True health requires all three parts of our body to be balanced, healthy and energized – our physical body, our mental body, and our spiritual/energy body.

We can’t delude ourselves into thinking that we’re really taking care of our health if all we’re doing is focusing on only one part of our body and ignoring the rest.

The Physical Body

We’re all familiar with our physical bodies. There’s no denying the fact that while we are here on earth we occupy these physical bodies of ours.

Taking care of our physical bodies can take many forms, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising or relaxing and resting. Billions of dollars every year are spent on finding ways to improve the health of our physical bodies.

With New Year’s Eve just around the corner, millions of people are going to be flocking to sign up at their local gym to meet their New Years resolutions for 2011. This is all great news, and I think it’s totally awesome that more and more people are starting to take their health and fitness seriously and at least making an attempt to make an improvement.

However, even a perfect diet coupled with a perfect fitness plan isn’t enough to truly keep us healthy as that only takes care of one part of our body.

The Mental Body

When people don’t take care of their physical bodies and then they have a heart attack or develop some kind of cancer, it’s easy for us to jump to the conclusion that they just didn’t take care of themselves.

But what about all the people out there who eat super healthy, exercise every day and then die of the exact same diseases? You know the ones that look like they could pose for a magazine cover one day and are going in for chemo therapy the next because they developed cancer.

What do we usually blame for that situation? Genes? It must be hereditary, right?

Wrong. In case you haven’t heard the latest research, people like Bruce Lipton have shown that there is no such thing as a “cancer” gene or a “heart attack” gene that turns itself on at a certain age. Genes don’t possess the power to turn themselves on or off. They only way they can be triggered is due to the perceptions of our environment at the cellular level.

Meaning, our entire body is a thinking body. Our whole body is a “mental body” with every cell in our body being an intelligent “thinking” cell.

Our perceptions are controlled by our beliefs. Our perceptions control our genes. Therefore, our beliefs control our genes. That is what today’s science is showing us.

What does that mean?

That means that it is no longer good enough to just take care of your physical body. You’ve got to take care of the “mental” health of your body as well.

If you’re chronically depressed, you’re not healthy, regardless how good your physical body looks or the diet you’re on.

If you’re chronically frustrated, you’re not healthy.

If you’re chronically stressed, you’re not healthy.

If 90% of the thoughts running through your “mental body” are negative, you’re not healthy.

We must take our “mental body” health seriously if we expect to live a healthy life.

Eating the perfect diet, and exercising daily is great, but if you’re feeding your mind a daily dose of “mental poison” in the form of watching the news, or listening to the negative blabbing of your “friend” who’s been depressed since they were born and calls you daily to fill you in on the intricate details of how their miserable day has been going – I’m sorry, but you’re not going to stay healthy for long.

We must take care of our “mental body” just as we take care of our physical bodies. Reading an inspiring, energizing book is like eating a healthy, energizing meal. Watching the (bad) news is like putting a little bit of rat poison in your food and justifying it by saying “but it’s just a little bit of poison!”

The Spiritual / Energy Body

The Spiritual / Energy Body is another part of our body what most of us ignore.

The fact is that if your spirit left your body right now, your heart would stop beating and that would be the end of it – regardless how good your diet is or the fact that you’ve got a six-pack. Positive thinking wouldn’t be much help either.

I have to admit that up until a few years ago I was pretty ignorant about the spiritual / energy body myself. I mean I always knew it existed, but I never knew much about it.

My level of awareness of this more “subtle” and often ignored part of our body has been growing in the last year or so after getting my Reiki training, my training and especially in the last few weeks since doing some energy healing here.

So far I’ve had three really eye-opening healings with an energy healer named and I’ve also experimented with some other forms of energy healing work with my friend while I’ve been out here.

I know nothing I can write on my Blog will ever convince a skeptic that this stuff is real, but I will say this – this stuff is real.

Expanding Your Paradigm

No-body can call themselves healthy if they aren’t maintaining the health of all three of their bodies – their physical body, their mental body and their spiritual/energy body.

I see people who are taking care of their diet and fitness program but who are mentally miserable and who are too closed minded to even try out energy healing. That’s not living in health, that’s living in ignorance.

On the other hand I also see some people who are energy healer junkies, who don’t take care of their physical or mental bodies. You can’t treat your physical and mental bodies like crap, feeding them daily doses of poison and then expecting your Reiki healer to “fix” you. That’s not living in health either.

You also can’t live just for the “mental body” and ignore the physical and spiritual/energy bodies. That’s not healthy either.

We must expand our paradigm of health to include all three bodies. It’s the only way to truly be healthy.

I’m not saying that I’m doing that right now. I’m far from perfect myself. But I am working on all three now because I know that all three have to be working in harmony to experience and maintain the state we call “health”.

There is no other way.

We all have our favorite “body” we prefer to expand energy towards. Mine used to be my “mental body”. For 15 years now I’ve been conditioning my mental body to be a lean, mean, positive thinking machine. I’ve had periods of time when I’ve read more books in a few weeks than most people do in a lifetime. I’ve got a library of hundreds and hundreds of books, DVD’s, seminars, audio programs etc.

If there was a body-building competition for the “mental body” I’d be putting on a pair of speedo’s and lubing it up with some tanning oil right now.

I’m not talking about knowledge or book smarts here. What I’m saying is that my “mental body” is pretty fit because I’ve continued to challange it and develop it’s strength for over 15 years now, whereas most people stop learning after leaving school.

My spiritual / energy body is fairly strong as well, but as I am learning right now there is so much more room for growth in this area for me.

For example, in my last few healings I’ve had healing in the area between my heart and throat chakra and I couldn’t believe how it affected my lungs and my ability to breathe. I never thought I had any problems breathing, but after my last healing I felt like my lung capacity tripled. After the healing it felt as if all my life I’ve been breathing with just one third of my lungs and wasn’t even aware of it.

If your energy body isn’t operating at full capacity, there is no way your physical body can. The scary thing is that there is no way to know what your full potential is unless you heal the energy body and see what changes.

A couple weeks back I stated that my highest value is Health (Diet, Fitness, Environment). I’m amending that now.

My new highest value is now Health (Energy, Diet/Fitness, Environment).

I’m adding in the word “Energy” into my definition of Health as a Value of mine because I want to focus on my “Spiritual / Energy Body” as well as my “Physical Body”. Out of the three bodies, I would definitely say that my “Physical Body” is the unhealthiest, so I will be working on that one a lot, but after what I experienced during my energy healings I also want to focus on my energy body as well because without it being in balance / health I know there is no way for the physical body to stay healthy anyway.

I’m not talking about them feeling as good as they feel when I don’t have the flu. I’m talking about them feeling way better even with the remnants of this flu still hanging around than they have ever felt in my life even when I’m not sick.

I can’t even imagine how great they’re going to feel when my physical body fully kicks this flu.

For this year I’m not setting any specific goals.

Instead I’m going to focus on living my life according to my new values, but there is one New Year’s resolution I want to set for myself.

It’s not a specific goal or target for any one area of my life, but rather a way of being.

What I want to foster is the state of being open to new possibilities.

What does that mean?

Well, essentially it’s about being open to new possibilities for how reality works.

Think about how a child sees the world. They are curious and always open to new possibilities, not set in their ways of thinking. Children don’t discount the “impossible”.

“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ~Lewis Carroll

Let me give you a few examples of what I mean.

Ask yourself these questions:

Is it possible to make a million dollars in one day as an Internet Marketer?

Is it possible that there is a single cure for all disease in the world, including the so called “incurable” ones like AIDS or Cancer?

Is it possible for a person to become invisible through meditation?

Is it possible for us to connect to parallel universes?

Is it possible to make a $100k / month as an affiliate marketer with a simple one-page website?

Is it possible to make $500k / month as a Blogger?

Is it possible to build a muscular body with just 10 minutes of exercise per day?

Is it possible to heal a broken limb spontaneously?

There are just some examples of what I mean. I’m not saying any of these are possible or impossible. I’m just using them as examples of the type of stuff I’d like to re-explore in my life.

For example, if I ask myself “Is it possible for us to connect to parallel universes?” and let’s just say that my logical mind says “No, it’s not possible.” then I want to explore that in more depth and ask myself “How do I know that? When did I decide this? What proof do I have that it is impossible?”

Or when I think about the possibility of making $500k/month as a Blogger, I want to explore the possibilities of that in more depth.

There really is no single specific direction I want to go with this. I want to simply just keep a much more open mind this year to new possibilities.

One of the reasons I’m doing this is because in the last few years especially my mind has really been opened and stretched as far as what I believe to be possible, but I think there is a lot of room for improvement here.

Meaning, I’m still mostly very skeptical about “impossible things” and it takes a lot of convincing and personal experimentation for me to be convinced that something is real.

For example when I first heard about muscle testing, I honestly thought it was total BS. I found it insulting to my intelligence that it could work. When I first read “Power vs Force” I thought it was a ridiculous concept so I tossed the book aside and labeled it as “quackery” in my mind.

Then one day I went to see a Naturopath who used muscle testing as a way of determining food allergies. I didn’t know he did this when I set the appointment. In fact, I didn’t know he was going to do muscle testing until I was sitting in his room and he just started doing it.

What happened next blew my mind. He told me to hold my arm up and hold it strong as he pushed down on my arm while testing different types of foods for allergies. My mind was determined to not fall for this “quackery”. I held my arm strong, determined he would not be able to push it down.

Then, after a few “strong” responses my arm went “weak” during one test. This totally blew my mind. It’s as if someone else was in control of my body. I felt a “shift” in my arm muscles and my arm went weak.

Previous to this moment, my mind justified muscle testing as simply the practitioner pushing down on the arm harder when trying to get a “weak” response. Once I actually experienced it, I knew that wasn’t the case.

That was my first experience with muscle testing being something that actually works. During my drive home from the naturopath that day my mind was totally blown.

Today, I totally accept muscle testing as something that works and I use it almost on a daily basis when I do my balances.

What if I have muscle testing a chance right away instead of labeling it as “quackery” for years and years until I “accidentally” ran into it in that naturopath’s office one day?

What if I accepted energy healing earlier in my life?

What if I accepted Law of Attraction earlier in my life?

What if I accepted psychic abilities earlier in my life?

This is my New Year’s Resolution for 2011 – to be open to and test out a lot more things that my mind might typically prematurely label as “impossible”.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to abandon reason and just accept every crazy claim out there as true, but it just means I’m going to be more open minded to give things a chance before dismissing them and trust my intuition to guide me along the way.

After you read 100 or so personal development books, you start to see certain patterns. After you read 1,000+ personal development books the patterns are completely obvious. You’d have to be blind not to see them.

One of those patterns that I realized somewhere along the way in reading through over a thousand personal development books is that there is a construct within our minds which is responsible for controlling and shaping every area of our lives.

We all want to fight for our freedoms and if our governments tried to take away even 1% of the freedoms we already have, there would be huge protests in the streets over it.

At the same time though, this mental construct we are all born with in our minds controls every detail of our lives and most of us aren’t even aware of it’s existence.

The mental construct I’m referring to is BELIEFS.

What Are Beliefs?

In elementary schools I remember learning about the seven wonders of the world.

What I don’t remember seeing on that list of “wonders” is human beings, animals, plants and any other forms of life. All the wonders in the world put together pale in comparison to the wonder of a single human body and the human brain/mind.

I think the list of wonders needs to be amended and the first three wonders on the list should be (1) Life, (2) Human Body, (3) Human Mind.

The fourth wonder on that list should be (4) Beliefs.

Beliefs control everything we see in our lives, yet almost all of us live our lives completely unaware of their existence.

We may hear about them from time to time in some book we read or some personal development guru talking about them, but for most of us they are just one of those things that we ignore.

This, ironically enough, is due to the fact that we have a belief that our beliefs are not something that’s important for us to take a look at. 🙂

Let me share something with you that might shine a little bit of a light on that limiting belief.

If there is just one thing you learn about and master in personal development in your entire life that would have a huge impact on EVERYTHING you experience – it would be Beliefs.

So what are beliefs exactly?
Beliefs Are Thought Constructs

Beliefs are nothing more than thoughts that we keep thinking to ourselves until they evolve from “concepts” to “facts” in our minds.

For example, let’s take a belief like this:

“I am a professional blogger.”

The first time I thought that exact thought to myself, it was simply a concept – neither true, nor false.

As soon as I thought about the concept though, my mind began to classify that thought as either “true” or “false”.

Interestingly enough, in order to determine the validity of that statement, my mind had to access other beliefs I already had in order to determine whether that statement is true or not.

Meaning, it had to first determine “What is a professional blogger?”, and then it had to compare the criteria for the definition of what a professional blogger is to who my beliefs believe I am to determine a “truth scale” for that statement.

In this way, every belief we have is actually based on other beliefs we have previously constructed. Nothing is actually ever based on “facts”, everything is based on beliefs.

We label our most closely held beliefs as “facts” but really they are just beliefs. They are all just “made up”. Every day, millions of mental constructs some of us label as “facts” are proven to be false.

Even the mental concept of “facts” is a made up concept. The “fact” that facts exist is just a belief. LOL. 🙂

The first step to really grasp the power behind beliefs and how they shape our lives is to stop believing them to be facts. Beliefs are just beliefs – they are made up.

When people first hear this, it sometimes makes them angry. How dare someone say that there is no such thing as “facts”?

I’m not saying that there’s no such thing as a belief that we hold that facts exist. I know that belief exists. Our legal system is based on it, amongst many other things. However, in the end it’s still just a belief.

The simple truth is that without our belief in facts, facts don’t exist in and of themselves. We have to believe in them first, in order for them to exist.

All they are is just mental constructs.

I’ll say it again. Beliefs are nothing more than thoughts – mental constructs – which we keep thinking to ourselves until we gather enough “evidence” (through our belief in other beliefs) to establish them as “facts” in our minds.

Beliefs Are Self Reinforcing Filters

What’s really interesting about Beliefs is that once they are established, they act as self reinforcing filters to further strengthen them to seem like “facts” in our lives.

What does this mean?

Well, in order to understand what this means we must first realize that one of the most important functions of our human brain is to act as a filter. If we were to make a computer program that mimicked the functions of our human brain, 99.9999% of the code within that program would be code design to do just one thing – FILTER information.

See, most of us are under the illusion that our brains are conscious decision making devices. Our brains do make decisions, but 99.99999% of the decisions we make are through the process of subconscious filtering.

Our conscious brain can only process 7-10 bits of information per second. Whereas our subconscious brain is said to be able to process up to 40 million bits of information per second.

What does that mean?

Well, what that means is that our conscious mind – the one you are reading this with right now is only responsible for processing about 0.00000025% of the decisions that you make every single day.

Most of us live under the illusion that it is our conscious mind that is in control, because that is the part of our mind that we are aware of, and even at 10bits of information per second that still gives us the ability to make about 500,000 conscious decisions every day during our waking hours, but the truth is that there is about 2-4 trillion subconscious decisions that our subconscious mind makes every day that we are not even aware of.

Do you remember making 2 trillion decision yesterday? Do you remember even making 10 decisions yesterday? How about 1? 🙂

If we were to even attempt to process that bandwidth of information with our conscious mind, our brains would melt and we’d pass out in less than a second.

Therefore, what the brain does is that it constantly filters out any information that is not important according to our beliefs.

The brain essentially only relays the absolute most important information to your conscious mind for it to make a decision on. Everything single other decision is made by the subconscious mind.

So what do I mean by the fact that beliefs are self-reinforcing filters?

Well, how this works is that as soon as we form a belief about something, our subconscious mind filters out (deletes) any information which contradicts that which we already believe.

Meaning, when a new piece of information arrives through our senses, if that information does NOT align with that which we already believe – we simply filter it out. We delete it from our perceptions.

The reason we do this is because our mind does not have the ability to re-evaluate our existing beliefs every time we perceive something that does not align with our beliefs. As a survival mechanism we DELETE that which does not align with what we already believe to be true.

I cannot stress enough the profound nature of this realization.

What this means is that through your beliefs your mind creates this little “fantasy” world you live in, which you believe to exist and be “true”, and anything that you perceive through your senses which SUPPORTS that illusion/fantasy is accepted into your conscious and subconscious mind, and anything that CHALLENGES that illusion/fantasy is simply DELETED!

What’s more is that we all totally believe that OUR version of “reality” is the right one, because our own beliefs simply filter out that which doesn’t align with that which we already believe.
How Beliefs Control and Shape Our Lives

Beliefs control our lives by acting as “gatekeepers” to new perceptions.

For example, imagine for a second that you believe this statement:

“The economy is bad right now and it is difficult to make money.”

That is a belief. If you believe that belief, your mind will essentially filter out everything that doesn’t align with that statement.

So for example, let’s say that you are having a conversation with a friend at your house with the TV turned on in the background. On the TV, a news cast comes on and says that the economy is showing signs of a recovery.

Let’s walk through what happens.

Your ears hear the sound waves from that TV because you are within hearing distance. The ears transfer the audio signals to your brain which translates the meaning of the words into a concept. That concept is “Economy is recovering.”

Your mind then takes that concept and has to decide “Is this important information for the conscious mind to hear?”

The way it does that is to first compare it to your pre-existing beliefs. Now, lets say that you have a belief that says “The economy is bad right now and it is difficult to make money.”

Well, those two beliefs clash. So what your mind can do at this point is one of two things…. (1) Point out the fact that it has perceived new information that goes against one of your existing beliefs, or (2) Just filter out/delete the information and ignore it.

What the mind does in 99.999% of situations is #2. It deletes that which doesn’t align with our existing beliefs.

So how does this affect our lives?

Well, it affects our lives because we never really see the world and our environment as it really is. We see that which we want to see. We see that which aligns with our beliefs. What’s worse is that we keep reinforcing that which we believe to be true, and as we get older the “stubbornness” of our beliefs becomes stronger and stronger.

That is why two people in the exact same situation will perceive totally different things. One person will see opportunity in the same situation as someone else sees disaster. They are both right. They are both just seeing/perceiving that which aligns with their beliefs.

Think about it this way. Imagine there are two twin brothers named Bob and Bill.

Bob believes the following:

“The world is a friendly place.”
“Opportunities to make money are everywhere.”
“I deserve abundance in my life.”
“I am in charge of my own life.”
“My decisions shape my destiny.”

Bill believes the following:

“The world is a chaotic, random place. You never know what will happen next.”
“The world just keeps getting worse and worse.”
“I don’t deserve any of the stuff I have in my life. Someone will soon take it all away.”
“I’m totally out of control.”
“Nothing I do will ever change anything.”

Based on these beliefs, can you see how the two brothers will live TOTALLY different lives? I would be willing to bet that a guy like Bob with those beliefs could start with nothing and live a successful life because he would embrace all the opportunities that life showers us all with every day.

And a guy like Bill could be given every opportunity, break and leg-up in life and still end up living a miserable life.

The fact is that the two of them could have the same DNA, the same levels of intellect, talent, ability, etc. and could have been raised by the exact same parents in the same home, but with beliefs that are that different they will live totally different lives.

Speaking of DNA…

Beliefs and Biology

In his book “The Biology of Belief”, Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., explains how our beliefs actually and literally control the biology of our bodies including our DNA.

I know it may sound like science fiction to those who haven’t heard about this science yet, but our beliefs can and do affect the very fabric of our body. Our beliefs actually have the ability to change our DNA.

Bruce Lipton teaches that it is not our genetic predisposition to certain diseases that determines whether or not we will manifest them in our bodies, but actually our beliefs that control this determination.

Meaning, there is no such thing as a “Cancer Gene” that controls whether or not we develop Cancer. There is no “Baldness Gene” that controls whether or not we go bald. Genes themselves have no control to turn themselves on/off. They are turned on/off based on our beliefs.

Think of genes like a light switch. We have mistakenly assumed that light switches turn on the lights. Light switches don’t turn on/off the lights. The person flicking the light switch turns on/off the lights.

That is a huge distinction. Keep in mind, however, that there are billions if not trillions of dollars being made out there right now by companies that try to lock us into the limiting belief that we have no control over those light switches. It is in their best interest to keep us “in the dark”, thinking that our genes control our health, and also the limiting belief that our DNA is something that is static that we are born with and which never changes throughout our lives.

Neither of those limiting beliefs are true. “The Biology of Belief” explains in detail.

The Awareness Trap

The biggest challenge with the way that our belief system works is that it is self-reinforcing. If our mind worked in such a way where anything that challenged our beliefs was brought to the surface for “re-evaluation”, then slowly over time our beliefs would balance themselves out. They would represent a fairly accurate model of reality.

However, due to the self-reinforcing nature of our beliefs, we not only form false/limiting beliefs, but we are also completely unaware of their existence! Even if we become aware of them, the next challenge we run into is that we are so invested in our beliefs due to the millions of decisions that we already made according to those beliefs, that we refuse to look at any kind of “new information” that might challenge those beliefs.

The only way to avoid this trap, is to address it consciously. Our subconscious mind won’t just automatically fix our limiting beliefs by itself. We must consciously decide to do that first, and only then will we be able to change our beliefs.

The only other way in which our beliefs can be affected (outside of our own conscious choice to change them) is when we come in contact with other people who don’t have the same beliefs that we do. When we interact with other human beings, their minds don’t function within the same limiting beliefs that we do so their perceptions are different.

This is why getting around successful people is so important.

If you want to become a professional Blogger, become friends with or hire a professional Blogger mentor. They will instantly be able to see things that you don’t see yourself.

If you want to improve your fitness levels, get around people who are into fitness or hire a fitness mentor. Their beliefs will perceive opportunities for you and challenge the decisions you’re currently making unconsciously without even being aware of it.

If you want to be wealthy, get around wealthy people.

Another Alternative

Besides getting around people who already have a set of beliefs which allow them to accomplish the things that you would like to accomplish in life, there is one other way to get rid of your limiting beliefs.

For my regular Blog readers, I’m sure you’ve heard me mention this before. The only belief clearing/balancing system that I know which accurately identifies the exact limiting beliefs that are holding you back from achieving whatever it is that you want to achieve/accomplish/be in life, and also helps you to balance out those beliefs quickly and effectively.

When you get around people who are already successful in the area of your life which you want to be successful in, just by hanging around with them they will point out your limiting beliefs / mis-perceptions. For example, often times when I get around people who have a lack-mentality around money, I can instantly spot the limiting beliefs they believe in which they aren’t even aware of. I can do this because I used to have the exact same limiting beliefs when I almost went bankrupt.

Those limiting beliefs stand out to me like a sore thumb. I can instantly tell what people believe to be true, and when I challenge those beliefs it’s really interesting to see how people react. In almost all cases they start of by defending their beliefs, and then after a while they realize that they don’t even consciously believe in those beliefs – so they wonder why they believed them unconsciously in the first place.

This is an awesome way to discover and eliminate limiting beliefs, but it is also a very slow and “manual” way of accomplishing this. What if you can’t get around people who are doing what you want to do? Or what if you’re trying to accomplish something that many people haven’t done before?

That is where I think shines bright. It allows you to identify the exact limiting beliefs that are holding you back, and then to balance them out. A process that may have previously taken months or years or even decades to accomplish, can now be done with PSYCH-K in a matter of minutes.

Of course just by studying beliefs, becoming aware of them, asking yourself the right questions, and getting around people with more empowered beliefs can be a huge positive factor in your life. I’m not saying that this is the only way to affect beliefs. I had a lot of success re-wiring my personal beliefs for 15 years prior to discovering them, so I know it can be done. I’m just saying that this is a much faster way to go. I wish I heard about it 15 years ago. 🙂

The bottom line is this.

Your limiting beliefs are not going to fix themselves. By default they will simply just “harden” themselves and become a stronger ( and more limiting ) force in your life.

To change your limiting beliefs you must do so consciously. You have to decide to identify and change those limiting beliefs that are holding you back.

If you don’t, you’ll always be held back by them because the subconscious mind is programmed to “strengthen” our beliefs ( limiting or not ) and not to “determine the legitimacy” of them.

Only our conscious mind can decide to question the legitimacy of our beliefs.

Nobody else will do this for you.

By whatever method, you must decided to change your limiting beliefs.

Or not.

It’s your decision.

For years I’ve heard personal development gurus say that the world we live in is truly abundant, and that all we need to do in order to live an abundant life is to just accept that abundance as it is ours for the taking.

Even though I know their heart is in the right place, I don’t believe these personal development gurus are right.

The truth is that this “physical reality” world we live in can never truly be abundant because it is only a limited reflection of our true source of abundance.

Trying to find abundance in “physical reality” only leads to disappointment, anger, frustration, unhappiness and depression.

Seeking Abundance in a World of Lack

There are many different ways in which we seek abundance in this world.

For example, we may seek abundance financially by trying to accumulate a certain amount of money, such as for example a million dollars or a hundred million dollars or more.

In reality though, no amount of money will ever make us feel totally abundant. Even if we make a billion dollars, we can always spend it or it can be taken away from us in some way. There is never any amount of money you could ever make that would make you feel abundant forever.

Many people think that if they could just make a little bit more money than they are making right now, they would feel abundant. Meaning, if they are making $4,000/month they think that if they could just make $5,000/month or $10,000/month they would feel totally abundant.

I can tell you from personal experience, that is not true.

When we make $5,000/month, we fantasize about making $10,000/month and how that would make us feel totally abundant.

Once we make $10,000/month though, we realize that it is not enough. We realize that what we were really seeking was a better lifestyle so we improve our lifestyle and our expenses go up along with that. All of a sudden, $10,000/month doesn’t seem like a lot of money at all, so now we dream of $20,000/month.

The truth is that no matter how much money we make, we can never really feel that deep feeling of total abundance because there is always something else out there that is beyond our means no matter how much money we make.

The reason for this is that we are looking for abundance in the wrong place. You can never have enough money to buy everything. There is always something out there that you won’t be able to afford, or simply won’t be for sale, and the more money you make the more you will realize this.

Let’s use another example – health.

There is no such thing as having an abundance of health in this physical world we live in. It doesn’t matter how healthy you eat, how fit you are, how much you pamper your body, ultimately one day your body will die.

You can spend your entire life trying to prevent that inevitable fact, but all it will lead to is feelings of disappointment, anger, frustration, unhappiness and depression.

The truth is that no amount of financial resources will ever make you feel truly abundant.

Also, no matter how much energy you devote to keeping your body healthy, you will never feel truly abundant health wise either because deep down we all know that in this physical reality our bodies don’t last forever.
How to Find Abundance

The only real way to truly live a life feeling connected to abundance is to stop trying to seek it in the physical world.

No amount of money will ever make you feel truly abundant.

No amount of health will ever make you feel truly abundant.

No amount of love from someone else will ever make you feel truly abundant.

No amount of attention from others will ever make you feel truly abundant.

No amount of anything in this physical reality we live in will ever make us feel truly abundant.

The only true way to connect to true abundance is to stop seeking it from a non-abundant source.

The physical reality world we live in is not truly abundant. It is just a shadow, limited reflection of true abundance.

That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news though…

We can connect to true abundance if we seek it from the right source, and the only true source of unlimited abundance is Source / God / Universe or whatever name you wish to call it. I’ll call it “Source” in this article, but you can substitute whatever name you wish based on your spiritual beliefs.

By connecting to Source we connect to total abundance.

Source energy is unlimited. We can’t drain it dry. We can’t spend all of it, and it will never die.

Source is infinity.

No matter how much you take away from infinity, it is still infinity. Well, that’s not entirely true. The only thing you could ever take away from infinity to make it less than infinity, is infinity itself.

Luckily, our conscious awareness of who we are, meaning the part of us that seeks to feel abundant is finite. As such, no matter how much that part of ourselves could ever seek to “take away” from the infinite supply of Source, there would still be an infinite supply left over.

That is the only true way for us to feel totally abundant – by seeking it from an infinitely abundant source. We won’t find that in physical reality.
Why We Don’t Need Infinite Abundance as Humans

As human beings, we are finite beings. To find fulfillment or happiness, finite beings don’t need an infinite supply of abundance.

That is just an illusion.

For example, let’s take something like Vitamin C. Our bodies need Vitamin C to function properly and to be healthy.

Let’s just say that you could magically manifest an infinitely abundant supply of Vitamin C. Would that really be useful?

Could you ever eat 100 lbs of Vitamin C? Or could you ever eat 1,000 lbs of Vitamin C?

No, that would be ridiculous right?

The reality is that as finite human beings there is a finite limit as to how much we really “need” in our lives in order to feel fully fulfilled / happy.

Our body could be perfectly happy with just 0.5 – 5 grams of Vitamin C per day. That really isn’t that much in the grand scheme of things.

There is only so much food that our bodies need to fulfill our needs.

There is only so much money that we need in order to fulfill our needs.

When we don’t have food, we crave it and we think that we could eat forever, but once we have access to food we realize that it doesn’t really take that much to reach the point of feeling fulfilled/satiated.

Money is no different. When we don’t have any money we crave total financial abundance, and we dream of winning 50 million dollars in a lottery. But in reality, there is probably a much smaller amount of money we would totally feel fulfilled/satiated with.

However, that is only true if we don’t mistakenly try to seek that feeling of “connection to true abundance” from food or money.

I remember when I was younger I always dreamed of all the things I would buy once I made some good money. Then I started to make some pretty good money and I bought myself some of the toys I always dreamed of.

Then, one day I remember walking into a Future Shop / BestBuy electronics store with money in my bank account that I could spend on whatever I wanted and I walked around for about an hour and walked out with nothing.

I already had a TV I liked, why bother buying another? I already had a good home theater sound system, did I need another? I already had an XBox and a dozen games I hadn’t even played at home, did I need to buy more?

I remember walking out of that store feeling a bit depressed because there was nothing I could buy from that store that would have made me feel any more abundant than when I walked in. That’s because at that time I was still seeking that feeling of abundance from the toys / things I owned.
It’s OK to Live a Rich Life

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that we should have no desires / wants.

All I’m saying is that no matter how big they may be, our true human desires / wants are finite. There is a limit to them. That’s the good news.

If your body wants Vitamin C – give it Vitamin C! I’m not saying to deprive yourself.

If you want to make and spend millions of dollars, go for it!

If you want to eat healthy and exercise and keep your body in tip-top shape, go for it!

Live life to it’s fullest.

BUT, realize that life here in this physical reality will never fully “make” you feel truly abundant, as that is not the purpose of it.

Feeling abundant comes from your connection to Source – the only true source of infinite abundance.

What’s even more paradoxical is that the less we seek that feeling of abundance from physical reality and instead seek more of it from Source, the more abundant our physical reality actually gets.

For example, the more connected we become to the infinitely abundant feeling of love from Source, the less we seek it from others in this world – and of course as soon as that happens, we automatically receive more love from others as well!

“Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.” – Matthew 13:12

This quote from the Bible has always stuck out to me. It’s an interesting quote because it kind of makes us think “Hey, wait a minute, that’s not fair!”

Fairness has nothing to do with reality. If you want more financial abundance in your life, first connect to the true source of infinite financial abundance – Source energy.

If you want more health, first connect to the true source of infinite health abundance – Source energy.

When you connect to Source, you will feel more financially abundant and you will make more money and even more will be given to you.

It’s just like going to the bank. When you have money, they can’t wait to lend you even more. When you don’t have any money, they refuse to lend you anything

I also talked about how nothing in this world will ever be enough for us if we seek abundance from it.

So what does this mean though?

Does this mean we should stop trying to live a better life? Should we stop trying to build wealth? Should we shed ourselves of all our material possessions? Should we stop trying to improve our health?

Should we just wait for some higher power to make our lives better?

No, absolutely not!

I’m all for living the largest life that you possibly can.

In order to do that though, you need to tap into the true source of abundance and that is not anything you’ll find in this physical reality.

What does that mean?

Well, this Blog post is a prime example. As I type these words, the source of them is not coming from anything you’ll find in this physical reality. Meaning, this sentence I am writing right now does not yet exist in physical reality until I write it. Now it exists, but just a few moments ago it didn’t exist until I typed it out.

Every word on this Blog comes from my consciousness which goes beyond this physical world. By Blogging I am transforming “Consciousness Energy” into something “tangible” in this physical reality. As soon as I transform the ideas and concepts in my mind into a Blog post, I give birth to a new construct in this physical reality which can now bring value to those people who read it.

In this way, Blogging is like alchemy. I am transforming concepts and ideas which come to me from Source energy into tangible physical constructs in this physical reality and by doing so I create something of value for others to read.

As more and more people find value in these constructs, my Blog gets more traffic and I make more money. Here’s what this looks like:

Source Energy -> Ideas / Concepts Given to Me -> Blog Post Written -> Value Created -> $$$

Do you see what I mean?

The source of everything I write on this Blog post comes from Source Energy. That is the real source of my abundance.

Even if I made just $1 per Blog post I write, if I wanted to make $10,000 all I would have to do is write 10,000 blog posts. How would I do that? By writing those things that come to me from Source Energy.

Let’s use another example.

Let’s use an artist who paints pictures. How do these artists make money?

Well, they go to the store and they buy a canvas, some paint brushes and some paints. Let’s say that all those supplies add up to $20. If that is the “value” of those supplies, then how is it that some artists can sell paintings for $100,000 or more? Where does that “value” come from?

If an artist takes $20 worth of supplies and goes into his studio and then five hours later walks out with a painting worth $100,000, where did that extra $99,980 worth of value come from?

It didn’t come from anywhere in this physical reality! It came directly from Source Energy.
True Sources of Abundance

True sources of abundance come from Source Energy.

They are free for us to use.

They are infinite in nature.

They can never be “used up”.

In fact, the more we use them, the more we have.

Think about those qualifies for a minute. Can you think of anything in this physical reality that has those qualities? Does money have these qualities? No, money is not free. It is not infinite. It can be used up.

What about real estate? Nope, it’s not free, it’s not infinite.

What about a stock portfolio? Nope.

What about a business? Nope, it’s neither free, nor infinite.

So what kind of things do exhibit these kinds of qualities?

Here’s one example: Ideas.

Ideas come to us from Source Energy. They are free. They are infinite. They can never be used up. If you give someone an idea, you don’t lose it yourself.

For example, here’s an idea for hanging doors I had which I used to easily hang a door.

When hanging a door there are usually two or three hinges that hold a door up and which screw into the door frame. When trying to hang a door, you have to align the door in such a way that it aligns with the hinges.

Since doors usually “hang” slightly above ground so as not to drag on the floor when we open and close them, in order to hang a door you have to hold it up about half an inch above ground. This usually means you need a second person to hold the door for you while you hang it, but even then it’s not easy to hold it exactly level.

So while hanging this door I had the idea to take some books and put them under the door. All you need is a book that’s thicker than the gap required under the door. You stick the book under the door, and you see how the hinges align. If the door is too high, you simply open the book up to the desired page which allows you regulate the height of the door.

Meaning, if the book you have is twice as thick as you need it to be, simply open up the book half way and place the door on top of it. If it’s still too high, only use one quarter of the thickness of the book.

In this way you can use a book (or books) to raise the door to any height you want. Once the hinges are screwed in, you just pull the book out.

There, I just shared an idea with you which I had for hanging doors. If you ever need to hang a door, you can use it if you wish.

Now, by sharing this idea with you, I transferred the concept of it from my consciousness to your consciousness. However, during that transfer did I lose the idea? No, the idea duplicates itself every time I share it with someone.

In fact, it could be that thousands of people might learn this idea from reading this Blog post. They might then share it with thousands of other people as well. However, regardless how many times this idea is shared, it doesn’t diminish in value for me.

Meaning, just because thousands of people now can use this idea to hang a door, it doesn’t make the idea any less valuable to me when I hang a door, right?

Do you see how ideas exhibit the abundance qualities I described above?

Well, what else has these qualities?

How about love?

When I express love towards something or someone, does that love get used up? Is there any less love in Source Energy after I use some of it? No! The supply is infinite.

How about inspiration?

When I inspire someone to take care of their health, or to make money online, does the process of sharing that inspiration with someone decrease the amount of inspiration I have? No, in fact the more people I inspire the more I get inspired myself.
Transforming True Abundance into Physical World “Abundance”

As I said before, nothing in this physical world is truly abundant. However, since our human lives are finite in nature themselves we can live lives which approximate abundance within the limits of physical reality.

For example, no amount of money in your bank account will ever be infinite. However, within the scope of our human lives and needs, there is an amount of money which we could accumulate which would be more than enough for us to live the lives we want and so it would approximate an infinite supply.

For example, if we had 50 million dollars as an example, that might be enough for us to never worry about money ever again. It’s not technically infinite, and it is possible to spend that kind of money if we don’t manage it properly, but for most people that would be an amount of money that would approximate total financial abundance.

How do we do this though? How do we “make” 50 million dollars?

Well, we don’t. You can’t really “make” 50 million dollars, unless you’re the US mint or something.

What we have to do is we have to transform value from a truly abundant source (Source Energy) into something valuable in this physical reality, and exchange it for 50 million dollars.

Mark Zuckerberg transformed an idea he had for Facebook, into a multi-billion dollar company.

Bill Gates did it with Microsoft.

Creating abundance in this physical world requires the ability to make something out of nothing. To take something worth “x” and transform it into something worth “10x” or “1,000x” or “1,000,000x” or more.

Remember, ideas are just one type of Source Energy. Not everyone in this world transforms idea energy into abundance.

For example, nurses take care of people in hospitals. They don’t necessary tap into idea energy as their source of abundance. They might tap into compassion, love, and healing energy as a way of transforming Source Energy into value in this physical world.

When a nurse expresses compassion towards a patient, the amount of compassion available in Source Energy doesn’t get used up. It’s infinite.

Fitness trainers tap into the Source Energies of ideas, compassion, inspiration and discipline to help their clients. When a fitness trainer inspires someone to transform their body, they are transforming the Source Energy of inspiration into value for the client.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what you do, the true source of all the abundance in your life comes from Source Energy. The trick is to become aware of that, so that we feel connected to this true abundance.

When we feel connected to Source Energy and the infinite abundance that it provides, our consciousness begins to vibrate at a totally different frequency compared to when we are focused on the lack we see in this physical world. When that happens, we begin to attract and manifest abundance in this physical world as well.

This physical world acts like a mirror for what’s going on in our consciousness. If you have poverty consciousness, you will live a poverty reality.

If you have an abundance consciousness, you will live an abundance reality.

Sometimes people ask me “How can I feel abundant when I’m broke, in debt and constantly stressed out about my finances? It’s easy for people to say that we need to feel abundant, but that’s because they have money. I don’t have money, so how am I supposed to feel abundant?”

The truth is that those people who now have money, once were in the same spot you were in. They don’t feel abundant because they have money – they have money because they feel abundant.

I’ll repeat that again – they don’t feel abundant because they have money, they have money because they feel abundant.

Feeling abundant comes first. Money comes second.

How do you feel abundant if you have no money? Awaken to all the abundance that you do have in your life even without money or any physical possessions.

Do you have the sense of sight? How much money is that worth?

Do you have the ability to speak? How much is that worth?

Look around your life and see what you already have, instead of focusing on what you lack. Do you have the ability to form ideas? How much is that worth?

Do you have the ability to learn new things? How much is that worth?

Do you have someone who loves you? How much is that worth?

Do you have the ability to love someone? How much is that worth?

Awaken to the fact that we are all born with billions of dollars worth of “gifts”, and have a direct connection to billions of dollars worth of Source Energy every single day.

Feel the abundance of that fact.

When you can do that, your vibration will shift, and you will begin to attract abundance in this physical world as well.

And you deserve it. All of it.

The toys, the money, the houses, the vacations, the healthy body, the friends, the lovers and all the wonderful thing we can have in this world. However, none of those things will ever make you feel as abundant as your connection to Source Energy.

That is not what they were designed for. They are just reflections, or trophies to celebrate a milestone.

Think of them like having a black belt in a marital art. Anyone can walk into a martial arts supply store and buy a black belt. But wearing that black belt isn’t going to make you feel safe if you didn’t earn it right?

When we say “I want a black belt in a martial art”, really what we are saying is that we want the knowledge and experience that comes with earning a black belt, and not the black belt itself.

We want to be able to defend ourselves or to learn the physical discipline required to earn a black belt. It’s not the block black belt we want, it’s the meaning behind it that we want.

If you earned a black belt in a martial art, and then someone broke into your house and stole your black belt, would you be any less of a black belt than you were before?

No, because the black belt is not really the source of your power. It’s just a symbol, a trophy.

Don’t confuse physical world symbols / trophies for the energy they represent.

Money is just a symbol. It’s a trophy. It’s not the real source of financial abundance. The real source of financial abundance is Source Energy.

The more you learn to connect to that as your source of power, the more money will flow into your life as well.

Take the gifts that Source Energy is giving you for free, and transform them into tangible value for others.

That is the way to experience abundance in this physical world.
