explains, “[Jesus] didn’t say, ‘I hope you get better.’ Instead, he said, ‘Rise and walk.’” That’s the kind of resolve that people must have today.

t is debatable that the real lesson of Jesus’ miracles is a call to greater self-determination. Jesus’ purpose was much greater than that. But Vitale nevertheless is correct that one must “exert [his or her] power” to truly see results.

4. Give Thanks

Vitale says it’s better to contemplate your life’s situation, relax, and be thankful for it — than it is to rebel against it. The latter is wasted energy and counter-productive. The former is a constructive way in which we can receive the “great gift” intended for us in our present condition.

5. Expect Miracles

Again, Vitale alludes to faith and Jesus. He refers to the “mustard seed” quote for which Jesus is so famous, and points out that a mustard seed has no identity problems. “A mustard seed has no doubt,” writes Vitale. “It is clear about what it is. Start being a mustard seed.”

Joe Vitale’s five-step plan for attracting money will probably be too mystical and “New Age” like for some, but it would be wrong to dismiss it completely. There is much merit to it, even from a Christian perspective. It was, after all, Jesus who said: “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”

Money is a means to an end, not the end itself. You cannot eat money, and it cannot keep you warm or cuddle you at night. Simply having money is not the goal. The goal is to use it to do whatever your heart leads you to do, and to do that which fulfills your divine purpose.

Many people who attend my workshops struggle with conflicting issues of morality and money. Perhaps you do, too. Perhaps you’ve been brought up to believe that money is evil. Perhaps you were taught the myth of noble poverty—that good people don’t dream about wealth and prosperity, because doing so is greedy. As a result, part of you chooses to remain poor, and your life feels constrained and unfulfilled. You may have a sense that your dreams will never be achieved, and you live with the fear that life is passing you by.

Then perhaps another part of you—the part that caused you to pick up this book—believes that God wants more for you, that it’s not God’s will for you to endlessly struggle from paycheck to paycheck. In your heart you know that God loves you and wants the best for you. You sense that God has a special plan for you, and that if only you had the financial means, you could be out in the world, doing God’s work and making a positive difference in the lives of other people, as well as fully making the most of this precious life that God has blessed you with.

A lot of us are torn between these two sides of ourselves because of the contradictory messages we’ve gotten our whole lives concerning spirituality and money. It’s no wonder that when it comes to our finances, so many people feel conflicted and confused.

LEARNING TO ACCEPT OUR DESIRES

Many people want something—a house, a car, a new pair of shoes—but feel that they can’t afford it. So they feel virtuous when they let themselves off the hook by saying, “Oh, I don’t really want that thing. And anyway, I shouldn’t be so materialistic.”

Contrary to popular belief, God doesn’t love a martyr. I should know; I played one for many years. Denying our material desires is not what God wants us to do. What we could choose to do instead is grow, develop our courage and faith, and stand up and say without guilt or hesitation, “This is what I want!”

If you desire something, and then you deny that you desire it, that’s cowardice and spiritual laziness. And what’s more, it’s a lie.

God wants us to do more, to have more, to play big. God doesn’t want us to deny our desires. After all, God put those desires in us, and we must celebrate them! Life is not about struggling, and being unhappy, and then dying. It is about enjoying and appreciating everything life has to offer. Through joy, we glorify God.

These ideas may be new to you. They often are to the people who attend my seminars, and those people often have lots of questions. Let me pose some of the most common questions and share my ideas about them.

“WHAT IS MONEY, ANYWAY?”

There is a lot written about what money is. Some scholars say it is “deferred service.” Some say it is energy. Some believe that money is a spiritual symbol of invisible spiritual substance. Spiritual substance is what the mystics call the invisible body of God out of which all things are created—your clothes, your jewelry, your shoes, and the chair you are sitting in. It’s all created out of one invisible substance called the body of God.

Money is an energy system we are using right now, which I believe will one day disappear. Money will no longer be necessary. Because, as Charles Fillmore, the cofounder of the Unity Church, says, “We shall serve for the joy of serving.” And when we do, everything that we need and want will flow to us. So we won’t need money.

But money is not going to disappear until we have mastered it, until we know that there is really no power in it, that it’s here as an item to serve us, and that we don’t have to earn it, or struggle for it, or do anything we don’t want to do to get money. We certainly don’t have to work a job we hate for it.

I believe that God is not way high up, way far away. I believe God is within us. I believe God is a part of everything we see and do, no matter how mundane. And what is more mundane than money? We touch it and handle it every day, in so many big and small different ways. You carry it with you. Every single piece of our money, down to the lowly penny, has a prayer on it: In God we trust.

“IS IT GREEDY TO DESIRE MATERIAL GOODS?”

Being rich doesn’t mean you’re greedy or bad. Still, when we think of accumulating wealth, many of us think of Ebenezer Scrooge, counting his coins in a cold, unlit room, and we don’t want to be like that. We may instinctively dislike and distrust people when we feel that they want everything for themselves, and nothing for anyone else.

But this need not be the case. Let’s take as an example Oprah Winfrey, who has far, far more money than any one person could ever need or possibly spend. If great wealth is an indicator of greed, then she must be one of the greediest people on the planet. But do we think that Oprah is greedy and materialistic because she lives in lavish mansions? Of course not! We’re too busy paying rapt attention to how she went to South Africa to work with AIDS orphans. We admire her for her genuine care for other people and for her giving and generous spirit.

Greed is when you say, “I want this, and I don’t want you to have it.” It’s not greedy to say, “I want lots, and I want you to have lots, too.” If you believe that there is no end to God’s abundance, then everyone should have all that they want, and then more.

Money is like love: The more you give away, the more you have. Love is a limitless resource, and so is money, and both were created by God to enrich our lives and allow us to live fully, joyfully, and completely. And you’re going to discover the truth of the law of compensation, that you cannot outgive God. Emerson said that: You cannot outgive God. And he was absolutely correct.

Most people consider MONEY a measure of life force. By expending life force, i.e. working, a person receives a certain amount of money in return. This is what I call materialistic money. This view has a very limiting belief system that says there are those who have and those who don’t have.

Many people project their unresolved issues onto money, including religion, sex, power, family, unresolved karma, self worth and a host of other highly creative possibilities. If, for example, you feel unworthy of love from your family and you’ve projected family issues onto money, then you won’t allow yourself to receive. Or you’ll energetically give off the information that you’re not worthy, ensuring that people don’t pay you for your services.

The way we think it is….
When you work with money materialistically, you perceive the source of money outside of yourself in a form that is constantly judging you. This means your life force energy flows out horizontally in front of your low belly to a false form that you consider the source of money. This might be the government, your boss, clients, parents or to whomever you give away your power. Energetically this creates a reversed flow to growth and evolution. In other words, it limits and restricts the inflow of money.

The way it really is…
If you strip money to its purest essence, it represents an energy flow from the Creator Source. It nourishes the life force within us. We live in an abundant world and universe, with plenty of life nourishing energy for all of us. When this concept is known throughout every fiber of your being then money transforms from a materialistic level to a spiritualized one. It becomes an expression of life force not a measure of it.

Life force energy naturally moves through us vertically while we are in our human bodies. To have greater amounts of money in your life, simply increase the flow of vital life force energy through your body. Your intentions will decide the form of expression that the life force energy takes, including money. What creates vital life force energy is joy and reverence for life. When you express your life force energy with joy and reverence, money will naturally follow. Below are four simple, but profound steps to apply this principle and increase the flow of money in your life:

Affirm the abundance of life force in your life. All that is in your life is an expression of what you have created from life force energy. If you are only noticing the lack of money, you are affirming a story that there is not enough life force. This reduces the flow through you as whatever you place your attention increases. Your home, car, food, clothes, family, work, health can all be areas that you can affirm as a positive and abundant life force flow. The traditional form for affirming is to express appreciation from your heart to the Creator Source for all that you have.

Acknowledge the forms that nourish you spiritually and emotionally. That might be a religious or other spiritual organization. It might also be an organization that affirms your reverence for life as it works to end world hunger, bring aid to those who need medical help or provides homes for the homeless. Whatever the form that spiritually nourishes you, it should be something that you feel passionate about. The traditional form for acknowledgement is donating money.

Pay it forward. By generously donating money at the beginning of the month before all the bills are paid, you are making a powerful statement that you are in a place of thriving not just surviving. Generosity opens the channels for life force flow. Energetically you are also calibrating your field to that which spiritually nourishes the life force within you. This magnetizes your field. Since money is highly magnetic then you attract more of it to you. You also attract other forms of abundance as well.

Add intention to your money. When you work with spiritualized money you are free from those agencies that try to control you. Each time you spend money, you are making an energetic statement about what you stand for, what you value. You can take this concept even further. When you pay the electric bill, your taxes, or a credit card, your money can carry your spiritual values with it and become an agent for change…no pun intended! Simply link your check or money to your spiritual values with an intention. Want to see your tax money support education, peace, tolerance? Tell your check to do that.

Here are five quick tips to attract more money into your life:

1. Appreciate money! If even a penny shows up on the sidewalk, thank Money for the gift. Don’t worry about denomination; appreciate everything. Think of how good you feel when you are valued for even a small gesture. It’s the same for Money. Every time you practice receiving and appreciating, you train the universe to send you more.

2. Strengthen your Boundaries. I define boundaries as the courage to say “yes” to what you want and “no” to what you don’t want. You teach the universe how you want to be treated with every choice you make. Let go of what others think about you, and be true to yourself. Clear the clutter and energy drains in your life. Weak boundaries attract exploitation, resentment, and a sense of powerlessness. Strong boundaries build your self esteem, and they free you to focus on what is important to you. This is very attractive.

3. Make a Wish List. Make a list of 100 things you would be, do or have if money were no object. The length of the list stretches you out of scarcity thinking. The items on the list put what you want on your radar. Wish lists are magical. Through a mental process called Reticular Activation, your mind will start to discover opportunities to manifest the items on your list that may have been invisible to you before. Notice how things on your list will “show up” with the means to pay for them!

4. Become an excellent money manager. Automatically divert a percentage of your income into a wealth building/financial freedom account. Get in the habit of building wealth, even if you are paying down debt. And set aside something to give to the charities and causes you care about. Nothing builds a sense of abundance like the ability to give to others!

5. Surround yourself with the people who have mastered what you want to learn, and you will evolve yourself that much faster. I call this Success by Association. We naturally take on characteristics of the people we are around the most. If you want to be financially free, spend your time with financially successful people who share your values. Pick up their mindset and practices for wealth building. Your worldview and your behavior will naturally shift to support more abundance.

Riches are of the mind. Let us suppose for a moment that a physician’s diploma was stolen to gether with his office equipment. I am sure you would agree that his wealth was in his mind. He could still carry on, diagnose disease, prescribe, operate, and lecture on materia medica. Only his symbols were stolen; he could always get additional supplies. His riches were in his mental ca pacity, knowledge to help others, and his ability to contribute to humanity in general.

You will always be wealthy when you have an intense desire to contribute to the good of man kind. Your urge for service—i.e., to give of your talents to the world—will always find a response in the heart of the universe.

I knew a man in New York during the financial crisis of 1929, who lost everything he had in cluding his home and all his life’s savings. I met him after a lecture which I had given at one of the hotels in the city. This was what he said: “I lost everything. I made a million dollars in four years. I will make it again. All I have lost is a symbol. I can again attract the symbol of wealth in the same way that honey attracts flies.”

I followed the career of this man for several years to discover the key to his success. The key may seem strange to you; yet it is a very old one. The name he gave the key was, “Change water into wine!” He read this passage in the Bible, and he knew it was the answer to perfect health, happiness, peace of mind, and prosperity.

Wine in the Bible always means the realization of your desires, urges, plans, dreams, proposi tions, etc.; in other words, it is the things you wish to accomplish, achieve, and bring forth.

Water in the Bible usually refers to your mind or consciousness. Water takes the shape of any vessel into which it is poured; likewise, whatever you feel and believe as true will become manifest in your world; thus you are always changing water into wine.

The Bible was written by illumined men; it teaches practical, everyday psychology and a way of life. One of the cardinal tenets of the Bible is that you determine, mould, fashion, and shape your own destiny through right thought, feeling, and beliefs. It teaches you that you can solve any problem, overcome any situation, and that you are born to succeed, to win, and to triumph. In order to discover the Royal Road to Riches, and receive the strength and security necessary to ad vance in life, you must cease viewing the Bible in the traditional way.

The above man who was in a financial crisis used to say to himself frequently during the days when he was without funds, “I can change water into wine!” These words meant to him, “I can exchange the poverty ideas in my mind for the realization of my present desires or needs which are wealth and financial supply.”

His mental attitude (water) was, “Once I made a fortune honestly. I will make it again (wine).” His regular affirm-ation consisted of, “I attracted the symbol (money) once, I am at tracting it again. I know this, and feel it is true (wine).”

This man went to work as a salesman for a chemical organization. Ideas for the better pro motion of their products came to him; he passed them on to his organization. It was not long until he became vice president. Within four years the company made him president. His constant men tal attitude was, “I can change water into wine!”

Look upon the story in John of changing water into wine in a figurative way, and say to yourself as the above mentioned chemical salesman did: “I can make the invisible ideas, urges, dreams, and desires of mine visible, because I have discovered a simple, universal law of mind.”

The law he demonstrated is the law of action and reaction. It means your external world, body, circumstances, environment, and financial status are always a perfect reflection of your inner thinking, beliefs, feelings, and convictions. This being true, you can now change your inner pat tern of thought by dwelling on the idea of success, wealth, and peace of mind. As you busy your mind with these latter concepts, these ideas will gradually seep into your mentality like seeds planted in the ground. As all seeds (thoughts and ideas) grow after their kind, so will your habitual thinking and feeling manifest in prosperity, success, and peace of mind. Wise thought (action) is followed by right action (reaction).

You can acquire riches when you become aware of the fact that prayer is a marriage feast. The feast is a psychological one; you meditate on (mentally eat of) your good or your desire until you become one with it.
