The other night, leg cramps kept me up at night so I found myself watching these various couples discuss their success over buying a Real Estate course in this infomercial, at 2AM.
The evidence that people are purchasing these "Sudden Wealth" programs are right there on the television screen in front of me.
After all, the advertisers of these "Complete Kits" would not otherwise continue to pay for this advertising without continuous customers.
I'm not necessarily trying to say to you that it's _always_ a bad idea to call that 800 number and order.
... However, if you have a subtle, but conflicting dialog in your head while dialing the numbers on the phone...
- in other words, if you are going against your instincts -
.. then you are probably reinforcing one of the following beliefs, unconsciously, by being the willing consumer:
Belief #1. I am not "plugged in" enough to this Universe to ever receive just the right Avenue for my wealth, one that suits *me*. Things just don't work out for me that way, so I will force a solution by buying into this.
( can you guess how possibly unhappy someone's external circum- stances would be, with this belief? Guess what? If you exist, than you Are plugged in!)
Belief #2 "My Wealth is decided by External Forces, and this Instant-Cash marketer on the screen looks like he's got 'Inside Information' on these external forces, so I'd better get in on this."
Belief #3 "If I don't buy this program, than it means that I'm probably passing up on the incredible lifestyle I see in the background" - the infomercial sponsors probably assume a mostly male audience, because the most prominent "props" are the young, attractive women on a boat - which I'm not complaining about.
Other than reinforcing limiting beliefs, this kind of "Aimlessly Grasping outward", for solutions of getting more money is an ex ample of
- Backward Thinking -
at least to me - and I'll explain why I think this is the case..
The *only* thing worth spending your investment of emotional and thought energy is:
What does *your* Ideal Life look like, from the time you get up in the morning, to WHO you are with, WHAT you might doing, WHERE you live, etc..?
Those ancient, and not so ancient writers such as Wallace Wattles, Charles Fillmore, Neville Goddard who wrote about Universal Principles, such as the Law of Attraction, truly led the way on how to Radiate the proper emotionalized thoughts!
Think: END RESULT..
"Assume the Feeling of the Wish Fulfilled." - Neville
It's a simple habit to get into - but not necessarily easy - to Visualize with Feeling a picture of what your ideal life is, on a daily basis.
I say "Not Easy", because: We put so much importance on our current physical reality.
Wallace Wattles said that this is the hardest work for us to to do ...
We DO need to dwell on - with our thoughts - What we desire vs Reinforcing (with our attention), the External appearances
Besides doing your best to visualize daily and with Feeling, also, I've found through a lot of reading, and application of these concepts gleaned from my reading, that Life gives you nice bonuses when you simply:
=> Do something you Love doing Just for the Joy it gives you
