WHOLE BEING INTEGRATION IN MANEFESTING ABUNDANCE
[The essays mentioned here are found at the Body-Mind Integration web site, at the addresses shown in the "Related Articles" section further below.] INTRODUCTORY NOTE WHAT MAKES THESE STEPS DIFFERENT FROM MOST "PROSPERITY PRINCIPLES" On the one hand, I draw a definite connection between true well-being and abundance. How can one enjoy what one has if one hasn't the presence of mind and heart to appreciate it for what it truly is? Materiality has no basis without the intangible qualities of Spirit that brought it into existence and gave it purpose -- true appreciation of one is true appreciation of the other. I do not believe, however, that the state of one's material advantage is any indicator of spiritual well-being. I believe the controversy over this point is interesting. Even so, both sides of this argument, whether from a Christian, Buddhist, Gestalt, or New Thought perspective, have useful concepts and tools. I've done my best to put them together, to integrate the principles of each usefully below.] GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS As one comes into alignment, achieving more and more success in "seeking the kingdom of Heaven," one becomes rich in the blessings of self-realization. To the degree that this alignment is served by the manifestation of abundance -- however that is defined by the aspirant -- then abundance will surely manifest. One of the principles says that you always get what you need, however you may have to change your beliefs in order for your desires to become aligned with your needs. First, I invite you to study "The Achievement of Goals, Attainment and the Role of Inner-Work" (sometimes referred to as "The Goal Chart") and get an idea of the indicated flows of intent (arrows), especially as concerns those into and out of the sections at the (bottom) level of Foundation Processes. This chart and the accompanying notes is designed to enable one to quickly and easily return the focus to the broad scope of things -- especially when the details appear overwhelming -- to see where one is and make sure that each aspect has been given proper consideration. Notice also that in the center of the chart is the aspect, "Awareness of Needs & Desires". Also notice what "feeds" this aspect and what this aspect in turn feeds. It's placement on the chart is purely functional -- for multi-dimensional integration. And that can be read as making a statement in itself relative to the flow of abundance. Abundance naturally flows as only one aspect of Divine Life Energy. it flows everywhere it is allowed to flow. The whole idea is to re-open closed routes as one opens self to Divine Life Energy -- just as in healing -- one "only" needs to get mind/self out of way. From a gestalt perspective one does this (to really put it in a nutshell) by recognizing the where blocks are, finding what temporary purpose has been served by the blocks, finding a healthy way to meet that purpose, then removing the blocks. Prosperity or abundance is a relative value, just as is any amount of anything that makes one happy, sad, excited, etc. If you have a concern about meeting someone else's idea of abundance or peace, then you will experience "not enoughness" and therefore unhappiness, no matter what amount is attained. Abundance, peace and happiness are states of mind that are achieved thorough balance within one's own Being. "I give myself permission to know the difference between my true needs and my addictive desires, to have the former joyfully met and the latter painlessly let go of." The following steps address the various levels of The Material Self in the process of achievement of that balance or alignment. Some knowledge of basic metaphysical laws is assumed here. In any case, you may find interesting and educational the section "Cosmic Laws" in the appendix.
SEVEN STEPS The FIRST of seven "steps," FEEL WHAT YOU FEEL, is one that is most important and yet most difficult for those of us who tend to be mental masters OVER our emotions and bodies. Doing this means being willing to admit ignorance without judging it, giving up control over what "should" happen as regards what you feel, and be willing to be surprised and even confused about what you feel or think you feel. This also has to do with discerning between your feelings and someone else's that you may be tying ("cording") into for various "co-dependent" reasons. Eventually you will learn to feel the feeling when the moment arises, instead of discovering long after the incident, how you really felt about it. Another way of saying this, is to be in touch with your Inner Child. Besides the many facilitators who can assist you in this process, there are some printed resources for helping you learn to do this -- not just in theory, but in workbook practice -- the books: Self-Parenting: A Guide to Your Inner Conversations by John Pollard, Homecoming by John Bradshaw, and Leaving the Enchanted Forest by S. Covington and L. Beckett. All are very effective and practical for the lay person. A source of useful theory and exercises on a not-so=quoted methodology is Freedom from Anger by Roger Daldrop and Dodie Gust. SECOND, as you become more sensitive to what you are feeling as you feel it, you will also be able to more clearly DETERMINE WHAT YOU WANT -- in general and specifically. You may find this to be not even close to anything you have allowed yourself to have in the past -- that's great. First things first, "Realistic Goal Setting" comes later. Now is when we exercise the imagination, giving the inner-child permission to dream with as much free reign as you can give yourself. Here is where so many "New Age" books on the topic excel, so I won't try to list them. THIRD, another potentially challenging step is REALIZING YOUR WORTHINESS and thereby opening the receiving part of your heart (so to speak) to actually have what you want. We're not saying "become worthy enough to have what you want". This has nothing to do with reward and punishment or even "earning" except to the degree that one consciously or unconsciously believes that to be the case. Therefore we're not saying that if you don't have what you want that you've got something to be ashamed of. The trick is realizing how worthy you already are based simply on the reality of God's unconditional love. I highly recommend the booklet, "The Mental Equivalent" by Emmet Fox.
FOURTH, along with the above steps comes the self-clarifying practice of ESTABLISHING REALISTIC PRIORITIES and GOALS. Here is where you set your priorities and timetables for realizing the goals. You need already to be somewhat self-assured that you have the capacity and ability or inner Divine resources to achieve the goal of this phase. Confidence building is one of the steps along the way, so you don't want to create excuses to drop the project with making situations that insure failure, by out-distancing any limitations you are currently "invested in". For example, you would not likely set flying (without an aircraft) as your next goal until you have some experience in manifesting your light-body and have quite completely transmuted all belief patterns and feeling attachments concerning the need for the traditional characteristics of our bodily vehicles.
SIXTH, FORMALLY ESTABLISHING INTENT AND FOCUS OF ENERGY, is the easiest of all -- and the most fun for many -- after the above work has been done. This is where you do the ritual that invites -- if you like -- the assistance of various Divine qualities of any deity or Masters, etc. It is the official pronouncement in decree or affirmation form to self and All That Is and it affirms that your objectives are in alignment with all of your Being. It says enthusiastically what you want, and says firmly and confidently that you are worthy of having or experiencing it. It acknowledges your choice to have and experience certain specified things, qualities, realities, etc. It affirms that you are ever so grateful that it Is a reality (in the becoming). It can include any reminders about newly chosen beliefs and values about yourself and your capacities or qualities. Some sentences can serve to reinforce your faith by reminding you of new realizations (from step three) that freed you of previous debts. Then you finalize the ritual with a closing such as "I accept this as Done," "Amen," "So be it," or some closing of personally invested Faith. This serves as your stamp of authority, whether you consider your authority as personal, God-inspired, or even channeled.
SEVENTH, "ACTING THE PART", has to do with the Power of the Spoken Word and with living your affirmations. This means investing feeling and doing into one's intentions, and feeling and verbalizing Gratitude as if the desired is already manifested. We invest time and energy into the various "Key Activities (see Goal Chart) including "tithing", "making room", visualization, thought and verbalization, affirmation, prayer, and decree. The basics on through to the fine adjustments of this practice (and more) can be found in such as Catherine Ponder's *Secret of Unlimited Prosperity*, and Phil Lout's *Money is My Friend*. Indeed, the goal is manifesting immediately on the mental and astral planes.
CLARITY & RESOURCE FACILITATION
INVOCATION of Dis-Identification, Acknowledgement, Manifestation and Utilization
I am acknowledging in this clarity therefore that my body-mind (physical, emotional, and mental) Complex is but an extension of That I Am, and that 'I Am' the Center of Consciousness and from this centered point of awareness I acknowledge my co-creatorship with All That Is. And through this acknowledgement I now choose to disengage the power of false or otherwise nappropriate beliefs, patterns, and associations -- extensions -- that my body-mind complex may mentally and/or emotionally entertain, to create into Life/Manifestation. So Be It.
How Am I most efficiently and usefully, thoughtfully and heartfully, utilizing this exercise ? I acknowledge my Total Being (Body-Mind-Spirit-Higher Power) capacity to effectively, efficiently, and safely search for, find, & develop any & all answers & solutions that these questions ask for or IMPLY -- as I make each statement one line at a time as a thought, feeling, and/or image, and letting the thought, feeling, or image go, with faith that the answers come. I acknowledge that the resources, answers, &/or solutions to these questions are manifesting -- perhaps via communications that are sensed within (via thoughts, feelings, imagery, etc.), &/or via external experience(s) with things, situations, people, etc. I accept this done -- RESOURCES ARE FACILITATED! -- according The highest needs of all concerned, and in accordance with Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing. Today and days to come I thank my Higher Power/ Higher Self for showing me what such enjoyable and appropriate resources, answers, and solutions feel and look like! Glossary for Clarity Invocation: * "Dis-Identification" - pertaining to the Buddhist pre-meditation technique of mentally discriminating between a) the I Am as OBSERVER -- of self , one's mind, and all that the mind perceives -- as apart from b) all that is observed/perceived. This is done with each aspect of mind until each/all of them are perceived as more or less detached in their overall importance to the Self, at least as relative to the goal of spiritual clarity and eventual self-realization. * "I Am..." (as capitalized) is in itself an invocation of one's Divinity or Divine qualities, an acknowledgement of one's oneness with I Am That I Am/All That Is/All That I Am. * "appropriate" = in accordance with most practical application of Divine Order, Divine Love, & Divine Timing. * "safely" = free of inappropriate judgment, intimidation, or pain of any kind.) rev 7/9/98, 7/21/98, 6/17/'03, 9/17/03

If some folks were to see how I live and hear of my having written an essay on abundance, they would be sure that I was either a comedian, a hypocrite, or a blithering idiot. My response to that would be, "well, that's understandable, and..." The "ands" have to do with how one defines abundance - primarily based on how one understands karma, belief patterns, and life decisions about priorities (not to mention my own past). It may also bear on how one defines blithering idiot. Or maybe it's related to the phrases 'too honest,' or perhaps how 'whole truth' relates to how others have defined abundance or success. In any case, I am happy to say that I am rich in many ways that are not associated with how the image of 'success' has been promoted in the media. And besides that, further understanding of the definitions, values, and concepts regarding such terms as 'magnetism,' 'achievement,' 'attainment,' and 'true abundance' is found (primarily) in the essays "Attainment And Achievement -- The Alignment Of Beliefs, Desires, And Needs" and "Achievement of Goals, Attainment, And the Role of Inner Work...". The term 'karma' may also deserve some attention, and that is given in essays "Victims, Compassion, & Responsibility -- Notes on The Emotional-Body, Denial of Pain, & 'Easy Answers' (Not!)" and "WHY PAIN? Notes on Pain, Awareness & Denial."
