What are Spiritual Guidelines?
Spiritual Guidelines are Spiritual Laws or Universal Truths or
Principles of Life and Living that are non-alterable, non-changeable, non-
breakable and non-conformable. If they are broken, altered, changed or
conformed, then there are consequences. We prefer to use the term,
Guidelines, because even though they are Laws on some level, they really
are guidelines for us to follow to live better lives.
These Guidelines work for everyone, regardless of ethnic or
cultural background, country of birth, or religious choice. They work in
all phases of our lives all of the time.
They never stop working. They work whether you are aware of
them or not, whether you are using them consciously or don't care at all.
There is no avoiding them; they work even if you don't want them to.
As Spiritual Beings, we intuitively know these Guidelines to be the
Truths we have always lived with and will continue to follow on our
journey. By consciously including these Truths into a daily routine,
such as creating a project (like baking a cake or designing a building),
settling a dispute between children, or praying and meditating, the
Guidelines work for us.
How do we know the Guidelines are working?
As you consciously begin to use the Guidelines in your life, you will
begin to feel the changes immediately. You will start to notice changes in
the people around you. You also become acutely aware of your
surroundings. This may please or displease you, however the case may
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 6/41
6
be. The changes are sometimes very subtle at first, but they become
more and more obvious.
You may feel that some of the people in your life have changed. (They
haven't really, but you have.) You may begin to experience restlessness,
a desire to make additional changes and you become more and more
eager to try some of the other Laws.
A word of caution here; this is all part of a process, an evolutionary
process. As with any process, it needs to develop in progressive stages.
Anyone who builds buildings knows the necessity for a firm foundation
so that the building will survive and withstand all that is directed toward
it. You, like that building, need to have a firm foundation on which to
begin the building of this 'new you'...
As you begin this 'new adventure' in building a 'new you',
(although this cannot really be called 'new' because you have already
been working with these Truths your entire existence), we will instead
use the term 'new awareness' and begin there; to gain this 'new
awareness' you need to begin with the basics.... the foundation upon
which all the other Guidelines build, although the Truths or Guidelines
will also stand uniquely individual in themselves.
How do I know which ones to use?
Begin at the beginning...the basics, even though you may be
tempted to start in another area, it is always better to build that firm
foundation first. Then when you feel confident that things are working

Invariably, when something is "off" in my life, I always return to the
basic Prosperity Guidelines and that seems to get me back on track...
And, they are such simple, wonderful Guidelines, Laws or Truths, or
Rules, or Ideals... How you decide to implement them into your daily
living is entirely up to you. You may prefer to take one Guideline, read it
through and think about it for a while. Or, you may decide to commit it
to memory and work with it that way. Perhaps just knowing that there is
such a Guideline and filing it away for future reference will be all that
you can do at this present moment.
These Guidelines encompass all religions
There are many ways to interpret these Guidelines and the
terminology used. We ask that you interpret them from your own point
of view, from your own belief system, from where you are right now on
your own spiritual journey. From this perspective, it will be easier,
simpler and better for you to interpret them using your own point of
reference. Then they will have a deeper and more meaningful experience
for you.
There is no dogma attached to these Guidelines. There is no right
or wrong way to use them... They are yours to use as you wish. That is
why they were given in such a straight forward manner. Used within this
simple framework given here, you will feel the essence of the Truth from
whatever belief system you choose.
After much on-going deliberation, we choose to use the word
Source in this text to represent the One Source that the great world
religions refer to. Whether the word is: God from the Christian religion;
Adonai from the Jewish religion; Allah from the Muslim; Ekoamkar from

the Sikh; or Rama or Krishna from the Hindu, all mean the same thing.
The word choice is yours
As true Spiritual Beings on the evolutionary pathway in search of
Self, these Truths or Guidelines belong to each and every one of us.
There is no bias nor bigotry nor selectivity anywhere in them. There is
only simple, direct, unpretentious
Divine Love,
Grace,
And Wisdom.
Let’s begin:

Spiritual Guidelines for
Prosperity and Abundance
Everyone needs prosperity in their lives, even the most dedicated hermit.
Prosperity does not always mean money. What is prosperity? How do
you define it? Each individual needs to define his/her own according to
where they are at this particular stage in their growth.
True Prosperity is health, wealth, love and success.
The amount of these that you have in your life
is the measure of your prosperity.
You may also define it as housing, a career, money, friends,
relationships, love..... However you describe prosperity for yourself...
Your prosperity is a reflection of how you see yourself and your life right
in this very moment.
Whenever your life is “out-of-balance” and nothing seems to be going
right: your job/career, your relationships, and your finances are all in a
muddle, you need to return to the basics, the foundations upon which
you have built your life. Your basic belief systems are teetering and you
need to reaffirm your foundation. Go back and review the basic
concepts. Remember, true prosperity is: health, wealth, love and
success. The amount of these that you have in your life is the measureof your prosperity. Your prosperity (what you see around yourself) is a
reflection of what you are creating inside of yourself. (Your belief
systems, what you believe to be true in your world).

Guideline #1 – One Source
Source is: “place of origin, prime cause...” *Webster’s Dictionary
There is only One Source, one place of origin, one prime cause.
Whatever name that Source is given, whatever name any belief system
uses: Universe, God, Lord, Eternal One, Yahweh, Allah, Brahman,
Father, Mother, Spirit, Ekoamkar, Rama, Adonai, Universal
Consciousness, The Force, The Creator, Creative Force, Energy,
Universal Spirit, The One Source, etc... All are originated from the same
Source... (Please forgive me if I have omitted any)
Everything originates from this central, prime cause; every
thought, every word, every speck of matter, every person, every item that
we use, every thing that you can imagine; the planets, the stars, the
grass, the oceans, the mountains, everything in the universes originates
from this one source.
There is nothing that is or has ever been in existence that has not
originated from this one place of origin, this one prime cause. Everything
yet to be created will be created from this same Source.
No exceptions!
“But,” you argue, “my paycheck comes from my company where Iwork… my boss gives it to me at each end of the pay period.” True, and
that is how it appears in the third dimensional reality. In another reality,
this is the channel through which Source sends you this
abundance/prosperity which you have “earned’. Note the energy
exchange here!

Guideline #2 – Prosperity
“To prosper: to succeed, to thrive”, *Webster’s Dictionary
The measure of your own prosperity is determined by the amount
of health, wealth, love and success you are currently experiencing in
your life right now. Whatever your definition of prosperity: wealth,
employment, housing, career, money, friendship, love, success, health...
Source’s unending supply is the very foundation upon which your
prosperity rests. This will help you focus your attention on knowing all
that you have comes from Source and through Source all things are
possible.
How is your prosperity? What have you created in your life that
reflects this? Look around you and see just what you have manifested
for yourself. Are you surrounded with a lovely place to live and work?
Do you have a comfortable vehicle to drive you to wherever you need to
go? Are you surrounded with loving family and friends? How do you
feel about what you have manifested in your life right now? Are you
happy with what you see? Are you enjoying what you have manifested?
Or are you still waiting for your prosperity to happen? Waiting for when
the mortgage is paid off or the children are finished with college? Or the
credit card debt is paid?
Where is your prosperity? Where does it come from? It comesfrom a purely spiritual basis. It is manifested physically and mentally
but it comes from One Source. The basis of this Law of Prosperity is the
beginning of knowing and believing that Source is your one and only
means for everything and through Source you will receive whatever it is
that you need or ask for. Source's unending supply is the very
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 13/41
13
foundation upon which your prosperity rests and there is more than
enough to go around for everybody, no kidding! .
Whatever your personal definition of prosperity; employment,
career, housing, money, friendship, love, success, health, wealth... Know
that all of this comes from the One Source. It does not come from your
employer, or your parents or your spouse or partner. They are only the
channels through which your prosperity flows...
Prosperity is not a sin. Some of us have been conditioned by our
own belief systems to think that prosperity and abundance are a bad
thing and that we don’t deserve to be prosperous. We have been
conditioned to believe that we are supposed to struggle and do without
whatever it is that we really want. Is this a belief that you want to foster?
Is this what you want to believe? Sometimes this “conditioning” comes
from childhood beliefs, beliefs that there is never enough, that living in
Lack is normal and a natural thing.
It is good to be prosperous! Know that you deserve to be prosperous!
Prosperity is your Divine Birthright. You were not born into this lifetime
to be a condition of poverty or strife. You were born to be prosperous. As
a newborn baby and growing up through childhood you were taught
basic beliefs. Whatever you learned will give you an idea of where some
of your beliefs came from and which ones you need to change. And you
can change them…. Begin with these Laws, the Basic ones offered here
and see how remarkably quick your life can change. It always amazesme how easy it is to get my life back on track. There are no mistakes,
there are no wrong ways of doing things.

Guideline #3 - Gratitude
“Thankfulness... to express appreciation...” Webster’s Dictionary
When you are truly grateful for all that you have in your life and
give thanks for it, you raise your level of consciousness. Until now, you
have probably just taken all of the things in your life for granted. Things
such as: where you are right now on this planet, the trees, grass, birds,
your home, your family, the people in your life, your work, your car, right
down to the lacings in your sneakers. Remember in the first part, I
asked you what you had created in your life? I asked you if you were
happy with what you are manifesting in your life right now? Are you
taking advantage of what you have in your life? Rhonda Bryne ---- who
is the creator of the book and film, “The Secret” has added to this via her
website two words that she claims can change your life, and she is
correct. Those two words are: Thank you! Amazing how two small
words of 5 + 3 = 8 letters total can change your life? The number 8, by
the way, is abundance and prosperity!
Now you can get your legal pad or notebook and pencils because we are
ready for the next step. How to change your life!
How do you do this??? Take your “tools” (the legal pad or notebook
and pencil from above) and write down 10 things (we will start with 10
because that is an easy way to begin) that you are really thankful for in your life. If you cannot come up with at least 10, then Angels, we have a
problem! If you want to continue with more things, you can do it later or
take the time right now while you are on a roll!!!!
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 16/41
16
Now, begin with each item that you wrote down and give thanks for
it. Say, “Thank you for _________________”. And mean it and feel it.
Don’t throw the list away because you will need it for tomorrow. Put it
somewhere in a safe place.
Tomorrow, make another list of 10 things, and do the same thing...
Clues for you...list everything; your living space, your family, your
friends, your enemies... (Yes, even them), your job, the people you work
with, your pets, the list will be quite long. If you do at least 10 things
each day for a week you have a good start. (Keep the lists; you will be
using them again.)
By using this Guideline called Gratitude and sending your thanks
out into the universe, you open up the channels to receive more. Here is
the key to this: If you are not grateful for what you already have and give
thanks for it, then why should Source send you anymore??? Usually
when you start to adapt this Guideline in your life, you are in awe of the
amount of things you really do have to be grateful for.
A little reminder here, this is a continuous process. Each time
you go shopping, each time you write a check, give grateful thanks to
Source for the wonderful things that you have just purchased... or for the
money in your account that has been placed in your safe keeping to be
used wisely. Give thanks especially when you pay your bills. For each
thing that you do, give thanks. Maintain a grateful, thankful heart and
you will open the flood gates of abundance and prosperity in your life.
If you give thanks for that which is, then that which will be, comes.
“I give thanks, I give thanks, I give thanks...”

Hint: Get the lists you were working on…..
Guideline # 4 - Blessing
“To make holy, to ask divine favor for, to endow, to make happy, to
praise...” Webster’s Dictionary
The next step after you have given grateful thanks for everything
and everyone (those lists you have been creating!) is to bless them... yes,
even though you have already given your thanks, you will want to go one
step further and do the blessing thing…
You probably will only have to do this blessing part once for each thing
on your list at this time, later there may be someone or something that
will really need your blessings, but figuratively speaking, the lists that
you are working with right now only needs to be blessed once.
This list should also include people, places and things in your life
both from the past and the present. (Hint: if there was someone in your
life that was particularly troublesome or treated you badly, include them
on the list). If there is someone or something in your life presently that
you are not overly fond of or you just don’t like them at all, include them
in the list. Remember to include the people that you love dearly, family
and friends alike. If you are involved in a relationship that has become
uncomfortable or unwanted and you are not certain how to change it orend it, include that.
Blessing anything sets up a flow of energy that goes out into the
universe and in turn, blesses you. By blessing someone or something,
you are making it holy or sacred; you are asking that it be given divine
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 18/41
18
favor. This is especially important if you have a person in your life that
is being difficult. Before they can be released from your life, you need to
bless them. (Trust this process, it really works!)
This is a very easy procedure... You just think of that person in
your mind, and say the following:
"I Bless You, ____________________,
And I bless your Divine Spirit within you."
That is all there is to it.
Blessing everything, even the most insignificant thing, sets up a flow of
energy that in turn, blesses you. In blessing someone or something, you
make it holy - you ask that it be given Divine Favor.
This will remind you to start this perfect minute by blessing everything
and everyone that is in or has been in your life. Remember, you only
have to do this lengthy process once here. Hold the list in your hand,
read the first entry and ask that it be blessed. “Bless this room where I
stand.” “Bless my car.” “Bless my dear friend, ____.” You have the idea
now. It is not as difficult as you think. The rewards are tremendous!!!

Guideline # 6 - Prayer
“A reverent petition made to a deity; to make a fervent request for
something; to beseech or implore...” Webster’s Dictionary
This Guideline is one of the most basic Truths. You can and
should use it anytime, anywhere. Prayer is your direct phone line to
Source.... Are you getting a busy signal, are you on 'hold', or is there no
answer??? Perhaps you need to examine the prayers that you are
sending out into the Universe. Carefully think about what you are
saying in your prayers.
Prayers are very powerful. The key to prayers: when you do pray,
pray with the belief that Source is listening and that your prayers will be
answered. Prayers from the heart are much more effective than prayers
of supplication. (Whining)
Prayers for others that come from your heart are very powerful and
go into your 'prayer bank account' to be returned to you when you are in
need of prayers. (A note: don't just pray for others without meaning or
with false or negative intent, for there will always be consequences.)
Prayers are really conversations with Source, a dialogue that you
create between yourself and Your Higher Beings (your Angels, Guardian
Angel, Ascended Masters and Spirit Guides)... If it is just idle chatter,then nothing much will come of it... Prayers of thanks, gratitude and
blessings are always heard. Prayers for healing for others and yourself
are especially important. A key element to any prayer is your Intent .
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 21/41
21
People ask sometimes why their prayers are not answered or they
never get what they pray for. Sometimes prayers are answered in a way
that you never dreamed possible or expected but it is what you needed in
your life at that time. Just know that all prayers are answered.
Sometimes the answers are delayed because the timing is not correct or
the recipient is not ready to accept the answer. But prayers are always
answered. Maybe not the way you want them to be answered, but they
are answered all the same.
Guideline # 7 - Giving
“To make a present of; to place in the hands of; to deliver in exchange
for; to convey; to grant or bestow...” Webster’s
This is a reminder to practice the art of giving. It really doesn’t matter
what you give if it is given in love. A smile, a hug, a word of
encouragement... when you give for the pure joy of giving, you set into
motion a powerful energy that illuminates from you to help everyone
around you.
There is a compounding factor here for you to be aware of:
What you give comes back to you.
“I give generously and graciously.”
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 22/41
22
This Guideline of Giving is a very rewarding way to stay in the flow
of the universe. When you give generously and graciously expecting
nothing in return, there is something about doing that which makes you
feel good inside. What you give needn't be expensive; a hug, a smile, a
word of encouragement sometimes is all that is necessary. Whatever you
give, give from the heart. Give for the pure joy of making someone else
happy. Give to make someone smile. Give to make someone laugh. One
of life's most beautiful treasures is a crumpled up dandelion held out to
you in the hand of a small child.
Giving to someone we love is always easy. Giving to someone we
have negative feelings for is a little more difficult. Giving a smile to that
person or a pleasant greeting is one way to begin to change those
feelings. When you give with anger or hostility that distorts things.
When you give from the heart with love for the pure joy of giving,
you set in motion an astounding compounding factor.
What you give comes back to you.
(When you give anger and hostility that comes back to you, too.)
Note: Also remember that the more you give, the more that is returned to
you.

Guideline # 8 - Receiving
Receiving is the balance of the Giving. To stay in the flow, and to
help others stay in the flow, you must also learn to receive. Practice
receiving the blessings of Source each day; the song of a bird, a wild
flower, a friend’s invitation to lunch. This Guideline will help you open
up and start to receive the unlimited blessings of the universe that are
yours by divine right. Throughout this day and those that follow, repeat
this little affirmation.
“I am open and receptive to accept all of the good
and abundance in the Universe.”
Receiving is very difficult for a lot of people especially if they are
used to giving. To stay in the flow, and to help others stay in the flow, it
is important that you learn to receive. Begin with small things, hearing
the song of a bird and appreciating it, seeing the beauty in the clouds.
Practice receiving the blessings of Source each day. When you begin to
receive these blessings, more will follow.
Be open and receptive when someone smiles at you and when
someone gives you a compliment. Acknowledge and accept these things
as part of your training in learning how to receive. It is also part of the
training for the giver in learning how to give. Obviously, Receiving is the
balance of the Guideline of Giving and it is their act of giving that keepsthem in the flow. To keep yourself and OTHERS in the flow, it is very
important that you receive from them graciously from the heart. If you
receive gifts from others with an ungracious attitude, you will block your
flow and the flow of the giver. Sad lesson to learn, but very true!
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 24/41
24
When you open up to receive, you send a wave of energy out into
the universe to send you blessings of good and abundance. You are
surrounded with good and abundance all of the time. You merely have
to open up and be receptive to receive it. Good and abundance will not
come to you until you are open and ready to receive. Once you begin this
process, watch and see the marvelous things that will begin to happen to
you. And they do, trust me!!!
Guideline #9 - Increase
Everything that you presently have in your life can be increased....
if you are living in abundance, you can increase this (who cannot use a
little more abundance?). If you are living in lack, poverty, sickness, you
have the ability to increase this also. Whatever you want in your life, you
have the ability to increase it....
Think about what you already have in your life right now. Do you
want more of this? Acknowledge and give thanks for it, no matter what it
is and know that you can either increase it or change it.
If you want to increase it, you only have to let your thoughts,
words, actions and behavior determine this. If you wish to increase the
abundance in your life, you need to think and speak about having total
abundance. Say "I have plenty of money.” think "I have plenty of money."
You need to act like you have plenty of money and not put that item backon the shelf, but purchase it, because you have 'plenty of money'. Your
wardrobe should reflect that you have 'plenty of money'. It may not be
'designer' yet (if that is what you want) but it can be clean and pressed
and looking wealthy.
8/12/2019 Copy of Prosperity Workbook 5-09
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 25/41
25
If, on the other hand, you decide to have an increase in poverty,
lack and sickness...you can do that also.
The choice is yours.
Acknowledge what you already have,
Give thanks for it, and know it is yours.
Whatever you say is yours,
is
and will increase.
Your actions, words, and behavior will determine your abundance or
lack. If you think, act, say and believe you are wealthy, (or poor), then
you will be.
“Thank you, Source, for the good I have and the good I continue
to receive.”
This is a very interesting concept and one that you might want to
experiment with… Just look around you and note what you have
created. Now look closely and see if you have increased it over the lastfew months… I always like to look at my wardrobe… whatever you focus
on, increases.. Did this happen to you? My closet is stuffed!!!!

Guideline #10 - Lack
“To be deficient in or entirely without,” Webster’s definition of lack.
Sad as it seems, this is one of the Truths or Laws of the Universe
and it is your choice if you wish to support this in your life. We are
keeping this as a Guideline, in case you choose to use it in your life…
The way to NOT support this Truth in your life is to carefully
monitor your words and thoughts. Who among us has not had poverty
thoughts? "I don't have any _____." "There isn't enough______" "I can't
afford ______"
"Eat everything on your plate. There is some child starving somewhere,"
and many, many more. These are not easy thoughts and words to
overcome but you can with practice and determination.
Each time you catch yourself using one of these phrases, change
the unwanted phrase to: "I have plenty of______" "There is more than
enough_____" "I can afford this______, but I choose to do this first." and
so on. As you monitor and change these thoughts and words, the
Universe becomes aware that you no longer support lack in your life and
will send you what you do want in your life.
By the way, you do not have to eat everything on your plate. That
choice is yours, also.
If you are experiencing lack in your life, it is because you are
creating lack. Write down and monitor what you are saying and thinking
for the rest of this day and see if there are phrases like:

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 27/41

“I don’t have...” “I can’t afford...” “There isn’t enough...”
And change these phrases to:
“I have...” “I can afford...” “There is plenty...” “I have more than
enough...”
This is one of my favorites because, as a child, I was brought up in a
poverty thinking home which is not unusual for that time in history.
When I was born in 1937, the Great Depression had schooled my parents
well, then WW 2 came and times were difficult, those were the formative
years for me and Lack was certainly something that remained with me
through my lifetime as it did for countless others. Looking back, I can
see the beliefs that were created and they still surface from time to time.
It really is a “frame of mind” attitude.
Grab that notebook and begin to monitor what you are thinking and
what your thoughts and beliefs are about Lack… You will be surprised.
What can you do about it? How can you change this Lack mentality?
Very simply by changing your thoughts and beliefs. When you stand
looking at that nice new car and want it so badly you have a choice. You
can say and think: “I can’t afford a car like this.” Or you can say, “I love
this car. Someday I will have one like it.” Pick up a picture of this car
and take it home with you and put it onto your Treasure Mapping board.
By doing this, you accomplish two things. First, you are no longer
having Lack thoughts about the car. Second, you are telling Universe
that you would really like this car in your life. They (the Angels) will take
it from there… you just have to believe that it will happen for you
someday.
The next Guideline will definitely give you a better idea as to how this
works…

Guideline #11 - Support
“To encourage or help...” Webster’s Dictionary
Source is here to support you in whatever you choose to do. If you
need someone to assist you in some endeavor, that person will be sent to
you. If you feel that you cannot finish what you started, someone will be
sent to encourage you to try again. If you choose to start a new venture,
the help will be sent. No matter what you decide to do, when you need
support to accomplish it, then it will be given to you.
Don't become anxious and ask how or why or when...just know
that Source and Your Higher Beings will handle all of the details.
It is always amazing how this just happens if you allow it to. Try it
and see for yourself. The big words here are BELIEVE that it will happen
and TRUST 'Them' to take care of the details.
If your intent is pure and you choose to do something that is for
the good of others, then Trust and believe that your support is
forthcoming.
There is really nothing that you cannot accomplish with pure
intent. Trust and Know that you are TOTALLY SUPPORTED in anything
you may wish to do. If the endeavor is for the Good of others, then expectthat it will happen.
Amazing how all of this just comes together and happens almost
effortlessly.

Here is another one that you will be amazed with!
Guideline #12 - Supply
“To furnish, provide, to meet the needs of...” Webster’s Dictionary
This Guideline may appear to be redundant to the first Guideline,
Source. I had also thought the same thing and was intent on omitting it.
I did, in fact do just that when Source took over and pushed me to re-
read one of the basic books "Open Your Mind to Prosperity", by Catherine
Ponder. How quickly we forget and how important it is that we return to
the basic Laws.
SOURCE IS THE MEANS FOR ALL THAT IS
and
SUPPLY IS WHAT IS GIVEN FROM THE SOURCE.
Both are unlimited.
That is the key, that is the secret to this one… there is no limit to the
supply from Source.. none at all….
Another note...three times I tried to make the above caps normal printand three times Source wanted them capitalized...Which only points out
how very important these two Laws really are.
When you believe and trust Source to be your only means and
your only supply, then you will indeed prosper. It is only when you turn

Guideline #13 - Abundance
Webster defines abundance as: “Great plenty... more than enough.”
Did you know that you are constantly surrounded with good and
abundance? This abundance is yours (we keep telling you) whenever you
are ready to accept it. There isn't anything that you are lacking in your
life at this present moment or is there?
Everything that you have in your life at this present time is what
your consciousness requires and what your level of consciousness has
requested or asked for. This is what you feel that you deserve and what
you feel you should have in your life at this present time. If you are
having feelings of wanting more, then your consciousness is changing
and expanding.
At this point, it is very important that you determine the difference
between ‘needs’ and 'wants'.
If you feel that you do not have all that you 'need', then you
probably should sit down and review where and what your needs are at
this time in your life. These change constantly and it is a good thing to
do this frequently.
After reviewing your needs and making notes as to what new, ifany, needs you require, now see what your 'wants' are, which ones you
need to keep and which ones should be discarded or put on hold for
later. Once you determine this, all you have to do is ask for what you
need. It is as simple as that!!! You can now open yourself up to accept
what Universe has to offer. You are surrounded with unlimited blessings

of abundance. This abundance is yours whenever you are ready to
accept it.
You will receive all that you need to live a full, happy and successful life.
Remember that the key word here is NEED!!!
Interestingly enough, we all get caught up in the “I want, I need
syndrome”. Determining which is want and which is need is sometimes
difficult. Sometimes I am caught up in that syndrome, and have to stop
and consider what exactly I am asking for. New tires on my car are a
need. Sporty racing tires are not!!! For me anyhow!!! But that doesn’t
mean that I don’t ‘think’ I need sporty racing tires… (I have a Mini
Cooper S and enjoy putting her through her paces) You get the idea!!!!
The Mini Cooper took me 2 months to manifest. My son-in-law came
home with one and I wanted one in the worst way! I put the request on a
post-it-note into my treasure map folder and had to do a lot of “lack
belief changing” in my consciousness. As it turned out, the wonderful
people at the dealership went to auction and brought me home the one I
have. The Angels did a terrific job choosing one for me. How do I know
this to be true? The VIN number for the car is 33444among other
numbers. 33 is a Master number and those numbers also represent
Christ Light. 444 signifies the Angels. One more sign! The insignia for
a Mini is a circle with the word “Mini” set in the center of a pair of wings.
What would you think?
How did I manifest the house in Florida??? I had placed a map of Florida
into my folder along with a picture of a Hacienda… want to know how to
do this? See the next page…

TREASURE MAPPING
For any of you who have not had the pleasure of “Treasure
Mapping” let me show you how it is done. Treasure Mapping is a
process where you take images of what you want in your life, put them
on a board and look at it to help visualize these items in your life. This is
done for anything you desire to come into your life; a new car, a boat, a
house, a vacation, a new relationship (although those are better handled
in a different way discussed in the book on Relationships).
Begin with a large poster board and a pile of magazines. Cut out
the images you want from the magazines and paste them onto the poster
board. Hang the board somewhere where you can see it daily and be
certain to look at it to visualize the items in your life. After 21 to 30
days, you can put the poster board away somewhere for safe keeping. Be
certain to check it again in a few months to see how many of the images
have materialized!!! Surprised?? Absolutely. In one of my folders (I
mentioned it on the last page) I had a picture of a Hacienda with a tiled
roof all made out of stucco in a very warm climate. Guess where I am
living now!!! In Florida in a stucco house with a tiled roof!!! Fun???
Absolutely.
Because I live a busy life and am always multi-tasking most of the time
and who isn’t, I came up with a shortcut. I just don’t have time to cut
out pictures or rather I don’t take the time to do it anymore. I take anoffice file folder and a package of post-it notes and do my treasure
mapping that way… It still works it just isn’t all that pretty and colorful..
However you choose to do this, it is your intent and desire that carry the
weight. It is the thought that you put into it that counts. Happy
Treasure Mapping!!!

Guideline #14 - Tithing
Are you in a financial crisis again? Is your indebtedness growing
instead of diminishing??? Is it time to invoke:
10 - the magic number of increase?
This is a very important Guideline. Tithing literally keeps you in
the flow and encourages you to allow the good of the Universe to flow
THROUGH you. When you tithe 10% of your gross income, you are
paying Universe for the abundance that you received. You can tithe
time, or talent also, if you do not have income at the present time...
"As you tithe, so you prosper."
When you give consistently to where you receive your spiritual
growth, you open your way to receive more blessings in your life. The
number ten is the magic number of increase (10)... and what you tithe
returns to you increased at least ten times. This concept dates back to
Ancient times when 10% of crops or harvest were tithed.
Money is only a form of energy. It needs to be kept in the flow,
also. A good thing to remember each time you give or receive money,
(even when you pay your bills) is to bless each item and give thanks forit. Be thankful for your bills, because someone trusts you enough to
know you will pay them in a timely manner. Bless your paycheck each
time it arrives and bless and give thanks for each check or money
transaction that you make... keep your money and yourself in the flow...

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/copy-of-prosperity-workbook-5-09 35/41
35
If your flow is slowing down or has come to a dead stop, then you
probably need to “prime the pump” so to speak, to get the flow moving
again and keep it flowing. Go and get a glass jar or something to hold
coins. You can tie a purple ribbon around it if you wish (purple signifies
the universal flow of abundance) and write or type the following on a
piece of paper:
“I bless and give thanks for this coin as a symbol of Source’s good. I
send it out to be returned to me multiplied, I am also blessed.”
Now tape or paste the paper with the statement onto the jar for the coins.
Each time you have a spare coin, hold it in your hand, say the little
prayer and drop the coin into the jar. When the jar is full, you can
donate it somewhere, a church or chapel….
When your checkbook is running on empty or almost empty, tithe
what is left and send it off with love and the expectation that Source will
send you at least that amount or more…. It is usually doubled or
multiplied by 10.
The rules for tithing are: Tithe Time, Treasure or Talent… people
tend to forget that you need to keep money (energy) in the flow… Tithing
insures that you do just that. Many self-made millionaires tithe and
would not even think of doing otherwise. In ancient days, the villagers
tithed part of the crops to the church or one of their Gods. They knew
what they were doing. They were doing it so that Universe would smileupon them and grant a fruitful harvest the following year… not a bad
idea!
Happy Tithing to all!

Guideline #15 - Restoration
Webster’s definition of restore - “To make beautiful again.”
There is no ‘loss’ in the universe. You can never lose your good. If you
think that you have lost your good through some person or situation, let
it go and be prepared for a new good to enter. Sometimes your good
simply changes form because you have outgrown it. Check to see if you
might be harboring any thoughts of ‘loss’ in your past and release the
problem and let it go. Your good is always returned to you, just as a rose
bush will always give new roses even though some of them have been
cut. For every loss there is a gain. Look for that gain.
“All my good is waiting to be restored to me. I am open and receptive to
receive this restored good. I give thanks.”
This Guideline helps us to understand that nothing that belongs to
us or that is due to us is ever lost. You can never lose your 'good'. Even
though you may feel that someone or something has taken your good or
what you feel belongs to you, never fear, if it truly belongs to you, it will
be returned to you. If you have lost your good through some person or
situation (a divorce or perhaps a family disagreement), let it go and be
prepared for a new good to enter your life. (And it is usually a far better
good!!!)
Sometimes we outgrow the good we lost earlier in our lives and it isreturned to us in a different form. If you lost your tricycle when you were
four, and you are now twelve and somebody gives you a bike, you
certainly wouldn't want that bike to be the same size as the tricycle now,
would you?

For every loss there is a gain. One door closes, another opens...
an adult dies, a child is born... what ever is lost to you is always
restored. Look for that restored good. It may be in a different form, but
value for value, it will be restored back to you...
SUMMARY
1. Source is the one and only Source in our lives and it is from this
Source that all things originate.
2. Prosperity has a spiritual basis and come from One Source. It
includes health, wealth, love and success.
3. Gratitude is appreciating what you already have and giving thanks
for it. If you are grateful for what you already have, then more will come.
4. Blessing everyone and everything you have in your life gives it divine
favor and it in turn blesses you. In order to release anything or anyone
in your life that you no longer want or desire, you need to bless them,
also.
5. Elimination is a very necessary part of prosperity. You need to clearout old things, thoughts, and actions and create that perfect vacuum
before anything new is sent to you.

6. Prayer is your direct line to Source. Whatever you ask in prayer, you
will receive if you believe. Think carefully about the prayers you are
sending.
7. Giving is the best way to stay in the flow of universal energy. The
compounding factor with giving is whatever you give out comes back to
you.
8. Receiving is the balance of giving. Receiving is sometimes a difficult
thing. When you are open to receive from others, you help that other
person and yourself stay in the flow of universal blessings.
9. Increase in your life is your choice. Your actions, words and behavior
will determine what you increase in your life.
10. Lack, unfortunately, is a Truth or Law and you can support it in
your life if you choose to. Monitor carefully any words of lack that you
may be speaking or thinking.
11. Support comes from Source for anything you choose to do in your
life. If you are in need of someone to assist you, then someone will be
sent to you for just that purpose.
12. Supply is what is sent from Source and that supply is unlimited.
There is always supply to meet any demand, no matter who requests it.
13. Abundance is everything that is surrounding you at this very
minute and it is yours whenever you are ready to accept it. All you need
to do is ask... it is a simple as that.

14. Tithing is very necessary to keep you in the flow of the universe.
Money is only a form of energy and it needs to stay in the flow, also. If
your finances are in a mess, you may need to examine where and how
much you are tithing. You can also tithe time and talent if you have no
income at the present time. Remember to bless your bills and bless your
paycheck.
15. Restoration: Nothing is ever lost to you, nor can anyone take away
what is yours. Even if years go by, your good will always be restored to
you. It may not come back to you in the same form, but it will be
restored to you value for value.
There are many books and tapes available that will help you further in
this endeavor. Listed here are just a few you may want to consider.

Editors Note:
These Spiritual Guidelines were originally published under the title:
Spiritual Laws to Live With for Prosperity, Relationships, Health and
Enlightenment
They were published in 2000 right after I had completed my Doctorate.
In fact, they were a part of my doctoral studies.
For this eBook, I have re-named them as Guidelines. Used as Guidelines
in your life, they will certainly give you the prosperity and abundance
that you deserve. 1960 Napoleon Hill authored a book, Think and Grow
Rich, which is loaded with Spiritual Laws, insights and “Guidelines” and
has helped thousands of people grow rich applying his principles….
Og Mandino, another author, wrote many inspirational books: TheGreatest Salesman in the World, The Greatest Secret in the World , to name
just two, also based in Spiritual Truths, Laws or Principles has also
helped thousands turn their lives around and find A Better Way to Live ,
which is another one of his books you might want to include in your list.
