Imagine you are in the middle of a giant spider web that is stretched out across the Grand Canyon. Each thread of that web that is holding you safely where you are represents a member of society. What you say, do, feel or even think will strengthen or weaken each person or group of people in that web. Would you want to strengthen them or weaken them?
We are a tangled web of consciousness; what we do, say, feel and think contributes to that web.
Let’s examine classism, money consciousness (prosperity or poverty mindset), and the law of attraction.
If we are standing in the grocery store and we see a family in front of us or a single person in front of us that looks perfectly healthy and is well dressed and they pay with government food stamps what goes through our minds? For some people it might be thoughts and feelings of anger, resentment, jealousy, judgment, entitlement, confusion and other things. As we do that we are weakening that person.
If we see a very wealthy person driving a car that cost more than 10 of our homes put together and they seem to be having a very happy day and we just found out that our home is in danger of being foreclosed on because of financial issues we are having, or we have an ill family member and insurance won’t pay for the treatments or whatever may be going on in our lives, what thoughts and feelings might we be having? The same as the person on food stamps I’m sure. Jealousy, resentment, anger, judgment, entitlement, confusion and so on. Same junk, different package and a different set of justifications would plague our minds and hearts. In that moment we are weakening that person and therefore endangering ourselves.
As we create such feelings and thoughts towards others we are weakening the very fabric of life we stand on. We are creating a ripple in the fabric that affects our lives. We won’t become wealthy because we view it so negatively and see it as a disease and we wouldn’t want to choose a disease. If and when we have financial issues, make mistakes that affect our finances we see ourselves in that same light as we see those that are in poverty.
As we see others as horrible, weak, careless, lazy, selfish, etc and as we have feelings of resentment, jealousy, and anger towards them we are seeing ourselves in the same way. The subconscious mind is much like the iceberg where what is under the water is where the majority of the iceberg is at, our life is controlled as much if not more so by our unconscious mind which is what lies just beneath the surface making the biggest impact.
Our subconscious mind is very literal, exact and absolute. If we decide that having money is horrible then our subconscious mind sends out these messages to avoid letting that happen to us. And if poverty is the same evil then we do the same causing us a form of self hatred and fear. Money in the bank is more than others so therefore we are bad, and is less than others therefore we are bad. So our finances do a yo yo affect until we heal that judgment and all of the feelings that come with it.
What if next time we see a person in the grocery store that is using food stamps and we chose to send them love and energy that they are loved exactly as they are exactly where they are. And when we see that person that is far wealthier than us we send them love too that they are loved exactly as they are and exactly where they are, how would that shift our lives?
When we decide to love people exactly as they are, we are allowing ourselves to love ourselves exactly as we are and vice versa. The subconscious mind will see that it is ok to be either way financially and we can then move about freely experiences a full range of movement without the limits created by such false belief systems.
Focusing on facts creates more facts. Focusing on the truth will change the facts.
The facts are some people have more money than others. But the truth is that we are all one in this abundant universe. We are all part of the same abundant source that created us and we all have equal access. The facts are what limit us when the facts are what we focus on. The facts are the fences but the truth is what dissolves those fences. So as you see that you are in an abundant universe and are not bound by false beliefs or facts and are freed by focusing on the truths you will experience prosperity exactly as you desire it to fit your dreams.
As Rev. Chris Michaels said “manage the facts and focus on the truth. Focusing on the truth will shift the facts”. The facts are that we have bills to pay, things to do and places to go; the truth is, we are abundant and living in an abundant universe and there are no exceptions to this rule. As well live our lives in this way we let our subconscious mind see that a constant flow of abundance is natural and acceptable.
Our subconscious mind is the messenger to the universe. What goes on deep within us is what the universe is paying attention to. If our subconscious mind knows that we are one with abundance then it sends the signal to the universe saying “yup, she / he is ready to participate in abundance! Bring it on” and then the universe sends the supplies that have just been hanging out waiting for us.
Surrender is a big part of this. As you manage your facts but have faith that you are living in an abundant universe you will experience the shift and start living according to the truth. But if you stay focused on the facts the subconscious mind will see that that is the direction you want your life to go so it will signal the universe “hey! She’s/he’s focusing on lack so more lack please!” and the cycle continues.
But how do you shift?
Aha! The big question, “how” comes to mind. How may vary slightly person to person but there are some very universal laws in this as well.
Discovering what beliefs you hold at your core level and cleaning those out is key. We hold on to decisions and beliefs we have developed even as young as 3 or younger. Can you imagine going to a 4 year old and asking for financial advice? Or asking an 8 year old advice on how to build a house? We wouldn’t go to children for advice in how to have relationships, invest our money, raise our children and so on, not consciously but subconsciously we are doing it every day.
While a lot of advice children can give is definitely worth considering as they are closer to source than adults are we are still better off taking the total sum of things into consideration. Such as when you buy a home you have your attorney’s, realtors, and or financial advisors to answer questions we really want to make decisions that are weighed out carefully on many levels. If a child advices that you would have a better marriage if you yelled less, well of course, but this knowledge of the child having wisdom is paired with your life’s experience to see that this is true.
So back to the question of how; some of the strongest techniques are EFT Tapping, meditation, success coaching, hypnosis, and even cognitive behavioral therapy can be helpful. Or a combination of these may be most impactful.
While some self defeating beliefs are right beneath the service others are hidden far below. EFT Tapping is very affective for uncovering those deep beliefs that consciously you would insist couldn’t exist within you and through tapping you will be able to uncover these beliefs, release and replace them.
The “how to” has been my biggest search and although I find it is truly and individual experience I strongly see that some tools such as tapping, meditation, coaching and a combinations of healing arts are extremely beneficial on a universal level. As well I recommend a diverse range of reading, some workshops and seminars to expand your knowledge and to solidify what you are learning.
Attending seminars and events puts you in direct contact with other likeminded people on the same or similar path as you and helps to strengthen your working knowledge and gain support needed in your shift.
Other factors I have discovered for success in these areas are a daily routine that consist of spiritual practice of some sort, study on that spiritual belief or beliefs, study in other areas, fitness and meditation. Daily acts of self love and personal development are key to effectiveness in life.
I will end this here but I will continue to explore more on the mindset and how it affects what we manifest in our lives.
