For Prosperity and Success, Meditate!

Success is being in the right place at the right time, and doing the right thing in the right way. You read it here.

By following this you open the door to prosperity. You get the response and the reward from this at some point in time, whether it is right away or at a later date.

We are all individual and unique, with a unique personality, abilities, karma and possible timelines. We all have our own version of the right thing, the right place and right time. Finding the right thing and doing it, and expressing ourselves in this way, can bring a combination of happiness and success. And prosperity.

Right now in this world at an international, national and a local level, life appears to be crazy, and things seems to be falling apart. As Light comes in the old is breaking down. The old ways don’t work so well anymore except for a few. But the Light is also instigating and supporting a lot of positive things happening. A lot of people are trying to make a difference, and are putting into practice new ideas, mostly at the individual and local level. In this way they boost their prosperity.

The ideas and concepts are there, and people who are dissatisfied with how things are have the motivation to open Up and access the ideas and inspiration. Strangely enough, they were born for this, they have the aptitude for it, even if they didn’t know it before, they have the karma for it and the timeline waiting to happen. It is happy days when the penny drops.

There are lots of ways of being open to the inspiration just waiting to drop on them like a bubble of light. Some people have a realisation when they are in a relaxed mood, or when they are involved in an activity where the brain can relax.

Another way is meditation. An analogy here is a radio (the devices people used to use before going online for a digitised sound, which is worlds apart from the richer analogue sounds of radio in years gone by). A radio can recieve a radio signal of a range of frequencies. Imagine some of the lower frequency stations have a lot of talk and chatter, while there are some higher frequency stations that make you feel happier, calmer and relaxed, with alpha brain wave patterns. But also with some rather lovely energy from on High.

Think of it this way. You are a soul, with a particular personality this lifetime so your soul gets to have the experiences for it to develop. The core of you, the soul, came from God. When you meditate it is possible for you to be on the receiving end of a tiny bit of God’s energy. (Too much and you get white-lighted and lose the plot.) A daily top-up is fine.

You follow the steps to set up the meditation, and then go with the flow. You can’t force it. Like in surfing, you are on your board, you see the wave, you go for it, catch the wave and stand up, and go with the flow. You trust yourself and you trust the wave, and respect it if it is a big wave. You can’t force the wave, you just ride it. Same thing with meditation. Then the wave subsides. When you want, you go out and catch another wave.

A meditation, or better a daily meditation, can help you be open to inspirations and insights that can help you do the right thing, in the right way, and in the right place at the right time. Meditation is good to have as part of a successful and prosperous life.

There are meditations in posts on this blog to choose from, and also some recorded ones you can listen to accessible form the side bar.

Using money with negative intent or loving intent
spiritualgrowthadventure

Be Prosperous in Loving Ways

It is obvious to say that money has an effect in the world. Large amounts of money put into all kinds of activities have effects and also consequences. People choose what to put money into depending on their priorities. Some people just want profits regardless of the consequences, other people might take into consideration the immediate effect on people and the environment and do something that benefits the world.

It is an imperfect world, so there are also people who will try to do something knowing it can have a short term negative effect, but in the big picture, in the long term the effect will be positive.

In old prosperity thinking, no consideration was given to the effect of an activity, or the effect it would have on other people’s health and lives. It was all about the individual getting rich and having a great life. When rich, some people might get involved in philanthropy.

In those older times, there were less people around, there was more space and there was less pollution. The build up of greenhouse gases due to industry, vehicles and ships that would cause problems with our weather later was just beginning.

The notion was that there was the individual and their family, and then there was the world, to use and gain from.

Now, more people realise that they are part of the world. If they want themselves and the people who are important to them to be prosperous, and that includes their children and future generations, then they need to fund and do activities as thoughtfully as possible.

The very notion of what prosperity means is evolving, as our understanding of how we fit into the environment and society evolves.

It is an evolving situation we find ourselves in. It is an imperfect world (or a perfectly imperfect world from a spiritual point of view, which, like the grit in the oyster, helps us develop spiritually, into the equivalent of the pearl). 

A key to being prosperous and creating prosperity in this evolving world is to make choices that seem loving, and to do what you do in the most loving ways you can.

Also hold in mind that even as there is a lot of Light stirring up and clearing the old, that Light is also bringing in new ideas and supporting energy. That’s the good news. 

New prosperity starts with being open to the wonderful new energy coming in, and letting it grow inside. When ready, it can be expressed in the world.

The Point of Prosperity (Or What is Prosperity For?)

It’s been raining a lot here and I’ve been feeling cranky with a dose of self-pity. Then I see in the news a picture of an old Hollywood film-star who has been living a reclusive life in their $85 million mansion, and they look terrible.

This is an ideal mix to get thinking about prosperity. Having an $85 million mansion and millions of dollars in the bank might be what lots of people want. Having lots of expensive, status-symbol cars might be what people want. It might make them happy. Then they might reach a point after a while that having a massive house or massive car collection and the presumed status doesn’t deliver the happiness. For instance, when people die, how many of them say at the end, “Well, I had a big house”, or “I had a great car collection.” (or the biggest and tidiest lawn, or a Picasso on the wall, or a high status career, or millions in the bank.)

The actor in the news looked terrible, and not at all happy. Prosperity should make you happy, I said to myself.

Then I thought there is actually a first level of prosperity where a person recognises that they can be happy, they can be joyful. Then they can live by being happy, and bringing joy to what they do.

With the weather, and looking at some mess that could do with being tidied up, I reminded myself how I look at this depends on me. I could choose to look through a lens of self-pity, or I could look through a lens of happiness and joy.

One train of thought goes I can only be happy if I have the new car and big house and so on. Another train of thought, I told myself, was that I can be joyful and happy because I have joy and happiness inside my heart. The external stuff around me has nothing to do with this. I like to think of myself as spiritual, whatever that means, and that I have joy and happiness inside me because I have God inside me, who is the source of joy and happiness. As well as being Infinite, and Infinitely abundant, and knowing exactly what I need externally to be happy.

Prosperity is internal in the first instance. When we recognise that, things change. When we recognise we have joy and love and happiness inside us, that alters how we think about ourselves, and alters how we see others and the world around us. It changes our behaviours and what we say and do. If we realise that love and strength is deep inside us, it alters what we think we can do, and then what we do.

Imagine two versions of yourself going about the day. One version of you thinks the place I live in is horrible, life is boring and hard, I’m fed up, and nothing I do matters. I don’t think much to myself. How would you live that day? What would you think? What would you say? What would you do? How would your day go?

Imagine another version of you that believes that joy and love and happiness are inside you, and that you have the strength inside yourself, because God is in you if you like, to keep doing and trying, and to keep on. How would you live that day? What would you think? What would you say? What would you do? How would your day go on this timeline?

What energy would you be radiating out into the world, out into the Universe from your chakras and aura? How would you impact on the world around you, and what if you did that every day, what would be the effect on your life? Would you be happy?

The Universe responds to what we think, feel, and do, and it gets reflected in the external around us.

At a basic level, as well as recognising the good stuff inside myself, I find that enough sleep, a decent diet, and enough exercise does wonders for my wellbeing and energy, and really helps me to be positive and effective. So my image of prosperity doesn’t include all-night, champagne soaked parties like some playboy. I do like a cup of tea however, a bit of yoga, and walking in Nature and the occasional trip to the beach.

The actor in the news looked like he needed some basics to improve his wellbeing. Sometimes when we get so low though, it isn’t easy to do it for ourselves, what really helps at that point is some kindness, love and support from others and maybe a hug, and some telling that they are OK and loved.

PS Prosperity is a choice everyday, and I do have to make the effort to remind myself that joy, love, happiness and strength are inside me. Life isn’t some fake effortless Instagram life.

The Flow of Prosperity

What we know, and our attitudes affects how we approach life. They affect our approach to prosperity as part of our approach. What we know and our attitudes can be influenced by our concepts of spirituality.

Consider two people. One of them thinks they are the most important person on the planet, that they are free and can do and say whatever they want because they are important and free. They practice the idea that their thoughts create their reality. Life is about making themselves happy and doing and having whatever they want so they can live this life. They use their wealth to get things to happen the way they want. Though what is really happening is that they are following their karmic path but in a way their personality likes.

In the past, in the West there were people whose idea of prosperity was all about getting rich and richer. It was these kind of people who brought about industry; the petrochemicals industries, the agricultural industries and so on. They got rich but the effect on environment has been terrible, nor did their exploits help prosper the communities who worked for them. This approach to life and prosperity unfortunately goes on around the world even now.

Consider another person with a different spirituality. For sure their own individual karma will influence what they do and experience. But say this person knows they are one out of many, many souls, and that everything and everyone is interconnected. Plus they know that what they think, say and do has an effect. They know that they are part of something bigger than them. They are aware of an energy that connects all things, and they are aware of energy flowing into their lives.

As an example, lets say they learnt about Chi energy. They have practised some form of exercise that involves Chi energy, where they learnt to feel the movement of Chi energy, and they can sense it.

Chi energy flows around, and is a good example to show that people can become aware of spiritual energy flowing into the planet and flowing around and into their lives.

It is possible for a spiritual person to be aware of some kind of energy flowing in their life and in Life all around them. This energy can be called all kinds of things (think of Star Wars and the Force if you like). Being aware of the spiritual energy coming in and flowing around is like tapping into an aspect of God. It is possible to be aware of brand new energy flowing in, very much as if the energy was flowing in from the Future. Think of it as if the energy flows in and lays stepping stones into an unfolding future.

A spiritual person with this kind of awareness can have a feel of what it is that is right to do, of what direction in Life to go, and when to wait and when to stop. The energy flowing in can carry ideas, creative inspirations and the emotional motivation to birth these ideas and inspirations into physical reality. In quiet times one’s imagination can receive these. Receiving and acting on ideas and inspirations is very much part of a spiritual approach to prosperity as they can change your life and the world around you.

Living like this requires a trust in the energy, and a trust in one’s own ability to feel the energy. It requires calmness and peace on the inside, and an ability to be patient and then to move quickly when required.

Life has a rhythm to it, and spirituality and prosperity becomes about feeling this rhythm and going with it as best as possible. It’s like being on a seashore and watching the waves rolling in in their own time as they can’t be pushed or slowed. With a bit of practice you can sense the incoming waves of inspiration as they roll in from the future.

Trust, peace and awareness.

Time for a new prosperity

The world has changed a lot over the past several decades, and particularly in the last twenty or so. Right now there is a lot of change happening. There is more to come, as spiritual energy, Love and Light, pour into the Earth and humanity to bring about change. For humanity right now, it is a lot about getting rid of the old, based on old energy, and creating the new, based on new energy. Today, we are in the midst of this change (some people might prefer the word turmoil).

There are people who are invested in the old, and who are trying to hang on to it. For instance, those people who have made a lot of money from oil and the industries based on oil such as plastics will do anything to make sure it keeps going. Think of how slow governments are in dealing with the issue of plastics. This is just one example from many possible ones.

Several decades ago, spiritual prosperity thinking would have been OK with making money running an industry in steel, coal, oil, chemicals and so on, which polluted the planet, and involved dangerous working situations for people, or exploitative ones. The people making the money would have been held up as shining examples of how to be prosperous. That was the old prosperity, the old way. Some people still want to live this way.

There are businesses based on exploitation of people and the environment. There are businesses that are to do with sex that exploit women, and also children. There are businesses based on drug addiction. There is the harvesting of personal details and data on the internet. These businesses are based on greed and control and often violence.

There are other possible examples, such as cryptocurrency mining which uses up huge amounts of electricity to produce and so uses up the earth’s resources and contributes to global warming.

These are all ways this world currently goes on. Ways that are not exactly based on Love and Light. They can touch people we know personally. They certainly touch our communities and societies. Does making money through these ways mean it is being done prosperously?

Turmoil and change is making humanity (well some of them) learn from the state of the world and the consequences of past actions. These caring people think there has to be something better than the old ways.

And there is.

On a spiritual level, the insights and new creative concepts have already been flowing in. There are many people at the leading edge bringing in new technologies, developing sustainable ways of doing things, and having ideas about how to live more intelligently. It’s a time of creativity and experimentation.

As is often the case in spiritual matters, spiritual energy comes in to create situations in life for individuals and groups of individuals that they then go through and learn from. Life itself is the teacher, and people come to realise what is important and what isn’t, and use their ingenuity to find solutions to problems. With the spiritual input, life changes, and people change because of it. (Who did you think was in charge of Life, the Universe and Everything?)

For those people who want to do things in a new way, they can access new insights and ideas that are already flowing in. People can just be open to them, or they can go a spiritual route and deliberately work with the Divine (the Father aspect or the Mother aspect; both work), and embrace the new spiritual ideas of Prosperity coming in. It’s like tapping into a wave that is flowing in from our new, improved future, which is very different to the old one that we are leaving behind. The book “A Spiritual Approach to Prosperity” is all about this.

In the past, the old spiritual approach to prosperity was heavily focused on money and wealth and having lots of it.

The new spiritual approach to prosperity does include money as it is still useful as a means of exchange of energy. But in life, we have learnt that having clean air and clean water massively adds to quality of life. So does nutritious food, which given pollution, turbulent weather, increasing population and the quality of food produced by factory farming, is becoming an issue. We have learnt that being able to spend time with other people is important, simply being able to be held and hugged is important. Having privacy is becoming important as the tech companies collect and sell data about us, without respect for people. Having an environment where we can access some greenery or Nature is important for people. Having employment, as setting up and running businesses is not for everyone, without exploitation but rather with respect is important.

The very nature of how money is used will need to change. Currently, people go into banking and finance because they want to make lots of money. The financial system is set up to run so that money comes from the customers, and the money flows to those who work in Finance so they can become rich off these customers. There is plenty of scope for innovative thinkers here.

A spiritual approach to prosperity has always relied on some understanding of how focused thought works with spiritual energy. The roles of visualisation and intuition still applies, as does timely right action. What is different now and in earlier times when prosperity books were written is that there are many more people around who have an awareness of spirituality and the world, and who visualize and meditate. What else is very different is the phenomenal spiritual energy flowing in from the Divine for people to access and work with to be prosperous, and bring in the new.
