We all know on some level that our intentions become our experience. The evidence from our daily lives suggest that what we think about and feel strongly about will manifest as events and circumstances in our physical world.
But there are levels of knowing, and most people have only a casual understanding of the nature of observation/experience. Feel deeply into the notion that what vibrates powerfully in your essence will INEVITABLY emerge into the world of matter and action.
Manifestation is not a personal development tool. It’s part of the cosmic function, i.e. an expression of the way things are.
We are certainly not slaves to every thought as some writers suggest. There is no need to fear the bizarre, negative patterns and images that race through our minds because we can simply choose to reject or empower thoughts at our own discretion.
Understanding the manifestation process is not about micro-managing the brain’s verbal thought mapping. In fact a deep grasp of attraction and manifestation reveals our ego mind has little to do with the creative process.
The title of this post is worth contemplating at length. You might even affirm this statement throughout the day until it “clicks”.
First BE. Then you may do freely.
The millionaire entrepreneur became wealthy well before the currency arrived in her bank account.
The young man who lost 25 pounds and became a rock-solid specimen of muscle tone and power arrived at the point of being trim and fit well before his body shifted to reflect this state.
This is about more than thinking in a positive fashion. While affirmative thoughts appear at the onset of the transformation process to BE implies a state of absolute “is-ness”.
Before you lift your hand to scratch an itch on the end of your nose, your brain transmits the command to do so. All the information is present within the tiny electric flashes that roll across the surface of your brain and there is no doubt as to whether the action will occur.
When you were conceived in the womb, a tiny spec of matter contained every bit of data regarding your eye color, how tall you would grow (barring any setbacks), how effectively your pancreas would process glucose, your pain threshold, whether you would prefer chocolate or vanilla, and thousands of other details. Long before you were born the focused intent of the sperm and egg called you into being.
Everything begins in the unseen and then flows into the seen or known.
So before you can hold, express, or enjoy the object of your desire you must be or allow to be.
I’m talking about the truth of creation here. Or at least I’m trying to capture with words the essence of the creative process.
If your desire is a jelly donut then you must absolutely have the experience of holding a jelly donut in your hand, complete to the last detail of the sticky glaze on your fingertips, the red glob of filling that lands on your shirt, and the smell of raspberry seeping through the flaky crust of the pastry. Indeed all this happens in your mind well before you arrive at the bakery.
Think about how to BE and allow to BE what you want. Master this and you’ll shift into a life experience of creative bliss.

Is there life after death?
How did life begin in the first place?
Do we have disembodied souls?
Is reincarnation real?
These are fascinating questions with no cut-and-dry answers. The organized faiths of the world have, in a sense, prospered due to the continual asking of these questions.
Every human being who bothers to think at some point arrives at these basic questions. And religion promises answers, or at least comfort.
While I think how life began and what happens after the body expires are topics for great philosophical conversation, I do not believe such things are as important as what we do in the present moment and how we define our life journey.
Do the specifics of how the universe started really help us find out who we are in this life and how we might best serve others? Does the exact nature of what happens to our consciousness after it leaves our bodies honestly take precedence over how we can make the world a better place right now?
I think not.
And I believe this is yet another example of the great failing of organized dogma. Religious teachings preoccupy people with what might happen to them in the next life should they fail to adhere to proper ceremony. Likewise many creeds demand absolute agreement with the official version of how things began on earth, to the extent that such areas of the theology are elevated to priority status.
Scientific studies have provided some interesting evidence about the nature of universal beginnings, and about the fact that our physical reality is still expanding from a point of possible origin. In the same way various studies and personal accounts have revealed some interesting possibilities about what happens when someone dies.
I certainly have many of my own thoughts on these matters. But again: It seems grossly unintuitive to obsess on such details at the expense of the present moment and all the good that is here and now.
Asking and discussing are part of the spiritual journey. Insisting on absolutes, becoming preoccupied with such matters of past or future, and transferring one’s self-esteem into a specific view of these matters are - I believe - products of the hypnotized mind and not inspired being.
Who doesn’t wonder about life after death? And who isn’t at times mesmerized by how the universe began?
Even more to the point, who among us has not sat baffled by the question:
How could existence have a beginning, for what would have been prior to a time when the Universe was?
These are profound concepts, at least at this time in human understanding. But speculatively addressing them does little in terms of nurturing true spiritual growth.
The meaning of life is HERE AND NOW, as is the opportunity to share love with self and others and to fully be immersed in the experience of living. Perhaps someday, or in some dimension adjacent to this present, all answers will be/are known; in the absence of such a knowing the greatest wisdom invites us to simply be in the mystery and love the unfolding of each new moment.

Anyone can choose to be wealthy right now, as in immediately . Read this entire post from start to finish and you’ll understand.
The physical world we see and touch is the result of our vibratory state. In other words what happens around us is a reflection of our inner state. Of course there really is no in here/out there distinction in the one reality, but these terms help us understand and conceptualize.
Clear yourself and accept this message as if for the first time and you will know change:
How many times have you seen or heard the phrase “wealth is a state of mind”? And how many times have you simply shrugged this off, or “sort of” believed it to be true?
The fact is, the reality you are living in this moment is the result of thoughts, actions, and feelings from previous moments. Therefore, the reality you’ll experience in the days ahead is the manifestation of what you are thinking, how you are feeling, and the actions you are taking (or not taking) here in this present moment.
Furthermore, wealth is really not a measure of monetary holding. Nor is your net worth figure.
Both of these things are a part of wealth, but neither is the core element. Wealth is about feeling happy, comfortable, abundant, secure, optimistic, excited, and grateful for the current state of your life .
Money is a wonderful spiritual energy but it becomes a negative force when it’s the center of much worry and anxiety. If you earn $40,000 per year and you’re wonderfully grateful for your work, your home, and all the joys your income brings then you are very wealthy indeed!
But if you are fretting the economy, constantly checking your accounts and worrying about how to get more than what you now have, you are pushing wealth away from you. And we’ve all met people with very large bank accounts who behave like this - hence my point that wealth is about more than just dollar amounts.
Being wealthy just means you feel abundant in the moment and you are aware of the fact that you deserve to prosper. From this center your actions will reflect a sincere desire to create and allow even more to come into your life.
In the same way we all have plenty of air to breathe whenever we like, we also have access to all the wealth we need to live in the abundance we desire.
I had a very difficult time grasping this concept. I paid lip service to it for months, but never really felt into it.
Then one day something shifted inside me. It all seemed so incredibly clear. I realized that by always wanting more from a feeling of not yet having enough I was creating a constant process of lack and poverty.
Only when I began to express true moment to moment gratitude and live each day from the place of really having and enjoying the many blessings in my life did I understand the truth about wealth .
In particular, look at the underlined statement above about really having . If you hold $1,000 in your savings account but constantly bemoan the fact that you don’t have $5,000, it’s as if you don’t have the first thousand at all… because you don’t really appreciate it!
In the above scenario, change perspective and rejoice in the fact that you have $1,000 above and beyond the money you circulate for each month’s necessities! This is the nature of wealthy thinking - it’s all about starting each day, in fact launching each thought from a positive attitude.
Some readers will have a moment of clarity as they absorb this post. Others will get a vague feel for what I’m saying, but won’t fully comprehend the magnitude. Still others will roll their eyes and say “whatever”.
This amazing truth reveals itself fully when the individual is ready to understand.
To this end I wish you much prosperity and quick understanding. Also I urge you to continue to seek an understanding of the concepts of intention, inspiration, and manifestation/attraction as these principles will help you be as wealthy as you like.
