Que Sera, Sera - what will be , will be.

[kapootala]

I want money.
I can work for it.
I can rob for it.
I can pray for it.
I can visualize it.
I can inherit it.
I ca, I can I can......

Which of these inferences are the best to acknowledge.
And what are the pre requisites that follow.

They say you have to be what you want.
And then you can have it.
You have to feel the prosperity of $ 100,000 equivalent to the request.

Any definite idea on how to fake it till you make it.
How to lie to your inner being and strike home.
How to practice this feeling to match the requirement of the money I am wanting of more than what I have.
Or is it que sera , sera....what will be will be.

[Matthew Cluff]

The whole "what will be will be" principle you suggest only comes into effect when an individual doesn't realize their true capacity for the control that they have over their life and their results.

Your current results and belief systems come from your subconscious mind, which has been ingrained with certain programming (or "paradigms") throughout the years - ever since you were a baby.

Now the programming you have dictates your results because it causes you to take the same actions which will promote stagnant results, and it also puts your body's energy into a certain level of vibration which will only cause you to attract more of the same results (those that you are in emotional harmony with).

So we have to change this subconscious programming and the way to do this is by repeatedly feeding certain desirable information to it.

You see, the subconscious mind:

• Must Accept Everything The Conscious Mind Feeds It
• Cannot Reject Any Bits Of Information That It's Fed
• Cannot Tell The Difference Between What's Real And What's Imagined

Now, the trick is to effectively use your conscious mind as a filter to choose to have thoughts and take positive actions to help promote the right belief systems, so that ultimately the subconscious programming will change which will, in turn, cause your results to change, too!

The conscious mind:

• Choose Thoughts
• Accept/Reject Thoughts
• Originate Thoughts

So, ultimately, by thinking the right thoughts and taking the right actions, we can change our subconscious programming (through consistent repetition), even if we don't believe what we're feeding it at the start.

Here are 5 things you can start doing today to help ultimately build up the right subconscious belief systems:

1) Act As If: This is a principle which states that you must act as if you are already living the lifestyle that you desire and have achieved the results you want. By acting as if you’ve already reached your goals and desired lifestyle, you naturally move onto a new vibration (away from those which your present results may dictate) and this new vibration will attract those events, circumstances, and material possessions into your life which will help make your “pretending” become a reality. Just ask yourself, "How would someone living the way I want be living be using their time and what thoughts/actions would they have/take?" Then emulate their behavior.

2) Visualize: By visualizing your idealistic lifestyle on a regular basis, you reinforce certain paradigms and pieces of programming into your subconscious mind which will help you think positive thoughts and take certain actions which will help propel you forward to achieve the end results you want. You see, whether you imagine something's real, or think that it's real, or experience something that actually is real, to your subconscious mind, it won't be able to tell the difference between what's real and what's imagined (because the information you feed it will always be coming from the conscious mind, and it must accept this information. Be sure that when you visualize, you do so with a deep emotional connection.

3) Write A Goal Card: I want to suggest that you write out a short statement on a goal card (regarding something you want to achieve) and carry it around with you in your pocket all day long. Start out your statement/goal with “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and then write out what you want in the present tense. Every time you touch that goal card in your pocket throughout the day, your thoughts will shift to those reflecting the attainment of your goal, your emotional state will have a positive shift, and you will move onto a more desirable level of vibration which will help you ultimately achieve your goal.

4) Use Affirmations: This has the same sort of idea as a goal card. An affirmation is a short, powerful statement in the present tense that declares something to be true (even if it isn't). I recommend putting your affirmations in the present-tense (as if you've already achieved what you want). The more you read your affirmations, say your affirmations, think of your affirmations, or write out your affirmations, the more this information will sink into your subconscious mind, causing you to feel great and attract the desirable lifestyle and results you want into your life even sooner.

5) Emotionalize With The Feeling Of What You Want Already Having Come True: Humans are emotional beings and our bodies are made up entirely of energy. When you can manipulate your body's energy and be in complete control of how you feel at any given time, then you have become the master of your mind and of yourself. In our universe, "like attracts like" which means if your body's energy is vibrating in a vibration that conducive to having an abundance of wealth and prosperity, then as long as this feeling is kept up and correct action is taken, you'll attract the according positive instances into your life (eg. in this case, the results you want). It's the subconscious mind that dictates your emotions, though, so be sure to think more often about what you want (and the feeling of already having it) and not about what you already have. (However, I do recommend you always express gratitude for your current results to keep your emotional state at a positive, desired level.)

Hope this helps!

I am in the process of appreciating the very lucid explanation given.
And putting all that is given to use.
Have you had any persoanl experiences with LOA and the Abraham Chronicles......where you can't get to where you want to be by being unhappy with what already is.
Can you elucidate on that please.....

[Matthew Cluff]

While I haven't before heard of the Abraham Chronicles, I definitely have heard of the Law of Attraction, and have used it in many various instances to get desired results at certain points in time.

I don't think it's a matter of being unhappy with what already is. I think it's more a matter of where your dominant focus is:

• Is your focus on your current undesirable results and on how bad your current results make you feel?
• Is your focus on the future and on finding ways to bridge the gap from where you are now to where you want to get to and on focusing on the feeling of what it would feel like to already have accomplished your goals?

================================================== =======================
Bob Proctor one time pointed out a distinct difference between "Happiness" and "Satisfaction"...

1. Happiness

Happiness is an emotional state we should aim to be in all the time.

It is the epitome of the experience of life, and regardless of one's results - good or bad - by virtue of our thoughts and the images we choose to hold in our mind, we can control our body's level of vibration and subsequently our emotional state.

As you know, whatever you're in emotional resonance with you attract, so if you want to attract positive things into your life that you want, you must be in a positive emotional state the vast majority of the time.

2. Satisfaction

Satisfaction is a state that is different from happiness, because having a lack of satisfaction means that there's always room for improvement. You can always do better and achieve greater results than those that you're currently getting.

If someone was earning $1 billion/year, by gosh - they should be overjoyed and extremely happy with those results, but they should not be satisfied with them.

Being satisfied means that you're settling for your current results. And usually when you settle, typically negative or "indifferent" emotions will dominate your mind the majority of the time, which is something that I don't think anyone truly wants.

Happiness, on the other hand, naturally follows the constant evolution and improvement of your results almost all of the time, so it's important to always focus on the future and what you want to achieve while being happy about your current results.
================================================== =======================

At the same time as all of this, it's important to express gratitude for having achieved those experiences/results that we have not yet truly manifested in reality. Doing this is the highest form of faith, and will help make what you want, ultimately, a part of your life. So to sum all of this up:

• Focus on the good.
• While you do this, simply create an awareness for the areas in your life that you want/need to improve, but do not emotionalize with the negative feeling of "where you are now" for these areas.
• Be happy with your current results.
• Never be satisfied with your results and always aim for improvement.
• Express gratitude toward already having achieved the goals you're working toward.

I hope that answers your question. Please let me know if I can help you out any further :)

How do youstay in the Vortex.
Can you be hypnotized into the Vortex.
Please do explain this Vortex phenomenon which is doing the rounds in the LOA circles.

[Matthew Cluff]

I've never heard of "the Vortex" before in regards to the Law of Attraction, but I have heard of "the ether" and "Source Energy"/"The Universe" and I do believe that these are all essentially the same.

Here's an article I found from Google that may be able to help you out:
The "Law of Attraction Secrets" Key? ...The Vortex!

Below, you can find my answers (in regular font) to your questions:

What is the Vortex in LOA?
The vortex, by my understanding, is all energy. It's the universe as a whole and all the people and objects in between.

Everything that's physical is made of energy. Our body's energy is vibrating all the time. It's science. And because everything vibrates, this is where the LoA comes into play:

When we can get into vibrational resonance with what we want and attract such material possessions/experiences into our lives, we've entered the vortex. The vortex is the space we get in to attract only positive things into our lives. Therefore, when you're in a positive vibration (or happy emotional state), you've entered the vortex.

It is also the place that we can draw upon for inspiration and ideas. Anything's possible in the ether, and when we can "tap into it," we can access quite a range of thoughts/ideas/possibilities.

How is it to be recognized?
When you're feeling good, you're in the vortex. When you're having good thoughts, you're in the vortex.

It does not consist of a feeling of indifference or unhappiness. When you're in a good emotional state, you'll attract positive things into your life, so you'll also be able to notice that you're in the vortex when your getting positive results and things that you want happening.

Is one born with it or does one cultivate it?
One's born with the ability to get into the vortex but not everyone jumps on this opportunity. The great thing about humans is that we have a conscious mind and 6 higher mental faculties we can use to control our emotions get the results we want.

So if you consciously choose to think positive thoughts, you'll get into a positive emotional state and before long, you'll enter the vortex.

What is it used for?

• Getting what you want
• Getting into resonance with what you want
• Naturally attracting the desires into your life
• Finding solutions to your problems
• Coming up with ideas

Getting what we want

Do we get the vortex by default?
Yes. Because we're human beings and live in bodies made up of energy, we have the ability to enter the vortex by default / at our own will.

Is the vortex is a good feeling place?
Yes - exactly! When you put yourself into a positive vibration, you'll attract positive things into your life. That's what the vortex is all about! Control your thoughts, decisions, actions and results, and you'll control when you enter the vortex.

If a man is in trouble... health, wealth happiness wise they say you must get into the Vortex because that is the place where only good things happen.
Technically, yes. When you're in a negative emotional state, you're outside of the vortex, completely shut off from it until you turn your thoughts around, and will only attract/receive negative instances and results in your life.

Good things do happen in the vortex, and to get there, you have to think positive thoughts and focus on the feeling of already having achieved all that you desire.

Can bad things also happen in the Vortex?
From my understanding, no. The vortex is only positive. Sure, you can attract negative things outside of the vortex due to the natural laws of the universe - the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction - but the vortex is where we draw from for inspiration, ideas, guidance, and the ultimate manifestation of our desires.

How do you stay in the Vortex?

• Keeping your thoughts positive.
• Keeping your emotions positive.
• Focusing on the feeling of having already achieved what you want.

Ultimately, as long as you're in a positive emotional vibration, you're in the vortex, and to stay there, simply find ways to stay in that positive state. Usually this can be accomplished solely by the thoughts you have.

Can you be hypnotized into the Vortex?
Potentially. Humans are naturally positive beings, and when we can clear and get past the negative programming in our subconscious mind that we've been subjected to, then not only are we in the vortex, but at that point, I supposed you can also be hypnotized into such a place/state.

Hypnotism takes you to a level below consciousness - where you have no conscious control over how you feel. The subconscious mind is also considered the emotional mind, so if someone can put you into a positive emotional state below consciousness and influence your body's level of vibration in a positive way, then you have entered the vortex.

Hope this helps!

Good Morning Matthew -
I am thoroughly impressed with your understanding of the LOA platform.
I am seriously making notes of what you have emailed me and it all makes very good sense.
I trust you for the replys you will send to me on this forum in the future and can envisage the benefits accruing to those who are searching on what this new world subject is - when thoughts becomes things.....
Thank you for being there.

[kapootala]

Post for Matthew Cuff of CA

Your views are impressive and lucid for assimilation.

I am beginning to understand the principles of the LOA and feel enthused everytime I read something that I can use. It sends the adrenalin up and the reason for action.

However I would appreciate your take on a request from a family friend who speaks another language.

It is necessary for him to know that if he is asking for $ 100,000 to come to him does he see the handing over of the cheque or the money picture in his visualisation exercises which he does twice a day (How many times should he do these excercises) and accept it with the feelings and emotions you speak about and get into the feeling as if it was already there or does he see the things/items he will be able to resolve with the money he acquires.
What/which is the best excercise according to your study suitable for this kind of a person to enable fruition asap or as the Universe decides. (does the universe really decide or is the result oriented by ones self in tandem with the Universe)

A very candid reply will be appreciated.

[Matthew Cluff]

Before even getting to the request for this matter regarding the Law of Attraction and Visualization, here's a few things I've learned about money how to eliminate debt, earn more money, and become financially free:

Have Thoughts That Will Put You In Harmony With Earning More Money

Humans are naturally creative beings. We've created the entire world as we know it today with skyscrapers, roads, and transportation because we first conceived such a place and make that vision a reality. For any goal; for any endeavor, you must first see what you want with your mind's eye, and then work towards the attainment of it through taking proper action and putting your body's level of vibration at a desired level to help us attract the things we want my means of the Laws of Vibration and Attraction.

What humans choose to create will either be a stepping stone or a stumbling block for them in the path to their success. And before physical creation, creation is made in the mind, and this creation is done by means of our thoughts and what we choose to think.

Many people rely on outer circumstances to dictate their thoughts and emotions; it's simply what they "perceive" to is happening in reality, though.

One's perception can easily be altered to always look at things in a positive light, but the things that ultimately dictates their results (without any perception) in the first place is their thoughts.

So instead of always looking at your present results and saying things like, "I don't have enough money to afford this," and "I can't have this experience because it's too expensive," you have to eliminate the doubts of poverty and having a lack of wealth altogether and replace them with thoughts of prosperity and abundance. (And I'm not talking about perception; I'm talking about your thoughts and the results they're constantly attracting into your life.) It's absolutely imperative for you to change your thoughts first in order to raise your level of income.

Eliminate Debt

First, you must consolidate the debt you have. If you have multiple credit cards, get all of the debt onto one card.

Once you've consolidated your debt to once source, then it's time to setup an automatic debt-repayment program so that, come a certain time in the future, your debt will be gone and you won't have even had to think about it in order to get out of debt and "into the green."

You see, when people are in debt, they're probably thinking, "How can I get out of debt?" Well, the truth is that regardless of whether they're thinking how to get in or get out, they're still thinking about debt! And this will only cause them to attract more debt into their lives and stay in debt even longer.

So by consolidating debt and getting on an automatic debt-repayment program, you won't have to spend all of your conscious thought and debt you may have (even if it's there in reality), simply because you've setup an automatic system that will help you move into times of financial prosperity. And because of this, you can choose to turn your thoughts over to thinking of "How can I earn more money?" instead of keeping on having the negative thoughts like "How can I get out of debt?"

Law of Compensation

The Law of Compensation states that the amount you earn is in direct ratio to:

1. The need for what you do.
2. Your ability to do it.
3. The difficulty there would be in replacing you.

Points 1 and 3 are (in most cases) taken care of if you take care of (2) Your ability to do it.

If you become exceptional at what you do, you're going to get paid and compensated accordingly. In most cases, the best sports players have the highest salaries; the most valuable members of a company are the people who end up being paid and compensated the most.

To get to this level, you have to get better at what you're good at! For example:

• Acquire more specialized knowledge.
• Develop a greater skill set.
• Improve the skills you already have.
• Extend the service that you provide far beyond the presence of your own physical being.

Do whatever's required to improve the value of what you do and the service you provide, and in the vast majority of cases, you will be compensated accordingly.

Multiple Sources Of Passive Income Streams

Most people don't understand the best ways to earn money.

Most people think they should go to work to earn money. That is the worst way of earning money. People should go to work for satisfaction; to enjoy their days and to enjoy what they do!

The great thing about passive income streams is that you can earn so much money when you're asleep that you can do whatever you want when you're awake! Examples of multiple passive income streams include:

• Creating online or physical products which package and provide the specialized information you have in a certain area to others.
• Setting up affiliate review websites (eg. reviewing products in a certain niche and earning affiliate commissions each time someone buys that product through your affiliate link).
• Having a mailing list targeted in your area of expertise and teaching others in a monthly newsletter (eg. $10/month) of insightful new tips they could use to improve their lives in that certain targeted area. (eg. If you get 20 people on board for this, that's 20 x $10 = $200 extra income EVERY MONTH!)
• Renting out real estate (which provides you with a recurring passive monthly income).
• Start your own business (online or offline), even if it's "on the side." Hire others to do the majority of the work for you, set up systems for them to follow to do certain tasks, and you reap the major benefits of it all!

The list can go on and on, and as a creative human being, think of a variety of ways that you can earn money from multiple and/or passive income streams. If you setup 5 extra cash streams that provide you with $200/mo, that's an extra $1000 every month that you wouldn't otherwise have!

A passive source of income that I have is "101 Success Tips" (what I currently have in my signature below each post). I did the work to create it once, but I'll reap the benefits for many years to come!

The Formula For Wealth

Andrew Carnegie once gave Napoleon Hill the formula for making a fortune:

"The accumulation of great wealth calls of power. Power is acquired through highly organized and intelligently directed specialized knowledge. But the person who accumulates the fortune doesn't have to have the knowledge."

Let's break that down:

• Highly organized and intelligently directed means that there's a clear purpose to what people are doing.

• Specialized Knowledge is much different from Generalized Knowledge. I often think that generalized knowledge is what people learn in grade schools, middle schools, and high schools; everyone (or most people know) generalized knowledge. What makes you valuable is having specialized knowledge and using this to help others directly or do what you do even better.

• You don't have to be the one with the specialized knowledge. It's much easier to utilize the knowledge and resources of others in earning money and making a fortune than to learn all the knowledge/skills yourself, develop them, and then use them in only so many hours in a day. When you bring other/more individuals on board, not only do you multiple the number of man-hours in the day, but you also increase the specialized knowledge that is required to make a fortune and increase your value. And as long as its highly organized and intelligently directed (and surrounding a clear purpose), you don't have to be the one with all the knowledge and necessary skills!

Money Is An Idea

Most people think that dollar bills are money. Or that credit cards or money. But really, neither or those are money. They may represent money, but they themselves are not money.

Money is an idea, and it is attracted to the consciousness that attracts it. When you have thoughts and ideas of prosperity and abundance, then money will flow to you with such ease that you wouldn't conceive it at first to be possible!

Find ways to get your mind and body's energy into resonance with the idea of earning/attracting more money, start taking appropriate action that is in alignment with your vision, and prepare to be amazed at the possibilities that lay before you regarding money and how much money you ultimately do have the ability to earn.

[Matthew Cluff]

Don't Work; Provide Service

We already covered that working is the worst way to earn money. To elaborate on that point even more, and now that we understand that specialized knowledge does not necessarily have to be possession of the individual accumulating the fortune, you must realize that you don't have to be the one doing the work to earn money; provide a service and reap the benefits from that.

Use money to help extend the service you provide far beyond the scope of your own physical presence. You can be "the idea guy" or "the guy who organizes events and what goes on," but that does not mean that you have to be the one working and providing the service yourself all the time, nor does it mean that you can't be the one who benefits from others' work the most.

Boiled down, upon analyzing it, money is used for two things:

1. To make you comfortable.
2. To help you extend the good that you provide far beyond the sole physical presence of yourself.

We know that there's a Law of Cause and Effect and we know what certain activities we can do to earn money. If we get other people on board with us, then we don't always have to be the one who does that work to earn money; even greater, we can still benefit the most from all of this.

Money Circulates

The more and more I've thought about this concept, the more I've finally come to understand it.

Money is something that simply goes from one person to another. Usually it is surrendered when services are products are bought, but at the end of the day, all money is is something that goes from one person to another.

If you increase the value of what you do and become exceptional, because money is something that circulates and goes around to everyone, you can have much more money circulating to you in the future (when this happens) than in comparison to the amount of money you have circulating to you now.

The Science Of Getting Rich

This is an amazing, short book by Wallace D. Wattles, which describes the underlying principles behind The Science of Getting Rich.

To get it for free under Private Label Rights (PLR), just search Google for "Free The Science of Getting Rich".

I recommend having a read through this entire book to understand the fundamental concepts behind the art of getting rich (and you may have to read it a few times to fully understand it and how it's worded).

Once you've done that, commit to reading Chapters 4, 7, and 14 for 90 days! The results you'll get in the end and the benefits this will provide you with will be well worth the initial effort and putting in of 90 days of your time.

Think And Grow Rich

Andrew Carnegie, who was at one point the wealthiest man in the world, commissioned Napoleon Hill to interview hundreds of the world's wealthiest people and come up with the key principles behind what causes certain people to make it wealthy while others dwindle into times of poverty and despair.

The amazing thing about both of these books is that they point out and discuss changes you can make to yourself today and certain techniques that you can apply into your life that will assist you in the earning of money far beyond that which you can conceive now.

You can also find this book for free under PLR by searching "Free Think And Grow Rich".

================================================== ================================

So let's now look at a few things I noticed from the "profile" statements you gave.

You said he drives an old car and wishes he could buy a new one.

You must understand that there is a great different between wishing for something and being ready to receive it!

You also said he made a decision to buy the car but can't as of now because of his current financial circumstances. Well, I wouldn't consider that as honoring/fulfilling a decision that one made.

The major problem with most people nowadays is that they throw around the term "decision" loosely. They say they'll do something, but often, soon after they make the original decision, they decide against it and abolish their initial decision completely. Develop self-confidence and your self-esteem by making decisions quickly and then following through with them and honoring them.

So, for your friend, because he wants to buy the new car have him...

• Set a goal in the present tense (starting with "I am so happy and grateful now that..." and then list the goal).
• List the date he plans to buy it on and have enough money to confidently and securely buy it.
• Clearly list out the actions steps he must take to earn more money (enough money to buy the car) by the date he set.

It's not necessarily imperative that you save money to be wealthy. To become financially free, all you have to do is have more money coming in than the amount of money going out. And you don't even necessarily have to work to earn this money to become financially free, meaning that technically, you could retire with no savings and still be financially free! How?

Well, remember how we talked about having multiple sources of passive income? You put in the work once in creating something and you package it into some sort of service or product which no longer requires your physical presence anymore, and you Now, I wouldn't recommend retiring with no savings by any means, but in order to accumulate savings, you have to:

1. Designate money you earn to be untouchable in a Savings Account and therefore bring in more money than you spend (eg. with the difference going into savings) in order to do this.
2. Automate the process by having multiple sources of passive income.

[Matthew Cluff]

================================================== ================================

I'll now answer the questions from the request you gave:

If he is asking for $ 100,000 to come to him, should he see the handing over of the check or the money in his visualization exercises?

He can visualize himself receiving the money, spending the money, experience the lifestyle full of the money he wants. It doesn't matter what he visualizes; the primary focus that he wants to have in doing this exercise comes in mimicking the right emotional state of how it would feel for him to have $100,000!

How many times should he do these visualization exercises?

As often as it takes. Remember, his subconscious programming is dictating his current results, and it's this programming that he has to change in order to have any chance of receiving the $100,000. That being said, his current programming has taken a lifetime, to build, to be ingrained, and to be reinforced, so drastic measures are likely going to have to be taken in order to start making the new, more desirable paradigms become dominant in his subconscious mind.

Here's what I recommend:

• He should write out his #1 goal in the present tense (or an affirmation) 50-100x/day. (eg. I am so happy and grateful now that I have $100,000 by <insert date>.)
• He should create an MP3 audio recording with his voice where he speaks his affirmations in the present-tense and listen to it as often as possible (even on an extremely low volume) throughout the day.
• He should take 5-10 minutes 2x/day (eg. I'd suggest first thing in the morning and last thing before bed) to visualize his desires coming true and really feeling what it would be like to achieve his goal.
• He should have his #1 goal written on a "goal card" that he carries with him throughout the day (eg. in his pocket). Then, every time he touches it or pulls it out to read, he'll put himself in the right emotional state to attract his desire into his life. I'd suggest taking it out and reading his "#1 goal statement" aloud at least 10x/day.

I would suggest keeping up this routine for at least 90 days to correct develop and strengthen the desirable paradigms in the subconscious.

Remember: CONTINUOUS REPETITION IS KEY!

Should he accept it with the feelings and emotions you speak about and get into the feeling as if it was already there or does he see the things/items he will be able to resolve with the money he acquires?

I'd definitely recommend getting into the feeling reflecting what it would be like if it was already a part of his life.

For the second part of that question, it really depends. If negative emotions creep into his mind in any way when he's visualizing a scenario where he's been able to resolve his problems, then I wouldn't do it, simply because it's putting his body's energy into a negative level of vibration, causing him to attract negative instances into his life -- definitely not those which he wants to have. If positivity fills his entire being, however, when he thinks of the "relief" there is in his problems being alleviated, then this would be fine.

Really, all he needs to focus on is thinking thoughts, experiencing emotions, and taking actions that will help manifest his goal(s). Eliminate everything else, especially those negative things which would only hinder progress and results.

What/which is the best exercise according to your study suitable for this kind of a person to enable fruition asap or as the Universe decides? (Does the universe really decide or is the result oriented by ones self in tandem with the Universe).

The person is the one who decides what they want. They may have talents and abilities in certain areas which they should persue, but ultimately, the individual is the creator of his or her destiny. The universe is simply used as a means to help individuals attract and manifest whatever they are in emotional resonance with (good or bad), but the individual is ultimately the one who has the ability to choose their results. (A pre-determined/set-course for life is non-existent because of this power of choice that humans possess.

What exercise would I recommend to someone to achieve their desires? Well, there is no "best exercise." Different exercises work for different people, so find out what works for you and then do it until your desires become a part of your reality. Persistence is key and it's imperative that you don't give up.

1. Get clear on what you want.
2. List out the reasons WHY you want it.
3. List the action steps you currently know of that will help you progress forward toward your goal. (You don't have to know all the steps required. Just take the first step in faith, and eventually the next step will reveal itself to you.)
4. Get into RESONANCE with your desires. (The Law of Attraction really becomes powerful when we naturally vibrate practically all the time at the level of vibration that's conducive to us having/receiving our desires). Do whatever's required to stay in the right emotional state at first until it becomes a habit (in other words, until you naturally vibrate in harmony with your desires).

Hi,
Another appreciation note for you on your relationship with LOA and the modalities of the subnject.
Thank you for interacting with these requests for more knowledge on the

Hi,
I believe I am benefitting from this interaction.
Need some explanation on certain terms and statements made on LOA and the Vortex.
What is vibrationl resonance - a term often quoted with a lot of importance
given to being with it and in it.....as in the Votex issue.
Oftentimes getting into a happy feeling or feeling good about something which may not be connected to what you are asking...is it okay to do that.
Like if I am in the process of vibrationally calling in for money and there is a sort of a resistance as emotionally the money is'nt there already and to delve into that feeling is detrimental to the whole formula so can one do a flip switch action and go to a better feeling thought like feeling the happiness one got when one did a school play and there was applause from the spectators and you felt great and good and happy and on top of the world.
And this feeling can be referred to when ever one feels like. Is this okay though it is not connected to the 'asking' for which manifestation is required.
Please reply with your thoughts about the above.

"don't get out of bed in the morning until a tear of gratitude rolls down your cheek"



Many friends, relatives and well wishers went to bed last night and never saw tomorrow.

You owe the Source of all energies we all call God a sense of pure gratitude

for having given you that what you have today as you wake up to a new and wonderful experience-

we all call life.....



The more gratitude you show the Master of All Ceremonies the more will the Master

give to you in health so that you can enjoy your wealth and the satisfaction

that comes from happiness.



Remember , what you do today will be your experience tomorrow.

It is the Law of the Universe.

Sorry for the delayed response. Let me know if these answers make sense and help you out :)

What is "Vibrational Resonance"?

In regards to the Law of Attraction, attraction occurs between two energies which are the same. "Vibrational Resonance" is when you, as an individual, are always emitting energy at the vibration that's conducive to what you want (eg. money).

You see, you can't successfully guarantee you'll attract your desire into your life if you're not in resonance with it (in other words, the same vibration as it) all the time.

Usually it's conscious change at first that must help you get into the same vibration as your desires. (You can do this by using the techniques listed in earlier posts, such as using affirmations, expressing gratitude for having what you want, acting as if you've already achieved your goals, etc.)

Once this vibrational state has consciously been kept up for long enough, then you should naturally vibrate at that level all the time with no conscious effort required. It's at this point that you'll naturally be in "Vibrational Resonance" with what you want (and this is powerful when you naturally emit energy at this frequency with no conscious effort needed).

Will getting into a happy feeling or feeling good about something which may not be connected to what I'm asking still help lead me to manifesting my desires?

It really depends, but in the end, I'd probably say no.

A lot of manifesting what you want has to do with the initial intention. It comes from realizing what you want and then opening yourself up to receive it. This last part may mean releasing your desires to the universe to take care of while looking to stay positive and take the right actions on your part to help create the manifestation of what you want into your life.

However, I wouldn't recommend focusing on something else in order to help manifest what you actually want. Doing this means that you aren't comfortable with the idea of thinking about what you want (because you don't currently have it) and therefore, you aren't ready to be receiving it.

To be ready to receive it, you have to:

• Act as if you already have it.
• Feel the feelings that you would have if you did already have it.
• Visualize what you would do with all the money that you want.
• Be grateful for having received it (even if it's not yet there in reality).

If I am in the process of vibrationally calling in for money and there is a sort of a resistance (as emotionally the money isn't physically there already), isn't experiencing this feeling detrimental to the whole formula?

Yes, but you must realize that the money isn't (physically) there because you're having thoughts of lack and limitation. When you start to have thoughts of abundance and wealth, then you are ready to receive money increased quantities.

Can one do a flip switch action and go to a better feeling thought like feeling the happiness one got when one did a school play and there was applause from the spectators and you felt great and good and happy and on top of the world?

Let's go back to the Law of Cause and Effect again. You're at your current income because of the thoughts you've had and actions you've taken regarding the accumulation of money.

So for example, in my opinion, getting into a positive vibration by thinking about a time that made you happy most likely will not help attract riches into your life. What needs to change here is the thoughts and actions you've been taking that have caused you to earn the money that you're currently earning.

For example, it's like if you started using a different toothpaste: will doing this potentially help attract more wealth into your life? No. The same idea goes for thinking about the joyous feelings you experienced from your school play. It's not directly related to you accumulating more money.

Don't get me wrong -- thinking about positive experiences from the past will help you feel happy inside and get into a positive vibration (and this will help you attract "like" positive things into your life), but regarding money and finances, we're looking for specificity in your thoughts, especially, and in your subsequent level of vibration.

Used repeatedly, the techniques from this post of mine above will help you get into resonance with the money that you desire so that you can then attract it into your life.

As always, though, it's not just your thoughts and level of vibration that determines your results; it's your actions, too, so make sure you start taking the right actions as well that will help promote you earning more money.

Your current results and belief systems come from your subconscious mind, which has been ingrained with certain programming (or "paradigms") throughout the years - ever since you were a baby.

Now the programming you have dictates your results because it causes you to take the same actions which will promote stagnant results, and it also puts your body's energy into a certain level of vibration which will only cause you to attract more of the same results (those that you are in emotional harmony with).

So we have to change this subconscious programming and the way to do this is by repeatedly feeding certain desirable information to it.

You see, the subconscious mind:

• Must Accept Everything The Conscious Mind Feeds It
• Cannot Reject Any Bits Of Information That It's Fed
• Cannot Tell The Difference Between What's Real And What's Imagined

Now, the trick is to effectively use your conscious mind as a filter to choose to have thoughts and take positive actions to help promote the right belief systems, so that ultimately the subconscious programming will change which will, in turn, cause your results to change, too!

The conscious mind:

• Choose Thoughts
• Accept/Reject Thoughts
• Originate Thoughts

So, ultimately, by thinking the right thoughts and taking the right actions, we can change our subconscious programming (through consistent repetition), even if we don't believe what we're feeding it at the start.

Here are 5 things you can start doing today to help ultimately build up the right subconscious belief systems:

1) Act As If: This is a principle which states that you must act as if you are already living the lifestyle that you desire and have achieved the results you want. By acting as if you’ve already reached your goals and desired lifestyle, you naturally move onto a new vibration (away from those which your present results may dictate) and this new vibration will attract those events, circumstances, and material possessions into your life which will help make your “pretending” become a reality. Just ask yourself, "How would someone living the way I want be living be using their time and what thoughts/actions would they have/take?" Then emulate their behavior.

2) Visualize: By visualizing your idealistic lifestyle on a regular basis, you reinforce certain paradigms and pieces of programming into your subconscious mind which will help you think positive thoughts and take certain actions which will help propel you forward to achieve the end results you want. You see, whether you imagine something's real, or think that it's real, or experience something that actually is real, to your subconscious mind, it won't be able to tell the difference between what's real and what's imagined (because the information you feed it will always be coming from the conscious mind, and it must accept this information. Be sure that when you visualize, you do so with a deep emotional connection.

3) Write A Goal Card: I want to suggest that you write out a short statement on a goal card (regarding something you want to achieve) and carry it around with you in your pocket all day long. Start out your statement/goal with “I am so happy and grateful now that…” and then write out what you want in the present tense. Every time you touch that goal card in your pocket throughout the day, your thoughts will shift to those reflecting the attainment of your goal, your emotional state will have a positive shift, and you will move onto a more desirable level of vibration which will help you ultimately achieve your goal.

4) Use Affirmations: This has the same sort of idea as a goal card. An affirmation is a short, powerful statement in the present tense that declares something to be true (even if it isn't). I recommend putting your affirmations in the present-tense (as if you've already achieved what you want). The more you read your affirmations, say your affirmations, think of your affirmations, or write out your affirmations, the more this information will sink into your subconscious mind, causing you to feel great and attract the desirable lifestyle and results you want into your life even sooner.

5) Emotionalize With The Feeling Of What You Want Already Having Come True: Humans are emotional beings and our bodies are made up entirely of energy. When you can manipulate your body's energy and be in complete control of how you feel at any given time, then you have become the master of your mind and of yourself. In our universe, "like attracts like" which means if your body's energy is vibrating in a vibration that conducive to having an abundance of wealth and prosperity, then as long as this feeling is kept up and correct action is taken, you'll attract the according positive instances into your life (eg. in this case, the results you want). It's the subconscious mind that dictates your emotions, though, so be sure to think more often about what you want (and the feeling of already having it) and not about what you already have. (However, I do recommend you always express gratitude for your current results to keep your emotional state at a positive, desired level.)

Hope this helps!

Matthew: these are great suggestions, and that you have taken the time to spell them out in such detail reflects well on you.

I might add one other item that I am currently experimenting with: audio recordings of the affirmations, both liminal and subliminal, with simple piano accompaniment. I use a three-split affirmation approach, say, with Beethoven's Pathetique Symphony, Movement 2 (very beautiful music). Using my recording software (Cakewalk's Sonar 8.5 with Windows 7, 64-bit operating system), I record a main channel (center in the stereo spectrum), a right channel (panned far right in the stereo spectrum), and a left channel (panned far left in the stereo spectrum).

The main channel will carry the starter affirmation, the right channel will carry the second affirmation, and the left channel will carry the third affirmation. The hard-right and hard-left affirmations are turned down in volume, to a barely audible level. Once the center-main-channel's affirmation is flowing, one cannot really hear the hard-left and hard-right-channels' affirmations, which operate on a subliminal or near-subliminal level. About special effects: I like having the middle channel carrying the main affirmation sound a little "spacey," so I use a "phaser" effect, which "swishes" the voice back and forth on the stereo spectrum a bit. For the hard-left and hard-right voices, I use simple reverb, but no phaser. This allows the middle channel to be the dominant voice, the conscious mind trains on.

Now, about a third of the way through the music, I switch the affirmations to different channels, and then I do that again about two-thirds of the way through the music. Thus, at 1/3: Affirmation 1 leaves center stage and suddenly "appears" on the hard-right channel, while the hard-right channel's Affirmation No. 2 suddenly appears center-stage at the middle channel. Later, at 2/3: Affirmation No. 2 moves to the hard-left channel, which gives up its Affirmation No. 3 to the middle channel. It's a fantastic product.

Here is how one of my affirmations works:

1. Middle Channel with reverb, phaser, and compression effects, playing with Beethoven's Piano Pathetique Symphony, Movement No. 2: Affirmation No. 1 - "Happy thoughts that serve me well fill my mind every day. Happy thoughts that serve my higher good fill my mind all day long. It matters not whether the object of a thought is true or false--that is not the criteria for a thought to enter my mind. What matters is whether a thought is happy and whether it serves me well. Happy thoughts that serve me well are the only thoughts I keep in mind." (This affirmation later moves to the hard-right channel.)

2. Hard-Right Channel with only reverb effects, volume turned way down--barely audible, sometimes inaudible: Affirmation No. 2 - "I am the master of my thoughts. I control what goes in my mind and what stays out of my mind. I direct all my thoughts perfectly, all day long." (This affirmation later moves to the center-channel, and then the hard-left channel); and

3. Hard-Left Channel with only reverb effects, volume turned way down--barely audible, sometimes inaudible: Affirmation No. 3 - "Success. Lying on the beach. A sunny day. Sitting under a waterfall. Hiking in a rainforest. Scuba diving around a tropical reef. Clear focus. Bundled up warm on a snowy day. Sledding down a hill. Diving into a pool. Floating on a raft down a lazy river. A warm cozy restaurant during a rainstorm. Playing a board game on a lazy, summer afternoon. Maryland crabs by the pool along the shore in the summertime. Watermelon at a summer evening picnic." (This affirmation later moves to the center-channel, at the last part of the music.)

My latest experiment is listening to this even while I sleep. However, it caused me to have dreams, where the characters in the dream were quoting (verbatim!) my affirmation back to me. That might or might not be a good thing. I'm not sure yet.

Anyway, you can listen to and/or download my affirmation here for free! Enjoy! Download 2011-11-19 Balbraeaffirmationhappythoughts.mp3 - Kiwi6.com Mp3 Upload

Many have written about removing blocks before you become a plateau of clear
and clean mental environment which is the prerequisite for making way to what you are asking and the manifesting of that which you ask.
I have noticed that it is a desire that has stemmed from a need of that which you want .
Is it not that DESIRE is a place of not having and the meaning of desire is to long for or to hope for the outcome needed – which means you do not have what you want and therefore you DESIRE.
I believe that DESIRE is a sense like all our senses, otherwise.
And is DESIRE not a wanting, or a craving for that which you are asking.
A sensible outcome of the DESIRE is the action one takes to acquire the end result of the desire or the goal in the desire.
I am of the opinion that up to now when manifestation has not taken place there is a sense of desire…but in limbo…
So am I correct to state that DESIRE is the lack feeling place of wanting of that which has not yet been manifested.
Is DESIRE then a resistance and a block that will keep the end result required away from you.
Therefore the DESIRE and the feeling of DESIRE whilst you attempt a manifestation will only bring you more of lack and more lack.

Please let me have your valued explanation and let me know if I am right or wrong in looking at DESIRE the way I am trying to understand it.
Thanks for all the help.

Everytime I turn my head around I see an assembly of things I do not want to be connected with. The turmoil of life as it is seen through media, the poverty of some countries,the sickness and imbalance that has become as they say a life you must adjust to and with. These are things I do not want to associate myself with in my life. Am I experiencing a bolt of negative attraction…..?

I know it is with disdain that I look upon these things, these problems, these situations but I keep giving thought to them by default as if I am programmed to do so. Am I attracting these inferences ….and they are negative to me. I guess most people do just what I am quite often doing.

The LOA amplifies with full authority that what I think about I attract even if it is by default thinking.

The business of the opulent art of being the master of your thoughts now comes in I gather.

But then how do I stop thinking about my problems and start to attract my needs and wants. How do I manifest them when the angel of truth which is ‘I am in the lack of all that I am searching for’ supersedes the ego during this presentation.

I am a normal human being who is open to the stiimulii of media and the art persuation and can only allow for limited amounts of concentration and attention span.

Even to get inspired action in motion and to do a flip switch is process worth a million.

My thoughts and feelings will take center stage and what I am attracting will be of that which I am in alignment. With.

So may I ask if I can get into the NOW moment even when there is turmoil in my thinking and the season to cultivate a good , happy thought is like telling a lie to yourself.

Can I then ask you to elucidate on the N O W theory and allow for some really good explanation why one should get into the N O W , just now and feel the exuberance of the moment .

How does that allow for manifestation of the actual thing that you are wanting …getting into the N O W et al.

And what do I think of in the NOW…..please tell for what I may be asking.

[Matthew Cluff]

After assimilating your post on "desire," I can see where your viewpoint about it being a negative block to your success would coming from, but ultimately, I would have to disagree with you.

You DO WANT to have massive amounts of passionate desire regarding why you ultimately want to achieve your goal. This is what's going to constantly fuel you to want to take the right action and think the right things so that you will ultimately reach your goal.

From my understanding of what you were saying, one has the desire to achieve or have something because they don't currently have it, and therefore because they don't yet have it, you're reasoning that the concept of desire is a "block" to their success. However, I believe that having desire is a necessity because it makes you want to always move forward to reach your goals until you do, indeed, reach them. Therefore, it WON'T be a "block" because the individual who has desire will always want to be moving closer and closer toward what they want until they ultimately achieve it.

Desire IS a wanting/craving regarding what you want to achieve. Why do you want what you want? What are the emotionally charged reasons (the "whys") behind each and every goal you've set for yourself? This "why" section is the most important section in the entire process one goes through in setting goals!

You said, "A sensible outcome of the DESIRE is the action one takes to acquire the end result of the desire or the goal in the desire." I totally agree with you here. It's going to keep you fueled to continue moving forward in the direction of making your dreams into realities.

However, you also said, "I am of the opinion that up to now when manifestation has not taken place there is a sense of desire…but in limbo…" and I'd have to disagree with this. When you have a burning desire to achieve success - to be, do, and have all that you ever imagined - it's going to fuel you to take the right action and taking the right action will ultimately directly influence your results in a positive fashion.

Thinking/hoping/wishing alone isn't going to help you achieve your goals. It's like if you had a glass of water right in front of you and you were thirsty: you could wish and hope that the water will get into your mouth all you wanted, but ultimately action must be taken.

Desiring and wishing and hoping alone will only get you so far, but when you use these to move your body's energy onto a new level of vibration, then you're naturally going to be taking inspired action that's in alignment and will help continuously perpetuate you toward your goals!

• Thoughts cause emotions.
• Emotions cause actions.
• Actions cause results.

You can break this formula down piece by piece however you want, but ultimately all three parts must be in alignment with each other in order for you to achieve your goals! (You can't simply have one but not the other two.)

As a side note, to achieve what you want you must have discipline, and understand that discipline is something that is "consciously chosen, ardently desired and patiently persisted in." Therefore, you must have desire in cultivating the discipline to achieve your goals.

Overall, having desire is not a block or a hindrance to your progress of achieving your goals; on the contrary, I highly recommend you have massive amounts of desire behind each goal you work toward. Otherwise, soon enough, you'll be uninspired to continue taking the right action to achieve what you want.

No, this is not negative attraction, but rather you may be choosing in some cases to expose yourself to those negative stories.

I recommend that you don't watch, read, or listen to the news. The media is such a resounding force and a powerful reason behind why people are always living in negative emotions and captivated by fear, so eliminate the situations from your life that you know will make you feel bad and negative and harm your paradigms/programming in a negative way.

Naturally, there will be instances when you'll experience negative people and events in your life. For example, when driving or walking down the sidewalk, you're exposing yourself by force to a massive amount of people. Now, these people haven't come together because they're all positive or negative. It's simply how they get from Point A to Point B in their lives. So you WILL experience some oddballs and/or negative people as you venture through life, but this doesn't necessarily have to do with attraction. If at all possible, simply don't give any thought or emotion to it.

Otherwise, do your best to consciously eliminate all negativity (eg. media, news, etc.) that has the possibility of coming into your life.

Humans are emotional beings and with live in an ocean of motion with an abundance of energy all around us. Naturally, we've been programmed to be affected by outer circumstances, and if there's enough negative that keeps coming into our life that we accept or take in, it'll harm our subconscious programming in a negative way.

You think that you've been programmed to look upon a negative situation and experience a negative emotion simply because you have not developed 100% control over what your emotional state is at all times.

Yes, you can do what you can to eliminate as much negativity as possible, but there'll still be the certain instances which seem unavoidable. It's at these times that you must consciously REJECT the negativity with your mind and move on.

Understand that there's a Law of Polarity which states that for something BAD, there's something equally and oppositely just as GOOD about it. What we're really talking about here is perception, and you must condition your perception (starting immediately) to only notice the good.

To ensure calmness and serenity in your life and to allow yourself to push past your problems/difficulties while dealing with them, start operating under these two principles:

• Don't sweat the small stuff.
• All problems are small problems.

Difficulties you experience on the way to a goal are only there to help you grow. They're there to tell you what you should correct so that you can get on a faster track to success.

Also, out of almost all problems, there's always a positive end result to them or a positive aspect about them. Bob Proctor one time left his only completed manuscript of his book "You Were Born Rich" in a taxi cab when he exited it, and he had no way to possibly get it back. So he wrote a new version of it and he ended up being more happier with how the second version turned out than he was with the first.

Don't worry about problems you experience. Sometimes, it's a matter of perception and can be corrected this way. To deal with it though, simply become aware of it (but don't become emotionally involved in it) and then deal with it. This could either be done by yourself or another individual.

You have your current results because of the things you did and what you were thinking in the past. You'll get your future results because of the things you start doing and thinking today.

We already went over how the conscious mind has the ability to accept and reject thoughts. Truth is simply what your conscious mind decides. You can look at your present currents and either accept them (which will keep bringing them about) or reject them (which will assist you in moving forward in living the life you really want to be living).

What's "true" is simply what you consciously think and believe is "true," and that choice is 100% yours!

Originally Posted by kapootala

You say "normal human being" because that's simply how most people operate. However, they have infinite potential locked within them waiting to be unleashed and they have the ability to choose their level of vibration at all times by choosing, accepting, and rejecting their thoughts and what they perceive through the five senses.

Now, even better than "rejecting" the negative events that the media may have, just don't expose yourself to the media. It's that simple!

And for concentration and focus, you can develop this mental faculty if you choose to. You are not limited to only being able to focus for a certain amount of time. The more you consciously focus, the greater this faculty will become and the longer you'll be able to utilize it.

As mentioned before, it would only be a lie if you accepted your current results and outer negative circumstances with your conscious mind.

Spirit is always for expansion and fuller expression, and it is a natural part of human behavior that has us wanting to (deep down) always want to do a better job than we're currently doing.

Keep your thoughts on what you want, get into the right level of vibration, start taking the right actions, and ultimately make your desired results a reality.

Some people say that you should choose what it is that you want to achieve and then "release it" to the universe to let it help you achieve it. Living in the now means opening yourself up to receive it and focusing on what you can do NOW which will ultimately help your desires come true in the future.

Be grateful for the progress you've made, ensure you have a solid vision for the future (a.k.a. Know where you're going) and then start taking actions and having thoughts NOW that will ultimately assist in the manifestation of what you want.

Hope this helps! :)

Law of Attraction and VISION BOARDS

Hi Matthew,

Would like to have your take on VISION BOARDS.
I have observed that Abraham- Esther Hicks has never made mention of Vision Boards though I suppose they propogate the use of the methodology in a different way which is the non entity Abraham way I presume.

Are Vision Boards a replacement for meditation as the sunrises......?

Is the Vision Board platform a success...or is it only in theory.

[Matthew Cluff]

What vision boards really help you do is get into resonance with your desires and get into the right emotional/vibrational state to attract them.

You're surrounded by high-impact emotional-triggering pictures of the things that you want so much of the time (depending on where your vision board is) and this is so powerful in getting you into the right positive vibration to attract ALL of your desires and helping you stay in that vibration for the vast majority of the time.

It's as if you already have what you want (which helps get you into the right vibration to receive your desires) because you're surrounded by pictures of what you want already!

This is almost a substitution for the powerful visualization techniques we talked about earlier:

Because the subconscious mind can't tell the difference between what's real and imagined, visualizing your desires coming true or being true is a very powerful exercise you can do to get into the feeling as if you already have what you want, which in turn puts you into the right vibration to attract/receive it.

Originally Posted by kapootala

Having a vision board should NOT replace meditation. Meditation helps you relax and can also, in some cases, allow you to tap into the ether to discover techniques or ways to discover how to achieve your goal(s) (which you may not have previously thought of before).

It is simply a visualization technique for helping you get into resonance with what you want; it is not the same as meditation. Therefore, the benefits will be great in helping you achieve what you want, but you should also meditate in conjunction with using a vision board because meditation has different, yet important positive benefits that contribute to your wellness.

Originally Posted by kapootala

Vision boards have been monumental in the success of certain individuals; therefore, it is not only in theory that it works, but it is a workable platform of success.

I have not personally used them, but John Assaraf from The Secret used one to subconsciously attract his dream house into his life (all without him knowing until he found his vision board (that he had used) years later and saw that the house he was living in was the EXACT house he had posted on his vision board).

Ultimately, any visualization technique will do to help you get into the right space and vibration to achieve/attract what you want, but Vision Boards and "Mind Movies" are proven visualization methods that are known to help you with this immensely.

Kapootala,

The beginning of a poem called The Serenity Prayer may cast some light on your inquiry. It goes like this:

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

When all is said and done accepting what is so, the way things are, is key to living a tranquil and productive life. If you let everything you don't like upset you your life will be a predictable mess. When you acknowledge the way things are you can begin the journey into the realm of what's possible.

Can you be the kind of person who is able to manifest peace from within? Matthew has given sage advice, but now is the time to implement, take action for yourself.

PRAYER:-

Much can be said about the new age involvement of LOA, the Abraham Esther platforms,
the’thoughts become things’ gurus and so on…but nobody if only a few have spoken about the word ’prayer’ and it’s actual meaning and the reason why it is used and what benefits a prayer or prayers can result and derive for the person or persons praying. I am referring to the PRAYER which is a form of communication with God, Source Energy, the Saints of Holy Books and spirits in the unknown

But, I am also aware that a prayer is a form of communication between the praying person and the listener to whom it is directed in most cases. I believe the word prayer comes from the Latin precari precarium which means to ask. In British Courts of law they use sentences to address the judge and the jury with lines like….’Pray, my Lord that I get an injunction in this case…..” or “pray,do continue your explanation…”

There are prayers in all religions for all sorts of requests.I see that a prayer is meant to be an asking device used either verbally in tandem with your mind/thoughts and also quietly said in the mind when it is to be a secret conversation to the entity it is directed to. I also believe that prayers are used to win wars by either sides of the warring nations and this makes it complicated to know that one prayer can be set against another prayer in stances like these….in wars and such like situations.

Oftentimes there are singular prayer people who pray for what they want to manifest.
The prayer is asking in the state of lack. Is there reason to believe that a prayer can also be a thanksgiving prayer . So then what is a prayer and what kind of an influence does it have in reality. Jesus the Christ of all times ,Mohamed the Prophet of those who seek heaven , Buddha, the sage of all sages – As a man thinketh’ all prayed say the books of history. What is the “Secret” here ….are prayers really heard to bring results to man.
Can prayers save a human life. Can more than two people gather together in the name of God and have more power that one person praying the Our Father.
Are we praying by default……
Can we pray to departed souls…..

Please do let me have your valued views from the observation that you have had in the use of prayer over the period of your earthly experience.

Prayer has always been a mystery to me. A form of mantra, affirmation such that the subconscious mind take on the action of the prayer? Or is it just a wish for something to happen or something not to happen. Does it carry any real power. Some would say yes.

The Serenity Prayer is a practical little ditty. It brings to your attention that there are some things you cannot alter, other thing you have influence over. It makes sense in a very earthly manner. Having the wisdom to know the difference, well, that may take a bit of input from a higher power. LOL!

Would like to have Matthew Cluff's views on prayer from the insert above.
Other forum members are most welcomne to reply to the post on prayer.
This is getting very interesting as a forum post.
I am praying that it does.
There is power in prayer I gather.
But to direct it is the captains compass that comes into play.
Who is the captain and what kind of waters does he sale in.....

I am in full agreement with you.
The benefits of stealing is big ticket and suits the enjoyment for the time
it lasts. But what goes around comes around.....big time.
You or your family , your near and dear ones get robbed because of the sins of the father.
