LOVE IS THE KEY

Creating prosperity should be a natural activity, an intrinsic outcome of all that we are and do. After all we should know the universal laws of attraction and manifestation and use them to create what we want. However, despite our knowledge of these laws, we often seem to be in a situation where things do not flow our way and we experience lack. So we try and understand what went wrong. We work at it and attempt to correct our mistakes. We ask ourselves if our visualization was clear, if we were persistent enough, if we had enough faith, if we pictured ourselves as having what we asked for, or if what we asked for was for our higher good and so on. We have also many individuals telling us about all the details of the laws of the universe in great details to help us out. We are even told not only about the Secret to prosperity, but about the Secret behind the Secret.

All this is good and well and it is true that these laws are good and work to create abundance, yet I cannot help but wonder at the complexity of it all. There are so many books and programs and lessons to learn that I get a little discouraged sometimes to ever know it all and get it perfect.

This is when I try and step back and look at things from a different perspective. While I am not an accomplished scholar, I know a little about the Bible and the Old and New Testaments. I know how the Old Testament contains the Ten Commandments and many other laws and precepts that should be obeyed to be a spiritual and successful person. I then look at the New Testament and notice Jesus’ two simple but powerful Commandments and I cannot help but draw a parallel.

I believe that when we try following the manifestation laws to attract abundance, we often are using the old ways. We are trying to follow the letter of the laws of the Universe to get what we want and it is not enough. But if we try to follow the Spirit of the Law, we may only need to consider the two laws of the New Testament. These are simply: “You shall love God with all your heart, mind, body and strength” and “You shall love yourself as you love your neighbor.” Now this looks pretty simple if not obvious to do, but why should we even consider following these two Commandments and hope to create the abundance we seek in our lives. Should we ignore the laws of attraction and manifestation and hope to create what we want just by loving God, ourselves, and our neighbor?

Well let us consider what the underlying assumptions behind those two commandments are. I am sure that you have also heard the saying to put “God first and all these things shall be added unto you.” This in essence explains why the First commandment to Love God is so critical to our abundance. How is that? Simply because of whom we are and what we are here to do and be. If we can remember to see ourselves as Children of God who are meant to be Co-Creators with him, we remember both our true identity and our purpose for being here. We give answers to the biggest questions in our lives. By remembering who we are, we acknowledge that the Divine within us is the Source of our prosperity, the Power by which we manifest it, and the Worth that makes us deserving of it.

As for the Second Commandment to Love yourself as your neighbor, it reminds us that to have access to that which we have and are, we must accept it in our minds and hearts first. We must love ourselves enough to know that all that we want that is good for us is really the Divine in us trying to create more and express more. And we must remember that all our brothers and sisters who want the same are as deserving of it as we are. If we are to access our own Heritage, we cannot try to separate them from theirs. They are as worthy as we are. The reason for this is that we are all One in Spirit which is our true nature. To try and separate another in our minds from their own good is to separate ourselves from our own good. In reality, all is connected and only in our minds can we separate ourselves from all we are and have.

So what has love got to do with it? Well in one word: everything. The nature of love is that it is the most magnetic and unifying force of the universe because it is the “feeling” aspect of Spirit. Certainly you have heard that whatever you put your attention towards, you become or draw to you. Well the assumption that is not always explicit in this approach is that you usually want to put your attention only on something you want because you love it and want it for yourself. It is Love that can draw everything good to us and remove blocks and barriers that our minds have erected. So if we truly love something, we cannot but draw it to ourselves.

Love is the most powerful magnetic emotion or feeling of the universe. So you can choose to follow with your mind all the details of the laws to create what you want or you can simply open your heart to what you want to draw it to yourself. Manifesting through The Law of Cause and Effect and the Law of Grace both work to get you what you want, but if you want to use the second to do so or if you want to reinforce the First with the Second, then the important thing is to remember that Love is truly the Key.

What do you think?

If you are interested in taking a free prosperity test and find out where you can improve your abundance, come check my site www.lifeandprosperitycoaching.com . If you are interested also in exchanging thoughts and ideas about prosperity and abundance, I would love to hear from you.

The Prosperity Assessment Test I have been preparing for my Masters Degree thesis is ready to be tried out. If you are interested in finding out where you are stuck in terms of prosperity and how much better you could do, you may want to try my 15 minutes test. This test is based on the assumption that we keep struggling after money because we think it is an end in itself instead of a means to an end. When we discover the needs we are really trying to fulfill with money and we start going directly after them, then true prosperity manifests itself.

I am offering it (free) to anyone who wants to try it. The only request I have is for those who take it to give me their feedback thru a short questionnaire included at the end of the test.  I need your feedback to complete my thesis and make the test the best it can be.

Send me a request at louistetu@videotron.ca if you are interested.

I have my first client. I am amazed I do not feel any pressure going into this, just excitement. I guess I know I can help her, so I will do my best, learn a lot in the process and have fun doing it. I just wanted to share that. For me it is a big step. I am finally going into the kind of career I have been wanting to get into for years but did not know how to approach. I always felt like I was looking in from the outside of the candy store but not being able to get in. No more.  

While I am starting as a coach, I am also finishing my M.A. in Transpersonal Studies. It has taken me 9 years to complete the 11 required courses (slow going when you are also working at the same time) and now I am finally working on the thesis, the last step before graduation. So I am very eager to complete it. My thesis is about creating prosperity in all areas of our lives. It is called: The seven levels of prosperity consciousness, an assessment tool for coaching. 

I have been reading books on spirituality, prosperity,  and creating our own reality for thirty years, but I have often felt blocked in creating more abundance easily. Many of us know the principles of creating our own reality and the law of attraction. The problem is always in the application of these principles to get the results we want. Not that I am not prosperous, but I still feel like I have limiting beliefs that seem to evade my every attempt at releasing them(meditation, positive affirmations, art therapy, abundance courses, finding our life path, etc. you know the drill). 

So that is why I decided to create my own prosperity assessment tool to really pinpoint where I am stuck. I do believe that this test I am preparing could be useful to others so I will offer it here on this site when it is ready. Well easy does it, one step at a time.

Here is one of my favorite affirmations from The Game of Life by Florence Scovel Shinn, which has opened doors for me over the years:

Divine Intelligence, reveal to me clearly the Divine Plan for my life. Let it take shape in definite concrete experiences leading me to perfect health, wealth, happiness and self-expression. 

Hi! This is my first blog. I am a new coach and this blog is part of my effort to put myself out there, connect with others and have fun doing it. I am not very internet savvy, but I am glad I am getting my feet wet. Looking at everyone`s else blog, it reminds me that there are so many people living their lives out there that I do not know and I have never met. I am a little surprised myself but I think I am going to enjoy connecting and sharing on this blog. Hope to meet many of you. Bye for now I have to go read a story to my 6 year old son and put him to bed.
