How to
Attract
More Money
John Raye
By John Raye
You can always make money by (1) working for someone else or by
(2) working for yourself. However, serious people understand that big
money or real wealth does not come by working for someone else. You
can also work real hard for yourself and still end up broke and
despondent.
Money, like an idea, comes to the person who attracts it. However,
chasing after money, struggling for money, begging, stealing or maneu
vering to get it, is a sure indication of a poverty consciousness, and a
messed up mind. Money does not favor skirt chasers, booty shakers,
depressed individuals or individuals of ill-repute. Money favors
righteousness, and faithfulness.
And it comes most readily to people who are prepared to receive it.
The overwhelming majority of people, however, prepare themselves to
work for money, not to receive it. Most have never been taught how to
receive anything, and consequently, never expect to receive anything.
More often than not, such expectations are granted.
The average person, having worked forty-plus years, reaches
retirement age, broke, nearly broke, or dependent upon family, friends or
governmental assistance for survival. Many such people cannot even
afford to retire.
Why do most people continue to live from paycheck-to-paycheck in
a land of plenty? And why are so many tip-toeing on the edge of
poverty when approaching retirement? The answers lie largely in our
culture norms, environmental patterns and educational system. Early on,
the child is taught and prepared to satisfy cultural expectations,
educational norms and peer group relationships.
Self-actualization, on the other hand, is seldom taught, seldom
encouraged, and almost never required. The child, therefore, grows into
adulthood with limited possibility. He is, in fact, a trained organism,
unable to recognize his own potential, chiefly because he has never
been taught, in the first place, that he has any such potential at all!!
The average person, therefore, holds a firm belief that the only way to
earn more money is to (1) get a good education, (2) get a good job and
work extremely hard, and (3) then get connected to the right people. For
most, this version of the so-called American Dream is now an American
Nightmare.
The wolf, not the boogeyman, is knocking at the front door.
Money Is Magnetic
Money is a form of divine energy, delivered to you in the form of a
paper transaction, for services rendered. Service is the rent you pay for
living on this good earth. If your desire is to be in possession of more
money, then do the obvious; render more in the way of service; receive
more money by serving more people! If your money supply is tight, slow
or non-existent, increase your rate and frequency of service. Get busy
serving more people, not things, and begin your service apprenticeship
by serving with an attitude of gratitude. People will favor you with more
money once they realize your service is genuine and sincere with no
hidden or secondary motives.
Understand that money is a mere tool to be used for the upliftment of
humankind. It is a medium of exchange, and to get more of it, you must
be willing to exchange something of equal value.
You exchange your time for some money. But we all know there is
only so much time that you can exchange. Your time, like life itself, is
finite. Therefore, you must learn how to attract money by invoking the
law of magnetic attraction. First, money is a form of magnetic energy.
High energy people are seldom broke or without money. On the other
hand, slow or low-energy people are prone to attract money in the same
fashion; your money reflects you current mindset!
If your money supply is low or slow in manifesting, this reality reflects
the nature and condition of your spiritual energy. You are not doing very
much, and consequently, will not earn very much in the way of addition
al income. In other words, God does not move until you move! If you
are sitting still, your money will continue to sit still! Money follows action!
Allow Money To Serve You
You can earn a considerable amount of money by allowing it to serve
you. To do so, you must become a master of money; it must not become
your master! Unfortunately, when it comes to earning large sums of
money, most people become, hesitant thick-headed and corrupt,
allowing money to become their master, and they end up, sadly,
chasing a rainbow that has no end and, really, no beginning.
In dealing with money, most available options are limited. You
become master or slave! When you allow money to serve you, your
honor is enhanced because you have become a master of money. You
become a slave, however, when money is allowed to rule, shape and
govern your life.
People, who master the money game, are usually those whose first
order of business is self-mastery. The substantial man or woman is
never entirely motivated or seduced by the appearance of large sums
of money. The substantial individual is very much aware of his own
personal powers. He knows that money, even huge amounts, can never
buy true happiness, true love or true freedom.
Decide what role money will play in your life. Will you be money-
centered, things-centered, or principal-centered! Will money influence
your behavior or will you influence money?
Money will never serve your needs unless you take dominion over
it. By divine authority, man has been given, “dominion over the earth”.
Now, dominion means to rule, to subdue, to control. In other words, you
must control all earthly things or such things will surely control you. And
the first act of business should be to rule, subdue and control yourself!
Once you define the role money will play in your life, it then becomes
your servant, and you, its master! Declare right now that money must
become your servant, and you its master.
See It Before You Get It
Like a sweet lover, money has to be wooed and caressed. It must be
nurtured and cultivated with much tender love, care and mercy. And
again, like a sweet lover, it is not something to be played with. To be
effective, it must serve a useful purpose. You come into possession of
large sums of money only when you can feel it, and see it before it man
ifests in your life. And you must have a bona fide reason for wanting
large sums of money. You want to become a millionaire ? Why ? What
will you do with so much money?
Now that you know that money is magnetic, you must balance your
own personal magnetism in a manner to attract more money. First, you
must fix in your mind the exact amount of money you want. Then you
must hold this amount in your mind’s eye until manifestation takes
place. However, if you can neither fix an exact amount in your mind,
or hold it until the vision becomes real, you really do not want it badly
enough.
You are not serious about having large suns of money.
There is never a shortage of money, so do not fret or despair by
assuming that you will never get enough of it, or that someone will
take all of yours away. There is no need to entertain such thoughts
because what rightfully belongs to you, will always belong to you. We
live in a universe of abundance so there is never a shortage of real
abundance.
You can attract more money by (1) visualizing the amount you want
and (2) holding the vision until ,manifestation takes place. Remember
the rule; fix it, then hold it!
Any dog will respond when called by its proper name. The same
holds true for money. Never refer to money as “cabbage”, “benjamin’s”,
“bread”, “dead presidents”, etc. Call forth with great expectation the
amount of money you want, and always use the correct and proper
name; money!
Because it is magnetic and never static, or idle, money must remain
in constant circulation. It can never stand still. The greatest circulation of
money ,therefore, is found among people. Never forget that people, all
people have money, some more than others. So, you expand yourself
and your money supply by connecting with more people.
And know this much; when you connect and serve more people, more
money will show up.
Start serving more people, and watch your money roll in!
