“Every thought vibrates, every thought radiates a signal, and every thought attracts a matching signal back. We call that process the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction says: That which is like unto itself is drawn. And so, you might see the powerful Law of Attraction as a sort of Universal Manager that sees to it that all thoughts that match one another line up.”

From Ask and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.” – Buddha

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” – Buddha

“Law of attraction says that all your thoughts, all images in your mind, and all the feelings connected to your thoughts will later manifest as your reality. In other words; everything you have in your life – now – has been attracted to you thru your mind.”

“Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” -Albert Einstein

“We are not onlookers peering into the unified field of separate, objective reality – we are the unified field. We can reach beyond the physical body and extend the influence of intelligence. Every thought you are thinking creates a wave in the unified field. It ripples through all the layers of intellect, mind, senses, and matter, spreading out in wider and wider circles. You are like a light radiating not photons but consciousness. As they radiate, your thoughts have an effect on everything. Your relationship to life is the same as that of one cell to your whole body. One cell can talk to your whole body. One cell can influence your whole body. You can talk to the whole of life – influence the whole of life. The whole of life is as alive as we are. The distinction between ‘in here’ and ‘out there’ is a false one – as if the heart disregarded the skin because it was not on the inside.” -Deepak Chopra

“You are a creator; you create with your every thought.You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to wanted or unwanted but you know by how it feels if what you are getting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting. (Where is your attention focused?)” -Abraham Hicks

As a service professional I found it interesting to discover that aside from necessities (home, car and monthly groceries) most of our lucid financial output goes towards other service industries. I definitely would not want it any other way since I had been disheartened by mass consumption for too many years. To actually get to be alive and personally witness the ‘over-consumption era’ slowly dwindling down is pure bliss for me.

I wonder why people are so afraid of the “current” economy? I was literally terrified of the “old” economy, the one we lived in in the year 2007, which is not that long ago.

The inevitable outcome of our mass consuming ways would surely be the utter completion of our natural resources, and if it had not been for this ‘economic transformation’ perhaps little else could have stopped the shopaholics in their tracks. In 2007, we were actually headed for disaster faster than we could have imagined. Observing the never-ending glorification of the lifestyles of the rich and famous and seeing so many poor souls aiming for that same ‘ideal’ felt like watching a train wreck in the making. I dreamed of the ability of being able to slow down time so awakened humans could actually stand a chance of being able to come up with some sort of a plan. I guess the Universe has a way of taking care of itself and a house of cards, built on ignorance and greed is sure to come tumbling down eventually.

It is not too far fetched to imagine that the international financial recession is the greatest blessing our future generations could have been given. It was critical that the mass-consumption ideology would hit a major roadblock and for us, ‘the eternal dreamers’ who are out to change the world, to be given a platform from which to come up with a plan for creating a fresher, more sustainable world order. Rome wasn’t built in a day and we have a long road ahead of us but the fact is that “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.

Happiness can not be found inside of a handbag, shoes or designer jeans… although I do admit that many of those man-created things of beauty do have their unique appeal:)… Still, who needs to have 10 pairs of jeans or designer bags, let alone 20 or, 40 or 100!? Does anyone get that?! I’d love for someone to explain that to me.

Contrary to what we all have been seeing on TV for years and years, happiness is not about getting and having stuff! You can NOT find it by acquiring more and more pointless and eventually useless junk! Yet, this is what the entire western world was lead to believe by large scale corporations and their ingenious marketers.

Capitalism in its old and traditional form is dead! It will never again be as it once was. Our future transactions will more likely be about investing in each other’s services than investing in meaningless, and inevitably deteriorating, materialistic things, and hence depleting our planet of its beauty and splendor. Now, isn’t that awesome?! Hallelujah anyone? I mean, who wants their life to be about materialism and consumption anyway? Isn’t there much more to it than that?! And, isn’t it time we all found out!?

Now, I must say, that a certain level of happiness can be found by using money as the positive and creative energy it can be. Immense happiness can be found by making a difference in the world, by supporting a good cause, by giving to others, strangers, family and friends, and giving to yourself when you take care of you, body, mind and spirit and do what you love doing. And, once again, for the record, taking care of you is NOT about buying you some more stuff!

How you use money affects the world we live in, and creates the world our children will inherit. Money is energy and POWER so set your priorities straight and get conscious with what you are actually creating each and every time you choose to make a transaction. You truly hold the power to shape and change the world.

Every transaction you make has an impact. What kind of an impact are you making? How are YOU using your money? What would you like to do with the creative power it holds? If every transaction you make helps shape the world you live in… what kind of a world are you creating?

YOU are, and always will be a POWERFUL CREATOR of YOUR REALITY!

Go and get creative with your money!!!
