So, building a consciousness of abundance, i.e., coming to a point of realization that matter (the outward manifestation) is the effect rather than the cause that arises out of our habitual thought, beliefs and knowledge. The power is always in the meta or nonphysical reality. We have this power because we are expressions of the One or all-that-is.

That said, I still think it is difficult to change someone who has had a lack or poverty consciousness all of his life to that of an abundance or prosperity consciousness. If you look at people like the very wealthy who have always had the experience of abundance and have never known the experience of lack, they have a consciousness of wealth already ingrained in their psyche. They really have no conception within their consciousness to really understand poverty because they have never experienced it. Or someone like Donald Trump who has achieved a great deal of wealth with his real estate (hotels, etc.), he can come back from bankruptcy or the appearance of lack and achieve the same or higher level of wealth within a short period of time. It’s becase hee has a wealth consciousness. He literally doesn’t know how to be poor.

On the other hand, though I believe not impossible, it can be difficult to reverse the consciousness of someone who has lived in poverty all his life. Since one of the basic tenets of working with the Law of attraction is to have the feeling of whatever one is trying to manifest, in this case, abundance, someone who has been poor, does not have a framework with which to imagine the feeling.

But all is not lost — I do believe it is possible, just not as easy as presented by some LOA teachers and coaches in the field. I do believe a combination of a belief system that says that we are One with the Infinite, affirmative prayer, faith, visualization, and hypnosis can effect changing one’s consciousness, but that is where it has to start, not in the external world of effects.

It is our natural tendency to believe in limited possibilities based on our past experience. So we look at our life and think this is as good as it gets. Then we strive and work hard out there to change it but inside we are feeling tense about our financial situation and it all feels like a big struggle. We keep getting the same thing because we keep holding the same desperate feeling.

So, shift your feeling/thinking mind to what you want to become – happy, at peace, joyful, safe – and you will naturally be drawn to people, events and circumstances that match what you feel like a magnet. It is much easier to attract money this way. We tend to get what we expect to happen. So expect the best and the worse and things flow more naturally to you, less work, less struggle. It takes about 30 days to shift your mind in a new direction so practice some form of hypnosis/visualization every day – you can tap in to a happy memory to engage the feeling to help with the visual. Your mind does not know the difference between what you are thinking and what is happening in the outside world so you are basically retraining it to believe something new. With practice, this gets easier and easier.

let me know if that answers your question. Thanks for your comment, I am sure some others may have had the same question.

“This means that you should stop reaching outside to get it and pull your energy and focus inside so that the abundance can appear to you.”

What do you suggest we focus on, if not the feeling or visual of money coming in to us? What is abundance inside of us supposed to look like? It’s hard to feel an abstract idea without some direction.

Thanks for a great advice.
