Introduction / Visualisation / Affirmations / Power Pics / Summary
To become prosperous you must first open your mind to money. This is Parts 2 & 3 of a report that will help you do just that!In Part 1 of this report you were asked to follow a writing process and create three lists: First there was the VANISH list of things and attitudes you will make vanish from your life. Then there was the DREAM list where you itemised what you want in life. Last of all, there was the GRATITUDE list which is to make you realise the riches in your life you already have, such as health relationships and so on.
Remembering that financial and spiritual richness is generated by mental and physical forces, Part 2 of this report now moves from the writing stage to imagery processes that will open your mind to money! (As a bonus you'll discover I've included Part 3 which teaches you about moneymind self-talk...)
The next powerful way of opening your mind to money is to picture yourself enjoying it. Dr Carl Pribram of Stanford university has recently discovered that we program ourselves primarily through both conscious and subconscious visualisation. Strangely, this visual programming aspect of our mind has been known for tens of thousands of years. Cavemen would carve pictures on the walls of their caves of the food they hoped to catch. They believed that if they looked at those pictures often enough, some unknown force would make sure there was plenty of food nearby.Later the Egyptians did a similar thing. When a child of royal descent was born, a tomb was built with paintings depicting a full and prosperous life surrounding the place of eventual burial. These events were then expected to take place throughout that child's life.
You will also, as a result of this knowledge, have to be careful with your thoughts from now on, as your subconscious will be visualising your thoughts precisely. If for example, you used positive thinking alone as a tool to change your belief systems, you'd better be careful!
Affirmations such as "I am a non-smoker I no longer smoke" or "I no longer struggle for money" may well back-fire on you! Your subconscious can't visualise the words 'no longer.' It will simply visualise you smoking or struggling for money! You must begin to affirm positive visual images such as "I am fit and healthy" or "I have abundant money." Then your subconscious will program your reality through images of you looking fit and healthy without a cigarette in sight, or you driving a new Mercedes!What would you look like in a world class five star hotel? If you haven't experienced this recently, why not dress up and arrange with a friend to have a drink in the lobby of the most luxurious hotel in town? Speaking from my own experience, within a year of my doing this, I went from having to sell my car to keep a roof over my head to jet-setting about giving seminars at these very same hotels! Take a camera along to catch yourself relaxing in a comfortable leather armchair under a crystal chandelier. Soak it up! Enjoy the moment and look forward to when you can book the penthouse suite for the weekend; or a month!
And what about driving an expensive car? Why not take one for a test drive? Believe me the dealers don't care if you say you're just looking for the moment! A friend of mine drove his old Mazda into a car yard for a valuation, and quite literally had the keys to an $80,000 Saab Turbo tossed onto his lap! He didn't need a second chance, and later told me how incredible the experience was! Provided you dress neatly and wear your best clean shoes, you can drive just about any car you want. (Interestingly, a well dressed person in scungy shoes will have less chance of a test drive than a person in jeans wearing clean quality shoes.)
If you choose, you can easily drive a different luxury car every weekend! With the easy availability of credit through the dealers, they don't even care if you have a low income! But of course you will realise you ARE just looking and avoid the credit trap. And while you're there, be sure to take a photo of you enjoying yourself in the car of your future!
Get these success photos enlarged and look at them each day. Not only are they a happy reminder of an exciting time, they will serve to reprogram your mind to accepting the fact that you CAN and will experience such prosperity in your life. When you next see a driver in a Ferrari or a Mercedes, instead of being bitter or envious, simply say "That's for me!"Where at all possible, have a large photo of yourself with each of the things on your dream list. Want a two million dollar house? Go to the auction for a guided tour! Want to travel overseas, visit the airport! And most important... capture the memories on film! I know when you later look at these photos, you may initially be tempted to think it's just fantasy, but do you sit through a film at the cinema saying "Oh that's not very likely!" Of course not!
Become your own mental movie producer, and cast yourself as the star!
As you may be aware, my personal goal is to help end starvation by 2001. To this end, I'm raising money for World Vision and UNICEF via my MINDWAVE internet project.

Yet I don't just believe it's just about sharing what we have, what I believe is just as crucial, is to understand the forces that generate prosperity!
There are more ways to make money than ever before!

Thank you. You may recall that in Part 1 & 2 of your free moneymind program, we covered 2 of the 3 ways to open your mind to money. They were by writing and by pictures.
Well, the third way to open your mind to money is through your words. You see, in your inner world, what you 'utter' becomes your 'outer' world. Words like thoughts, work by displacement. You can only think one thought at a time, so if you catch yourself dwelling on negativity, simply insert a positive thought in its place!
If you're feeling sad, do something about it! In fact if no-one is listening, chant out aloud with me right now, I feel great, I feel great, I feel great! So how do you feel? Great? I'm sure you do! (Come on... you can do it...)
If like most people that operate on a mental auto-pilot system, you felt comfortable with the money myths that I mentioned before, such as the more money you have the less someone else must have, then you may be saying. "Sure I want lots of money!" yet your subconscious will always prevent you from having lots of money.
Let me give you an example. Not too long ago, there were two identical job advertisements placed in a weekend paper. They were both the same size, with the same job description; in fact identical with one exception. One of the ads mentioned an income of $30,000 while the other ad mentioned the income was $60,000.
And do you know what happened? I'll tell you. There were dozens of responses for the $30,000 ad, and only a handful for the $60,000 ad! That's incredible isn't it- yet that's the way life works! For exactly the same work, people could have earned twice as much, yet because most of the applicants believed they were only worth $30,000, that's all they had opened their minds to, and that's about as much as they would ever earn!
I can't emphasise enough: if you want to have more money in your life you've got to raise your sense of self worth! And how much are you worth, I can hear you ask? Well for a start don't confuse your income with your self worth, as many people mistakenly do. Perhaps you've heard how many millionaires have been totally bankrupt on several occasions in their lives? And just as the value of a business isn't measured by its sales turnover your current income is merely your current cash flow.
So right now I'm about to give you two ways with which words will raise your sense of self worth. If you don't have a pen on you, make sure you receive the information that's available at the end of this 2 part message!
Firstly whatever you income is right now, or your last income if you are currently between jobs, I want you to double this figure.
If for example your current cash flow is $30,000 dollars a year, you would double this to $60,000. If your current cash flow is $70,000 you would double this to $140,000. OK?
So whatever your cash flow is, let's take $40,000 as an example, repeat several times, "I am an eighty thousand dollar person only earning $40,000!" "I am an eighty thousand dollar person only earning $40,000!
OK I'll give you the opportunity to do this right now for a few moments. We'll start by doubling your income and say "I'm a such and such dollar person only earning such and such dollars. If possible, say this out loud and with feeling. Repeat this to yourself 5 times now...
(30 SECONDS LATER...)
So how do you feel? Like you're being short changed or cheated?
Well let me tell you, you are! And one of the ways you're cheating yourself is by believing that you only receive money in return for doing your regular job. Well let me tell you again right now, there are thousands of ways you can create lots of money in your life. Yet you must be flexible and open your mind to the abundant opportunities that exist today. Let me give you an example, of just how unusual some of these opportunities can be.
You see, not too long ago, a friend of mine called Mark, was driving his family home from their holiday, when he drove past a caravan park with a for sale sign in front of it. At the time it didn't mean a thing, yet because he had an open mind to money, a week later when he was glancing through the classifieds to see how much his car was worth, he noticed a small classified ad under the wanted section- for caravans. Putting two and two together, he rung directory assistance and got the phone number of the caravan park and asked them how much they wanted for their caravans. As it turned out, they had forty for sale. A few minutes later Mark rang the ad in the wanted section to ask what sort of caravan they wanted. Well as it worked out, it was actually a caravan dealer's ad, and they bought vans privately through the classifieds every weekend. Anyway to cut a long story short, after a couple of hours on the phone, talking to the caravan park and the dealer, the owner of the caravan park was delighted to sell all the caravans to the dealer, and Mark made $200 per caravan, or $8,000 JUST BY HAVING AN OPEN MIND TO MONEY!
In case you're wondering, Mark is no high flying millionaire. Like 99% of the population he would have missed this opportunity had he need followed these principles of having a high self worth and an open mind to money!
A powerful way to use words to raise your sense of self worth to help you open your mind to money is to use affirmations or positive self-talk for a minimum of 5 minutes, three times a day for the next three weeks. You see, you can't stop your mental video recorder from running, but you can choose the programs it runs!
Affirmations work. Many years ago, a young boxer in an interview before his first big fight, declared "I'm the greatest!" Muhammad Ali then went on to become the greatest boxer the world has seen! But did you hear how he didn't simply "I'm no longer a lousy fighter" or "I'm almost great!" or "Next year I'll be great" He used affirmations always in the present, and in the positive.
Spectacular success in your life is always preceded by spectacular success in the mind.
Affirmations you can use may be:
- I am happy, healthy and wealthy
- Things work out better than I plan
- Good things always happen to me
- Money flows to me easily
- Opportunities are mine
- My wealth is unlimited
- I deserve money
- I'm alive, I am well and I feel great!
Some of these affirmations will make you feel better and open your mind to money almost immediately! Others you may have to repeat to yourself for a few days before you experience their full effects. And of course it's a good idea to write your own!
Once you start using these affirmations as I suggest, for at least five minutes three times a day, you'll notice that you begin to feel lighter, happier and more energised to achieve the goals you have set yourself.
The final way to open your mind to money is to follow the ideas you will discover FREE on the mindwave site. So get ready to surf your mindwave to success!
