Lesson 6: Declaration

  I am on lesson six of Simpleology's course, "Dr. Joe Vitale Teaches the Law of Attraction" and today's lesson was about declaring what one does want, after identifying what one does not one. The point being, to focus on the destination and not the current location. This lesson was very effective at coaching me to stretch my ideas of what I thought I wanted, forcing me to dream a little bigger, want just a little more, and finally compiling it all into one succinct declaration of intention.

Here's what I had written when the process was complete, written in the present tense:

"I have a passive income of $250,000 annually, which allows me to be financially free, have excellent credit, own a beautiful home in an upscale neighborhood, enjoy a fabulous fairy tale romantic relationship with my honest, loyal, and responsible African American Prince, and I am able to give my son everything he needs and wants and more, while still being able to do the things that I want, when I want and only work if I choose to. I have all this and better."

And So It Is.

Do The Hustle

  After listening to many of my college educated, highly skilled, and super talented friends talk about difficulty finding a job, and then recently having the experience of being offered a job that was later rescinded, I've come to the conclusion that, we are living in a new era. This generation is going to have to get use to learning to hustle; being a go-get-it, self-starting, free-lancing, on-the-grind hustler. The old world of job applications and interviews is never coming back, so let's accept it, and move on. Now is the time, to take that, "I wish I could be/do...", and BE and DO IT! You've been waiting for, "one day" or the "right time" well guess what, it has arrived. Hope you're ready, and if you're not, oh well, you're already behind so, catch up.

As a mother, I'm feeling the pressure to make sure that my son has the know how to be able to turn his talents into a viable career for himself on his own terms. I'm working hard to eliminate, "I can't" from his vocabulary. If I don't, his future will be bleak and he'll have me to blame. Granted, my son is only 5, but there is no guarantee that a job will be waiting for him and a college degree means nothing these days so I'm not even going to bother saving for it for him. Nah, I'd rather save up to send him to Peak Potentials school, than to university...and that's speaking from experience.

Bottom line, get on your grind, whatever industry you're in or want to be in, find a way to employ yourself now before the lay off notices arrives, because you can bet your 401K, it's coming. . .

The Spirit of this Morning is Upon Me

 Perhaps it is because I am fasting (Day 5 of 21), and my body is more aware and sensitive to Spirit vibrations. All I know is that as I lay in my bed this morning, before opening my eyes, I could literally feel the movement (and weight) of Spirit over and around me. I said in my head, "God is here right now, I feel it." Outside my window, there was no noise at all, I heard no cars hurrying to work, I heard no grinding from the lawn crew that is usually up and att'em keeping the grounds early in the morning. Everything was still, and as the scripture says, "Be still and know..." It was literally as if someone pressed pause on the world around me, quite amazing and difficult to really express in words.

I am eager to receive what this day has in store. With such a powerful morning, I expect powerful and miraculous movement today. Whatever is mine to do, I walk the path with gratitude and ethereal awareness.

Sun Day of Being

   Today was easy like...well.... Sunday morning. My thermostat stopped working so I woke up to an icebox where my floor use to be, (so cold, so cold, so cold) but thankfully I live in South Florida, so even though my tile was freezing, the outside was very nice. The Sunday bus schedule is so limited that getting to church would have been like that movie "16 Blocks", but again, thankfully, the church I would have attended, has a live UStream broadcast, so I was able to attend virtually, from the warmth my bed.

After services, I tackled a few more things that were left on my Simpleology target list including shredding some papers,  the a/c guy came and fixed the thermostat, and I went for a walk around the block, just to get out.

All and all, it was a simple Sun Day of Being. Tonight I'm going to brave another chapter of , "Thought Vibration" by William Walker Atkinson. It was written in the early 1900's, so while it has very good insight on the Law of Attraction, it can be very dense reading because of the old school language.

Its okay, I welcome the challenge.

Vibration, Meditation, and Visualization (Oh My!)

     Today is the 3rd day of a 21- day period of fasting, personal reflection and meditation. Recent events in my life have called for the need for me to eliminate the "noise" in my life; to reevaluate what I want, and what is mine to do at this time in my life. I desire to gain, or rather re-gain control of my mind and my thoughts because I know that everything that happens to me is a result of a thought and/or feeling that I have either consciously or subconsciously. I am beginning to notice that it is more so the subconscious, the unseen, that has me blocked from receiving my good or allowing what I deeply desire to be attracted to me. Therefore, I felt that this time of fasting was necessary and rightly timed. It is amazing, how everything comes together in its own time, not always the time we desire it to arrive. I am certain this is part of my lesson.

    Yesterday, I began study of the Law of Attraction, the Law of Thought, "The Secret" or whichever name you may want to call it. I have access to a program that was written and developed by Dr. Joe Vitale and Mark Joyner, the founder of the amazing Simpleology programming. In Mark's "Great Teachers Series" Dr. Vitale, author of "The Attractor Factor", teaches the Law of Attraction and how to use this law in order to manifest the life that I desire, while fully living within my purpose. Of course, I am not new to the realization of this law, and I have used it in practice many times with great results. Nonetheless, the dynamics and specifics of utilizing this "law of thoughts" have yet to become a solid, second nature for me. I want it to be where, I no longer have to focus on thinking constructive, positive thoughts, because I naturally do so as a result of training and conditioning my mind to stay on that wavelength, no matter what. Far too many times as of late, I have allowed external forces to bring me down to lower levels of thinking which have, as promised by the Law of Attraction, delivered more of exactly what I did not desire. I know that I am capable of mastering my mind which will allow me to fully engage the Laws of Attraction to my benefit.

    During this time of fasting (My fast of choice is The Daniel Fast), I resolve to spend more time in meditation, listening for guidance from my higher self, and also releasing the subconscious barriers that are still trapped, limiting my ability to attract my desired results, or better. I have also made it a point to add visualization to my practice as recommended by my results with Smart Attractor , a short quiz that shows how well one is using the law of attraction to his/her benefit. This is an area that I had not really focused on or practiced as much as meditation, and yet I know that, "whatever one can see in the mind, one can have in the hand." I have a list of 2-3 things that I have the desire to manifest in a relatively short amount of time and I visualize myself not only having those things, or better, but I picture in my mind exactly what they look, smell, and feel like. With regular practice, the Law of Attraction states that my mind will have no choice but to obey and manifest my visualization. I have much confidence in this promise.

 It is now up to me to hold up my end of the bargain.
