Wealth At Hand
By Christine Agro
Manifestation, specifically the manifestation of money can be a full time preoccupation. But that preoccupation can stop our manifestations from happening. I was recently listening to Mantra Meditation for Creating Abundance by Thomas Ashley-Farrand and a phrase that he used resonated so deeply with me. To paraphrase he said ‘when we want to manifest money what we are really asking for is to have “Wealth At Hand”. Abundance can be many things; abundance of love, abundance of debt, abundance of chaos. So how do we create an abundance of wealth? How do we manifest all that we want?
Although philosophies such as “The Secret” suggest that focused attention on your goal is the key to success, what we fail to realize is that the place from which we attempt to manifest can actually stop our manifestations from coming in. If you are trying to create through your Ego or your Mental Body, if you are creating out of fear or lack, chances are you will not be able to fully create what it is you desire.
The Ego is that part of us that thinks it knows everything, that part that knows better. That part that wants to create something because someone else has it, or we feel we are owed or entitled to something, the part the holds our victim energy. The Mental Body is that part of us that needs to figure everything out. The part that analyzes, or even over analyzes how we get from “A” to “B”. Or even worse, the part of us that feels the need to control how we will get from “A” to “B”.
Manifestation attempts that come from fear and lack start with a pure focus on money and we will never manifest money through fear. Money is simply energy. In the reality we live in, money has been given an inordinate amount of weight. We either have it or we don’t. We chase it, it controls us. However, if you look at money as an exchange of energy - for example I have this and I need or want that; I exchange what I have for what I need or want. The weight on ‘money’ goes away.
The key to manifesting what we want is living as Spirit. If we are living as Spirit, when we seek to manifest we manifest through our Spirit with our ego and our mental body available to receive guidance from our Spirit.
3 steps to manifesting through Spirit
Stating Our Passion and Purpose
Stating our passion and purpose is the first step to living as Spirit. A statement does not have ‘the how’ or ‘when’ or ‘in what way’ that something is going to happen. When we add these elements we are speaking from the Mental Body and/or the Ego which strive to control how something manifests. That control can stop our manifestations from happening.
Here’s an example of a passion and purpose statement: To be a voice and an advocate for children. When presented this way we allow Spirit to guide and direct us in how our passion and purpose manifests in our life. You may become a pediatrician, a social worker or maybe a teacher, but Spirit will guide you to the path that is right for you.
Now here’s an example of a passion and purpose statement controlled through the Mental Body and the Ego. I want to be a voice for children by having my book on the New York Times Best Sellers list. That didn’t even feel good to write. Can you see/hear the Ego dynamic in the statement?
The Ego seeks for us to be validated, to be seen, but external validation requires that we give power away in order to receive that validation. When our validation comes from within we create our own power.
Handing Everything Over To Spirit
Once we understand that Spirit will guide us for our highest good, it is simple to release to Spirit all of the worries and concerns generated by our Mental Body and our Ego. And by simple, it truly is simple. Sit in meditation, or if you don’t meditate, close your eyes and ask your Spirit to handle whatever it is that you are worried or concerned about. This request comes through the heart space – not through the mind. As soon as you do this you may notice an immediate sense of release, even relief. If you find yourself focused on the same concern, trying to figure out how you’re going to make something work, release it to Spirit again. The more you do this, the more you recognize when it is your Mental Body or your Ego that is trying to make something happen.
Stepping into Certainty and Knowingness
As we evolve, our Spiritual journey takes us from a place of unconsciousness, to a state of Trust and Faith and eventually to a place of Certainty and Knowingness. In our unconscious state we live in fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear that we cannot survive. When we move into a state of Trust and Faith we live in the knowingness that ‘something’ greater than us; the Universe or God or we even see our higher self as something outside of ourselves but we acknowledge that this ‘something’ will provide for us. When we move into Certainty and Knowingness we acknowledge that the ‘something’ greater is us. It is our Spirit that provides all that we need, that holds the plan for our life and that guides us if we just release and listen.
The New Earth
Eckhart Tolle made “The New Earth” a household phrase. Living as Spirit is how we will create The New Earth which is an earth with infinite possibilities, one where we choose to live in consciousness and knowing. Where we manifest with grace and ease, through Spirit and one where our Mental Body and our Ego accept guidance from our Spirit.
