Yes, . . .
"Prosperity Abundance Consciousness" is about "money", as money is a tool to bring about much good in the world; yet Prosperity Abundance Consciousness is much more. It is about God's Abundance, an extravagant abundance ("My Cup Runneth Over"), a Limitless Abundance, an abundance of - love, joy, happiness, beauty, purpose, peace, faith and understanding.
Yes, our cup could be filled and running over if we would accept our own God-given Divinity. Not Divinity as a "God", but "of" God, the Essence which brings into our lives all that God has created for us.
God IS: Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, Divine Love, Lord, Allah, Yahweh, Total Peace - IT is the same. Timeless, changeless, everywhere present, miraculously powerful to heal and to renew life, to bring joy and courage, peace and wisdom, laughter and spontaneity.
Prosperity Abundance Consciousness is about being the best that we can be and giving the best we can, experiencing all that God has to offer us, reaching for, achieving and giving of our God-given talents, being True to our Essence and knowing we are truly blessed - and then being thankful.
One with God, we are Co-Creators with God in Spirit and Mind; we are of God-Consciousness. God is all there is. God is Everywhere and Every thing. God surrounds us, is in us, and all that is required of us is to open ourselves to God's presence, our Essence! And so it is! Namaste'.
Namaste', an ancient Hindu bow of sacred greeting made by placing the palms together, thumbs against the chest and nodding the head slightly. Namaste' acknowledges that the "God (or Christ) in me honors the God (or Christ) in you." Namaste'It . . .
has been said that a prosperous person is one who is at ease, in harmony with her world, whole and free to do what she wants when she wants to do it. Prosperity is more than a material experience, it is having close, trusting relationships. It is having friends in your life with whom you enjoy sharing your experiences. It means having a successful family life and living in harmony with those people whom you love and who love you. Prosperity means having a healthy body, strong and full of energy, and vibrant peace of mind that allows you to sleep well at night. (Paraphrased from Stuart Grayson & Mark Victor Hansen)
Prosperity and abundance are produced by first recognizing that they are "thought." Thought produces fact. A "thought" of poverty can produce the fact of poverty. A "thought" of abundance can create abundance and prosperity. A thought of despair and loss, can create them. As we sow, so shall we reap. As we so think, so shall we reap.
"You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair." - - - Ernest Holmes, Living the Science of Mind
Emerson writes: "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind." It is important to recall that it is not really for lack of abundance that you are experiencing want, but for lack of awareness of the ever-present reality of divine substance and the faith to shape it into manifest form. - - - Eric Butterworth.
“You are forgiven, so get off it!” - Edwene Gaines
SPIRITUAL ABUNDANCE CONSCIOUSNESS LESSONS:
I wish above all things that you may be prosperous and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.
Prosperity is not mere material for vainglory, but an opportunity for achievement. Poverty is no disgrace to acknowledge, but a real degradation to make no effort to overcome. (Paraphrased from 3 John 1:2)
"You are what your deep, driving desire is. As your desire is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed, so is your destiny." Brihadaranyaka Upanishad IV.4.5
"Before all Time, before all worlds,
Before the dawn of every age, the dawn of every works,
Is God! And He remains
Beyond all coming ages, and beyond
All unthought worlds that yet may be!
"He is, in all that is, in all that not yet is:
Even to-day He dwells in the tone of the chord
That to-morrow will draw from the strings of my harp."
- - - Namdev, 1270 A.D.
Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. - - - Napoleon Hill
You must labor each day as if your life hung in the balance. You must learn that with patience you can control your destiny. You must chart a course or you will drift. You must prepare for darkness while traveling in the sunlight. You must smile in the face of adversity until it surrenders. You must realize that plans are only dreams without action. You must sweep cobwebs from your mind before they imprison you. You must lighten your load if you wish to reach your destination. You must never forget that it is always later than you think. You must never strive to be anything but yourself. - - - Og Mandino
I live in an abundant universe. I always have everything I need. - - - Sanaya Roman & Duane Packer
"I bless you with the awareness that you are one with your own personal flow of the Universe in which there is a legitimate royal abundance for every living creature.
- - - Eric ButterworthI absolutely love God and all God's creation - - including myself.
People are of different spiritual temperments, and therefore will approach God in different ways. - - Huston Smith
Each of us is an individualized expression of the creative process, no matter how circumstances have obscured reality. - - - Eric Butterworth
The source of all creation is pure consciousness and pure potentiality. The universe operates through giving and receiving, the flow of energy. Every action generates a reaction, a force of energy. When we choose actions that bring happiness and success to others, then the fruit is happiness and success. When we harness the forces of harmony, joy and love, we create success and good fortune with effortless ease. Intention and desire have infinite organizing power. Detachment produces the wisdom of uncertainty; he wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. Stepping into the unknown, the field of all possibilities surrenders us to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe. Everyone has a purpose in life, a unique gift or special talent to give to others. The ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit is the ultimate goal of all goals. (Paraphrased from Deepak Chopra)
Aligning With THE SOURCE
I acknowledge that God and the Source are One.
I acknowledge that I am One with God/Source,
and thus God/Source's Power, Imagination, Reasoning & Intellect
are my Source and available to me.
I claim and accept this Source for me in attaining my highest good
and fullest potential.
I thank the Source for being One with It.
I release this treatment for attaining my highest good and fullest potential,
and release any doubts that I am One with the Source.
This treatment through the Source acts upon me as I believe.
And so it is!I believe that God is in me, as the sun is in the color and fragance of a flower, the Light in my darkness, the Voice in my silence. - - Helen Keller
Fix in your mind exactly what you desire. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for what you desire (no pain, no gain; no some-thing for nothing). Establish a definite date when you plan carrying out your desire, and put your plan into action. Write out a clear, concise statement of your desire, your timeframe, what you intend to give in return, and describe clearly the plan through which you will accomplish it. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once before bedtime and once after waking. As you read, see, feel and believe that you have already accomplished your goal. (Paraphrased from Napoleon Hill)
God is like a vast ocean of love, and the Milky Way galaxy is but a speck of foam floating in that ocean. - - Rumi
"Every noble work is at first impossible." - - - Thomas Carlyle
What today is impossible, tomorrow becomes possible.
If you have a financial problem, perhaps a great need for increased prosperity, "What do have in the house?" Where is your consciousness? Borrow additional vessels, which means, raise your consciousness, widen your horizon of faith. Identify yourself with the idea that you are entitled to the boundless support of the Universe. Really believe this!
- - - Eric Butterworth"To be what we are and to become what we are capable of becoming is the only creed of life." - - Robert Louis Stevenson
Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks receives, she who seeks finds, and to her who knocks, the door will be opened.
Thank you for the blessings in my life and in the lives of those near and dear to me. I greet this day with a loving attitude of gratitude. I know that wherever I may be, so too is God, and therefore know that all is well and that I am truly blessed.
This is my prayer; Unite out hearts that all may learn to live as one. A world united in its love of freedom, proclaiming peace.
Open your heart and your mind to create an Abundance Consciousness and Prosperity. Maintaining an attitude of openness, belief and expectancy. Affirm your commitment to Noble Truths as they can change your life for the good - forever.
I have created you in my image and likeness and, YOU ARE GOOD!
Go into the darkness unafraid.
I am here to LOVE. I am here to KNOW TRUTH, and to TEACH TRUTH. I am a God-centered AFFIRMATIVE THINKER.
Watch you spiritual priorities. The goal should not be to make money or acquire things, but to achieve the consciousness through which the substance will flow forth when and as you need it. - - - Eric Butterworth
I release my own creative ingenuity, my own strength and wisdom which can handle any problem successfully.
"Be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind." One of the unerring Truths in the Universe is that there is already provided a lavish abundance for every human want. In other words, the supply of every good always awaits the demand. Another Truth is that the demand must be made (Ask and you shall receive) before the supply can come forth to fill it. - - - H. Emilie Cady
All that life is, is mine to use. Harmony, health, wealth, joy, success, love peace, wisdom, and happiness. The Law of Circulation is active in my life now. I give generously. I receive abundantly!
I know that within myself, there is that Life which is Perfect, Complete, Divine. It was never born, and it cannot die; for it lives and is God. Within myself is the Wholeness, Peace, Poise, and Power of Life. This Life is Health. It is Abundance. It is Love. There is only One Life, and It is the Life of God, and this Life is my life now.
Just say: "That was then. This is now." - - Rev. Linda McNamar
Shape your future or be shaped by it! Either you control your own destiny, or external forces will take charge. Mastery, the active choice of being the very best you can be, makes a profound life difference. Commitment to mastery positions you to both determine your destination and experience a higher-quality journey. - - Eric Allenbaugh
Faith Is an affirmative spiritual, mental and emotional attitude that cannot conceive of tis opposite. Faith is absolute. Anything less than complete faith is not faith. It is Impossible to have "a little faith." - - Donald Curtis
Responsibility for our lives lies not in our stars, but in ourselves. (Paraphrased from Bill Shakespeare)
A Powerful Prayer (Treatment) for Relationships:
There is One Infinite Intelligence, One Source of all Life, One Eternal Life-Giving Force. I call it God and IT IS Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent. IT IS being me and IT IS being all, including my life and my relationships.
I recognize that I am One with this power and presence, as is my relationship. From this place of awareness I awaken to a greater idea about life and my relationships, and I move forward in life and relationships with genuine ease and grace.
I recognize the Power of God as my Power and I open up to possibility, to opportunity and to Abundance and it is natural for me to be Abundant and to have excellent relationships. The wealth of God is my wealth, and it is forever flowing in my life and my experience. The love that is God is expressing through me by becoming me and in this state I am aware of the love that is constantly surrounding me.
I understand the Law of Cause and Effect and I see it working in my life. I realize that the Law of Attraction and I see it operating in my life and affairs. With this realization and awareness, I remember the power of my thoughts and I align them with Truth and the result is a change in my circumstance and relationships. My life and my relationships are growing, expanding, nurturing and prospering now and always. Everything necessary for this shift is present and available now and the changes occur with ease, effortlessness and grace.
My life and my relationships are Divine Ideas in the Mind of God and supported and sustained in that Mind. My life is a safe place filled with joy, peace and love. People are attracted to the ideas we share and lives are changed.
All has been given and I willingly, lovingly and expectantly receive it. This is the beginning of a glorious and exciting adventure, and I am ecstatic as I celebrate the journey.
I am grateful for the ever-expanding consciousness of my life and my relationships. I am grateful for the constant flow of love and abundance through my life. I am grateful for the wonderful relationships in my life. I am grateful for the joy and love that indwells in all my activities. I am grateful for the constant and continuous growth and abundance in me and my relationships.
Excited, ecstatic and ready, I release this IDEA into the Law and I receive it NOW. I let go and let God and everything flows in with ease, joy and grace.
And so it is. Amen.
I do not pray for a lighter load, but a stronger back. - - Philip Brooks
"The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God." - - - Dr. Ernest Holmes
Today, I enter into the limitless variations of self-expression which the Divine Source projects into my experience. Knowing that all experience is a play of Life upon Itself, I enter into the game of living with joyful anticipation and enthusiasm. I play the game of life well and enjoy it!
Today, I am more aware that the Kingdom of Heaven is Within. And in this new awareness, I focus only on the Good. God is my life, therefore my life is Good. Today I practice the Love, the Peace, the Christ-like forgiveness in my everyday activities, knowing that God is all the Presence there is. I feel and accept this Presence in everyone. I permit God's Love to envelop everything and everyone as I am lovingly guided in all my ways. I meet every situation in joy, calmness, happiness and love. As I commit to life unto this Presence - - this Power - - I know all is in Divine Order right now. And we simply say Amen. - - Ida Baker
Prayer does not change God, but it changes him (or her) who prays. - - Kierkegaard
"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a person and a dog." - - - Benjamin Disraeli
With liberties, from Robert Frost -
Two roads diverged in a yellow road,
And I was sorry that I could not travel both
And yet remain one traveler.
Long I stood and looked down one road as far as I could,
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then, I took the other, much the same,
Because it was grassy and needed wear,
Yet, both roads that morning equally lay in leaves,
No step trodden black.
I decided I’d keep the first road for another day.
Yet knowing full well how the road leads on its way,
I doubted if I would ever come back.
I shall be telling this story someday, with a sigh:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
And I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
I pray that we all discover
The road less traveled in our lives, and take it.Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, and if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my toys to break. So none of the other kids can use ‘em . . . Amen.

Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved. - - - William Jennings Bryan
The only time one is totally free is between trapezes.
There is a Divine Plan behind everything, and if we allow ourselves to be used by that unseen Force . . . many things can happen in a mysterious, miraculous way. If we interfere with that Plan by introducing our own plan, the egocentric plan, tension will be created. - - Satchidananda
