Prosperity Nugget -April 2010

Last month we worked at creating the vacuum. This month, the real work begins. As the quote above says, prosperity is a planned result, so this month we will be taking on three chapters of the book. Catherine tells us that there are three steps to get the result we are after, but we must have a plan.

Step 1. Chapter 4 "The Creative Law of Prosperity" Make a plan. Write out your desires concerning that plan and constantly expand it. Catherine tells us, "The first step in the creative law of prosperity is desire, and the ability to do something constructive about that desire." If properly developed and expressed, a strong desire always carries with it the power for success. It has often been said that a strong desire is God knocking at your heart. Right desire is truly the first step in solving problems and getting on the road to prosperity. Start getting serious about what desires you wish and write down your plan. Work with it daily by changing, expanding, and revising.

Step 2. Chapter 5 "The Imaging Law of Prosperity" Mentally imagining that plan as fulfilled is the next step. After you have truly worked to find what your true desire is, start visualizing what it will look like when it is made manifest. Those who have made a study of the mind and how it works tell us that man can create anything he can imagine; that the mental image does make the conditions and experiences of man's life and affairs; that man's only limitation lies in the negative use of imagination. Don't give in to the logical mind that says this will never work. If this were true, we would not have TVs, computers or space travel. Your imagining mind is your only limit.

Step 3. Chapter 6 "The Prosperity Law of Command" Constantly affirm its perfect fulfillment. Wayne Dyer's book, I Will See It When I Believe It, states that affirming constantly creates a belief in mind that, in turn, creates space in the universe for it to happen. We are taught in Unity that thoughts are things and the word is what brings about manifestation. Catherine tells us, "Through an attitude of authority, you can take control of the good which you wish to experience in life." Affirmations help us claim the "I Am" within each of us that gives us authority to call forth our desires. Take on the feelings you will have when your desire is met, and always have a mental attitude of gratitude.

Now it is time to go forth daily 1) writing down your desired good, 2) clearly visualizing what this will look like, and 3) affirming that this is true for you.
