The Philosophers Zone

The holiday season is fastly approaching. All the stores a bustle of Christmas activity preparations. We are digging into our attics and walk in closets, for all our seasonal decorations to make our homes look like the pages on the catalogs we devour. Madly scouring for the perfect gift for people who have everything already.
Sounds like a fun time, no? Where did we lose the true meaning of Christmas and trade it for commercialism and status?
Back in the good old days, children gathered around a fire, huddling under blankets together, anxiously awaiting grandpa's energetic,animated story of Santa and his reindeer. Mother, and the oldest girls in the kitchen talking excitedly about their eventful lives while they all share in the preparations of the bounty of food laid before them. No mention of money or thoughts of expensive gifts bestowed upon them.
Food, family, festivities, and pure enjoyment for the opportunity to be one with those who share their love.
The following article discusses how we can learn to enjoy the abundance within our lives and find riches where we have never thought we could.

Creating Money Out of Thin Air
Copyright 2005 Wayne McDonald

As my friend Ida says, "Money is Easy." Creating more
income or abundance in our lives is that simple, but most
of us try to make it harder or more complicated than it is.

The hardest thing about our relationship with money is
giving up our idea of what that income is or where it will
come from. We must focus on what it CAN BE. For example,
most people would argue that they are on a fixed income and
there is only so much money they receive each month. Others
say their monthly paycheck is XYZ dollars and they don’t
want to get a second job.

In the first example above, the person has defined the
boundaries of their income and they do not allow the space
for other income to flow. In the second example the person
has defined a limited channel of how and where the money is
to appear. To create more money out of thin air we must be
willing to let go of our limited thinking, remove the
boundaries around our abundance and stop outlining how it
is to appear in our life.

You’ll notice that I am interchanging the word money,
income and abundance. The first step of creating money is
recognizing that money is abundance. I know you can create
more abundance in your life. Sometimes that abundance
appears as money that you can spend. Sometimes abundance is
someone taking you to lunch or getting an unexpected rebate
or discount on a purchase you made.

The following rules will help you expand your thinking and
break down any boundaries that you have about money or
abundance.

RULE#1

Money is energy. It follows the Laws of Nature and like the
tides of the ocean it has a natural rhythm of flowing in
and out. When we allow money to flow to us and not restrict
or define how it is to come to us then we become the
masters of abundance. We restrict the flow of abundance
when we do not allow someone to take us out to lunch… "Oh
no, you shouldn’t pay for lunch." We restrict the flow of
abundance when we don’t pick-up the penny that we find on
the street. You ask the Universe for more abundance and it
is given to you at your feet but it is beneath you to
pick-up change that you find lying on the ground. [Note:
When I started to pick-up money on the street the
denomination and amount increased!] Or we restrict the flow
of abundance with limited thinking. Every time you say I
only earn XYZ dollars you are defining a boundary and
limiting more abundance to flow.

RULE#2

Money is impersonal. Money is not good or evil. It has no
values or beliefs except what we put on it. Money does NOT
care who you are or what your background is or what your
past family history was. This follows Rule#1 because money
is energy and only that. It can be used for any purpose
that we want. Money can be used to help people and it can
be used to harm people. But how we use it or what we think
about money does not change the nature of money, which is
energy.

RULE#3

Money is unlimited. When we understand Rules One and Two,
then money or abundance can freely flow to us as much as we
will allow it. For example, in this past year there have
been several natural disasters where thousands of people
have lost their homes and needed help to rebuild their
lives. People rallied together to help those displaced and
said we need XYZ dollars. Within hours, millions of dollars
poured in from all sources. Imagine and KNOW that you too
can do the same. Create the need, open the energy and let
the Universe provide all the good into your life.

OPENING THE FLOW

I know you can create more abundance in your life because
your Being is Energy and Money is Energy. The first step is
developing a relationship with money. Each night before you
go to bed write in your journal at least ten things that
you are grateful for. Recognize, write and give thanks for
all the monies that you have. Give thanks for that person
that took you out to lunch. Give thanks for Spirit, God or
Universe for the money that you found on the street. Give
thanks for that person that smiled at you on the bus. This
simple exercise takes only ten or fifteen minutes to do.
Give yourself permission to try this and see what opens and
flows into your life. If you forget to write in your
journal for a couple of days or week, take notice how the
flow may have slowed up or stopped. Pick-up the pen and
start writing again in your journal and develop a habit.

YOUR JOURNAL

As you develop this new fun habit you can begin creating
new sources of income to appear. TRUST ME THIS WORKS. I
found $640 in cash on the street last year! You can create
what you want to appear in the future, but always write in
the present tense. Remember NOT to create boundaries and
remember NOT to define the outcome.

Here are examples of phrases you can write in your journal
even BEFORE they appear:

I give thanks for all the unlimited income that flows in my
life.
I give thanks for my new job that is financially rewarding
and is a short drive from home.
I give thanks for all the monies I have.
I give thanks for the overflowing financial abundance in my
life.
I am grateful to receive abundance and all the good in my
life.
I am grateful for my all paid vacation to Hawaii.
I give thanks for the opportunity to be open to receive all
the good in my life.
I am grateful for my health.
I am grateful for my wonderful body that functions healthy
and perfectly.
I am healthy whole and complete
I am grateful for right and perfect health.
I am grateful for all the relationships in my life.

Creating more income or abundance in our life is easy. Let
go of boundaries and limiting thoughts and allow all the
good to flow into your life. Soon you will be telling
others how to create money out of thin air. Namaste
