“Practicing the Law of Giving is very simple: if you want joy, give joy to others; if you want love, learn to give love; if you want attention and appreciation, learn to give attention and appreciation; if you want material affluence, help others to become materially affluent. In fact, the easiest way to get what you want is to help others get what they want. This principle works equally well for individuals, corporations, societies, and nations. If you want to be blessed with all the good things in life, learn to silently bless everyone with all of the good things in life.” — Deepak Choprah in The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

Inspired Action: Positively Sponsoring One Another

Are you ready to put this profound and powerful law into action?

We have the perfect way for you to begin!

As Deepak Chopra explains so eloquently, the best way to attract what we want towards us is to imagine a wave of all the best in life flowing towards everyone else.

The concept makes sense when you read about it — but today I want you to really *feel* the power of this experience.

Let’s make it as simple as possible…

Let us hold the intention that every member of this experiment receives undeniable proof.

We already have hundreds of messages on the blog from the last time I invited people to play in this way. Reviews these delightful gifts and let the words wash over you. Tap into the abundant energy circulating here. Feel yourself filled with the essences of Joy, Freedom and Love as you consider the possibilities illuminated by these gifts of love.

Then post a wish of your own to graciously offer to the entire community.

I suspect that, by early in the day, we’ll have a powerful vibrational wave of energy built up that we can each graciously receive.

Then you’ll understand the power of the law of giving and receiving in a whole new way!

For today, the thirtieth day of September, 2009, let Jean Shinoda Bolen’s words reverberate inside you…

“To make a dream come true, one must have a dream, believe in it, and work toward it. Often it is essential that another significant person believe that the dream is possible: that person is a vision carrier whose faith is often crucial.” Let us carry the highest visions for one another and for the entire planet.

In prosperity!

Elyse

Well, here we are on Day 15 – halfway through the 30 Day ‘Play Your Way to Prosperity Experiment’ so it seems like the perfect time to check in and see how we are doing.

How is the “experiment” going for you?

Are you collecting signs of the prosperity that has dropped on your doorstep?

Are you staying true to your commitment to “be the chooser” or have you lost touch with your initial intention?

Have you kept up with your daily prosperity habit – either keeping a gratitude journal, reading inspirational literature or playing the “Prosperity Game?”

I know that many of you have experienced internal shifts and have received miracles in delightful ways as I’ve read the posts on the Blog.

Here are a handful of the miracles that have been posted:

“A reporter showed up to interview me about my business and wrote an article that “jumped ahead” of the time it should have been printed. Saturday I learned it had been printed by the unusual number of guests we had, totally unexpected income for a holiday weekend that would have been very slow.” — Suzanne

“This week the business phone just keeps ringing, but more than that – I have the energy to answer it and take all these orders and speak to all these people, whereas before I felt a bit drained, being 39 weeks pregnant, and as though I didn’t have the energy for everything. Now I feel I can manage perfectly well, and money is flooding into the business as my effectiveness increases!” — Melody

“I’d just been reading through all these posts, and feeling inspired, I went to collect the mail. Among the letters, that I believed to be bills, I found two that between them gave me a 500 $ totally unexpected payment into me pension plan” — Doris

“Day 4, the day after my Challenge to the Universe in which I included a request for ‘an unexpected job offer and thrilling opportunities unfolding this month,’ I received a call to set up an interview to potentially head a school in my field. Unexpected, and totally thrilling!” — HJ

* Note: If you haven’t read your fellow experimenter’s posts, at the top of each post by me there is a link to read “comments” by other readers. In addition to dozens of miracle stories (posted under the topic “It Works”) there are hundreds of posts containing wonderful insights, epiphanies and ah-ha’s. *

I adore this book. It’s wise, funny, irreverent, and totally aligned with the focus of this month’s ‘Play Your Way to Prosperity’ experiment.

Experiment: The Volkswagen Jetta Principle

Whatever You Focus On Expands

‘Miracles are like pimples, because once your start looking for them you find more than you ever dreamed you’d see.’ — Lemony Snicket

Premise:

One of the great spiritual principles is that whatever we devote our minds to expands. I like to call it the Volkswagen Jetta Principle.

According to physicists, there’s a Zero Point Field where every possibility exists. For example, there’s the possibility that you could be a ballerina, another that you could be a United States Senator. Still yet another possibility is bag lady in Haight- Ashbury. When it comes to the Zero Point Field, the possibilities
are infinite.

This simple, 48 hour experiment will prove that what you see in life is none other than what you look for. It will also prove that it’s possible to find anything you look for. And, most important, it will prove that by changing what you look for, you can radically change what shows up in your world.

Method:

For the next 48 hours (that’s all, a pain-free, two day commitment. You are free to go back to your miserable life as soon as this experiment is over), you are going to actively look for certain things. And just like sixth graders who start out dissecting worms, not human bodies, you’re going to begin with something simple — green cars. Okay, if you insist, you can pick another color. Sunset beige for example.

For the first 24 hours of the experiment, you’re going to make the following conscious intention, ‘I hereby intend for the next day of my life to look for…okay you win…sunset beige vehicles.’ Again, you don’t have to do anything special. Just keep your eyes open. Just make the intention. and then simply notice if your conscious awareness has made a difference in the number of sunset beige cars you see.

On day two, during the following 24-hour period, you’re going to make the intention to see butterflies. I don’t care if it’s the middle of winter. Make the intention. Jeanette tried the experiment in January in the upper peninsula of Michigan and found butterflies on stationery, on a paper cup at her daughter’s friend’s birthday party. the point is don’t let your previous conditioning influence you in any way. Just open your mind and look, consciously actively look–as if you had misplaced your car keys.

To participate:

Download the lab_report_sheet1.pdf here and hold your focused intention on subject of ’sunset beige cars’ for 24-hours and ‘butterflies’ for the 2nd 24-hours.

Then return here to the Blog to report on your experiences!

So, for your weekend assignment:

1. Continue playing the ‘Prosperity Game’ (the internal shifts that come from playing really add up.) Go to:
http://www.choosingprosperity.com/game

2. Keep your eye out for evidence of prosperity flowing to you and share here on the Blog – under the topic of “It Works”

3. This weekend I would love to hear what this quotes stirs within all of you…

“God intends for us to live in prosperity: to enjoy rewarding relationships and fulfilling careers. God never intended that we drudge through the day and come home to collapse on the sofa, too tired to appreciate those around us. As co-creators, however, we have to make a decision for prosperity. If we don’t decide to prosper, we unconsciously choose limitation and scarcity. All the abundance in the world is available to us, once we open ourselves to God.” — Mary Manin Morrissey

~ What is the central message of the quote?
~ Do you resonate with it?
~ How does it FEEL to read these words?
~ What shifts will you need to make to be living in alignment
with this perspective?

Once you are clear about your own personal truth, share your perspective and to peruse what other’s have written.

To add your comments to the Blog:

Have a delicious weekend!

Love and light,
Elyse

~ Have you found yourself naturally drawn to the Prosperity Game?

~ Are you intrigued by claims that participants regularly experience shifts in their ‘real world’ finances that seem ‘coincidentally’ connected to playing the game?

~ Are you wanting to get a deeper understanding of the logic behind the game so that you can get the most out of your game experience?

If so, set aside some time to listen to the audio recording:

The Secret Power of the Prosperity Game

Listen here: http://playaudio-345.com/play.asp?m=190639&f=TZHCVA&ps=7&p=1

In this one-hour recording, Elyse Hope Killoran (founder of the ChoosingProsperity website) and Max Wellspring (Prosperity Guide and Master Energy Facilitator) reveal the powerful principles behind the Prosperity Game.

You’ll find this session especially valuable to you if:

~ You have wanted something for many years (a new car, a better job, a new relationship, financial security) that you have not successfully manifested.

~ You are caught up in stress, competition and pressure on the road to success but you secretly believe that there is a more fulfilling path through which you can achieve your heart’s desires.

~ You are finally ready to let go of old sabotaging beliefs that have been creating a roadblock on your path to prosperity and fulfillment.

~ You know on a deep level that financial prosperity (money) is not an end in itself, but a form of energy that will support you in achieving all your other vital life goals.

~ You understand that every individual and collective affliction on the planet could be overcome if a critical mass of people became attuned to personally manifesting his/her own prosperity and you desire to be a part of this type of revolutionary community.

You can begin to play the free online Prosperity Game by signing up today or you can wait until you have listened to the class. Either way, this experiential process will set you on the road to creating your own version of prosperity — from the inside-out!

For today, I wish you a felt sense of John Randolph Price’s words…

‘How rich can you be? As rich as you think you can be, or as wealthy as your contentment level. However most people are content in just ‘getting by’ — and if that is as far as your consciousness can expand, then so be it. You have made that choice. But know that you can achieve the total freedom of financial independence if you choose and will work to uplift your consciousness to accommodate that level of completeness.’

Best to you!

Elyse Hope Killoran
President, Prosperity from the Inside-Out

Today let’s get your juices flowing with another set of provocative questions:

* Who do you hold as your role models for truly prosperous living? *
* How do you feel when you imagine yourself walking a similar path to ’success’? *

Once again, there are no right or wrong answers here.

When you focus on other people as role models you become attuned to their energy.

This can serve you very well (if that person’s definition of prosperity is similar to yours) or not well at all (if that person’s approach activates contradictory beliefs within you.)

You may learn alot about yourself as you do this exercise…and share your thoughts here on the blog…

At the top right of each post by me there is a link to read ‘comments’ by other readers. Be sure to do so as the contributed wisdom is the best part of the blog.

I miscreated  this past weekend.

You see, I’ve been sending the daily experiment messages through a new broadcast portal and, although I thought that I had effectively queued messages to be sent Saturday and Sunday, there was one additional step that I needed to take so that the messages would actually go into the queue.

On Monday morning it became clear to me that a) the weekend messages were never sent and b) some people were not at all happy about this.

Although new blog posts appeared on Saturday and Sunday, scores of people who were anticipating daily experiment reminders found themselves,  instead, focusing on the lack of what they were hoping to receive.

So, my question to you today is:

How do you respond when the positive experiences that you are are looking forward to ‘appear’ to be missing?

Let’s take the simple metaphor of the missing reminders, shall we?

I’ve witnessed people respond in many different ways to challenges like missing experiment messages or techinical problems with the online Prosperity Game.

Some people take it in stride and simply focus on other ways to keep their energy moving.

Other people get frustrated and direct their irritation towards us, sending us emails criticizing us for offering an imperfect program.

Still others get discouraged and begin to question whether the missing information is a ’sign’ that the Universe is not supporting them in their quest for prosperity.

Now, there is no ‘correct’ response.

However, if you look at the ‘case of the missing reminders’ as sort of a Rorschach test (those are the psychological tests where they ask you to look at an ink-blot and describe what you see), how we interpret ‘evidence’ — or lack thereof — says a lot about the energy that we are radiating outward for the Universe to match.

This is what Abraham-Hicks says regarding how seriously we should take a ‘lack’ of ‘external’ evidence…

‘99.99% of every creation is complete vibrationally before you see physical evidence of it. That’s what we mean when we say, your life experience has caused you to ask and source has become
it.

And if you could just get a sense from us here today, of how true that vibrational creation is, you would never again doubt if you can have it.

You’d just start pointing yourself in the direction of it & keep going till you got there. And if you knew that, you’d go steadily & you’d get there fast.’ — Abraham-Hicks

While we want you to celebrate prosperity evidence as it does arrive (and share the enthusiasm with us in this blog under the topic “It Works”), the contrary (getting overly concerned about any apparent ‘lack’ of evidence) is not at all advised.

I recently spoke with a client who was growing weary of her visualization board. She had made a very detailed elaborate ‘work of art’ that accurately reflected her top desires and now, after about a year, every time she looked at the board she felt a degree of frustration and disgust about the things that she had asked for that had not yet arrived.

I suggested that she put the board away for a while because, due to her feelings of frustration and disappointment, that ‘creation’ board was serving more as a ‘mis-creation’ board.

Every time she looked at the board and focused on the apparent ‘lack’ of what she wanted, she was actually pushing her requests away.

Fortunately she now has a very clear ‘feeling’ sense relative to why some areas of her life have magically started to improve in the month since we began working together (because she has been feeling positive and optimistic in those areas) and why the things that she had been focusing upon on her visualization board have stubbornly remained out of sight.

The bottom line today:

Don’t allow any apparent ‘lack’ of prosperity evidence to thwart you or give you excuse to stop moving ahead.

Your job is to hold the vibration of ‘prosperity’ and ‘abundance’ even when/if the prosperity game checks are – temporarily – out of sight.

When you continue to radiate the vibrations of having what you want — while you stand in the gap before anything has yet manifested — you have earned the right to call yourself a true ‘Conscious Creator’.

Today’s question (and additional things to ponder):

How do you respond when the prosperity that you are expecting ‘appears’ to be missing?

What can you do to insure that you stay ‘connected’ to your prosperity – while you stand in the gap prior to manifestation?

What words of wisdom do you have for your fellow experimenters who are, at this moment, in the ‘gap’ and who would appreciate inspiration from anyone who has ‘been there’ and then reached the other side.

Add your comments by clicking the comments button at the top right of the post and scrolling down to the box that enables you to add your personal message.

For today, hold the following message in your consciousness…

‘99% of your creation is complete before you begin to see the evidence. In other words, you’ve lived life, you’ve launched rockets, source has received your rocket, law of attraction has acted on your rocket, actualization is beginning to form around your rocket of desire, but there’s no physical evidence yet. So if you’re counting on the physical evidence before you cheer up,
then you have a sort of gap, don’t you.

Physical friends will say, ‘Well, Abraham, if I could be over there I would feel so much better.’

And we say, ‘We know. But you’ve got to feel better before you can get over there.’

And they say, ‘Can’t I just be the one exception in all of the universe? Can’t you just make it better?

Can’t you change the circumstance so that I can feel better?’

And we say, ‘It’s an inside job. You’ve got to find a way to shift your vibration, and then whatever it is you’re asking for can flow easily into your experience.’

– Abraham-Hicks

Are these things that we are supposed to take on blind faith?

In the best of situations, my personal conviction that Universal Laws run the show and that we can harness these laws to become more magnetic to our good “rubs off” on my students and clients.

But, as we mentioned at the outset of this experiment, one’s ability to trust in all of this, when it becomes challenging to hold on faith alone, is impacted by the quality of one’s own personal life experience.

The reason we are approaching this next month as an “experiment” is that we want you to obtain objective proof that this works.

With objective proof as your anchor you’ll be far more likely to hold a steadfast course as you move ahead on your Deliberate Creator path.

As anyone who has heard me speak or who has read my story on my web site knows, the “experimental” approach is the key to my success.

In 1999, when I was first introduced to the Abraham Science of Deliberate Creation materials, I was strongly attracted — and equally resistant.

I remember feeling that Abraham’s message was so clear and so practical anyone could use it. While, at the same time, I felt I would be flaky, ‘woo-woo’ or ‘new-agey’ if I really bought into this stuff.

Having a background in Experimental Psychology from Franklin & Marshall College served me well. I decided that a rigorous experimental approach was in order.

In December of 1999 I chose three significant things that I wanted very much but did not currently have and, for the next 15 weeks, I followed the Abraham principles like a recipe.

By April, 2000, all three deliberate creations had come to pass. (For details: http://www.choosingprosperity.com/mystory3.htm)

But, when it comes right down to it, my stories are only useful if they serve as a catalyst – intriguing you enough to set you on a course to prove that these same laws are in effect in your own life.

Inspired Action for Day 8: Progressive Affirmation for Trust

Progressive Affirmation: The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

To internalize this truth, repeat each stage numerous times daily until you feel at one with (no resistance to) the statement.

1) It would be wonderful to believe that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
2) I am open to imagining that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
3) I am beginning to have faith that the law of attraction supports me in practical ways.
4) The law of attraction supports me in practical ways.

Share your comments about how much you want to ”trust” the law of attraction by clicking the link to the right at the top of the post that says “comments.” This will open the comment bar. Then you can scroll down to the bottom of the comments list and post your message in the comments box.

Welcome to the second week of the ‘Play Your Way to Prosperity Experiment’.

I hope that you are holding to your commitment (to yourself) to open the door to let greater prosperity fly in!

Last week we hit the ground running with:

1. A survey to focus our commitment
2. A renewed focus to play ‘The Prosperity Game’
3. A series of thought provoking-questions
4. And, on Friday, coaching (in written and audio form) to help you mold your personal definition of prosperity into one that will serve you best.

This week we’re going to be focusing upon the philosophical concept of ‘Being the Chooser.’

This is a concept that is at the core of this experiment – the notion that YOU are the central force that determines what manifests in your life.

Some people get very excited when they realize the astonishing significance of this truth. Others get overwhelmed. The question that we have for all experimenters today is…

Are you ready to be ‘the chooser’ in your life?

We kicked off this conversation in yesterday’s Blog posting by considering a quote from Abraham:

‘You do have to reach this place where you decide YOU’RE going to choose. And when you decide YOU’RE going to choose, what that means is YOU’RE going to start directing your thought. YOU are going to start setting energy in motion. You’re going to deliberately CHOOSE the sequence of thoughts until Law of Attraction can get hold of it and help you along and before you know it you are offering energy deliberately rather than by default.’ — Abraham-Hicks

…and we received several brilliant postings in response.

So, for today, I’d like you all to continue to ponder the notion of ‘being the chooser’ with a new quote:

‘I found every single successful person I’ve ever spoken to had a turning point and the turning point was where they made a clear specific unequivocal decision that they were not going to live like this anymore. That they were going to achieve success. And some people make that decision at 15 and some people make it at 50, and most people never make it at all.’ — Brian Tracy

What does this statement mean to you? We’d like to know.

And, with this idea of “Being the chooser” fresh in your mind, what are you choosing to create during the course of the 30-day experiment?

Consider sharing your wisdom and insights about ‘being the chooser’ right here on the Choosing Prosperity blog.  At the top right of each post by me there is a link to read ‘comments’ by other readers. Be sure to do so as the contributed wisdom is the best part of the Blog.

As always, harness your inner power to make today the very best it can be.

Prosperously yours,

Elyse Hope Killoran
