One Day My Finances Just Opened Up!

One of my favourite personal development books of all time is 'One Day My Soul Just Opened Up' (1999). This book resonates strongly with me - I love its searingly honest and authentic, courageous style. It is a workbook and practical daily guide to spiritual growth. It helps in pulling yourself through harsh times and opening up to the lessons that our soul requires us to experience in order to grow. The author of the book is the ordained 'New Thought' minister, Iyanla Vanzant.

Thanks (in part) to the magnanimity of Oprah Winfrey (see why here) following a fall into bankruptcy and near destitution, Iyanla is enjoying a huge resurgence of popularity in 2012/13. What is profoundly interesting and has been instructive to me is this fall occurred after she wrote her aforementioned book - and others.

In those books warrior-woman Iyanla, who had suffered one blow after another, had been proffering wisdom about how to gracefully accept what life deals you but little did she know that her suffering still had a way to run.

Indeed suffering and then battling her way out of it seemed to have become 'her story'... and here we need to stop and pause. Ask yourself right now: "What's my story"? What's your repetitive pattern; your drama? We all have one. We inherit these stories from our immediate family and nurturers and they in turn were passed down from their ancestors and so on, right back through time. We come into this world and slowly adopt many of their stories as our own beliefs.

Beliefs are so strong that they can literally get imprinted in the DNA. Read Bruce Lipton and his work on Epigenetics and you'll understand what I mean, for although the most common stories go a little like this: "Things always go wrong for me" or "Rich people are never truly happy" or "You can never trust men to be faithful" there are also other strong beliefs such as "Cancer runs in my family" or "If you don't eat a good diet you'll never be clever". Okay so the last two are particularly controversial but don't shoot the messenger. Read up on Epigenetics and the power of belief.

Remember too this is what the Law of Attraction is all about - belief.

The problem is that sometimes it takes enormous power to change our beliefs. For example, only a master Yogi can change his beliefs enough to overcome the power of gravity or even death in the form we know it. If however you are just trying to break free of everyday learned beliefs and behavioural patterns, well I submit that this is well within the grasp of us all.

Anyway, back to Iyanla...illness struck at the very core of Iyanla's life when her daughter became sick and died. Iyanla was no longer able to battle on dispensing her already hard-earned wisdom. Unable to 'walk her talk' any longer she descended into a dark night of the soul, had to file for bankruptcy and became suicidal. This though is the classic hallmark of the wounded healer. Iyanla's pain, her story and her personal loss were also her greatest gifts and became a huge gain for others. Iyanla wrote a book about her shattering experience called Peace from Broken Pieces and turned a tragedy into a personal resurrection.

Although she would undoubtedly rather have avoided the ultimate 'phoenix from the ashes' act of her life drama, perhaps at some deep level Iyanla carried a fundamental belief that something has to die in order for a true rebirth to occur, or you can't have it all, or loss always follows gain  That's a tough one but again think about it, could it be true for you? I know it was for me.

Whatever the secrets of Iylana's soul, her life lessons have assisted countless numbers of people and given many, many people a new vision and the inner strength to carry on in times of loss and adversity.


At this time, a great number of  people are struggling financially but the purpose of this blog and the reason for bringing Iyanla to your attention is because I believe we are always able to 'collaborate with fate'. First of all though we have to unearth - to bring to the surface - the beliefs we harbour and how they may be affecting our life. The severe economic downturn out there in the world is very real but its effect on you is all down to the story you are telling yourself about where you fit into it. We are surrounded by the A-word; austerity yet there is still a similar amount of money circulating as in the boom times. Indeed due to quantitative easing, which sees extra money being put into circulation, there is probably more. What has changed is the distribution of the money and the beliefs we have about how or why it may be kept from us and what to do about it.

Did you for example, by any chance grow up with the belief that in down times you need to "rein in your expenditure, sacrifice things and become more frugal" OR did you grow up with the story that "What goes round comes round, just keep giving (and maybe even tithing) and the tide will always return to you".

Think carefully about your beliefs and what is actually true and what 'your inherited story' is, for it's in that place, the place where we change our story and make brave new choices, that miracles occur. Our choices and beliefs also affect the collective. We can break the patterning and the programming and become free of received fear and make a difference. We can become creators of our own reality and when we do the world we experience changes too. Believe it!

Be the change you want to see.

Iyanla's organisation. Inner Visions Institute sent out this prayer/affirmation this week. If you are in the grip of financial fear, I encourage you to read it and pass it along (replacing the word Great Spirit with Source of Higher Self if you prefer):

Money Is Choice Great Spirit, You are the Infinite Giver and Provider of all Loving energy in the Universe. I am a conscious vessel for all Your good, love and energy, therefore, all my needs are met right now. When I wake up in the morning, You give me daylight, energy in my being. You breathe me and You love me all day long.  I acknowledge that when You give, Great Spirit, You withhold nothing back from me Right here and now I choose to receive Your energy as money in my life.  My heart and mind is open to experiencing money in an empowered, loving and joyful way. I release all lack, limitation and loss stories from my family, ancestry and human family with the experience of money. Today I choose to align myself with the energy of money; therefore, I circulate money consciously, with freedom, ease and grace. Thank You for showing me what true giving and receiving looks like, sounds like and feels like. I am so very grateful that I receive and give money with confidence, authenticity and power.   I am making a radical new choice to be a money magnet moment by moment, each and every day. Thank you for opening my heart to the innate love that you are within me that always provides for me.    It is this love that is clearing the old stories of doubt, contraction, limitation and lack in my experiences with money. Thank You, Great Spirit!  I love You. And So It Is. Amen. Rev. Ayomide Bengo

until next time, Kathryn

THE ULTIMATE LAW OF ATTRACTION TOOL

Have you heard about my new Prosperity Maps? This is the ultimate Law of Attraction tool because the one thing you need when manifesting is focus. You need to magnetize your desire towards you but it has to be from a place of knowing, not hoping, longing or wishing.

Wayne Dyer once gave a beautiful example of exactly the state of mind you should be conjuring up in order to make magic happen. He said that once you have learned how to ride a bike, you know that you can ride a bike and no matter what anybody says to you, nothing can or will ever persuade you otherwise.

When you write up your goals or compile your Vision Board or set your affirmations, they MUST come from a place of knowing and not hoping. You must know in every fibre of your being that this 'wish or order' is going to come to you.

Now what my Prosperity Map can do is give you locational focus. You may want a new lover or to find your soulmate, but have no idea where to look, or where he might show up from; this map will give you the locations to which you have a natural vibrational alignment. So then when you write down your goals you can be focused and say 'I meet my new English boyfriend/girlfriend this month' or my lover from New York etc.

You might be stuck as to where to go on holiday. You have the fabulous white beaches and cerulean blue sea, the palm trees, cocktails and straw umbrella's in your vision board photos but where is that location? Be specific. Remember there are no flights leaving to a place called Hot and Sunny on the airport departure board. There's nowhere called Luxury Holiday either. You have to state the location. This map can tell you where to head.

In business it helps to know where your big break, new job or work contract is likely to emanate from, you can use this map for that too. Which country should you schedule a seminar in? Find out with this tool.

So check out YOUR PROSPERITY MAP right now and watch your manifesting successes dramatically improve.

THE SYNCHRONICITY TRAIL

Over on my Collaborating with Fate site you will see a post (15 April - The Prophecy) which reminds us of how our lives are guided by synchronistic events.

Syncronicities can occur within any time frame but in my experience we are usually talking about minutes, hours and days - beyond that we don't tend to make the connections so readily. Syncronicities also tend to come in rapid succession. They are not always going to lead you straight to a pot of gold but they are like invisible signposts; whispers from the Universe.... "Go this way", "Phone this person", "Look here".

The wonderful thing is that, if you listen carefully enough and trust these prompts (over and above what your conscious mind may be telling you) they can turn your life from the mundane to the magical.

I stopped at a Petrol Station this morning and picked up a newspaper I subsequently found a small booklet inside entitled 'Molecules'. On my Cosmic Cipher site you will see a post (April 8th) with a reference and quote about Molecules. You might comment on the coincidence but you'll be more impressed when I tell you that I buy The Mail and the booklet is distributed inside The Independent. Somehow it had migrated into the wrong paper!

I carefully read the booklet - and highly fascinating it was too. Then I pondered on the question- and this is what you might like to do too i.e. bring it to your conscious awareness - what is this latest coincidence about?

Often it will be related to our strongest unfulfilled 'desire' of the moment. For example if you put out a visualisation for a new house and then bump into an Estate Agent friend whom you haven't seen in months, the answer is usually pretty clear. That said, we should never pre-judge. It may be that the Estate Agent friend is showing up for a completely different reason, maybe even something to do with his path and not yours. Maybe something you say to him (or her) will send him into a 'that was a coincidence' moment, which will in turn lead to a change in his course or direction. Remember, like molecules, we live in a world that is full of things the eye cannot see but are intimately connected.

We have to let go and just trust. I don't know where this latest synchronicity is leading me and I may never find out. True, I now know more about molecules and atoms than I did yesterday but what I am aware of is that, as a result of seeing an advertisement about forthcoming booklets, I have decided to buy The Independent for the next few days. Maybe there is something that I need to see in one of these editions? Perhaps the forthcoming booklets about Cosmology, Particle Physics or Quantum Theory will engender a new understanding about the link between the laws of modern physics and the ancient laws which will further my understanding about 'manifesting'.

What I am trying to say is that we don't have to know where it is leading we just have to accept the prompt that it may be leading somewhere and keep flowing with it. The 'reason' may become apparent - it may not. All that's required is a surrender to the flow. In fact one of the paradoxes of being on this path of co-creating ones life is that control and surrender have to co-exist simultaneously.

In trying to control what happens to us, via putting out an intention using wish lists, affirmations, Vision Boards etc., we are using our conscious mind. We then have to surrender to the Unconscious to move these desires into our sphere of awareness. The Unconscious or 'Universe' (that place where past present and future co-exist outside of linear time) moves to fulfill our wishes and speaks to us through subconscious promptings and these in turn are made more visible by our conscious awareness of them. That's a complicated train of thought but brings us back to the axiom; Ask, Believe and ( open your awareness to..) Receive!

Incidentally before I leave this subject, after receiving my rogue booklet I returned to my desk only to see a message in my e-mail inbox with the subject header ....... Ha! you thought I was going to say 'Molecules' didn't you but no, this one said 'Water Power'. However it led me to a page where there was a discussion about the splitting of water molecules! I might ordinarily just have skipped through it and carried on with my day but because I was alert to the synchronicity I read it carefully and followed some links that I can assure you I would never normally click on.

I'm still following the train of links and already I'm back to the ancient texts where I am learning more about water in alchemical processes. Again I have no idea where this is leading but as I'm constantly asking for inspiration and clues about how the ancient Hermetic Laws mesh with modern day life (and particularly the practice of astrology and the Law of Vibration) it sure feels like another avenue towards solving that puzzle. Whatever it's eventual purpose the excitement in my life has increased a trillion fold since agreeing to be led by invisible forces and follow the synchronicity trails!

I hope this encourages you to follow yours too.

The image at the top of this post is of Wisdom Cards by Louise Hay. I use Angel cards and Wisdom cards as a daily reminder of our connection to the miraculous. You can see details of Louise's lovely card sets at her site here.

THE WISDOM OF WATTLES

Wallace D Wattles was one of the leading writers in the New Thought era of the 1800's. Many of these authors wrote about 'Prosperity Consciousness'. In this post I take some of Wattle's most timeless wisdom and offer it for you to ponder. The text was written in a generic way to 'Man' however, for ease of assimilation, I have altered it to a more personalised format.

There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which in its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the Universe.

Note from Kathryn: here Wallace refers to the mysterious 5th element of Ether, the all encompassing energy which connects us and is variously known as The ALL, The ONE, MIND or GOD

A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. You can form things in your thoughts, and by impressing this thought upon formless substance, can cause the thing you think about to be created.

In order to do this you must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; you must form a clear mental picture of the things you want, and hold this picture in your thoughts with the fixed purpose to get what you want, and the unwavering faith that you will get what you want. Closing your mind to all that may tend to shake your purpose, dim your vision or quench your faith.

Here tools like Vision Boards and affirmations can help you

That you may be ready to receive what you want when it comes, you must act now upon the people and things in your present environment.

Past, present and future are one. Waiting, procrastinating or putting thing off until the time is right is simply saying you don't believe in this power or trust that it exists.

Your part is to intelligently formulate your desire for the things which make for a larger life, and to get these desires arranged into a coherent whole; and then to impress this Whole Desire upon the Formless Substance, which has the power and the will to bring you what you want. You do not need to pray repeatedly for things you want; it is not necessary to think about it every day.

You do not have to compel God to give you good things, any more than you have to use your will power to make the sun rise. You do not make this impression by repeating strings of words; you make it by holding the vision with unshakable PURPOSE to attain it, and with steadfast FAITH that you do attain it. Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.

If you are new to the concept of manifesting/cosmicordering/law of attraction techniques at this point you may be having feelings of distaste or guilt. You may be saying to yourself but it can't be 'spiritual' or right to be rich (in any sense of the word) when so many people are starving or living lives of misery. Please read on:

If you want to become rich, you must not make a study of poverty. Things are not brought into being by thinking about their opposites. Health is never to be attained by studying disease and thinking about disease; righteousness is not to be promoted by studying sin and thinking about sin; and no one ever got rich by studying poverty and thinking about poverty.What tends to do away with poverty is not the getting of pictures of poverty into your mind, but getting pictures of wealth into the minds of the poor.

You are not deserting the poor in their misery when you refuse to allow your mind to be filled with pictures of that misery. Poverty can be done away with, not by increasing the number of well to do people who think about poverty, but by increasing the number of poor people who purpose with faith to get rich. The poor do not need charity; they need inspiration.

If you want to help the poor, demonstrate to them that they can become rich; prove it by getting rich yourself.

In effect what Wattles is saying here is 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life' or to paraphrase Mother Theresa, don't waste your energy being against something, use it by being for something .

You must learn to see the underlying TRUTH in all things; you must see beneath all seemingly wrong conditions the Great One Life ever moving forward toward fuller expression and more complete happiness.

It is the truth that there is no such thing as poverty; that there is only wealth.

THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH

If you have been jet propelled into a new reality as a result of The Secret or Cosmic Orderingyou are well on the way to changing your life. You've also unwittingly been part of a quantum leap in consciousness. You personally have participated in changing the way the population at large are beginning to comprehend the infinite power of the mind. This will have tremendous ramifications by 2012 - but more on that another time.

For now, let me remind you that, in marketing speak, you are what would be termed 'an innovator'. Innovators latch onto new concepts quickly, they don't need to follow the crowd, they recognise a truth when they hear it and take risks based on a perfect balance of rational thought and intuitive 'gut' feeling. In astrological parlance, innovators are Uranians - they lead the way and other follow. Having seen a chink of light coming from behind a once closed door the Innovator/Uranian will march boldly forward and attempt to open it wider.

The problem is the marketing guys know this and as such 'The Secret' has spawned a whole industry waiting to lure you into 'the light'. If you are truly able to assimilate the principles of the Law of Attraction, this is no problem, whether you pay out $4 or $4000 for the next key to living a life of abundance and prosperity doesn't matter a jot. You will know that money is just a part of the energy flowing around and about and through you. For most people though, absorbing this truth takes time and in that interim period you may well be parting with money that will not flow back around to you with the speed you would like - or at all.

It is my considered opinion, having worked with the Universal Laws (and yes that's plural, there are many more than just the Law of Attraction) for over 20 years that as soon as one sets out to intentionally make money from sharing a truth and needs to aggressively market the sale of it then they have moved out of the energy field associated with being of service and into the realms of the ego. The ego is subtly saying 'Look I have this knowledge that makes me superior to you. I'm acting with abundance consciousness by asking you to pay an extortionate price. So, pay me for it and I'll let you see it'. In actual fact the person who is truly being of service need ask for nothing in return. The energy is released in the act of giving and it will, given belief, flow right back around. In practical terms this may mean one simply needs to cover the basic costs of delivering the message ( i.e., you write a book and the book has a price) and trust that the Universe will do the rest. Goods offered from a place of truth and of trust in the abundance of the Universe will take off like a rocket, because other people will automatically be attracted to that vibration. Originally that is precisely what explains the phenomenal success of Rhonda Byrne's book, The Secret and indeed is surely what the book is all about.

As such I believe that the people behind the huge marketing spin offs and MLM campaigns of The Secret, such as Bob Proctor's SGR (Secret of Getting Rich) are destined for a huge fall. An experience in which they are forced to realise how far they have strayed from the true message of the Universal Law.

The science of getting rich does not require you to apply power or force to any other person, in any way whatsoever. There is not the slightest necessity for doing so. Indeed, any attempt to use your will upon others will only tend to defeat your purpose - Wallace D Wattles

All that these people needed to do was remain true to the law, say no to the marketing people urging them to cash in on the books success and direct you to the books that they had read which contained this wisdom in its original form. If they wish to hold seminars to teach people how to put the concepts into practice, that's all well and good with right intention. Large venues are available worldwide where the entrance ticket is affordable to the people who really need to hear the message - those who currently live in poverty consciousness. One doesn't need a hyper inflated entrance price.

If the argument is that there are no large venues where they can pay the overheads without making a loss, then it is hypocritical, for surely these 'teachers' are not trusting in an abundant universe to make the seemingly impossible possible!

Personally I am incensed that 'big name 'Guru's' such as Bob Proctor should be getting involved in something so obviously antithetical to the principles they are espousing. Therefore my gift to you today is the message above and a series of links to the free wisdom of Wallace D Wattles, author of the original Science Of Getting Rich (who must be turning in his grave).

I will also include links to other sources where you can read the teachings as they were relayed from teacher to teacher over the ages and finally found their way into mass publication. Those teachings which I cannot find online I will direct you to via an amazon link and in future blog posts here.

My wish for you is that you continue to push open those doors and move towards the light of truth and then share what you learn with others with no thought of return.

Enjoy, learn and prosper............

THE PROSPERITY PROCESS

By now, regular readers of this blog (and my others) will know that I have been a great proponent of Rhonda Byrne's book and film; The Secret. What Rhonda, and others like her, should be thanked for is their ability to bring this esoteric information to the commercial market. By this I mean that they are presenting it in a way that makes it accessible to the average person on the street, who may never have given much thought to the invisible forces which govern our daily lives.

What Rhonda, and anyone who writes on spiritual truths, cannot be given any credit for however, is the information itself. It must always be remembered that we are all just conduits for the information to pass through, not originators of the 'truths' themselves. As soon as we believe any differently we can be sure our ego is getting in the way

To this end, I would like to direct anyone reading, who does not want to pay for the information contained in The Secret, to a free set of lessons from one of the oldest Wisdom Schools known to Man The Rosicrucian Order

Throughout the centuries people have joined or studied the teachings of The Rosicrucian Order for no other reason than their own spiritual development - and perhaps an understanding that only when each of us changes ourselves, can we hope to change the World.

While many of those writing books about the Laws of Attraction and other ancient laws will be receiving substantial amounts of money and royalties for their efforts to spread the word , we should welcome their prosperity and marvel at their ability to attract abundance. One also hopes that they continue to let it flow for the greater good.

However, we should also remember those dedicated people at the Ancient Mystery Schools, such as The Rosicrucians, who work tirelessly, for little or no financial reward, solely to help people towards self-awareness.

If you would like to hear the 12 minute lesson on how to increase your prosperity, which contains many of the ancient secrets to fulfilling your dreams, if you have an I-Pod please choose the following at your I- Tunes store:

Podcasts > Religion & Spirituality >other >Rosicrucian Podcast (Number 3 of Top 10) >Podcast 17. Prosperity - An Expansion of Awareness.

If you enjoy this podcast, all the lessons on Mysticism, Metaphysics, Spirituality and Philosophy are also free.

If you don't own an I-Pod (or even if you do) you can also visit the homepage of the Rosicrucians here You will find links to an embedded media player where you can listen to all the podcasts/lessons. Here is the prosperity one - Prosperity

Enjoy and prosper!

PASS IT ON

If you have seen the film about the Law of Attraction called The Secret, you will definitely not want to miss Pass It On. It is an interactive motion picture that delves into the questions everyone has been asking for centuries; How do I become Wealthy? What do I do with my ideas? How can someone find their passion? What does it take to truly be Happy?

The film premieres on May 10th 2007. The idea is that if each person 'passes it on' we can make a worldwide, positive change to the perception of how we create our own opportunities and happiness - and ultimately our entire reality.

If you are visiting this blog for the first time, it contains information (that I know works) about manifesting. You'll probably need to read from the bottom upwards, as some posts link into the next and they post on top of the older one.

If you are visiting from my horoscopes in Jonathan Cainer's regular column on the web or in the newspapers, you may be interested to know that the reason my forecasts will reach millions of people around the world this week is as a direct result of putting the Law of Attraction into use. Here's how:

In 1996 I was in the process of taking some professional astrology exams and also studying Journalism part-time at a local college. One day it dawned on me that the two interests could be perfectly amalgamated by becoming a 'media' astrologer. I was used to the concept of manifesting so, I sat down and wrote out a request for the perfect job to show up to facilitate this. I then 'helped the Universe along' and showed my commitment by writing to the three major media astrologers of the time. Two of them replied by letter but Jonathan Cainer called me by phone. He told me he had recently been thinking that he needed a helping hand and 'synchronistically' his assistant, Michelle, had passed on my letter for his attention. The Universe drew us together and to cut a long story short, I wrote my first column in The Daily Mail in 1997.

When we are totally committed to an outcome, invisible forces set to work on our behalf. Our Universe starts to rearrange itself to manifest our desires. In order to spur you on to using the 'attraction' techniques, here's another example:

A few years ago I was wavering about whether I really wanted to have astrology as my only way of earning income. I had the occasional daydream about becoming a journalist but I was very vague about it. I wrote a quick 'wish list' simply stating I would like some guidance about my work direction. About three days later my phone rang, but I didn't reach it in time so I did a dialback.

The phone was answered and I said "Hi, someone just called me". The female on the other end obviously knew nothing about it. She sounded flummoxed, then asked what my name was. As soon as I said Kathryn Cassidy her voice changed and she said "Oh right , hold on I'll put you through". The man I was connected to was Denis Cassidy. He had been calling someone and mis-dialled the number causing my phone to ring (I'm not directory listed and we are not related). I had done the re-dial and his secretary, hearing the surname Cassidy, had assumed Denis must be a relative and put me straight through.

That's an incredible coincidence anyway, but how often have you spoken to a complete stranger on a mis-dialled call who has the same surname, who then asks you out of the blue what you do for a living?

Knowing that the word 'astrologer' always leads to a lengthy conversation, I chose to tell him I was a freelance journalist. Denis, it was then revealed, was sitting at his desk in his News Agency Cassidy & Leigh; a company that gathers news reports for the Media. He was also President of NAPA - the National Association of Press Agencies!

On the one hand this was astounding. On the other, it was just more proof of the Law of Attraction at work. Anyway, I had no option but to come clean about the true nature of my profession. I told him I had recently been thinking about whether I should move into reporting, so maybe this was more than coincidence. He told me if ever I had a story to give him a call and we had a chat about the nature of the reporting business.

A few months after this fate conspired to place me in the middle of a very newsworthy story. I won't bore you with it here but I conducted a bit of on- the-spot information gathering, then called Denis. The story then appeared in the newspaper the following day. The relevant point is surprising - I realised I didn't enjoy doing it.

I was delighted to receive this pointer 'from the Universe'. Reporting obviously wasn't the best direction for me to pursue. I then went back to my main interest, astrology, with renewed vigour and appreciation, delighted by the divine intervention that had put me back on track.

You see, fate can move in very mysterious ways and the answers are always out there - you just have to ask for them.

Ask, Believe and Receive.

THINK THIN - Manifest weight loss

I've never been afraid to court a little controversy, it encourages people to think outside the box. So, I recently recorded a video for Youtube in which I mention that another use of 'the power of the mind' is to regulate the body weight; in other words to 'think yourself thin'.

If your beliefs are strong enough, they change your vibratory rate and attract things to you that resonate at that same frequency. This can apply to both good and bad things as they are both just differing degrees on the same spectrum.

"Ah yes, but attracting people or things you desire towards you is very different to changing the calorific content of food", I hear you cry.

Absolutely. However you are not attempting to change calories. What may be happening is that your changed vibratory rate (in accordance with your changed beliefs) has an impact on your metabolism or you simply start to gradually eat less as you don't get trapped in that, 'Oh Gosh I just stuffed myself with 1 million calories so I might as well keep on eating and start the diet tomorrow/next week ' syndrome.

I don't know. Maybe something happens at the molecular level of the food itself too but, I'll leave that to the scientists. What I do know is that mind power is incredible and you can think yourself thin. I have maintained a steady weight using this technique, eating whatever I like. I have many family members with completely different physicality, which rather suggests it's not a genetic blessing I have.

After recording my video I went looking around the Internet for the research to support my personal experience and controversial statement in the video. With the synchronicity that I have come to expect in my life I found an article that appeared in Newspapers around the world in Mid February . I tagged on a video slide directing people to the work of Dr Ellen Langer after reading this in the LA Times, 19 Feb 2007:

Here are highlights, the whole article (which was syndicated) can be seen here

"We get stuck in the notion that you'll lose a pound for every 3,500 calories — that weight loss is just a matter of what goes in and what goes out — and we forget about all the other components that might be involved, like our mind-sets," she says. Dr. Harvey Simon, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of "The No Sweat Exercise Plan," believes in the power of the mind and the strength of the placebo effect, but suggests that in this case the most likely culprit is a change in the women's diet. "If they're motivated, if they feel they're healthier and doing well, it wouldn't be surprising if they cut down on their calories a little bit," he says. But co-author Ellen Langer, a psychology professor and Crum's faculty advisor at Harvard, bristles at the notion that the results could be accounted for by changes in behavior that simply flew under the methodological radar. Langer is author of 200 research articles and six books and a noted expert in an area known as "mindfulness," which, simply put, is mentally focusing on what is happening in the moment. Langer believes that the act of being mindful can promote health and well-being. Research suggests that "we have more control over our health and well-being than we realize," she says, "and the bottom line is that the way to achieve this is by increasing our mindfulness" to the tasks at hand.

There has also been research into exercise that shows something else quite extraordinary; when hooked up to machines, people who sat in a chair thinking about lifting weights or running showed electrical activity, in the muscle groups in question, that matched the activity produced by those who were actually lifting or running!

In other words, except for the benefits of increased oxygen entering your lungs as a result of exertion, these results are suggesting the mind has the ability to shape the body with no physical effort.

As oxygen is the food of life, I think it would be a very foolish person who replaced their gym membership with a comfy armchair, however, it is yet another indication of our ability to change our thoughts to change our life.

If you have weight issues, either being too fat or thin, manifest a change today by using the power of your mind and unswerving belief. Don't ask how - just say Yes!

ASK, BELIEVE AND RECEIVE

I can see from my stats that I get a significant amount of hits on this site as a result of people searching for Cosmic Ordering or visiting from my other blogs. So, I just want to drop in to reiterate that one of the reasons that I don't update this site as regularly as my others is because all the information you need to successfully manifest is contained in the previous articles. You can either find them below (start from bottom to top) or by hitting the Home button.

I expect the amount of people searching for information on co-creating reality to go even higher as a wave of higher consciousness continues to sweep the World. A recent Oprah Winfrey Show will undoubtedly add to the spread of the knowledge. Her show concentrated on the The Secret. For those of you who haven't seen the film The Secret, please try to do so. For those who haven't heard, the movie is all about manifesting. Much of the content is now available free on YouTube but if you feel the need to grab a freebie to save money, I would politely ask you to question your poverty consciousness. Give your energy freely back to the producers of the film by purchasing a copy or paying for a download at this location and what you give will come back to you tenfold.

I've been receiving a steady stream of e-mails from those who have put the techniques of The Law of Vibration or Attraction i.e. the umbrella terms for Affirmations/Cosmic Ordering/Manifesting/Ask, Believe and Receive/ Image, Ordain and Manifest/Visioning techniques, to the test. Without fail people are generating results according to their ability a) to believe and b) to let go and trust that its on its way.

Remember we live in the Eternal Now. What you need is already here, you just have to consciously and purposefully align with it.

I opened a little book that I keep by my bedside this morning and alighted upon this, which I will reprint for you here:

"We (your guides and higher self) are on the road by your side. Not one of you stands alone. You only have to ask in simple trust, and you shall receive; whatever your need it shall be supplied."

Happy Manifesting.

THE POWER OF NOW

As we enter a New Year many of us are making resolutions. This age old practice is really just another form of Cosmic Ordering. First we have an intention of what it is we wish to manifest, or eradicate, from our life in the coming year. Next we write it down - if you don't then you should for this is an integral part of the process of manifesting - then we take steps to act upon our intention.

I don't know the percentage of resolutions that fail, but it is obviously high, otherwise diet companies, nicotine patch manufacturers and gyms would continue to see an upturn in their business throughout the year and not just in January!

As I have said previously, all the information as to why your resolutions may fail to manifest, along with all the techniques required to successfully 'Cosmic Order' are set out in the posts below. If, however, you are already in trouble with commitment to your resolutions, I would like to offer this phrase for you to ponder.

Now is a place where intention and attention come together.

Have the intention, give it the attention it deserves and then if you fall off, slip back or fail to see results, don't give up , that is in the past. Give it your intention and attention and begin again Now. Time spent chastising yourself is simply self defeating. Saying "Look, see, I tried and nothing happened" or "Look, see, I tried and slipped up as usual" are all signs of your unwillingness to believe that you create your reality. Statements such as these imply that some outside force has more power over your life than you do and you can't be held responsible for your actions. Grab that gremlin from your shoulder, lock it away and don't give it the food of defeat that it needs to stay alive.

Affirm, I can, I will and I have made this my reality......... I am thin, I am fit, wealthier. I am a non smoker, or whatever your desire is.

As a book title says, The Power of Now is extraordinary. Believe your wishes or resolutions have manifested, don't look back or forward, just see them as having happened now. As every moment is now, you are guaranteed results.

When you surrender to what is and so become fully present, the past ceases to have any power. You do not need it anymore. Presence is the key. Now is the key. Now is all there is - Eckhart Tolle

If you have a 'Cosmic Ordering' story you would like to share please e-mail me from the bio page and I will post them here (with or without your name depending on your preference) for others to read.

CLAIM YOUR POWER; CREATE YOUR REALITY

I haven't updated these pages for a while. This is not because I have abandoned the site, but because all the information you need to successfully manifest your destiny is already set out in the articles below. All it takes now is for you to put the information into practice. Strangely though, if you are anything like me, and 99.9% of the rest of the population, you'll find you start to procrastinate. I can already hear the " Oh I'll give that a try - maybe tomorrow" lament. I've been there.

Sometimes when we are given the keys to the kingdom, we spend more time staring at the key than putting it in the lock and turning it. This stems from fear. Fear that if you 'Cosmic Order' you might be the only one it doesn't work for; Fear (actually misplaced belief) that you're a failure, not only in life but, possibly also in the eyes of the angels, and they won't bother to answer your requests; Fear that if you can master your life, what if you mess up.

All these factors are pretty strong reasons for the mind to convince you to do everything and anything other than place that order.

What I have learned over the years is that you shouldn't ignore those thoughts for, as the saying goes, 'What you resist will persist'. The answer is to think, 'Okay, why am I having these thoughts and fears? Is it because if X really happens then Y will have to change and that might alter the way Z feels about me and I'm not sure about that etc., etc. Try and get to the root of what the underlying fear is.

Now I've spoken about this before, the need to look at the subconscious and the need to have trust, (use the elimination technique that I have posted on before if you need to) However, what I am encouraging you to do today is to bring any fears to conscious awareness and then move forward and just do it.

As soon as you do, and as you repeatedly witness the results, a seismic shift will occur in your being. You'll recognise that, ultimately, it is you, not 'angels', who are granting your request, the part of you that exists outside of time, space and physicality.

Of this I am sure; the goal in 'Cosmic Ordering' is not really the materialisation in your life of cars, money, people or circumstances. It's the realisation that you, and not some outside force, are the omnipotent being. All that you achieve in life and all that fail to achieve is the direct result of you. You are a part of the Cosmos. Quite literally, the forces that shape the Cosmos are within you.

Humanity has reached a critical stage in its evolutionary development. This, I believe, is why the whole 'Cosmic Ordering' phenomenon has suddenly come to mass awareness. We need another way and once you personally experience the direct results of putting a thought out into the ethers and seeing it manifest, you'll start to question your innate power over every single other area in your life - your health, relationships, finances.

Everyone thinks of changing the World but no one thinks of changing himself - Tolstoy

When religion (Re-Ligare) - which incidentally means 'That which ties us again to our source' disappoints adults with its lack of tolerance and fails to entice the young with its dogma and doctrines what better bridge could we have collectively manifested than the introduction of a modern day form of prayer, in the guise of Cosmic Ordering. It's a tool of enlightenment.It provides experiential evidence that each one is connected at source. And if each of us change, the World we experience will change too.

Cosmic Ordering has arrived to help us 'cauterise the can'ts' from our vocabulary and to learn that thought + word + action + faith = results. So don't procrastinate. Commit yourself to action and write your Cosmic Orders today, for:

The moment one commits oneself, providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred,
A whole stream of events; all manner of unforeseen incidents and chance meetings and material assistance come forth, which no one could have dreamt would appear. - Goethe

SPIRITUAL LAWS & MANIFESTING MIRACLES

Manifesting what you desire appears to be very simple; using a few guidelines from books, such as that by Barbel Mohr, you place your 'Cosmic Order' sit back and wait for miracles to occur. Unfortunately, many spiritual aspirants - for that's what you are if you're invoking the laws of the Universe - don't appreciate the underlying concepts that allow the magic to unfold. Your wishes materialise when there's little real concern as to whether they will or not . However, when you are desperate for 'miraculous intervention', your manifesting abilities seem to desert you. Why is this and what can be done to avert this problem?

In a previous post, I have already covered the need to make room for what it is you wish to manifest to appear. In this post today, I turn to the need to really appreciate what it is you are doing when 'cosmic ordering' for the Universal laws are exact; if you toy with the Universe you'll discover it toys with you.

Spiritual laws have three constants i.e they are 1) inviolable 2) immutable and 3) Universal, which means they cannot be altered, never change and apply equally to everyone. One of the laws that these 'sacred rules' apply to is that of The Law of Reciprocity. It is this law that should always be borne in mind when Cosmic Ordering, for without understanding the tenets which underpin the whole notion of manifesting, one is likely to experience haphazard and inconsistent results.

Reciprocity is the act of giving and receiving in mutual measure. This does not necessarily denote exchange of the same medium, but it does mean that whatever you give is equal, by your personal measure, to what you have received. This is demonstrated beautifully in the axioms 'Do to others as you would have them do to you.' or 'You reap what you sow.'

A more user-friendly name for this law might be The Law of Circulation. Giving, where you are receiving, keeps you constantly in the flow of circulating energy and thus supply.

In many religions this law is addressed through the practice of tithing. Tithing is the bequeathment of a proportion of your financial income to the Church and commonly, (as the number ten is believed to be the magic number of increase) involves the tithing of exactly one tenth of the amount you receive. Whilst it is perfectly acceptable for anyone to tithe money, and it may well lead to greater prosperity, many people immediately baulk against the idea. What was your reaction when you read that sentence?

The concept of tithing is pointing to the reinforcement of belief and faith. If you lose attachment to money and see it just as a manifestation of energy circulating; value received for value given, then there is no fear of lack or loss, no poverty consciousness, just an overwhelming faith in the ability of the Universe to provide. Thus, by tithing you are physically and visibly demonstrating the utmost faith in your connectivity with the Universe - and it is faith which funds all cosmic orders.

I am not suggesting you must start tithing, although I also am not suggesting you don't. By bringing the Law of Reciprocity to your attention I am pointing out the truth that the more you can keep the good in your life circulating, the more you will attract. As a consequence you will find that your efforts at Cosmic Ordering are totally consistent.

In some instances the law works with almost immediate effect. For example, the person not appreciating the immutable laws who has just successfully manifested a large amount of money. Shortly after, they are then astounded to find an unexpected bill dropping on the doormat requesting payment for exactly the same amount. The person who rushes past the person on the street proffering a collection tin for charity donations and mutters "sorry, don't have any money" - then loses their purse minutes later. The divine laws will constantly prove they are indeed, inviolable and immutable!

Conversely, there is the person who is naturaly attuned to the law of circulation. They really don't have much money in their purse but stop and give what they have to the charity collector anyway. Shortly afterwards they delve into their pocket and unexpectedly find a folded money note in the recesses of their pocket, or are unexpectedly given something of value.

If you want to perform miracles in your life, let go and trust that all you give will be returned, often ten-fold. If you are the recipient of luck, circulate your good fortune. If you are the receiver of a particular kindness be mindful of where you can return kindness, even if it is not to the original provider. Heartfelt reciprocity is the key to abundance and unlocks the resources of the Universe. It is in our willingness to give that which we seek that we keep the energy which supplies and grants miracles circulating in our lives. It is our faith in the omnipotence of the Universe that grants our prayers and wishes.

For many nights we prayed, with no proof anyone could hear,
Hope seemed like the summer bird
so swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here with hearts so full I can't explain
There can be miracles when you believe.
Who knows what miracles you can achieve when you believe.

From the film The Prince of Egypt

MIRACLES HAPPEN

In the Daily Mail newspaper of 27 September 2006, the following article appeared, written by Paul Sims:

When told their unborn son would not survive pregnancy, there seemed only one decision for Rachel Whittaker and Matt Capehorn.(picture left)

A routine ultrasound had uncovered a cyst growing inside his right lung and with the odds stacked against him they were offered an abortion.

But the couple refused to give up hope and yesterday they brought William home for the first time since he was born three months prematurely in June, weighing only 2Ib 12oz.

'He's our little miracle,' said Mr Capehorn, a 36-year-old GP.

Doctors discovered the cyst at the start of the year. Four days later it had increased four-fold and was pushing on William's heart and oesophagus.

But they refused to terminate the pregnancy at 20 weeks and instead surfed the Internet for a solution before contacting one of the world's foremost experts in prenatal surgery.

Professor Kypros Nicolaides agreed to conduct the operation at the Harris Birthright Centre in London, despite the bleak prognosis given by doctors at Sheffield's Jessop Hospital.

The couple were told that the procedure, inserting a needle through Miss Whittaker's stomach into the baby to drain the cyst, could cause a miscarriage or premature labour.

The operation was a success but Miss Whittaker went into labour.

'When he was born we had big grins on our faces but it didn't sink in for a few days how poorly he really was,' said Mr Capehorn, from Rotherham.

'One night one of the doctors said would we prefer it if we could just cuddle him and then let nature take its course, but we didn't want to give up.'

Although William will remain connected to an oxygen tank for the next few months to help him fight chronic lung disease his parents believe he will grow up as a normal little boy.

The cyst in his lung, known as Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation, (CAM) affects one in 35,000 babies.

This is a heart-warming story but, for me, reading this brought mixed emotions to the surface. Obviously, William needed immediate intervention but what if they had opted for termination? How many other people have opted for that under Doctors advice?

Nine years ago, at my 20 week scan, my unborn daughter was also diagnosed with a C.A.M. We were told to expect, at best surgery, at worst - the worst. Luckily, although the cyst continued to grow it was at a much slower rate than William's, so we had time to think. I opted to visit a spiritual healer on a weekly basis and also embarked on writing a journal to my unborn child, willing her to pull through. In this journal I used all the techniques that I am bringing to you on these pages. Cosmic Ordering is not a band-wagon that I have opportunistically jumped on but a process, also known as manifesting, that I was using in my daily life, over nine years ago.

As I have been saying in my posts, faith is the currency that funds these requests and I had a strong, spiritual faith that all would be well.

I wrote daily entries as if my daughter was already born but, just absent from my side (like you would write to a child who was abroad). I spoke out loud to her, telling her all would be well and I was looking forward to seeing her. I played classical music, ate an exemplary diet and tried not to allow any negativity in. Obviously, being human, I occasionally broke down with the stress of it all. At those times I would write out my fears, explaining in my journal to Ella how I felt, and then replace them with positive affirmations.

I was scanned weekly, then bi monthly as the cyst didn't disappear and continued to grow. At around 24 weeks, the threat of in-utero death passed. Nevertheless, we had to visit the surgeon who would carry out the removal procedure straight after the birth. Then, as my healer and I had always believed it would, at 32 weeks the cyst simply vanished - confounding all the Doctors.

Ella Grace Cassidy was born 2 weeks late, weighing 8lbs 8ozs on 19 Oct 1997. X rays at birth showed no sign of the CAM. Ella has no residual problems and didn't need follow up care.

For anyone else facing this agony, please let this be an inspiration to not give up. Doctors may choose to explain away my miracle through the use of logic and statistics - because spiritual healing flies in the face of their belief paradigms. But please believe, miracles can and do happen.

How To Be A Miracle Maker

The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.

HOW TO BE MAGNETIC - Attract your dream today

Cosmic Ordering is the popular term for a technique aimed at manifesting your wishes and dreams. In placing the 'order' correctly it is assumed that a Cosmic delivery is imminent. Sometimes, however, even when we have checked our belief systems and have the utmost faith (see my previous post) the Universe simply doesn't deliver.

Does this mean that we are unable to Cosmically Order? Sometimes certain wishes are granted but others seem to fall on deaf ears. Have we used up our luck quota or been singled out for a life of denial? The answer is no. If you wish to manifest your dreams and you are not encountering success, or are feeling stuck, then it is time to stop manifesting and start eliminating!

'Nature abhors a vacuum'

By forming a vacuum you are 100% certain of filling it with something else. The trick here is to magnetise your desires into that space. To do this is simplicity itself; make that space by renouncing with faith and determination what you don't need in your life. By releasing something old you make space for the new to enter.

So, if you are having problems materialising your Cosmic order, take out a piece of paper and write "I now release, and they release me, everything and everybody that are no longer part of the divine, cosmic plan in my life". This can be quite a scary, daunting affirmation for many people as it brings up fears about loss of control. As you will have heard me say before, what is required here is absolute faith. It is our divine right to experience happiness, joy and prosperity - the only thing keeping us from that is our 'self' and our tendency to cling onto outmoded objects, beliefs and situations.

In addition to repeating this affirmation regularly you should also work on forming a vacuum on the physical level. To do this clear all the clutter out of your life. Eliminate all superfluous and unnecessary objects from your wardrobes, drawers, car, desk, handbag/briefcase, even your computer disks. As soon as something leaves your life, you will find something new arrives to replace the void - something that you can request beforehand in your cosmic orders.

Finally, in an act that is completely opposite to that of manifesting, write down all that you consciously know you need to renounce and eliminate. It could be a relationship, an activity, an eating habit, a health issue, a grievance, a pattern or your poverty consciousness - whatever you know you need to change. At the end of this list write the words 'I let go and trust'.

The ancient mystics had an alchemical formula for prosperity and success:

1. PURIFICATION - elimination
2. ILLUMINATION - receiving guidance
3. UNION - with divine, cosmic order

If you are not having your cosmic orders fulfilled or simply wish to magnetise you dreams, then try this formula today.

POSITIVELY MIRACULOUS

Our reality is determined by the thoughts we put out into the world. Therefore when it comes to our capacity to Cosmic Order we must look at to our thought processes and put ourselves in a state of 'miracle-readiness'. I spoke in my previous post about the necessity for Faith in the process; for it is faith which funds all our 'orders' from the Cosmos.

When I sit and watch the program ' Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' I am always astounded that, in the English production at least, when the question is asked, "How much would you like to go home with today" virtually no-one looks Chris Tarrant in the eye and says, "One Million pounds". Almost all of the contestants want a million but say things like, "Oh well, 16,000 or 32,000 would be nice" - and often in an apologetic voice to boot.

This sets up conflicting energies and means that these contestants have sealed their fate. They just won't go much higher than the figure they set because they don't believe they will. Period. They may have spent hours visualising how they would spend a million pounds but they don't truly have faith that they will achieve that. Fear of ridicule, failure or seeming arrogant all arise and divert the focus away from the main goal. The same applies to Noel Edmonds show, 'Deal or No Deal' and any other game of apparent 'chance'. This is the most important point to remember when Cosmic Ordering, for if you don't address the belief systems, luck may happen but the true miracles will take a little longer.

I was reading a book by Deepak Chopra the other day and I thought his observation on how we align ourselves with our desires was very thought provoking. He uses the analogy of a hunter who is having difficulty finding game. The hunter visits a Shaman (mystical healer) and together they automatically seek the answer to the dilemma within the hunter's mind. It never occurs to them to say 'There is no game out there' for they know there is. Something within the hunter and his methods is preventing him from finding the game, so they address that.

It is the same with whatever you are 'ordering.' Be it a job, a house, a holiday, a partner or anything else you require, it is out there. You simply have to align yourself with it. To facilitate this you have to suspend your belief in linear time and see your desire as already granted. This is different to imagining, which projects you into a future. You have to see your desire as if it is already here now.

In the case of the contestant on the TV game show, the ones that win don't hope and pray that the right questions are drawn, they already know that the questions they can answer will appear - how could it be any other way if they have already won? Do you see the subtle difference in the thought processes.

To the student of metaphysics the belief in the illusion of time and space is second nature but if you are of a more left brained, sceptical persuasion, you might find it informative to click on my post on Miracles on my sister site Here At the end of that you will find some links to tutorials on Quantum Mechanics and Non-Locality. The more one is aware of how much of our physical reality is illusory, the nearer you'll become to a state of 'miracle-readiness'.

How much would you like to win?

ENERGY SYNCHRONIZATION

For advice on how to manifest (Cosmic Order) please scroll down the page to the previous post.

Just as each of us is formed out the same material that the Universe is fashioned out of, so each of us is wholly connected at some level to each other. Indeed, not just to each other but also to the planets and every animate and inanimate object in our midst. This is perfectly expressed in the following ancient text:

What is below, is like what is above, and what is above is like that which is below. Hermes Trismegistus

Or put another way, the microcosm lies within the macrocosm. This is relevant to the subject of manifesting because without this understanding, you will always feel that you are asking for something to be given to you, rather than for the appearance of something to which you are already connected.

Recognising and absorbing this subtlety is key to the secret of Cosmic Ordering. Each of us is connected to everything else by an invisible energy. Energy moves in currents or waves and this is why money is known as a currency and why we talk about it flowing in and out of our lives. In order to get into 'the flow' you have to synchronise your personal energy level, or vibration, to form a resonance with what it is you are requesting. To do this you simply have to know and believe in your energy then send it out to what you desire.

One way to do this is to constantly visualise yourself as already having had your request granted. Surround yourself with pictures or the accoutrements that will accompany your vision. For example, if it's a holiday you requested, get buying the holiday clothes and suntan lotion. If you find yourself constantly worrying that you may be wasting your money if it doesn't materialise, then you have discovered that you don't really believe. You must constantly keep check on your underlying belief system.

All of us are like magnets and we can either repel or attract. We may be giving out a repellent energy, say in the form of a lack mentality. If we do not think we deserve the money, holiday, happiness, friends or whatever our desire, then that is what we will attract - no money, holiday, friends etc, etc.

Even Multi-millionaires can be trapped in poverty consciousness. They may have every belief in their ability to make money, so they do so. However, scratch the surface and you will find they are then unable to enjoy the fruits of their success. They become frugal and miserly because they have an underlying belief that they don't deserve the money, or a fear of returning to poverty. As a consequence, they will connect with people who reinforce this belief. i.e they will find 'Gold diggers' as partners, they always manage to employ people who rip them off. Their homes get burgled, they accrue massive tax demands for evasive and fraudulent declarations. Their house needs constant repairs.

In short, the World mirrors back to them, the energy that they are putting out - fear that at any minute their good fortune will be snatched away, and an underlying lack of belief in their own power.

On the other hand, the person who is centred and honours their connection to the principle of energy flow, never fears lack because they know that something else will flow in to replace that which leaves. These people have self-belief and abundant lives. They attract more and more good fortune and find their ability to manifest is almost magical. The more they give, the more they receive; their lives are filled with grace and synchronicity.

Because you are an integral part of the Cosmos, your Universe literally rearranges itself to give you what you believe. If you want a more abundant life and the ability to order your every desire, then all you have to know is that self- belief and faith is the currency which will fund those desires. Good luck!

COSMIC ORDERING

So what is Cosmic Ordering a.k.a. Manifesting? Quite simply it’s the idea that one writes out an order, or a list of desires and ‘places’ it in the hands of the Universe. As you are an integral part of the Universe, what you are really doing is asking that part of you which resides outside of your individuality (ego) to fulfil your wishes.

For years, the technique of manifesting was viewed as closely guarded metaphysical wisdom, 'only to be passed through word of mouth from esoteric teacher to initiate student'. According to ancient lore, money should not change hands for the gift of any esoteric knowledge or counsel; the punishment for any transgression of this rule being that the person who did not heed the warning would lose the gift of perception. Obviously this was a caveat introduced to prevent people from using the knowledge in ways which did not further the spiritual growth of the individual.

Nowadays, however, there is a wave of enlightenment sweeping across the globe; many predicted this era would arrive and termed it The Aquarian - or New - Age. In a rapidly evolving consciousness the time has patently come for this information to reach, not only the spiritual seekers, but to enter the public domain.

Whether anyone should pay for this information is a matter of personal choice. It is my belief that, when used judiciously, manifesting is a tool which will lead people to recognise their indivisibility between their 'Self' and the Universe. A paradigm shift of this nature will inevitably lead to a heightened sense of responsibility for one's own thoughts and behaviour and eventually have positive repercussions for the 'whole' World.

HOW TO PLACE YOUR ORDER AND MANIFEST YOUR DESIRES

The original premise of the teaching probably originates from the Bible:

Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and you shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened to you.
For whoever asks, receives;
and he who seeks, finds;
and to him who knocks, the door is opened.
Matthew 7:7:8

The received esoteric teaching is that one simply has to image, ordain and manifest the object of ones desire. The premise being that intense desire creates an energy wave that magnetises the desire towards you, as energy and matter are interchangeable.

Here then is the technique:

Get yourself into the state of mind, somewhat akin to the way you feel just before you fall asleep, where the mind is still alert but simultaneously relaxed. Image in your mind the object of your desire, whether it is a person, a material object or a situation – or all three. Now make the desire come to life. Use all of your senses to do this, touch it, see it, hear it, smell it, taste it and finally imagine what it would feel like as if you already have it.

When you have a good sense of your desire walk with this feeling through a set of imaginary rooms. Each time you enter a room, imagine it bathed in the following colours. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet, recalling your desire anew at each stop along the way. These are the colours of the Rainbow and the belief is that as each responds to a different electromagnetic frequency, they should always be used in this order.

Next, take a piece of paper and write down your request, making sure it is absolutely specific. For instance, if your desire is a sum of money, you should describe the currency e.g., Canadian dollars are different to US dollars. Do you want a check or cash? If your desire is for a new car, describe the interior trim, the color of the bodywork, the specific engine size, make and model number, the wheel trim, whether it is a second hand or new car, left or right hand drive etc. If it is a person you are requesting to show up in your life, list every physical, mental and emotional quality that you seek.

Phrase your request as if it is going to be answered without fail. When you wake up in the morning you know the Sun will have risen. You do not say, ‘I am hoping to find the Sun.’ Similarly, this request must be phrased with positive intention, as if there is absolutely no doubt about it showing up and the Universe has no choice in the matter. For example, ‘This week I find…’ or an even stronger affirmation is ‘I now own a…’

Once the list is done, read it out aloud. In this way you are ordaining your wish with the power of the spoken word.

If you want to strengthen your request further you can cut out pictures and make a visual collage of your desire. Repeating your list in writing and via the spoken word, morning and night, also intensifies the energy your order receives. Sometimes you will get an intuitive feeling that this is just not necessary, in which case, simply place your wish list in a safe spot and wait for your desire to manifest in the physical world.

It really is as simple as that. This technique is powerful because your mind is part of the Universal mind or energy. Once you truly understand that you are connected at source to creation itself, you will have accessed the power of positive thinking which allows you to co-create your world. Once that happens all negative feelings, or any 'lack' mentality, will be replaced by a prosperity and abundance consciousness where miracles are commonplace.

Remember, IMAGE, ORDAIN, MANIFEST and change your life today.
