Phil:
Again, thank you for all the techniques and links you provided. I will definitely try those one by one. Now I know my number one priority is to "Feel Good". I will try different techniques and see which work for me better personnally and I will remind myself constantly to feel good is the key.

quote:

"The desire for riches is really the desire for a bigger and more abundant life, which is in alignment with our nature. As humans, we are an extension of the same nature that governs plants, animals and everything in the universe. Everything in nature goes through natural cycles and seems to thrive when allowed to.

If you accept that nature is constantly looking to evolve and expand, then it follows that we too, are looking to do the same, being an extension of that nature. Therefore, It's completely natural to have the desire for riches.

Angelo:
Thank you for your explanation to the "why do we need to get rich" question. You are so right, Life is seeking bigger, abundant, expanding, evolving itself. It's the truth and nature of the whole Universe. We human being are also no exception, we are seeking to live, expand, fullfilling dreams, free to enjoy abundant life etc. Anything coflict with this universal law will make us feel "unhappy", anything with this law will make us "feel happy". It's our birth right to be rich and I believe we all need to claim this right without fear and excuse bravely. Thanks for remind me this.

But does anybody really have "constantly" good responses from universe(formless), because, if the theory works, it should work all the time, all the dreams should be able to come true daily, monthly, yearly.... not just once a while, universe give you a surprise, then wait, then other requests didn't show up, then some show up etc.... This surprising response from universe(formless) cause people to lose faith and wondering why some request to universe come true but some don't. I never heard anyone can make "all" his requests come true all the time, just wondering WHY.

IMHO,
I think I understand why you ask this. Here are my thoughts.

There are several factors at work that can cause the "surprising" seemingly random response from the universe.

1) The universe is a very complex place. The easiest way for your riches to come to you are through established channels. Sometimes the established channels are slower than other times. Remember in the book when Wattles says that it takes decades to manifest a tree because the established channel is that the tree grows from a seed over years, and years? If you ask for a specific thing, and that thing does not yet exist, or is not currently on a path to you, then it may take a while for it to show up at your doorstep.

2) Your feelings about whatever you have requested may be conflicted. The exercises in the beginning of Rebecca's course are designed to help you notice and release some of the resistance we all have to receiving what we want. If you have internal blockages, you may be telling the universe the equivalent of "yes -- I mean no, I mean yes -- I mean no." That's not an effective way to order a pizza, let alone your heart's desires.

3) You may not have strong enough feelings associated with your wish. The book says that "vague desires" are not strong enough to effectively ask the formless for what you want. Most practitioners of the Law of Attraction will tell you to be very detailed in your desires. Rebecca says that this is because vague desires are simply too boring to get us excited for very long. Strong feelings like excitement,joy, bliss seem to be crucial or at at least very helpful in properly asking for what you want. Most of us get more excited over details -- perhaps because they make it seem more real.

4) Gratitude is absolutely essential in staying connected to the formless. Rebecca's analogy about the electrical wires is wonderful. She says that the black wire may be fully connected and strong, but no power will flow unless the white wire is also fully connected. The black wire is the universe trying with all it's infinite power to give you what you want, but if you lack gratitude, the white wire is broken and no power (or riches) will be able to flow to you.

5) Any focus on lack or giving a lot of attention and emotion to what you don't want will definitely block your wishes. You get what you give your focus, faith and feeling to. If that is stress, fear, and lack, then you will receive more of the same.

6) Lack of faith can also get in the way. When we begin to doubt, we start looking for evidence. Although there is plenty of evidence to support the truth of SOGR, it is very easy to say there is no definitive proof. And, there are always plenty of people who "failed" at SOGR and will tell everyone that it doesn't work. It doesn't work -- if you don't actually do it. Reading the book and taking some of it's suggestions is not a fair trial. You have to do the whole system.

7) Stay out of the how. The universe is much better at the logistics of getting our riches to us than we are. We lack the proper perspective. Imagine if you were ordering a pizza, but you insisted that the delivery guy had to go the long way to get to your house. It would take longer for the pizza to get to you, wouldn't it? The same is true for all our wishes. If we try to work out all the details of exactly how things will work out, we are almost certainly slowing the process way down. Be clear about what you want, but allow it to come any way it pleases.

The SOGR is deceptively simple. Life really can be fun and easy. You really can have all your heart's desires. But it wont work at all if you skip steps. Here is my simplified version of the steps to SOGR. Whenever you think it's not working, check to make sure you are actually doing all of them.

1) Be happy
2) know what you want (how would you feel if you already had it?)
3) Be grateful
4) Do your daily work with the cheerful knowledge that your wishes are coming
5) Do those activities that are fun, exciting, and feel wonderful (sometimes they're related to your CMI, sometimes not.)

Even though these steps seem simple, there are an astonishing number of ways we can find to not do them. When I have trouble with any of them, or I feel discouraged, doubtful, or afraid, I consult these forums for advice on how to release blockages and feel better. Fortunately, as you know, there are lots of wonderful ways to release blockages and cultivate happiness and gratitude, and lots of wonderful people who can help guide us.

Love and blessings,
Rachel

Hello IMHO: The answer is yes; if you align with your desires they all come true; actually they are true as soon as you desire them.
Some request don't show up because we don't align with them. We don't enter at once in full enjoyment of our desire.

Rachel guidelines to align with them are very good. Are you willing to follow them to the letter? because only then you could say if they work or no.

Lots of love

Rachel:
Thank you for the simplified version of the steps, this become very handy. The opinions of why our order sometime show-up and sometime don't, are understandable and reasonable. I agree lot of time our requested to universe(formless) are vague and we expected those orders to be delivered. If we don't get it, we "blame" the universe didn't deliver to us. I will remind myself to send out pure, clear, unambiguous order to universe in the future.

Be happy, joy to all

What exactly is freedom? I sometimes wonder if people are talking about two different things while using the same term, this "freedom".

Good question, thanks for asking this.

There are different level of freedom. Since we are 3-folds being, all these three folds need to be satisfied in order to be happy. body/mind/spirit all need to have "freedom" in order for human being to be happy.

To me and lot of people, body need to be free is the first step. Unfortunately, lot of us had been trapped into the "body freedom" by JOB/family/addiction/drug/alcohol etc..... in different ways.

Best wish to all,
-IMHO

It is a great question by Teruchan. Some people however may feel that their dream job does give them immense freedom, perhaps more freedom than they've ever had. I think working is good for us, as long as we love the "work" we do and it makes us FEEL great.

Recently I started doing Mark Joyner's "Viral Marketing" Course (BTW - Mark Joyner is offering his new simpleology 202 course for free - and it's quite good), and I find the word "viral" quite unpleasand, so I now call this type of marketing, "Sunshine Marketing".

It feels as though it's now time to change our predisposition to negativity (it's all in the detail)

I think I understand what IMHO is trying to say. Some success writers, more than others, simplify things to the point that they give the impression that a person with no job, no business or any real world means of generating income, can sit and meditate, feel good, or achieve bliss and piles of money will constantly fall from the sky.

SOGR, of course, does not say that. It has an entire chapter called Getting Into The Right Business. It has instructions for what employees and wage earners must so. It tells us that when things come to us, they will be in the hands of others. It says we are not to take it as charity nor to steal it. It speaks of established channels and natural growth.

Getting into the right vibration or that good feeling may open you to channels which may be sitting right in front of you everyday, but that you do not see because of the state you are currently in.

To answer the question why we need money......

For me it's four reasons,

1. To always be advancing
2. To be able to use all the resources and tools at my disposal.
3. To help provide for family and friends who are unable to for whatever reasons.
4. To be an inspiration to others to help them believe that they also have the same resources and capabilities within themselves.

Appreciation from the Heart,
