The Intelligent Thought of the Mind
The Master Key Part 18

The Intelligent Thought of the Mind

Haanel speaks of man’s intelligence having levels of effectiveness. The greater the intelligence, the higher the scale and the greater the increase of effectiveness.

In it’s essence, energy is the exhibition of Mind or Will. Everything is sustained by this omnipotent intelligence. As an individual, the degree of intelligence I have to control modes of action and adjust myself to my environment, I determine how much power I have to manifest my vision.

Vision, Faith and Service with Thought

Haanel asserts that the world is on the eve of a new consciousness, a new power, and a new realization within the self. Considering he wrote this in the early 20’s, and knowing what we know now, I’d say he was correct. Online, we hear word that we are in the “information age.” Others are now speaking that we’re actually moving into the “transformation age.” Thought is being liberated and truth is rising full orbed before an astonished multitude.

“Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” – The Bible

Obedience and Thought

To my understanding, the greatest minds are those who adjust and recognize that there is an existing order in Universal Mind. We are in harmony with this Mind when we recognize the order and work with it. As we do, this Mind harmonizes with our mind.

The following are ways we can be in thought harmony

1. Recognize Natural Laws and we possess great power
2. Know Universal intelligence permeates all things and can be called into action and responds to every demand.
3. Thought is creative and originates in Universal Mind, which is the source and foundation of all energy and substance.
4. We are channels of distribution for this energy
5. We are the various combinations for phenomena, depending on the vibration

6. Universal Thought made human beings who were transformed into beings who think, know , feel and act.
7. Proper understanding gives us access to communication with Universal Mind.
8. Science has proven concepts to become “facts”, so they become practical and therefore need not attach “belief” to them.
9. Facts are living Faith and Truth.
10. Facts are tested well and useful to mankind. e.g. telescope

11. Practical knowledge of the law of attraction shows atoms being attracted to each other in infinite degrees of intensity.
12. The purpose of existence is for the combining to the ends of things which are brought together and is carried into effect in this way.
13. Growth is met in the beautiful manner through the instrumentality of Universal principle.
14. To grow, we need the essentials. We are complete already. Because of this, in order to receive, we must give.
15. Growth’s conditioned on reciprocal action on the mental plane. Like attracts like.

16. Mental vibrations respond to the extent of their vibrational harmony.
e.g. thoughts of abundance respond to similar thoughts.
17. Wealth of an individual is seen to be what he inherently is. Affluence within is found to be the secret of attraction for affluence without.
18. The ability to produce is found to be the real source of wealth of the individual.
19. When you have an authentic purpose, your heart is in it. Because of this, you will produce greatly and affluence is the effect.
20. As we give and continually give, the more we give, the more we receive.

The Domain of Causation and Thought

The domain of causation is the highest evolution of human consciousness. Where air is the energy that keeps our human body alive, thought is the energy that keeps the spirit alive.

The Sweet Spot of Thought

When we get to the place of “the wonder of how it’s going to happen,” we have a great understanding of the harmony of thought with Universal Mind. Understanding the domain of causation is the intelligence Haanel starts Chapter 18 off with.

Week 17 Trading in My Graven Images For Just Being

The Images And Being Me

The Master Key Chapter 17

Graven Images

We of the twentieth century worship a God of Love in theory, but in practice we make for ourselves “graven images” of Wealth,” “Power,” “Fashion,” “Custom” and “Conventionality.” We “fall down” before them and worship them. We concentrate on them and they are thereby externalized in our lives. The Master Key Pt. 17 Intro.

Any person of intelligence must have checked on himself to be sure they are worshiping the correct thing. In the 17th chapter of The Master Key, we’re cautioned as students not to mistake the symbols for the reality. We’re to be interested in the causes, rather than effects, concentrating on the realities of life, and then not be disappointed in the results.

What Images Are You Focusing On?

As we who have dominion of all things, it makes sense that our mental world is the keeper of that dominion. The kinds of images I focused on this week varied. I do believe most of them were in keeping with my definite chief aim. Focusing on love in all things, I wrote “Brincely The Brave”, a story about the courageous life of a newborn baby. In previous posts, I shared that part of my DMP was realized on a Christmas visit with my family.

Concentration, we’re told is much misunderstood. There seems to be an idea of effort or activity associated with it. Haanel says it’s in forgetting our self and instead embracing the character we are playing. As I wrote the story, I concentrated on words that in the future those reading it would be inspired by. Was it work? Well, I was inspired by much of it. The work came in the activity of adding photos. Creating a book uses time. I enjoyed the vision of Brincely looking at pictures of himself in the book, as his Mommy read the words aloud. The story is meant to inspire all of us.

The Images of Brincely

I reflected on my grandson to check to see if he was a graven image I worship. I decided that he is a darling boy and that I worship the love I receive from his smile, from his movements. I am so excited that one day very soon, he’ll gain his freedom and run around the house chasing kitty cats!

Images We Cry For

“There is always the cry “to have” but never the cry “to be”. We’re taught that we cannot have one with out the other, that we must first find the “kingdom” before we have the “things added.” A little boy cries to have his needs met. I know I have whined at times to God to have my needs met too! However, I am learning to see myself as one who already attained those things I desire. I am practicing “being” that person. Then there is only the demand (the having attained) and the surplus (the manifestation).

Here is the PDF file of “Brincely the Brave” for you to read. It’s 31 pages with lots of large pictures. Please give me feedback on it in the comment section. It’s always appreciated. The story is simple and there is a moral. Brincely is born brave. In order for him to accomplish all he has in his first year, he must see himself (the kingdom) as already having attained it. Let’s learn to be brave and give ourselves permission to “be” who we desire. Then all of what we want will be added unto us. If a newborn can do it, then it should be easy for us! Right?

If you like this, perhaps you would like this!

I had a nun in high school who gave me a poster before I graduated that said “Don’t just stand there! BE”. Though the images of her are vague, the reality of her words have echoed in me for many years and I believe she knew something I had yet to learn.

Week 16 – The Cycles of Life That Get Better And Better

Cycles of Life Begin here.

The Master key Part 16

Life Cycles

This weeks reading about the cycles of life as stated in Haanel’s The Master Key, reminds me of the studies a friend did on the biblical calendar. Each month represented a different phase of life and the biblical scholars of that time lived by the cycles.

The Master Key Part 16 Introduction states:

“Those familiar with these cycles will not be disturbed when things seem to go wrong, but can apply the principle outlined in these lessons with the full assurance that a higher law will invariably control all other laws, and that through an understanding and conscious operation of spiritual laws, we can convert every seeming difficulty into a blessing.”

From what I’ve read, the years past 49 of the Septimal law (cycles of 7 years), are periods of reconstruction, adjustment and recuperation and then harmony.

The Millennium Cycles

Our later years include a time of harmony which anyone gaining on 50 will have opportunity to experience in these life cycles. Though it seems also that at this age, the time past raising of children, for the most part, it begins a time of new beginnings. This should be very exciting for this age group. How many of you at this age sees your life in this way though?

New Beginning Cycles of Harmony

When we are born, during the 1st cycle of life, we are in harmony, due to the miracle began at birth. Og Mandino states:

“I can accomplish far more than I have , and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today? I am nature’s greatest miracle. I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.”

We’re told that many great works were done by men and women after the first 7 cycles of life. This new millennium or new beginning after the age of 50 is actually a time of reassessing our harmony and having the faith of a child at Christmas!

2 Life Cycles — Brincely The Brave In his first of many life cycles!

A child’s courage at birth and infancy is astounding. My grandson Brincely in his first year of life, opened his eyes boldly, cried out and was fed, smiled and learned how to please others with his love. He strove to eat by himself, speak a new language, control his body parts, crawl and stand by himself, explore every part of his body, with his chief aim to be free of the floor, his vision is to walk and run everywhere and anywhere! I imagine his PPN is liberty and recognition for creative expression!

While a child’s first year is a challenge, even an infant has the courage and stamina to gain leverage on life. He knows not defeat. It becomes easier each year to overcome the difficulties. Knowing we were once under one year of age, what more can a person upwards of 50 do? Perhaps we can find a child to be our mentor and learn from him.

I wonder if my daughter has told her Brincely that he’s nature’s greatest miracle. Does he just know it? Will it become covered over in time as so many of us experienced? Not on my watch!

The First and Eight Cycles

I identify with my grandson as we are both in similar cycles of life. It’s a new beginning for us both. We are nature’s greatest miracle. And nature knows not defeat. Eventually, she emerges victorious and so will we, and with each victory the next struggle becomes less difficult. We are whole perfect strong powerful loving harmonious and happy.

Wealth and Cycles

While Brincely receives toys, which are the utility of exchange value, the real wealth for us both is the exchange value; his smiles and love and my hugs and affection towards him. My chief aim in life is not to give him toys, which are tangible and measurable. But to develop a relationship with him that goes beyond the toys, one that is eternal. A relationship which lasts through all our life cycles.

True Harmony and Happiness

One day, each of us having been an example for each other, I’ll move on and he will take my place as the greatest salesman in his world. His smiles, love, affection, health, truth, and abundance will carry on the legacy of love God intends for us all. But for now, I’ll sell my heart to him with all I’ve got! And we will dance around the room singing silly songs about something we just did!

Week 15 -Courage Is From The Beginning

Courage begins here!

The Master Key Chapter 15

What is courage?

The dictionary definition of courage is:

the ability to do something that frightens one.

“he called on all his courage to face the ordeal”

strength in the face of pain or grief.

It was suggested in our Master Key class that we watch one of 4 movies over the holiday. It took me a couple weeks to find a version of “Rudy”, a story of a young man’s dream to play on the Notre Dame football team. A true gem of a movie, the story shares the typical plot of the dreamer who overcomes the odds.

This weeks assignment included the “Franklin Makeover”, in which we are to fill in a sheet with the virtues we desire most to attain to a greater degree. Well, first on my list was “courage”. Very timely, the story of “Rudy” coincided perfectly with demonstration after demonstration of this virtue shown through the “heart” of this young 5ft 9in student with lower than average grade performance.

Demonstrating Courage

Needless to say folks, I was “bawling at the end of the movie”. So moved by the combination of plot, the faces of the onlookers, and the music, I felt the divine inside me saying “now that’s what I’m talkin about!!!!”

I’m recovering from a long stint of “under the weather body discord”. This week promises a healthy body with courage to lead me through our reading and exercises.

Brincely Yawning Like a Lion With Courage

Courage is from the beginning

I’ve mentioned in my previous post that part of my dmp was realized and along with it an inspiration for a children’s book starring my grandson Brincely. This children’s book about the courage of a new born as he enters the unknown world of parents, siblings, environment and circumstances began with a manifestation of a silly song I wrote spur of the moment about something Brincely just did. My imagination is taking me further down this path and I can now see the cover photo which I posted above.

The song went like this:

Brincely the brave… lionhearted

Brincely the brave… lionhearted

Brincely the brave… lionhearted

He’s the bravest lion in the jungle… Rrrrroooaaarrr!!!

Notice the babies mouth! It’s open as though a lion roaring! He is my pride and joy. Brincely the Brave! He has a lions heart! I’m so proud of his courage and he’s just beginning his courageous life!

It takes no apparent difficulties for a baby to have courage. But babyhood requires trust, love, patience and courage. You and I were born with courage. Young Rudy in the recommended movie was born with courage. Something inside of us is saying “now that’s what I’m talkin about!!!” That spirit is YOUR SPIRIT! The infinite heart of each baby, child, adult and elder.

We were all born with a tremendous amount of courage.

Week 14 – Holiday Highlights And Harmony

Haanel Harmony and Holiday Highlights

Chapter 14

The Holidays were spent traveling out of state for a week. Here is a sign we passed that reminded me of MKMMA! All of you came with me on my trip! I brought everything for class with me. My daughters house is great! First time I saw it live! Some of the experiences I’d placed on my dmp were met. Creativity and conversations in the kitchen, spending time with everyone together and playing with my grandson.

My dmp: “pick up my grandson and dance around the kitchen singing him a silly song I wrote spur of the moment about something he just did.”

He’s not yet a year, so what he does is limited but I decided to sing him a song based on what Og calls each of us! “A LION”.

Writing A Book For Brincely

“Brincely the Brave”theme song goes like this: Brincely the brave, lionhearted…He’s the bravest lion in the jungle “Rooaaarrrr”. Inspired, I sat on the bed with my tablet and began writing about the bravery of a new born and how every day they must be brave! Everything they do requires strength, trust, power and love. Brincely is the happiest child I know! He has become my mentor for happiness and courage. This book will inspire all age adults to remember how much courage like a lion they once had!

I believe the end of the book will include the statement “I am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving harmonious and happy!”

Other Highlights

I printed out Chapter 14 work at a Staples in Ohio, and as far as I know did not bring it home with me. So this week, I listened to the recording I made (available above) one evening while there, and read my content online. Upon returning from my trip, I became physically below my best and have been in bed for the week. Nights pressed on me with many uncomfortable thoughts, and Ibuprofen was my remedy along with “God as life”, in which I proclaimed the affirmation from Emmot Fox, “Thank you God that your nature is my perfect remedy.”

I Am Whole Perfect Strong Powerful Loving Harmonious and Happy Highlights

Harmony Highlights Exercise of the Week

For your exercise this week, concentrate on Harmony, and when I say concentrate, I mean all that the word implies; concentrate so deeply, so earnestly, that you will be conscious of nothing but harmony. Remember, we learn by doing. Reading these lessons will get you nowhere. It is in the practical application that the value consists.

Stopped for Food Brochure Highlights

As for my personal harmony, so much of me felt great! I loved being with my children, who I desire to see monthly. I stayed in a great guest room all my own. My former spouse drove me out to Ohio and back. Not my ideal, but I decided I would see him as my chauffeur. I slept most of the way in the back seat.

My youngest daughter joined us for 6 of the 9 hr ride. When I returned home it was “get back to regular routine”. As I write the following I search for the words to say it with “confidence”: my body began releasing irritation from my nose, in my head and chest and tickled my throat! Wow! That is that! And now I’m standing on the promise of being whole!

Recovery Highlights

Here’s a picture of my lake house plans which is in my DMP. I decided to spend my bed rest doing something constructive!

Week 12 Educated Desire

December 18, 2014Blog, Demand, Thoughtsalliance, concentration, demand, desire, masterkey, mastermind, mkmma, surplus, thoughtCaryn Elizabeth

God brings vibration — Desire Brings Us Into High Vibration

How can our desire be educated?

Haanel says in The Master Key “Educated desire is the most potent means of bringing into action the law of attraction. If you are in our MKMMA course, you will have learned that God assists us in bringing into operation the law of attraction, which brings us into vibration with forces which make for success and brings about conditions of power and affluence. This power and affluence is in direct proportion with the character and purpose of our affirmation.

So what educated desire do you have?

It’s been suggested that a very large percentage of people have weak desire. In years past, while I was young and immature, I has some strong desires but they were few and far between. They were strong for a short time and then shifted to something else I wanted. Knowing what I know now, I suggest you take a serious look at what you desire and how persistent you are at seeing it through to completion.

Persistence and Desire

These 2 principles go hand and hand but one comes before the other. What I was missing in my youth was a strong desire that I persistently held until I succeeded. In school. I loved art and did persist in it. Being creative, I stumbled upon talents in many areas of art. I was encouraged to pursue it in college. What I remember from my childhood, was my love for teaching and that desire stayed with me, though primarily on the inside, until I felt mature enough to have something to teach. I loved teaching children and knew I had enough knowledge to do that. I pursued a Montessori certificate and knew I was in sync with my teaching gift!

Good habits create greater freedom — Strong desire creates greater freedom

Strong Desire

When I moved out of state due to a traumatic experience, I decided to pursue teaching Montessori in NJ while living with my parents. The requirements differed from Florida and I was expected to create whole books of exercises I was not required to do in Florida. I decided to take an easier route and look for another job. My weak desire and a feeling of financial pressure carried me into a billing office job. Before long, I knew my job but it was nothing like teaching those little children how to read.

Many years have passed. I married, had children and home-schooled them using the stills I’d been taught in my Montessori training. My love for teaching persisted. Of late, I teach leadership skills to the teachable, moldable plastic minds of individuals on the lookout for coaching in relationship marketing. Teaching has turned to coaching and my desire has grown more focused.

Focused Desire

Old or young, we all have a great opportunity to turn our dreams into reality. Yet, a weak desire for these dreams will take us down the stream to poverty. Do you want to know the secret to riches? To wealth? To success? STRONG BURNING DESIRE!

How do we get a burning desire?

Begin now to create the necessary brain cells which will enable you to comprehend the unlimited powers which may be yours by cooperating with natural law. This is done by concentration or attention.

Haanel writes “The intention governs the attention.” Power comes through repose (a state of rest, sleep, or tranquility). It’s by concentration that deep thoughts , wise speech, and all forces of high potentiality are accomplished.”

God's way to imagine — God’s way to imagine is with desire

My Burning Desire

In plain English, we’re taught that this part of the process, which means “sitting” still for 15-30 minutes a day in quiet contemplation and even in quieting the mind. As we adjust our self to the deeper forces at work inside us and giving ourselves over to this “infinite intelligence”, we begin to allow the unfolding of creative ideas. Using our creative imagination, we may enjoy a pretty scene where a dear friend sits with us and we chat about life. We may take a walk or a run with Jesus or a mentor we have learned from in the past. Later, our concentration on this deep rest will reveal ideas to us. It will most definitely affirm us in some way.

Recently in my sit, I was encouraged to take on the name “Caryn The Courageous”. This triggered for me an idea for a book. It is burning desire and concentration on observing and listening that helps us control and direct our thoughts toward prosperous directions.

Demand and Desire

Science speaks of demand and surplus. Our burning desire is like “demand” in science. When there is a demand placed out there in the universe and burning inside us, our subconscious mind has no other course than to find the surplus to meet that demand. Natural law is set up to do this.

Today, realize that God assists us in bringing into operation the law of attraction bringing us into vibration with forces which make for success and brings about conditions of power and affluence. These will be in direction proportion with the character and purpose of the affirmation.

So what is your affirmation? If it’s a strong desire, it means you will be passionate about it. This passion is a feeling the subconscious mind recognizes as a high vibration. High vibrations get met first! So find a strong desire (your definite major purpose) , affirm it out loud over and over, daily, and the manifestation of it will sneak up behind you, chase you down and run you over!

“See if I will not pour out a blessing too numerous for you to contain.” The Bible

Week 8 – How To Imagine Your Way To Success

The Master Key Chapter 8

How To Imagine Your Way To Success Podcast

Success by Sitting

At first, I resisted sitting. I didn’t understand what it was for. I had always been taught that meditating was for the purpose of emptying my mind. With all that I have now learned about how to imagine my way to success, thinking while imagining my worthy ideal is my connection to God.

Chapter 8 of The Master Key shifted my belief in “sitting” for 15-30 minutes a day in order to realize my dreams. In this weeks podcast, I explain how to imagine your way to success using sitting, imagining, idealization, and creating the next step with each sit!

After 8 weeks of MKMMA, I finally saw the need for exercising the mental muscle while sitting for 15-30 minutes a day. In the first week, we were to begin lifting a little mental weight. Doing this by faith, we didn’t know for what purpose. Each week, the weights became heavier and the class goal was to become strong enough to realize the power of sitting as a necessary step in idealizing to success, our major definite purpose.

Lifting Weights for Success

Of course, the sitting was to exercise our mental muscles. We realize now that it’s in being in complete control of that muscle, that we can direct the “lifting”. We are encouraged to lift up our ideals instead of weights. Using our imagination, we load up our barbell with the successful life. We include weights of the ideal life, business, invention, etc.. In time, we add more weights, like the people in our life, the perfect business partner, the ideal conditions of an invention, etc..

In this audio podcast, I explain the process. Let me encourage you and assist you in keeping up with sitting daily for 15-30 minutes. Ideally, we spend our leisure hours contemplating our vision as well. Below are some key paragraphs from The Master Key, for your reference.

How To Imagine Your Way To Success Podcast

Master Key Success Statements

20. Real power comes from within. All power that anybody can possibly use is
within man, only waiting to be brought into visibility by his first recognizing it, and then affirming it as his, working it into his consciousness until he becomes one with it.

22. All mistakes are but the mistakes of ignorance. Knowledge gaining and
consequent power is what determines growth and evolution. The recognition and
demonstration of knowledge is what constitutes power, and this power is spiritual
power, and this spiritual power is the power which lies at the heart of all things; it
is the soul of the universe.

24. Successful men make it their business to hold ideals of the conditions which
they wish to realize. They constantly hold in mind the next step necessary to the ideal for which they are striving. Thoughts are the materials with which they build, and the imagination is their mental workshop. Mind is the ever-moving force with which they secure the persons and circumstance necessary to build their success structure, and imagination is the matrix in which all great things are fashioned.

25. If you have been faithful to your ideal, you will hear the call when
circumstances are ready to materialize your plans and results will correspond in the exact ratio of your fidelity to your ideal. The ideal steadily held is what predetermines and attracts the necessary conditions for its fulfillment.

26. It is thus that you may weave a garment of spirit and power into the web of
your entire existence; it is thus that you may lead a charmed life and be forever protected from all harm; it is thus that you may become a positive force whereby conditions of opulence and harmony may be attracted to you.

29. It is the few who know that the things which they see are only effects, and
understand the causes by which these effects were brought into existence.

Week 5 – How Your Mind Shapes What Matters To You

October 28, 2014Blog, Thoughtsmaster mind, masterkey, mastermind, matter, mind, mind over matter, mkmma, selfCaryn Elizabeth

What is on your mind?

“The Master Key, Part 5”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Charles Haanel states this about mind:

Exerpt from “The Master Key, Part 5” on the power of the mind

Therefore, this is a creative age, and the world is awarding its richest prizes to the thinkers. Matter is powerless, passive, inert. Mind is force, energy, power. Mind shapes and controls matter. Every form which matter takes is but the expression of some pre-existing thought. But thought works no magic transformations; it obeys natural laws; it sets in motion natural forces; it releases natural energies; it manifests in your conduct and actions, and these in turn react upon your friends and acquaintances, and eventually upon the whole of your environment. You can originate thought, and, since thoughts are creative, you can create for yourself the things you desire.

What’s on my mind matters!

I have looked to the world without too long. What I found was everyone else’s idea of what I should do after I got divorced. I looked to God in my room and sat by the window on my wicker rocking chair. Part of me became engaged in an intense conversation with God. Part of me saw my circumstances and trembled at the idea of living with the “D” across my chest. As a christian, I had this idea that I must not have been trusting God and that’s why I was in this predicament. My view was skewed by my past beliefs and I was very mixed up.

How was it that I felt so empowered on the streets of NYC praying for healing and them getting the results of my prayer; while in my room, I felt crippled to heal myself? This uncertainty became tiring and I would come away from those conversations thinking that I had no power.

What was the matter with my mind?

What mattered was that something inside me would not give up trying. Yes, at that time I knew to “try”… not being certain, since I did not trust myself to hear correctly or have good habits of thinking in place. Many in my MKMMA class can testify to this, I’m sure. But I didn’t know that to try meant I lacked certainty. In the bible it means, I could not expect to receive anything if I were to think that trying in prayer was believing. Actually, I believed God but didn’t make the connection that God in me and me in Him meant that what I wanted was mine because he gives to us liberally. Somehow, I missed that part! haha!

Still scattered without soundness of mind and good habits, I continued stumbling forward and backward. Like a child learning to walk without holding on, I fell down so many times. Later, I learned to believe with more “certainty”. Nature and instinct had a better plan and I am prompted to admit that I have come so far that I can now “RUN”.

Matters of the mind

Reading self growth books, listening to podcasts and watching videos, I gathered quite a quiver of arrows. My target is in sight. Creative effort has taken the place of competition. I discovered messages like this one from “The Master Key, part 5, number 2

2. The subconscious can and will solve any problem for us if we know how to direct it. The subconscious processes are always at work; the only question is, are we to be simply passive recipients of this activity, or are we to consciously direct the work? Shall we have a vision of the destination to be reached, the dangers to be avoided, or shall we simply drift?

My subconscious mind has the answers

I am learning how the subconscious mind is working. The only part I still need to embrace is how to work with the “I” in me to assist creating the change I desire for my life. The processes are always at work and I know I must be active to reach my destination.

I have come to believe so far that my action steps are:

1. Choose habits of good feeling thoughts to avoid discord
2. Approach my circumstances with belief that my purpose is being realized NOW.
3. Neglect not the truth that the subconscious mind is always at work promoting good to all.
4. Practice being the observer: envision in my mind what I am thinking.

Mind over Matter

What I think about I bring about. Wow! What a responsibility! If you feel overwhelmed by that, you’re not without friends. So let’s look at “responsibility” another way; the “ability” to “respond. ” We have been given what “The Greatest Salesman in the World” by Og Mandino says. ‘Nature and instinct are already inside us’. Yes, all we need is within us NOW. What’s needed is orderly control. Being scattered about abundance, I came to realize all the past beliefs I held we in conflict with God, who is all about advancement for all. These false beliefs came from absorbing the generational beliefs about wealth, poverty, sin and righteousness.

I had two grandmothers. My financially poor grandma lived a block from school and because she was always home, she was always there for me. She gave me quality time and tea and toast after school when I was too tired to walk the mile home. My wealthy grandma lived three towns away and in my mind too busy for me. In my mind, my sister, the oldest of seven children, was the only one she gave quality time to. Because my poor gram lived nearby and was always home, I associated that with love. This added ammo to by belief in her love for me. What I believed was not entirely true. Yet, until I exposed this belief as an adult, my inside created circumstances to support my false claim.

What my Mind thought about Wealth

With stories mom told me about my wealthy Grandma and her dislike of mom, I gathered more evidence against my supposed wealthy Grandmother. And as you can guess, I formed beliefs about wealth as well as love, from that. Glad for the knowledge of the truth, I can see the truth about abundance without the scattered confusion over love as it is connected with a wealthy lifestyle. Wow.. it’s a challenge. I am careful to use my most supportive words to share this with you because I choose to form good feeling thoughts and habits about love and abundance. I am finally the observer, being deliberate to change my minds’ vocabulary. I also am using index cards with confidence builder statements on them to reinforce that “I always keep my promises”. This promise statement is connected to other statements I read to reinforce that God loves me and desires me to be wealthy so I can spread this love and abundance message. This is truth!

Will you become a lighthouse for your mind?

Poverty of the Mind

No longer is man in the dark, but by human discovery of the power of mind thought, he may come out into the sunshine and be the light of the world. Let my words shine some light into the dark spots in you and together we may help each other stand up on that hill and shine our lights so all may see where the rocks and shoreline are, as we navigate to the safety of the harbor.
