 I am short circuiting my own desires by thinking I am seperate from the universe, when I am my own universe? I thought we are one? So, if I am my own universe, and my intentions and desires are calling to my soul and I am feeling the truth of who I am in my thoughts, then what is stopping my flow? Me? How do I get out of my own way???      |

| Empowered without money Do you want money to feel empowered, or do you feel disempowered without it? Why can't you feel empowered without money? I am only saying that, if you don't have that stuff clear, it won't happen. If you have it all clear, it should be a matter of time, please tell us when you win  [/quote]I feel empowered just by being. I also feel disempowered without having money. Money is the tool that will enable me to be, do and have the life I see myself living if I had true financial freedom. The freedom and power to be, do and have all I can experience with the use of money. Without money to do all I desire, I feel restricted and powerless to live as I truly see myself living inside my thoughts and desires. Does this make sense? I must be in my own way if I am not experiencing abundance on a level of being able to give, help and receive financial abundance. Any Help would be grateful. |

| The way I see it The way I see it is: Perhaps the problem is that you are TELLING the universe how you want to achieve that financial freedom you speak about. Perhaps it is not so much the way you reach the financial freedom that you should be concentrating on but what you will do with your financial freedom. So, my humble opinion, maybe you should just concentrate on the outcome and not the way you will get there.  |

| I didn't have time to read every post on this thread, but my advice to you would be to seriously consider why you want to win the lottery and what you will do with the money once you do win. There are a lot of consequences to winning the lottery, both positive and negative. Everyone you ever crossed paths with in your entire life will try to get a piece of the pie. What you will need to do is truly have a plan, a real plan, about how you will use the money you win and stick to it, until it proves to no longer serve the highest good of all. If you are doing this for your individual ego and the glorification of your namesake, it will not be worth it, I guarantee it. But if you are doing this for the highest good of all, to serve humanity and all of its best interests, then God bless you for wishing for this to come into your life. I mean, how awesome would it be to have the resources to truly make the world a better place for years and years? It would be incredible. |

| winning the lottery I have done this and actually still do this during my morning meditations. The funny this is I win the lottery every single time I play. Its just not the jackpot. I might win as little as two dollars, but I still win. So instead I am focusing my intent on a dollar figure and leaving it all up to universal energy. How much money would it take for you to live the life you want to lead. When coming up with this figure you will probably want to calculate how much will be left after buying the dream house and dream car and all of the dream toys you will want. Decide how you would want to invest the money and try to come up with a reasonable percent of yearly interest and then divide that by 12. If you can live off of interest generated by your money in the way you want to live then that it. Thats the figure you need. Last edited by dragonfly183 : 06-02-2007 at 05:00 PM.

Okay back to the lottery. Think about this and this is probably the reason you'll never break or bend the rules governing you winning the lottery. If you purposfully intended to win the lottery and negated all the rules self imposed on how that is possible, then you will highly likely be inclinded to do it again and shout it from the roof tops and prove to everyone else, how to do it. And there is the problem. What you have to do is think about how being able to win millions of dollars will impact on your reality. I'd imagine the person who can manifest a big lottery win, the person who knows they can do it and would if they chose that, would not do it. Now you might say "that's BS because that person would manifest 10 gazillion dollars and save the world, end hunger free everyone and no more suffering" but that is not true. All the money in the world would create for that person more problems that solutions and we come back to the fact that, a person who could do it, isn't the kind of person who would do it. Okay so, you say "I'll just win enough so no one really notices, so I can enjoy my life and help people a litle bit" That's great and that is something you can do, but you have to change, break and bend the rules and in your mind doing that on any level has consequences in your reality. Remember your whole mind set is a collection of rules that govern your reality and they've been there ruling your world for how ever long you've been aware of them 10? 20? 30+ years?? So in short, yes you can win the lottery by intending it, but it's highly unlikely until you can accept the rules, bend or break some of them and then live with the knowledge of the power that requires.

| Instead of trying to win the lottery, wouldn't it be better to manifest abundance into your life in whatever form it takes? Why does no one want to work for their money, they just want it handed to them on a silver platter just by thinking about it? If I were the universe, you can bet those people would be the last ones I'd give the money to. |

I couldn't agree less, working hard is a brainwashing idea from when we used to have to run around for days and weeks to catch Mammoths. Society frowns on 'get rich quick' why the heck would anyone want to get rich slow? It's more rewarding? It makes you a better person? Hogwash! These are all timeless social conditioning techniques to make the average person a prisoner of debt, while the people who can see truth, easily and enjoyably continue to make and increase their wealth. Every human being deserves to be as rich as possible and as quickly as possible, anything else is denial. Enjoy! Max Power "don't think, know" |

 personal reality It is interesting in reading the replies to my first intention how many are limited in thinking my desire for instant wealth through the lottery is negative. Isn't personal reality the reason we choose any goal or desire? To experience the experience for growth, in any shape or form? Why is my desire to be, do, and have all I can be utilizing the tool of money negative. Couldn't it be truth the the very existance of the lottery was created by those who are specifically interested in instant wealth, for whatever reasons. Growth and experiences are personal. My desires are growth inducing. Funny, how my desire for financial freedom is considered negative, but wanting a relationship, or health, or bla, bla, bla is somehow seperated from all desires. I think that anyone who thinks the desire for financial freedom has a blockage somewhere. Wanting to live a life that is filled with freedom to be, do and have is truly a life lived. Hurray for me!!! Thank you all for your comments, it has shown me by the very replies this has received where I might have blocked myself from receiving that which I have asked and intended for myself. To all of you who have a desire here on earth, I wish you many blessings and make it so for you. For true growth is unconditional. Love to you all. |

| Here are some nice Abraham quotes to help you on your path! "What about creating a very obvious positive current of financial abundance? What about getting so good at visualizing that the money flows through you easily? What about expending money? Giving more people work? Giving more people opportunity? The more you spend, the more people benefit, and the more people get in on the game and dovetail with you. Your role is to utilize the Energy. That's why you exist. You are an Energy-flowing being, a focuser, a perceiver. You are a Creator. There is not anything worse in all of the Universe to do than to come forth into the environment of great contrast where desire is born easily and not allow Energy to flow to your desire. That is a true squandering of life." "It does not matter what path you take, but it does matter if the path you are taking is something that you are believing is appropriate. Nothing is more damaging to you than to do something that you believe is wrong." And for Jill (you obviously don't get notes from the Universe...lol) & other naysayers: "Dollars aren't the root of happiness but they are not the root of evil either. They are the result of how somebody lines up Energy. If you don't want dollars, don't attract dollars. But we say to you, your criticism of others who have dollars, holds you in a place where things you do want, like wellness and clarity and Well-being, can't come to you either." ------ And hey! Why not win the lottery! Hundreds (if not thousands) of people win the lottery every week, & hundreds (if not thousands) of people win big jackpots every year. Why not be one of them? Especially if you're going to do great things with it! Just remember it's not a competition! It's a wonderful thing when anyone wins. Also there are about 300 pages (if you print them) of awesome, dynamic, purely positive & helpful Abraham manifesting information here:Abraham-Hicks Quarterly Journal Just hit the drop down menu for articles, workshop excerpts, Q&A's etc... print it & absorb yourself in it. Love & God Bless You!! Last edited by autumn : 06-05-2007 at 05:39 PM. |

| The lottery, by and large, is a tax for people that are bad in math. You've got a better chance of getting struck by lightning while simultaneously dying in an earthquake and drive-by shooting rather than winning the lottery. No amount of positive thinking is going to influence the cold meathook reality of probability. If one applied as much zeal as the opening post speaks of trying to accrue that kind of money through their own efforts then they'd be orders of magnitude more likely to see the desire for such a fortune manifest. That takes hard work, research, and dedication - not improbably dumb luck.

 I know someone who intentionally and successfully won small cash prizes four times in a row (I believe those scratch cards that you buy, or something similar). I have never met anyone even like this person. According to this person, attempting such a feat with large lotteries with gigantic cash prizes is in a whole different league, and says that to do so would be to compete against the awarenesses of millions of others. This person further states that one cannot force or rush those small cash prize winnings, let alone larger ones. And to me, this person is in a league above everybody I've ever met, and could barely scrape up some small winnings. Perhaps that will put things into perspective |

| It also helps that you've got much better odds on scratch-off tickets because you either have a winning ticket or you don't. There's no input involved. You don't have to guess a random series of numbers with million to one odds. Who do you think does better at the casino: the one who plays slot machines which are electronically rigged who is trying to manifest some mystical form of thinking into cash winnings, or the guy counting cards over at the Blackjack tables?
