To be conscious of being poor and to pray to a God for riches is to be rewarded with that which you are conscious of being – which is poverty.
Prayers, to be successful, must be claiming rather than begging – so if you would pray for riches turn from your picture of poverty by denying the very evidence of your senses and assume the nature of being wealthy.
If I told a story that had hidden within it the combination to a lock, and you broke the code and unlocked the lock, would you then have to go back and read the story every time you wanted to unlock the lock or would you now focus on what you have already decoded and simply unlock it?
Maybe you like the story and like reading it... and that would be your preference, but not necessary to unlock the lock.
Let those who like reading stories, read them... but if that story was written to reveal a truth about life, and you now know that truth, that's what it's really about.
If you keep these teachings simple.. and don't get caught up in the allegories, parables, stories, fables and metaphors that you're not able to see how simple and easy it is.... I think you're missing the point of what these teachings teach.
If others want to get something else out of these teachings, other than the truth, let them. But if you're looking to know how life works for us.. how manifesting works.. which is what these teachings teach... focus on what was revealed.. and not what had to BE revealed.
To reach this level of understanding was mind blowing to me. I like so many books, so many authors, how they were written.. but the bottom line was.. what are these boos REALLY teaching? That's what I wanted to know.
That's what I found out.
It's my WORDS. Believing words is and always has created my reality.
What an AWESOME discovery... what an AWESOME revelation.
It removed so many questions from my mind.
It was the truth that set me free.
Once you figure certain things out you'll be able to tell when others haven't.
Principles for example. One principle is thinking from the wish fulfilled. If you consider yourself a student of metaphysics, you should make sure you understand this. If you don't, you're probably contradicting yourself and more than likely getting mixed results.
If you do understand it, it might just stop you from asking others questions.. and instead ask yourself, for example... how did I know it would be so easy to do this? Rather that asking someone else.. how do I do this? Ask the question, to yourself, as if you already have the answer... because that's the principle of thinking from the wish fulfilled.
How did I.. not how do I.
If you don't apply this principle, you'll never experience the results of applying this principle. You've been given the principle.. it's up to you to apply it. You've been shown the door.. but it's up to you to walk through it.
The more you apply metaphysical principles, the quicker you'll get results.
The event must always imply fulfillment of the wish. Always construct an event which you believe you would naturally encounter following the fulfillment of your desire.
If I desire to be wealthy, I may not know how long it will take me to reach the conviction that I possess great wealth, but when I feel wealth is mine I have conceived. Conception is my end.
