Hi there,
Am working on how best to answer the questions on the Prosperity Paramilinal.
In what area of your life would you like to increase your abundance?
Finances? Financial Independance?
What would the ideal situation be for you in this area of your life?
Bills paid in full? Living a life of ease?
Just needed some suggestions as to how to answer these questions...???
thanks!

I have not used Prosperity Paraliminal before but I think I can still share with your my goal in financial field and see it can shed some light to you. My objective is to "have finanical independence & debt-free lifestyle with high passive & portfolio income of USD XXX per month".
Afterall, this is different for each person. Important question to ask yourself is what do you truly want to achieve in your life.

thanks Ernest.... well what I don't get is how they say we are meant to live the abundant life. I don't believe life is just getting what you want and being joyful and prosperous. I think life can be challenging and that is part of why we are here at times for the lessons... SO any thoughts on this? thanks.........

I think that essentially we get what we believe we'll get, which is often what we want. If you want hard lessons, the Universe will oblige you.
Here's a kind of funny story to illustrate this, which is sort of connected to what we learned from The Secret (not all lessons are about hardship!). A few decades ago, I was working in a book store--long hours, back-breaking work, and oh, my aching feet and back--all for really low wages.
One day, I was particularly perturbed by the whole thing, and after work, in my little apartment, I yelled at the Universe: I want a high-paying, dress-up, sit-down job, and (bleep) it, I want it NOW. Feeling rather foolish, and having scared Beethoven the Cat, I went for a walk and cooled off.
When I got home, the phone was ringing, and it was a friend who knew of a really good job opening at an oil company. They trained me and paid me during the training. The wages were very good, and I entered the professional world as I had wanted. That fast, quicko-change-o.
So, that was a good lesson. If you want something, it never hurts to say so. It's fine to leave hardship behind. You can learn just as well, better even, I think, if your mind feels free enough to be creative.
But it's always up to us.

Wow Jeanne, thanks! Right now I'm in particular going thru some work challenges. I can see the issues in it, (the same old ones).... but also from what you say, there is a lot of beliefs tied in with it all. I'll have to ponder on this some. Tonight seems to be a journal everything out for me so I can move thru some of it. I'll be back........... scooter~*

ok now I remember what I was going to say...
Have you ever heard that there is no growth is living a perfect life? I can't remember how it was said but something about living on an Island in bliss or something like that. Anyhow they said the real growth comes from those tough times in one's life...
any comments? thanks!

Well, let me put it another way. When you're up against the wall with health, bills, relationships, and the like, how much spiritual growth are you experiencing? How much time are you able to spend seeking your bliss? MOST people (I know some do thrive in living that way) are so busy worrying about making the next house payment, or fighting off some health issue, or just plain fighting with those around them that spiritual growth really has to take a back seat.
I don't know anyone whose life is absolutely and perfectly blissful 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, but if we so choose, we can tip the balance towards bliss, and in my opinion and experience, it is actually better for spiritual growth. The more you do this, the better life gets.

I think you can progress while in a state of bliss.... BUT does that mean you still don't have any issues? I think the purpose of getting backed up and bumbed out is because you need to move through those issues... But I agree with you, the more you move with the current the better and more accelerating it is... Anyhow, I was just trying to process this... Am reading a good book right now, "The Reconnection" and it talks about how things are shifting and all. Very interesting anyhow about this man's healing gift and it is part of the new coming in. I appreciate your post cause it really helped me to make a shift last night cause I know a part of me believes certain things about myself deep down (call it core issues if you like) and that belief is what is botching up the damn so to speak.... But the new energies or whatever you want to call them are kind of saying we don't have to get so heavy duty about it all anymore... Or at least that is my take on it... Happy flowing, scooter~* ps... as far as leaving hardship behind,... I have felt my job is a place where I don't belong, but the timing is not right to move on YET. But I can choose and ask for what I want for sure for now! Also, because of this job situation it did propel me forward to move out of stuckness. I know most people don't look at things like this, but if one is truly on a spiritual path that is what the path is I think. Meaning asking yourself, what is this experience saying about what is going on inside of me?

When Paul ask in what area of your life do you want to increase your abundance he's asking whether it's financial, spiritual, relationship, community, whatever.
It can be that you're looking for more abundance in home life, happiness, peaceful meal times with family. It can be a car that is driving smoothly to get you to your destinations on time. It can be to enjoy the time you spend in meetings.
Abundance isn't limited to being financially independent... technically I consider that impossible. You're always going to be dependent on something even if you choose to only be dependent on yourself that's putting a lot of eggs into one basket.
Bills will arrive how you feel about them when you pay them ... that can speak abundance when you have enough with $1000 or $100,000 on your bank account. True abundance is subjective and I think that's why no one formula can be written for an abundance goal.
