a lot of think that people think that Prosperity is Just money but really there's many many other things that come under this opes of prosperity there's time and love and success and joy and comfort and beauty and wisdom and good health and money you know you can be very poor in time if you feel really rushed all the time and always pressured you have poverty in your time but if you feel that you have all the time in the world and then whatever you want to finish you'll get done and it will it will all
happen then you're really prosperous in time and what about success you know if you feel that it's really Way Beyond your reach then you're never going to get it but if you feel that you can be successful whatever that means to you then that's wonderful that's Prosperity Comfort how many of you are prosperous in Comfort or do you live lives that are really very uncomfortable and hard and tight wisdom do you have prosperity and wisdom do you feel that all the wisdom in the universe is available to you or do you think oh I'm just
me and I don't know very much and you know I can't figure things out if you feel that you're really connected with the universe and you really trust that part of you that's inside then you can be absolutely prosperous in the abundance of wisdom and What About Love do you feel that you I have an abundance of Love or are you very poor in love is there very just a little bit of it in your life how about Joy do you feel you're really prosperous and have an abundance of Joy or is that something you
just allow yourself a little bit of now and then and you really are very poor in joy and then what about beauty do you see beauty everywhere do you allow yourself to experience an abundance of beauty and what about Good Health do you have no health is there very little are you poor in good health or are you prosperous and do you have an abundance of good health and of course there's money then there's money too you know what do you let yourself have are you poor in money or do you have an abundance of
it I like to use that uh image a lot of the ocean standing in front of the ocean with a container in your hand you know and you're there and you have this container but what is it is it a thimble with a hole in it is it a small cracked cup is it a mug is it a vase is it a a a quart jar or a pale or a bucket or a wash tub or do you have a pipeline and remember no matter how a pipeline run it right in but no matter how
much you have whatever your container it is and no matter how much you're taking from the ocean of life and even though we're all standing there we're not robbing each other and there's plenty for everyone and no matter how much we take there is no way we're going to run that ocean dry it's absolutely impossible and if you can see yourself standing at the ocean of life in the same way and remember the container that you have is your Consciousness and you can always change your consciousness and it doesn't matter if you came from poverty
doesn't matter where you came from and it doesn't even matter what your parents beliefs were or if they came from the depression or whatever because it's your Consciousness and what you're choosing to think and believe about prosperity and your ability to deserve it is what's going to create it for you see it has nothing to do with getting people always think oh I want to get this or I want to get this it's really allowing yourself to accept which is a different concept when you're not having something that you want it's because on some level
you're not allowing yourself to accept it but you see life is here for us it's here for us and it's here to support us in every way but remember what we give out we get back so if we're stingy with life then life will be stingy with us it's just that simple if we steal from life life will steal from us if you take paper clips from the office or do your personal xeroxing there that's not fair game because it's still it's the same old thing what you give out you get back and what you're
saying to the universe in a way is I can't afford to take those things for have those things for myself I don't have the ability to earn it therefore I must take it from somebody and that's poverty thinking that never ever ever creates Prosperity life is here for us and there is an incredible abundance on this planet sometimes we only see our lack but the abundance that is here is so enormous there is an absolute abundance of money on this planet there is so much money that we can't even count it and yes it is
true that there are many people who have very little but it has nothing to do with the amount of money that's here it's a lack of Consciousness it's a not deserving not accepting the power that created us has put everything here for us but it's up to us to deserve and to accept that's what we need to do you know what we concentrate on increases so you want to be very careful that you're not concentrating on debt and lack and bills and negativity because that's that's what's going to increase it in our life if you
can concentrate on bills and see them as enemies then they're going to be enemies and you will never ever have enough to really take care of them bills are wonderful things they're they're they're what it means that somebody has trusted us enough to give us their service or their product knowing that we have the ability to pay it and if we can welcome those bills with love and rejoice when you write a check out to pay it or you pay a bill absolutely Rejoice that you're able to do it and know that what you're sending
out is coming back to you see too often we think oh another bill or we write the check and say oh there isn't enough or whatever but start feeling a good flow with this whole thing self-image is very important because self-image feeling good about yourself is prosperity Prosperity begins with that doesn't matter how money you have if you don't feel good about yourself you're never going to enjoy it and then look at your Prosperity now because everything that you do have in your life is a reflection of what you believe you deserve what you believe
about yourself you know look at your home is this a place that you really love to live in is it comfortable and joyous or is it cramped and dirty and always messy the same thing with your car you know is your car something that you really don't even like or is it something that reflects the love you have for yourself what about your clothes you know are they just a bother and a nuisance and something you have to wear or is it something you really rejoice in because again it's a reflection of you and what
about your bank account you know how do you feel about that and what is the state of it are you friends with money or is it an enemy all these things are important because what we have in our life is a reflection of ourselves but remember no matter where we are or whatever is happening it's a reflection of ourselves but it's only a thought and a thought can be changed it's a thought about what you believe about yourself what you believe about life and what you believe you deserve now let's take our little mirrors out
for a moment our precious little mirrors that are so wonderful how many people here do mirror work on a daily basis well a few how many people have never done mirror work all right well you're in for an interesting experience the reason I like mirrors so much is that they really move you through stuck places because they reflect to you almost instantly what your beliefs are that are against you okay let's look into the mirror for a moment look into your eyes and just say to yourself my biggest fear about money is all right just
notice what comes up what comes up what is coming up when you do that what sort of fears when you do something in the mirror like this and a thought comes up the good thing to do is to write it down and if you're doing your affirmations in front of your mirror at home always have a pad and a pencil with you and write down whatever that negative messages and you don't even have to deal with it right then but later on you can sit down and maybe you'll have a list of them and say
wow this is what I believe no wonder I'm not having the prosperity that I want you see if we don't see what our negative messages are is it's very hard to change them and what most of us do is when we hear feel a negative message we try to run from it and we have all sorts of ways of doing that I mean people go to the extremes of drug and alcohol abuse and things like that but there are lots of little ways that we run from our own barrier thoughts and if we could ex
instead of that accept them and examine them and turn them around say no I don't want to believe that anymore remember it's only a thought and a thought can be changed that's all we're dealing with no matter how difficult it is feelings are thoughts in Motion in the body that's what they are they have no entity of themselves so we we have a thought we get a feeling and then we get frightened of the feeling or we try to run from it but if we realize it's just the thought moving through our body and the
thought can be changed so if you look at those things and you say no I don't want to do this anymore I don't want to believe this and yours yours just came up but it's probably an old one there you know and I don't want to feel that I'm going to lose money if I get it or something like that I don't want to feel that I'm starving I would rather choose to believe that I'm abundantly taken care of I'm an extremely capable person I can always create for myself and I am always safe in
the universe my everything is supplied for me we have to change these thoughts and we must do them deliberately because we're the people that are in charge it's our minds we think in our minds no body else can do that and we have to we get the opportunity now of choosing what we want to think when we were very little we had a lot of stuff fed into us by our parents and other places around us I mean after all we got it from relatives we got it from Neighbors we got it from school we
got it from the church we got it from television all this stuff came in and we're little and we accept most of it very very few small children really can say no that's not nonsense and I'm not going to believe that mostly children accept it and say yes yes okay but we're not little children now we're adults and we get to choose what we want to think only we have to look at what we are thinking at so we know what we need to change it to do not have to struggle in order to make
money if you really work at things that you love you can usually bring in good money if you work at things you hate or if you have a belief that you don't deserve then you're going to then you won't have it but the people who are telling you you have to work hard they work hard yes yes and they don't make as much as you do they don't seem to have as right okay well you know do you want to see you've put out your hand and you've said I'm willing to help you up and
they said no we're going to pull you down right and which way do you want to go see I reach out my hand a lot to people and if they take it and want to come up that's wonderful then I can teach and we can really go places but if they're going to try to drag me down you know I say bye and I go talk and I go work with somebody who really wants to come up out of the mud I see do you feel that uh money is an exchange of energy it's energy
it's exchange of services that's all it is it has no meaning in itself and a a you know a $10 bill is quite as spiritual as a rose it's matter it's form it's energy and it's what we give it it's what we believe about it we have so much stuff on money I used to to find it was much easier to teach a class on sexuality than it was on money because when we get our money beliefs pushed it's amazing how angry we get but they're very tied into us even though we may say I
want to prosper we will put up barriers and fights and all sorts of things if you're going to listen to people listen to the winners listen to people who know what they're doing listen to people who have proved what they're doing remember money problems or lack or having money is by right of Consciousness it's what we believe we deserve first of all you don't need my approval to live well and what I believe really doesn't matter for you if you've got it going so it works enjoy it in any part of your life you know
if your life is filled with love don't listen to some miserable lonely person tell you how to run your life if your life is working well with money don't let somebody who does whose life is not working with money tell you how to run it and see very often remember this happens with our parents too you know we'll have a parent who really had a miserable life they come from a difficult place and their own life is miserable and then they will tell you how to run your life you know I like to think that
we have a cosmic bank account all of us it's like a mental a cosmic bank account and we can put in deposits of affirmations of positive thoughts of believing we deserve and we can eliminate the debts the the negative debts and negative thoughts and negative beliefs we can take those out and the more that you put in wonderful experiences and wonderful thoughts into your Cosmic bank account the more you will bring take out big dividends remember your Consciousness is the best bank account that you can have what you do up here is far more important
than what you do just in a bank account loving yourself pays enormous dividends enormous dividends I know lots of people get upset because they say they're on a fixed income but remember who fixed it who fixed it and it's a thing of Consciousness it can be changed we want to realize that where we are is the totality of possibilities not a little bit but the totality of possibilities and all things are possible we want to know that our job is only one channel of an Infinite Source there is an incredible Infinite Source that supplies everything
from the air we breathe to the vegetation to the plants and the animals and the planets and the stars and everything that's imaginable and our jobs are like one channel that's all it is we can ex we can enlarge this enormously anything that's fixed any fixed income in our life has been fixed by us by an acceptance or a belief so we want to enlarge that and really Let It Go think for a moment about money and success and work and bills and debt and envy and lack and guilt how do you feel about that
what are your beliefs about it what do you think about your work do you think work is a drudge that you have to go through or do you see it as something that you really love to do and enjoy what do you feel about debt is debt something that really drags you down or do you just see it as something that that you can take care of easily and you don't allow it to pile up what is your belief about lack is lack something that's always in your life or can you see that lack could
be something that's part of the past and is not part of what's going on now again what do you feel about bills bills are these things that people get such stuff on but they're only pieces of paper and saying somebody trusted us enough and what about Envy are you jealous and envious of of people who have and what about guilt do you really feel that you don't deserve see these are all poverty oriented thinking patterns any negative thought that you have about money is poverty oriented so listen to what you say and listen to what
you're thinking I love the exercise of having people clean out their closets go and clean out your closets and your refrigerators take all the stuffff in the closets that you haven't worn in a period of time and either sell it or give it away or burn it but get it out so that you have room for the new you want to make room for new stuff to come in so clean out your closets Let It Go and as you're doing it you say this thing of I'm cleaning out the closets of my mind same thing
with refrigerators you know is that a place where there's lots and lots of little bits of food stuck in the corners let get it all out clean it out make room because people who have very cluttered closets and very cluttered refrigerators have cluttered minds they're not thinking clearly it's just symbolic that's all it is it's symbolic of what what we've have in here you know you can do some wonderful affirmations in the morning when you get up and again I love this gesture because it it's so symbolic and it says to the universe I'm ready
I'm ready you know and just say I'm open and and receptive to receiving all good this is a wonderful day of prosperity one of the affirmations that I've used for a long time is that my income is constantly increasing just that simple my income is constantly increasing and then I watch it happen What We Believe for ourselves is going to come true and when we're doing our affirmations again if you do a positive affirmation and the negative comes up just say thank you for sharing thank you for sharing don't you want to hear it we
don't want to run from the negative affirmation but what we want to do is acknowledge it but not give it power not give it power so whatever is coming up so when you hear them write them down again write them down and give yourself a chance to then turn them around into parent into positive affirmations if you want to change your job first of all if you say I hate this job it is not going to get you what you want all you're going to do is take dissatisfaction with you into the next job what
I like to tell people to do if they want to change a job first of all is bless this current job with love put a lot of love into it thank it for being there when you wanted it when it was there when you first got it and know that you're now passing it on to somebody else that will love it and will probably do an even better job than you're doing then open your in that state then open yourself to a wonderful new position know that there are people out there that are looking for
exactly what you have to offer and that you're being brought together on the Checker Board of life I love that image of here you go oh hi there you are but you know it's been happening like this for a while and that you're working somewhere that you that uses your talents and abilities you're being fulfilled you're working with and for people that you love and that love you and you're earning a good income and it's in a beautiful location you know put it all in and and and with that sort of atmosphere then you can
attract something wonderful to you it's the same thing with an apartment or a home if you want to move from where you are don't wand around saying oh I hate this apartment because you're not going to find something you really love or if you do find something nice you're going to find this awful dissatisfaction in it right away because you're taking your Consciousness when you moved to your apartment it was wonderful so put love into it and say thank you for being here for me we really had a good time and now it's time for
me to move on and I know somebody else wonderful is going to come and live here and then I'm opening myself to a wonderful new place to live in the perfect location you know with lots of light and Sun of air if that's important to you it's very important to me and put in everything that you want and always add at a price I can easily afford at a price I can easily afford don't limit yourself and don't put something on there put at at a price I can easily afford then it's amazing what can
come in that is exactly what you want same thing with a car if you want to leave the car that you have if you want a new one put love into it thank it for being there for you and say I'm moving on now I'm moving to a wonderful new car and I know somebody else will love you the more you can do that the better it is the better it is now to want something new in your life is not to deny what you have unless you're releasing something and then you you don't have
to deny it but you can say I'm letting it go because it no longer serves me and now I want to create this new in my life and start the new affirmation going and remember if you have had experiences in your life that are not comfortable on some level they're mirrors of you we don't always like to hear that but everything in our life is a mirror of us so if something is happening out there that's not comfortable we have to look inside and say how are we creating it what is it about me or
what is it within me that believes that I deserve this experience because otherwise we wouldn't bring it to us so perhaps I I would say that perhaps a little more loving yourself would help because when you get that flowing you won't bring in uncomfortable experiences when I was a little girl and then when I grew up and and started out in the world my self-esteem was so low and I had such a terrible self-image that I created awful experiences just terrible experiences and that continued until gradually I learned how to use your mind and that
loving yourself is the way to bring good things into your life life and then my experiences changed but you know if you just say oh well it's all it's scary and and if I open myself up I'll get terrible things you probably will until you've changed whatever it is inside of you that attracts that once in Los Angeles I was looking for an apartment it took me 6 months and when I was looking I couldn't believe the junk that I was seeing I kept saying this is Los Angeles it's filled with wonderful Apartments where are
they all I could see was junky Apartments that I wouldn't consider and it took me 6 months and then when I found the one that I wanted it was magnificent and the thing was that the building was being built and I couldn't get it because it wasn't built yet and when it was built it was waiting for me and sometimes that happens you know you look for something and you're not finding and you're not finding and you're not finding there's a reason for that now you know that you're going to get a wonderful place very
often all we do is exchange Prosperity somebody gives you something and you right away give it back you reciprocate or somebody takes you to lunch and you immediately have to take them to lunch or somebody gives you a gift and you immediately have to give them a gift learn to receive learn to accept learn to say thank you and just receive and you know if the universe likes to know that you can receive and not just EXP change and sometimes you don't need to give back to the person that gave to you you'll give to
somebody else at another time but learn to accept a lot of us have problems with that we can give but we can't you know and and when somebody gives you a gift say smile and say thank you it's all you need to do is smile and say thank you you know if somebody gave you a gift and you said them oh it's the wrong size or it's the wrong color I guarantee that person will never give you another gift and the universe will say this person doesn't want any good you know you accept graciously and
if it really isn't right for you then you pass it on to somebody that can use it same thing with compliments if somebody gives you a compliment smile and say thank you just smile and say thank you but remember we're only dealing with thoughts and thoughts can be changed when we change our thinking we change our reality that's it's just that simple so let's know some positive things for ourselves we are open and receptive to wonderful new ideas we allow prosperity to enter our lives on a level that has never entered before we deserve the
best and we are willing to accept our income is constantly increasing we move away from poverty thinking into Prosperity thinking we love ourselves we rejoice in who we are and we know that life is here for us and will supply us with everything that we need we move from success to success from Joy To Joy and from abundance to abundance we are one with the power that created us and we express for ourselves the greatness that we are we are Divine magnificent expressions of life and we are open and receptive to all good and so
it is thank you very much
