You talk about money as if it's a constant, but it is constantly fluctuating in value. Last week, when the Federal Reserve announced it is going to create 600 billion dollars over the next 8 months, the price of gold and silver instantly shot up and the value of the dollar went down. Money is actually less valuable now than it was a week ago, but it may return to its previous value in time.

However, the general trend is devaluation. Even many electronics are going up in price now, because inflation is outstripping improvements in technological production. Savings accounts go down in value, so it's best to produce a constant stream of income and spend it on valuable things as quickly as you can.

Someone needs to write a blog post about playfulness in depth. ;-)

Every relationship in your life contributes to the overall vibe you’re putting out. This includes all the different ways you relate to money.

For example, if your job sucks and doesn’t pay you very well, and you try to manifest money on the side, that probably won’t work so well because each time you go to work at your job, you risk re-triggering the vibe of feeling financially under-appreciated.
YES, absolutely.

I recently quit my job, which was far less than fulfilling.

I worked in a discount retail store, and almost every aspect of that place resonated with scarcity. The customers were persistently haggling and returning items because of buyer's remorse, and management was under-staffing, under-resourcing, and under-appreciating . I would leave almost every shift feeling both emotionally and physically drained, even if I had only done a five hour shift that didn't involve a whole lot of movement. And I wondered why my life consisted of energy drinks and microwave dinners .

I don't even know what I'm going to do now that I'm out of work, but right at this moment I couldn't be happier. I feel like there is some healing going on, and my mind is reopening to new possibilities.

As for finding money, I have been slacking off a little. My manifestation jar has stalled around the $50 mark.

Default Great article and It worked!!!

So I was walking into work tonight and all of a sudden Steve's article popped in my head. I thought about it being a game and I have already manifested tons of coins and figured I was ready for a twenty to appear. I do in seat service for the floor seats at NBA games- and I have NEVER received a twenty dollar tip yet. I wasn't sure if it would come as a tip or on the ground since that was how I thought of it- in relation to the post. Sure enough I was walking in a hallway and there were other people around and I spotted a twenty dollar bill lying there on the ground!!!!

I picked it up said thank you and went on my way- all of this happened within two or three hours of thinking of the "money game."

I am not sure whether I am more amazed no one else noticed it, and it was in the middle, or that it happened that quickly. I know twenty was easy for me to believe, so I am now trying to decide if I stay at twenty for a few times to really 'get it' or if I should move on up to higher denominations???

This actually got through that I have power over money and asking for a nickel a twenty or a hundred would be just as easy as asking for a million or twenty!!!!

I am so psyched!!!!

Default How I used to manifest things

One thing that puzzles me is that often times, I started the process of attracting a change in my life by becoming frustrated by the lack of what I wanted. True, I also started imagining what it would be like to have that outcome already, but I also felt the frustration of being where I was quite noticeably. I feel as if that was only a catalyst for the manifestation to begin, not an obstacle. Although I do plan to improve my attitude in the future and maybe start wtih excitement and gratitude from the beginning.

The universe definitely plays games with me!

A few months ago (maybe 5?) I decided, I find money a lot...it's just a thing I do. And I reminded myself of that frequently, and when I would pick up a penny I found on the sidewalk I would repeat it, and especially if I was with someone, I would mention to them "Yeah...it's just one of those things I do!" And, lo and behold, I started finding coins CONSTANTLY. For me - in fairly limited time outdoors each day - to find 5 or more coins is not that unusual, and quite often nickels, dimes, quarters.

When, for some reason, I spot a coin but can't pick it up (say, I am in a crowd rushing to get on the ferry), I make a point to say thank you to the universe, and smile.

One of the funnier occurances was a while back, I swiped my metrocard to get into the subway station. And, I had had this nagging thought to first walk over towards the exit turnstiles and look there, but I ignored it. Only to see, once I was in the station, right past where I could get it, on the ground just outside the exit turnstile, a dime, gleaming up at me. And I laughed - I should've listened to my inner voice! I thought about leaving and coming back in, but that seemed silly, to pay another $2.25 to get one dime. A few weeks went by, and I often glanced over in that direction. And then one day I didn't. And standing on the inside of the exit turnstiles, damned if I didn't glance down and see, in almost the same spot as before, a dime! Well, this time I was determined, so I bent down and reached my arm over and was *just* able to get it. I laughed pretty hard that night!

Are you being too attached when you try to be the No.1 at something, say for example if your intention was to write seven songs and get the top seven places in the charts with them, is that too specific?

Maybe the answer is yes, and I'm in denial

Gingerbaker!! You are my SuperHeroine of Intention Manifestation!!!! That's just crazy!! The Universe is winking at you continually!
After reading Steve's this blog, I'm now serious about manifesting money. I'm now more careful and experimental and am sure will post my own Stories here!!

Can't I start somewhere else than with coins on the ground? I'm terribly bored by the idea of looking for coins on the ground, at the moment. But how else can I "manifest" money that's a low-level starting challenge? Where on earth would I "manifest" $20, for example?

OOOH I played the coin game today! For the whole day (I was in the city) so it was quite a few hours... I didn't end up finding anything but I got quite close (bottle caps, coin shaped smears) & in the end I just found a sort of fake silver necklace which had hair tangled up in it XD (I put it outside my house 'cause I don't really want it but I was appreciative of the sign lol). I think my problem was that I was too stingy with my existing coins. But it was fun, my friends thought I was wacky though HAHA! Even though I didn't find coins I feel this awesome energy surrounding me.

However my grandparents are giving me money for graduating high school next week so I still ended up manifesting money for myself

I'm pretty good at finding coins, and they are definitely out there. Apparently lots of people don't think it's worth the effort to pick up pennies and nickles. If you're new at the game, try parking lots. A lot of coins fall out when keys and pockets are involved.

Unfortunately, finding coins and making money in business are completely different, and though I like a lot of Steve's writing, I don't see why he treats the ability to find coins as so important. It's like training your forehead muscles to improve your running.

Could you manifest it in the form of free stuff that is worth $20 (or whatever amount you choose)? You could be receiving a coupon for a manicure, a cocktail at a bar, get invited for dinner, find a book, get a scholarship! You could focus on a particular free thing you want or make a game of seeing how creative the universe can get.

Your first paragraph explains why you think they're different. You're trying to use logic to figure out where the coins are. Do you use the same approach in business? No wonder...

This is a weak mindset to use for manifesting. Only use this approach if you want to struggle at manifesting.

The coins -- and the business opportunities -- are EVERYWHERE, not just in parking lots.

They're everywhere because you have the power to create them wherever you go.

None of this makes any difference. If the value of money declines, you'll simply become a match for manifesting larger sums.

If you fuss over the value of your savings, your giving your power away to money. Savings have zero power. It's just a number... meaningless.

Worrying about the value of your savings is like going to the arcade and bemoaning the fact that there are now game machines with high scores in the tens of millions. What happened to the good ole days when 95,000 was a great high score?

I don't think it's even necessary to add a caveat as long as your intention is correct. Meaning that you only want to manifest something in a positive way and wouldn't ever think of getting what you want at the expense of others. If your intention is only to create good, no one should ever be harmed. I just don't bother using them as I try to keep affirmations/prayers very simple, using only the most effective words. Since a strong, positive emotion is important in manifesting, sending love to the situation you want to create can also be used instead of a caveat.

Caveats seem to be more necessary for those who do things only from an ego standpoint or who typically have "evil" intent (though likely the could care less about using a caveat). This is obviously why a lot of people can get away with hurting others. They've become good at manifesting what they want and don't care about others.

After reading the post I set out for the coin hunt, not Money or its value. Just a 5 Rupee coin. No coins still after two days. But I'm not rushing. It will come when it's time has come

But I found thingS close to that 5 Rupee coin. Just like Steve told, I stumbled upon bottle caps and round shaped stickers and unusual spherical pellets. I also stumbled upon a pulled-out condom which was exactly in the circular shape I swear on the soul of Universe that I never intended that. I thought Universe was saying

UNIVERSE!!! I WANT COINS. NOT CONDOMS!!

I really appreciate the response. What I meant was that without any planning I was finding the most coins in parking lots, and then I applied some speculation to explain why.

The main difference I perceive between finding coins and finding business opportunities is that coins are physical and can be spotted with eyes, metal detectors, etc. Business is completely different. As I understand it, business is mainly based on certain human protocols that can not be seen and take experience to learn. Like you said in your book, money is a measure of social value.

As physicists are keen to point out, that which is physical is really just energy given form.

A coin is an idea given form. So is a business opportunity. And the same goes for eyes and metal detectors.

The matter that makes up a coin or a business contract or the hands in a handshake has been all over the place. At some point in the past, those atoms were found inside a star. And at some point before that, it was probably lots of energy compressed into an infinitely dense singularity.

The matter doesn't matter.

Free stuff! I wanted some free stuff, I kept my eye out for it, and *POOF!* -- it showed up. A beautiful handcrafted oak bed, a gorgeous chest of drawers that goes perfectly with my other furniture. Fun!

I read an article that says meditation is very good for detachment..

I don't mean to nag here but, is anyone able to offer me any insight on my question, are you being too attached if you were aiming to be the best at something, as in no. 1 in the world or somesuch?

The reason that I'm saying this again is cos I set an awesome goal, and now I'm not so sure if its set in the right fashion... Basically to get the top seven places in the charts

Good idea! Thanks. *wonders where to find free stuff...*

Since a strong, positive emotion is important in manifesting, sending love to the situation you want to create can also be used instead of a caveat.

Caveats seem to be more necessary for those who do things only from an ego standpoint or who typically have "evil" intent (though likely the could care less about using a caveat). This is obviously why a lot of people can get away with hurting others. They've become good at manifesting what they want and don't care about others.
Thanks for your response. I've been thinking of the universe more like a machine, I guess, which might be calculating the most efficient way to achieve a request without regard for good or bad, love or hate. So it could give you what you want at someone else's cost unless you specifically add a command for no one to be harmed. Of course this could be an entirely inaccurate view. I think I'll stick with caveats for now and see how I progress.

Since I started adding caveats I've been feeling much more confident and 'OK' about attempting manifestation as I've not been conflicted about whether I might be taking from others. I've mostly tried buses so far, but every time I've done this it's been successful to a surprising (to me) degree. I've been intending to see a certain bus in a certain place or for a bus to arrive at my stop within one minute or two minutes, for example, and it has worked every time. Last week I did the one-minute thing and the bus stopped right in front of me exactly on the count of 60.

Of course this could be coincidence, but I've not had any failures yet and I've been precise in what I'm asking for. We'll see what next week brings...

Default UN-manifesting???

Hello all and thank you for all of your encouragement with my last reply. I am still trying to figure out the forum since I don't post too much

So, last night I had another NBA game and I went to work and I had about the same thoughts as the last time and so I figured I would go for a hundred dollar bill this time.

As soon as I thought this I actually had a brief vision of a hundred dollar bill on the ground and I figured this was a reference to the previous night because that was how the twenty came to me.

Boy was I wrong- I LOST a hundred dollars- on the ground- never to be recovered. I have some serious POWER over money!!!!

Comments? Help? Theories? I am that confused. I guess the good part is -1) it happened in half the time as it took for me to manifest the twenty. -2)It is a higher amount -3) it happened the way I saw it? And I would have to guess that unmanifesting is just another aspect of manifesting that needs some tweaking??? It was weird but I know there is some valuable ($100.) lesson there

Sherry
