Choosing Prosperity

Cultivating Miracles and Synchonicities

"Synchronistic" events or fortunate "coincidences" -- don't you just love when they happen? You're searching for some information and the next conversation you have, the next television show you watch, or the next song on the radio illuminates something absolutely appropriate. Or you make a commitment to yourself to take charge of something important in your life -- like taking better care of your health -- and that same day you receive a gift coupon for a month's membership at your local gym. Or perhaps you find yourself wandering through a bookstore when the perfect book seems to leap off the shelf at your feet.

We've all had these experiences. Yet some of us seem to enjoy these types of "lucky" breaks on a regular basis.

The question that we will focus upon in today's issue is: "Is it possible to increase our magnetism to the ideal people, opportunities, and synchronistic events simply by the way that we hold our energy?" If you are a longtime reader of this ezine you know that the answer to this question is an unequivocal, "yes!"

As we follow the steps of the "Prosperity from the Inside-Out" process, we automatically increase the likelihood of "predictable miracles" showing up in our lives.

In the "Action" section of today's issue, I share synchronistic client success stories. My hope is to breakthrough some of the limited thoughts you might have regarding how the Universe can transform your ethereal desires into material form and to expand your perspective regarding the role of your actions and
intentions in drawing prosperity into your life.

"Miracles come from your love. If you are willing to open your heart, to love yourself and others, life will always be a miracle. The degree to which you are open and loving is the degree to which miracles will come your way...Miracles are unexpected occurrences that bring you far more than you expect. They are synchronistic events that usually occur when you let go of attachment and trust your inner guidance. Miracles are the result of reaching inward to your soul." -- Sanaya Roman, Creating Money

Shocking Statement: We Did Well to Kick Up All That Fuss!

The response to last week's e-zine issue proves that the 16,083 readers of the "Prosperity from the Inside Out" e-zine do (If you missed it, please read it now at http://www.choosingprosperity.com/archive/pftio030807.htm or the rest of this message might not make sense.)

Within minutes of last week's broadcast, dozens of blog posts and personal emails began pouring in - each one reflecting a powerfully unique point of view.

And while some people feel strongly that effective use of the law of attraction means shielding oneself from anything that is not ideal, other readers are convinced that life will always offer us a balance of contrasting experiences and that it is up to us to 'selectively sift' through the contrast as part of our ongoing journey.

We're All In This Together...

I encouraged all writers - even critics - to post their comments here on the blog so that this would be a community-wide dialogue.

I did this because I understand that the 'law of allowing' is every bit as powerful as the 'law of attraction.'

As Abraham-Hicks, my favorite teachers of the Law of Attraction, explain:

Does The Law of Attraction Suggest Dodging Controversy?

"Are you enjoying the contrast of this time and place?" - typical introductory words in Abraham-Hicks "Art of Allowing" live workshops.

The article that I wrote last week on the topic of the controversy around 'The Secret' ('The Secret Controversy Heats Up') clearly struck a nerve.

Most interesting (to me) were the responses from people who chastised me (mostly privately) for giving attention to the 'controversy'.

The general message was:

'I thank you for these newsletters that you generate and appreciate the work you are doing. I feel I must however, step in and comment on your choice for discussing the 'controversy'.

We know that what we focus on grows - what we give attention to becomes larger. Why then are you giving any 'air time' to the controversy?'

For me, dear readers, this query highlights the exact reason that I am choosing to move into the 'controversy' instead of avoiding it.

It is true that, once we understand the law of attraction and how it works in our lives, we find that we must become very selective in our attention.

Concern About Focus on a Controversy

To those of you who have sent messages letting me know that, in your opinion, my posting a focus on a "controversy" is detrimental - that will, of course, depend on how you look at things.

As for me, when I first began studying Abraham (in 1999) I knew only one other person who had ever heard of this wisdom. My journey to understand the Law of Attraction and the full impact that LOA has on our lives was, at the beginning, a very solitary quest.

I am delighted to now see active discussions regarding the Law of Attraction in all venues and, personally, I find this whole experience exhilarating and provocative.

My intent is not to polarize - it is to spark lively cross-conversation.

So, no matter what your reaction to "The Secret", your views are welcome here.

Remember:

"It is not necessary for even one other person to understand the Laws of the Universe or the processes that we are offering here in order for you to have a wonderful, happy, productive Life Experience for you are the attractor of your experience. Just you!" Abraham-Hicks

Keys to Creating Prosperity from the Inside-Out

1. Your outer manifestations always mirror what is going on inside you.

2. When you change your inner programming, the external results will change accordingly.

3. If you don't have something that you want, it is because you are not energetically (mind-body-soul) aligned with it.

4. If you have something in your life that you don't want, it is because right now you are in energetic alignment with it.

5. Whether you want something you do not have, or you have something that you do not want, when you learn to consciously shift your energy you will attract totally different results.

6. The laws of the universe are totally clear and absolutely consistent!

7. To change your attraction: 1st) Get clarity about what you want, 2nd) Align your energy with it, and 3rd) Commit to receiving it and it will be yours.

8. Simply knowing something on an intellectual level gives you very little power. When you take a truth and internalize it so that it becomes who-you-really-are on a cellular level, you will radiate that truth outward and your entire experience of life will be changed.

9. The fastest way to block your efforts to create the life you love is to get caught up in a negative energy spiral. Any action taken from a place of lack (fear, anxiety, poor self-esteem, separation/scarcity consciousness) will be motivated action (pushing fear/discomfort away) and will be counterproductive.

10. The fastest way to propel yourself towards the manifestation of your dreams is to: 1) learn the intricacies of the universal laws, 2) consciously line up your energy with what you want and 3) take action (positive, flowing, enthusiastic action) from a place of inspiration (pulling your good towards you) rather than motivation.

Lessons from Quitting the Prosperity Game

'The Universe makes no distinction between the vibration you offer in response to what you are living and the vibration that you offer in response to what you are imagining, so this Prosperity Game Process is a powerful tool for shifting your vibrational point of attraction.' -- Abraham-Hicks

Dear Ones,

We certainly have cause for celebration.

On 9/15/06 we registered our 10,000th Prosperity Game Player.

Interestingly enough, however, our game statistics reveal that the average visitor stops playing the game once they reach the $5000-level.

That's something worth considering.

Are you still playing the Prosperity Game?

Many of you are.

Browsing the contributions at the game discussion forum we see hundreds of posts from people who are challenging their money set point with this powerful game experience.

But hundreds of others have simply stopped playing.

Are you one of them?

If yes, why is this so?

Mastermind Discussion Regarding 'resistance'

"Perhaps you've heard the phrase, "What you resist, persists." Now that you know more about the Law of Attraction, that phrase should make even more sense. As we focus on money and experience a sense of resistance and lack we become vibrational magnets for future experiences of financial lack because whatever we resist or "push against" will show up even stronger in our lives.

Ø Every time we see something that we want and feel sad because we can't have it - we are pushing it away from us.

Ø Every time we see someone get something that we want and we feel jealous - we are putting ourselves outside the path of receiving something just like it.

Ø Every time we focus on not having enough we are attracting that exact experience ("not having enough") back into our experience."

Placing Your Order With the Universe

Dear Ones,

Wait, wait, wait!

Before you charge forward into the fray at full speed with single-minded determination to achieve your fall objectives...

Stop.

Take a pause.

Yes, I know that 'Labor Day' marks the end of 'summer slacking' and fall is all about 'taking action' and 'getting ahead.'

Yes, I know that there's 'so much to do' and (it seems) not enough time to do it in.

Yes - but...

If you truly want to be on the receiving end of the priceless help and support of the Universal Law of Attraction...

Now is the time for you to 'pause' the action so that you can align yourself with the magnificent benefits of having the Universe as your 'collaborative' partner in the achievement of your goals.

It Really Does Work...

I know that I, too, can get swept up in the energy of the 'action-oriented' mind set.

The weather changes, back-to-school shopping begins, and we look at our goals for the year and realize that it is only a matter of months before 2006 comes to a close.

But...I am fortunate to have experience playing the game of life first, without a rule book and second, with a clear understanding of the Laws of the Universe, and I can say, with total conviction, that I've accomplished feats beyond my imagination since I put myself in the zone of 'Deliberate Creation.'

No Such Thing as Stuck!

Dear Friend,

Indulge me for a moment.

Think of an area of your life that is not working in the way that you would like to see it work.

You can focus on a relationship that is problematic, a work challenge that is not yet resolved, a financial situation that seems to be getting worse instead of better, or a physical illness that seems to show no signs of improvement.

Now that you are focusing one particular subject, ask yourself - on a scale of 1 to 10 - how much do you really expect this situation to change?

If the 'challenge' is not new but has been going on for a time (and if you are very truthful with yourself) you'll likely come to recognize that you don't really expect this particular situation to change.

Prosperity Challenge: Activate Your Creative Potential by Focusing on What You Do Want

Pay special conscious attention this week. Note what are you seeing 'out there' that you'd like to see be different. Now ask yourself, 'what needs to change within me so that I can be a magnet to a new reality?'

You may find yourself looking face-to-face: at debt, at relationships in disrepair, at health challenges, at a world at war.

Don't shrink back.

There is no such thing as 'incurable'.

You have the capacity to move your energy and to be a force of transformation in each of the areas listed above.

Take the war in the Mid-East for example.

I avoid watching the TV news in my own home, but I can't always avoid it when I am out. As I catch news stories of the violence in Israel, Lebanon and Iraq, I find myself triggered into thoughts of
a low vibrational nature.

It takes focus to consciously 'pivot' at which point I find myself remembering this Chinese proverb:

'If there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. If there is beauty in the person, There will be harmony in the house. If there is harmony in the house, There will be order in the nation. If there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world.'

In short - if you want to see peace out there, you must first find peace within.

So, as you find yourself frustrated that they don't seem to be able to come to a resolution 'out there', ask yourself, 'where, in my own life, might I be blocking peace?'

This is the ultimate act of someone who wants to live the law of attraction and become aligned with their inner being at all times.

Just last week I made this identical commitment - which led me to initiate two difficult telephone conversations (one with my mother and one with my ex's new wife) and one attempt to resolve a conflict using the tools of Marshall Rosenberg's NVC (www.cnvc.org.) I decided to hold myself up to the highest standards in transparent communication and was rewarded by intense experiences of soul-connection and healing and renewed clarity in each instance.

Although I can not claim that my actions will change something significant on the world stage, I know that I am following Gandhi's proposal to 'be the change I wish to see.'

And, as those experiences spurred me to write this editorial, perhaps the wave of healing will continue to flow as other's are inspired to hold their visions of what we want to create - even in 'trying' times.

And, while we're on the subject, what do you want to create? We want to know. We'd like to support you more thoroughly in our e-zine and programs. Take a moment to visit
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=148312440581 to let us know.

Here's to gaining clarity on what we don't want so that we can create more of what we do want!

Go for it!

Light and love,

Elyse Hope Killoran
