In the end, it is our spiritual self which is worth more than our material wealth and our physical health.

Consumerism isn’t spiritualism

Many people pursue consumerism under the guise of spiritualism in order to attain material wealth. However, this kind of thinking can only produce temporary success. This is evident when a person achieves their goals and then these are taken away from them just as suddenly as they are attained. We witness these folks hitting a streak of bad luck or twist of fate and they lose all that they have worked to achieve.    

Material wealth is fleeting at this moment

We only need to look around us at this time to understand that material wealth is fleeting: as the Stock Market crashed many lost their retirement savings; companies were put into bankruptcy and many lost their sole means of income; and others were forced to hand over their front-door keys and walk away from their homes. The sad part about this is that many will never regain what they lost from a lifetime of working because they are not aware of how to regain what was lost.  

What is the symptom and what is the illness?

Still, these terrible results are the symptom and not the illness which permeates our modern-day world of consumerism. Our society exerts a great deal of pressure upon us to flaunt our wealth, actual or not, in order to make the grade.

We validate our Self with costly goods

We need costly watches, purses, and cars to validate our self-worth in today’s society. Shiny, sparkly objects are transitory and this week’s fashion becomes next week’s old news. If that’s all you are or known by is your costly toys, how can you attain true happiness and fulfillment in this life?

Gratitude, faith, belief, and optimism release ‘good’ chemicals in our body

When it comes to health, the new field of epigenetics is telling us that it’s an inside job to maintain and sustain good health. There is little doubt from the scientific findings that one’s spirituality and the positive emotions which accompany their connection to The Source, such as gratitude, faith, belief, as well as optimism release a pharmacopeia of good chemicals into their bodies. These naturally occurring substances then act as a defense against disease, and ultimately, result in a healthier and longer life.

What’s your most important possession in this life?

Overall, it is your spirituality that is the most important possession in your life. I say this because your spiritual Self manifests your material wealth and your physical health. It can never be the other way around where wealth or health manifests the spiritual self.

“Toys” don’t last…a spiritual connection does last

So, while your toys may be gone and your health fails, your spiritual connection cannot be lost to anyone or anything unless you consciously relinquish your connection with the Source. And even when things go awry, you still have your spirituality to regain what has been taken away. 

Spirituality is the pathway to a ‘good’ life and not material goods

Hence, since material goods are short-lived and physical health depends upon your thoughts, we need to embrace spirituality as a means to live a wealthy, healthy, and fulfilling life

Shinier, costlier, and larger toys cannot provide long lasting fulfillment in your life.

 

What do you fill the void in your life with? 

Some think that chasing that shinier, costlier, and larger toy will fill the void in their life. While they expend much energy, perhaps even their entire lifetime pursuing these elusive goals, in the end, any material object cannot fill the void since the void is not the cause or the effect of a lack of material goods.

Are you pursuing spiritual fulfillment or material fulfillment?

Rather, the lack they experience in their life is from a lack of spiritual fulfillment. Somewhere along their journey in their physical form, they neglected their spiritual fulfillment at the price of material fulfillment. After a lifetime of chasing goals that cannot and will not bring true fulfillment, it is of little wonder that these people cannot look in the mirror and honestly believe that they are happier and healthier in life with their shinier, costlier, and larger toys.

What is your main focus in life?

Living a fulfilled life does not mean that a person should give-up the pursuit of material goods, this idea is in of itself a direct contradiction to the Natural Laws of the universe where expansion is the rule and not the exception. And so it should be with humankind to grow and expand like the physical universe we inhabit. The real dilemma is when the main focus in life becomes the pursuit of material goods which ultimately define you as a person.

Am I an Italian sports car? An expensive watch? An exclusive purse? 

Hence, I am powerful like an exotic Italian sports car; I am exclusive as a one-of-a-kind watch; I am smarter since I wrote a top selling novel. However, the success you experience in life depends upon balance: the balance between your health, your wealth, and your spirituality. When you focus solely upon material goods you cannot possibly achieve balance and balance in life is what results in a truly fulfilled physical existence here upon planet Earth.

Do you crave material goods only?

Another problem which frequently accompanies our obsession with material goods is that some of us do not have the economic resources to support a life of extravagance and exclusive cravings for these costly items. If we are unable to pay the price of these goods outright, then we use credit and there is a high cost we must ultimately pay for living yesterday.

There is a high cost for living yesterday

Such a purchase – when you are not able to meet your monthly obligations – can lead to a negative vibratory state and you will struggle to get out of this state, however, you are not able to since you allow your present state to dictate your future state. Once, I owned an expensive European automobile when I needed it; I needed it since there was a void in my life and it became my identity, but, I could not afford it at the time and used credit to fund this expensive toy for my own vanity and self-worth.

What do you need? What do you want?

Many years have passed and now that I can afford this brand of automobile, I do not need it, I do not need my automobile to define who or what I am since what I drive is not who or what I am. It was a costly lesson, however, since my focus in life is now not upon impressing anyone or anybody with the set of wheels I drive, my focus is now upon spiritual fulfillment and to no surprise I now have the economic resources available for me to purchase such a vehicle without using any form of credit.

A positive vibratory state manifests what you desire 

When you take your focus and life’s mission off of material gains, you will receive the material gains you want since you inhabit a positive vibratory state where all that you can imagine will be delivered to you from the Source.

Find balance in your life for true fulfillment

Focus your life upon achieving true balance and in the end you will find that the toys – all the shiny, costly, and large toys will find their way to your doorstep since you are not attempting to fill a void, rather, you are attempting to live a fulfilled life based upon a strong connection to the Source. And this, my friend, is true fulfillment in our present physical manifestation.

Your emotions and your feelings that manifest from your thoughts are the divine elixir which unlocks the innate, universal knowledge.

Thoughts are energy

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. And the things that are unseen or seen on this physical plane of existence are pure energy. For example, thoughts are things that are pure energy; since they are energy, they can neither be destroyed nor can they be created. Hence, at the moment of creation, all thoughts were created and the sum total at that miraculous moment are equal to all the thoughts that we possessed in the past, all the thoughts that we possess at the moment, and all the thoughts that we will possess in the future.

Energy can be either positive or negative

It is also true that pure energy can be either positive energy or it can be negative energy and it your emotions and your feelings which is replicated by the nonjudgmental energy that exists in every nook and cranny throughout universe. It is your thoughts that manifest your emotions and your feelings of what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen which results in the creation of positive or negative energy.

Your thoughts create feelings

If there is any doubt about your positive or negative thoughts manifesting positive or negative feelings and emotions, focus your thoughts for a moment upon love; how do you feel? By contrast, focus your thoughts for a moment upon jealousy; how do you feel? How you feel and what you emote are not only the products of your psychological state, these also exert a great deal of influence upon your physiological state as well.

Each of us has unlimited innate knowledge 

The benevolent Source has provided each of us, regardless of our social status, education, or location, the totality of the universal knowledge. This primordial gift lies dormant in the trillions of cells and DNA that compose our present earthly form. We only need to rouse this dormant knowledge and truthfully apply it in the searching and manifesting of our goals and aspirations.

How can we awaken our innate knowledge?

How can we rouse this sleeping bequest from the Source? The key then to your success in this life is to be able to control your thoughts which manifest your feelings and your emotions…this process then unlocks the door and that holds the methods, the circumstances, and the people to achieve your goals. The means to achieve your goals are innate in each of us and the means are locked-up in the DNA which each and every person who exists upon our terrestrial home possesses in their human form.

Let love and compassion drive your goals…not wealth and power

How do innate universal knowledge, our thoughts, our feelings, and our emotions conspire in a miraculous chain reaction which creates the elixir that manifests our goals? Due to a lack of technical sophistication at the present moment, it is impossible to identify and measure the biochemical reaction that lead to the manifestation of our goals, as a consequence, we then are forced to look at the chain of events that would lead to the creation of the divine potion that manifests our goals. For example, we want to write a Self-help book which will provide guidance to the countless millions who are presently suffering from a lack of money and Self confidence.

Money is not the motivator to reach true satisfaction in this life

As an author, you are not driven by the monetary enumeration you will receive once you have helped the countless sufferers escape from their present unpleasant situation. Rather, you possess the base desire of love and compassion to help those less fortunate than your Self and others around you. It then can be said that your thoughts and desires trigger a series of events to produce your end goal – a best seller that truly guides the masses.

There is an interface between your goals and your knowledge 

Your mind and soul are filled with a noble and honest goal which produces a biochemical reaction of the ‘proper’ kind in the trillions of cells that comprise your earthly form. A biochemical reaction occurs which then interfaces with your DNA to unlock the area of innate knowledge which has been lying dormant in those trillions of sets of chromosomes since the day of birth in your present earthly body. Now, the exciting part is that your biochemicals react with your DNA to access and then relinquish all the ideas, knowledge, words, and methods to create the book that will be the great savior of humankind.

Unlock your wants and desires and the path to receive them shall be yours

We have unlocked the primordial knowledge which manifests our goal, the Source then provides us with the means to be able to reach the people who are in dire need of our help. This wondrous meeting occurs since we, as an author and those who are sufferers, share the same vibrational frequency.

A web connects each of us as One…One love, One mind, One soul

We are connected by the Web of existence and since we are, we share the universal love and compassion that flows to those who have awareness and focus upon the relief of their unpleasant present situation. Once your book has been received, the ones who are less fortunate accept the words that are being read and this in turn initiates their journey to create their unique divine elixir that will release them from their present unpleasant situation.

Serve others to achieve true happiness and satisfaction in this life 

Once we can comprehend the enormity of the biochemical reaction which can lead us towards our goals in life, it is then our responsibility to apply our new found knowledge to best serve our Self and the lives of others as well. Have complete faith and belief that the Source has provided all the things required in this equation of freedom: the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, the people, the circumstances, all mixed in the proper amount to produce the biochemical reaction to live a life of happiness and fulfillment.

“Your experiences equal your thoughts.”

There are no limits imposed upon us because of our age, gender, or location

Whether young or old, female or male, rich or poor, we all have the means to achieve and receive what we desire from life. Still, there are some who would disagree with the idea that the Source does not limit possibilities for all of our species, rather, they believe that age, gender, and location prejudice their opportunities to reach the level of success they want from this earthly life.

Our minds manifest our desires

There are no earthly prejudices that can stand in the way of one’s success, however, even though we can freely access the means to manifest our desires, each and every experience that we manifest in our life is a result of the thoughts that we hold in our minds. As a result of this fact, there cannot possibly be anyone or anything that creates roadblocks to success except those which are Self-imposed.

Blame no one for your past, present, or future

If you do not enjoy the level of health that you desire in this life, you are fully responsible for the level of health that you are experiencing at this moment, in the past, and in the future. Your vibrational state equals your state of health. Hence, blame cannot be leveled at anyone or anything else; you are the originator of all your thoughts and you thereof, are the one held responsible for the maintenance of good health and prevention of ill health. As such, contracting a disease has everything to do with your thoughts and nothing to do with the illness; surviving a disease has nothing to do with the illness and has everything to do with your thoughts.

Our prophecy becomes our reality

Self-prophecy becomes Self-reality when those who are in an unhealthy state of vibration listen to and accept that which is told to them by professionals. If you are enjoying good health at the moment, then you have occupied a vibrational state that is positive and have attracted good health and have repelled ill health. There are no limitations or prejudices that stand in your way since the positive state that you enjoy supersedes all the other conditions that you can possible face in your life’s journey here at this state of being.

Your vibrational state creates lack or want…it’s your choice

If you are occupying an unpleasant present where all you are able to attract is lack and poverty, you must take full responsibility that your financial experiences are the results of your thoughts. Your thoughts and your thoughts alone create lack and want in the past, the present, and the future; lack can only result from a continuous occupation of a state of the same and there can be no progress away from this state since your experiences can only result from the vibrational state that you occupy.

Change your vibrational state to change your results 

You must change your vibrational state to change your results. If you have experienced abundance in the past, as well as the present, then if you maintain the identical vibrational state, you can only enjoy more of the same in the future.

Defeat is only temporary…accept it as such and not as an end itself

Frequently, we experience delay when we set goals and they do not manifest upon our Self-imposed schedule, however, it is at this time that we must be strong and not accept defeat, it is only temporary. We must have an open heart as well as an open mind to accept the delays that manifest when we plan our big goals. If we feel fear, we can only manifest lack; if we feel gratitude we manifest plenty in our lives. In the end, your experience of abundance rests solely upon your thoughts of abundance – it is the Law.

Disconnect from the Source manifests negative experiences in life

If you feel isolated, alone, and without support of and for your earthly goals, it sounds like you have experienced disconnect from the Source. A lack of belief in the power of the Laws and the Source manifests as negative experiences in life; it can only be so. These negatives include fear, jealousy, envy, sadness, and can only result in earthly experiences that are identical in nature.

Harmony and alignment create the life you deserve to live 

You cannot possibly expect to receive anything different than what vibrational state you occupy and emit to the universe. Your spiritual well-being cannot and will not change unless you change your thoughts from nonspiritual thoughts to spiritual thoughts. If you have experienced deep joy and fulfillment in your life, no doubt, you have experienced complete harmony and alignment with your Self and the Source. This powerful relationship and wonderful connection to and with your spiritual Self and the benevolent One, can only experience more of the same in the future as well as your past and your present. A spiritual Self is a life of joy, happiness, and fulfillment which cannot be equaled by any bright, shiny, and costly item found on a shelf.

Fill your mind daily with thoughts of gratitude, joy, and belief

Our experiences can only manifest from our thoughts; rely upon the Source to guide you to your personal path of achievement and you can reciprocate this rewarding experience when you fill your mind with thoughts of gratitude and belief. Your life will be a full, gratifying experience that results from the thoughts that you hold in your heart.

“Success does not occur from filling a void of want, rather, success occurs from filling a void with spiritual feelings.”

I want more of this and more of that 

When most are asked if they want to have larger savings, bigger homes, and newer vehicles then they presently have, they will surely respond with a resounding Yes! Then when asked how they go about pursuing a larger bank account, a bigger home, and a newer vehicle, they will no doubt say that they constantly think about wanting more money, wanting a bigger home, and wanting a newer vehicle. With this type of thinking it is not such a big surprise that most have not achieved what they want and instead remain the same with little money, small homes, and old cars.

You cannot receive your wants when in a  negative state of vibration 

This is because when they are thinking about wanting more of any material good, in reality they are asking the Source from a position of want which manifests as negative vibrations which can only lead to negative results seeing that like vibrations attract like vibrations and repel unlike vibrations – this is the Law. Hence, there can certainly be no change in these different areas of their lives.

Do not attempt to fill a void with “things”

Many go out and attempt to change their lives by purchasing things that they long for. They buy these goods from a feeling of want and lack and in a sense they need these various material goods to fill a void. The problem is that filling a void with a request from their want something since there is lack of something does little to fill the void.

You are more than just “things”

The approach of wanting something to make the grade, to impress friends and relatives, or to validate your Self worth can only lead to a negative vibrational state which brings along more misery to you since buying goods when you are not able to then leads to fear of paying the bills when the month-end approaches.

Buying “things” can lead to a vicious cycle of wanting more and more

Then you realize there is a poor economy, you fear losing your job, and this invites even more negative vibrations and more of the same month in and month out, year in and year out. When you buy goods to fill a void, you are operating within a vicious cycle since once you have the new home, vehicle, watch, purse or whatever it is that you believe will fill the void in your life, there is always another thing that you must have, hence, you never succeed at filling the void since once it is filled with one new object there is always more that you want.

“Things” are ephemeral 

Even if you can achieve all of your material goals and regardless of how much money you have in the bank, how large your home is, or how exotic your car is, even though you may have these material trappings today, they are merely ephemeral and you will still feel a void in your life which you rationalize can be filled only by the next hot item or costly thing. Since the root of the problem is that disharmony still exists in your life, it cannot be filled by material goods no matter how large, expensive, or exclusive.

Disharmony in your life maintains your problems, not solve them 

I am not saying that you should avoid having material goals such as larger bank accounts, bigger homes, and newer vehicles, you are here to experience a life that the Source offers to you and part of that life includes unlimited spiritual growth and expansion of material goods as well.

How can we escape from a negative vibrational state? 

However, I am saying that your focus of buying material goods to fill a void creates a negative state of vibration that you cannot escape from and unless you approach your life and the accumulation of material goods in another, more satisfying way you will not feel a long lasting fulfilling life of peace and tranquility that each and every one of us deserves and is offered freely and willingly by the Source no matter where we live, where we work, what our education is, or what our gender.

A positive vibrational state opens the doors to success 

It is easy to move from a negative vibrational state to a positive vibrational state, and in the end your spiritual feelings of peace and tranquility can manifest all the material trappings, in any form that is desired, to you and you will not experience a void that must be filled by the latest trendy or costly object.

Change your thoughts, words, and actions 

When you change your thoughts, you change your words, and when you change your words, you change your actions and when you change your actions you change your future. Think of your spirituality: your spiritual feelings must fill the void first and then you can set material goals not from want but from abundance and joy.

Your soul is full of love, compassion, and joy

Fill your soul with feelings, thoughts, words, and actions of love, compassion, and joy to receive more love, compassion, and joy. Once your soul has experienced this higher state of being, a positive connection between you and the Source, this vibrational state opens the floodgates to having material wealth, and it does not matter if we have a bad economy or there is other foreboding news ahead of you.

Maintain a strong connection with the Source

If your connection to the Source is strong, you will not manifest negative things since you are in a positive state and sending positive vibrations out to the universe which can only result in the same being sent back to you.

Receive all while in a positive vibrational state 

Once you have achieved a positive vibrational state with the Source, you will receive all that you desire – and your want is not from a negative void of want, poverty, or lack. Rather, you are receiving from a positive state of abundance, joy, and love which results in a lasting sense of fulfillment and purpose to your life.

“Fulfillment occurs when you conquer your inner world; fulfillment does not occur when you conquer your outer world.”

photo-1416331108676-a22ccb276e35Material wealth doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness

In modern times, while we appear to have greater material wealth than in the past, these kinds of riches do not guarantee a greater sense of happiness, security, and fulfillment. You only need to look at the rate of suicide, substance abuse, and a myriad of forms of self-destructive behavior to understand that material wealth is not directly associated with spiritual wealth. This is not a promotion for Money is Bad – that is not my intention, rather, the love of material goods at the expense of your spirituality is the issue.

Does history repeat itself? 

Even though we may face these tragedies in our world, humankind appears to be on a similar path which we witness from almost a century ago. In the 1920’s, eight of the richest financiers in the USA controlled a greater share of the countries’ money than the government.

Wealth can lead you down two paths 

This powerful and wealthy group consisted of a Who’s Who from the time including presidents of banks, securities firms, and Wall Street as well as the President’s Cabinet member. While they were wealthy in the early part of the 20th century, within a mere two decades, these public figures suffered greatly: Leo Fraser committed suicide; Arthur Cutton died penniless; Charles Schwab died bankrupt; Jesse Livermore killed himself, Howard Hopson went insane; Richard Whitney a prisoner in Sing Sing Penitentiary, Ivar Krueger died a suicide; and Albert Fall earned early release from prison to die at home. In spite of their tremendous wealth, these men died either by than own hand or insolvent. While they clearly understood how to accumulate wealth, they did not understand how to live fulfilled.

Negativity manifests from disharmony

When we only focus upon material wealth…the demons of self-importance, self-indulgence, self-deprecation, and self-destruction can accompany us along the way. These negative thoughts can then result in disharmony and negative vibrations which do us physical as well as spiritual harm.

Positive vibrations manifest harmony

On the other hand, when you pursue loftier goals first, you are filled with self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-love which results in positive vibrations that support wellness in your physical and spiritual realms.

Conquer your spiritual world for true happiness and fulfillment

Conquering your physical world does not and will not provide the balance in your life which leads to lasting and joyous fulfillment. Conquering your spiritual world does and will provide the true balance in life which leads to lasting and joyous fulfillment.

“You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the ocean, hence, you have the power of the ocean to manifest your dreams, your desires, your destiny.”

oceanaJust a drop in the ocean? 

There are those who believe within their very soul that they are merely a singular drop in the ocean of life. And since they are just one of the billions upon billions of nameless souls being carried this way and that by the tides and currents, feel they are inconsequential in the overall scheme of the universe.

A sacred connection exists

Little do they realize that our benevolent Source has created a sacred connection between everything and everyone within this ocean of life. As such, they possess the means to participate in the creation of their dreams, their desires, and their destiny.

The inseparable becomes the separable

The qualities of the entire ocean are bound within each single drop regardless of its size, origin, or location. It must be so since every drop consists of the same elements as the collective, and if the ocean is divine, so must the drops of the ocean be divine. The sacred divinity of the whole knows only connection, not separation. However, when we lack faith and belief in this divinity, the inseparable becomes separable.

Divinity exists within every drop in the ocean 

There is a divine connection that permeates every corner of the universe. It is our feelings and our thoughts that interface with this divinity that manifest our wants and needs. We must acknowledge that it is our feelings and our thoughts and only our feelings and our thoughts of gratitude, faith, belief, and plenty that sets the universal good in motion to create our wants and needs. Since our feelings and our thoughts are congruous with our desires, we receive the good from the Source.

A wedge between our sacred connection

We must also acknowledge that it is our feelings and our thoughts and only our feelings and our thoughts of fear, envy, jealousy, and envy that drive a wedge into this sacred connection. Since our feelings and our thoughts are incongruous with our desires, we cannot receive the good from the Source.

Reality manifests from your sacred connection 

The wise ancients wrote of a sacrosanct connection in life and the numinous power that awaits each one who bears unwavering faith. There is unlimited universal power that resonates throughout this sacred connection and it supports a fulfilled life of accomplishment for each and every person; this is the natural right of humankind. Still, our modern-day world has a misconception of the connection that in the end, was, is, and will be the way to a divine life. The Source would not provide each and every one of us with our own unique dreams, desires, and destiny if these were not accompanied by the means of achievement. Believe unquestionably in the power of the ultimate connection between each drop within the ocean of life to manifest your highest reality.

“Be still within the turmoil of everyday life – how else can you achieve true success in life?”

clothesWhat is my place in the universe?

In our life, there is nothing more rewarding than the satisfaction of knowing our place in the universe, our reason for being here, and our connection with the Source. While being in a truly sacred place in life at the moment is the most gratifying and fulfilling for humankind, for most, this is an elusive goal. It is only when the noise of the outer world is blocked-out that we begin to experience the joy of the inner world.

Achieving your goal at any price

We live in a chaotic world where our purpose in life has morphed into How much can I get for myself? And without a single thought of the real cost to anyone or anybody, we run around grabbing at any means to achieve our goal with little regard of your goal. Companies design marketing programs which lead the masses to believe that they simply must have a particular product to be a somebody or a someone in the modern world.

Material goods do not make a person  

However, it doesn’t stop there; this monstrous selling machine has no conscience as it grinds out every last penny of profit for greedy stockholders and owners from consumers. It is troubling to find that a person in today’s society is measured by the price of their purse, the status of their watch, and the public’s perception of their car. And sadly, if you or a loved one cannot pay for their vision of how to attain self-worth and happiness, you are a failure. As a result of their marketing muscle, we blindly buy into their ideas how to achieve true happiness and fulfillment in life.  It is no wonder that individuals and society in general suffer so greatly.

Meditation helps us move forward to spiritual satisfaction 

It is time to break away from our modern day obsession with material goods as our only purpose and only goal in life. Rather than focus your full attention and energy upon your worldly Self; focus upon your inner Self where the true mansions of happiness and fulfillment exist. A good place to start this journey to override the need to have something or to be someone is to meditate on a regular basis.

Intuition is a true measurement of Self 

Meditation has many psychological and physiological benefits and it is not just sitting cross-legged on the floor chanting and burning incense. Rely upon your intuition to decide upon your Self worth. Just as the Source created unique snowflakes; each and every one of us was created with a special purpose in life which runs deeper than what we own. Receive inner satisfaction from nature and the everyday experiences. While we can receive material goods in life, first, experience the sacred connection with the Source to quiet the noise around you and truly experience a meaningful and happy life.

Redefine your purpose in the universe

As we enter into a new millennium, it is time we open our eyes to the injustices of mass consumerism and redefine our place in the universe, our purpose, and our connection with the Source; this is the way to achieve and sustain true happiness and fulfillment in this earthly life.
