Should I give that away too?
I guess I will give the money to my grandparents.

How old are you? Are you still at school? If so I wouldn't worry about these things now. But if you're out of school...
Money is a a way of trading one form of value for another
What value have you got to trade?
Some people here seem to forget that and just think that money is
something you think about and then it appears.
I have enjoyed a few windfalls in my life, true.
But I'm also a hard worker and always have been
I work around 11- 12 hours daily on my art and career. I frarely even take lunch breaks!I've done so for years. Even when I wasn't earning anything this is what I did with full commitment, along with side jobs to get by.
From this point LOA can work, and IM can begin.
Sure i have not earned all my money from my art but I do hold the
belief that since I'm working so hard and have devoted my life to
making something i believe as of value I deserve to live well and not
worry financially. But no one can say I don't work hard.
most people ive seen that have a lot of money are bloody hard workers
too. So is Steve btw he is100% commited to what he does.
Think and grow rich- yes, but there is doing involved too.

What if you need money... and feel completely neutral?? or maybe indifferent?

That's how I feel now, detached yet at the same time there are upcoming events that I require cash flow... stuff like groceries and utilities that I actually need.
Yesterday, I asked for a $1000 cheque to be received by Friday. I kinda felt good while writing my intention, now I don't feel much yet it's on my mind a lot. I think about buying delicious groceries and stuff for my pets.

Also, I give small change to pet charities, been doing this for months because I really want to, not because I should.

Okay. I'll share a technique I use with a fair degree of success, so far. The purpose of this is to change YOU. More and more, I see that the ONLY thing that prevents us from experiencing all manner of abundance (and not just money, but anything you could want in abundance) is that we have blocks and filters that prevent it. If you can alter the filters, you allow more of whatever it is into your life.

There is no actual power in ritual or objects. The purpose of the ritual is to change the way you feel, think, believe, etc., and focus your intention.

When I get money (actual physical money), I take it in my hands and thank it for coming to me, tell it I appreciate it, etc. I then ask it to go out into the world and bring more of its kind into my life/experience, specifically mentioning that it should bring a return of itself tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, a millionfold.

Sometimes I anoint the money with scented oil (I'm into aromatherapy, so I mix my own blends, but if you want to do this, you can just use a bit of any common vegetable oil, and I do mean only a BIT, because it can get messy!)

Then put the money back in your wallet, and when you spend it, you should deliberately try to feel gratitude for it, and spend it with the expectation that more is on its way.

The point of the ritual is that by openly and directly appreciating the money you DO have, you start to break down any blocks and negative beliefs about receiving money, or break down any negative thoughts about spending, or who knows what sort of beliefs you have hanging around in your subconscious self. The practice of gratitude-in-spending is also good for healing money issues.

I'm still working with this ritual, but I've definitely seen that it makes a difference, so much so that I also anointed my credit card and my debit card, and when I use either one of them, I practice gratitude that I'm able to do that.

(Yeah, I know to some people, it sounds like a weird ritual, but once you understand that it's about YOU, and not the actual physical money, it makes more sense. )

The true is that most peoples that use loa dont believe that is possible manifest money(with some honorable exception), they talk about inspired action to hide it, i think that manifesting without action is too much to American's taste!

Sure they believe in small quantity money(one funny contradiction per se) , someone "give me 100 bucks" "my boyfriend give me a a gem" but , believe, believe that is possible manifest huge money, no!

Is the couch syndrome, "what? if you think that becoming sitting in a couch you will manifest it, you're wrong"

They read abou a bunch of strange things, they see a bunch of strange things (like bills disapearing) but yet when the subject is money they dont believe!

Its funny, because if one have to do inspired action, to have money, so they dont need read about Loa, neither believe in Loa, just do what you have to do, study, work a bi,t be positive about(no need be super positive, just a bit ) and that's it!

When i go out and see a bunch of park space, i do nothing(i mean, my actions is driving my car, its action in the end no?) and voilá, the parking space is there..and sometimes i have doubts if there space will be there!

If you talk it, they will believe, but talk about money "nope" only with action!

Here a story without action(is not with money)

A teen girl want a boyfried(like princes in movies), but the parents keep the girls in house, she dont could go out because that!

She then, dream about a beautiful guy, she dont know nothing about Loa, so, she think about it, she daydream, one day the phone call, its a guy calling the wrong number, they talk, they like talk with the other, the guy go the girl house, and become her boyfriend!

The girl dont did nothing, she only think about it, what action she can do when your parents keep her imprisioned in house?(i dont know why she dont use the net, so dont ask me)


Maybe it works because she dont use a couch i dont know

Maybe somenoe could open a thread "stories stranges whres Loa works without ocidental ways"

Most everything else besides money people can consider with a detached perspective (this goes for rich people as well). When your survival isn't at stake you can "play" with LOA.

But when you're struggling financially it's hard to step outside of yourself and get perspective. Which is kind of sad because the inability to do that is what keeps one financially struggling.

It actually would be pretty funny though if LOA worked for everything else EXCEPT money.

But even some LOA "pros" say this. They say money will only come to you if you are service to others and if you provide value. It's a very ancient, religious way of looking at things and I don't see why money should be treated differently from anything else.

It's our puritan work ethic. We only value ourselves when we're working hard. Anything else makes us feel like we aren't deserving, so we'll find ways to sabotage our success. Then when sabotaged we can say "it's not working!", and thus avoid feeling that guilt that comes from getting abundance from not working hard.

Haha with me its not like that at all.
I am not attached to money. Maybe thats why I easily manifest it.
In fact money is the easiest thing for me to manifest.
Loving relationships are the hardest for me- that is the thing I am so attached to. That is what I feel I cannot live without . That is the area where I cannot find a detached perspective. And thats the only area in my life that I feel I still havent found what Im looking for,

In fact I live so much in my dream world that I am happiest sleeping under the stars. Money has always come "out of the blue" for me when I needed it most.
3 years ago I was broke, someone asked me what would you do if you had a lots of money-? I said I would be doing exactly what Im doing now, which was doing my art everyday.
Now 3 years later I have plenty of money, and I am doing the exact same thing. Making my art everyday. (I still apply for grants and get people to invest in my work). In fact I am living the same exact lifestyle that I did when I was broke. The only difference is I buy more expensive clothes

I remember once when I was 18 I went to Paris and decided to see if I can live without spending a single cent. I slept in a sleeping bag on the sidewalks and under the eifel tower. I shared food with people I met. Money was the last thing on my mind, yet I was totally happy. I gave all my savings away to charity once, knowing that I will be ok.
Thats why I keep saying- if you want money - give some away- Thats a way of forming that detachment

^^ This I agree with

This is what I want. Hard to be detached from it because I'm always thinking about living this lifestyle. I know it's already forming though.

Start living it . Realize that you are fine with whatever little you have. And from that place its easier to manifest more. Desire is a good thing to have though. Desire yet be satisfied.

Man, this is what I should do with committed relationships. I am fine without them, but it always creeps in my mind that Im not really fine at all without them, which is a lie because I really am. hmm

I'm 25 years old, I have a college degree from a pretty good university. The problem is that I've never had a real job. I've always been taking classes and stuff. My parents always paid for everything and my capability of making money is just getting weaker and weaker.

And because of this I've attracted many pitfalls in my Life. The jobs I've held are nothing constant. I've even had 2 companies scam me, and use me without paying me a cent. They would not sponsor my working visa and it's just getting painful at this point.

I do work hard as well, but...right now I don't really know where to begin.

[HoneyHeart]

I've been imagining myself living in beautiful expensive surroundings... Myself in a gorgeous expensive dress to just sit around in on a luxurious sofa, with my hair styled perfectly and my feet in expensive pumps... And I walked to my bathroom across the beautiful marble tiles and the toilet had a gold, elegantly designed flusher handle, and beautiful fresh flowers are displayed in a beautiful vase, and there's a luxurious selection of floral soaps and the shower has a beautiful glass door decorated with elegant designs and....... I got so involved in this visualization and I started to feel good and feel as if I really am rich and can afford luxurious things.. ..... fun

Wow. Thanks for that reminder. I knew this, and I have worked on my own very ingrained "work hard and fortune will favour you" attitudes for a while, but this was a sharp, clear refresher. Thank you, part-of-me.

[JeffistheAnswer]

So is it agreed that detachment from what you want to manifest ironically makes that thing come easier?

Yup - resistance is necessary .
what you resist persists

First decide what your dream is- what you really really want to do.
It can change, but what is your dream now?
Then start working towards that. If you need to get a side job do that, but dont forget what your dream is. And invest your time and energy into that. Once its rolling a little bit start using IM

Wait... resistance isn't the same as detachment.

Anything I want I already have right now.

”When you say ‘I am a millionaire now’ and the physical evidence around you does not show that, this does not mean that you are lying to yourself. Indeed, the moment of Now holds all existence in all possibilities, all at one time, including you being wealthy. That statement is true, it is the eyes that lie. Einstein once said that no matter how persistent the illusion of time may be, the illusion of past, present and future, it is still an illusion.”

In a way it is. Its about resisting what you desire and letting it go. thats a way of letting it stay.
Example, imagine you have sand in your hand, if you tighten your fist (attachment) all the sand will fall out, if u keep you hand open (detach), it will stay there.
Same goes with thoughts. If you have a state of being of constant neediness, you will most likely stay in that state. If you let go of whatever it is you think you need, You are more likely to attract it.

To me this sound like you are too much in your mind .....

I get what you mean. I think it's just your definition of resistance that confuses me.

To me, resisting something is like, "I don't want it I don't want it.

Detachment is like, "I'm happy where I am, therefore I don't care all that much if I get it or not. It would be nice though."

[danas]

Detachment is a form of resistance
in both your definitions you are saying I don't need it

I have total freedom in my mind, I can create whatever I want with it.

I'm just following the advice that people have given in this thread. It does not mean I daydream all day long and don't work hard. I'm becoming more and more efficient as well.

[shasah]

The word daydreaming lacks intent IMO. Manifestation is not just daydreaming but intending with a purpose. I can daydream all day long without getting a thing out of it but if I meditate upon a purpose and consciously intend to have it, then I will get it. Make sense?

Yes! This is exactly the same for me as well.

The only thing to measure that by is- Does it work for you? Or is it just a philosophy?

[pyrogen]

I manifested some today. It was from an expected source, but it had a 50/50 chance of not going through. I did a process in deep alpha, mocked up a visualization for money in my garden and then worked with the symbol for money that my ku (subconscious) presented me with... in this case, I found a watering can in my hand and started watering a seedling which grew into a large fruiting tree.

I use alpha/Gnosis states because that's the best way to get past all of my "stinkin' thinkin" and feelings of negativity/resistance. If I try to approach the problem in a "normal" mind state, I tend to get "normal" results.

[Cochonette]

The funny thing about "manifesting" money is that everyone who does it actually does a lot more than "believe" it will happen - like the things that actually make it happen.

You need both IM and doing.
In my line of work (art) there are many people who work very hard and still are completely broke.
Only today a close friend, who is super hard working, at least much as me, asked to borrow money b/c she doesnt have enough to get by till the end of the month.

I talk about the hard work phenomenon in my blog.

Hard work is the biggest cop out - you can always say you just didn't work hard enough and you will be congratulated for giving it the old college try.

Because most everyday people's social networks are set up to support their failure and not their success (even "professionals" are just failing at a higher income level - think about it), you can always ***** to your buddy at the bar that you just didn't work hard enough, and everyone will love you for it. And if you ARE one of the tiny minority who actually become a raging success via the Very Hard Work model, then you'll be an inspiration. But most people fail to some degree or another at the Very Hard Work model, because the Very Hard Work model is set up to bolster your failure, not your success.

It's a vicious circle, a snake that eats its own tail, like an ourobouros.

If your friends described themselves as PLAYING at their art, they wouldn't exactly be failures, would they? Except it takes a certain amount of courage to break with Society and say you are playing, while living at a fairly low level.

But the really big successes don't actually seem to work that hard. They find ways to streamline their processes and optimize their time rather than spend eight to twelve hours of doing fruitless, repetitive headbanging.

When I was doing software testing, there were two types of testing... white box (program the scripts that do the testing, get the machines to do the work) and black box (manual testing). The black box testers spent ten hours a day just doing different combinations of keystrokes and the like, trying to get software to break.

The Very Hard Work method of life is Black Box.

People who streamline their lives? That's White Box.

Most people don't have a clue about this.

A small amount of energy expenditure (and getting as many other people as possible to do much of the work for you, as you possibly can) actually calibrated to the right target, will always yield better results than someone creating 1,000 works of art, resumes/job applications, or first dates.

A successful art business I'm aware of... re-uses the same ten or so designs for all of their products, and has other entities reproduce their designs onto various products. That's branding. They AREN'T black boxing their art industry; they're white boxing it. The founding artist spends most of her time travelling and painting for herself.

I think that in some cases, the belief preceded the action.

The person believed it would happen, then they were open to solutions they may not have otherwise come up with.
