Seriously, I really don't think Steve is the type of guy that can pull off long hair. But he does have the facial structure of someone I could see with short spikey hair.

Nah, I can see Steve looking good with longer hair. But then, I feel your hair is about what you connect with having, not about pleasing people outside of you.

Truthfully I didn't look good with long hair. It got a bit too curly/wavy as it grew out.

Default One the of the best videos of I have seen in a while

Hi Steve,
While its always good to read your posts, the 4 videos were truly great and resonated with me completely.

I was planning on going to bed and thought of just checking the first video out.... 4 videos and some 30 minutes later ( way past the planned bed time ) I found myself thinking about what you said about abundance and kick-starting my visualization right away....

Needless to say, although I missed an hour of sleep, it was an hour well spent...

Thanks once again for a great videos and keep up the great "work".....

Best Wishes
Harsh Desai

Did you try not using any shampoo? My hair is free of any hair product.

Great Videos Steve

Creating Abundance through visualization definitely works. I myself have been using it to create a different life from the one that I was living. It is really a mind shift that you experience when things start to happen in your life through it and you are right about having to have courage to take action. I just wanted to say again great post and looking forward to move video post.

Smile Abundance Vids Awesome!

Steve,

You continue to give more and more exceptional and heartfelt value to us all who are lucky to have made our way to your site.

I stand in awe of your authentic style and always learn something insightful when I visit here. Your writing has always had a profound effect, and your first videos carry your genuine style now through the spoken word--you're a natural!

The courage to follow your heart is often denied due to much of our social conditioning. Your courage with your own intimacy abundance is inspirational and its message relevant to all pursuits.

Great work, great stuff.

Thank you so much for another phenomenal post!

Lol, nice avatar Steve. Anyway, I have to admit I've been following you since Dexterity and I stopped about year ago, dropping in only sometimes. Perhaps as the articles got more like abstract and scientific it was harder and harder to read. BUT, the video rocks! It's much more interesting to watch you like that and also as someone pointed out, all the 1000 thoughts that personally mattered to me in your articles are left out, but the core stays. If you keep posting more videos I'll definetly return to watch them(as long as they don't get like 2 hour sessions like some of the articles
Thanks.

My main block in manifesting abundance is that I am not sure it is right for me to have more than others. Otherwise, I'm sure I could gain lots of money (and certainly use it to help others and to enhance my service to others).

Could you suggest to me how I could eliminate this block?

Do you not have any doubts as to what property represents, and if it is right to have it? When you live alone in a 3-room apartment, and you know friends who live in crowded apartments with old ladies who drive them crazy, don't you worry that maybe, just maybe, you aren't that entitled to living by yourself in a 3-room apartment? Or worse, if you see a homeless man dying in the cold?

J.J. Rousseau, one of the greatest philosophers and author of the Social Contract, has written once in "Essay on the origin of inequality":

Quote:
THE first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying "This is mine", and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows, "Beware of listening to this impostor; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody."

Excellent video. A completely different experience from reading an article - it's even more authentic that way.

I have one naive question about the visualisation exercise.
Suppose one imagines something completely unrealistic. Let's say, to find the perfect girl-/boyfriend and live in complete harmony. That's unrealistic because "perfect" is very difficult to attain and no relationship is without conflicts. And even if you manage to reach your goal, it's going to be less exciting than your fantasies.
Wouldn't that set you up for ultimate disappointment? Even if you reach your goal, it will never be as wonderful as your visualization.

What makes you so sure this is unrealistic? Can you prove to me that this is an unrealistic goal? What does 'perfect' even mean to you, and why couldn't you achieve that? Perhaps it is only unrealistic because you believe it is so, because I don't see this as being unrealistic. I've found perfect girlfriends in the past and have lived in complete harmony for a time. For me, what you have described is a realistic goal.

When the fear and doubt comes in from a situation that you wanted to attract. (Let say buying a classic car). But the thing that is coming to you as an opportunity. Is not exactly what you wanted, (say the car is more money than you wanted to spend for it). So you have fear and doubt about it. Do you get another chance at the same opportunity? ( if the car is still available lets say) Do you raise your price to buy the car or hold strong to your price. (Like will the guy come around and offer it to you latter at your offer price if you keep a positive vibe and feeling up? Or is the opportunity just gone? If the opportunity is gone. Will there be a better priced car come around at a lower price to satisfy the feeling you have? Or will it be totally different situation so you may doubt all over the next time too, and you just have to learn to jump at anything close to what looks like what you have been trying to attract into your life without regard to the price. Steve. Please answer fast before it gets away.

Just wanted to say I really loved this post.

I particularly benefited from hearing the things you had to say about vibrations, creating a vibration within yourself, and recognising the things which do and do not resonate with those vibrations.

Muchas Gracias,
Rich
