Prosperity's 12 Affirmations

In keeping with this month’s focus on Prosperity’s 2nd Affirmation, “I Create Mental Images of Prosperity, Abundance and Wealth”, I want to discuss ‘Visualization’ and ‘Visioning’. Several years ago when I began to articulate Prosperity’s 12 Affirmations; without realizing it, I was looking at the 2nd affirmation from the perspective of visualization. In fact, I still use the affirmation to bring forth images of things and circumstances I desire or prefer. However, over the last year, I am experiencing a new and profound relationship with the 2nd affirmation. This relationship is centered in the process of visioning, distinct from visualization. When I approach the use of the affirmation from the perspective of visioning, I enter a state of surrender and receptivity to the images and stirrings coming forth my Higher Consciousness or God-Self. In effect I ask God to reveal to me images, insights and guidance which are of my Highest Good and I wait for images and intuitive nudges to coalesce in my consciousness and feeling nature. By doing this regularly, clear images and guidance come to me which are richer and more fulfilling than many of my visualizations of past desires.  My friend and Spiritual Marketing Teacher, Rai Jordan (http://www.highervisioncenter.com) has often mentioned how her personal and business life have been blessed with unexpected success since she chose to make visioning a key part of her life. This year I have made a commitment to myself and the people in my consciousness community to explore visioning in depth. As a result I plan to conduct monthly visioning calls.

If you would like to experience the visioning process, join us on a visioning call February 28, 2010 at 6:00 PM EST (3PM PST) by registering at the following link: http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/IH3OJU5KNSXSLUAJ

I look forward to connecting with you on the call and visioning with you throughout the year.

I was recently talking with a very good friend when one of us mentioned, “I haven’t daydreamed since I was a fairly young child”. We both realized that as we progressed in school as children, not only were we not encouraged to daydream, often we were forbidden to daydream. I realized then that in some ways that devalued my tendency to imagine the future I really wanted. I now realize that placing regular attention on Prosperity’s 2nd Affirmation is a good way to systematically practice visualization and experiment with the idea that we expand our experience of ideas upon which we place our attention. Here is an amplified version of Prosperity’s 2nd Affirmation which adds the creative power of the I AM consciousness, “I am receptive to God’s Vision of my success; I create mental images of prosperity, abundance and wealth resonant with God’s Vision of my Highest Good”.

This month I plan to explore more concerning Prosperity’s 2nd Affirmation. I hope you choose to make this exploration with me.

Diane Harmony’s book and 8 week course 5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life has changed lives and helped hundreds if not thousands of people transform their relationship with money and well being. To keep the 5 GIFTS working in your life and to remember to give and receive the GIFTS everyday, you can start by considering and affirming the GIFTS of GRATITUDE and INTENTION.

Affirm Gratitude: I am grateful for my life and I take whatever time I need to find something for which to be grateful in every circumstance. Gratitude is an attitude and state of mind. You can choose to be grateful in virtually any situation. Consider the similarities and distinctions among gratitude, appreciation and thanksgiving.

Affirm Intention: I am Intentional. I set and manifest intentions as a part of God’s promises to humanity. Intentionality is a powerful exercise of the will which does not require any stressful effort when approached from a spiritual perspective. Experiment with setting and manifesting intentions.

I am grateful that that each time I affirm Prosperity’s 1st Affirmation, I am reminded that regardless of outer appearances, I know that God is providing for my well being. I also realize that as I create visions and images of God’s blessings manifesting in my life and experience, I am practicing Prosperity’s 2nd Affirmation and I am being intentional.

Why not intend to find 5 things for which to be grateful today?

Let’s see how we could play the Wouldn’t It Be Nice Game using Prosperity’s 2^nd Affirmation, “I create images of prosperity, abundance and wealth”. Previously I used the example of listing each Wouldn’t It Be Nice (WIBN) question. Today I think I’ll you a paragraph format instead of a list format.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the only images I created prospered everyone with whom I communicated? Wouldn’t it be nice if I could look at what seems like a disaster and create an image of potential and possibility. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could perfectly reproduce the perfect images of perfection in my mind and perfectly project the images into the physical world?  Wouldn’t it be nice if every image I create were in integrity with the Image of God in which we are made? Wouldn’t it be nice if my image of my prospering community fit in with the emerging image of our prospering nation? Wouldn’t it be nice if the diverse economic and political images projected in the U. S. morphed into a workable vision of abundance and prosperity?

What WIBN questions can you list in the comments? You may be surprised at the high quality images you will create as you play the game. Each mental image you create has the possibility of an image that could manifest as your experience. Wouldn’t it be nice if you created an image of the new house you will be living in by the end of 2009? Wouldn’t it be nice if the image of your reconciliation with your estranged brother or sister became a reality by July 4^th 2009? Wouldn’t it be nice if you just had fun relaxing while you allowed your powerful imagination to create the circumstances you would love to experience?

Play the game, leave your comments for the rest of us to share the abundance of your imagination!

Imagination plays an important role in each of Prosperity’s 12 Affirmations. In fact a person’s imagination profoundly affects his or her quality of life. For the most part we experience what we imagine. And we imagine much more than our conscious thinking would have us believe. It is for this reason that I think the regular practice of Prosperity’s 2nd Affirmation is vitally important. When we repeat and seek to internalize the essence of this affirmation, "I Only Create Images of Prosperity, Abundance and Wealth", we are setting a conscious intention regarding how we are using our image creating faculty.  As we practice the 2nd affirmation, we will begin to notice more opportunities which line up with the things and experiences we desire. We begin to feel more a part of Life and less like we have to contend with Life to get what we need and want. In formulating clear images of how we feel and behave when our dreams are fulfilled, our desires realized and our needs are met, we see ourselves involved in activities and with people having a powerfully positive impact on their lives and their communities.  Effortlessly we are drawn into circumstances that enrich and enliven us. Over the next 7 days, each day consciously see yourself smiling, looking as though your are enjoying life. See yourself using the things you desire but are not yet part of your physical reality. See yourself making a difference and interacting with people with similar interests working harmoniously with you. Let your imagination run wild with images that make you feel good.  Allow every good idea that springs into your mind the opportunity to conjure powerful images of prosperity and well being for you and everyone you influence. Your ideas are the opportunities knocking on the door of your imagination.

Today I am invoking the power of Prosperity’s 2nd, 3rd and 12th Affirmations to create and empower an expansive vision of forgiveness.

Through my power of imagination and the power of my spoken word, I endeavor to love my neighbor as myself.

I am creating the possibility that people in the United States choose the life affirming energy of forgiveness instead of one of its life threatening alternatives. Can you imagine living in a nation where, for most people, the response to pain or perceived attack is forgiveness?

Can you imagine living in a community where people choose to channel their anger constructively instead of resorting to violence, vandalism or other criminal or antisocial activity? I believe that you can imagine a society where the energy of forgiveness is so pervasive that people are more engaged in the activities that build community, promote cooperation and begin solving the most critical problems of our planet.

I believe that you have the capacity to create your version of this vision and to hold it over time. You only need to state your intention to do so and be willing to act on your intention.

I Only Create Images of Prosperity, Abundance and Wealth

Prosperity’s 2^nd Affirmation

Operative Faculty – Imagination

Prosperity Commandment – Two

You shall make no mental images of lack.

Mosaic Commandment

Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

Commentary

As human beings we are wired to create mental “images”. When I use the term image in this context I have an expansive concept of image that includes engagement of all of the physical senses as well as emotional senses such as joy, appreciation, hopefulness and enthusiasm. According to the Revealing Word an image is “A mental representation of anything not actually present in the senses” (Webster). Everything humans create is first created as a mental image before it is formed in manifest three dimensional forms. We form pictures in mind using the faculty of imagination. Often we may think of imagination as just a picturing process. However, it can be much more; it is actually a powerful faculty of creation.
