The Path of Least Resistance to Prosperity

By Oc Remillard

Prosperity in all things is the natural, default setting of the Universe. Yes, God or whatever you wish to call the Universal Spirit would love to see a Ferrari in every driveway and It would have no trouble coming up with them. The problem is, we are wired deep down inside to repel the prospect of abundance.

It may seem rude and evil to think that the Universal Spirit obeys our commands but give it some thought. What if it was true? Could it be said that the condition of your present life reflects the conditions of your thoughts? Not till recently have researchers found that our subconscious is where all the creative action is and it is rotten with old, negative programming, most of which does not serve us well.

The hard thing to accept is that I am the author of my problems. The part of me that I am conscious of wants and sees need. The subconscious, powerful part of me keeps reminding the source that I am not worthy, that I am bad, that if I get something, someone else will have to do without. So, I do without.

As a society, we are torn between what the ads tell us we need to be acceptable, sexy, successful and all that and the actuality of our lives. If I create my reality, what about the wars and other horrors on the news? Those arent mine.

Your bank balance is a poor indicator of your personal happiness, isnt it? Whether you are rich or poor or in between, there is a great feeling of lack in most of us.

Yes, you are not alone. Most people would give a lot to be in someone elses shoes. The grass truly does seem greener.

The idea that we are creators of our reality is as old as mankind yet few people have paid much heed to it. It is always easier to blame fate or our sins for our lack of success. It takes a certain boldness to admit, if we are creators, that we created what we are living and that can rattle the nerves.

Perhaps the hardest thing I had to wrap my head around was the fact that this process of creation can work against you. If I go to a mall on a no limit-shopping spree and order a large diamond, I will get a large diamond. If my mind orders a toilet seat, it'll get that instead. I shouldn't be asking "What's with the toilet seat when I have a diamond mentality?"

If you observe closely, you will see that your thoughts attract things like them like moths attracted to a bright light. This occurs every time. It is a rule of nature.

The new age of business seems to be upon us. Prosperity seems to be defined by how much junk we can accumulate. Profit at all costs was the order of the day. Enron, Iraq and famines. The list of calamities seems endless. Now, most investments, the result of long, grinding hours of working and saving are worth a fraction of what they were a year ago.

As long as I rely on others for my prosperity, I will be at the mercy of whatever whim the world takes. Once I have mastered the art of creation in my life, nothing can stand in the way of my success and happiness.
