Unity Church of Tucson

by Larry Swartz

Having recently completed a three week series that concentrated on the abundant universe, titled Prospering Principles, and in light of what I get snippets of prior to switching channels or conversations for my Expanding Horizons article I sense a current and very germane opportunity to again visit the subject of prosperity, for to understand the Reality of a universe-a cosmos-of which we are an integral part, that is literally unlimited in every manner of speaking, lays the foundation upon which anyone can begin to build a consciousness that agrees with the boundless and ever-present opportunity to participate.

Prior to one of the Sunday lessons I had a brief conversation with a woman who hadn’t been in a Unity Church for about 12 years who decided to check us out. About 10 minutes into my lesson she walked out and headed toward the north doors in the foyer. It is interesting to me that practically any subject is valid within a church.for as a student minister I was assigned to visit a evangelical church in Kansas City and sat through a preacher’s hour long sermon on of all things Whoremongering. Any subject is valid save for some the subject of money, and heaven forbid the thought that the desire for abundance is spiritually valid and wonderful.

Whenever a Unity or New Thought person speaks or writes about Prosperity they out of necessity include some aspect of money, for such forms the basis for commerce in our society.but, it isn’t just money for the sake of money, for money is just the score-keeper, it is consciousness that is the real subject at hand.

How do we address or even begin to understand the foundational premise behind everything in our lives called consciousness? In our lives money, or the lack thereof, isn’t the product of environmental, societal or economic issues, or for that matter luck, chance or accident, or even the stars.it is a factor of consciousness. Granted, these things might induce a temporary glitch or burp in the fabric of one’s manifest prosperity (dollars or their equivalent), for when consciousness is solid its power is greater than millions who are running around like decapitated chickens.

So, the first thing that needs to happen is for us to make real a series of precepts-they must become so very logical to the extent that anything to their contrary becomes immediately dismissed as ludicrous or preposterous, and recognized as the rantings and ravings of they who know not and know not that they know not. A good test to know if we are there yet is once we are rock solid in consciousness, we no longer will seek to defend our knowing as there will be nothing to defend.

As everything begins with God, or Source Energy, I strongly suggest that one begin their consciousness building experience by insuring that most if not all past definitions of, and even the usage of the noun God, be replaced with something akin to Source Energy, for the noun God almost always carries with it a plethora of many mixed messages making it challenging to have but one foundation.

Needing to have something resembling a definition, we can think of an Energy that is ever expanding-never reinventing Itself-but expanding as is the very Universe itself. And then comes the quantum leap that almost always flies in the face of everything we have been taught and most everything written.this that we call human experience and physicality, is one of what must be countless leading edge experiences in the universe, that through us-as us-Source (God) is exploring and continually causing expansion. The opposite to this is stagnation, and stagnation is impossible within a continually expanding universe.

So we, as an individualization of Source Energy-that which man throughout the years has erroneously insisted is made in our image with all our personality traits that include vengefulness, judgmentalness, angers and all the rest-can we any longer buy into a belief of the normalcy for any form of lack while excusing it away by whatever cockamamie “logic” seems to be presently in the vogue?

And, remembering that we are all the creators of our own realities, for there isn’t any God or Source Energy that is outside of us, so based on consciousness, or hence what then becomes our vibrational signatures, the universal law, sometimes called the Law of Attraction, manages everything. This means that no one is in their wrong place at the wrong time, or even in the right place at the wrong time; no personality, circumstance, event, or encounter is ever happenstance, luck, chance or accident. Everything is evidence of the great manager, the Law of Attraction, fulfilling its dispassionate and accurate “job description” as It causes like frequencied things, people and events to rendezvous with our lives.

Knowing this, how much prosperity or abundance do you really want to have in your life? Your life is presently a reflection of that. Want anything to change? Remember, this is also applicable for anything throughout the spectrum of life, we are just focusing within this article on prosperity-money. So, want anything to change?

Let’s talk about our vibratory signature, or the input into the working of things that is always solely under our control. Whatever we maintain in consciousness has, as does everything, a frequencied identification. It isn’t measurable by normally accepted scientific devices, but because this is a vibrationally based universe (it’s how we see, hear, smell and touch), everything is included. So, under the orchestration of the Law of Attraction what we have allowed to be placed in this unique signature that is us, draws like unto its kind-and voila our life is what it is. Or specifically, our finances are what they are.

It is a mind “game,” and a recognition that negative emotions are the indicators that we are not in alignment with the true Self that we are, hence now an indication that we need to examine our thought-input into life. Remember, there isn’t enough focused action, striving or effort that isn’t in alignment with our Greater Self that can bring abundance into our lives. After we make firm in consciousness what we want to do, be or have, any action on our part that might be required will appear and will be easy, orderly and pleasant. An attitude that might say, “I’m going to make myself wealthy” never works. An attitude that says, “I’m going to allow myself to be wealthy” begins the journey. How do we do this?
How? By first accepting the total illogic of shortage, poverty or lack being found anywhere in any “dictionary” of the Infinite.of Source. That is the good news, for if it were, then friend, cash it in. There is only one place left. It must be within us and held as a truth, hence held within the vibrational signature we offer to the Law of Attraction, and that can be changed!

Toy with remembering to ask yourself as words form sentences and thoughts coalesce around directions, “Is this something I want to appear in my life.is this something I want more of?” For remember, this is the process by which whatever degree of abundance or lack thereof got into our lives in the first place. And, would we really want something other than this process to be the foundation for our eternal journey? Isn’t it more “fair” than luck, chance or accident? Now we need to get focused.

So, never again say or claim anything similar to “I can’t afford,” for remember pronouncements such as these are global and speak to every area of our lives.not just the item we are contemplating. It is as if we are consciously placing in our vibrational signature the thought that we also cannot afford fantastically wonderful relationships, vibrant health and all the rest. Never again claim anything similar to “I’m on a fixed income,” for this is also global and sends forth the pronouncement that there is a cap on how much joy you can experience and all the rest.

If you have a treasure map, get it out and make it current-if not, make one and keep it where you can see it and its symbols and affirmations. If you weren’t present for my 3 part series where I spoke to many of these principles, get the CD’s. And, if you are not a tither, realize it is but another way of choosing peace in allowing the greater good to become manifest in your life.

Look for what makes you feel good, and stir around in that. Beat the drum of beauty, appreciation, thankfulness and appreciation. If these ideas are new to you and you practice them, you will notice that the old cadre of “friends” will gradually morph into people who will now also be speaking your new “language” and you and they will be supportive of each other’s greater good. And, the best of all… everything in this article is provable!
