Principles
of Prosperity
by
Salem
(channeled through Diandra)
The
basic principle stated in this inspiring and liberating channeled
message is that, in order to manifest prosperity in our lives, first
we must recognize that, in our earthly experience, we created everything,
even poverty, from a state of abundance. So now, how can we create
consciously what we really want?
This
is Salem, and as always we come to you with the greatest of respect
for humanity. As we begin to approach what it is that humanity terms
as prosperity, we have a few basic things that we need to say to
you to lay some groundwork. First of all everyone has their own
definition of what being a prosperous individual means on this planet.
What
is Prosperity?
Let
us look at your belief system about prosperity; what it is, why
you desire it, how you feel it enriches and enhances your life.
Your belief system most especially in your culture, says you must
work very hard to have what you believe accumulates into the 'good
life,' or what you might call prosperity.
You
may put good health into that category, a good relationship into
that category, or you may not. Your belief of prosperity may be
driven by how many toys you have, are you experiencing joy in your
life, or by how much money is in the bank. It is your individual
belief system, do you see.
But
regardless of what that belief system may be, there is a core element,
and the core element says, "How can I best enjoy my journey
in this lifetime on this planet?" And if you define that you
are in a state of enjoyment, you will undoubtedly define that you
are also in a state of prosperity.
You
are always in prosperity. If you stop and reflect upon your universe,
if you look at the stars in the sky, the sand on the beach, the
leaves on trees, you will see that this is an abundantly rich planet.
There's always an abundance of new creative process taking place
and you are the creator.
So
you are continually creating in abundance. You always have prosperity.
Wherever you focus your attention, it will grow. Focus on lack and
it will grow. You will be a person prosperous in lack.
We
are creators
It
does not matter what you have in life. You are always looking for
something more. Now, why is it that you are always looking for something
more? Because you are a creator. And because you continually are
creating. That is what your existence is about. Your existence is
about creating.
Since
you're continually creating and since there is an unlimited supply
of raw material called energy that you create from your thought
process and your sound brings this energy into a vibrational rate
that creates something, tangible or intangible. It may be a feeling.
It may be something that is intangible or it can be tangible. You
are continually creating. Therefore prosperity is something that
is yours.
Your
belief system will most likely say, "Now if I am doing this,
then why is everything not as I desire it to be?" Well, number
one, you do have everything as you desire it to be. First you must
recognize that and secondly, you must rejoice in that.
You
tend to think if what is in your life at the present moment is enjoyable,
you created it. If you think it is not enjoyable, then the blame
is placed upon a group, society, something that happened to you,
an accident, bad luck, your parents, your friends, or something
else, because you surely would not have created THIS.
You must be willing to look at your belief system in a very pragmatic
way.
We
ask you to examine your life objectively rather then subjectively.
Detach from the emotion of what is in your life today.
There is an emotion attached to every creation.
Recognize
you brought past life belief systems into this lifetime. The things
you feel you create very easily is because they were easy to create
in a past lifetime. So if it's easy for you to have good health,
if it's easy for you to have a good relationship, money, a good
career, if education was easy for you, whatever seemed to come to
you easily, you probably laid some groundwork in a past life. Without
giving it a conscious thought you're willing to accept that, "Yes,
I created this."
If
you look at your childhood, at your earliest remembrance of creation,
you will find a clue to what you began to feel you could successfully
create that would be positive in your life. So look at your creations
as a child. Your belief systems in possibilities and limitation
were greatly strengthened during your childhood experiences. Even
though you are not consciously at every moment examining your belief
system, you have a belief system about your own creative ability
and your own creative power.
Prosperity
and Work
Work
is the key word that we want to talk about here for a moment. Does
your belief system say there must be some kind of, (and you define
the word work for yourself), work that I must do to
be prosperous.
First
of all, do you believe that to have money you must work? Second,
do you believe that to have a relationship you must work at it?
To have a healthy body you must work at it?
Somewhere
humanity's belief system, most especially in your culture, incorporates
the word 'work' with 'prosperity' and they have nothing to do with
each other. In fact work is extremely limiting. Work is something
that you feel you must plow through in order to get where you desire
to go. So much energy is put into the work of it that
you seldom actually achieve your goal.
Prosperity
and work are not synonymous. They do not go hand in hand. To
have and to enjoy prosperity is a natural flow of the soul and the
spirit. It will never be achieved by work.
Because
even if you reached every one of your goals that you set out to
attain, the money in the bank, the perfect relationship, the perfect
health, the perfect career, the house, the travel, the boat, whatever
it might be, this will not make you feel prosperous in your soul.
Somewhere you'll feel you missed a step. Because you put so much
energy into working to getting here and now it doesn't bring the
right rewards back to you.
Now,
are we saying quit your job tomorrow, that somewhere, you're going
to find the next million dollars on your door step? No. And we do
not want to leave that image because you see, you have a need and
a desire to be a productive individual on this planet. That is a
creative process. And if that creative process is coming through
your particular employment situation, this is good.
But
do not equate your employment, your career, and your business with
prosperity because they're not the same things and they'll never
achieve the prosperity that you are looking for. Equate them as
your creative expression on this planet.
Money
as an exchange of energy
You
see, money is just an exchange of energy. You get too hung up on
money, my friends. There are many other ways to have your good
than through money. But money is where you're secure because
money is the societal-wide accepted exchange commodity.
If
you have the money you are free to exchange it for whatever you
desire. You know you might have a much richer experience by having
an exchange where money never exchanges hands whatsoever.
Listen
and open yourself to the opportunities that the universe gives to
you through people, through experiences and through challenges that
have nothing to do with the exchange of money.
So
see your employment, your business, your career as your creative
process. This is how you are choosing to primarily use your energy
as a creative contribution to this planet. And we will say this
to you if you're unhappy in that creative process, first of all
most likely that energy will be counter productive and even if it
produces money prosperity, it will be counter productive in one
of the other areas in your life because you see it's not an energy
that is truly contributing to your total good.
How
do you want to express yourself creatively? Because when you find
that niche, when you get up in the morning with a smile on your
face, a song in your heart and you can't wait to greet the day,
to begin whatever your productive contribution is to this planet,
you have found how your soul truly chooses to express in this world.
It
will not matter how much money you do or do not have. It will not
be important. It will be important to you that you have the freedom
of that creative expression. Because you see, for you to be on this
planet the prime thing for you to do is to express your divinity.
Express the creator. Express the creative process.
To
enjoy prosperity in your life is to be in the flow with your soul
and your spirit, expressing all that you uniquely are. When you
are enjoying expressing you, the prosperity package is complete.
Prosperity
begins in our thoughts
We
are speaking to your belief systems. You must examine your belief
systems in order to have a prosperous life on this planet. Give
without expectation in your relationships. You can have all the
money you want, you can be very healthy, you can have a good career,
but if you feel you are not in prosperity in a relationship, it
will take away a big slice of the pie for you and you will not feel
prosperous on this planet.
Prosperity
is not about doing. It's about letting the soul connected to the
spirit have the power to bring about prosperity. Prosperity is creating
the relationship that has equal exchange but not an expectation.
The
new energies coming into your world support your re-awakening. Choose
to move into the wonder that you are so that you can enjoy everything
that you have created in this world. So you can enjoy this beautiful
planet. So that you can enjoy the animals and the human beings that
are here. So that you can enjoy your own creativity.
Your
creations and prosperity begin with your thinking processes. Your
limited understanding may focus upon all of your past pain, or the
times in the past you felt you failed. This focus can never bring
you the prosperity you desire.
Your
belief system then searches for a way to create differently. Your
mind says, "If I get the system and I do it just right, this
will be my results." But it can never happen that way. So again
you must examine your belief system. And so your soul says, "what
can I do to get the most attention here."
Wherever
your soul in agreement with your spirit and all your dimensional
selves feel that you will begin to allow yourself to see your own
beauty, your own reflection and flow with what you are that's where
it will be reflected.
If
you're a mental person, your belief systems are going to be very
attacked mentally. You will find yourself going back and forth,
back and forth, back and forth, until you realize what's happening
and make a choice.
If
you're a very emotional, expressive person, then you're probably
going to find your emotions are churning more; that you're high
one day and low the next day. Your soul is crying out, "Hey,
listen to me; go within; find out what it is all about." And
if it's a physical challenge then it's probably because you're a
rather active person and this will get your attention.
Examine
your fears
Examining
your belief system. That's the first thing you must do. We all have
our own belief system. And you may think, "I believe in all
of the lofty, spiritual, wonderful ideals that say I was born into
prosperity and meant to live in abundance." Well, are you living
it? That's the proof of the pudding.
And
if you're living the principles, that is wonderful. Help others
to do the same. But if you're not living in that beautiful golden
arena of your own ability to live in the prosperity of all the beauty
that this physical existence has to offer you, then examine your
belief system.
Examine
your fear. Reflect upon your limited thinking and your fears for
that is the sentinel that stops you. Your biggest, biggest watchdog
is your fears and your fears will always limit your possibilities.
You have to begin to feel and think in possibilities. Know everything
that is possible and the fact that you are creating prosperity all
the time. You can't help but create. Since there is an abundance
of raw material called energy, you create in abundance.
The
question is where is your attention, and what is your belief system.
If it's in struggle, if it's in limitation, if it's in feeling that
you have limited possibilities, that's the prosperity you create.
You
see there are many people who are very prosperous in their lack.
They know how to do it so well, that they no more than heal one
area of their lack, whatever it may be, than they create another,
or re-create the same. They have become very good at creating lack
in abundance and it's very easy for them to do.
Connect
with your Soul
Look
at your creations at this time to recognize them and take responsibility
for your own creations. You first must be willing to do that. You
are the creator of your prosperity. You are prosperous. You are
born into a world that supports prosperity. Connect with your
soul, recognize your beauty, and see your perfection, become acquainted
with the divine you. Your soul will gladly give to you all the things
that you desire.
The
mind doesn't understand letting go and that will be your largest
difficulty. The mind has no data for what we say, you must recognize
that. The mind only has the data of experience and information.
If there isn't enough background for the mind to accept a new principle,
it will discard the possibility.
So
until you have an experience, the mind has nothing to analyze. How
do you go beyond the mind that desires to understand? You must have
the faith to step forth into the experience. This then gives the
mind something to understand. But recognize you have a belief system.
At
times you may believe you're helpless. You believe, "I didn't
create this. The bottom line is I wouldn't have brought
this into my life. I just wouldn't have created this." You
did. And you did it for a reason.
Quit
resisting what you have created because what you are resisting is
the pain you perceive the creation to be in your life. When
you stop resisting your creation you will find the pain begins to
dissipate whether that's emotional, mental, physical, monetary,
relationships, or whatever it may be. Accept and love your creation
just as it is.
Wherever
you are at this moment of time, embrace it, love it, recognize it
that it has meaningful purpose to you and if that is nothing more
then to get your attention that you can have it different, that
still has purpose. And then go to your soul. And you say, "How
do I go to my soul?" You must learn to quiet the mind and the
way we see humanity do this the most is through meditation. Enjoy
your gift of unlimited possibilities. Accept your beauty and your
greatness. You are the creator of your world. See
your beauty and you will create beauty.
We
leave you with the greatest of love. We are always here to help
you. Just ask us because we cannot and would not interfere with
your free will. When you ask we are here to help you with your journey
and I am Salem.
