Instant manifestation through thankfulness
By Sean | July 7, 2008
Here’ s how you can achieve instant manifestation through expressing thankfulness.
First of all, look at your desires. The things you want.
Let’s say you want a red Ferrari.
Why do you want that car? What will it do for you? How will owning and driving that car make you feel?
We can have thousands of different desires, but each desire serves to fulfil a few basic needs.
You might answer the Ferrari question:
I want to look cool!
We then apply a desire reduction process to reduce the desire to it’s core need.
And so we then ask, why do you want to look cool?
… because I want people to admire me.
Why do you want to be admired by others?
…well, I want people to like and respect me.
Why do you others to like and respect you?
…so I feel special.
Why do you want to feel special?
…so that I know that I am worthwhile.
Why do you want to feel worthwhile?
…so that I am loveable.
Why do you want to be loveable?
Isn’t it interesting that a desire for something so tangible as a Ferrari, is actually an attempt to feed the core desire for love?
Look at your desires and goals and ask yourself why you want them. Keep asking why until you get back to the core desire.
Once you have your core desire you can then work on feeding that need.
Let’s say you want to feel loved.
You can immediately give yourself the gift of love and fulfil that core need.
Simply go into a meditation, breathe and relax. Breathe love in and out, imagining the feeling of warmth and affection growing within you. And then start directing that love at the part of you that feels the need for love. You can imagine this as your child self, and that you are the older self looking after it and giving it the love that it always craved. Really get into this and use your creative power to fill your inner emptiness with love.
You may say that love requires someone else outside of you.
Incorrect.
Unconditional Love is indiscriminate. It shines in all directions. So if you start creating a loving feeling inside you (you can kickstart this by thinking of someone or something that you DO love, or COULD love and directing that love first to them and then to yourself), notice how feeling love for others makes you feel good too. As you love others you feel good, this shows the love is shining on you too. With this realization, then get into the feeling and ‘turn up the dial’ on that good inner feeling, and really shine it on yourself too, and revel in that feeling.
All kinds of religions have versions of the ‘ask and it is given’ message. This tells us that the means to your instant fulfilment is within you and always at hand.
You can take that to heart. Think what it is that you really crave, and then simply go within to the ’source and substance of all your good’. The very energy of your being is the source of your prosperity. The energy is the core fulfilment that you desire. It can take on all forms. It is infinite potential. It has what you need. Simply go within and feel that energy and feel it as the fulfilment of your desire.
This is a HIGHLY CREATIVE act.
The fundamental energy of your being is in a state of infinite potential, until you activate it one way or another with a thought or series of thoughts. Most people squander this and ruin their lives by habitually activating that energy to feel negative and unhappy. The energy responds to whatever way you use it.
You can consciously choose to activate that energy so that you feel immense unending love, joy, happiness, fulfilment, strength, health, power, prosperity etc.
Choose to see your inner energy as that which can instantly fulfil you whenever and wherever you decide.
Give yourself the experience of feeling great and having your desires instantly fulfilled by creating the joyous inner feeling of that fulfilment.
Revel in the mix of joy and thankfulness, and allow your inner experience to soar.
Does this all sound strange? Go and have a go at this. Experience what it means to be the architect of your own inner experience. Transform your life with enriched experiences of deep emotional fulfilment, launched through the creative use of your mind and gratitude.
Thank and grow rich!

Thank you for my breakfast and all those who helped provide it
By Sean | July 3, 2008
It helps to start the day with the right attitude. What is the right attitude? It’s a focus on what you can love and what you can feel grateful for.
As it’s the start of the day, I can start by feeling grateful for the breakfast I have before me.
I’ve worked out already today, and my body is hungry for fuel to replenish my muscles, fuel my brain, and build and renew my system.
Here’s what’s in my (big) breakfast bowl:
- 1 small pot of quark
- x2 organic apples
- handful of pecans
- 1 scoop of protein powder
- tablespoon of lecithin granules
- teaspoon of bee pollen
- organic oat milk
As I stop to reflect and feel grateful for the individual food stuffs that have been combined in my one bowl of food, I realize something else. That an awful lot of people have contributed to the process of allowing me to have this breakfast.
If I thank them, it enables me to realize another dimension of ‘richness’ that I was otherwise unconcious of.
Let’s see how that works…
Small pot of quark — quark is a soft creamy cheese from Germany, a bit like a more solid plain yogurt. Obviously it’s made from milk, so I can appreciate the farmer, the cows, the grass and foodstuffs that the cows ate, the sunshine, the fields that they grazed in. I can appreciate the milking machinery, the people who manufactured and assembled the tanks the milk was initially stored in. I can feel thankful for the milk lorry/truck drivers who collected the milk and delivered it to the dairy where it would be turned into quark. I can feel gratitude towards the dairy workers, the people that built and assembled the dairy plant, the food scientists that work on the recipes and ensure the health and hygiene of the plant and the products. The quark has to be packed into pots, that have foil lids on, and plastic lids over that. People are involved in the manufacture and design of those pots, and the marketing and informational text and designs on the labels. There are buyers who buy the quark wholesale and deliver it to the hubs of supermarket chains. The product could have come from Germany (I don’t know if it did) so there were all kinds of people and vehicles that aided that process. It was delivered to my local supermarket. People unpacked the quark boxes and arranged it on the supermarket cold shelves so that I could see it and buy it. Thanks everyone!
x2 organic apples — these apples come from another country. They were grown in strict organic conditions in a carefully tended orchard. They were carefully picked by hand or machine. I can appreciate the hard work of the pickers or the ingenuity of whoever designed and invented the picking machine, and the operator. A chain of people from farmer to buyer to wholesale storage to international shipment to local wholesale storage to supermarket delivery and ultimate display were all involved in me having these 2 chopped apples in my breakfast bowl. That is a whole multi-million dollar army of people and machinery working for me…to deliver me two fresh juicy apples this morning. Isn’t that amazing?
Pecans — a similar process occurred for the pecan nuts. A whole different supply chain was involved in that. Thank you — I love pecans!
Protein Powder — I buy this from a website on the internet that specializes in foods for body builders and athletes. Going to source I once again appreciate the different herds of cows that contributed the milk products that were then used to manufacture the protein powder. I am grateful to the food scientists who carefully analysed the food stuffs to work out a formula that would help deliver maximum health to the muscles in a tasty food drink. I am grateful for their skill and machinery that enables them to isolate specific health-boosting parts of milk, and their ability to turn it into a fine powder that one can mix into milk or water to have a tasty nutritious drink. Again this was imported, so I am thankful we live in a world where we can buy foods from other countries. I am grateful to those who have made it their business to deliver and transport foods from one place to another. This all contributes to my sense of living in an abundant rich world. I am grateful also to the internet company, SNCDirect, for their ever reliable, next-day delivery service. Are you starting to get a feel for how deep this gratitude can go, and what it means to you to realise just-how-rich-you-ARE!
Lecithin granules — thank you to whatever scientists discovered how to isolate the lecithin within soy and provide it in a granulated format that I can sprinkle on my breakfast. Thank you for the knowledge that lecithin helps dissolve and utilise fats in the body, and for the understanding of how beneficial it is to the brain and sex organs. Thank you to the companies that manufacture it, and supply it in tins via health stores and chemists.
Bee pollen — I just love this buzzy-buzzy food which bees make from collecting pollen from flowers. Natural health practitioners know that taking bee pollen can help prevent or lessen the effects of hay fever. It is so rich with nutrients, it’s brilliant for boosting your energy — and is something of an aphrodisiac, so watch out ladies! I’m of course grateful to the sunshine, flowers and rain, to the bees that buzzed merrily along gathering all these tiny grains, to the apiarists (bee keepers) for caring for the bees and harvesting their products, to the jar makers, wholesalers, exporters and importers, distributors and health shops where I buy the pollen from. Thank you for this wonderful food, thank you for making it readily available to me. I am so lucky and blessed.
Organic oat milk — this is something that I have only recently been buying from the supermarket. The oat fibre in it helps lower cholestrol. I’m not sure where it is grown, but I like thinking of the sweeping fields of oats reaching up towards the sun, swaying in the breeze. Then there is the farmer carefully tending them using organic principles (thus ensuring that I get to experience his food product free of pesticides and chemicals). The oats were harvested and collected and milled somehow, delivered to the various places that would make use of them. In this instance, the oats were mixed with water through whatever process they use, and the ‘milk’ collected and put into cartons. These go to wholesalers and then to specific supermarket chains. Of course there are all the people involved in marketing the product, the food scientists, the manufacturing staff, the various delivery services, all the machinery and vehicles used in the whole venture… then there are the shop staff who figured out that this product would be one that people, like me, would appreciate and buy, who ordered it, priced it, arrayed it and sold it to me. To that whole legion of people involved in delivering the ‘milk’ for my breakfast — thank you. You have enriched me!
The unseen army working for YOU!
I think this shows you in a very graphic way, just how blessed we are. You are surrounded by things right now which are only there because a whole load of people worked hard to deliver it to you. As you start looking at these upstream sources of your enjoyment of each and every product you own or use, you realise more and more layers of your own incredible wealth.
Look at the sequences of events that have had to happen to allow you to have the use of the computer you are on now. We live in a world of effects. Learn to appreciate the causes and you will greatly enrich your life.
Thank and grow rich!

Thank you for my fears
By Sean | June 20, 2008
Thank you for my fears.
They keep me humble.
They remind me what I haven’t faced.
They show me where I still have some growing to do.
Fears are my invitation to grow. Fears are my challenge.
And I am grateful for them.
What compares with the thrill you feel when you face a fear and go beyond it?
That’s excitement. That’s real joy. The joy of triumphing over limitations.
What am I afraid of? I’m afraid of not having enough; not being good enough; of being hurt. I am afraid of rejection. There are so many forms of fears, so many things that trigger it.
How can I be thankful for something that is so painful and limiting to experience? After all, nobody LIKES to feel afraid, do they?
No? What about all you thrill seekers on the rollacoaster? At the movies, watching a horror flick? Reading that thriller that terrifies you but you can’t put it down?
That’s the way to treat fear. As a form of entertainment. As a game. As play.
Welcome it, rejoice in it, be thankful for it. Fear is your worst enemy, until you welcome it like a friend. Then it dissolves and melts into something else. You’ll experience tremendous energy: joy, love, confidence, exhilaration.
Thank God for your creative mental power. You can turn the nasties into nice things. You can turn fear and limitation into love and success. Rejoice in the life you are given: fears and all.
Thank and Grow Rich!
