Flaws in the Laws of Attraction and Prosperity

Have you read the prosperity guru's laws of prosperity - put every single thing into place just to find yourself POOR(er) and with LESS BELIEF than when you started?

Most "guru's" talk about the laws of giving and receiving without providing the fine detail that makes all the difference in actually achieving prosperity.

I can't recall the number of people who report following the laws of prosperity just to end up completely broke for giving away their money and possessions with absolutely no evidence of prosperity in sight.

If you find yourself relating to this scenario - don't despair. You can still trust your inner belief that the theories are real. You must also "know" that you are not the one person that is not meant to be prosperous.

Just because it hasn't worked for you up until now, does not mean that you are not meant for all the success you desire. It just means that you have something else to learn.

In this discussion we are going to address the principle of Giving.

Most prosperity proponents talk about giving in such a limited way (and even those that are more expansive with their explanation) as to lead the prosperity student to believe that the giving they must do so to their own sacrifice.

I have heard about people completely giving away their furnishing - because of the vacuum theory. Nature abhors a vacuum...Give away what it is that you desire for yourself. Well, mostly these students just end up sitting on the floor - feeling foolish.

Giving IS an essential law of prosperity - but you must embrace the whole law. There are three types of giving and all are required to bring about the desires of our imagination.

The first type of giving is - giving back to God. You can not possibly say that you embrace the belief that there is abundance in the universe if you can not part with 10% of the good gifts that God has already given you. In essence you say that you do not trust the abundance theory and therefore, can not participate in its rewards.

You must believe before you do. This belief is what drives your actions. Therefore, if you believe that there is enough prosperity in this world for you and everyone else - you must trust the same God who provides all prosperity with your measly 10%.

When I say MEASLY - please don't get offended. No matter how prosperous you are...compared to the resources that are available to all of us - there aren't many living or deceased who have come close to obtaining all the power and prosperity that is available to us.

After you give back to your creator; you must then give to yourself. It is amazing how many people have a hard time accepting this. If God created you - then you must be a valuable, lovable, deserving person. To believe otherwise, is to denounce God's creation and God in the process.

If you can believe you are an heir to God's thrown; a child of the King - and live from this belief; without arrogance, but thanksgiving and humility - you can then be open to accepting the good things that the position allows.

Many students mistakenly begin to live beyond their financial means after a statement like the above - because a caution is necessary and often not included. Yes, you are a child, a very creation of the creator of all good things - and your beliefs so far in life have brought you to the very place you are currently in.

Your beliefs and actions upon the laws of prosperity will change your life - but most students have an emotional belief in the theory and don't quite execute properly right out of the gate.
You must be sure you have removed the obstacles to your prosperity before significant benefits are observed.

We will talk about being thankful in another message.

Just know that giving to yourself does not mean you have to run up your credit card buying symbols of wealth. You will never become prosperous by charging your symbols of prosperity.

Giving to yourself could simply mean that you take time to meditate or practice yoga or learn something new. You can be generous to yourself without involving debt or even purchasing a thing.

Lastly, giving to others.

The benefits to giving to ourselves are very often over shadowed by giving to others. While this may seem altruistic and honorable - it is really an error that keeps prosperity from flowing into our lives; and it may also block prosperity from flowing into the lives of those we are supposedly helping.

I know this isn't an easy thing for most of us to believe - but consider the parent who over indulges a child even into adulthood. The parent is very often sacrificing their own security and happiness for the child they love so dearly.

There are so many levels where this is wrong.

Not only is the child learning an unhealthy behavior - At the same time this behavior is stopping the child from learning valuable lessons that need to be learned before growth will occur.

We can all relate, I think, to this scenario. A person must first be balanced and growing in their own development before they are equipped to give any good things to anyone else. Love in and of itself is not sufficient to direct us to do that which is correct and in the best interest of others.

Just think of the couple who marries too young before they have any understanding of who they are and what they desire in a partner - love is not the only requirement for serving others. We must also be equipped ourselves with the tools of service.

One of the easiest ways to develop the gifts of giving to others is to ask for guidance from God. This simple act opens up the opportunity for blessings to flow through you for the good of others. When you ask for divine guidance - you are directed in what and how to give so that you are fulfilling the desires of God and truly being a blessing to others.

In this way, you are becoming an instrument in Gods plan for others. Let yourself be used by God by seeking direction.

These steps prepare you to be open to receive.

For Your Total Success!
