Affirmation Advantages: Poverty consciousness  and Material Well-Being

We are what we choose to be. Man has access to all the gifts given by Existence. Yet life on earth for many is one of want and deprivation. There are people living below relative poverty lines, and there are those who are overwhelmed by their excesses in wealth. Why these differences? Is it that God is partial and kind to one at the cost of another?

No! Relative differences arise because one believes that the abundance of the earth is for him to reach out and access, while the poverty-torn person unconsciously and continuously re-affirms his / her poverty-consciousness. The former believes that life is a sordid affair and was meant to be an experience in groveling in the mud of lack and want. While this idea may not be a conscious thought that rules the mind, it pervades the subconscious mind. Life for such people is weary, stale, flat and unprofitable.

Further, these thoughts have been consciously predominant in their thoughts and experiences of earlier incarnations...causing them, by virtue of the law of cause and effect commingled with the law of magnetism, to incarnate in situations that would only manifest what they themselves believed to be true in the past!

Consequently, rather than blame an unjust God, they have none other to blame but their own mind which has been set in the wrong direction. People who do not get what they desire and suffer from material lack, often entertain the faulty notion that wealth is evil. It is not money or possessions that are evil or undesirable per se, but attachment towards them. We must learn to live in the world but not be attached to it. It is attachment that binds, not objects or money or land. There is nothing great or holy or noble in being a weak victim of circumstance, perpetually cursing a seemingly cruel fate for being in a state of perpetual want.

Being in a state of Divine grace of love is being in a state of abundance. Often we are paralyzed by fear of our imagined limitations. We tend to sink into despair and do not make any significant effort to change situations and circumstances. Or else, we clutch hard onto whatever we have lest it be lost. This creates blocks in us. We have to understand here that life is a flow. So is wealth. Getting and giving money is merely an exchange of energy.

Shakti Gwain in her book, 'Living in the Light' says that money is a symbol of our creative energy. According to her "Money is a reflection of the energy moving through our channel. The more we learn to operate in the world based on trust in our Intuition, the stronger will our channel be and the more money we will have."

To attract money or any other form of wealth to yourself, you can practise the following affirmation. Find a comfortable time and a place where you are unlikely to be disturbed. Affirmations are always best done with a calm and tranquil mind, so it is helpful if you relax mind and body by meditate for a few minutes before commencing your practice.

Take a few deep, slow breaths, and slip into a state of relaxation. Say to yourself: "I am attracting all the money I need and want. It is coming to me through Existence in an easy, effortless flow. I am in touch with the source of abundance." You may also use the above affirmation by replacing money with any other form of wealth such as land, jewellery, or whatever else it may be that you want. Do this regularly and move into your daily affairs in that frame of mind.

Choose material affirmations if you wish, but remember that the real fountainhead is in seeking spiritual progress and development. Having started on that, you will soon naturally start on receiving all that you ever will need. Desires will always remain. They are the pith of existence. Work to focus on your needs alone, and the wants will take care of themselves. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all the rest shall be yours."
