Question about prosperity

How does one encourage prosperity through faith?
Visualization. meditation and attracting all seem to me to emanate from the human mind which to be fair usually will help one to manifest desired wishes and outcomes.

Undoubtedly, God can deliver prosperity and abundance more quickly and comprehensively than the human mind,

I am learning to be grateful to the Universe and the Presence murmuring thanks at the beauty of the world around me.

Should I directly ask for more prosperity or focus on what prosperity I already possess, enjoy and utilise?

At times it seems our thinking thinks us, but that’s only because we’ve been programmed to react in certain ways. We are most likely upset by what our parents, our peers, or our community taught us to be upset by, and by the way, still teach us to be upset by! They even taught us how to be upset in the first place! The point to keep in mind when desiring to increase your prosperity is that upset requires energy, your energy.

Reflect back to how you reacted when someone said something you didn’t like. Say, they called you a name. Did that feel good? Yet why would a small puff of air be able to cause such upset? Truth is, it can’t. Only we can cause our own upset in any situation. It isn’t the air that caused us to feel bad; it was our judgment of what that small puff of sound “meant.” What words mean is usually what we have been programmed to believe they mean. Now there may or may not ever be a time when that word we don’t like will no longer have any meaning for us, but there is a way to let go of our judgment of it in a way that frees more and more of our energy up for purposes other than upset. That freed energy contains tremendous potential for us to use it for prosperity purposes of our own cause, not our programmed cause of defensiveness or upset.

What does this have to do with prosperity? Everything. Prosperity is an intention, and intentions take energy to manifest. If we can conserve our energy and then use that newly conserved energy to power up our intentions, what happens is that we become more inspired, and inspired action always works to our good. Our good can be any form of wealth we desire, where wealth is defined as an increase in any area of our lives that is important to us. Because without fail, each and every time we increase the amount of energy we put behind our prosperity mindset, greater and greater wealth happens for us. This is a Universal Law, and it happens every time.

Again, this example isn’t about liking being called names because that may never happen. This is about taking hold of our own personal power and using it to cause an increase in our wealth. Like all increases, more wealth requires more energy. Where else will we find that energy other than from what we are willing to generate at any one time? The Universe has unlimited energy, but out of that we are only willing to allow in a specific amount at any given time. This is why we can gain so much for ourselves from redirecting the energy we are already using for upset, anger, worry, and doubt. Imagine if we could take the energy of feeling upset, bad, or worried and instead reclaim that energy for our use? We can! Think of how much energy we use for these self-defeating purposes. Just think about it. I will ask you to think a lot. If someone says the same exact word to you that so upsets you, yet in another language, would you react to it? No! So it isn’t necessarily the “meaning” of the word because language doesn’t change that; it’s our decision to be upset over something specific that dictates our reaction. If we then decide to do something else, that way our focus will be turned to another area other than upset. If that area is one that is aligned with our intentions for allowing in our good, then the sheer prosperity leverage gained from that shift in energy focus will be enormous.

One important note. The energy required to gain more prosperity, just like the energy that creates worlds, doesn’t really come from us. What comes from us is the intention behind requesting new worlds be created. This is what I mean by leveraging our prosperity energy. If our newly reclaimed energy is used to more clearly request, and then allow in, our good, then the whole Universe aligns with us. The Whole Universe! That would mean that, for any gain in our wealth, there are unlimited resources available to us, if we but allow that truth to truly work for us instead of fighting it by saying, for instance, “No way! I’m too upset right now!” Usually with wealth, we’re upset because we think that our good is either not coming or that it’s not here already. Yet either way, we get to have the energy of our thoughts manifest because it’s exactly as Henry Ford said: “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way you are right.”

So let’s start increasing our wealth consciousness so that we can have a dramatic increase in prosperity or in any area of our lives that is important to us. What is the first thing you are “thought” of when you hear the word “Prosperity”? Usually for people it’s money. Yet money is most definitely not prosperity! Being thought that money is prosperity is merely our programming again dictating what we believe. But we don’t have to be slaves to our past any more. All it takes to be free, with all of our present moment energy available for whatever goals we desire to have manifest, is to tell the truth. Truth is, money is the end result of a prosperity mindset! True prosperity is being in the ever-increasing flow within any area of your life that is important to you, including money. For some people, say farmers, more cows represent prosperity. Those cows allow the farmer to produce more product and then have the end result of money or food. Those cows also allow the farmer to have the end result of being in the process of being a farmer to begin with. That process might be one that is joyful or satisfying, more results. Or for others, successful friendships represent prosperity and are the end result of a prosperity mindset with regard to other people. Because it was the first handshake, the first smile, and then the continuing increase in these areas, or the flow of friendship consciousness, that is prosperity. One thing holds true for this prosperity flow regardless of the manifestations you desire and that is this: true prosperity is not even the cows, it’s the willingness to allow in the manifestations of prosperity for any one of us. For a writer he may have to allow in the publication of his books or his creative ability; for an artist, her paintings; a friend, more friendships; or for a doctor, his healing abilities.

Why is prosperity the flow and not the end result? Because without the flow of a prosperity mindset which supports you in beginning to manifest what you desire, be it money, relationship, career, cows, paintings, robust health, or friendships, there can be no end result. You can work for and wish for any end result you desire, but it is only a letting go of control along with the allowing in of your good, that will result in the manifestation of what you have asked for. A big stumbling block, for instance, is to ask for your increase and then be impatient that “It’s not coming!” Simply by making the statement, “It’s not coming,” you are taking the stand for and getting to be right about “It’s not coming!” That would be a mindset of lack, the opposite of a prosperity mindset. A prosperity mindset would sound more like “I know my good is already here now, and all I have to do is allow in that truth in order to have it.” For whatever beliefs you have, that good might take one hour, one minute, or one year to manifest, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t here for you, right now, and all the time. That just means that, if you asked The Universe for the right and perfect manifestation, It will determine exactly when the best time for you to have it is. We can ask, we can allow, but only The Universe has the unlimited knowledge that will determine what the form what we have asked for comes in and when. A prosperity mindset knows this and simply trusts this truth.

When I was impatient, waiting for my big breakthrough, I had to relax, breathe, and tell myself that in truth my good was indeed expanding right in that moment. I also had to trust that this was true, despite circumstances, despite feelings of doubt, and despite anything at all regardless. Faith isn’t about having confidence when circumstances are going well; it’s about having confidence that all is well, regardless of circumstances. Only then, after you have taken a stand for your good, will circumstances begin to shift positively in your direction because faith always precedes manifestations. And what precedes faith? Why, a prosperity mindset of course!
