Here begins a daily record of my thoughts and observations as I embark on one of the most extraordinary journeys of my life - to guide, support and inspire a group of twelve participants looking to transform their relationship to wealth and abundance.
The Living a Wealthy Life course is now one week in. I've taken all twelve participants through the first week - twelve one-to-one coaching sessions and three conference calls - all conducted by phone. It has been an amazing week for me and, I trust, for all concerned as we step on this incredible journey into wealth creation / wealth attraction. Now don't misunderstand me here. When I talk about wealth I'm not just talking about money. I'm talking about wealth in its original meaning. The word 'wealth' comes from the old English word ‘weal’, meaning well-being. Being wealthy, then, is to be well in your being. A wealthy person is someone who is able to attract a flow of abundant energy into their lives, of which money is of course a part. But the conception of money for an authentically wealthy person is entirely different than it is for most of us. A truly weathy does not buy into the consensus delusion of lack but understands that there is more than enough to go around for everyone, more than enough money, more than enough love, more than enough joy, more than enough happiness. An authentically wealthy person is simply a conduit for that energy and allows it to flow through them.
The art of wealth creation is a living art. We tend to think of a wealthy person simply as someone who has a lot of money. This is to confuse wealth as the state of having money, with wealth as a dynamic human quality or disposition to attract a flow of monetary energy. When a person lives their life from a disposition of wealth consciousness, then he or she has the ability to attract a flow of abundance to them, regardless of how much money they may or may not have in the bank at any particular time.
So money is energy and the natural condition of energy is one of continual dynamic flux. Our relationship to money can either be one of attraction or repulsion, just like our relationship to love, health and joy. Either we are attracting the naturally abundant flow of energy to us, or we are repelling it. If we are repelling it, then we are still in a condition of attraction (we are naturally ‘attractive’ beings), but we are attracting its opposite; lack.
The vast majority of us have built a wall of meaning that is founded upon lack and limitation. This is the way we have been conditioned to think! But lack is an entirely human construct. It does not exist in nature. We are told early in life that there is only so much to go round, that there is scarcity, and we believe that. Indeed, we reinforce it with every thought, feeling and belief we have at our disposal. We live inside these ideological walls of lack and limitation without even realising that they are there. We are always doing this, whether we are conscious of it or not. We reinforce these walls each time we bash into them, but they are only there because we have put them there through what we are thinking! There are no walls in nature, the boundaries that do exist are always permeable and in a dynamic condition of flux and transformation. By living within humanly-constructed walls of lack and limitation, however, we are unnaturally trying to control the abundant flow of the universe! Abundance in nature is effortless and, if we can stop struggling, stop trying to control everything around us, then attracting abundance will be effortless for us too.
The beginning of this course coincides with me moving, with my wife Colette, to a new home in Clifton Village in Bristol - a home that came about as a true act of manifestation, the result of our daily practices with the law of attraction that have completely turned our lives around. So here I am with the most spectacular view over Victoria Square at my desk connected to the world via skype, one of the wonders of modern internet telephony - and I'm doing what I love most in the world - being an inspiration and catalyst for transformation.
Love, John
