Day 20:
"I keep my mind and thoughts off "this world" and I place my entire focus on God within as the only Cause of my prosperity. I acknowledge the Inner Presence as the only activity in my financial affairs, as the substance of all things visible. I place my faith in the Principle of Abundance in action within me."
When I sit quietly with myself and contemplate Life - especially how it emerges and then expresses itself in the myriad of forms around me - I am so knowing that all ALL life is activated and sustained by a force, energy, intelligence so much greater than I can even imagine. When I allow my mind to embrace this larger idea of Life, I always come back to the belief that this same energy, intelligence is present within me. I am using it all of the time, even if I am not consciously aware of using it.
So my task today is to become even more conscious that all I am is immersed in this presence - it operates through me. Therefore, the abundance or prosperity or activty that it is engaged in through me operates automatically, if I but open myself and allow the flow.

Day 19:
"When I am aware of the Gof-Self within me as my total fulfillment, I am totally fulfilled. I am now aware of this Truth. I have found the secret of life, and I relax in the knowledge that the Activity of divine Abundance is eternally operating in my life. I simply have to be aware of the flow, the radiation, of that Creative Energy, which is continuously, easily and effortlessly pouring forth from my Divine Consciousness. I am now aware. I am now in the flow."
Awareness! That is always the key and yet, how readily I find my mind obsorbed in an idea, or a belief - or especially an opinion - that takes me away from this inner awareness of my God-Self. Just yesterday, I had a conversation on the telephone with someone seeking to employ me for a particular position in another city about 300 miles from where I live. When I asked about compensation for my travel expenses, I was informed that they were not covering them and that this expense was mine to absorb. Immediately, I felt an inner stirring of "this is not okay". I felt unsupported and dishonored that I was being expected to "pay for an interview."
Then, as I took this issue into prayer, I decided to take another look at the dynamic and kick into my inner awareness of always being supported - no matter what. My awareness tells me that I am only dishonored or unsupported if I allow that thought to become "real" for me - if I believe it! Since I am desiring to live from an inward connection with my True Self, I had to come back to the realization that I am always - ALWAYS - honored and always - ALWAYS - supported, regardless of what appears in my human experience.
I have the ability to change my awareness and bring myself back to what I desire to believe about myself and what is actually True - rather than get caught in a negative perception - or false belief. The creative flow of abundance is operating and I am now aware of that flow. Life is good!

Day 18:
"My consciousness of the Spirit within me as my unlimited Source is the Divine Power to restore the years the locusts have eaten, to make all things new, to ift me up to the High Road of abundant prosperity. This awareness, understanding and knowledge of Spirit appears as every visible form and experience that I could possibly desire."
What are the locusts? I think they are the negative beliefs and ideas - the engrained secular thinking that programs us (me) to believe that the objects or things or forms in my life are representative of the abundance of Spirit in life. In actuality, it is simply the awareness of my inner being - my inner knowing - that I am the abundance of my life period. Once this knowing is fully embodied, then scarcity and limitation or lack no longer hold sway over my life or my experience, and I am restored to my original whole and naturally abundant state of Being.

Day 17:
"The Divine Consciousness that I am is forever expressing its true nature of Abundance. This is its responsibility, not mine. My only responsibility is to be aware of this Truth. Therefore, I am totally confident in letting go and letting God appear as the abundant all-sufficiency in my life and affairs."
There it is again - the letting go issue. Isn't control an interesting idea to cotemplate. What exactly do I think I have control of? Certainly not life itself, for life flows thru me unbidden at all times. And, so as this thing called life expresses its nature thru me, it naturally creates all it needs to sustain itself. Anything that I add - from a human perspective - is frosting on the cake. I simply set into motion my desire and allow the unfolding to take place...being a witness to the "all-sufficiency" as it reveals itself.

Day 16:
"My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the Principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any needs or unfulfilled desires."
This morning, my focus on this statement automatically went to "...according to my needs and desires". If I am honest with myself, I realize that all my needs are met all the time: I always have a lovely, safe, comfortable place to call home (whether my own or someone else's); I always have more than enough delicious food to nourish my physical body; I have several very close friends who love me unconditionally; I feel uplifted and fulfilled in my work; I am healthy and have boundless energy and vitality; my connection with Spirit is sweet and nurturing to my soul; my creative urges have an outlet in my teaching, my writing, etc.; ...so now to desires. Quite honestly, my desires appear to be very few at the moment and pretty basic. I desire more love connections in my life experience, whether in the form of a lover, or simply in my consciously expressing love to others; I desire to express and experience joy each and every day; I desire to enhance my listening skills to more consciously hear what is beneath the words; I desire to set myself free from the internal "obligations" I have created in my life; I desire to be a more conscious friend - to myself and to others; I desire to release any fear of any kind that lurks in my consciousness....especially the fear of what others might think of me or my actions.
A friend sent me a list of questions and the one that keeps glaring at me is: "When I die, no matter when it is, I will wish I had."...and my answer is, "worked less, _played more_, traveled the world to meet more of my companians on earth and learn about other cultures - in other words not played it so safe and "responsible"...

Day 15:
"Money is not my supply. No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding and knowledge of the all-providing activity of the Divine Mind within me is my supply. My consciousness of this Truth is unlimited, therefore, my supply is unlimited."
Realizing that I am always supplied - with everything I need or desire - by the Divine Mind within me, I am feeling disconnected from the forms and feel always at one with the higher purpose of my inward beingness - and that is simply to love. My attachment to forms (house, car, etc) appears to sometimes override my inner KNOWING that everything I need I already have - and it has nothing to do with form.
I appear to be a well-trained Western human placing so much emphasis and attention on acquiring or maintaining my "forms". Those nagging inner questions: who am I without my stuff? - do I really need to pay all this money for a car? Is not the inner me the priceless composition of my being? When I die will people really care that I drove a Prius? Will the furniture, knick-knacks, art, jewelry, clothes, etc. all be mentioned in my eulogy? I think not....
Amazing how just one day can shift me into a completely different way of looking at this little practice - which is turning out ot be pretty big!

Day 14:
"Through my consciousness of my God Self, the Christ within, as my Source, I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of Spirit. This substance is my supply, thus my consciousness of the Presence of God within me is my supply"
Once again, I must come back to my own being - reminding myself of who I really am. The I AM presence - the creator of all life - is who I am made up of, so I naturally (when I can claim and accept this truth) am supplied with everything I need or desire when my inner knowing matches my inner feeing - the oneness aligns. This is truly my supply.

Day 13
There is that word Lavish again - and as have been reading (re-reading) this little book again, it's focus is decidedly on money - so that is where I am focusing. Money is energy - there is a lavish amount of energy - cause energy is really all that exists as it is consistently taking form. Someplace within me is a short-circuit to the lavish flow of energy flowing thru me, somehow I am thinking that I am creating the energy - whew. As I open more and more to the deep knowing and utter reliance upon the Spirit within me (and get out of my own way) - prosperity just flows easily to and thru me in all kinds of forms, including money.
The more I trust and have faith - the more 'supply' shows up - cause and effect at work once again.

Day 12:
"I lift up my mind and heart to be aware, to understand, and to know that the Divine Presence I AM is the Source and Substance of all my good."
Today, the key word is "to be aware"...and I intend to practice this every moment as I prepare to go to Oregon and facilitate a workshop emphasizing accountability and spiritual oneness. If I am truly accountable, I will LIVE from the principles I believe and teach. I will live from my spiritual self - walk my talk - in every area, including Abundance. This is my practice today.

Day 11:
"God is lavish, unfailing Abundance, the rich omnipresent substance of the Universe. This all-providing Source of infinite prosperity is individualized as me - the Reality of me."
There is that world lavish coming round again. And, how do I define lavish? To me it means more than enough - way more! For most of my life, I have always had more than enough of whatever I desired or needed - even when it appeared to not be so. About 20 years ago, I lost a business and filed bankruptcy, lost my home and my car....and yet, I was truly in gratitude and bliss for I could truly see God in every arena of my life encouraging me to BE who I was really and not live from a false-sense of identity.

Day 10:
"I keep my mind and thoughts off "this world" and I place my entire focus on God within as the only Cause of my prosperity. I acknowledge the Inner Presence as the only activity in my financial affairs, as the substance of all things visible. I place my faith in the Principle of Abundance in action within me."
This is a very challenging activity since I am living as a human being in a world driven by effects. Consume - consume - money - money - values of a culture anchored in the accumulation of wealth at almost any cost. To shift away from this belief is well and good from an intellectual standpoint, but then the rent is due or I have a flat tire or need a cavity filled and there is no "visible" money to use. What then? In my life, money just seems to "show up" and many times it truly is a mystery. This reinforces my faith that Spirit is my source.

Day 9:
"When I am aware of the God-Self within me as my total fulfillment, I am totally fulfilled. I am now aware of this Truth. I have found the secret of life, and I relax in the knowledge that the Activity of Divine Abundance is eternally operating in my life. I simply have to be aware of the flow, the radiation, of that Creative Energy, which is continuously, easily and effortlessly pouring forth from my Divine Consciousness. I am now aware. I am now in the flow."
What just comes to mind immediately is the feeling that I have every once in awhile in which I am just enveloped and so focused on whatever I am doing (or being) that nothing - literally nothing - else exists! This is the awareness of total fulfillment that I believe these statements refer. When I am in that place (complete surrender and non-attachment) all is pure bliss, cause there isn't anything else! To maintain this, is - or so it appears in my life - challenging because I am so immersed in my ego thinking, in my little human idea.....surrender....surrender....surrender....Immerse myself in joy - in love - in creativity - without human thought. This is the flow...yowsey!

Day 8. "My consciousness of the Spirit within me *as* my unlimited Source is the Divine Power to restore the years the locusts have eaten, to make all things new, to lift me up to the High Road of abundant prosperity. This awareness, understanding and knowledge of Spirit appears as every visible form and experience that I could possibly desire."
Yes - once again, my Power comes from within me. I have the power to create anything - anything - in my life, and in reality, I already do; my life represents my beliefs, opinions and ideas about me and about life. In order for me to have a major shift in my experience of life, it is even more important for me to have a shift in the way I “feel” about my life and how I “feel” when life doesn’t show up the way I had planned or how I thought it “should”. Once I shift – internally, not just intellectually – to the deep knowing (from an automatic “isness”) that Spirit within me is truly my source, then my exterior life reflects that internal knowing or desire in every possible way.
This process takes time. It is not enough to simply understand it – or to accept it – or to agree with it. It must be infused into every fiber and cell of my being so that I truly become one with it….not even a shadow of separation.

This is an amazing statement. An amazing affirmation, and when I am actually being conscious of this activity - the flow - the radiation of life flowing in and thru my life, I feel so-o-o very present and so-o-o very good about EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING. This is not just a separate experience of unity regarding money or support or abundance, but it is a much deeper and abiding "internal knowing" that I am literally one with everything that is and all - truly ALL - is well. It can be nothing less.

Day 6:
"My inner supply instantly and constantly takes on form and experience according to my needs and desires, and as the Principle of Supply in action, it is impossible for me to have any needs or unfulfilled desires."
This morning, my focus on this statement automatically went to "...according to my needs and desires". If I am honest with myself, I realize that all my needs are met all the time: I always have a lovely, safe, comfortable place to call home (whether my own or someone else's); I always have more than enough delicious food to nourish my physical body; I have several very close friends who love me unconditionally; I feel uplifted and fulfilled in my work; I am healthy and have boundless energy and vitality; my connection with Spirit is sweet and nurturing to my soul; my creative urges have an outlet in my teaching, my writing, etc.; ...so now to desires. Quite honestly, my desires appear to be very few at the moment and pretty basic. I desire more love connections in my life experience, whether in the form of a lover, or simply in my consciously expressing love to others; I desire to express and experience joy each and every day; I desire to enhance my listening skills to more consciously hear what is beneath the words; I desire to set myself free from the internal "obligations" I have created in my life; I desire to be a more conscious friend - to myself and to others; I desire to release any fear of any kind that lurks in my consciousness....especially the fear of what others might think of me or my actions.
A friend recently sent me a list of questions for internal inquiry. The one that keeps glaring at me is: "When I die, no matter when it is, I will wish I had…" My answer is, "worked less, _played more_, traveled the world to meet more of my companions on earth and learn about other cultures - in other words not played it so safe and "responsible.”

Day 5:
"Money is not my supply. No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding and knowledge of the all-providing activity of the Divine Mind within me is my supply. My consciousness of this Truth is unlimited, therefore, my supply is unlimited."
This morning even tho I completely understand these concepts with my mind and embrace the Truth of them, my small, finite human mind struggles with this at this time in my life when it appears my physical "needs" are met at the eleventh hour. Yes, consciousness shows up as it does in form - so what I am learning is that my consciousness appears to be comfortable (even skilled) at the level of "unlimited" supply showing up in some kind of pre-agreed upon form at the last minute. I seem to be pushing myself to the edge of my faith month by month as I simultaneously force myself to grow and expand my reliance upon the Presence moment to moment. This is a much-practiced habit and I am willing to let it go and surrender completely.

"Through my consciousness of my God-Self, the Christ within, as my Source, I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of Spirit. This substance is my supply, thus my consciousness of the Presence of God within me_* is*_ my supply."
Once again, as I connect in a conscious way to who and what I really am (under the layer of this human body clothing), I "get" that I am literally = I AM - my supply, and everything in my life emerges or is created out of this life energy pulsing thru me. The key for me is remembering - remembering - remembering....

Day 2 - As I did 3 yesterday, I will do Day 2 today. The quote from the book "The Abundance Book" by John Randolph Price that I will use today is as follows: "The Divine Presence I AM is the Source and Substance of all my good."
If I really believe that this is so, then I would not be concerned about attempting to "make" anything happen in my life. I would be able to simply BE and allow my life to unfold easily being present to what is in each moment. When I think - or feel - this present moment with a practiced awareness, all is well in my world - regardless of what is actually occuring from a human perspective. I am not my experiences - I am not my history - I am not my financial condition or my credit report - I am not my job - I am not my relationship, etc. etc. What I truly am is the eternal presence of the Divine in form and all "my" life, including all supply, flows thru me always. I choose to define it as good or not so good - but the creative urge is always available awaiting my acceptance and direction of it.

#3: "I am conscious of the Inner Presence as my lavish Abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity. Therefore, my consciousness is filled with the Light of Truth." Once again, to me, this is a reminder to stay focused on my inner resources - the "spiritual capital" within me that expresses itself through qualities such as generosity, creativity, persistence, knowledge of all kinds of things, networking, insight, humor, imagination, dexterity, etc. etc. etc. So many gifts that are easily recognized as abundant within me that readily transfer to the form of money in the world. As I activate any one of these inner gifts I tap into the lavish abundance with which I am infused with naturally. All of these are just daily reminders to "keep before me the moments of my high resolve".

40 day Prosperity Plan - Day 1
Page 2: "I lift up my mind and heart to be aware, to understand and to know that the Divine Presence I AM is the Source and Substance of all my good." As I contemplate this statement, it reminds me that I need to keep my attention on "faith" or on what I believe to be True about life as a whole, and not allow myself to become mired in a downward spiral of "ain't it awfulness" - which is perpetuated by many humans drawn to the sensational or negative drama of the day (whatever that might look like). As an example, what appears to be happening in our country's financial "crisis" is fueled by daily "news" wherein we are all informed of what new company has closed, etc. The internal message for many people then becomes, "Oh my, how awful. Everything is just a mess. So many people are out of work. What if I am next?" The deep fear of many people is encouraged by the "news" casts, which as many of us know is simply sensationalism. Not to negate what is actually happening to many people at the moment - that is real and needs to be addressed in many ways. However.... My job is to not buy into the "news" - to not get caught up in the "ain't it awful" and to keep reminding myself of what is True. To keep my focus on what I desire - on what I personally want to feel - to remind myself that in spite of all the drama of the day, LIFE IS GOOD. The majority of people in our country are employed; the majority of people in our country are not being evicted from their homes; the majority of people in our country are pulling together to assist one another in creating more connection and human interaction as we all "go green." The majority of people in our country are good. The majority of people who own companies are just like me - we are all creating opportunities to shift consciousness all over the planet and "life up my mind and heart to be aware" that there is only one source of all my good - and it is not my employer. It is the activity of Spirit flowing thru and as me.

Eggs, Lilies and Bunnies
On the day before the day before Easter, as I was strolling the aisles of the local grocery store, I was in awe of the abundant displays of products - candy, stuffed animals, toys, cards, flowers - all enticements with which to "celebrate" the upcoming Christian holiday called Easter. In so many ways, I believe this holiday is lost on millions of people and has been reduced to another day of family gatherings, egg hunts on expansive lawns or small aprtment decks, and large meals of ham, jello salad and green beans. Easter, for me, has long been more of a feeling about re-birth, even within my own heart, than about anything else. It represents a time of hope and newness and a reminder that spring does bring beauty, joy and delight - if I but look with an aware heart.
