Actually, it's no surprise. No one has made either a comment or a donation. Am I a fool to think that someone would help? Probably. Especially in this economy. What does it take to get on the radar screen of the Gates Foundation?
Anyway, I've been listening to this law of attraction and abundance stuff lately. I have to admit, they have a point. Joe Vitale is probably the best resource to come out of that group. He's down to earth, he's been there (homeless and poverty-stricken 30 years ago), and he doesn't get all kinds of mystical weird-like on me.
I don't like The Secret because it over-dramatizes and spiritualizes simple examples of cause and effect. As ye sows, so shall ye reap. The emphasis in the movie, why The Secret works they say, is to go from positive thinking to positive feeling. They go to great lengths to make this sound absolutely amazing.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for a lot of people because there's something else that needs clarification: the role and power of the subconscious mind. That's where the force to attract or repel really comes from. Affecting your subconscious is not as easy as choosing your mood. Your subconscious is like a protective layer that prevents your conscious mind from being completely whimsical, irresponsible, and spontaneous (but otherwise fun to be around). It provides stability in drawing you back to what you really believe, giving you a conscience and integrity, and takes its information from various sources including yourself, family, friends, the culture you grew up in, and even media.
My problem is that I feel stuck and undeserving at a subconscious level. I can choose to be happy, content, peaceful. But maintaining that choice is a struggle because my subconscious believes otherwise. Guess what! My subconscious wins. (Woopee!) Now, thanks to Joe Vitale's "The Secret to Attracting Money," (made available through Nightingale-Conant), I am aware of how powerful this block is to getting what I think I want. I can now go past the positive thinking and the good feelings that didn't work for me, and get to the core of the matter: consciously making the effort to change my subconscious.
Where did those undeserving feelings come from? Stay tuned for another blog entry...!

You are not a fool my sweet friend. You are simply looking in the wrong places for help. Turn to the One you believe in, God. Ask Him to help you. He will. God is simply wanting you to trust in Him and only Him. One thing for certain, is you must be patient with Him. God works on His timing not ours. Simply surrender all your worries to Him. He will take care of them.
Praying for you and I love you.
