A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living
J Douglas Bottorff
Most prosperity books, including this one, will emphasize the antabuse preiswert kaufen practice of giving. But the act of giving alone is not what produces a prosperous life. Charles Fillmore, himself a staunch advocate of this practice, observed that giving with the fear of lack leads to poverty. Why? Because the fear of lack is a self-image issue and self-image issues cannot be permanently overcome through external actions, not even through a practice as potentially transformative as giving. In determining the quality of your life, the condition of your self-image always overrides your actions, regardless of how sincere, well-intentioned or even spiritually motivated these actions may be.
The effectiveness of any prosperity technique, therefore, lies in its ability to assist you in making a fundamental shift in the way you see yourself. If the technique is not being used with this deeper end in mind, it becomes placebo-like in nature and will, at best, produce sporadic results. It will fail you in providing the long-term, sustainable improvements in the quality of the original viagra in deutschland kaufen state of being that you desire. In other words, it is not as much in the doing as it is in the self-image you are doing it from that makes the difference.
It is important, then, that we make a distinction between a prosperity law and a prosperity technique. A prosperity law is the underlying, absolute principle that remains true and unchanging, regardless of all appearances to the contrary. There is essentially only one prosperity law and that is the law of infinite expansion. There are, however, many techniques that assist us in complying with this law. There are techniques that assist us in our finances, relationships, health matters, family life and choices of employment. The Creative Life Force, expanding through each of us is, as we have already seen, asserting itself as our impulse to prosper in every one of these areas. In our efforts to prosper, we are only seeking to externalize what is already ours at the deepest levels of our being.
