Exercise #11
What seeds are you sowing?

The Bible talks about seedtime and harvest, and that each comes in its own season. You cannot control the seasons; they are ordained by God. But you can prepare for the seasons and make the most of them when they arrive. To reap at harvest time, the farmer must plant. If he does not sow seeds, he will have no harvest. He will go hungry or have no crop to sell at the market, so he will live in want until the next planting season. You are taking the same risk when you deny your desire for money and material things and fail to command them to come into your life.
 
This goes back to that idea that it’s not about the money. Whenever you hear that, take your Bible and run. Clearly, the speaker doesn’t understand what money is, doesn’t comprehend that consciousness is the true currency and that whatever you buy you are buying with your mind. Money is just paper. It is about the money! As the Bible states, money answers all things. How can you be perpetually in want and reach out to help poor people? How can you be poor and bring people out of poverty? Oh, you might be able to help out at a soup kitchen, but how can you make a difference? You can’t. Rich people are the ones who create foundations and charities that provide food and job training and healthcare and make people’s lives better. There is no virtue in poverty. None.

But we forget this, and we think it unseemly to desire money. In quenching our desire for wealth and material plenty, we fail to command our reality to change. How can you possibly achieve something you can’t admit you want? Your desire for change, for money, for prosperity is your seed, and you must plant that seed to reap your harvest.

There are other kinds of seeds, and they involve action. When you have brought your prosperity into being in your thoughts, you must act to bring it into the corporeal plane. Doing that means sowing seeds: building relationships with new people, developing your ideas, educating yourself. Those actions are the seeds of your prosperity realized in the physical world. When your harvest time comes, you will reap a crop of great value because of their planting.
 

How to do the exercise: What seeds are you planting today toward the realization of your visualized future? You can write down two kinds of seeds here: 1. Your desires for wealth or success and 2. The individual steps you are taking to bring those desires to fruition. Then describe what you think your harvest will be from the planting of each seed.

In a very real way, the idea of seedtime and harvest is really three separate ideas: seed, time, and harvest. You must sow the seed of your desire and reshape your mind to bring that desire into existence, and sow the seeds of your actions. Then you must wait to let time take its course and bring the harvest season around. Change does not happen overnight. The people, resources and circumstances you need must all revolve into their proper orbits. During this time, you must continue in faith, knowing that your goals are already manifest and that you are on your way to realizing them. Consistency, thou art a jewel, Shakespeare said. You must consistently work within your mind to create the desires of your heart and to do those material things that bring them into the physical world.

Finally, harvest time arrives and you will reap the benefits of your planting and your patience. This is a certainty. God will give you the desires of your heart; as long as something is a desire and you are a believer in your own power as God, God must give you what you desire. He must obey the laws of His own System.

Seed, time and harvest. Each has its own purpose, and you must start in your mind from the harvest, your goal for your life and your wealth. Then desire that harvest and see it achieved in your mind and over time, it will arrive in your experience. 

Here is another exercise we do during the Cosmic Economics Seminar. Using a separate piece of paper, complete the exercise and then post your comments about the exercise.
Exercise #21
Change your worries

Worry is a form of meditation. But if God has given you the mind to be your own creator, worry should not be a part of your thought process. Worry is a fallen thought. It’s meditation in the wrong direction. How do you change? Worry the Word. Dig into the Word and learn God and learn what God wants from you. You and God are the same. You cannot be a son and have a different nature from your father. You share a nature with God. You are made of the same stuff, the same divine nature.
Getting rid of worry takes you closer to living in pure Spirit, without thought of what might happen and only thought about what you have determined WILL BE. That’s where your mind should exist. Worry is an assertion of lack of confidence: “I am not sure that what you have said is true, or that what I have done will be enough.” It’s a lack of faith in God’s System.
How do you deal with worry and keep it from vexing your Spirit and wasting your energy on negative thoughts? By transforming worry into prayer. By becoming conscious of your worried thinking, you can turn it into positive prayers to God that affirm what you have ordained for yourself. This exercise will help you being turning worries into prayers.

How to do the exercise: First, write down the worries that plague you regularly, worries about your looks, your job, money and so on. Second, think about how you can transform those worries into prayers and write the prayers down.

CHANGE YOUR WORRIES

Write down the worries you commonly experience.

Example: I will never make enough money to afford to buy a house.

Turn each of those worries into a prayer that focuses on the “I Am” truth that what you think becomes real.

Example: Father, thank you for helping me find and buy the house of my dreams. You have made me rich beyond measure.

You contain the whole city, the whole world. You’re bigger than this planet. You went to sleep and forgot how big you are. It’s time to stretch and to wake up. What’s on the outside is not your reality; what’s inside is who you are. Your prayers bring into existence what you want to be true, and as we’ve discussed, that is the first step to bringing them into physical being.
