Hi
I have a few questions that I seem to be "hanging onto". Most are "reconciling" type questions (how do I reconcile this new thing with this old thing I already know sort of thing ....) - So here goes!!

Here are some questions that I intend to have answered

1. If by the laws of attraction / intention, we can only affect "our space" or "our experience", where does the power from "prayer for others" come in? Wouldn't our prayers fall on deaf ears? Can you explain that in more detail with an example or two?

2. Can we actually get to the place where we control our "beliefs" so strongly that we can "fly" or "teleport" or all the other crazy wonderful things that we gave up when we were little girls and boys.

3. Generosity vs. Common Sense: This question is about money, the law and energy of "giving" and "receiving".
I have an "alarm bell" that goes off if my spending habits change. I often experience shoppers remorse so to speak. Now I have always respected this because it warns me when there's a "change" in my spending habits. (Am I spending too much, did I really need that, etc. etc.) - However, having been indoctrinated into a newer "abundant" way of thinking, I ask if this "alarm bell" context is in direct conflict with abundant type beliefs like "Hey, there's more where that came from!". So the real question is, how do I "reconcile". How do I let go and just give and not worry and yet make sure I don't spend so much that I put myself and family in a tight place? Can you explain that in more detail with an example or two?

4. similar to 3d question. I find myself paying more than my share simply because I know I'm better off financially. (yes, I know this as fact, not just assuming) - I feel generous when I'm doing this, and I don't make a big deal out of it, but by "not asking" for gas money, or allowing someone to pay for lunch, am I "blocking" the law of giving and receiving?? Can you explain that in more detail with an example or two?

5. This is one that has, in the past, stumped me often. On one hand, based on the law of attraction, you don't want to spend time thinking about "that which you don't want". However, I've done lots' of soul searching and discovered some things about my character and personality that I wish to "fix" or "transcend". So far simply "intending to be free" of these is all I've come up with. I've also heard simply looking at it, admitting it, and then "letting it go" works. Can you explain that in more detail with an example or two?
