Last one.

I have done my bit to move the negativity off the FRONT PAGE.
Here is another piece that may help some of you.

The unfortunate thing, not learning about the power early in our lives, is that many people leave searching for it until they are in a dodgy situation. Of course it still works, but like anything in life, if you are desperate it is harder to catch. Banks are very similar to life, you have to convince them that you do not need any money, before they will consider lending it to you. That is one of the secrets about asking the power for anything. Ask for it as something that you want, but do not need. It is that relaxed state that the power really responds to. If you ask with desperation, the signal that you are sending out is desperation, and all you attract is more of the same. When you are truly convinced as to the workings of the power it is so much easier. I found in the early days that I had this little voice in the back of my mind, trying to belittle all my requests and telling me that it was all hogwash. As you can imagine I got no results at all and it was very frustrating. This is the part that you really have to work at. If you are not totally convinced that you are going to receive what you ask for, then your thoughts of doubt actually negate the request. When I was convinced that I had a handle on the workings of the power, I wrote down my vision.

At the time of writing my vision, I was not in a comfortable position. That was not on a day to day basis, but my pending old age looked decidedly bleak. I wrote out a vision that had me owning a portfolio of property, plenty of time to myself, travel, influential friends, passive income and strangest of all, it had me in some way spreading this message. When I looked at it for the first time in many years the other day, it was scary as to how close that vision had unfolded in my life.

Hi Croz,

Thank you for the inspiring post!!

Your vision that you have manifested into your life is simular to the one that I am manifesting into my life. My ultimate CMI is described in my post on LL28 & 28a.

Be good to yourself and expect success!!

Croz, you never cease to amaze me. This makes total sense. You're right-as usual. Being all bottled up and frustrated will not help us to receive our CMI.

But I have a question for you. The Word (the bible) says that God meets all our needs. Phil. 4:19 So how does what you shared here equate with what His Word says?

I understand your analogy of the bank not giving us money unless we convince them we don't need it. But not going to Him with our needs doesn't agree with what I've been taught. Teachers of the ministry I was with propounded this to us on a regular basis.

Is it possible this is why I've had such a hard time receiving my CMI? I'm not saying I will stop believing what the Word says, but is what man has taught me been negating all my efforts?

I'd love your and anyone else's input on this. Thanks.

Hi Clairetta

My thoughts are that as humans we have made things very difficult. We were given a brain to be logical, and we turned it into a machine that is anything but logical.
It is our birthright to have ALL we desire and as very young children, we do not disagree. Think back to your vivid imagination, when you played games, you were anything you wanted to be. Your mind was fertile and anything that you imagined, was possible , WAS possible. As we grow older, we are told and taught that life is meant to be hard and not to expect anything to come easy. By the time we are young adults, everything we want to do becomes almost immpossible. This of course is not true, it is just programming over the interim years with wrong information. The reason this is done and always has been done is so that we can be controlled. Imagine the'envisioned' trouble of trying to control a world full of, Donald Trumps, Bill Gates, Winston Churchills, Dale Carnegie, Tiger Woods, Oprahs etc.... These are all very successful opinionated people and in all cases have more ability and sense than most of the world leaders and government representatives put together. It makes sense then, to as much as possible keep these people to a minimum. Trust me the only difference between all the aforementioned people and you, is the fact that they BELIEVED their vision and went out to get it.Their percieved knowledge and intelligence, has come because they believed in themselves and as they got more evidence, of how powerful you become when the universe delivers what you want, they kept asking for more. Eventually all the negative programming disappears, and they finally realise that THEY have total control over their lives.

Try telling an acorn that it will not become a mighty oak!

Sometimes I look at my cat and I imagine what he is thinking and I laugh as I imagine him worrying about a mortgage, or how he is going to pay the kittens school fees etc.. because I know, that all he is thinking, is when is his next meal being delivered, and where shall I lie?, in the sun, or in the shade. He has no negative thoughts applicable to his life, and any problems are dealt with as they occur, he definitely does not lie there stressing out over things that MAY happen.

We can learn an awful lot from nature. The reason that nature stays in perfect harmony, is that no one is telling it, that it cannot do what it was put here to do.

We as the intelligent force of nature, spend our lives telling each other what we cannot do. As soon as you realise the power of the universe applicable to delivering your desires, your whole life will change. Once again we have to combat incorrect programming telling us to expect INSTANT results. Just look at nature and how some things happen immediately, and some things take years and years. Look at the tiny sapling that is eventually going to become our mighty oak, he is hundreds of years from achieving his potential, is he worried by this? Of course not its what oaks do. Then observe a mosquito, his entire life is lived in a couple of hours, is he worried? NO, because it's what mosquitos do.

The reason we all have difficulty accepting that we can have what we want, is because, we are trying to be objective about what can happen, with all the incorrect information that tells us that it is immpossible. Do as Wally suggests, take all this as a given and when you get what you want, if you really are interested in finding out why it worked, go investigate.

You cannot move on from where you are, using the information that got you here. You must take on more knowledge, and trying to prove things or analyse things with all the rubbish that is in your head, is just giving you what you have, TOTAL BLOCKAGE. Move on and just take these teachings as true, do not try and work out how and why they work. Just accept that they do and enjoy the ride. Become an acorn and just know that you will become what you were meant to become.

A word of warning, everytime you think it will not work, Guess What? you will be right.

Hope this helps

Had you said that banks create income by lending money to those whom have collateral, the analogy would have been believed by me.

Basically they follow most of Wattles' strategy to the T.

...but my pending old age looked decidedly bleak.

Rather than looking forward to death, my preference is look backwards on life. It's much easier to manage that way like touching up a nearly complete painting. If death comes in my sleep tonight, the buyers will get over the missing signature.

Per the Bible (for penwright3201) that would read something like this: And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Sorry Isaidso

I do not follow your thoughts on banks and Wattles. Please explain.

Please remove your sorrow. It only serves to distract you.

You created an analogy between banks and life. Just for the sake of analysis of that analogy, please permit me to perform direct substitution:

Paraphrased, you said:
Life is similar to banks. You must convince life that you do not need any money before life will consider lending it to you.

Wattles says (paraphrased):
Give more in USE value than you receive in CASH value.

Banks do: give you cash value plus USE value measured in units of time in trade for collateral to hedge/secure the trust agreement. When one lends from a bank, one purchases time which is more useful than the cash over that same period of time.

Wattles says (paraphrased):
You don't have to make sharp deals.

Banks are more interested in actual wealth than money. Having a negative impression about banks while trying to create wealth is like tying your left and right shoestrings together before running a race.

If you would like to learn about how the Law of Attraction applies to banks, send me a personal. Just as Dr. Gayek reminded in another thread... Wattles failed to detail much action.

Hi Croz,

Your analogy of banks with life is really enjoyable. Thank you for that.

I really think it gets pretty close to how we sometimes fail to align ourselves with the universe because we want something that we think we lack, when in actual fact it is only our thinking that makes it so.

It is something like having the bank lend you money because you have plenty of it. In the same way, life gives more to those who already have abundance! Something that you pointed out so eloquently!

I am grateful!
Kevin
