I guarantee you that the Law of Attraction IS working right now in your life and that I can definitely show you how to prove that to yourself. Here is a free e-book that explains it. The way you can prove it to yourself is to think of something small you would like to have appear in your life that is unusual enough that you will be sure when it shows up that you caused it.

It is important to choose something that you have NO NEGATIVE PROGRAMMING against having because any unconscious beliefs you are not yet aware of will keep it from working. Simply pick something that would have never come up in your past and you've never told anyone about - and don't tell them about it now either. You don't want other people's negative beliefs in your head.

If you're extremely skeptical make it something small. Be cautious of making it money because most of us have enormous negative beliefs surrounding that subject. If you must make it money be sure it is small enough that you can believe you can have it and large enough to know you attracted it.

Here's your chance to prove once and for all whether it does or doesn't work - if you can give it a fair chance and following my suggestions with an open mind WILL give it the chance to work in your life too.

P.S. I'm fairly sure that SOMEONE who reads what I post knows how to get text to wrap around images here to eliminate those big blank spaces to the right of the images I post. If someone would take the time to send me a message here and let me know I will use your suggestion, send anything you desire traffic for visitors, and share that bit of skill with others here and elsewhere. Thank you.

[Disclosure: If you choose to download this book FREE you will be offered an audio version for $9. The author offers an affiliate program that pays out 80% of that $9 to the referrer. The page I linked in here IS NOT an affiliate link. If you WANT to buy the audio and use an affiliate link which could theoretically generate income for me here it is: receivethebook.com/index.php [receivethebook.com/index.php] .

I'm taking the time to explain that to help people better understand the pros and cons of affiliate programs. They ARE a way anyone online can generate additional income. They MAY cause some to recommend things only for the money. As I hope anyone can tell from what I share at StumbleUpon and elsewhere I DO NOT decide what to share based on whether it does or does not make me money.

I post this information to make this common form of earning money online transparent to everyone. My personal opinion is that we should be willing to reward those who invest their time and effort in helping us. As long as someone acts with integrity I encourage each of you to consider making affiliate programs one step towards financial independence.

Note that just as you could choose to reward the person who created that audio file with a small amount of money and whoever recommends it to you a slightly larger small amount of money, you can also join the affiliate program so that whoever you share it with can choose to reward you with a small amount of money. That is how affiliate programs work. Nothing sinister about it.

Imagine what life would look like if everyone generously rewarded those who make a difference in their life? This is one of many ways to do that. I do not understand why so many are so opposed to methods that could bring abundance to others.

Many forums ban affiliate links. Many sites are opposed to "link-dropping". One of the things that makes StumbleUpon special and so highly used is that to date they have not taken any actions to prevent people from sharing recommendations or using affiliate links (although I believe the above is the first time I have ever offered one here so we'll see). If they're wise they won't change that.]

Why does "sin" have to do with entrepreneurial success? More than most imagine. That word has been incorrectly defined for us all our lives. It literally means "to miss the mark" - not the many things we have been led to mean it refers to that some call "self-inflicted nonsense".

From the page: "To quote George Bernard Shaw, "It is a sin to be poor."

If you trace the etymology (roots) of the word sin to its Greek origin, you'll find that it comes from an archery term meaning "to miss the mark."

In today's society, you're compensated monetarily based upon the value (real or perceived) that you provide.

For example, we obviously place more value on our own entertainment than we do our own evolution, transformation and growth. Witness the difference in remuneration between an actor and a teacher.

We also have no problem compensating our sports figures multiple millions of dollars per year to chase balls around a field (Tiger Woods pulled in over $80 million last year), but we think that our spiritual teachers are supposed to be paupers. That's faulty logic.

It's interesting to me that many of us in Western culture are conditioned to believe that it's not "spiritual" to make (or desire) large sums of money (green energy). This is ludicrous!"

More from the page: "When you truly understand that the money in your world (or lack thereof) is directly related to the value you provide, then you'll realize that those who aren't making enough of it aren't providing enough value. This is the REAL mistake or missing the mark: an incorrect focus.

Quite frankly, I've never had a money goal for the entirety of my life until just recently... and yet I've become a multi-millionaire. Why? My entire focus has been to learn, grow, love and give more value to myself and others.
...and money has come as a byproduct of this focus.

"Why do you have one now?" you may ask. Only because I believe that in our society, like Warren Buffet states, "Money is just a convenient way of keeping score." I use the money my company generates as a feedback mechanism to how much value we're providing to the world. No more, no less."

From the page: "Ernest Holmes founded the International Religious Science movement, wrote "The Science of Mind" and numerous other books on metaphysics, and originated the international periodical Science of Mind magazine, which has been in continuous publication since 1927. Holmes' Science of Mind teaching, recognized today as one of the leading viewpoints in modern metaphysics, is a spiritual philosophy that has brought to people around the world a working cosmology - a sense of their relationship to God and their place in the Universe - and a positive, supportive approach to daily living.

Ernest Holmes was born in 1887 on a small Maine farm, the youngest of nine sons. As a teenager, he attended Bethel preparatory school, but he spent most of his time out-of-doors, asking himself "What is God? Who am I? Why am I here?" He mentally tangled with all the local preachers and doubted the answers he got in church. At the age of 18 he left school and formal education and set out on his lifelong course of independent thinking. He went to Boston, worked in a grocery store, and pursued his studies relentlessly. A year late, he discovered the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Reading Emerson is like drinking water to me," he said later. His metaphysical studies intensified, his quest for truth leading him to literature, art, science, philosophy, and religion, and in particular the Christian Science teachings of Mary Baker Eddy.

After Ernest Holmes became acquainted with the writings of Emerson and Mary Baker Eddy, he soon was exploring the writings of Christian D. Larson, Ralph Waldo Trine, Horatio Dresser and Phineas Quimby. Holmes was particularly impressed with the New Thought writings of Larson and eventually abandoned the Christian Science textbook for Larson's works."

Collectively we have been making the mistake of wanting immediate "payment" for all that we do. Instead of expecting what we sow to be "paid for" by that specific person, the universe will always compensate us FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

We reap what we sow always and without exception. We are repaid abundantly many times over. Rarely, though, will that come directly from the source we "expect".

This is the concept of "pay it forward" and we can all contribute to creating a peaceful, abundant world for all by looking for small ways every day to do this.

From the page: "WHAT IS "PAY IT FORWARD"? - "Pay It Forward" is a book written by Catherine Ryan Hyde, but it's also an idea. It's an action plan within a work of fiction. But does it have to be fiction? We're hoping not. In fact, since the book was released in January of 2000, a real-life social movement has emerged, not just in the U.S. but worldwide. What began as a work of fiction has already become much more.

Reuben St. Clair, the teacher and protagonist in the book "Pay It Forward," starts a movement with this voluntary, extra-credit assignment: THINK OF AN IDEA FOR WORLD CHANGE, AND PUT IT INTO ACTION."

Ange answered Marty's request to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Charity function at SMX and she had dropped by my blog so I was leaving a comment in hers. She blogs about some subjects I've posted frequently on here so I'm sharing this one.

From the page: "Bhagavad-Gita - I don't know about you but I seem to get so busy at times that I almost forget to breath. Taking time out in our daily lives for a little quiet meditation is a way for us to look inside ourselves and listen for messages from our hearts and minds. It seems that we are constantly looking outside of ourselves for ways to improve but wisdom comes from within. We have all the answers that we need and taking time out for meditation and just listening is a way to find these answers.

If you are not familiar with meditation, it does take some time to actually get it and to be able to sit or lie still in a place where you will not be disturbed. I found it difficult at first to just be and not let thoughts run through my head. "

More than ever I sincerely KNOW that as Einstein explained, our physical reality is a reflection of our collective thoughts. I would be glad to discuss this with anyone who is interested publicly or privately. Anyone can test this theory in their own life. Simply select something small that you have no negative beliefs about are willing to accept as possible. Make the decision that it is already in your life and it will show up. The stronger you can emotionally believe this truth the faster you will see it in the physical world.

Do not dismiss this idea without testing it for yourself. What do you have to lose? How many examples of "coincidences" in your own life can you think of that are statistically improbable? If you can't think of any of your own I'll provide you with some of mine and that I've observed in the lives of others.

The largest one in my own life was an all-expenses paid eight days and nights trip to Cape Town, South Africa to speak at a once-in-a-lifetime International Thoroughbred Breeders (Race Horse) Seminar. Those who require proof can see the photos and links to recordings of that conference at racingpartnerships.com/SaFConference.htm [racingpartnerships.com/SaFConference.htm] . I personally took the photo of the racetrack shown at the top of that page while I was there and have abundant digital photos from the trip.

Prior to being invited to speak there I had only spoken to small groups. I did not have a passport. I had only traveled to the U.S. side of Niagara Falls (because my Grandparents lived in West Seneca, NY) and just across the Mexican border to the horse track in Tijuana. I had resigned after 23 years at IBM and was what most "normal" Americans would call "unemployed" and I call freedom from the J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) wage slavery of career life. I didn't have enough cash on hand to know I could get to DFW airport to make the trip much less entertain the idea of going to South Africa.

What I did have though was a rare feeling of "wow - I'd love to speak at that conference" and that desire coupled with absolutely no negative belief systems against any part of actually doing that sent me there. (Travel to other countries and speaking at conferences would never have come up in my childhood of being the oldest of five children born to a stay-at-home Mother and an Air Force career Father.)

I now know that abundance IS our natural state. Whatever we do not experience in our physical life is being blocked by our negative thoughts and beliefs. As many wise philosophers have said before me, "Change your thinking; change your life". Life is whatever you focus on. Most of us have been conditioned to focus on fear and feed our minds a steady diet of the stuff. Look at any person's life and it is easy to see that what they focus on is what dominates their time and grows in their life.

Those who work the hardest doing physical labor may work more than one job and still be poor. Those who make money the goal of their life may be millionaires but have poor family and personal lives. As the cliche goes, "think outside the box" - your life can be ANYTHING - ANY THING - you can imagine. You do NOT have to have a job. You do NOT have to be sick. You do NOT have to live THERE or do any other single thing you are currently doing. If the word "should" accompanies any thought it is SOMEONE ELSE'S IDEA of what you "should" be doing with YOUR life.

Life is NOT a dress rehearsal. YOU are the director and the lead in your "movie". If you aren't thrilled with this particular version you get to change it. If you don't like the movie you can change that too. I know it is scary. You may not find the courage to do it right away. But you CAN do anything you truly desire and believe.

From the page: "The good news is regardless of our current circumstances, we can choose our thoughts and how we react to any situation. We can choose to be positive, loving, and appreciative or negative, judgmental and critical."

What we focus on creates our reality. If you doubt that check out this article on how burn victims "lose themselves" in virtual reality to control pain.

If you believe something it can work for you. If you're sure it won't work you can block the effectiveness.

From the page: "Pain perception has a strong psychological component. The same incoming pain signal can be interpreted as painful or not, depending on what the patient is thinking. Pain requires conscious attention. The essence of VR is the illusion users have of going inside the computer-generated environment. Being drawn into another world drains a lot of attentional resources, leaving less attention available to process pain signals. Conscious attention is like a spotlight. Usually it is focussed on the pain and woundcare. We are luring that spotlight into the virtual world. Rather than having pain as the focus of their attention, for many patients in VR, the wound care becomes more of an annoyance, distracting them from their primary goal of exploring the virtual world."
