Yes. If you summarize it, I'll pay you with an inspirational article whose subject you will choose. Do I have a deal?

Prosperity Consciousness is a state of mind employed by
metaphysicians, to consciously attract a higher level of abundance in
their lives. It operates by means of some simple principles of
physics.

It's been established by nuclear scientists, specifically, elementary
particle physicists, that the energy of our universe is subject to
our mental expectations of it. It was discovered that in blind tests,
that an elementary sub-atomic particle would behave as either
a "wave" or as a "particle", depending upon who was doing the test!
It was scientific proof that our human minds affect the most basic
level of the material universe. The mental expectations of the
scientist who performed the test quite clearly determined the actual
state of being of the most basic building block of our physical world.

Obviously, this was a hard pill to swallow for the scientific
community. The premise was tested..and retested..and tested again.
Yet by George, it still worked! Blind tests were performed. This
meant that we put Harry in the driver's seat to run the particle
accelerator and we won't tell him what's going on. We'll just see
what registers on the 'scope. Well, evidently Harry had his
preferences as to whether this particle would behave as a wave or
particle that day. Sure enough, it behaved according to his
preference. Hmmm...Well, let's do a double-blind test. We'll go get
Bill to go get Sam to run the test. We won't tell either one of them
what's going on in case there's some sort of ESP happening. Oops.
Same results.

This was a significant realization, which bore out in scientific
terms what has been understood in many religious, philosophical, and
mystical traditions for centuries. This was that our state of mind,
influenced by our faith in "things unseen" could affect outcomes in
the world around us. Thus, the power of prayer.

Metaphysics and the Power of Prayer

Prayer is the most classic and instinctive use of this metaphysical
influence. Every civilization in history has acknowledged the need
for it, simply to keep their lives running. Its instinctive use is
evident under conditions of extreme stress, fear or pain. One doesn't
think about praying when a situation is desperate, one just does it.
We automatically employ a superconscious state of mind in order to
connect with a Higher Power when we pray. Depending upon how
completely we believe that this Power can and will assist us,
determines how well the prayer will be answered for us. This is
faith. The stronger and clearer the faith, the more immediate and
dramatic it's answer.

This isn't the forum to debate the relative merits of various
perceptions of God, Goddess, Spirit, Allah, etc. In metaphysics, what
you call your Higher Power is irrelevant. Metaphysically, you could
even conceivably consider It an inanimate force (May the Force be
with you) which keeps the Universe from collapsing into chaos. What
you expect of It, what you believe It is capable of, and how you
believe It feels about you, is relevant indeed. These elements
describe your mental attitude about the Source of your being and
thus, the source of your supply.

Metal Attitudes and Prosperity

Prosperity Consciousness is a term which describes our mental
attitudes about prosperity. Someone who practices prosperity
consciousness makes an active decision to believe and expect that
prosperity is his or hers, right now. They practice creative
visualization, repeat affirmations to themselves, and pray, for the
specific purpose of changing their minds to accept prosperity coming
from a non-material source. Before we all get confused, let me
clarify. The non-material source is our mind and what we are able to
contact with our mind. This causes manifestation to occur through
ordinary, "coincidental" causes. Unexpected income, extraordinary job
offers, gifts, etc., are all very common "coincidental"
manifestations of prosperity consciousness.

I know just enough about statistical analysis to be dangerous, but
it's very obvious that the odds are way against these types
of "coincidences" (God, I love that word) happening with the
frequency and regularity that they do when someone is practicing
prosperity consciousness.

Prosperity, Visualization and Manifestation

There are several terms in popular use, which describe these results.
Manifestation is a fun one. What you have visualized or prayed
for "manifests" in the physical universe. Demonstration is also
widely used to describe your outcome. Treatment is a term used to
describe the activities of prosperity consciousness. So, we may treat
for a specific manifestation or demonstration.

Prosperity means different things to different people. For one
person, it could mean a bank account over a particular amount. For
another it could mean owning property. Still another might see it as
the opportunity to travel extensively. Someone else may see
prosperity as being able to stay home with the kids. It's important
that you understand what your definition of prosperity is, since
you're bringing it to yourself with your mind.

The simplest method to get clarification on this is to play the "What
would I do with a million dollars" game. Explore your answers; be in
depth about it. It's critically important that you do this, because
in doing your prosperity treatment, the million dollars isn't
important, but what you want to do with it, is. This is far more
relevant, since your treatment is effective based on your real needs
and desires, and who among us needs a million small pieces of paper?
Personally, I'm buried in paperwork as it is.

Focus on What's Really Needed

Yes, it's quite possible that you will manifest actual income in
order to achieve your desire. It doesn't need to be the point of your
efforts, however and can often work against you. In my opinion this
is due to our cultural obsession with money. An obsessive mind-set
can pretty well cancel out your effectiveness with prosperity, since
it contains a built-in attitude that there is never enough,
i.e., "you can't have too much, I must have it before it runs out,"
etc. Obsession contains the seeds of "scarcity consciousness" . Few of
us wish to treat for having an inadequate supply.

When we can focus clearly on our actual needs and wants, prosperity
work becomes much simpler. If we want that new car, we can visualize
driving it, smell that new-car smell and feel the vibration of the
road. We can know that the Higher Power wants this for us, and has
determined that we shall have it. We can "embody" (another new term)
the reality of ownership of this particular make of car, knowing it
and feeling it as our own. This could include walking out to the
driveway each morning expecting to see it parked there. We could make
plans for the future selling or disposing of our previous vehicle,
being ready for the new car's appearance. Embodiment of a
metaphysical process means that we fully create the goal into our
inner life. We, in essence, give it life.

There are many techniques for prosperity consciousness and some will
work better for you than others. With practice, you'll work out the
mental affirmations which are most effective in your life.

Developing this awareness with regard to money will enable you to
begin consciously claiming all that is your birthright, opening the
flow to money and doing so in a way that you find pleasing if you'll
make a conscious and intentional choice to internalize, grasp and
commit to consistently applying what is soon to be revealed to you.

Mind, itself, is unconditioned, but the human race has accepted the belief of both good and evil, and has produced a good effect by taking good into its mind and an evil effect by taking evil into its mind.

In all the healings that healers brought forth in his ministry, it was the God's will that was being performed through him, and he knew that it was not his mind, but the God's mind: It was the unconditioned mind. Therefore, he could say to a blind man, "Open your eyes." He could say to the crippled man, "What did hinder you?" In other words, there was no conditioned condition in his consciousness. There was only unconditioned mind which is neither healthy nor sick, neither rich nor poor.

This is truth, but you can make it truth in your experience only by applying it to every appearance that faces you~ on the street, at home, in school, in the factory, or in the market~ always keeping before you the truth that unconditioned mind is formed as unconditioned effect.
