Here’s another great lesson on how the Law of Attraction (combined with the Law of Creation) actually works in the real world:

As you may recall from a previous post, I have taken the Rubicon Challenge. I am going to record my own music in 2011, with me playing guitar, singing, and more. I’ve gone past the doubts and into the passion.

Once I made the decision to allow passion to lead the way, magic began to happen.

My singing lessons with Guy Monroe and guitar lessons with Mathew Dixon took on more focus. And my practice outside of the lessons became longer and more intentional.

And my lessons with Daniel Barrett are playful yet disciplined; always balanced with a sense of the moment and what it calls from us and gives to us.

Here’s an example of what I mean:

Daniel came to my home last Friday. It was his first visit, so we spent time touring the place, seeing guitars and cars and such. We then did the lesson, playing some spontaneous Jason Mraz-influenced chords that really moved me.

I then felt inspired to ask Dan to stay for dinner. We grabbed Nerissa and the three of us went to get the greatest pizza of all time, at Brewster’s.

And here’s where things got interesting.

As we pulled into the parking lot in my screaming Spyker car, watching jaws drop as we parked my exotic beauty, Daniel noticed Ray Wylie Hubbard getting out of his vehicle. I had never met the legendary singer songwriter, and of course wanted to.

We went inside, met Ray and his wife, Judy, and instantly clicked. Judy said she read several of my books and often waved at me as she saw me around town, knowing I had no clue who she was.

We all ended up eating our pizzas in the Vitale Cigar Lounge upstairs. It was a three hour spontaneous meeting where Ray told me how he wrote a couple of his songs, including the famous song Snake Farm. I was riveted.

Turns out he simply passed a famous Snake Farm in Texas — one he had passed hundreds of times while driving — but this time inspiration struck. He then whittled a song from that initial spark.

Ray said he took finger picking guitar lessons when he was 42 years old. He said he had to face his fears and doubts to do so at that age, but once he did, there was no turning back.

Judy compared songwriting to how I write my books. I saw the comparisons and learned a lot. For example, my blog post from the other day, titled Attract $175,000 Today, came from inspiration but still had to be crafted and rewritten. Songs are often the same way.

Ray quoted novelist Flannery O’Connor, saying (I don’t recall the exact quote so I may be paraphrasing here), “Inspiration can’t be second guessed, but it can be rewritten.”

Here’s Ray’s song Snake Farm:

Daniel and I looked at each other, smiling.

We knew that meeting Ray and his wife was no accident.

We knew that if we were looking for a sign that we are on the right path, we just got it.

And that’s how miracles get created:

You decide on something you passionately want, you take action, and you pay attention to the signs in each moment about what to do next.

Easy, isn’t it?

When you combine the Law of Attraction with the Law of Creation, magic happens.

Miracles await you.

It’s your move.

Ao Akua,

Secret #8 of our ten principles of abundance is below.

As you probably know by now, I’m calling this series The Abundance Manifesto. This is to help pave the way for my new audio program, The Abundance Paradigm: Moving from the Law of Attraction to the Law of Creation (coming out on November 9th).

These are my observations about how you can attract personal and planetary wealth. Wealth, of course, is more than money, so these ideas are more sweeping than you may at first realize.

Since I’m just sculpting these thoughts, please be forgiving in reviewing them. In fact, what I’d love is your opinion. Please comment on each to help me refine them all. The end result will be a useful set of insights for you, me, and everyone else.

Here’s secret eight:

Thou shall help others

Helping others expands your worldview to include the rest of the planet. It also expands your energy to move it from ego to Spirit. Helping family, friends, community and world increases abundance for all. The more you extend a hand to others, the more you feel abundance as a reality for you. Helping others helps you.

I shake my head in disappointment when I read many blog posts, articles, and books. Most authors violate one of the fundamental secret principles of the writing method I developed and coined, Hypnotic Writing.

In short, they write to the crowd and not to the person.

If you notice, when I write the posts on this blog, they are written to you. They aren’t written to all the people reading but to a single individual: you.

I wrote about this in my book, Hypnotic Writing, decades ago.

The more personal you can make your writing, the more magnetic it will be to the reader. Yes, crowds may eventually read your words, millions may ultimately read your writing, but when they do, they’ll read it individually.

It’s not uncommon for someone who read my book The Attractor Factor to meet me and confess, “I felt as if you wrote the book just for me.”

Why do they have that feeling?

Because I wrote the book to one person. When any one person reads it, they feel the rapport.

My emails to my list follow this same basic principle, but with even more love added.

In other words, I write most emails pretending I’m writing to a woman I know and like. Even love. Her name will remain a secret.*  But in my head, I write the email to her, feeling love as I do so.

The email is very much a type of love letter. Only it gets mailed to my entire list, not just to one person. Still, when my list reads it, they read it one at a time. Therefore the more personal I can be in that email, the more powerful the email will be when its read.

Here’s an example of what I mean:

Over the last few weeks several people have either written or told me face to face that I was appearing in their dreams. At first I found this odd. Then I considered it proof of spiritual advancement. 🙂 And then I decided to weave this reality into my next email.

So I sat down and wrote this subject line:

“I dreamed about you last night”

In the first line of the email, I began by writing, “You appeared in my dreams last night.”

From there I weaved a story about astral consultations, and suggested people get the help they need by going to my main website right here.

Did you notice how I created Hypnotic Writing in the email?

I didn’t begin it by writing, “Many people say they visit me in their dreams.”

Instead, I wrote “You appeared in my dreams last night.”

Feel the difference?

The first line is impersonal; the second line is personal. The first line is not hypnotic; the second line is.

I use the same secret when I’m recording my audios.

For example, when recording my new audio program, The Abundance Paradigm, I spoke just to you. I addressed you. I don’t say “To all those listening,” I instead say, “I’m speaking to you…”

All of my audios, especially The Secret to Attracting Money, are created with me talking to one person: you.

I’m sharing this with you — with you, not my entire database of readers or even the tens of thousands who read this blog — so you can start attracting more of what you want by communicating more powerfully with your own readers.

If nothing else, maybe in the future a little more of what I read will feel like it was actually written for me.

Or better yet, for you.

Ao Akua,

Joe

Secret #7 of the ten principles of abundance is below.

As you may recall, I’m calling this series The Abundance Manifesto. This is to help pave the way for my new audio program, The Abundance Paradigm: Moving from the Law of Attraction to the Law of Creation (coming out November 9).

These are my observations about how you can attract personal and planetary wealth. Wealth, of course, is more than money, so these ideas are more sweeping than you may at first realize.

Since I’m just sculpting these thoughts, please be forgiving in reviewing them. In fact, what I’d love is your opinion. Please comment on each to help me refine them all. The end result will be a useful set of insights for you, me, and everyone else.

Here’s secret seven:

Thou shall spend, invest and save responsibly

Abundance is the reality of balance and sufficiency. As long as you spend, invest and save in a balanced way, all is well. This needs coupled with the principle of giving (secret #3), which can be considered a form of investing, but the point remains: whatever you receive monetarily should be split within these areas. Doing so maintains the abundant life.

In 1931 Vash Young inherited a fortune. This was during the Great Depression in the USA when much of the country lost jobs, savings, hopes, dreams, and more. Young was so grateful for his inherited fortune that he spent his entire life sharing it.

Last week I inherited his fortune.

It was strange, unexpected, and yet incredible.

I didn’t know Young before last week, though I had heard of his fortune.

I never imagined he would pass it on to me.

I’m grateful for it, of course.

Who wouldn’t be?

And I’m now going to share that fortune with you.

Let me explain.

A friend of mine in the Miracles Coaching program told me about an old book he found that he thought I might like. But he couldn’t recall the title or author. He was obviously moved by the book. I’m a bookaholic, so I was interested, even without all the details. I asked him to send me the book’s info when he came across it. I didn’t think any more about it.

But last week my friend sent me a package. Inside was the mysterious book. The title is A Fortune to Share. The author was Vash Young. I had never heard of the book or the author. Since I was busy with projects, such as scheduling the launch of my new audio program (The Abundance Paradigm), and already had fifteen books to read either on my ipad or my desk, I just put the book aside. It would have to wait.

But the book wouldn’t wait.

Something about it called me to it. Maybe because the book was from 1931 and looked like a lost gem in self-help and self-improvement; maybe because I love success literature and this title seemed like it was from that category; maybe because I hoped the author had been a friend of a man I wrote about from that era, Bruce Barton, in my book The Seven Lost Secrets of Success; maybe because the author put a spell on the book. I don’t know. But before I knew it, everything else got pushed aside and I started reading A Fortune to Share.

Within minutes, I was captivated.

The book is written in the first person, with the author talking to me about his fortune and how it changed his life. The old Young of poverty and reckless living was gone; the new Young was now so rich that even the Great Depression couldn’t touch him.

His mission became the life-long quest to share his fortune with others.

I was riveted.

Young explained that you own a factory. Most of the time you make junk in that factory. As a result, no one buys from you. No wonder you were broke and struggling. No wonder life looked bleak. Your factory wasn’t producing what anyone wanted.

He went on to explain that the same factory could make gold.

Gold?

How?

In your mind.

In your mind!

As it turns out, the fortune Young inherited was the gold inside himself: his ability to control his thoughts, beliefs, moods, and attitude. He could let the factory of his mind create a life that was miserable, or he could take charge of that factory and get it producing new thoughts, beliefs, moods and attitude that he and others would want.

He inherited a mental fortune.

As long as Young (pictured below) accepted his fortune and shared it, everything he wanted would come his way, and without trying to make it happen.

Young literally did attract a financial fortune (he sold over $80,000,000 in life insurance) due to his discovery and his sharing. He went from a life of go-getting to a life of go-giving. (He later wrote a book titled The Go-Giver.) The more he gave, the more he attracted. His mission truly became one of sharing the mental fortune inside himself to awaken your own understanding that you have a mental fortune inside you, too.

While it’s easy to wish that Young’s fortune was all cash and he shared it by writing checks (which he often did, just not to you or me), what he actually gave us is something far more valuable: he pointed out you have a cash-making machine in your head.

In short, we attract “junk” when we think from selfishness and fear; we attract “gold” when we think and act with love.

A Fortune to Share contains much more information, and many wonderful stories. It’s a hypnotic read. Breezy. Easy. Fast. It also delivers some unforgettable wisdom, such as:

“Any experience can be transformed into something of value.”

“Prosperity can not be built on fear!”

For a long time, Young would hold “Trouble Day” every Saturday. He would let anyone walk into his office, dump their troubles on him, and then Young would do his best to help the troubled soul with his philosophy, and often with money.

In talking to an unemployed man one day, Young tells him, “You haven’t been unemployed all these months, you have been working for the wrong boss. You have been working for failure, discouragement, fear and worry and the sad part of it is that there has been no salary for your labors. You seem to be destitute, but I am going to tell you how to become rich overnight. I want you to deposit the following thoughts in your mental bank tonight: ‘I am not afraid – I am a success, not a failure – I have an inexhaustible supply of courage, energy, confidence and perseverance.'”

Young helps the man out with a suit of clothes and a little money, and reminds him to draw on his new mental bank account when he needs it.

Within a week, the man has a job he loves.

Young’s first book was so sincere, helpful and timely that it became a national bestseller. He followed it with several others (which I have yet to read but eagerly await), including The Go-Giver, Be Kind to Yourself, and Let’s Start Over Again. All were bestsellers. All were booster rockets for a weary country suffering during the Great Depression of the 1930s. When Young was in his seventies in 1959, he wrote a final book summing up his philosophy of life, called Fortunes For All.

I found Fortunes For All and read it. Loved it, too. On the cover the publisher says, “Let Vash Young show you that your mind is worth $175,000 or more!”

How can your mind bring you $175,000?

Here’s the secret:

Young explains that instead of asking, “How can we have more?” we should ask, “How can we be more?”

He then invites you to try an experiment:

“Go off by yourself with a pad and pencil and write out your own ticket for a happy and successful life. By that I mean put down all of the things you would like to have or be.”

He adds, “After imagining every wish has been granted, then go one step further. Start in being the ideal person you think you would be if you had everything your way.”

Young’s philosophy of fortune basically said that once you began to be that happy, successful person now, then you would naturally attract all you wanted from the being.

Sounds a whole lot like step four in my book, The Attractor Factor, and step five in my book Attract Money Now, where I suggest you “Nevillize” a goal to help bring it into reality.

In other words, feel what it would be like to already have the thing you want or be the person you long to be. Feel it now.

But Young is also wanting you to be something greater than a satisfied person. He wants you to embody the traits of — dare I say it — God.

Decades ago in Houston I gave a talk where I encouraged people to think like God. I said God wouldn’t think in terms of lack and limitation. Why should you?

But Young wants you to act like God, meaning live love, compassion, forgiveness and all the other positive, enlightened states that a God would have.

Be God.

Young was a great believer in taking action, too.

A chapter on selling in Fortunes For All proves that he sold such a staggering amount of life insurance by focusing on giving, thinking of others over himself, and following his being principle. But he also took non-stop action. Even when Young was on jury duty for three weeks, he still held the sales record for the month. How? He kept taking action.

All of this is so inspiring and powerful that I wish Vash Young was still alive so I could thank him in person. But I’ve inherited his fortune. And I’m sharing it with you. I’m hoping you will now share it with others, too.

Take control of your mind and you can live a life of magic and miracles — a life of good fortune.

It’s Vash Young’s inheritance.

It’s my inheritance.

And now it’s yours.

What do you think, anyway?

What is your factory producing?

Who’s the boss of your own mind?

Who are you being?

Enjoy your new fortune.

Ao Akua,

Joe

PS – Be sure to pass your fortune along to others by telling them about Vash Young, his books, and this blog post’s message. Together we can share the wealth, and make a difference in the world. Thank you.
