Law of Attraction - Prosperity Fundamentals #5
By Sonia Miller | October 1, 2008
In order to allow more prosperity into your experience you must understand and cultivate an consciousness of spiritual entitlement. When I read about this in Eric Butterworth’s book, Spiritual Economics, the wheels started turning in my head.
Hmmm… spiritual entitlement. This is more than deservedness. One one feels entitled, one simple expects things to be a certain way. There is no questioning. There is no justification. There is no doubt. There is no need to attempt to convince yourself of your worthiness because your divine right simply is.
Now, in order for you to understand and cultivate spiritual entitlement, you may need to sort through limiting beliefs associated with the term. Sometimes the word entitlement carries a negative connotation. One of privilege, or arrogance, or ego or injustice. Other times entitlement connotes basic rights such as basic human legal rights. However, Butterworth explains:
"… the basis of entitlement is the startling assertion: The Universe owes you a living! Yes, we are saying owes you a living. Note: We are not saying that the world owes you a living. Actually the world owes you nothing. You are a creative expression of the Universe, with the responsibility to let your light shine. Thus you owe the world a life. But in all the many ways in which you apply yourself in the world, the Universe owes you complete support."
And…
"Each of us is an individualized expression of the creative process, no matter how circumstances have obscured the reality. The great need is to help us to know this for ourselves, to claim our own "entitlement" from within. When persons in poverty begin to know, really know, that they are a center within an affluent Universe, then in ways of personal motivation, ingenuity, guidance, and the unfoldment of opportunities, the whole Universe will soon be rushing, streaming, pouring into them from all sides."
In other words each and everyone of is is a vortex through which Divine substance flows. The sense of entitlement comes from simply knowing that this is who your are. That this is your true nature. You don’t have to earn abundance. You ARE abundance. Not a stagnant pool of it, but an eternal fountain. And the only thing that stops or inhibits the flow is what you BELIEVE about yourself and the nature of the Universe.
Could you consider the possibility that you are channel through which infinite abundance flows. And you are entitled to this flow of abundance because who you really are is a child of the Universe?

Law of Attraction - Prosperity Fundamentals #4
By Sonia Miller | September 29, 2008
In addition to understanding the concept of Oneness, one must grasp the concept of Infinite Supply. In a world where we are taught that there is only so much to go around, where for me to win you must lose, where we have evidence of ‘not enough’ at every turn… the idea of infinite supply can be quite a stretch. And yet, it is the natural state of life - ALL of our lives. This fundamental principle is one that each seeker must understand in order to open up to the experience of prosperity.
Eric Butterworth writes:
"…in the spiritual realm, there can be no competition, nor the need for it. People have their own pipeline to the universal good, and if they are true to themselves and keep centered in God-consciousness, their own will surely come without strain or struggle. When you breath all the air you need, you can never deprive anyone else of all the air each person needs to breathe. There is always enough with plenty to spare because all the substance is present in its entirety at every point. Thus if you sense that another person is straining to get ahead of you, be sure you do not lower yourself to that person’s fear vibration. Affirm for him or her: I bless you with the awareness that you are one with your own personal flow of the Universe in which there is legitimate royal abundance for every living creature."
In this day and age, especially with the recent events on Wall Street, it is imperative that people turn their attention AWAY from message of doom, gloom and scarcity and redirect their attention toward the higher truth of infinite abundance. I’m not saying it is easy, but I am saying you have a choice about what you experience in your reality. You may not be able to change what is happening in the world, but you can change your experience of it. And if each person takes responsibility for adjusting their own relationship to our physical reality, we have the power to change that reality, one perception at a time.
I recently made available a teleclass recording to help those who need help in "not reacting" to external conditions AND activating their prosperity vibration no matter what is happening in the world. For more info, CLICK HERE.

Law of Attraction - Help for Dealing with Wall Street Panic
By Sonia Miller | September 21, 2008
With the recent events on Wall Street, I found myself getting sucked into the “doom and gloom” economic forecasts strewn all over the media. Like many, I found my mind running away with itself. Even though I know the higher truth of infinite abundance, I felt fear starting to infect my sense of peace and well-being.
As conscious co-creators we simply can’t indulge in letting fear take over. It hi-jacks our intentions to experience abundance on an individual level, as well as on a global scale.
So, I pumped up the volume on my spiritual practice and very quickly reconnected with my well-being.
In light of this and conversations with clients who are struggling with their own fears, I was reminded of a tele-class I taught this past year. One of my clients said, “Sonia, I’ve been listening to that class over and over again to keep me on course. It occurred to me that this could be very helpful to others. And so, I’ve decided to make it available to everyone who wants support and inspiration at this time.
This 33 minute audio recording will teach you…
- how it is that your physical world has NO BEARING on your experience of abundance and well-being,
- tools for neutralizing your reactions to external things (relationships, situations, the world…) so that you can feel calmer,
- why trying to control external circumstances only makes things worse,
- techniques for adjusting our inner world so that you can create what you really want, even when things seemingly go wrong in your life, and
- how managing your own mind-set is the only hope for our country and the world at large.
TO PURCHASE MP3 RECORDING.
TO LISTEN TO A 6 MINUTE EXCERPT CLICK BELOW.
You have a choice about your experience NO MATTER WHAT is going on in the world. I hope you’ll let me help you to stay aligned with who you really are!

Law of Attraction - Prosperity Fundamentals #3
By Sonia Miller | September 17, 2008
Visualization is one of the most powerful manifestation tools there are, IF you do it correctly. However, there are some common distortions that make visualization ineffective. These misunderstandings include the following:
1) The Mental vs. Emotional Mistake - Visualization is a mental exercise. It’s all about seeing what you want in your mind’s eye. Correction - Visualization is much more about the emotional energy you tap into. By "pretending" to feel the way you’d feel in your dream fulfilled, you magnetize and bring life to your dream.
2) The Attraction vs. Allowing Mistake - The idea that your dream is "out there," separate from you, and that you must attract it to you is the reason many seekers approach their dreams from a chasing or grasping point of you. Visualizing from feeling of separation only serves to keep your dreams separate from you. Correction - When you visualize about dream as if you are already one with it, as if it already exists, then you allow your desire into your experience.
3) The Asking vs. Becoming Mistake - We visualize our intention as a way of continuing to ask the Universe for it until it arrives. Correction - Once you ask, it is immediately given in energetic form. You may not see it, but it already exists. This is crucial to understand. The only reason you aren’t experiencing it yet in your physical reality is because you are still expanding into the new experience. Your reason for visualizing is not to keep asking, but to keep practicing being what we have already become. This allows your physical experience and your energetic manifestation to join as one.
4) The Having vs. Being Mistake - We often visualize what we want to have. We approach our dreams as if they are something to capture or accumulate. Why would you have to capture something that you already have? This hoarding mentality is based in scarcity thinking. Scarcity breeds more scarcity. Correction - We do indeed already have everything that we could ever desire. It isn’t even something we have. It is who we are. We are individualized expressions of the Infinite, which is just that - infinite (i.e. all sufficiency of supply, wholeness, love, abundance, well-being…) All that we desire actually flows from us. It does not come from outside of us to fill a void. When we visualize the infinite flow of abundance that we are, then we allow that experience into our lives.
Visualizing Oneness with Infinite Flow
Since our minds can be our greatest enemies - defaulting to a mind-set of wanting and grasping - the most effective visualizations are those that have us tap into an experience of oneness and flow. However, if we are already feeling separate from that which we desire, it can be very difficult to connect with what oneness and flow would look or feel like. As an antidote consider the qualities and characteristics of a beautiful, large fountain; allowing the imagery to become a metaphor for your true nature as an individualized expression of Source Energy.
The Fountain Visualization
Imagine a beautiful fountain gushing crystal clear water high into the air. There is so much water flowing through the fountain that there is always more than enough. The overflow is caught in an enormous basin. This abundance of water is life giving. It brings joy to others. Birds drink from
it, children play in it, teens rendezvous there, couples kiss by it, elders rest near it. People are inspired to dream and wish, making offering of flowers and coins. It is a gathering place.
IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE THAT FOUNTAIN
- The water represents Universal Life Force, the divine substance of all that is: love, well-being, joy, freedom, peace, money, creativity. (i.e. This Universal Life Force flows from and through you.)
- The water is eternally flowing - forever. It comes from within. The supply is endless. There is more than enough. (i.e. Abundant supply comes from within YOU.)
- The fountain gives to others. It blesses others and the blessings come back multiplied - as a place where others connect and belong, and as a receptacle of others’ abundance of money, love and joy. All that the fountain receives allows it to become an even more beautiful, generous, abundant fountain. (i.e. YOU give your abundance to others. As you give freely, all that you give comes back to you multiplied.)
- The basin represents overflowing abundance- more than you could ever need. Surplus. (i.e. When you do not try to capture or hoard abundance, you always have more than you need. You enjoy extra reserves of energy, money, time, and support. These reserves are for you to play with, to give, and draw to you even more abundance.)
- Sometimes the water evaporates and there is less in the basin. Sometimes it rains and the basin overflows. Yet no matter what, the water flows eternally. (i.e. Sometimes you get tired and your energy depletes. Sometimes your savings account is utilized and your funds diminish, but if you trust in the natural flow, you know that your nature is abundance and you will always naturally return to that experience.)
Using the Fountain Visualization
The Fountain Visualization can be used in two ways: a) as a contemplation tool, and b) as a manifestation tool.
As a contemplation tool, allow yourself to simply read over it, think about it, and sit with it. Letting the ideas of oneness and flow seep into your awareness. As you digest the ideas inherent in this imagery, you will begin to see yourself and your life in expanded ways.
As a manifestation tool, practice visualizing yourself as this fountain at least once per day. Experiment with seeing it and feeling it. Have fun with it. There is no right or wrong way of doing the visualization. Simply putting your attention on the ideas will magnetize to you the understanding and the experience of oneness and flow which you seek. Eventually the visualization could evolve into a simple yet potent affirmation, "I am an opulent, eternally flowing fountain of divine substance!"
Try it for 40 days, everyday and see what happens!

Law of Attraction - The Best Technique for Manifesting
By Sonia Miller | September 15, 2008
Here’s another great question from one of my Law of Attraction Success Circle members. It was posted on our group forum and I wanted to put it out here.
Q:
I have some confusion around process for manifesting. Basically, there seem to be three different ways for the process.
1. You review/feel morning and evening, and anytime during the day what you would like to manifest. And you continue to do this to let the universe know that you still want this.
2. You ‘put out there’ what you want only once - putting it more than once is basically telling the universe that you don’t trust it to manifest for you.
3. Write it down on a piece of paper, read it out loud three consecutive days, then burn it. (The best time being three days before the new moon). Repeat it when the manifestation is not forthcoming.
Does anyone have some clarity on this?
A:
Thanks for the great question. This is actually one of my favorite topics because this type of question comes up a lot for people. And it is an important issue to understand.
The bottom line is this:
The Technique (or as you said "process") is NOT what generates a manifestation. The techniques are simply TOOLS to help you reach the necessary levels of consciousness that are optimum for allowing into your life what you want.
What these tools have in common are:
1) Focus on what you want.
2) Practice being a vibrational match for it by doing things like visualization and affirmations.
3) And release it, along with any resistance that comes along the way, whether it is your attachment to the goal, your limiting beliefs, or your fears.
So, the process doesn’t really matter. The question is what process or techniques help you to elevate your consciousness such that you are able to be in the most receptive place possible once you’ve set forth your intention.
The more important your dream is, the more attached you are to it, the more you have to keep practicing letting go and releasing resistance. This is why even though people say, "Ask only once." there is often a need or desire to "do more" because the different forms of resistance are popping up.
The asking does indeed only need to happen once. But the techniques that ARE often necessary on more of an ongoing basis, are techniques that help us let go, releast attachment and release resistance.
Hope this helps.
Blessings,
Sonia

Law of Attraction - Prosperity Fundamentals #2 (cont’d)
By Sonia Miller | September 12, 2008
Last post I wrote about the necessity of really getting the concept of ONENESS. That post was inspired by a passage in Eric Butterworth’s book, Spiritual Economics. Chew on the following excerpt as a way of going deeper with this necessary understanding;
"We talk of faith that God will provide, but what do we mean? …let us be clear on one thing: Faith doesn’t influence God "out there" to send riches to fill our needs "down here." Faith is the spiritual capacity by which we may form and shape this ever-present basic element of Spirit-substance. …Jesus said, "In the world you have tribulation; but… I have overcome the world" (Jn. 16:33). He was implying that we live in two realms, not in succession, but concurrently. In other words, we live in the world of tribulation, where we experience health and sickness, abundance and lack, joy and sadness. But at the same time we also live in the Universe, the realm of the constancy and stability of a basic substance that stands beneath every human experience. Thus it can be said (and should be) that there is an Allness within every illness, an All-Sufficiency within every appearance of lack, and the "joy of the Lord" within every moment of sorrow."
What does this all mean? From a metaphysical perspective it means that you must be willing to see life beyond your five senses. It means that you must be open to perceiving yourself, your world, and the Universe from a broader perspective. We are multi-dimensional beings. Yes, we are having a human experience, but we are so much larger than that. And when you turn your attention away from the worldly conditions that grab your attention and redirect your focus toward the higher truth (see previous post) you set yourself free!

Law of Attraction - Prosperity Fundamentals #2
By Sonia Miller | September 9, 2008
I have written many times about the concept of ONENESS. Until a metaphysical seeker begins to explore what this truly means, until one is willing to consider the possibilities inherent in the concept of ONENESS - until these shifts occur, it is impossible to activate the vibration, and allow the experience, of infinite abundance. This is because there are fundamentally two ways of thinking. One way is the illusion and the other is truth. If you live in the illusion, you will forever perceive yourself to be a victim of external circumstances. If you live in truth you will forever have access to infinite possibilities.
THE ILLUSION
The supply of everything you desire (money, health, well-being, freedom, joy, power etc.) is EXTERNAL. In other words, you are SEPERATE from all that you desires. As long as you believe you are separate, as long as you "emit this vibration" into the Universe, you will continue to "attract" the experience of being separate from all that you desire.
TRUTH
The supply of everything you desire is IN you, AS you, ALL AROUND you. Furthermore, there NO SEPARATION between you and that which you desire. You and "it" are one, are connected, are part of a larger whole, are made up of the same substance. (…just like no two drops of water within the ocean are separate from each other…) Furthermore, the larger whole is just that: WHOLE, complete, lacking nothing. So, Source is love, well-being, health, infinite abundance, peace, freedom, joy. Which means that YOU are all this because there is no separation.
If you want to liberate yourself from the illusion of scarcity, separation and limitation, you MUST contemplate ONENESS until you begin to even touch the possibility of understanding it. I remember hearing about the idea, reciting affirmations, trying to visualize it for years… and not quite grasping the concept. And then one day, something shifted. Something deep inside. I got it. And I continue to get it at ever deeper levels.
If you do nothing else, do this:
1) Print out and read regularly the statement of truth above, and/or
2) Practice these affirmations:
I AM WILLING to know my ONENESS with Source.
There is only One Source. The Only, the Every, and the All of All-That-Is.
Like drops of water in the ocean, I AM ONE with the WHOLE of life. There is no separation between me and All-That-Is.
Stay tuned for more on ONENESS…

Law of Attraction - Prosperity Fundamentals #1
By Sonia Miller | September 7, 2008
I’ve been reading Eric Butterworth’s book, Spiritual Economics. Given a busy summer and family matters it has been slow-going. But that’s probably a good thing because this book is like playing in the sand at the beach and discovering a small treasure every time you scoop another handful.
Something about this book won’t let me plow through it. I seem to read 1 - 2 pages at a time at most and on every page there is at least one pearl of wisdom - a fundamental concept about how the Universe works regarding prosperity. Every time I highlight it I think, I need to blog about this and go deeper with it. So, here we go. If all goes according to plan I’ll be addressing some of these fundamental concepts for a while.
For today:
"The word affluence is an overworked word in our time, usually implying cars and houses and baubles of all kinds. Its literal meaning is "an abundant flow," and not things at all. When we are consciousnly centered in the universal flow, we experience inner direction and the unfoldment of creative activity. Things come too, but prosperity is not just having things. It is the consciousness that attracts things." (p. 9)
Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about this because in the last two months I declared to the Universe, "I’m going to the next level of prosperity." And, as is often the case, as soon as I did that and began taking inspired action two things happened: 1) I started manifesting all sorts of unexpected prosperous blessings, and 2) my finances got very chaotic - checks bouncing, unexpected expenses, mistakes in my register causing me to overspend… things that never happen. (Mind you, I have a finance degree and am the anal-retentive bookkeeper by nature. So, I took these sudden occurrences as "chemicalization" (see previous posts) and knew there was something for me to learn.)
I’ve had numerous epiphanies and they keep coming, but the most profound one was that I had a limiting belief around money that goes like this, "Control is good. Control = safety and security. Out of control is bad. Out of control is unsafe."
My tendency to attempt to control everything when it came to finances revealed the deeper vibration of fear and scarcity thinking. It is one of the things that has kept my financial expansion at the current level. And the biggest "Aha" I got was that I need to learn a whole new way of relating to money. I needed to find a way to "be in the flow" and more importantly to "trust the flow."
This would mean trusting in the flow…
- even when I can’t see the evidence
- even when it ebbs and flows like the tide
- even when I feel out of control and safe
- even when I thought I knew everything about "responsible fiscal management" and had to let it go.
Prosperity truly is not about how much money you have in your savings, whether or not you stay within your budget, how many toys you have, whether or not you have credit card debt. Prosperity is a state of deep trust in an abundant Universe. It is about feeling so loved by Source Energy that you simply KNOW and EXPECT your good to flow to you. It is about being so grateful for all you have that you can’t wait to circulate it back to others.
How about you? How do you define prosperity? The more you are consciously willing to ponder this question, the more you’ll uncover the belief systems that limit what you will allow yourself to experience.
