Would you be offended if someone gave you ‘the finger’?  Maybe you’re saying;”of course !” Well, imagine that you live on a small isolated island, Isla de Pascua (an island in the South Pacific ), do you think the finger would be offensive there?  Likely not.

Okay, what if you were a tourist from North America visiting that small isolated island and everyone you passed gave you ‘the finger’ and smiled while they were doing it? Do you think you’d still be offended?  My guess is still, yes, right?  Now, what if you suddenly discovered that on this island ‘the finger’ means ‘good morning’ , (by the way this is theoretical).  Do you think the level of offense would go down considerably?  Of course, it would.  It might take some getting used to, but within a fairly short period you would smile as you received the greeting.

We assign the meaning of something to the meaning we have given it, even if that meaning is limited or even incorrect.

What’s more, we also assume that the meaning is not only our own, but somewhat universal, or ‘common knowledge’.

How many times do you think you have had the experience of struggling with something that at some level you just knew should be so easy? You read everything you could, you got help from friends, and you practiced it over and over and still couldn’t get it.  Then, just as you are ready to give up , just as you are about to give up on ‘it’ or yourself , someone hands you exactly what you needed, the equation makes sense, and it all falls into place.

Do you remember one of those times? Do you remember how frustrating that can be?
Good, now that you’ve got that clear in your mind, think about this…

Do you ever remember trying to explain something to someone, who’s just not getting it? You tried showing them in as many different ways as you can but they are just not getting it. You may even have told a friend or family member how frustrated you are and that “it’s common knowledge , why can’t they get it?”

Do you also realize that the thing you were once frustrated at trying to learn or understand is now something that you take for granted?

What you may not have previously thought about is, there is a tipping-point in knowledge ; it’s the point where we go from knowing the thing we wanted to know, to now knowing it unconsciously. In other words, we know it without having to think about it.  It’s at this point where the ego-mind can make a grab for the knowledge and claim it as ‘common knowledge’.  If the ego-mind grabs the info it will have you thinking that there is something wrong with someone for not knowing what you know .  However, please remember this…

‘common knowledge’ means it’s common to you.

Coming back to that moment when you went from complete frustration and wanting to give-up on mastering ‘it’ and then you are handed the exact formula you need and everything clicks into place, you see it all so clearly and you feel the relief.

Maybe you’ve had that feeling when it comes to manifesting?

To create true abundance in your life you will need two broad spectrum things: An external process and an internal process.

Having an external experience of abundance is a direct result of living an internal experience of abundance.

However, we all know that to some degree that internal experience is also determined at least to some degree by the external experience . It goes something like this: Wealthy thinking/feeling, (internal) — Wealthy experiences , money and stuff, (external). Having the money and stuff gives us validation of experiencing abundance and in so doing creates the thinking and feeling, (internal again).

The thought process and feelings build within us , (internal) and add to our field attracting more of the external experiences that validate us , (external). Put simply:

Being leads to having and having leads to being.

It’s a loop . And so you see that you must have both experiences going on , because one feeds into the other over and over again. In this article I want to focus on you getting the external result because as far as I know I’ve already offered you the very best internal process: “The Equation for Manifestation” .

(If you haven’t got it the home study program will be available soon at www.EquationForManifestation.com , meanwhile, I’m giving you 5 FREE video lessons about the real secrets of manifestation ).

Okay back to the external experience of abundance : I have said on many occasions that real abundance is a lot more than money; in fact money is only one expression of wealth. Nonetheless, it is an important part of the whole experience.

If you want to create wealth in your life you have got to be able to recognize value . More specifically you must be able to recognize your own value.

If you are genuinely resonating from a place of abundance opportunities will present themselves to you at every turn. However, when those opportunities show up if you have nothing of value to offer why would anyone give you their money?

Money is an energetic medium of exchange!

Here’s the real secret to understanding and creating abundance: People buy energy, whether it’s your personal energy in the form of a service you offer or your energy expressed through the product you create. They are always buying your energy.

Nothing is ever bought or sold beyond the desire for an experience we hope that energy will bring.

Think about Starbucks™ when they started out they sold coffee at about four times the price of their competitors. Why did anyone pay so much for that cup of frothy coffee? The simple answer was because they were not and never have sold ‘coffee’. What they sell is the energy of what they call “The third place experience” .

Starbucks™ wants you to think of their store as the third place you’d hang out at, (first being home, second being work). The Starbucks™ ‘third place’ philosophy is that of the show ‘Cheers’, the place you can go where everyone knows your name and your beverage of choice. They want you to go there because they were building the energy of it being ‘your’ third place.

So that brings us to the big question: What do you have to offer?

What is the unique value you bring to the world that people will line up at your door to give you money for?

I f you don’t know the answer, it’s because you are blind, (as are most people) to your own gifts. Right now, get out a pen and paper and write down the names of 5 people who know you well. Now write down the names of 5 people who know you, but not that well .

Now make a commitment to call or meet with each of them over the next 7 days. (If you spread it out too far it’s easy to become disconnected from what was said). Ask each of them to be totally honest and tell you what they see as your greatest strength. Ask each of them to tell you what they see as your personal genius blind spot. Take down every word you hear even if you have no interest in pursuing it, even if you think the person is completely wrong or crazy.

Collect the data, sift through it, look for common themes and design a product or service around what came out of your survey. What you come up with will be an expression of your inner genius and that my friend is the energy they want and they will be banging your door down to give you their money to get.

Imagine for a moment that you grew up in some village that is cut off from almost everyone outside the village and in your village everyone tells you and everyone else in the village that 4+4 = 7 .

Somewhere inside you there is a deep knowing that this is incorrect. However, everyone who surrounds you tells you 4+4=7. The village newspaper says 4+4=7; the village radio station says 4+4=7, your mother, father, sister, brother and everyone you know all agree 4+4=7.  The truth is that everyone in the village is going to be willing to fight to hold onto their collective reality and…

it will take courage to stand up and say “no” and do what is right for you, your heart and soul.

Do you now begin to understand how hard it can be to stand in your truth when you are confronted with this ‘truth’ at every turn? Do you see how easy it would be to just go along with what they are saying? In fact you may even begin to think you are a little crazy for thinking differently than they do. That 4+4=7 could be about money, however it could just as easily be a message about health, finding an excellent life partner or anything else you desire.

Here’s the news: You don’t have to fight to achieve abundance ; the ‘Truth’ is that it naturally flows to you and all of us . What you must be willing to fight against is the limited, restrictive mindset that bombards you. Because if you cannot fight beyond the conditioning your ego-mind will never see beyond your own conditioning and the messages you are being fed every single day.

We’ve talked about how important it is to understand that money, wealth and abundance doesn’t have to be hard to achieve, even in an economic downturn. However, as I’ve said many times that doesn’t mean you get to sit around nurturing some false idea of entitlement, some false concept that the world owes you something.

Yes you are unique in your expression in the world, but unique doesn’t make you ‘special’ or ‘better than’, that’s just ego shit.

To achieve the kind of abundance you may dream of, you must express your unique value in the world, and that my friends will take effort. In simple terms you will have to get off your bum, go out into the world, face the possible rejection and peddle your wares.

Now even though you don’t actually have to fight to get abundance and all you have to do is let it in , that is, much easier said than done. Here’s why: You don’t need to fight for the wealth but the irony is that you very well may need to fight to break out of the personal and collective conditioning that says you do and the ego-mind says is true.

It’s an interesting irony isn’t it?  Just think about it for a moment or two . You live, (as do we all) inside a system that tells you at every turn that money, wealth and real abundance is hard to come by , and even though you may know at some deeper level, that’s just not true , you (we) are bombarded with information that says it is true.  We are conditioned to want more, more, more, but what do we really need? What is it that’s really important to us? And what if it’s free?

Once again I remind you this is the time to turn fear into power! To stand up and follow your heart, to grab a hold of the opportunities that are knocking at your door.

Our modes of thinking and the way we have operated in the world are coming to a close; we must embrace change and opportunity at every turn.

Those who choose to quickly embrace change will flourish.

Again: It is time to invest in you! What does that mean? Invest emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and despite the economic scare tactics, FINANCIALLY too.

Invest in your most valuable asset, your development . It’s time to invest in your hopes, your dreams, your heart and your soul. Invest in what takes you out of the limited mindset . Remember that fear is perpetrated to keep us ignorant and only those who are willing to know shall be truly free.

Personally I’d rather play with the ego instead of fighting it. I did that recently:  Click here to see a great, (and FUN) video for you that show what the ego wants verses want is at the center for the Self.

Feel free to comment on the video here and on youtube.

We all know money doesn’t magically turn up out of thin air, but there again somewhere deep inside us we also know that money, wealth, abundance doesn’t have to be hard to attain. We see people all the time who understand the energy of money, people who seem to have an Attracting Force about them that just magnetizes money and the opportunity to have more of it come to them. But the big question is: How? How can those of us who don’t have that certain something get some of it?

We are all here experiencing life in the material world and even though you may not give a cat’s fart about being ‘Trump’ wealthy, you do want to move through your life with enough money to be able to pay for the interactive and joyous experiences you want for yourself and your loved ones. And my guess is you would rather do it without struggle, with a sense that it’s all coming to you naturally.

When you know how to tap into the equation for manifestation that natural level of wealth, money doesn’t rain down from the sky. But what does happen is…

People and opportunities will show up from places that are expected and unexpected.

So you’ve got to keep your eye, ears and perceptions wide open. Sometimes they will be banging on your doors, climbing over your walls and leaking in through the cracks in the windows. Other times they will be subtle, a whisper you overheard from a friend, coworker or casual meeting that presents something you had never even considered and your ego-mind may want to dismiss it, but somewhere deep inside you’ll know, it’s a golden opportunity.

The key thing is to be willing to be open when someone or something genuinely shows up to present you with an opportunity to expand your wealth consciousness and your wealth experience.

In a time where the media doom and gloom is at a record high it can be hard to silence the paranoid noise of lack.

But right now just stop for a moment, ask yourself, and please be honest:

Has some part of you gone deaf to anything other than survival thinking? Has some part of you been blocking out the opportunities that surround you?

Here’s a another question for you to consider: What opportunities that are right in front of you, are you not seeing because you are wearing the fear blinders that have been sold to you?

Remember manifestation of wealth isn’t a magical process were money falls out of the sky, it is, however, where opportunity knocks.

Some open the door, while others bolt it a little tighter.

Which one are you? And which one are you willing to be?

I look forward to your comments and feedback.
Until next time, Live with Courage, Dov…
