Money is not real.

Money is merely legal tender, a form of exchange. We use it to exchange value. It represents value.

Money is the "body" of value. It is the physical representation of value that rises and falls in ourselves, within us. Not within "things" outside of us, but within us. For without us, what can the value of a thing, such as a car, be to us? Nothing, at least not to us. In other words, it is we, the observers, that place value in things, but this value is really value in us - we give value to the material things. The material things have no "money" value in themselves - we give that to them. So, money is the external physical representation of a particular section of our internal value, within us, within you. That is why a house or a block of shares valued at $1 million today can fall to a valuation of half a million dollars tomorrow when fear is introduced into the hearts of those involved. The fear kills a portion of the internal values of the participants and that is reflected by the paper money, the "body" of value.

Here is something else: physical paper money does not e ven represent money in full. It cannot reasonably do that. By some estimates (and this varies from nation to nation), only as little as 4% of the money in the banks exists as paper cash. Imagine how much cotton, linen, pulp, and metal the world would need so as to make all the money everyone has in his or her bank accounts. Imagine how much space it would take to store all this money in paper form. If you were to stack only one million US$1 bills, it would weigh one ton and be 361 ft high. Neither does mone y exist as gold reserves any more. This is for exactly the same reason - we ran out of the reasonable ability to keep a gold standard in the 1970s.

So what does it exist as, the money that we are always talking about? Well, it is one massive illusion. It is all just numbers written on paper and computer storage devices, and assigned to people and entities such as companies and investments, or more accurately, further records! To put it in another way, for every $100 or its equivalent in any other currency, only about $4 exists as printed-paper notes or coins, while the remaining $96 exists as numbers written on papers and computers in banks and businesses and other entities. The only reason this system does not collapse is that we all believe in it. The last time people stopped believing in it in a large enough extent was just before the Depression when large numbers of people rushed to their banks to withdraw their money and found that they could not all get it. This is not what caused the Great Depression, but it in a large way accelerated it.

So, money is not real - something else is. Money is just the shadow of that other something. The first step to wealth is to know what money really is, or more accurately, what it represents. Learn not to look at the money most of the time. As you will soon see, it is very rare in a day that you should ever look at money as you know it today - the cash, the bank accounts, the costs, etc. This is merely the shadow and not the real thing. Looking at the shadow, the p hysical money, as you will soon see, is most of the time very unwise and unhealthy for you and your finances.

Look, instead, at the value within you and within people, and the flowing and exchanging of this value between people. Our internal value, is what creates money. Money is the shadow of our internal value. Develop this internal value in yourself and in others and your external money and wealth will correspondingly rise automatically, without fail.

Know this however: Money represents an aspect of a person"s internal value, but that does not mean that it represents a person"s entire internal value. That is very important. It is not about self-worth. Money only represents an aspect of that internal value that pertains to wealth. You cannot therefore say that a wealthy person has a higher self-worth and value than a poor person, but you can correctly say that in matters that relate and pertain to money, the wealthy person has a higher internal value in that aspect of value or that the person chooses to exercise a higher proportion of this internal value. This section of internal value that reflects on the outside as money, when exercised, is called Wealth Consciousness. It is available to all people equally and can be developed by and within all people equa lly. Like everything else that is important to our being alive, such as air, wealth consciousness is free to all. But you can choose to develop it or not develop it, or to exercise it or not. At any time, you can change your choice, and nothing outside of you can stop you.

You require nothing outside of yourself to increase your wealth consciousness, and therefore your money. All you need is within you right now. You may have forgotten it, but it is right there. You will now remember it. And the first step to that is to always remember that money is not real; it is the shadow of something else.

And here is another secret: Wealth consciousness is simply the expansion of your consciousness and awareness into the wealthy parts of your Self. That is why all that you need to increase your wealth consciousness is within you already. You are already wealthy, but you have been taught to choose to not experience your wealth. This insight changes everything. Like the wealthy people, you can now know how to and choose to start experiencing the wealthy you.

You have more wealth capability within you than you can possibly experience in a lifetime. You need not worry that you have reached your limit of becoming wealthy in any way or because of any condition. Neither do you need to know how to convert wealth consciousness into paper cash money - as you will see, it will happen automatically. All you need to do is expand your wealth consciousness and exercise it, act on it, be it, and the situations and opportunities for the equivalent conversion into cash money will present themselves automatically to you. None of the extremely wealthy people today could have, at the time when they were not wealthy, possibly predicted and planned the exact sequence of events that would lead to their immense wealth. They most probably had a set of goals and a plan, but any one of them will tell you that they met countless "coincidences" and opportunities that "joined the dots" for them in ways they could never have predicted. Their goals were their own doing, but the paths that led to them coming into being, and exceeding them, were amazingly intelligent yet unforeseen. You shall now see how to make them happen in your life - you may not be able to predict their sequence, but you can certainly make these "fortunate coincidences" happen to you every day of your life.

By the way, it is not only paper money that is not real. A lot of the things around you that you hold so real are really not real at all either. You are about to embark on a beautiful, empowering and liberating journey that will show you exactly what your world is in a way that you have never looked at it before. It is a journey that will open your eyes and free your wings. You are about to look "under the hood" of the Life, you are about to learn how to customize your world to your liking.

You are about to attain Wealth Consciousness. Once you do, avoiding success and wealth will become very difficult. Yes, you read that correctly. Once you have wealth consciousness, it will be very difficult for you to not have success and wealth. Success and wealth will follow you automatically wherever you go. You will not need to concern yourself with their quest, yet they will find you. You will be free to experience other aspects of life that you may not have even dreamt of before, dimensions of Self and Life that are truly amazing. The same goes with happiness.

Even with as little as we know about the brain, we marvel at its complexity. The countless miles of nerves, the infinite connections, the delicate chemistry, the role of genetics, the specialized compartments and functions are only openers.We know we have just begun to understand --if we can even use that word--how the brain fits into the whole scheme of creation.

One day biologists and psychologists will discover the brain is only one piece of a greater marvel. The brain will be considered akin to a large transformer in a power substation where energy arrives to be transformed into useful current.

In similar fashion, the brain is connected to a source of infinite intelligence, and it transforms it into useful knowledge. Intelligence is an aspect of energy. It is ordered, specific, and carries codes or information that can be read and understood by the brain.

This intelligence permeates all of creation. There is no way to escape it. Because we are part of creation, of nature, we wallow in that sea of intelligence. This is the same intelligence that comes up with the infinite variety of DNA and the life forms it produces. It is the same intelligence that keeps planets in perfect order, brings about seasons, blends earth, air, fire, and water, and struggles to preserve the balance of nature. Nothing is not touched by this intelligence because nothing is not from this intelligence.

Catch that last sentence: nothing is not touched by this intelligence because nothing is not from this intelligence. Intelligence has made everything. Everything is from intelligence. Whatever appears in creation is really just a product of intelligence. Everything came from the same intelligence.

You are that intelligence.You were created by it--whether at birth, or inception, or eons ago is immaterial. You are now created, and you have retained the intelligence that created you.

That is key. By retaining the intelligence that created you, you retain its qualities, its powers, and its properties. All the intelligence of the cosmos is retained in you. That is why you can develop techniques to learn anything you need to know. That is why your brain responds and gives you "Yes" and "No" signals to tap into that intelligence.

It is the need to know that governs. But what do you need to know? You need to know your role in preserving order, how to evolve with the natural scheme of things, how to develop your innate qualities, and how to get in touch with your nature. For these purposes you can be all-knowing. Humankind forgot long ago these were the ultimate purposes of our precious lives. Since our link to infinite intelligence is strictly for advancing those ultimate purposes, the link was not used and withered. Instead, we embarked on power trips, on selfish hoarding, on wars, and on anger.

We lost touch with the guiding light of intelligence. Without the guide, we lost direction. Now life is a struggle. Poverty flourishes. Sickness ensues. Unfairness is everywhere.

When we lost touch with our innate intelligence, we lost our abundance, money, and the multifarious forms of wealth. That is where most of us are now.We are in a vast lake of water, yet dying from thirst. We are floating in intelligence that can guide us to our birthright of wealth. Whether or not we see that, accept it, and allow it to become part of our life is up to each of us individually.We each have free-will to accept or reject.

You may not understand fully the mechanics of how cosmic intelligence fits into our lives, how we were created by it, how it remains a part of us, or how we accept or reject its properties. It isn't important that you do. Nevertheless, you have experienced your connection to it with your "Yes" and "No" signals.
When you asked for the "Yes", then the "No" signal, you were essentially asking to be connected to that intelligence. That is the first step. The phone lines are in. Now it is time to learn how to use the line. Incidentally, the phone is on a party line. You do not have exclusive use of the line. Everyone else has the very same right. That's important for you to keep in mind as this knowledge unfolds. Some people tend to feel better, or more developed, or special when these techniques are learned. If those thoughts start to creep in, let them go. You are indeed unique and special. However, everyone else has the same access to the same intelligence of the cosmos that you have.

We all want money, Right? Well, yes and no. You may indeed think you want money, but there could be some deep-seated fear about getting it. Maybe you are afraid your friends will think you're too uppity and leave you. Maybe you're afraid to manage it--all those investment decisions. Maybe you're afraid you'll loose your ambition, or that your personality will change.Maybe you're afraid money will make it impossible to continue your career.

If you don't experience abundance, you can be certain you have some deep fear about having money. It represents pain to you. I realize that is not what you think you think. Consciously you want money and you can see all the benefits it could bring. Nevertheless, if you don't now experience abundance, you have some deep-seated fear that you need to come to grips with.

Subconscious thoughts can be a real thorn in each of our lives. They lie below the surface and scream at us. We aren't able to hear them clearly, but some part of our brain does.Whenever the brain is about to feed us a thought on what to do next, it may hear one of these subconscious thoughts.

Let us say you are approached by a friend to go into a partnership to make art posters. It sounds like minimal risk, a good return, little capital requirements, and even fun.You're about to yell "Yes"when the brain hears "I think I'd be happier without money; money is the root of all evil; it is easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle than enter the gates of heaven." So, you're fed a feeling of fear by your brain, and you pass up the opportunity to make the investment. You don't know why, and you may never know. You just can't.

These subconscious thoughts can torpedo each and every safe and clear chance to make money. They do, and they will. They will torpedo as long as they are there. I am not saying anything new. Psychologists have known for decades the role our subconscious plays. All kinds of therapies have been developed to get down there, see them, tear them out, relive the experience that put them there, and replace them. Each of these therapies has its place, and certainly, each has contributed to our understanding about the role of our subconscious beliefs. Now you're going to experience a very easy technique that can revolutionize all approaches for dealing with the subconscious.

You are going to ask that all-knowing intelligence within you what beliefs you have that interfere with making money. Then you're going to erase that belief and replace it with a more appropriate one. This is the first task of your "Yes" and "No" signals. It will work because this is knowledge you need to know to accomplish your ultimate purposes.

The six step procedure is called The Subconscious Cleansing.

Memorize the steps before beginning.

Step One is ten minutes of The Basic Practice focusing on your money rhythm.

In Step Two think, "Give me a subconscious belief I have that interferes with making money." Listen for the answer. It will appear in your mind as any other thought. When you have it, ask, "Do I have a false belief that (then state it)?"

If your "Yes" and "No" signals verify the false belief, write it down in your journal, labeled "False". That is Step Three.

In Step Four close your eyes again and get settled down. Then ask, "What is the correct belief?" Use the same procedure to find out and verify the correct belief.When you have it, write it in your journal next to the false belief, and label it "Truth".

Step Five is repeating the process for about ten minutes. Take a couple of minutes and come out slowly to avoid roughness.

Repeat The Subconscious Cleansing twice a day for the next few days until you're certain you've discovered all of the false beliefs and corrected them.

This is an exercise you'll need to repeat periodically the rest of your life. New levels of beliefs surface to be cleansed, and false beliefs find their way in. Stay on top of it. Make certain you always have in your subconscious mind beliefs that support wealth.

You can correct your beliefs easily because you are in charge of your subconscious mind. It is your servant. You place beliefs into your subconscious because you think they are very important and true. You want them to override whatever else you think, without rethinking them each time. That is why you program them as automatic thinking. It is quite an efficient system as long as the beliefs are correct and serve you well.

Since you put the beliefs in the subconscious mind, you can change them. Changing the subconscious is like changing any computer: erase the old, put in the new. You do this with your intention. It is just a matter of intending.What you intend to believe is what will appear in the subconscious mind.

To be certain that your intention is perfectly clear, create a kind of ceremony to destroy the false belief. This is Step Six. Any ceremony that seems most fun and meaningful is fine. Keep in mind you are showing your brain what is your intention. I write the false belief on a piece of paper, then burn it. Put on your creative hat and come up with something very special just for you.

After you have destroyed the old belief, do something similar for the correct belief--the Truth--to exalt it. Some people write it down and place it on the bathroom mirror or the refrigerator. Others put it in a bible or other holy book. Writing it in your journal may be enough. Whatever you do is just to signify your intention.

There you have it. In one big swoop you can discover a false belief that limits money in your life. In another swoop you can correct the belief with Truth.
This is the first concrete step toward making money. More importantly, this is the first step in using the intelligence you are--the intelligence of the cosmos. You are created to live a life of abundance, and the intelligence behind all of creation is there to assist. Go for it.

THE SUBCONSCIOUS CLEANSING

STEP ONE: Ten minutes of The Basic Practice of focusing on the money rhythm.

STEP TWO: Think, "Give me a subconscious belief I have that interferes with making money." Listen for the answer. It will appear in your mind as any other thought. When you have it, ask, "Do I have a false belief that (then state it)?" Use your "Yes" and "No" signals to help receive the answer.

STEP THREE: Write down the false belief in your journal, labeling it "False."

STEP FOUR: Close your eyes again and get settled down. Then ask "What is the correct belief?" Use the same procedure to find out and verify the correct belief.Write it down in your journal next to the false belief, and label it "Truth."

STEP FIVE: Repeat the procedure for ten minutes. Then take another few minutes to come out slowly.

STEP SIX: Devise a ceremony to emphasize your intention to destroy the false belief and to replace it with a correct belief--the Truth.
