In Monday’s post, I gave you some simple, practical ways of raising your money vibration. Today, we’ll bring it back to the spiritual.
If you want more money, what is it that is behind this want? What is it that you are really wanting?
I think when you look at it, you don’t just want more money. You want more abundance.
Well, that seems rather like the same thing, doesn’t it? But it’s not. As I said in Tuesday’s post, the sooner you can divide these two concepts in your head, the better.
But, then, what exactly is abundance? And, of course, how can you get more of it?
Money Is Not the Same Thing as Abundance
Most people think, “If I just had more money, I’d be set.”
But, it’s not really true. There are plenty of millionaires out there who really aren’t abundant. They are either in debt, or simply stressed about losing everything. They might have a lot of money quantitatively, but they don’t really feel abundant.
You also often hear of people who win the lottery, and within a year or so, they are right back where they started. Nothing notable has really changed in their lives.
Other people might have very little money, but they get everything they want in life, and feel much more abundant.
Have you ever gotten a big windfall, and thought to yourself that you were going to put this to good use, and start to get ahead? But, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon you really have no idea where all the money went.
Or, you get a raise at work, but it feels like you really have no more money than before the raise.
All these examples demonstrate the difference between money and abundance.
When you get that windfall, or that raise at work, and your money vibration is really no higher than before, then it’ll be wasted away on frivolous items, and things really won’t change.
I remember once getting $5,000 after my grandmother had passed away. I thought it was a great opportunity to start to save up and get ahead. I used it to purchase two laptops, which we needed, and put much of the rest into investments.
However, my money vibration at the time just wasn’t lined up with greater wealth, and I ended up wasting it on unwise investments, and eventually lost it all.
On the other hand, my money vibration was always such that I knew that everything would work out. There was a time, about 2 or 3 months after Christine and I had gotten married, where we had somehow run out of money in the middle of the month. It was getting to the point that we needed groceries pretty soon.
This was before I even knew about the law of attraction. But, I knew that somehow it would work out. I didn’t even tell Christine about the shortage at the time, because I knew she would worry for nothing, and her anxiety would cause me to worry as well.
At that time, I was freelance programming. Sure enough, I got a project out of the blue just a few days later, and the amount I got was just what we needed to get through the month.
That certainly seemed like abundance to me. There was very little money, but we got the amount we needed, when we needed it, and everything worked out perfectly.
So, the amount of money is only one part of the equation. A far more important part is the level of abundance.
Abundance Is About Flow
So, what exactly is abundance, then? I have hopefully demonstrated that it is not the same as how much money you have in your bank account.
Abundance is about flow. The fact is that money is not just what you have right now. Even if you have $10,000 in the bank now, if you lost your job, or your source of income was cut off, that money would only last so long.
Abundance is the ability to allow money to flow into your life.
Of course, I’m speaking here of financial abundance. There are many other types of abundance, but really they are all related.
Financial abundance could also be about the things that money can buy. The only reason you really need money is to exchange for goods and services that you desire. So, abundance for some may take the form of certain things being provided for them at a discount, or even for free.
So, we could more precisely say that abundance is the ability to obtain the material goods and services that you desire in life, without struggle.
Want a new iPhone? Whether that comes by means of receiving enough money to buy it, or by receiving the iPhone itself for free, the point is that you were able to obtain that desired item.
Back in August, it was our 5 year anniversary. I wanted to take a trip and do something special, so I decided to manifest it. It turned out that someone paid all the expenses for us to take the trip we wanted to take. That, to me, was indeed a form of abundance, even though I didn’t pay a dime.
Abundance has a very specific feeling to it. It is not just eking out a living, barely getting by with the necessities. It is fully enjoying life, having the ability to obtain the things that you desire.
Abundance Is Always Here
The thing is, abundance is not all or nothing. Nothing in life is really all or nothing. You always have abundance in some aspect of your life, even in limited amounts.
How do you find it? Mostly, by the feeling.
What is that feeling? To me, it is freedom, security, safety, stability, joy, happiness, etc.
As said above, abundance is flow. Scarcity is stagnancy. Abundance is ease. Scarcity is struggle.
Where do you have flow in your life? Where do you have ease? This is where abundance is being manifested right now.
- Do you receive a regular paycheck from work? That’s abundance.
- Can you pay your bills without struggle? That’s abundance.
- Do you have food in the pantry? That’s abundance.
- Do you sometimes enjoy a dinner at a restaurant? That’s abundance.
- Do you have an internet connection? That’s abundance.
NO matter how much you are struggling in life, I guarantee you that you can find abundance, somewhere.
Abundance is the essential nature of the Universe. As such, it must be demonstrated in your life, even if in small amounts.
As said above, abundance is not only financial. Nature is a wonderful manifestation of abundance. Look around at all the stars at night, the water on earth, the animals and plant life, etc.
Even in the simple act of breathing, there is abundance. There is always enough oxygen for you to survive.
The essential nature of the Universe as abundance can be seen by simply going within. If you sit quietly and simply go within yourself, letting go of all resistant thoughts, you will touch the essence of abundance. I call this the zero state, which I will be discussing in greater detail next week.
That’s why I always recommend meditating at least once per day, because the more you get in touch with this inherent abundance within, the more it will manifest in your life.
How to Make Abundance Grow in Your Life
How much of the flow of abundance are you allowing into your life?
If you are constantly focused on the scarcity in your life, then you’re blocking that flow of abundance. It still slips through in small ways here and there, but it is overwhelmed by your focus on lack.
But, if you are mostly focused on that abundance, even in the smallest of manifestations, then you will allow more of that flow through.
How do you make anything grow in your reality? Remember the 3 elements of magic: focus, will, and emotion.
In other words, you set your will on creating greater abundance, you focus on the abundance that is already present, and you react to that abundance emotionally, by feeling good.
Magical living is very deliberate. Remember that the inner state comes first, and then outer reality will follow.
If you tell me you just don’t have very much abundance right now, I will tell you that this is because you’ve been focused on scarcity. You’ve likely been focused on trying to prevent scarcity, which by the law of attraction, cannot work as intended. It will only create more scarcity.
Instead, you must generate an inner state of abundance right now, independent of outside circumstances. You must simply decide to be abundant, now.
That’s really hard to do if all of life seems opposed to the abundance that you seek.
Luckily, that is never the case. That’s why I explained above that everyone in the world, no matter what their situation, has abundance in some way, no matter how small.
It’s simply, then, a matter of where you decide to place your focus.
Okay, maybe you don’t know how you’ll pay the phone bill, but at least you paid electric. Maybe you don’t have a lot of disposable income to treat yourself, but at least you have 3 meals a day. Maybe you can’t afford that vacation you’ve been wanting, at least right away, but at least your family is taken care of. Maybe your business is struggling, but at least you still have a steady paycheck.
It’s all a matter of what you choose to focus on. Sure, you could choose to focus on your problems, and what you can’t do. But, if you understand the law of attraction, then you’ll understand that this will only make those problems bigger.
On the other hand, if you choose to focus on what’s going right in your life, then the things going right will start to increase.
Maybe you can’t generate a feeling of abundance out of thin air, but you can generate that feeling if you focus on the abundance that is already present for you. So, you know, do that. 🙂
This is where the idea of budgeting I discussed on Tuesday can really help. You’d be surprised what you really can afford, once you take a look at where all your money is going. You won’t believe me until you try it and see for yourself, but it is very likely that you have a bit more room than you think to achieve your goals.
Abundance Is Easier than Scarcity
You might be surprised by this, but abundance actually takes less effort than does scarcity and lack.
As I said, the essence of the Universe is abundance. Abundance is all around you. It takes an insane amount of energy to block much of that out, and live a life of scarcity.
You get used to it though, and don’t notice the stress it requires to keep up that level of resistance. And, many people are too scared to let go. After all, it’s what they know best. It’s familiar.
But, as you start letting go, abundance will begin to flood in. That’s just a necessity, because it takes energy to keep it out. Let go of that energy, and it’ll naturally start flowing into your life.
This is the reverse of how most people think about it. They think it takes hard work and plenty of effort to be abundant. But, it really couldn’t be easier. It’s just a matter of letting go.
So, then, look at where you are the most stressed, especially around money. What would it be like if you could let go of that? Don’t worry about doing it all at once. But, what if you could let go of that stress and anxiety, even just a little bit?
Practice letting go even just a little, and giving it over to the Universe that much more. Instead of that stress, imagine feeling light and positive about it. What would that be like? Again, just a small shift will do wonders.
As you let go more and more, more of that Universal essence of abundance will flow into your life, and you’ll start to see things shift. And, that shifting will give you more confidence, to let go even more, which will create even more abundance. Once you get started, abundance will just keep creating more and more of itself.

What Lies Beyond the Law of Attraction?
What if the LOA isn't enough? Enter your info to get my free e-course, What Lies Beyond the Law of Attraction?
My monthly goal didn’t manifest. I was convinced that it would come about. Now I feel even more unsupported by the Universe. I wished for the same thing last winter, but I guess the Universe just doesn’t like me. I see jerks around who have what I want, but I can’t have it. Until December, seeing others with what I want didn’t trigger negative feelings, except for a few times, so it’s not that I had resistance there. My confidence has weakened even more thanks to this failure. I don’t even want to have another monthly goal, because it’s such a bitchslap in the face when you invest so much time and effort for nothing. I don’t know if this LOA / magic thing works only for people who can talk to gods and spirits, or is it that the Universe is simply a discriminating asshole who has favorites, and I’m not one of them.
I’d like to hear someone else besides Brandon tell me that their monthly goal manifested. Kat? Frann? Anyone?
Also the Universe is very persistent about not introducing me with people who share interests with me. Nobody really is interested in things that I’m interested in, no-one likes the music I like. It’s obvious that the damn Universe is against me.
And that is why you couldn’t be matched up with anyone. You have to focus on the possibility of there being someone with whom you can be friends.
The Universe won’t do the inner work for you. You have to decide on what you will have happen in your reality. You can’t react emotionally to outside circumstances, if you want those circumstances to change. It is as simple as that.
Z, if I may, since you asked, you need to be social to live the social life you want. What I mean by this is, you need to be part of the scene. All countries have a scene, so you know what I mean. I was a socialite, in terms of being a party girl in the scene, so this is what I mean. I can give you some pointers that perhaps will help you out a bit. Of course I am a girl, and guys actually get out more then girls, but this is not always the case. You need to mingle, get out there, talk to people and be responsive to those who talk to you and forget about those who do not without taking it personally at all. You are doing this because it is fun, you want to take a break from school and it is good for you. Also, you meet people who can help with school and be with the in-crowd, which helps a lot. I never went out looking for these things. As a matter of fact, wherever I go I am in the in-crowd, I just navigate to them naturally and there I am. Not that I become past of the clique or anything, I belong to all cliques, yet to none of them becasue I am my own person. I also hang out with lots of guys, as I feel comfortable with them Not all women would feel that way, that is why I think I can help a bit with this.
Be free with this. Feel open to possibilities and just go with them. Hang out at the cafes and coffee shops and people will talk to you, I guarantee it. If you are not into that, then how about the video stores? When I used the Internet in Greece, it was full of guys playing video games and I got asked out by a different one every day. What I am trying to say is, put it forth and feel free about it and it will come to you. I do not think I can explain it any better.
A social life is good to have of course and you are obviously seeking it. Be cool about it and do not get frustrated. Do not jump to conclusions and say that “they do not like me” or whatnot. It is not natural to be liked by all. Even saints are thrown stones, and Jesus got crucified, so you get the point. But going out with an inner glow of wanting to mingle and learn new things (I learned a lot when dating) is the mentality to go about it. You are doing this for you, so be true to yourself and have fun and it will just come.
Kat, thanks for the advice. I appreciate your time and effort to help me. However, my entire life I’ve had no friends and haven’t been going out… ever. So, I can’t just turn into someone who can easily socialize with people. All that I know is, that no matter how kind I am to someone, they forget about me. Nobody really likes me. And there’s a lot of fear in me, as well as self-worth issues. Everyone’s always been abandoning me, so it’s very hard to feel worthy. I thought that at least I was building trust with the Universe… but I guess I was wrong eh…
You are not wrong. You just need to do the inner work in order for the Universe to “conspire” with you. It is all an inside job. If you feel you are always abandoned, then so it will be. That is what my ex thought and what I ended up doing because he had those vibes there, so I look back and see that it manifested for him! I actually wanted to stay, but you see how powerful that vibration is? So, changing your mentality is a must. You want to lead a better life, so the pre-requisite to do so is to change that thinking because that will allow you to get to where you want to go.
The thing is, if you do not believe it, no one else will. Or, people will see something good in you, but if you do not see it, well, then, it is a no go and will fall flat. That is just the way it is. I would not say it is even harsh, I’d merely say get to the place mentally of where you want to be and you will get there. You may not understand this at the moment, but I think you will at another point.
Also, how you see yourself is not how others see you. My ex was one of the hottest guys around, but since he did not see himself as such, it flattened out as well. I do not mean to bring up this example all the time, but when someone does fall in love with you, you want to be in a pace so as not to scare them away. You have the power to either keep them in your life or shoo them away. Please do not do that. Self love is important in finding a partner as well. It is not selfish at all because to keep the partner, you must love yourself, otherwise you hurt not only yourself but them as well because they love you.
This won’t make any sense now, but it will one day.
So true, Kat. I’m still not sure how I kept Christine, because I was in an awful place in my life of self loathing, insecurity, etc. It did stress the relationship, but I think we both had similar issues, so we worked them out together. Not the path I’d recommend, though, as it was quite stressful.
Thank you, Kat. I feel a lot of wisdom from your words. 🙂
I hope I’ll have a nice refreshment during tonight’s sleep, and then I’ll read again what you wrote, with fresh vibration.
Yes, Brandon, you got it. I was hurt very deeply by his stance and I cried oceans for that person, mostly because of how he treated himself and what he thought about himself. I missed appointments, and put off work resulting in staying up all night to finish it, because I had to help him with his issues. That hurt and those who tell you otherwise are lying. It was very stressful; though based on love, yet I could not work things out for him. I stayed long enough and for my own sake I had to leave, regardless of how much I loved or not.
So you see, dealing with issues helps everyone, not just you, or rather, you do have a better life when dealing with issues. when you are okay with yourself, you make everyone’s life easier and you do not go around hurting others.
Hi Z,
It’s simply because you weren’t a match to it. Your vibration in this comment is obviously pretty negative. If you already see the Universe as unsupportive, obviously it cannot bring you the things that you desire. You need to soothe that resistance, and not see it as discriminating.
Also, how close to your goal were you? Did you make progress towards it, or was there no progress at all?
I was feeling good about it, when I saw whoever with it. At first there was some resistance, but I released it, and then it was going well. My goal consisted of more than 1 item, and there were manifestations of people with something resembling all the items quite well! And I felt good about it, and acknowledged it, and let it go. One of the items is even not so hard to obtain, that’s why I expanded on the goal a weeks ago, as I wrote here. Actually, yesterday was the 1st of December, so I already knew yesterday that the whole thing didn’t manifest, but I didn’t mind much… or so I thought.
But today in the morning I was feeling good while running, and then in the middle of running, there were some circumstances that pissed me off, and ruined my mood drastically. And then I remembered about the failure of the monthly goal, and that’s when I saw how much the Universe hates me. Even if something doesn’t work out, and I still choose to feel good, it will surely find a way to piss me off and make me feel miserable.
Hi Z,
The thing is, you have these underlying attitudes, so the Universe must do exactly what you expect it to do. I recommend changing those attitudes, to make room for the Universe giving you what you want. I promise it does work.
I had three monthly goals: a weight goal, a financial goal, and a business goal. The weight goal didn’t manifest at all. The financial goal manifested partly in the month of November, and then the rest of it came a day or two into December. With the business goal, I had a similar experience to Z. I noticed a lot of positive signs (customers showing interest, etc), and so I was thinking things were on track. But then at the end of November, I checked the numbers, and no change had happened. So for a day I felt really bummed, thinking the whole monthly goal thing was not really working. But then I realized that noticing changes around me (like customers showing interest) is a part of the manifestation process. You know how first you get good emotions, and then, if you keep at it, you get good ideas but can’t really act on them, and then, if you keep at it, you notice signs in your environment, and then, if you keep at it, action starts feeling good, and then, if you keep at it, then finally it manifests? Well, really, I got all the way to signs in the environment, and that’s pretty good. Clearly I have some more work to do, but I did make manifestation progress even though my goal didn’t get met.
I really had myself fooled, thinking I was fine with my goal not manifesting, and then when November ended I felt so bad! But that shows me a bit of resistance that was hanging out without my realizing it. I probably wouldn’t have confronted that resistance and let it go if I hadn’t had the monthly goal. It sucks to have to do that, but at least I feel like I’ve got a little bit of resistance out of my vibration. Without the monthly goal, I wouldn’t have felt any pressure, (and that makes life pleasant!), but it probably would have taken me ages to find and release that resistance.
If it just feels too awful to go through the disappointment of failing to meet a monthly goal, then I’d drop the monthly goal-setting and just do the Hermit path for a while–relax, release, chill. If the resistance and disappointment that comes up is manageable, though, then setting a goal (and if you succeed, great, and if you don’t, manage the resistance that comes up so that next month can go better) might be overall a faster path to your goal eventually manifesting.
Hi Lisa,
Congratulations on making progress on your goals! That’s awesome.
I know it can feel disappointing if you don’t reach your goal. But as you said, you have to acknowledge the progress you have made. Sometimes the resistance is too great that it can’t manifest in the timeframe you gave the Universe.
Although I’m curious for both of you, for the goals that didn’t manifest, were you actively focusing on them at least once a day? Were you releasing any resistance that came up to the surface? Or was it more of a set-it-and-forget-it sort of thing?
For my goal, a lot of resistance came up, but I successfully worked through it and literally got my goal on November 30. My view is that if you are serious about the timeframe, and work on your goal daily, it’ll either come, or you’ll know exactly why it didn’t, from all the resistance that arose.
Lisa, thank you so much for sharing this. I am really glad that you managed to accomplish a goal, and I wish you a lot of luck and fun from now on as well!
Brandon,
Near the end of the month, I left intending for the night, but sometimes by the time the night would come, I would either be too sleepy to be able to concentrate on intending, or I would be depressed, so I wouldn’t be able to get into the zero state, let alone positive state. But I did my best throughout the month. Usually there were no bad feelings while intending. There were sometimes, and I would allow them, and release them. Also sometimes when I saw someone with what I want, I would feel bad feelings, but I managed to release that as well.
P.S. Tomorrow I have an exam, and thanks to this new decrease in trust towards the Universe, I know I’m not gonna pass. hooray~
Hi Z,
I see. With the Magus path, it really requires that you are regular and consistent with your intending. I know some people say set-it-and-forget-it, and that may work if there is little resistance, and if you don’t care about the timeframe, but for active, magical manifestations, it really requires delving daily into the vibration of your goal.
I think the lack of regularity, as well as the depression you said you had on occasion, contributed to the goal not manifesting.
Just take your experience, realize what went wrong, and try again. Or, as Lisa said, if the monthly goals are too stressful, then just go back to the Hermit path. I’m not sure if you listened to Tuesday’s support call, but I discussed the differences between the two paths, as far as manifestations are concerned.
I actively focused on the goals about four days a week, as far as a formal practice goes. I entered the zero state, focused on the good feeling of having the goal or appreciating something about it, then let those good feelings go and re-entered the zero state, then focused on the good feelings again, then the zero state. I did this cycle (zero, focus, zero, focus, zero) for two goals each session. (Which two I did was sort of random, just whichever I felt like that day.) Unfortunately, it seems to take me a long time to get into the zero state (maybe fifteen minutes the first time in a session, and then several minutes each time after that), so by the time I do two goals, it’s been about an hour and I need to go do other things. My mind drifts a lot and I want to make sure I really am getting into the zero state, so it winds up being a little time-consuming. Maybe your post about the zero state will help with that; I know you’re working on that for a future post.
Informally, whenever the subjects came up I didn’t have much issue letting go of resistance and feeling good. For example, if someone else said they had lost weight, I didn’t feel envious or anything, just a happy, “Hey, that’s great” and feeling like I’m on my way with that myself. I did struggle with resistance when November 30th and December 1st came around and I saw that I hadn’t made my numbers. But I think the weak link in the chain is probably either doing only 4 days a week instead of every day, or else being so slow to enter the zero state.
Hi Lisa,
You might be trying too hard to get into the zero state. Usually I just take a minute or so to breathe deeply, be mindful of my thoughts, and drop into inner peace. But yes hopefully next week’s post will clarify this for you.
What I’d probably do is to work on all 3 goals, every day. It doesn’t have to be all at once, though. But if it is, then I’d enter the zero state, feel good about the goal, drop it. Enter into zero again, focus on the second goal, drop it. Same for the 3rd.
There’s also another shortcut, in the form of journaling. I talk about this method in the Effortless Money Manifestation course.
I guess that I’m having a lot of trouble because almost all areas of my life are broken. If only I could say, “the monthly goal didn’t manifest, but oh well at least I’ve got good friends”… but oh wait I don’t… or strong, healthy body… oh wait I don’t. And so on…
Also, I am actually several months older than you, Brandon, according to what I heard about your age in a support call. Considering my age, and the fact that I’ve spent like 15 years in a bloody agony, I don’t have any more time to waste. So the Hermit path is a no go. Either my life’s finally gonna freaking change, or I might as well erase myself from this world. I’ve been suffering for way too long, and I’m not willing to take it anymore.
Hi Z,
But you do have things that are right. Remember what I said in this very post: everyone has at least something that is going right for them. Focus on that thing, and don’t worry about the others. That’s really the best way of getting out of this negative vibration right now.
If you are seriously considering hurting yourself in any way, then I really encourage you to get the help you need. If you are 28, like I am, then you have your whole life ahead of you to achieve your goals. Things can change in a matter of months or years. A few years ago, I never thought I’d be where I am today.
Actually, I did try to end my life many times in the past, but during the last few years, I haven’t. I guess that I just got used to the awfully low vibration, and my tolerance for pain increased. Meditation and knowledge about LOA has helped me recover from low states much faster. Before, it would take me a few to several days to recover from a low state. Nowadays, it takes less than a day, at average.
And yes, I’m 28, and I feel like an old man. Worn out and dead inside. Not because of the age, but because of all the pain that has destroyed me over the years. I see my classmates, who are 7 years younger than me, who enjoy life and have what I have never had. A year ago, this would hurt me a lot often. Now it doesn’t happen often, and actually I can feel good seeing them happy like that. My love towards people has increased. However none of those helps me lol. I’m still not liked. And then I find the comfort in the Universe’s support… until it stabs me harshly like now, and then I have nothing again.
I dunno, I might be a lost case, Brandon. I’ll have to rest while sleeping and see what tomorrow brings me. I would be really glad if I could tell you that I finally accomplished something, or if I could finally support you with money. However Mr. Universe decided not to give me the manifestations, and not to give me money to support you. lol
Hi Z,
Can you tell me one thing that is going right in your life right now? Just one.
I’ve been finding new songs lately, that are really beautiful. Also beautiful artworks. Or they found me actually, I wasn’t actively searching for them.
And I’ve shared some of those on facebook, but no-one seems to like them. I know, it’s stupid to want others to like them too, but it feels really lonely.
Okay, do you see what you just did there?
I asked for one positive thing. You did give that to me, which is awesome, but then you ruined it by focusing on the negative again.
You have this habit of focusing on the negative, even going so far as to find something negative about a positive experience.
If you could do the opposite—finding something positive, even about negative experiences—you’d be set. 🙂
So, focus on this positive thing, finding nice art and beautiful songs. Focus on the feeling of that. Let that be enough, just for now. I’m not saying it has to be enough forever, but it’s something.
haha yeah I see.. but I couldn’t help it. I guess I’ll work on this, what you suggested. Thank you again, and sorry for having troubled you. I think I feel better now.
It’s never a trouble at all. My passion is getting others to have the same success with the law of attraction that I have had. You’ve been doing so well, lately, and I am happy about that. But you just need to change your attitude a bit. Look for the positive in life. 🙂
Z, for goodness sake, you are not old. 50 is the new 40, after all and I do not care which country you live in. I just read about an LOA practitioner who went for her psychology degree and she is in her 50s. Also, an 105 researcher was granted her PhD after being denied it for her Jewish heritage during the war, so do not tell me it is impossible.
I know about despair and understand where you are, but your thinking is cloudy now and perception is skewed, so please clean it up. You are looking at a mirror in the fun house which distorts reality.
My cousin was like you, until he went out, met this girl out of the blue and manifested the business he always wanted that fell into his lap after marrying her. I think he was 35 when he got his BA. It took him 17 years and that is allowed in that country, but it is still good. Does it really matter how long it takes if you enjoy the journey? He took the Hermit path, but hey, it does work.
The only thing I can say after reading this is “Wow, I’m abundant”, my new affirmation!
Sounds like a great affirmation. 😀
I also received payment after contacting accounting who explained their convoluted payment process and apologized profusely.
YAY! That’s amazing! ????
I’ve said that I really like the abundance manifestations; getting something to happen in a concrete way. I’ve found that abundance is just the obtaining of my desires, whether I pay for it or someone else does. Z, I had a goal of paying off my laptop. I managed it because instead of $330 dollars left, the universe threw me a boon of just randomly subtracting 25 dollars. So, I stretched and paid the rest off. That was in total a two-month goal starting in October; to pay the rest of that off. So, even though I didn’t have a money goal, I did achieve my goal in the two payments I promised myself. I’ve noticed that for me, specific dollar amounts don’t work as well as just acquiring the results. If the method is sound, the manner of the results, for me don’t matter. I am going to set a money goal probably next month; I’ve got some stuff to work out this month. I use the hermit path and just get the general feel of goals until I really want to manifest one, then I’ve already got the feel and it’s easy. I ask my guides for answers pertaining to my goal so I know right where to apply my force. Just try the path of the mystic/hermit if the magus does not feel good and causes you to much stress.
I think that’s awesome you paid off your laptop. 🙂 Great job on that!
I agree abundance is basically the ability to obtain our desires, in a way that’s easy and effortless.
Hey, Justin
Congratulations on completing your goal! I just heard it in the support call, too.
I’m not sure what precisely to do yet, but I’ll try to take it a bit easier.
I came across this today elsewhere on the internet.
“The real gift of abundance isn’t money or things. It’s a state of being. It’s feeling safe, secure, powerful, blessed and willing to receive the gifts of this universe.”
Just what Brendon talks about in this post.
There is abundance everywhere, if you look for it. How many leaves are on the ground at this time of year? How many droplets of water come out of a tap (or faucet) when you turn it on? How many pixels make up the screen you are staring at? How many hairs are on the head of the person standing in front of you in the queue? How many cars are making up the traffic jam you are stuck in? How many specs of paint will it take to paint a wall? How many snowflakes are going to fall to earth this winter? Change how you look at life and you will see abundance all around you. Enjoy the abundance in your life.
Hi Tim,
Yes, all so true. Abundance is really all around us. 🙂 If we can find it in even one place, then we can create it for ourselves.
Z, why don’t people like you?
Don’t say “I don’t know”, just guess what the reason(s) is/are. There might be an easy NLP fix.
Great post Brandon. Thank you for explaining abundance in more detailed and deeper way. You are very right there. Having lots of money doesn’t always make you feel abundant. But small and simple things can make you feel so great and happy. And like Tim said I also believe that abundance is state of mind.
When I started studying law of attraction I really felt so grateful for what I have and always been have. When I think about it everything fits perfectly together and it couldn’t have been any better. The best gift I have got from the universe is confidence. I always knew I am going to be fine. Ever since I have started meditating I am having lots of peace. No guilt about my past and no anxiety for future. I know things will work out eventually.
And I think whenever we want something we actually want experience behind that particular feeling. Which we can have anytime in our imagination.
Hey Rhea,
Thanks so much for your comment. YOu’re so right: it is definitely a mindset. You can choose to be abundant right now, even before your money situation improves. Our power of choice is so amazing to me, and yet so many people don’t use it.
