The Awakened Millionaire
Introduction
Is money really the root of all evil? Or, is the love of money the root of all evil? Many spiritual people think that money is bad. They judge wealthy people as being to material. Does that sound spiritual to you? IS money bad? ARE wealthy people TO material? I’ve taught for a long time that the material is the hard form of the spiritual. Think about it. If money, cars, homes, etc., are not spiritual (or at least also spiritual), then what is? For me money is simply a tool.
A spiritual teacher that I admire, Arnold Patent, once said, “The sole purpose of money is to express appreciation.” I love that quote; how-ever, I think that it can also be said another way: “The soul purpose of money is to express appreciation.” Appreciation helps you to under-stand that money can a tool for good—and a spiritual tool, at that.
To help you understand this new mindset about money, this module focuses on attracting financial prosperity and how money, even lots of it, is not evil, especially when your mind is right and you use money to help others, as well as yourself.
Objectives
After studying this module, you should be able to accomplish the following:
› Use your trusted circle, to help you identify your beliefs about money.
› Identify and use two simple secrets for attracting money, in any economy.
› Explain the Five-Step Formula to Attract Money. › Define five protections that you can use to protect yourself

› Describe how you can be a philanthropist and help others. › Establish your own noble intentions for the money you make. › Identify negative, limiting beliefs that have been keeping you
from financial happiness and abundance.

“The sec ret to at t ract ing

Pre-Assessment
To assess your current level of understanding about the topics in this module, please answer the following questions. (A Success Journal is available for you to write in, at the end of module 16.)
1. What do you believe money really is? Up until this point in your life, how have you used it? Be ruthlessly honest.
2. What are your views on financial abundance?
3. Have you ever asked others, those closest to you, what they think about how YOU view financial abundance? If so, what have they said? If not, what do you think they would say?
4. Knowing what you have learned so far from this program, how would you go about attracting money into your life?
5. How do you currently use money to help others? If you had financial abundance, how would you help others with it, and why would you?
Money and Spirit
I’ve said it again and again: money isn’t separate from spirit. The material and the spiritual are two sides of the same coin. In order to live your fullest and help the world at the same time, you need to come from the inside first. Money follows those who express spirit first! That’s the overall secret for attracting money—the secret that frames all of the others.
At one point in my life, I had a specific noble goal about money, but I did not have the means to manifest it. Perhaps you too have a noble goal about money that you would like to manifest in your life. One of the secrets to attracting money is to give yourself permission to explore your goals about money, without discouraging yourself or settling for less that you want.
One of the misconceptions about greed, power, and wealth is that weal-thy people are selfish and greedy. If you feel this way, I suggest that you reflect on the positive things that you can do with wealth. For example, the more money you have, the better you can HELP your family, the needy, your friends, and others.
I discussed the What If Up Game in the audio portions of this program. It’s a way that you can start to recognize and reprogram your negative beliefs.

you do.”

I want you to ask yourself the following positive questions about this program:
What if this is the program that finally helps me change my life?
What if this is the program that finally gets me out of debt?
What if this program becomes the greatest investment in my life?
How would you feel if those things happened? In other words, what do you think about when you allow yourself to explore such possibi-lities?
The secret to attracting money has a lot to do with the inside of you, not what’s happening outside of you. The Law of Attraction states that everything you get in your life is due to your mental processes and everything that you believe. You also need to implement the Law of Right Action—or as I often have referred to it—Inspired Action in order to manifest greater wealth in your life.
Go to Your Trusted Circle
Your unconscious beliefs and your sense of deservingness are key in opening your pathway towards attracting money into your life. One of the best ways you can get clear is to consult your trusted circle of friends—the people who really offer constructive criticism with ruthless honesty and support. They can assist you in working on your unconscious beliefs. For instance, ask three compassionate and supportive friends (or relatives) about the unconscious beliefs they believe that you have about financial abundance. Then, consider well their advise.
Economic Ups and Downs
The following are two powerful secrets for attracting money, in any economic climate. And they are surprisingly simple!
Do Something You Love
If you do something that you truly love, you will be driven with a passion that goes beyond the dollar. You will be following divine-driven intentions more than ego-driven intentions. And remember, the Divine has a better idea of what the future holds than any mar-ket analyst, any financial guru, or any political pundit. By following your inner voice and connecting with the Divine, to do something you love, the money will follow. By the Law of Attraction, it has no choice.
“The D iv ine has a better idea
o f what the fu ture ho lds
than any market ana lyst ,
any f inanc ia l guru , o r any
po l i t i ca l pund i t .”

Volume 2: Manifesting
Problems are Opportunities
As you follow a path of doing what you love, there is no better way to attract money than to solve problems. People encounter challenges and problems on a daily basis—hundreds of them. With more than six-billion people on this planet, that’s a lot of problems and challenges. It’s also a lot of opportunities. If you can solve problems for even just a small percentage of people, a small percentage of the time, think of how BIG that could be!
Adopting the mindset of doing what you love and using problems as opportunities is the root to financially thriving in this world, whether during sunshine or storm.
The Five-Step Formula to Attract Money
The following a five-step formula to attract money into your life:
Step 1: Know What You Don’t Want
In several of the previous modules, I discussed that The Law of Attraction has a way of taking cues from your unconscious mind. So, why not clear your mind of things that you don’t want. Once you do, you won’t have to consider them any longer.
Step 2: Intend What You Prefer
I’ve talked about the difference between setting intentions versus setting goals. Also, I’ve discussed wants versus needs. Remember, need often repels while want tends to attract. Therefore, intend (want) what you prefer to have.
Step 3: Get Clear
When it comes to your not attracting money, your limiting beliefs and counter-intentions are often to blame. You have to use the steps for getting clear—often repeatedly—before you can make progress in your financial world.
Step 4: Nevillize Your Goals
With Nevillizing, you have to feel money as though you already have it. You have to create an experience for yourself that moves your mind into another realm—where there IS financial abundance. Consider your money already having been made and you’re enjoy-ing it; then work backwards for the how.
“One o f the best ways you
can get c lear i s to consu l t
your t rusted c i rc le o f f r iends :
the peop le who rea l ly
o f fe r const ruct ive c r i t i c i sm
wi th ruth less honesty and
suppor t .”

Step 5: While Taking Inspired Action, Let Go
Trying to control how you will make money will often keep you from realizing the money is standing right before your very eyes. If you become too stuck on the outcome of how to make money, you won’t take advantage of the opportunities to do so. You won’t see the opportunities because you won’t be open to them. By let-ting go, being humble to follow the signals, you’ll be open enough to receive the money, and the road to wealth that presents itself to you.
Five Protections from Negativity
Never is there more negativity in the world than when finances become involved. Finances, for many people, have a way of pushing negative buttons and creating frustrations. It’s not money’s fault. Money itself is neither good nor evil. The meaning that people attach to money is to blame.
As you try to get clear of your negative beliefs about money, there are ways that negative beliefs can creep back into your life. That’s why I am giving you these simple, five suggestions for protecting yourself against negativity, while supporting your dreams. These suggestions are as fol-lows:
› Ignore water-cooler gossip and other negative messages. › Turn off any media that perpetuates negativity. › Read positive material that supports healthy messaging. › Listen to positive material that also enhances the energy
in and around you.
› Get support. For example, use mastermind group or a personal coach (mentor).
Post-Assessment
Use the following questions to evaluate what you have learned from this module. (A Success Journal is available for you to write in, at the end of module 16.)
1. What are your views on financial abundance now?
2. Even you are impoverished, there is a mindset that allows you to give. Just because you may be short on money, this doesn’t mean that you can’t give of yourself. If you have a dollar in your pocket, you could at least give away 10% to someone in need, even if it’s one thin dime.
“Do what you love, the
money wi l l fo l low.”

If You Scored 33 to 107:
You most likely struggle quite a bit with financial issues. Perhaps you are trying to match opposite poles of the magnet together. You may need to look at your beliefs and do some emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual reprogramming of your limiting beliefs. Perhaps you feel unworthy to be wealthy or are plagued by old, unsupported belief systems. Be sure to work through this module, surround yourself with positive people, and look at addi-tional resources. By learning new beliefs and by clearing the old ones, you will likely reach your money-making potential faster than you think.

The Law of Attraction states that everything you obtain in life is due to your mental processes and to everything that you believe. Additionally, in order to manifest greater wealth in your life, you need to implement the Law of Right Action (do the right thing and reap the rewards). Reflect on your current situation. Is there anything that seems out of place with the right actions in your life? Do you have situations in which there is not complete integrity? If so, write them down. Also, note the steps you might take to change them.
