Ok, so the universe is giving me a giant middle finger financially...

[James81]

I won't go into the details too much, but I keep getting denied/rejected for everything I try to do. And I don't understand it. And I want to change it, but I don't know how.

Even something as simple as just now, I tried to use what they call "bonus dollars" for a meal plan that I have through the college (and supposedly with this meal plan, I get 300 bonus dollars to spend as I wish) at a place that accepts those bonus dollars (that is not the college) and I've been denied. But just this past Thursday, I used those bonus dollars to buy a meal and the guy told me I had 294 dollars left.

And it's stupid stuff like that that keeps happening (for example, I tried to sell a couple textbooks back the other day and they told me that they weren't doing buybacks yet).

And then, on the more serious side of things, I was denied for a loan that I was pretty much counting on (to pay my child support with, so I asked if my dad would cosign for it and he said yes. Well, he applied to cosign the loan and it was denied (and he has awesome credit).

So, is there some "woo woo" reason why the universe or God or whatever keeps holding up a gigantic middle finger at me financially and saying "Hey, James, why don't you go **** yourself?" LOL

I am actually getting really tired of this. I'm really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLLY REALLY REALLY ****ing tired of my financial fate being in someone else's hands or at the whim of someone else or the permission of someone else.

So, what do you peeps got for me? (Sorry, btw, because I'm venting just a bit here too in conjunction with asking what the heck I can do to unclog the deng universe. )

Hey James,

I think what God is saying is why don't you go "thank" yourself to your good!

I am actually getting really tired of this. I'm really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLLY REALLY REALLY ****ing tired of my financial fate being in someone else's hands or at the whim of someone else or the permission of someone else.

If I were you I would read my new thread I need suggestions on gratitude/thankfulness/appreciation

Sometimes when we are not grateful and thankful our good dries up. When we start to give thanks for all of the good in our life and all of the good we want to receive - things start flowing again and life gets better!

How many times a day are you repeating that mantra?

Why would you continue thinking thoughts that don't feel good, that never felt good and never will feel good?

Always wrong time wrong place wrong person, eh?:

Everything you focus upon grows. You are noticing all those little things that are not working. So, what the universe is saying to you is something like this: "Since you are focused on things not working, let us find you more opportunities where you can notice things not working. So, you are really mad that you couldn't sell your books. Hey, wait until you apply for a loan, we will arrange the circumstances in a way that will make you really mad!" LOA is working against you. You momentum in the negative direction is picking up with every little annoying thing you are noticing. If you keep doing that for a while, it's most likely that your life will go south on all fronts soon, not only on the money front.

If can't get your focus off reality, then at least stop commenting on it or telling others. That should slow down the negative momentum a bit. And then you have access to a different kind of thoughts and opportunities.

It's not the universe's fault. The universe is at your services, as always, and delivers what you've ordered. The universe doesn't choose for you. You do the choosing and then the universe finds ways via LOA to let it grow. You order with your focus. If you are slightly worried about money, the universe finds ways to increase that feeling step by step until you are frightened about money.

So, it's your sloppy thinking and your not taking serious all those little indicators that are showing you your state of mind along your way.

And I'm not sure if the universe even has a middle finger... might be only a projection of yours, maybe even the whole universe is only a projection of yours???

This was the perfect reply. Thank you.

That really sucks. I'm sorry you are going through those things.

As much as it sucks now, stay focused, and it will be 100x better very, very soon. What Reefs told you is priceless. Just try to stay on track and pretty soon the Universe will be opening financial doors left and right.

The good thing about this experience is that it shows you how it works both ways. Once all the doors open for you; you will still be able to remember what the opposite is like.

Best of luck to you! Happy prospering!

Fixed ideas about how money is going to manifest could be part of your problem. I had some success recently over two things.

1) Funding for college. I applied for various sources of funding and said to myself 'I probably won't get any but even if I don't, something else is going to show up.' I got the best source of funding out of the lot to my utter amazement.

2) Recently I was moving towards destitution in my bank account. I said to myself 'some money will come through soon' and left it at that. Some financial assistance I'd forgotten about came through the next day.

Also, agree with everyone who was talking about the gratitude attitude. You're focusing on what you haven't got rather than what you already have.

Good luck with this, as it's a pain in the ass when money can't be found for... well, love nor money.

Right. And you actually just have to let the sun shine and those snowballs will melt away. But then you probably will be flooded (with manifestations that is!)

So, James, when those manifestations start flooding in and you get overwhelmed with all those yachts and houses and cars and girlfriends and don't know where to park all your private jets, you might come back and ask for some de-manifestation advice.

To get your imagination going, there's a movie called 'Blow'. There's a scene in that movie where the two guys are counting their cash in their apartment. They have to literally go through boxes and boxes full of hundred dollar notes. So to do it quicker, they decide to count a million and then weight it. And so they weigh all the boxes full of cash and then do the math. But they have another problem. The apartment they rented is too small. They don't know where to put all those boxes anymore. Bathroom, cupboards, closets - all full of money already!! Can you image what kind of a nightmare these two guys went through!?! Horrible!!!

From your post it sounds like you are expecting this to happen.
Like you are saying- I know it will never be easy for me, and then - the universe says "yes you are right" and creates that exact reality for you
Plus, try changing your attitude on a deeper level.
Your general approach seems to be one of scarcity.
A person with lots of abundance in their lives doesn't worry about using bonus dollars. Not saying you shouldnt but in general it sounds like your approach is of one who doesnt have enough and must save every penny.

And maybe thats true now but you can start pretending it isnt...
You need to start feeling abundant. Start thinking like someone who has enough.
I enjoy abundance in my life. My wallet is actually so swollen with dollar bills they almost fall out. Often when I get on the subway I take two dollars out n advance, ready to give to the first homeless person who asks. Two dollars isnt much, but it does the trick for me to feel like I have plenty.
I live with the feeling "theres a lot more where that came from". And so it is.
Maybe do little things like fill your wallet with bills. Dont be afraid to give them away. trust the universe to provide.

For instance I would like a relationship to enter my life, and I noticed my house is oriented for a single person.
So I bought 2 night stands, two towels, etc... This is changing my belief that I will always be alone. And making me feel that someone will enter my life any moment now....
Right now, your life is set up to continue your poverty. Fake it till you make it

Why is your financial fate not in your hands?

[C33]

I've been going through a tough phase the past months in that department.

The thing that helps is to come from a place of deserving. You deserve that money, therefore, that money will come to you. You're going to school, taking care of your kids, it's not like you're wasting the money on bad habits.

Also, if you keep in mind that all money that comes to you through loans is not an alm but a business transaction that profits the financial institution/business, etc... ( a win win situation: you get your money, they get their interest), then you will feel on equal footing, not as a victim.

Best of luck and ask the Universe to pat you on the head with all fingers.

I think many of the thoughts are good here. Sometimes it takes "more than an hour of reading positive comments and positive thinking" to stop and reverse a negative thinking juggernaut--sort of the way it takes more than day to get over severely twisted ankle. You'll know it's the juggernaut, if, say for example, you have had negative thoughts every day for last week or two or have a hard time shaking them. If such thinking is persistent then maybe you are ready for a "new plan." You may consider taking time out to read one of the most positive, effective books of all time for "making money" written for people "down on their luck." It might be a useful investment for anybody.

That is, of course, assuming one is an ordinary funk, and your problem is not that you have a court date next week for sentencing and are facing up to 7-years in prison. In this case, there should be a copy in the prison library.

Try reading or (re-reading especially the longer version) the book "Think and Grow Rich." There are two versions. One is 235 pages, and the other is about 260 or 270 pages. The longer version is based on "vibration" and is highly consistent with the Abraham material. The shorter version was edited by the publisher to take out "vibration" because they thought it was too far out in 1937 when the book was published.

These are available as e-books and available as an audio book as well. They are available as p2p torrents. Just make sure you get the longer version if you download an e-book. I don't think you have a choice on the audio book.

The "new plan" is based on this thinking; if you read this book, study it and follow the material then you will effectively block negative thoughts that seemly just "pop up." Secondly, the book will actually give you new, positive ideas to obsess upon, thereby keeping you out of your funk and propelling you into a new adventure--and possibly, even making money.

If anyone has read this book feel free to share your comments and observations about it.

Just from this post alone, it's clear that you're focusing on how you keep getting denied/rejected regarding money. Think of it as a feedback loop. Something happens. It upsets you. You think about it a little. Then another form of it happens. You think about it a little more. Now there's some recognition going for the series of events that have happened, which means odds are you are thinking about it, forming a stronger feeling and idea about it. Something else happens and you believe the universe is chucking you the finger financially.

Want out? Stop noticing all the places where that happens. The only way out of the feedback loop is to short circuit it with something contrary to what is happening. So start noticing places where you have abundance. Start thinking how you have a meal plan at college that covers your meals. How you have books that you can get money from soon. Any little or big thing you can think of that demonstrates that you have money, have abundance, have ANYTHING. Anything will do as long as it isn't debt, lack, you getting stiffed by the universe, having problems, etc.

Sorry you're in this cycle. They really are not fun to be in at all. I hope you can quickly shift the momentum toward abundance.
