7 Sacred Laws of Abundance

Let's talk about one particular theme today. And it's sort of more broad than you would think by name. But let's talk for a moment about prosperity or abundant consciousness. And then I'm going to share with you some prayers. Those of you who have asked, some decrees that I've written in the past.

And so I'm going to share those with you guys as a closing, But it's so hard for the human mind to really comprehend what God is. However, if we live in fear and judgment, we constrict our consciousness and we think God punishes us. There used to be a really intense belief of curses from God. If something went wrong in your life. There were people, your friends, your family members would say, "Better not stand too close to them, they're cursed.

" And they would think God, you know, as though God's sitting somewhere going, "You're cursed. You're cursed. You're cursed, and you too. You're not cursed. Psych! You're cursed," You know this isn't at all what God is about. How could God curse, if it's only love, just the presence of love? What happens is, we develop these things. We made these things up.

And it wasn't so bad, because we partly did it to keep ourselves from getting too nuts on Earth, from going too far in our hurtful behavior. So creating karma and such wasn't really necessarily a bad idea, because it kind of kept us in check. But we went too far with curses and taking on guilt and shame that aren't there.

And it only needs to be taken as long as you still believe that you're a flawed person. So forgiveness makes the way, when we say there's people out there that say, "Here's how you create abundance. Sit, concentrate, that you are God, and concentrate on what you want, and you'll manifest it.

" And we've talked about this before, so I won't go into that too far. But it's it's not true capital T. It's only in the make-believe world that it's remotely true that if you close your eyes and think hard about something enough, you might get it. And then you're going to praise it. We're back to doors and you know, the doors instead of the what's in the room, praising the doors.

I learned this new technique on how to manifest, I mean, you know, how could that go wrong? You're going to have lots of people following you. If you develop a technique that gets people what they want. But the way of God is to say, "What I'd really like you to do is get your ego out of the way and become God.

Don't proclaim yourself to be God, while your ego is still running the ship or the show." It doesn't make sense. Just because you can manifest a car or a job or money, whatever it is, that's just, that's just magic. It's like pulling a rabbit out of a hat. It's just stuff of this world.

So we need abundance, consciousness, not prosperity, techniques, per se, but a consciousness what consciousness Seek first the kingdom. Seek first the kingdom righteousness of God, and all the rest will come. It's hard. We actually think that God is so far away that we have to work hard to get it. So then we take God and splinter it into several little definitions.

One of them being prosperity, one of them being healing, and so on. We splinter them all off. And then we work hard to try to get that one thing. But you're only talking about the splinter again. Better than nothing. But God's saying, "You know, if you would just focus on being one with me, you wouldn't have all the various things you're making into religions for yourselves.

" Concentrate on being the love of God. And then the rest comes. This is not inconsistent with also saying, practice forgiveness, and you'll get the things you're looking for in your life. Sounds like a different topic. It isn't, because learning to become the consciousness of God means you also become a more forgiving person.

So some people take it literally. And they think I'm saying you have to forgive somebody so that you're allowed to like then you've earned a raise at work. It's not necessarily like literally like that. But it is kind of like that, because every judgment, because God is not judgmental, every judgment I have is ungodly or it is not like God.

So how can I create a life of love peace, joy and abundance if I'm thinking unlike God? I need to restore my consciousnes.s I need to get back to thinking like, feeling like, being like God and one of those things would be to not be judgmental. When I judge, I constrict my consciousness, therefore it can't create love, peace, joy and abundance.

Abundance is just one aspect and that's what I'm focusing on today, but they're all in the same. Solomon, wisest and richest man in history. Solomon was told by God, you know, in the story, you know, God's saying, you know, "Solomon, I'm very impressed with how dedicated you are, congratulations.

" And then, "You know, is there anything I can give you?" now, it's not like God's literally visiting, saying, "Listen, Hey, how you doing, man?" You know, This, you know, "Hey, high five," or whatever. It's not literal, but the consciousness of God is communing with the consciousness of Solomon saying, "You have achieved a level of integrity that allows you to call upon more in your life.

" That's you and I, potentially, "So what would you like?" Now, imagine the average human being, not religious and not spiritual. If they could just somehow figure out you could have anything you want, they're going to go because their material oriented, they're going to go for material things, right? I mean, that's the consciousness. They're going to want some thing.

"I want that raise," you know, it's like a, how many Twilight zones did something like that?" which is a good way to find where you'd end up in the twilight zone. You know,if you live like that, there's no movies like it. There's the the Bruce Almighty kinds of movies where somebody granted this ability, and they just have to walk through their selfishness.

The Groundhog Day, the first time several, and you don't even know how many times you just have an idea that How many times did he loop through? Well, I remember it was four or five, no, no, no, you saw four or five loops of him going through, keep in mind, he had to have gone through that time loop enough times to have become a physician because he ends up as a doctor, a musician because he ends up being a master at music. jazz pianist.

No, think about how many times he had to go through that loop to have attained all that. That's very discouraging to think we can go through the same loops, You do. It's called reincarnation. Except we sometimes reincarnate our problems over and over in one lifetime. There's a way to break this. Seek what's in the room of God.

Seek what's in there, not the doors, not the fixtures on the doors, but what's in there, and then act like it. Act like what that thing would do. What would God do in this moment? If you think God is judgmental, you might accidentally start acting judgmental, but that's not God. What kind of God would you like? See, the truth is, we actually already have these beliefs.

We already have it set in our mind. When you make a little mistake in your life, and then you think something's coming back on you, it does come back and somebody says, "Oh, that was karma." That's all it did. already determined. In our mind,. We already think that that's the kind of thing we deserve to happen. We've already played judge and jury.

That's got to stop. So instead, we learn to say, "You know, God, I really don't know what to do with this relationship. Show me the relationship as you would see it." And instead of, "Oh, oh..." I remember this one episode it's kind of weird. God only knows where these things come to me from, but this one obviously from a strange dimension, but...

I remember an episode of I Love Lucy. Michael is going to share an I Love Lucy story. And it's going to somehow add to the spirituality of our growth today and whatever? Yes. One time , she's, as usual, done something and she was lying again, as usual. "Rick,y no!" "Lucy, you got a lot of 'splaining to do, "you know, and, and she's like, "No, no, really." And then she says to him, "I swear, God strike me dead.

" And then she actually goes... like she's expecting it to happen, you know. So I thought it was kind of funny. And this is how we live, although not as physically reactive overtly, there's a part of us as soon as we even just a wisp of mis-thought comes through, there's a part of us, it's actually called the ego, that says, "Now you wait for that to come around.

" The ego is going to ask you to sign contracts to help alleviate that karma from coming around as though it's doing you a favor. But it's the guy that's telling you karma is coming, then tells you to sign a contract to get out of the the karma and the contract, it gets you the sign is worse than the original problem. It doesn't tell you.

There's only one way out love and forgiveness. Who do I have to forgive, then? Well, you could start maybe with yourself, what is it that you thought, you know, went on here? So on the context of prosperity and abundance, or health, healing, whatever is on the mind. How's it going, guys? Well, I'm doing well, except you knows there's some challenges with prosperity.

We are told you can have anything if you forgive, because forgiveness is the only thing that blocks anything, because everything has consciousness. So Solomon says, I can have anything you can have anything. You know, I think I'll go with wisdom. See, that's not a typical human being. You know, I think I'll go with wisdom.

Whoa, God says that you, you know, well, what would make you think of wisdom and Solomon goes because Solomon is together kind of guys. Dedicated, right? And he says, because I have a feeling that if you have wisdom, you have everything you would know, investments, you would know how to, you know, conduct yourself, you know everything, you'd have everything. And that was right.

And God says, because you chose wisdom, you will now have anything and everything a person could ever want. So he became the most powerful and the wealthiest person in history, okay, even his treasure eventually is passed on to Alexander the Great who was, I think, another good example of this kind of consciousness but Solomon God first that's the point Solomon went for wisdom. Guys, don't get caught up in the word God.

Solomon went for wisdom, which is synonymous with God. Do you understand that? He says, I want a consciousness of God when he said, wisdom. And when you have the consciousness of God, you'll have anything and everything. Don't settle. Don't say, if only if only I got that 25 cent raise.

Well, you can say it, just acknowledge it. That's your human self. Isn't this funny? I'm sitting here praying. And I'm asking for a 25 cent raise. And, and it's I'm not going to shame myself. Because that would be unforgiving. It's okay, I'm just gonna sit and kind of laugh at it. I am entitled to all and I'm asking for 25 cents.

You know, kind of laugh at yourself, you can laugh and go, I still wants to 25 cents, but laugh and laugh and, and understand, and then just live dangerously and say, Yes, I'm putting out for 25 cents. But I'm open for more. I am open to experience the prosperity of God.

And if you're willing to go to the prosperity or the healing of God, or the inner peace of God, and so on, you're going going to find that downloading. The problem is your eyes sometimes could say, well, I only got 15 cents. I asked for 25. And I even asked for I only got 15, I guess, God, this and I guess God that don't bring God into it.

God is flowing and flowing and flowing as healing, love, peace, joy, abundance, etc. We're the ones who tried to catch it in a thimble. We're the ones who say, yeah, fill my Dixie cup, and then wonder why our prosperity is limited. There is it's unlimited. So say, fill me Don't hold out a thimble, fill me and, and practice faith and dancing in the knowingness that it's coming, that it's here.

Now dance and believe that it's already here. That's what that means, you know, call, you know, seek, and you shall find it's impossible to truly put ourselves out there in this open way. And for it to be shut. It doesn't make any sense. It's, it works. It's true, the laws of God are true.

And therefore I accept them. And we open ourselves up to to receive as it's often termed, I'm going to share with you a couple of a couple of quick quotes from here in their Bible included, but here, here and there. But I'll be as brief as I can. But pretty quickly, but do understand the church back in the ancient times, old days, the church made people think that you're distanced from God. Again, the church is like a door in a building.

God is in the building, the Church says, where the door and we're shut. So what you can do is worship the building and there's a box on the outside of the door is worship the door, there's a box on the outside of the Torah, be sure to put all your donations in there. Because if you do, we'll be sure to lacquer the door. So we look even nicer. But it's all still about the door.

So that the the church historically said you should be ashamed of yourself for wanting anything, you know, your your lucky to even be able to approach us the door representative of God, they weren't representing God, they became doors and they were shut doors. But the church started making people think they don't deserve healing used to have to buy forgiveness, literally.

So that means poor people believed, I wish I could change my life, but I can't afford it. And then you come back in another life and you're still carrying that contract. And then you try to heal and it's not happening. And you wonder why. So, you know, you end up with some prayer groups, and we're sensing that there's this contract, or some shaman saying, in the second room, we found a contract and you need to tear up that contract.

You know, people doing all this kind of work for you to help you realize those strange contracts. There's nothing wrong with you. If you're not experiencing love, peace, joy in abundance. There's just stuff in the way that's all it doesn't mean it's not there. There's just stuff in the way so you work love and healing and stripping off the stuff that's in the way. Well, I've been doing that, but I don't see it yet. Don't say it's not there.

Say I don't see it. Yeah, that's probably true. But it's there. It can't not be there. The presence of God, the light at the end of the tunnel. So and some people even think, you know, well, I follow a Buddhist path or a mystic path. And so we're not really into prosperity into that. That is a lie. What the hell were you reading? It's a lie.

Buddha, Jesus, they were into prosperity. Jesus were the an absolutely highly expensive row, a seamless garment, he probably manifested gold coin, silver coins here. And then whenever he wanted them, that's pretty dang abundant. You know, he didn't say, Oh, geez, I can't afford you know, I'm embarrassed to be crucified.

Don't have any, nothing nice to where, you know, I'm sorry. That was really weird. It that didn't happen that way. And that Buddha, you know, oh, you know, Buddha, you know, we always the statue, and he's he, you know, some many statues that the heavy Buddha or the emaciated Buddha or when we hear a Buddha fasting and fasting and fasting, and that's not the healthy Buddha Siddhartha, that's the one these at all. I think, I took that too far.

Why are you worshiping before he woke up? Well, think about this, I want to be like Buddha, you know, just wear one, you know, wrap around and fast forever. And that's, that's not the guy who woke up, don't you want to be more like the one that woke up and said, don't do things so seriously, eat, have have some food, don't go too far in the materialism and don't deny the material experience, balance, man balance that's Buddha, the Buddhist have typically, you know, the number eight follows a lot with the Buddhist you know, but there's eight attributes for

a truly healthy life eight attributes. One of them is like gift of speech, one of them is vibrant health. One of them is wealth and prosperity. I don't know a lot of Buddhist that actually speak that instead it's abstinence and abstinence. And now it's just another Miss interpreted, or misperceived and misrepresented concept.

It's not true Jesus, Buddha, Moses, prosperity patriarchs, matriarchs in history understood it. Now, I'm not saying that's not did that means that there's no mistakes that have been you know, there are a lot of mistakes that have went with vows of celibacy and abstinence and prosperity issues. Poverty, you know, there were and they were still mystical, but they were following an extreme called withdrawal and, and a mystic path.

That doesn't mean it's your path. Some of you were those mystics doing it, and we went too far. So balance, let's come back. We don't have to be materialistic but you don't have to be completely abstinent balance. How can I be in the world and not of the world. And as I get that prosperity starts to come to me more and more.

So we have to recognize this and so quickly, seven sacred laws of abundance. The first one has to be God, first, you want to heal, you want to have more prosperity, fine, make God a priority. So from the Bible that'll shall remember the Lord thy God for it is He that giveth the power to get wealth now, I didn't hear anything negative in that challenged me to open the doors or the windows of heaven and pour out to you a blessing that there shall not be room enough to receive it. That's a man it's like,

yeah, I want that God that's pretty cool. Connect with me and I'll pour upon you Whatever you're looking for it you won't even be able to control it all. It'll be too much your couple run over and which means what and you'll share it with others which is one of the Buddhist concepts create wealth and and healing and healthiness and so forth, Buddha said, so that you can show people what it's like to connect with God, with spirit with the Buddha consciousness. You see, when you get the consciousness, you become an example of it. That's what he

was saying. And if we obey and serve God, we will spend our days and prosperity and our years in pleasure. So your life will be filled with plenty. So again, seek God first. second principle. Second, law of prosperity, abundance, every play is healing. It's all about healing, healing the past healing your misperceptions, not just physical healing.

We're talking about abundance prosperity, you've got to heal your old programs. So the Bible says every plant my father in heaven has not planted Shelby rooted up. So when you're working on prosperity, your old beliefs have to be taken out. So I'm asking for 25 cent raise, I haven't gotten it yet.

Then start working on healing facelessness healing, fear, of lack heal, whatever's coming up, heal, that you think that you need a boss to be in control of your prosperity, a great Religious Science or science of mind, teacher, I loved her way of putting prosperity. God is the source people are the resource, that's all. But God is the source. Everyone else is just a resource.

So your boss is just a channel, they're not the original source. The blessing of the Lord makes us rich. But without any sorrow. Which means as I gained prosperity, it doesn't have to come with, you know, something negative, like sacrifice of some kind. Some of us claim to be spiritual.

But we still believe that if we get something good, something bad has to happen as well. Like a given taken that is not true without any sorrow. It said, but you can't create a new life while dragging the past with us. We can't do that there has to be a Are you willing to let go and cleanse the old life, the old consciousness and I'm going to come back to this one.

You also have to release past traumas and beliefs, experiences, I find it quite heartbreaking sometimes to hear about some of the poverty that some people were brought up in, it just seems just insane. And it is, but the the embarrassment that it comes with the fear that it comes with that to have kids, you know, going to school and not having lunch money, and so forth.

I don't mean to just try to, you know, belabor this point. But man, I mean, it's hard stuff. When I first came to unity of Sedona there's a story I've shared before, but there was, there's a program in Sedona and maybe other places, obviously, too, but there's a program where they collect food, and then give food to the kids so that they have food every day when they go to school.

Because some kids they found out we're not you think they went to school and they didn't have food? How can you not have food? What does that mean? Who in the heck is not giving some some food or money? How can you have kids going to school and not having food, first of all, they become malnourished.

But there's shame and all kinds of things to that you think they're going to grow up as healthy when they're carrying all this shame, and so forth. So, you know, somebody came to us and said, when I was new here, they said, you know, could you Michael, you're the new ministry here and spiritual teacher, can you can you help us? There's this children's program? And I'm like, and why didn't they help you? Well, we presented it several times to the board, and they wouldn't do anything. And I'm like, wow, this is just surreal. Like, how weird Am I that I would

think we should be doing something. So I had to tactfully go into the board meeting, you know, and hey, you know, I've heard about this program in the area. And, you know, maybe we ought to consider helping to put food, you know, give food to children. And they're like, well, because this is an old style board at the time, but they're, you know, nice people, that's fine.

But it was an old style aboard. So, so I just said, What's this, that, you know, we're not giving food? Well, you know, the thing is, we really have to discuss it. And we have to think it over. And we should take some time to figure out how we'll do it. And if we're going to do it, and it went on and on.

And I just listened the whole time thinking cuckoo, but I'm just, I had to patiently Listen, because I'm new. And I thought if I if I do too much of a Michael, they're gonna, you know, freak out. So I had to wait and listen patiently. And then I'm listening and channeling patience and listening. And then they were done. And then I'll just set patients over here now, and I'm going to channel Michael.

So I lean forward and I said, here's how we're going to do this. Unless I'm speaking to board members of a church. Okay, I lean forward. I said, Unless one of you kills me in my sleep. Tonight, we're going to get these kids food. That's what I said, you know, they were just like, you know, this guy's nuts.

And I'm like, Yeah, I am. So but, but I mean, it. It's like, how can you live with this lack consciousness? How could you sit and say, we have to think about it for a few more months. And then they said, besides, we have some other programs with other programs. And if you do have other programs that are on the list of things, to discuss, let's do those two, why is anything waiting? And then, you know, I was going to be impatient because of this sort of thing. And I love it. If that's if that's what it's called. It's great. But to

me, it's doing God's will be announced, you know, be announced, like why why prolong why procrastinate. If, if you can make a change, Now, why not coining that old phrase? If not us, then who? And if not, now, then when? Perfect, brilliant. Another way, another technique. Another step and other principle or law is prayer and affirmation.

You know, we have to learn to think of dollars as we do leaves on the tree. This is a quote from Joel Goldsmith, like leaves on a tree or oranges as natural and is inevitable result of law active within there is truly No need to be concerned. Even when the trees appear to be bear as long as we are conscious of the truth.

And the law is that even now operating within to bring forth fruit after its own kind. As long as we understand no fruit on the tree, it's winter. I know it's still coming. If it didn't, there would be something wrong. It's the same with prosperity. God is I am, we are. And so it is. Understand the law of consciousness and prosperity.

Well, but the laws of karma to know God gave the law that God is I am and we are ego gave the law and you don't deserve so the ego can say fine, God is you are and you don't deserve it'll just put some little twist in there. That's untrue. And I don't need I don't need to fight that. I just need to see it as what it is. which is untrue.

It's untrue that I don't deserve it's untrue that I'm not prosperous or just because the orange is on the tree right now that there's no fruit coming another law ask believe and receive the Bible says all things whatsoever you pray for asked for believe. And you have that you have received and you will have it it's not just it's not just ask.

It's important to believe. Then you will receive now some people have taken that and twisted that too. Okay, fine. Oh, you know gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme that's your mantra. Gimme gimme gimme you know I'm asking and I'm believing I'm gonna get I'm gonna get you know but but why are you wanting give me give me where's love So God saying you know what would really make me happy is not that my children would say give me I want I want some more stuff I mean that's nice for you all because I know you

live on earth and and bodies and it needs to find all I'm asking in return is one little thing when you say give me before you give me and believe and receive Would you do me a favor just close your mind God says and I would like you just to think Is there anyone or anything in your life that comes to mind as maybe a wound or a limiting belief what I would like you to do is give me that you give me your wounds and limiting beliefs and in return I'm going to give you everything and that sounds like such a twisted arrangement we don't trust God because I mean what

kind of God's gonna go give me garbage and I'm going to give you life and flowers you know that's kind of weird but yet godson you don't understand when you give me your garbage your hurts your hates your limiting beliefs. You're giving me the only thing that keeps you from being me. So I see a great value in that.

So get clear about what you're asking for asked but get clear. First believe you know develop faith. What we're asking for is already ours. That's what that belief means. But it also means believe that you're deserving calm down man and all this stuff. All the thinking, well, this is a really big miracle that I'm asking for.

This one could take longer than another. There's no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not greater and lesser. It just looks like it on Earth. So get that out of the way as well. And like Martin Luther King, Jr, you may not always get every single thing that you're putting out for it. But it's impossible to not get it in some form. It's just that it may not happen now.

It's always happening in the great now but not always in our material. And even though our mind would say yet, but I would really like it. If it did. It's true, we would really would be excited. But if we knew what it was going to give us on the other side. Nobody would take the little manifestation over the greater manifestation.

So be careful with that. Another one is focus. Number five focus. Don't be anywhere else. When you pray. When you surrender, when you do forgiveness work, when you ask for something new when you do affirmation. Don't be anywhere else. Emmett Fox says you can have prosperity no matter what your present circumstances may be.

Men has dominion. Mankind has dominion over all things. When he knows the law of being and obeys the law gives you power to attain prosperity. When you're affirming and praying. It's giving you what you're doing is you're claiming, but first, get stuff out of the way and then claim with yours. You're a hypocrite.

If you try to claim abundance while still holding resentments, or limiting beliefs. When I say you're a hypocrite, I don't mean God's judging you. You're already judged within yourself. You know, you're being hypocritical when you say, I am the presence of God, and I deserve love and abundance and a new car. Now part of you knows Seriously dude, wasn't it just last night, you were telling somebody how much you dislike your boss about this, and that and wasn't your, you know, your sister got the inheritance instead of you. And, you know, come on.

Seems like a bummer. But what you have is a miraculous potential. Sit down and give up the stuff that's in the way, if you're not receiving, something's in the way, so affirming is good. But you got to make room. And then the sixth one, giving and tithing.

This is a really important one, guys, give, give, give, give, give, just do what you can to give wherever you can. However, you can give we don't all understand this, we think, well, now Wait, if I have $1, and I give it away, I now don't have $1. You know, I know this one is the hardest one to describe. Because I just learned to believe in it.

And I know it's the truth. And it works. But I can't tell you to do it. Because if I say going give your car so you can manifest a new one. And then you're walking to work the next day. My conscience can't do that. So I can't just tell you go and do it. I know that these things work, but I wouldn't tell people to do it.

It would be like you know, telling you to follow a specific diet telling you to you know, read a particular book everyone at different books going to be helpful to some and not another a diets going to be helpful to some and not another. And by the same principle giving just generally speaking, though, I will say give however you can. And I've always had a bit of a conscience about this because I stand as a spiritual leader.

So for me to stand up front and say, guys, guys, give be as generous as you can at the donations on Sunday. Also, though, in between Sunday's practice tithing, it looks too much like I have a vested interest. You see, there was a lady once who came in and said, I'm going to give a donation and it was 10s of thousands of dollars. And he hands me a check.

I said, Wait, tore it up. I said, let me tell you something. First. If If you write a check, and it's too much, I will get a bonus from that check. So cut it down so that it's smaller amounts over a few months, and then I won't get that bonus. Well, that wasn't very prosperous of me. But it was the right thing to do.

Because she wouldn't have known that you see what I'm saying. Now. She says, Oh, I know that I'm okay with it. That's for you to migrate. But I want to be clear, and I want to be conscientious. So when I say guys practice tithing, trust me on that. It's not with some like, like scheme behind it. It's not with an agenda behind it. Practice prosperity, we can use it to get by month to month. Yeah, absolutely.

This is a form of a business that we have rent. And you know those things, we have to do payments on all kinds of things. But it's also helpful for you. If you're only here once and you're hearing this and you go home and you never, we never hear from you again. For you. It's helpful. Give However, you can give to whatever is your spiritual source.

But don't stop there. It's first and foremost to what you what you believe, to be serving you, feeding you spiritually. And that can be a spiritual teacher. But let's say you have no spiritual teacher, you never go anyplace. It could be an author that you read, and it changed your life.

And if you don't have that, find something that represents spirit to you. Because if someone is out there, living their life, doing their best to be spiritual, they could use the support because it's not always there. For for those kinds of people, people doing spiritual work aren't the ones that typically make a great living, often they're not they're being of service, if your person was your social worker, if your person was your sponsor, whatever, I'm not saying all those you are allowed to do they, some of

them won't, won't, won't accept it. But those kinds of things to me are for some people, your spiritual food, what served you spiritually and, and give it as a gift. Okay, give. But secondly, besides the spiritual gift, just two people as well. However, you can, wherever you can, you know, to help animals to help orphans, charities, however, wherever stuff you can give away, but also just, it's like, you know, somebody said to me, when it comes to like, let's say, you and I go in a store separately and you you are

looking at something wanting to buy it. And it's something like, Oh, my God, that's great. I was looking for that. When I hear that you're looking for that to what I do is inside a determine which of us likes it wants it the most. I will not take it just because I wanted it if I feel like someone else's in that store, they were just looking at it. And I already even paid for it.

I got it first. That's not me. I'm like, yeah, isn't that great? Oh, god, yes. I'm gonna go up front and pay right now. They might say, and I'm testing I'm watching and feeling and I might say, What do you like about it? See, I'm testing it to see Oh, my God, I've always wanted one.

And my mother passed away. And she had one and it got lots of you think I can go home with that thing? No, I can't do it. So I'm like, Okay. And for in some instances, I said, you know, walk out of the store and say, let them have it free. I already paid for it. You know, and people think that's nuts.

Guys, I'm not saying it's always $1,000 item. I don't have big savings and all that. But keep giving and you're taking care of. But whatever amount I get on this in this lifetime. For the good things I've tried to do in my life. It's it is a consciousness that far surpasses what I'm going to see in the material dimension.

If you understand that you're doing really well. So give, just keep giving left and right. Give. Give your time. Give your conscience even when you think you know you there's something you want badly. Just understand. If you give, it can't be a loss. I remember one time even even the concept of dating. I had been divorced for a few years and had a date hadn't dated and all that.

And, you know, I didn't really know what I wanted to do with that. But one day something happened one day I went listen to this band, play some music and I really liked it. And I met this person. And it was like, there was nice camaraderie like a nice connection. So I think they are me if I would be willing to dance.

Oh, so you know, we danced and I thought this is really cool. There's a chance I would be interested here which for me, even my exit tell you that's really out there. You know, so it's like I'm really potentially interested. So musics really loud and one of us said to the other let's go out front and talk a little bit cuz we couldn't hear each other so we went out for it so how are you What's your name you know and I hear from them well I'm just starting a divorce and so on my mind immediately shifts How can I be helpful

Next thing I know I was giving advice support counseling feedback Thank you Take care of yourself done now there's a little part that you go you really messed that up dude you had your you know you had a shot there but that's not God So how am I going to answer that little voice that says you could have had you wanted that lawn more you wanted that date you wanted that soda whatever and somebody else got it doesn't matter the greater good should really be the compass for most of us and it sounds contrary to prosperity

which means get get what you can look at me I have more than you you know the prosperous people in the world a lot of times are like that they're very consumption us but you don't hear about the ones that are very giving it's not as popular it's not as well known partly because they're not boasting it because the consciousness of their abundance is also a humble consciousness I would rather be a prosperous person and humble than a prosperous person who had to take from people trust in the law of love making you abundant we actually think

there's a contrary bit here there's a contrast between God love etc and prosperity but that's just stuff you heard when you were a nun lifetimes ago that's not reality this is old programs let it go nuts can have some alright so the last it which is not the least is gratitude practice an attitude of gratitude an attitude of gratitude give thanks even before you see things manifest an attitude of gratitude an eagle nice pretty cool there is yeah may not see it on film but big Eagle outside the window here

so I mean and things like that synchronicities tho those are. Gratitude is not just what you get. Gratitude is, you know, you're in the zone and all of a sudden the eagle shows up, you know you're in the zone, know you're in the zone. When you when you let you know, let the counselor take precedence over the date with some of your going to go.

I didn't like that one thing you shared, Michael, because it's been years for me. Don't tell me I should do what you want to do. I'm only telling you follow the greater good. And guess what you become part of the greater good and the greater good is God. So you become part of God. So you missed a date, then you become part of God. Pretty cool. It's worth it.

you hook up with them. You're gonna regret it anyway, in wishing you're gonna start talking to God about taking them away. No, I'm kidding. No, they can go well, just nobody in this room. Now. It's a line from as good as it gets the movie.

You know, some people have picnics and happy times, just nobody in this car. He says, anyway, so coming to a close in my life, as a spiritual teacher, you know, what was popular in the 80s study groups. Remember that, you know, some of the old enough if he remembers it, we had a lot of people were doing study groups. And there were some new thought kinds of churches here in there.

So that's what I did. And it worked really well. But then things changed. The 90s came about now, it was new thought churches. But bookstores happened lot in the 90s. So you had to shift gears and be able to travel in teaching bookstores and so on. Some guys started writing books. By that time, you know, and so on.

And I did that and succeeded, then the 90s came in the 90s shifted, because, you know, things were really blowing open. Now, conferences were becoming very popular, so I did conferences and so on and tours. But then that changed and the bookstores faded away. If you hadn't noticed a lot of the new thought bookstores in Seattle area, there were almost 50 at one time in the 90s.

So speaking of bookstores worked and they're gone in the 2000s. So if you don't adapt, you're gone. Like in any kind of business. But as a spiritual teacher, the 2000s, you know, things changed. Again, a lot of things collapsed in the stores and conferences disappeared. And, you know, and I was kind of bummed, because I really like conferences.

But, you know, a handful of us were able to survive that shift as well. And then I, for me, it shifted into full on 40 weeks a year touring, and sometimes even more than that, but the 2000s became tour tour even more now, at tour tour, the bookstores disappeared. So you had to tour even more, there weren't local stores.

And so you have to adapt to that sort of things, you know, then then the 2010s, I was fortunate enough to shift again, and it was primarily coming and having a home base and also doing the social media, the internet kind of forms of teaching in any one of those arrows, there were, some people were succeeding, and then they wouldn't be able to carry over to the next.

Also students of mine that were in the 80s, a lot of times weren't in the 90s or the 2000, you know, they shifted, and it's not my teaching shifts, per se, I'm just going to God, man, I just keep going to God, and how I present that in the 80s is going to be different from the 2000s and so on. But if you're doing any kind of work, whatever it is, you better know how to adapt.

Or that may be one of the reasons why you're not seeing the abundance and prosperity you adapt. Now, for me, I don't adapt for adaption sake, I don't just go a better shift. So I can keep being successful. This is guidance. If you want to be prosperous, you need to love what you're doing. But you have to also be good at it.

Some of us love what we're doing. We're not very good at it. You may not succeed, some of us are good at it. But we don't love it. And you may not succeed, you gotta love it, you got to be good at it. There's one more thing it has to be something everybody wants, okay, you have those three things intact, and you're likely going to be prosperous at it, it's likely going to represent your souls purpose, got a loving God, be good at it.

But bring it those three things. Just like Buddhism, of course in miracles and 12 step programs, connect with God change you and bring the change to others. So you gotta love it. Like God, you've got to be good at it self. And you've got to know how to bring it to others.

Bring the change Be the Change you'd like to see in the world, bring the change to others represent the healthier version of that, whatever that is. And this is, you know, just ever so important. But keeping in mind you, you have to be able to adapt, you have to be able to say healing the healing part of the seven things I shared seven laws, one of them is healing and that means goodbye.

And so in my own life. I've already shared this once and probably for the last time I'll share again in my own life, what I did, it's fall and in about a year, I'm going to celebrate with you all we're going to celebrate something we're going to celebrate, it'll be like Unity's.

You know, I think it's going to be near near 70 years here this building, you know, this, whatever and, and then we're going to be celebrating I'll be 60 and then also I will have been here for 10 years. So I want us to kind of celebrate these various things. However, this is the fall time and it's a good time to say goodbye to things that aren't serving you guys yeah No kidding.

It's a good time it's fall the leaves are going to fall you know unclaimed fruits gonna fall. It's time. So what I did was I made myself a list of things because any one of your wishes, your dreams, your expectations, your hopes, any of those that are still on the tree when you're sitting around waiting for them to produce fruit.

I mean, you can go Okay, well that that that fig didn't quite mature and and but it's still on the tree. So I'm going to wait. And I was like midwinter. The thing has icicles coming off of it. And it's like a raisin. And you're like, waiting for a thing. It's gone. It's about to fall. And you're like, you know you with your glue gun, you know, to glue it back on the tree. You know, all it needs is some duct tape.

You don't try to duct tape your life back together. Man. It's dead. It's gone. But. But prosperity says miracles. Yeah, well, no, no, it's gone. The fig is gone. The tree. Whatever it's got. Don't keep trying to resuscitate it. You have a corpse of a dream. And you're like, you know, trying to resuscitate it. A relationship.

That's, you know, rigor mortis sets in man. We're like, stop trying to resuscitate Why are you the only one that still thinks there's life left in it? That's if you look cookie to some people, you especially spirit, they're like, what do they do? I don't know. This is just humans have this tendency. It's gone.

So I'm saying take an inventory of your life. Whatever is not producing its fall. Make a list of things now in the fall or at the very latest, the end of the year to say goodbye to make your list and do like a burning bowl ceremony today, next month, whenever a burning bowl type of ceremony and say goodbye. Now I'm saying this.

But humans get scared hearing that. But I'm saying to you, it takes courage. But you're actually part of the Living Dead when you're waiting for these things to be alive when they're not. I'm saying trust God enough to know that if you give these things up, any of them that have value will recycle. And come back in a healthy form.

Take the fruit, take the seed planted and get a new tree. Don't wait for the one piece of fruit that didn't produce it's dead to come back to life. I took my time I did my list. I put dreams I and even some that were lifelong dreams. Because they did an inventory.

It wasn't just like, here's a few things that aren't for this year. I went Wait, what about lifelong dreams. I just didn't like hey, we're just going for it. Some lifelong dream. Some relationship that you know this, you know, I put it out there. And some people aren't wanting to connect or or or healer, put them on the list. Whatever they happen to be dreams, promises, debts, understand that every one of your wishes, dreams, etc.

that have not been fulfilled, listen, their debts, their deficits, their debts, and they're draining you they are they become a leak. And it's taking energy from you. But the ego is going to say, but maybe tomorrow. Oh, you know, almost there. And it keeps you hook like a really bad investment. Okay, dinner. So that was an inside joke for folks watching from afar.

But you know, there's investments that some people have made, and I hear the heartbreak, you know, behind it, because dreams are there. Well, guys, what is part of your consciousness cannot be taken from you. So if these things are are ailing you and they're leaking you, that means that you're allowing a leaking consciousness, a deficit consciousness, a debt oriented consciousness, clean it out as best you can.

I can't say it's easy, because there's a part of me at the end here at there's a part of me that sat and thought, you know, this is kind of weird, I just said goodbye to everything, I have my list all but like a few things, which I'm going to do in a couple more months. But I I said goodbye like I my list, you know, certain friendships or certain this and investments or whatever it is, it's like Goodbye, goodbye. And I did a full process.

And at the end, it wasn't easy to realize. It's like, it's like, imagine you sitting down and saying, and now I have nothing in terms of dreams and hopes. One of them was, I would like to have manifested a one large new venue. So we could all have one giant service. And it's not easy to find in this town, on and on and on with that story.

But so what we did was we said, that's it. And I scratched from the list. And then comes the idea, we're going to do it anyway, we're just going to find a way to put in more chairs and packing up, we're going to have a single service, that's part of saying goodbye to something that was waiting for years to manifest, you follow.

So sometimes it's not going to take the form you would hope like a bigger building somewhere. But it is what it is there. There are people that have said to me, oh, when I sell my house, I can't wait. I'm going to tie their I'm going to give you a donation. When I get my inheritance, that's when they disappear. So I say I put them on the paper and goodbye instead of someday, if they come through, say, goodbye, guys.

If it's yours, it's coming to you from I'm a healthier source, you don't want to come in from somebody that would be lying and and, and withholding anyway, healthy only. So the moral of the story today greatly is healthy. Only when I went through the shifts from the 80s to the 90s and so on. I can tell you one thing, the shifts kept happening from one area to another as a teacher.

But one thing I put out there is healthy. I want integrity. So when they said, Let's shift to the new era, the last era and social media, I said no. Many times people have said, let me give you a donation, a big donation to buy a big property many times more often. I've said no, then yes, if there were agendas, and it's the same, and that sounds non prosperous, because process true prosperity has to have an integrity to it. Do you have the wherewithal, the commitment to God that you could say no

to stuff, including romance, when the greater good is in your mind, focus, God have focus on the real stuff here. So for me an integrity and I told them, we're not doing social media, you know, broadcast until I know that it can be done with a certain integrity and quality, but in integrity, and that's what we chose.

So my version of prosperity includes an integrity that may not be yours, yours may not be mine, but find your essence behind it. Don't just go looking for stuff, find stuff. After you find the goal, the alignment you're looking for. And I only choose stuff that's in alignment with that dead stuff doesn't fit it. So goodbye.

And if you don't say goodbye, trust me, there's a little pose that's running from those things that you're not even thinking you think about. But you are thinking about them unconsciously. And they are draining you snip them all. Shut them all down the valves, so that you can start filling up with new inspirations. And even though I made my list of a dozen, two dozen things, check them off almost all of them.

I immediately started receiving a better feeling inside for a year. But I also felt inspirations, a couple inspirations like this one. And I love the vibe in the room already. But you know, new inspirations, but lots of goodbyes, and those aren't easy. And if those are going to control you, then you better ask yourself why you're letting that be more important than your goal in God.

Alright, let's take a few centering breaths. Set aside the stuff of the world. Just shake that stuff off, little stretching of your neck and back just to get all the kinks of stuff of life out. Let's let that stuff passed away. Today's meditation is a decree a prayer a powerful one, but it's related to our material life.

It will affirm the goodbye of several things and the welcoming in of something new, but it involves opening our centers, spiritual centers, then cleansing them and then resealing them with what we've replaced with all that presence of God. We begin by opening our seals, allowing you father mother God, to enter our space here now and guide this journey, we are open to receiving the divine mother's presence and allowing her to bring out which is that which is unhealthy for us. It does not serve a purpose, thoughts, words, deeds,

beliefs, karma, and cleansing us and then refilling us with light only. So when the name of our father, mother, God, the Holy Christ that I am and the Holy Spirit, I affirm the presence of complete holiness in and around me, thus making sacred my spirit mind and body I affirm the guidance and assistance of my elder brother, Jesus, my spiritual sister, Mary Magdalene, my protector, Archangel Michael, and my beloved mother, Mary, and all Ascended Masters of light, my father, mother, God, whose presence is heaven is within all life, sacred and Holy

is Your Name, the I am within me, Your kingdom come and your will be done, manifested here. And now through each righteous choice that I make, just as it is in heaven. Bring to me this and every day, all that you will, to draw me closer to my remembrance of the Divine Christ within me and teach me to be as forgiving as you, I joyously choose your holy voices, my God, through moments of both inspiration and challenge that's receiving all the gifts you intend for me, I gratefully, gratefully affirm that

my will is no longer apart from your Divine Will. Instead, your will father, mother, God is my will, my will, is your will. Therefore, I choose to rise above my ego, so you can deliver me from all illusionary forces that seemed to manipulate me in mind, body or soul, I vowed to be more of God's kingdom and to extend this kingdom, each and every day, I joyously surrender all ego, manifestations of separation and lack and instead allow my physical and material life to reflect more and more of God at the end of each of the following decrees will close with I am as God created me, I

will to be the Christ on earth, I joyously surrender the ego manifestations that say that as a child, God's child, or as God's children, for that matter, we must remain financial, poor or limited in God's in God, there is no lack or poverty. I am made in God's image, and therefore I experience no lack or poverty.

God's will is for my financial abundance and freedom. I will be the will of God made manifest on Earth, therefore I will be prosperous. I demand the manifestation of God's will have prosperity and abundance for me and for all of God's children. I am as God created me I will to be the Christ on earth, I joyously surrender the ego manifestations of planetary forces that control this economy.

I call forth the manifestation of God's will, in which all people are free to live in an abundant life, my Christ, self exposes and consumes the ego manifestations of lack and limitation, I am free of this illusion. And I know that lack is a product of the ego and the ego sense of separation. I accept it with God, all things are possible.

Through my I Am Presence, I transcend all limitations. I am as God created in me, I will to be the Christ on earth, I joyously surrender the ego, manifestations of lack and limitation, such beliefs and their manifestations are against the will of God. When I seem to experience limitations, my soul has fallen into a state of separation from my I Am Presence.

I actively accept God's abundant life which is already mine, it is God's will, that I have an abundant life and thus I do not have to earn it. I now accept what God gives me freely. I am as God created me I will to be the Christ on earth, I joyously surrender the ego manifestations of financial lack that led me to believe that you have anything I have to take it by force or through manipulation, when I take things by force, instead of receiving them freely from God, I lose sight of the expansive aspect, mother aspect of the universe, this thought

is contradicted in generates a force that seeks to take away from me what I seek to possess in giving away the things of this world, I receive more of God and thereby more abundance is brought into the material world for everyone. I am as God created me I will to be the Christ on earth, I joyously surrender the ego manifestations of having to work until I'm exhausted to make any progress and prosperity in life.

I do not have to earn by living by the sweat of the brow. It is my Father's good pleasure to give me the kingdom and I set myself free through non attachment to things of this world. God is my refuge and security I live in God in God, I find my refuge, strength and fulfillment of all my needs. In God, I find everlasting peace as well as my true identity.

I am as God created me I will to be the Christ on earth. And lastly, I joyously invoke the sincere and humble consciousness of God's servant Magdalen, who demonstrated the ultimate receptivity of the soul when you devoted your life and love to Christ, your teacher, Jesus, beloved sister, teach me to recognize the Christ in my brothers and sisters, and to demonstrate my willingness to serve them, awaken me to the power that comes from setting my ego aside, and learning to understand that the last shall be the first and the first shall be last. Teach me what

it meant. When the Master said to us all, there is no one to condemn me. And neither do I condemn the now rise and sin, no more rise into prosperity and abundance. I am as God created me, I will to be the Christ on earth. And now in the name of my holy father, mother, God, the Holy Son, Christ, that I am my true identity, and the Holy Spirit, I accept that I am one with my I am presence and that through that oneness, I am sealed from all ego, illusions, and the appearances that they project under the screen of life.

Today, I am one with God, and with my brothers and sisters, and my true self, I affirm that Archangel Michael and his legions, consumers, the planetary forces of Anti Christ consciousness, my Christ, self exposes, and consumes all power previously given to my ego and all its manifest forms.

Having surrendered all the illusions, the prince of this world comes and finds nothing in me. The ego comes and finds no resonance here, nothing to push, no buttons, no strings, my physical life, and all its manifestations are the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Three times my physical life, and all its manifestations are the Lord's and the fullness there of my physical life.

And all its manifestations are the Lord's and the fullness there. My physical life and all its manifestations are the Lord's and the fullness thereof. God is raising the earth to a glorious new day today I choose to live and be the will of my Father Mother God today I choose the life of Christ Consciousness The kingdom of God is manifest in me and on earth now and forever and so it is gradually stretch out when you're ready breathe that in as a permanent shift it works in our centers in our consciousness specifically also the root chakra that has

to do with the material world our physical selves healing goodbye to the old healing the eagle is a part of yourself so when you see it you go an eagle came in to verify this is what I'm looking for what the building the room the Michael No, we're just symbols the thing inside the room. God the way of God that's what I'm determined to experience.

First of all, it's who I am. We started off by saying the center of the room is like God and the light emanating filling the room is Christ and that's who I am. So I'm already in the room. I just want to be part of things that helped me remember that when I don't I'm living in the darkness and if I only fall in worship the door I'm just kind of following superstition Goodbye, goodbye.

Enough of that I want to know what's on the other side and be what's on the other side. So thank you for your time and patience, guys. Really, really nice to to experience this.
