Preface: A Message from The Alliance of Light:
The Highest Truth about You and True Prosperity
We are here to reassure you, to reawaken you
and to reattune you to the Highest Truth
about you and prosperity.
You have fallen prey to the predominant paradigm in
your culture which has convinced you that you have to
work hard for money,
that money is evil and dirty,
that wealth is always abused.
Nothing could be further from
the Highest Truth, which is this:
Prosperity is your birthright.
Prosperity is your destiny.
Because prosperity is your very essence.
We would like you to reread those three statements
three times right now.
4
Notice how that feels in your BEing. Good.
Now read them like this, three more times, aloud
(allowed!), allowing these words to permeate every cell,
to pulse through every muscle, to sing through every pore,
to radiate through every energy center
out to and into your YOUniverse:
Prosperity is MY birthright.
Prosperity is MY destiny.
Because prosperity is MY very essence.
Now is the time to
Remember
Who
You
Are.

Overview:
Why This Book Now? A Complete System for Passionate Purpose,
Heart-‐Centered Living & Empowered Prosperity
Why are you being guided to read THIS book at
THIS moment? There are so many self-‐help books and
wealth-‐building systems. What makes this one
different?
The first thing you have noticed is that this book is
being written, not just from one person’s mind and
heart, but by Spirit. The author of this book serves as a
channel for loving beings, known as The Alliance of
Light, to communicate essential knowledge to humans
at this time on our planet.
The wisdom in this book is streaming into your
body, mind, heart and soul, through the author as a
messenger, human amplifier and translator of
metaphysical energy beyond words into energy bundles
6
via words. Know this: As you read this book, you are not
only reading at the level of your conscious mind; you
are being lovingly and positively reattuned
energetically to vibrate with these truths so they
transform your life from the inside out.
The “voice” in this book will vary from sounding
like we, the guides, are doing the talking, to the
author/channel speaking from her own perspective.
The reason this book is being written from both the
noncorporeal, spiritual perspective and the human
perspective is that this helps you, the reader/receiver to
integrate infinite energy and wisdom -‐-‐ from
dimensions and realms beyond your even imagining -‐-‐
into your BEing and to the physical/social/ material
(human) levels, as the author is doing.
We are the Alliance of Light, a group of
noncorporeal, nonphysical beings who love you infinitely,
unconditionally and completely. We understand what a
7
time of upheaval you humans are experiencing at this
time and this is why we are speaking to and through
more and more individuals who are able to see, hear, feel
and express us. You know some of us by many names
including Archangel Michael, Jesus Christ (Yeshua), Mary,
Isis, Kuan Yin, Yogananda, Buddha, Lakshmi.
Many of our energies originate outside of your Solar
System yet we are very much part of your SOUL-‐ar
System! (You may like to call these aspects of the Alliance
your “star cousins” for we are made of the same cosmic
material and are family in this and other senses.)
All the enlightened masters who have walked, are
walking and shall walk the Earth are among us. You may
have noticed, in your studies or world religions and
philosophies, that there are many universal truths. This is
because all of the people who have shared these truths
when they have been pure in form and true to the original
meaning, are tuning into the same Source = God = Love.
8
What you call it is not important. That you live it, is
the most important thing in the world.
In this book, we speak primarily with One Voice
although there may be certain phrases that are
attributed to a particular aspect of the Divine, in
particular Archangel Michael, to help you connect with
these teachings through that name, archetype, energy
and image. Truly, though, it is not the name or the
messenger that is important but the message itself and
the energy within it.
As you read this book, you may find that another
name or image of an ascended master may come into
your awareness. This name or image may be one that is
mentioned in this book, or not stated here directly. There
are literally thousands of beings healing and blessing you
with each word.
9
You will experience only positive guidance from this
book and program because we are Divine Light. Trust
your own intuitive experiences as a true spiritual
connection. You are not going crazy. You are not
imagining things.
And yes, you ARE worthy to see, hear and even BE in
oneness with beings of light, truth, wisdom and love such
as ourselves. Because this is who you truly are. You are
Light. You are Truth. You are Wisdom. You are Love.
We are here, with you, always, and in all ways. We
are here to remind you and sometimes “demind” you
(take you out of your heads) so you remember who you
really are and live the purpose-‐driven, passionate,
inspired life of health, wealth and happiness that you
came here to live….and to help others enjoy as well.
WE LOVE YOU! -‐ The Alliance of Light
10
* * *
Wow! Sage here. Can you feel that? The Alliance
has so much wisdom and love to share with us, and I am
so grateful to be a messenger for these Truths.
Speaking as the human channel, and therefore the
first person to actually read what they are telling us, I
want to just let you know that the guides sometimes
speak in unusual ways that may stretch you a bit
outside of your comfort zone. For example, they put
words together in interesting, new ways (such as
aloud/allowed and YOUniverse, as you read in their
Message). They play with acronyms and capitalization a
Lot, and you will soon see they have a deLIGHTful sense
of humor.
Remember: Angels can fly because they take
themselves lightly!
11
They also point out many paradoxes that seem to
be contradictory but are actually enlightening us about
the true nature of the Universe. For example, everything
you need and desire is already here within you, yet you
can now receive more of what you want from outside of
you by recognizing this and making it real inside of you
now. They also refer to time in unusual ways because, in
the realm of consciousness and Spirit, all times exist in
the NOW = Naturally Ordered Wonder. So, prepare for a
fascinating, life-‐changing and exciting journey!
So what else makes this book and course different?
In addition to being a channeled book, Create True
Prosperity Now! takes a very holistic, comprehensive
approach to wealth-‐building and wellbeing FROM THE
INSIDE OUT. And a wider view on what true prosperity
really is. Thus the teachings herein are both
practical/physical and spiritual/ energetic.
12
You will learn and apply proven practices for your
Body, Mind, Heart and Soul to align you with abundance
– and with your highest destiny and best life.
And as part of the Prosperity Power Pack and the
Prosperous Goddess Program, this book will help you
activate your inner shift to prosperity consciousness,
and discover and fulfill your life purpose.
Many self-‐improvement resources do not go deep
enough into truly healing the underlying reasons why,
for so long, you have been struggling with financial
problems, or why you have money but still don’t FEEL
prosperous or happy.
It is not enough to learn some tips and techniques for
behaviorally changing your life on the outside before
you have done the prerequisite inner work of changing
yourself on the inside. Because even if such suggestions
are sound, they will fail to bring about lasting results
until you are lined up deep within.
13
Create True Prosperity Now!, Angelic Abundance
Activator (A3) and the Passion, Purpose, Prosperity
(A3/A3/P3) Success System you now hold in your hands
will catalyze your transformation at all these levels:
• Body: cellular, listening to your body’s wisdom
• Mind: subconscious as well as conscious
(this is the crucial missing key even in many Law of
Attraction books and programs)
• Heart: Emotions as your Creational, Vibrational
Guidance System
• Spirit: soul healing, energy field, chakras, intuition
• Transition: Implementing your inner prosperity
consciousness into outer success
• Life: Action steps for success in business and
creating and enjoying a balanced, healthy, wealthy
lifestyle that sustainably supports you, your family,
your values, your purpose, and makes a difference.
14
With this program, you don’t just get resources.
You get re-‐SOURCEs! Techniques that help you
reconnect to your infinite Source of wisdom.
If you understand that money is meaningless without
it being a vehicle for making a difference, if you are
ready to do what you love AND prosper at the same
time, if you resonate with the power of love rather than
love of power, and if you are ready to jump through
your Golden Portal to your healthy, wealthy life of
service, you’ve come to the right re-‐Source at the right
time for the right reasons.
True prosperity is right up ahead!
And right here, right now.

Introduction Sage’s True Story of Angels, Awakening & Abundance
The guides who are really the source of the
information in this book have already introduced
themselves. Now it’s my turn. J
The purpose of this book is to hand you the tools,
awaken your inner fire so you can shift your
relationship with money, power and success forever -‐-‐
so you can make an even more positive impact while
enjoying life to the fullest. This is not an autobiography
(the guides assure me that will be another book!)
You don’t really need to read this chapter but if you
are curious, go ahead and do so. I know I always love
reading other people’s inspirational stories…
So why should you read what I have to say about
abundance, prosperity and Law of Attraction for
creating your dream life? And how did this knowledge,
these Spirit-‐gifted tools, change MY life and the lives of
others?
16
I have been a professional intuitive, energy healer,
spiritual counselor, life coach, workshop facilitator,
meditation teacher and writer since 1994 when I went
through three Near-‐Death Experiences in 18 hours in
Mexico. This spiritual journey included an amazing
MIRACULOUS angel encounter, changing me
instantaneously, from a compassionate yet struggling,
seeker … to a messenger of Spirit. Healer. Shaman.
During that time, I have also experienced profound
healing of three physical disabilities:
• Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome (all healed)
• A back injury so severe I walked only with a cane
and brace for months and was told I would “never
jump, run or dance ever again.” (I jump! I run! I
dance! Whoohooo!)
• And a serious, allegedly incurable disease called
sarcoidosis, which usually afflicts middle-‐aged
black men yet mysteriously invaded my lung at the
age of 25. (In “spontaneous remission” 22 years!)
17
Immediately after my awakening in 1994,
hundreds of songs, poems and pages poured to me and
through me within weeks. I was joyfully filled with
inspiration and clear guidance on how to manifest
soulmate love, how to stay connected to Source, how to
read energy and heal.
This spiritual opening was not a fleeting “peak
experience.” I went through a portal in August 1994 and
I have never gone back to the “Matrix” of delusion,
confusion and illusion (as Archangel Michael calls it!).
Higher knowledge has been flowering within me and
flooding into me for 18 years now, stronger every day.
I am grateful to be able to live fully in the world of
Spirit and the physical world and to lovingly make a
difference in the lives of thousands of people.
The only credit I take for all these miracles is that I
have the courage to show up, to get out of the way, to let
the Light shine through me and to be who I really AM.
Spirit does the rest.
18
Some of my clients and students call me a “personal
transformation catalyst” because, if you are working
with me or words of Spirit through me -‐-‐You are going
to be accelerated several levels faster! Others have
called me “a great straw for the cosmic chocolate
milkshake.” J
Since this is a book about life purpose and
prosperity, let me share with you about my background
– and triumphs -‐ in that regard. In my earliest years, I
grew up in New York City in a middle-‐class household. I
was adopted.
When I was 10, my parents divorced and we began
to have financial problems. My older sister also moved
out to go to college, and I became a “latch key kid.” My
mother worked very hard to support us but even in a
rent-‐controlled apartment, times were tough. We went
on food stamps. I had to quit the most joyful activity in
my life, dance lessons, ironically, just when my dance
teacher invited me to join her advanced program
because “We just can’t afford it anymore, honey.”
19
Things got so tough I went out at the age of 13 and,
lying about my age to get a work permit, began flipping
burgers 10 hours a week (while still getting my straight
As in school) to help my mother pay the rent! I was
actually paying rent of $200 a month at age 13. I didn’t
realize until many years later that this was not a normal
responsibility for a 13-‐year-‐old in our culture. I even
had to pay for my own Bat Mitzvah.
I was valedictorian of both elementary and high
school and graduated high school at the age of 15. I have
always excelled at whatever I set my mind to doing yet
in early adulthood I suffered from many health
problems. I moved around a lot (13 times in 12 years!),
changing jobs and careers like they were a new outfit.
Secretary. Waitress. Engineer. Journalist. Script writer
for a sci-‐fi TV show. Teacher.
Yet no matter how hard I worked, I seemed to
barely scrape by. I couldn’t even pay back my student
loans.
20
Ever brimming with ideas, and still buying into the
“Do what you love, the money will easily follow”
concept, in 1993, I invented a romantic board game
called Passion Play!, which The Playboy Catalogue called
“The best romantic game ever made.” A friend made the
design and art, and we sold our sexy games like hot
cakes. Yet I lost $50,000 on the business and had to file
bankruptcy because the printer ripped us off, the
fulfillment company overcharged us, the games cost too
much to produce, and so on.
Do you see a pattern here? Smart, creative, go-‐
getter. Dreams big. Not afraid to take risks. Yet I
couldn’t seem to keep, as my Jewish grandmother
would say, “two shekels to rub together.”
What’s wrong with this picture? I threw myself
enthusiastically into – and excelled at -‐ whatever I did. I
knew I had brains, I believed I could succeed, yet…
incredibly, at the age of 29, I was still sick, my first
marriage turned abusive, I was in massive debt and not
very satisfied with my life.
21
Then I went through my Awakening.
And from 1994 to today, I have added many
certifications and credentials along the way as a
certified clinical hypnotherapist, Third-‐Degree Reiki
Master, ordained interfaith minister and spiritual
counselor. Working from an intuitive perspective, I can
honestly say that most of the knowledge and guidance I
use in all my work comes, not from all my professional
trainings, but from my ever-‐growing connection to
Source, as well as my personal and professional
experience.
The connection with Spirit that I was blessed to
experience in 1994 and thereafter helped me hugely
yet, because I am still human, I do sometimes fail to
hear or heed the message so in 2002, when my husband
and I used Law of Attraction to manifest buying our first
house, we bought the wrong house.
How do I know it was the wrong house? Well, we
were in the middle of signing the mountain of papers,
our miracle mortgage loan was about to expire in 12
22
minutes, when my eyes were guided to look at a “Stop”
sign outside. I thought, “Hmm, that doesn’t seem good.
God, if that’s you talking, can you give me another sign if
this is the wrong move?”
Sure enough, just then, my eyes went to the “Exit”
sign by the door! I pulled my husband out of the room
and said, “Honey, we have to stop! This is the wrong
house! God just told me, I got two signs.”
My husband, who is the sweetest man on the planet
but who did not have his 3rd eye and ear open to the
degree that I had, was convinced that: “If we don’t buy
this house now, we’ll never get another chance like
this!” And I, as a woman conditioned in our society, did
what I was conditioned to do: I gave my power away.
I listened to my husband instead of God, and we
bought the wrong house. Ended up investing $70,000
into it immediately because it had termites and mold
and we needed to demo a whole quadrant of the house
and rebuild it!
23
Four years later, when it was clear that we still
were not thriving there (the neighborhood was mostly
extreme rednecks and pot growers), we asked for a sign
and were told quite clearly to move to Hawaii. We took
a leap of faith, sold the house at a loss and were
homeless twice over the next 2 years to try to evade and
avoid mold. Definitely a 4-‐letter word! We moved 7
times that first year in Hawaii, living like gypsies while I
held down a classroom teaching job and Mark did
landscaping for millionaires.
The story of all the healing and adventures we had
in Hawaii would again, fill another book, so suffice it to
say that Pele, the volcano goddess, had clearly called us
to her, we experienced what we needed to there, then
she kicked us out!
Now here’s my confession. Originally I had told
God, “OK, I am going to go back to the ‘day job’
(teaching) just this one more time while we get situated
in Hawaii but I will not do it more than one year. After
24
one year, I promise I will get back to my real mission
that you put me here for.”
But after the first year teaching, which was quite
nice but of course not very soul-‐satisfying because it
wasn’t my Real Work, I was afraid I couldn’t or wouldn’t
be able to make ENOUGH MONEY doing my right
livelihood. After all, I’d tried for 12 years and had never
managed to do so, always having to ping-‐pong (boing!)
back to some day job to make ends meet.
I listened to the voice of Fear instead of Love and I
signed the contract for another year teaching middle
school. Toward the end of the 2nd year, as I got more and
more disgruntled with the administration’s
bureaucratic bullshit and the politics that “left behind”
the gifted kids I was teaching, I suddenly got a death
threat from a native student at my job. (I believe it was
racially motivated, a “haole go home” thing.)
Understatement of the universe: The
administration and police did not support me, basically
said I was the crazy one even though the note was in
25
writing. I felt totally betrayed and unsafe and was
diagnosed with PTSD (Post-‐Traumatic Stress Disorder).
I was agoraphobic too, hiding in my bed for 6 weeks.
My spirit was broken.
Until one day, my 5-‐year-‐old gently stroked my
cheek and asked while I lay in the bed, hiding:
“Mommy?... When are you coming back?”
!
My son saved my life that day. I made a conscious
CHOICE to LIVE and to rebuild my life. Again.
I had a conversation with God. I said, “OK, sorry I
didn’t honor that last arrangement but I was not seeing
a track record of my succeeding and your taking care of
me doing my Real Work. Obviously, I have not been
getting something really important here, so please clue
me in. What is it going to really take for me and my
family to thrive? To really prosper? AND Do what we
really came here to do? I can’t keep struggling like this!”
26
And the answers I got to THAT question are woven
throughout this book, in my channelings and healings
and group programs and audios.
With Spirit’s guidance, especially Archangel
Michael, Mark & I created the Aligning with Abundance
audio, I made a new 100% commitment to BE God’s
voice, we moved back to California in June 2008.
And within 90 days, my right livelihood income
was FOUR TIMES higher than it had ever been before!
I could not believe how EASY it was to manifest
great clients and students, and the money was just
pouring in! I was even invited “out of the blue” to
present on (multimillionaire) T. Harv Eker’s stage in
front of 930 people, presenting The Radical Self-‐Love
Experience to a standing ovation for 10 minutes and
launching my first book (Radical Self-‐Love), touching
hundreds of people in a single day. Wow!
27
I’m not the only one whose success has
skyrocketed using this system. My students and clients
have quadrupled their soulwork income within months,
successfully transitioned from soul-‐sapping jobs to
launch and expand their right livelihood businesses.
With divine guidance from the Alliance of Light and
all my guides, and the solid support of my husband, who
is my web designer and a fantastic “Mr. Mom,” within
three years, I built a six-‐figure business as an
entrepreneur and personal growth expert, helping
thousands of people create the life of their dreams.
Today I joyfully serve as a hypnotherapist,
OmnidimensionalTM shamanic angelic and Reiki healer,
28
spiritual teacher, Archangel Michael channel and
Intuitive Life Purpose & Abundance Acceleration Coach.
And later in 2008, I went through another portal
when I suddenly began channeling Archangel Michael
during an intuitive reading at a metaphysical store.
It would be difficult to put into words the power of
what happened in that reading-‐beyond-‐any-‐reading but
what I can tell you is that, not only did my client get
instant and astounding clarity about her health, her
husband’s business and more, suddenly Archangel
Michael told her that he was the one who had saved her
son’s life years ago!
She burst into tears. She knew EXACTLY what he
was talking about, and we spent the next 10 minutes
crying and hugging. And thanking AA Michael.
And I have been channeling AA Michael ever since!
AA Michael actually explained to me that if I desired to
do so, we could merge so that he is ALWAYS with me
and his love imbues all that I do or say. I of course
29
gratefully and graciously accepted. We are a team, he is
the Divine guide and I AM his hands and voice.
With Michael’s help, I/we write inspirational
books, create hypno~meditation healing audios,
channel TelAttunementsTM and lead seminars, Reiki
Master trainings and immersion re-‐TREATs.
In all I do, I blend mind-‐body reprogramming with
energy and soul healing, meditation and intuitive
training, spiritual awakening practices, deep self-‐love,
and advanced Law of Attraction so my clients get clear
and get in gear!
Today, I am married to my Twin Flame soulmate
(16 years now and going stronger than ever!). We have
the happiest, most harmonious relationship you can
imagine. People who see us ask us, amazed, “You’ve
been married HOW long? What? You two act like
newlyweds!”
30
In fact, we were even recently featured as a couple
of extraordinary harmony in a new book: A Golden Love:
Relationships of Divine Enchantment, by Laura Dawn
Bridges and Craig Francis Nieuwenhuyse.
My health is vastly improved. I do work I truly love
and get paid very well for doing it.
And I love my work so much, I don’t just say “TGIF.”
Every Monday, I shout “TGIM!” Every day is something I
am thankful for and on-‐fire about!
I cherish my time with my amazing husband, two
beautiful boys, and one amazing Husky-‐Shepherd
rescue dog. I get to do things like vacation in Yosemite,
go on exotic tropical cruises, swim with dolphins, enjoy
31
live musical events and theater, and eat gourmet food.
If my life sounds pretty dreamy, it is. I am still
human and have stressful moments now and then, yet
overall, my life feels like a series of blessings.
I am peaceful and happy 90% of the time. I feel a
profound, blissful and continuous connection with God
and my angels nearly every single moment. And my life
just keeps getting better.
I am making a difference in the way only I can, and
my clients and students thank me for it from their
hearts. I enjoy a balanced, happy, purpose-‐driven life
most people barely even dare dream of.
So if I can go from food stamps, bankrupt,
homeless, disabled, in an abusive 1st marriage to
earning six figures, married to my Twin Flame and
32
doing incredible creative, spiritual work that makes a
BIG difference, if I can be an abundancing prosperous
goddess, you can, too!
You can live your best life, your blessed life of
passion, purpose and true prosperity. If you define and
align, as this program will show you how to do, if you
walk the talk and take inspired action, you will SHINE!
Archangel Michael, The Alliance of Light and I are
about to share with you the philosophy, the
metaphysical truths, and the proven practices that will
transform your life.
Congratulations on listening to your “divine nudge”
by taking insired action and saying YES to this program.
By doing so, you are saying a big YES to your Self, to
Spirit and to Sacred Service. Let’s go!

Chapter One
How to Optimally Use This Book
(which is more than “just” a book)
Time to jump in! Let’s begin with some solid tips
that will really help you get off to a good start and build
upon a strong foundation for success and prosperity.
Success Tip #1:
Why I Am Doing This Program: My Commitment
Now is the perfect time to really commit to this
program, to your transformation, with your whole
being. Complete the following:
“I AM committing my time and energy to doing this 40-‐
day prosperity program because I AM done with all the
______________________________________________________________
in my life up until now. I want positive change NOW.
I AM really ready to set myself free to live my best life of
______________________________________________________________.
I am remembering who I really AM. I know that I deserve
true prosperity and joy, so I am absolutely going to keep
34
showing up for myself and do my best with this because
_______________________________________________________________
And because I love myself!”

You may want to print that out and post it where you
will see it. Reread it if you lose momentum so you get on
track and keep moving forward.
Success Tip #2:
Text Rendering – This is YOUR Prosperity Program
Many studies have shown that people remember and
actually implement information they read much better
if they personalize the book while they are reading it by
doing things like underlining, highlighting, using sticky
notes, etc. This is called “text rendering.” I know we
35
were all conditioned to never, ever write in a book
(gasp!) but the Truth is, if you do, you will “own” the
material more fully and absorb it better.
Be sure you print out this content, have a pen, some
sticky note papers, highlighter, whatever you may enjoy
using and give yourself permission to CLAIM this
content and make it your own. Another effective
technique is to write on an index card the following:
• Questions
• Reminds me of
• Action steps this inspires
• Insights & aha’s
• Jumps out at me
• Remember this!
Then use this index card as a BOOKMARK while you
read and occasionally refer to it and see if anything
you read meets any of those categories and merits
being marked in some way. Other people like to have
their journal handy while they read and write in the
36
journal. Find the combination that works for you and
have fun with it while you learn.
Success Tip #3:
Just Do It.
Excuse me for sounding like a sneaker ad! I will tell you
right now – and this is important – that if all you do is
read this book, it’ll be like a “Chinese food” self-‐help
book, a lot of fluffy words with no oomph.
Now I happen to really enjoy Chinese food, so no offense
intended, but many people notice that after a good stir-‐
fried meal like that, you’re hungry a couple of hours
later. Likewise, with most self-‐help books, you read it,
you enjoy it, you feel all warm, fuzzy and glowy, but a
few hours later, it’s like you never read it. Nothing
sticks. It doesn’t actually CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
“There is no try, only do.” -‐ Yoda from Star Wars
That’s not what I want for you, and it’s certainly not
what YOU want for you. So read this, yes, enjoy the
37
anecdotes, theory, quotes, but then I want you to get
into action and actually DO the exercises.
Exception (but not really):
A few people process the material best by actually
allowing themselves to read the whole book first to
prepare and soak it in at the nonphysical levels, then go
back and read it a second time in action mode. If this is
your learning style, that’s fine but be sure you do go
back and DO IT. Don’t trick yourself with “Ah, I read it,
I’m done” then distract yourself with one of the other 7
books you want to read. (I know you!)
Reading does not equal doing.
I recently learned from Dr. John Gray, author of the
best-‐selling Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus
books, that only 20% of the people who buy self-‐help
books actually even finish reading them til the end! And
even fewer do the recommendations or practices.
The more you DO, the more you will benefit, dear one.
This leads us to…
38
Success Tip #4:
Write It Down, Schedule It, Make It Real.
Your time is your life. You need to dedicate some time
to DOING this wonderful work and play and
kNOWingness. So before we get into the real “meat” (or
tofu?) of this program, I want you to choose a daily goal:
Consider this your Prosperity Daily Requirement (PDR).
My PDR:
Each day, I will ____________________________________________
For example, each day I will do 3 to 5 prosperity-‐
builders from this program. Or, each day I will dedicate
30 minutes or more to practices from this program, plus
listen to the reprogramming audio while I sleep.
We will be working much more with goals and action
steps throughout this program. For now, suffice it to say
that there are Dreams a.k.a. Visions, Goals, and Action
Steps, going from the macro, Big Picture to the smaller
39
micro level. Thus action steps are the real, actionable
things you DO to help you achieve your goals, which
lead you to living your dream life.
We want you to know that this program was designed
for busy people. You do not need to drop everything
else. You do not need to find 3 hours a day to do this. A
little bit each day, steadily, will make a huge difference.
Your goals could be tied to time or activity. The guides
and I suggest that for most of you, 1-‐2 chapters per
week, and ½ hour a day are realistic goals. Perhaps a bit
more on your non-‐work days. Feel free to modify this
depending on how much time you can invest.
So now that you have a goal, you need to SCHEDULE
THE TIME so it happens! Don’t delude yourself “Oh, I’ll
just fit it in” or “I’ll figure it out later.” That’s what I call
mush. No more mush! Get solid, get real. We want you
40
to plug into your schedule a real, implementable GOAL
for this program both weekly and daily.
Choose Your Official Day One for the 40-‐Day
Immersion
Ideally, you will be using this book concurrently with
the 40 Days to Prosperity Consciousness Daily Activities
and the Prosperous Goddess Mastermind or 1:1
coaching support from Sage. This book contains more of
the channelings and theory, while the Daily Activities
contains ALL exercises, leading you on a path to
prosperity consciousness step by step.
Allocate the time for the next 40 days or more
because you will be using the exercises to really
reprogram and align yourself for true abundance.
Choose a 40-‐day period for your actual Days 1-‐40
when you will not have any “extra” unusual
circumstances that you know of, such as increased
workload or travel. You can also spend a few weeks
reading and doing this book first, then practicing the
even more hands-‐on intensive immersion 40-‐day action
41
guide a little later, if you need to adjust that due to an
unusually busy time.
A message from The Alliance of Light:
Actually, all of you need to RealEyes that for any
endeavor, you will receive in proportion to how much
effort you invest. And it comes back to you multiplied.
Affirm: I know that my time is my life. How I spend my
time reflects what I value in my life. I am valuable.
Therefore I deserve to devote time to my personal growth,
to those practices that support my success, happiness and
true prosperity.
Thank you! Hey, good reader, did you write down your
daily goal yet and schedule them? If so, great. If not, stop
reading this and DO IT. Not after you check your email
or eat or skim another few pages or tomorrow. Now.
Then come back. Reading, thinking, talking and
dreaming alone don’t get you where you want to be. You
need to take action.
42
FYI: Throughout this book, I will use the “old-‐fashioned”
term “write” or “record it” but if you are a high-‐techie,
it’s fine for that to be done digitally, as long as you can
keep track of things. J
Here’s a crucial formula for a happy, healthy,
wealthy, balanced life:
WRITE IT DOWN + SCHEDULE IT +
ACCOUNTABILITY = MAKE IT REAL
Very simple. And you have already noticed this
phenomenon, I’m sure. OK, goals written down, time
scheduled, ready to go! Now here’s where you start
finding out what you actually do with that time…
Getting into Action Exercise #2:
Line Up Accountability Support – Your “AP” or
“MMG”
43
I know, I know. You’re thinking, “But I don’t need
support. I’ve got this book and my own good brain and
intentions. What more do I need? I like doing things on
my own. I don’t need a friggin’ support group.” I hear ya.
I understand your rugged individualistic quality, which
is admirable in some circumstances, but, my friend, this
isn’t one of ‘em.
If you are serious about changing your life, you, yes you,
need support. I’m not talking about psychotherapy, I’m
talking about an accountability partner (AP).
You will get exponentially more benefit from this
program if you work through it with support. As best-‐
selling Chicken Soup for the Soul author and millionaire
Jack Canfield, who was also in The Secret movie, says,
everyone needs an Accountability Partner. I call this
person your AP. By the way, I was selected to work with
Jack’s Success Coaching Team and I utilized their
services for accountability. I am currently working with
44
a business coaching program. No matter how far along
you are on your prosperity path, you always will benefit
hugely from excellent support.
We all start any new endeavor with the best of
intentions and energy, but we all know what happens.
Unless you do something to actively keep nudging you
back on track when you wander off, you will lose
momentum. This is why over 90% of new health club
memberships people sign up for in January are unused
by March, and 80% of dieters have gained all the weight
back and then some within a year.
We hypnotherapists have a saying for this:
“Willpower becomes won’t power.”
Numerous studies have shown that if people have the
support of others who are also focusing on the same
self-‐improvement, their chances of success
exponentially improve. So, don’t delude yourself. And as
45
millionaire Fran Harris says, “NME = No More Excuses.”
So get your support lined up now.
Your AP could be any/all of the following:
* A Create True Prosperity Now! / A3 Buddy
A friend, family member, coworker, etc. with whom you
work through this book and program together.
Advantage: Doesn’t cost you a cent.
Disadvantage: If your buddy falls off track, that will do
you more harm than good.
Tip: Be very selective about whom you choose to do this
with. Most people do not have an appropriate person
amongst their personal contacts. He or she has to be
highly MOTIVATED, easy to communicate and schedule
with, positive, holistic/spiritual/practical, wise -‐-‐ and
able to call you on your stuff and get your butt in gear!
Make a list of everyone you know who may be
interested in working through this program with you.
46
If you are not fortunate enough to have a wonderful
support AP you can activate in this role within your
existing social network, line up one or more of the
following:
* A Professional Success Coach
A success or life coach will help you stay on track by
holding you accountable as well as providing tools,
plus wisdom and insights for how these teachings apply
to you and your life. I offer both individual and
affordable group coaching to support you through this
program. See Re-‐Sources at back of this book.
Advantage: Human nature being what it is, if you
actually pay for a service like professional coaching
(have more “skin in the game” as the saying goes), you
are going to take it a lot more seriously, show up, do the
work and reap the rewards, than if you have a casual
support partner. A professional coach with a good track
record also has more expertise to offer. I recommend
you work with a coach who is also intuitive and holistic
47
so their support goes beyond just the “head” level and
has a spiritual perspective.
Disadvantage: There is an investment. And not every
success coach is right for you, or familiar with the
principles in this program. Some are not worth the
money because they essentially just ask you questions.
Tips: Many excellent coaches offer group coaching
nowadays to keep the cost down. Ask if you can get a
sample session, hear an audio, read about the coach,
have a mutual “Is this a fit?” interview (strategy
session) by phone at no cost. And trust your intuition
above all. For more tips, see my excellent article on 10
Tips for Choosing the Right Spiritual Teacher, Healer or
Coach at my blog at:
http://sageswisdompages.wordpress.com/2010/08/14/10-‐tips-‐for-‐choosing-‐the-‐right-‐spiritual-‐teacher-‐healer-‐intuitive-‐or-‐life-‐coach/
* A Master Mind Group (MMG)
Since the 1930s with the works of W. Clement Stone and
Napoleon Hill, people have benefitted from the highly
48
focused, high-‐powered energy of working in small
group with a common vision. Here is Hill’s definition:
“The Master Mind may be defined as ‘coordination of
knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between
two or more people for the attainment of a definite
purpose.’”
Mr. Hill further explains, in his 1937 seminal bookThink
and Grow Rich: “No two minds ever come together
without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible
force, which may be likened to a third mind. The human
mind is a form of energy…spiritual in nature. When the
minds of two people are coordinated in a spirit of
harmony, the spiritual units of energy of each mind
form an affinity, which constitutes the ‘psychic’ phase of
the Master Mind. …When two or more people
coordinate…and work toward a definite objective, they
place themselves in position, through that alliance, to
absorb power directly from the great universal
storehouse of Infinite Intelligence.”
49
You may have noticed the incredible energy
generated when you and another person, or several,
are all excited about something at the same time. There
is a vast synergistic direction of universal life force
energy, which you can then focus and harness at will,
for the highest good.
Mr. Hill continues: “This form of cooperative alliance
has been the basis of nearly every great fortune.”
In practice, your Master Mind Group consists of 3 to 6
people (including yourself), all of whom are highly
committed to doing this work and helping one another
prosper. You may also have a “mini” Master Mind
“buddy” Group within a larger one. This is what we do
in the Prosperous Goddess MMG.
What do you and your Master Mind Group do? You
show up. You are accountability partners for each other.
You also engage in networking, brainstorming,
sometimes even “barn-‐raising” -‐ getting down and dirty
and actually doing things to help each other. I’ve heard
50
of MMG members coming over to each other’s homes or
offices to clear out the clutter and organize things. I’ve
seen barter arrangements being set up. Fences painted.
Ads written. Places “Feng Shui’ed.” Websites designed.
Social networking blitzes.
Whatever you need help with, someone in your group
may be able to provide. And vice-‐versa. We don’t live in
a community-‐oriented culture. We don’t have villages
anymore. We all need this common direction of energy,
and comraderie.
Advantage: The great synergistic power and magic, as
described above. You can access incredible information
and inspiration this way and get practical help also. You
will be more likely to stay on track and may also make
great friends and business connections.
Disadvantage: Most peer MMGs fizzle out because of
lack of commitment or chemistry. It takes effort to
create your own MMG. Not everyone has the right
contacts or leadership skills to do so. A professional
51
group is best, however it may be difficult to find an
appropriate group. A pro group will have a tuition cost.
Tips: If you are willing to create your own MMG, Jack
Canfield suggests you make a list of 12 people whom
you know to pitch your MMG membership to. Qualities
to look for: Reliable, positive, shows up, a take-‐action-‐
high-‐energy-‐go-‐getter, an ideas person, someone who
inspires and leads others, has lots of connections and
resources, track record of success, someone who
balances your energy in some way. Do you want all the
same gender or a mixed group? Do you want people
who can meet locally in-‐person only, or would
conference calling or Internet meetings be ok?
Put them in order of preference or intuitive sense, who
you think would be best or more likely to say yes. Start
at the top and keep calling until you have 6 yeses. (It’s
good to have a few extra because all of them won’t pan
out!)
52
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to work through this
program with a buddy or mastermind group, your
accountability partners will need to also have access to
this book or the entire Angelic Abundance Activator
(A3) program so be sure to refer them to
www.AngelicAbundanceActivator.com so they have
legally authorized karmically good permission.
*** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ***
Depending on your enrollment level and how you
signed up or purchased this book, you may have access
to our private Facebook group and if so, that is a GREAT
place to find others to buddy up with. (Or you can join
one of my other programs as many people there also
have access to this program.)
Summary on Getting Support:
So whether your support will be a personal buddy, a
coach or other professional, and/or a MasterMind
Group such as our private Facebook group or one you
53
create on your own, you will need to be in touch with
your support system often. I recommend a minimum of
once a week, but twice, three times a week, or even
daily would be excellent.
We all need cattle prods under our behinds to get in
gear and to keep moving! As John-‐Roger and Peter
McWilliams say, we need to get off our “but”s! Enough
inertia, excuses, and sliding down the slippery slope
back into our old ways.
I tell my clients “Do it! NME and NMW” which stand for
No More Excuses, No Matter What.
So your assignment right now, before you peek at
another page, is to line up support. Choose one or
more of the choices above and take some concrete
action today, such as researching or interviewing
coaches, reading herein about Re-‐Sources and
54
contacting the author about coaching, making your
MMG invitee list, or inviting someone to be your buddy.
With your AP keeping you on track, not only will
you be sure to apply more of the principles into
ACTION, you will also enjoy a synergistic spark that is
incited and deLighted when two or more kindred spirits
come together with a common purpose for the greater
good of all, the pleasure of companionable connection
and a perspective beyond your own.
Getting into Action Exercise #3:
Get & Dedicate Your Prosperity Journal “PJ”
Buy a notebook, journal or binder dedicated to this
program and Create True Prosperity Now book and
action guide. You will use this as the place to do the
written exercises as well as record your own insights,
write questions, affirmations and so on. We will call this
your PJ.
55
Next, dedicate your PJ to your life of prosperity, passion
and purpose! Use your own words, from your heart. See
Action Guide for a suggested dedication.
Getting into Action Exercise #5:
“Me Time, Be Time”
While we just reminded you of how important it is to be in
“action” mode to actually engage yourself in applying the
practices you will learn herein, we also need to remind
you (or de-‐mind you) of how essential it is for you to take
time regularly to NOT do, time to just BE.
As Dr. Jon Kabat-‐Zinn, creator of Mindfulness-‐Based
Stress Reduction meditation practice now over 200
hospitals and medical clinics, asks, “Are you a human
being, or a human doing?” I had the pleasure of studying
with Dr. Zinn while I worked at Kaiser-‐Permanente as a
meditation teacher.
56
“How beautiful it is to do nothing, then rest afterward.”
-‐ Spanish Proverb
In your culture, you have all lost this wondrous ability to
just relax and let go, to simply watch rain trickle down
the window, or really “grok” a flower, drink a whole cup
of tea as a meditation, or just do absolutely nothing at all.
Your beingness is your time because your time is your
energy is your life. So if you already have many balls in
the air that are taking up a lot of your time, if you are
already feeling overwhelmed, we suggest you take a
moment now to reprioritize or deprioritize appropriately.
You can make excellent progress doing this program with
a minimum time investment of about 2 to 3 hours a week.
You need to set yourself up for success and make sure you
are not stealing time for this from basic needs like sleep,
exercise and meditation.
57
Look at where your time does go. Many of you waste an
inordinate amount of time in undefined, unproductive,
impulse and reaction-‐driven puttering, Internet surfing,
talking to people who drain your energy, watching
television or movies. We call this “mush” time.
Take a deep breath and dedicate time to this program.
You do have enough time, you have plenty of time to do
what is MOST important if you reduce or eliminate the
mush time.
We are not saying you need to eliminate time to relax,
recreate or just BE. In fact, you actually need more time
to just be. You can give this to yourself through
meditation or just “Me Time, Be Time.” All humans need
15 to 60 minutes a day of Me Time, Be Time. This is time
in which you are doing nothing that feels like work or
doing. Whatever you do, it feels like play, like joy, like
peace, like love.
58
This heals your body, clears and inspires your mind, opens
your heart to the higher emotions of love and happiness,
and connects your spirit in oneness to Spirit of All~God.
What do you DO in your BE time? It is not about doing.
You may choose to indulge in the luxury of just staring
out the window. Daydream. Stretch. Exercise. Singing.
Pray. Smile. Drink a cup of tea consciously and gratefully.
Do art. Write. Be in nature.
So, to recap, in this Exercise, we are asking you to:
A-‐Evaluate where your time really has been going.
Identify any “mush time” activities, people, places. Decide
how you can reduce or eliminate these time, energy and
soul drains.
Note from Sage: Working with one of my clients this
morning who gets to text me daily for accountability
support, I got to share some tips for how to not get
59
pulled off track by these activities such as (in her case
for example, and this is very common!): being on the
Internet.
I suggested to her and now to you: Do you Me Time, Be
Time and your A3/A3/P3 (prosperity passion purpose)
practices FIRST, then go on the Internet. OR Use an
alarm on your computer or cell phone to set a limit on
how much time you will do email, Facebook, surf, etc.,
and when the alarm goes off, walk away and change
gears. Right away. (OK, finish that one email, then that’s
IT.) The Internet can be very addicting and too much of
even a good thing is not so good. Balance is key, and you
have to make sure you get to what’s MOST important
which is your self-‐love, nurturing, spiritual time. OK,
back to the Alliance of Light…
B-‐Commit to and schedule a good amount of Me Time,
Be Time: Activity or non-‐activity that nourishes you on
all levels. Make a list of your Replenishers (you can also
call this your Menu of Self-‐Loving acts, Your Mood Lifters,
60
or Your Soul Soothers) and refer to your list daily. See
Sage’s Radical Self-‐Love Workbook/Guidebook if you’d
like more guidance on self-‐love and nurturing.
We recommend a minimum of 15 to 30 minutes a day for
this BEING with larger “chunks” (such as ½ a day or a
whole day or Sabbath) once a week and even larger
“chunks” (such as a re-‐treat weekend or week) monthly
or quarterly.
What you call a vacation needs to happen every day, just
for smaller periods of time daily, longer weekly, and even
longer every 1-‐3 months.
Your society’s idea that you should be workaholic
machines 40 to 60 hours a week, 50 weeks a year is
ridiculous and inherently unsustainable.
61
We need to set this record straight right at the beginning
of this program because you need to open yourself to the
Truth:
You will be more effective at work, you will have
happier, more harmonious relationships of all kinds,
you will be healthier and – yes! -‐ even wealthier if you
take better care of YOU first.
First meditate, then create.
Relate. And celebrate!
These make life worth living!
So the meaning of life is to meditate, create, relate and
celebrate. I love that. Thank you, guides! J
This is a beautiful ongoing cycle that creates a positive
spiral of vital life force energy from your spiritual
center. Far from being selfish, by being selfBLISS, you
are actually setting an excellent example for others in
your life and reshaping your entire society, raising the
62
vibration of your whole planet, when you love and
honor yourself as a sacred BEing rather than a human
DOing.
So I guess Shakespeare had it right when he said,
“To be or not to be?”
Indeed. That IS the question. That IS the choice because, if
you do not allow yourself to BE, you will cease to be. First
your heart and soul, then your body will simply fail to
function.
What brings you joy, sustains your life.
What brings you joy, lights your inner fire.
What brings you joy, heals your body.
What brings you joy, creates true wealth.
Breathe this in, beloved child of God.
C-‐Now that you have “realized” = seen through Real Eyes
how you need to allocate your time to just BE and
63
experience inner joy: Schedule a reasonable, “doable”
amount of time on a daily and weekly basis to move
through and implement this program.
Listen to your inner guidance. This may be part of your
Me Time, Be Time, or you can make it a separate block of
time.
We suggest that you commit your time to both your
self-‐love, self-‐care Me Time, Be Time and your A3/A3/P3
time either in the morning (before you get going on your
“to do” list, you need your “just be” time), and/or in the
evening before bed. These are called your Golden Hour
and Silver Hour, respectively. Although we understand
that for some of you this “hour” of respite and intention
may sometimes be 15 minutes.
Your Golden Hour and your Silver Hour are the most
important moments of the day because you have greater
access to your subconscious and the spiritual realm, and
64
they serve as the graceful transitions to and from the
Dreamtime and the World of Form.
You need a regular routine to develop this as a positive
habit. You may find it helpful to bring your course
materials such as this book, your Prosperity Journal,
your pen, in the car as you go about so you can find
extra minutes to devote when you have the chance (just
not while the car is moving -‐ with the exception of the
Happy Money! TM audio, designed for listening while
driving, exercising, etc.).
One of the wonderful benefits from doing this program
properly is that you will find that while you are building
your wealth from the inside out, you are also living
more consciously and joyfully.
65
Success Tip #5:
Honor Your Intuition, Yet Also Ask:
Who Is Doing the Talking?
Our last tip is to remember two important things. They
may seem paradoxical but they are both true. You need to
honor the inner wisdom of your deep intuitive nature,
always. That includes trusting your own inner guidance
as you do this program.
At the same time, however, you need to stay on track and
expect to stretch yourself. Anything worth enjoying in life
requires a bit of effort, and you are about to heal many
lifetimes worth of suffering and struggle in just a few
months (if you apply yourself but it will take longer if you
dilly dally!). Make an effort. Sometimes it will feel
uncomfortable and you may feel lazy, distracted,
doubtful, afraid, confused and so on. You may not “feel
like” doing the work. This is not your intuition or Highest
Self talking at all! You have all confused your lower heart
66
with your higher heart. This is just resistance, a form of
fear, trying to keep you stuck in your “as is” life.
Your life is not an “as is” property! You are designing your
life and reshaping it every moment, whether you are
aware of it or not.
The problem is you have been allowing unconscious
limiting beliefs, other people’s expectations, small
thinking, and negative energy to run the show. Now is
your chance to reclaim your power to create your life, to
chance to really THRIVE, PROSPER AND SHINE!
So, at the beginning we want to tell you to keep this in
mind if, later, some part of you tries to pull you off course:
“Oh, I’ll just do that later” or “I don’t have to do that part”
or “I don’t have time.”
If this happens, ask yourself:
What part of me is doing the talking?
67
Everything in the Universe and the YOUniverse is a form
of Love or Fear. Love will always guide you to be more, to
do more, to have more, in a healthy, balanced and joyous
way. Love feels soft and relaxed in your belly, open and
yesfull in your heart, free and bright in your spirit, and
positive and encouraging in your mind. Fear feels small,
dark, “protective,” solitary, and uses delay tactics.
Love kNOWs there is only NOW.
68
Chapter 2
The Truth About Money: A Channeled Message from Archangel Michael
Via Sage Sage: God morning, Archangel Michael! I am so honored to get to be your voice today! Archangel Michael: God morning, Sage! We will have some fun. Abundance is a fun dance! Sage: Ah! Good one. Yes it is. So what is the plan for today? Anything you want to share with me now to help the channeling later? Or to help me in my human mind to grok it and soak it in and deliver it with oomph? J AAM: Ah, no worries, I always deliver with oomph! Ha! (The rest is AAMichael) Abundance is everything that supports you in the full expression and enjoyment of who you really are. Abundance facilitates all 3 aspects of contentment: pleasure, happiness and joy and is thus not limited to tangibles. Abundance does not depend upon a certain amount of money but rather a lifestyle that is sustainable, authentic, meaningful and healthy, and above all, full of love.
69
Money is not what you think it is, either. Money is energy. Money is the main way energy moves on your planet in exchange of goods and services, and as an act of love and support. There are other ways that energy moves and is EXCHANGED, such as through words, touch and the eyes. The key word is exchanged. There are many, many, many metaphysical nuances to be learned, unlearned or relearned about money, which is why I created the 40-‐day course and others. Just to prime the pump and give you something to play with…. Pray with… and stay with right away… Stop whatever else it is you were just doing… and really lean in, listen in, open up, tune in, open your crown, your heart, your eyes (all 3 of them)… Open your funnel at the top of your head… Open the eyes in your hands… Open your whole magnificent self and SOAK THIS IN. If you had a wonderful friend who was trying to help you, for years, this person patiently, kindly tried to provide you with what you wanted, for decades, this person lovingly
70
kept showing up everytime you invited him or her to one of your parties, everytime you needed a ride to the airport or someone to help move your furniture or watch your kids… Every single time, this friend was there for you. Would you say this person was a major PROBLEM in your life??? Of course not. You would probably call them a saint. You would consider yourself incredibly blessed to have a friend like this in your life, am I right? Yet this is exactly how most of you treat money! When people ask you, what is a source of stress in your life, in fact Sage has that as a question on her intake form for when she works with clients 1:1, you would be surprised how many people say money is a source of stress. Money is not the problem. Money is part of the SOULution! They sure got it wrong in the so-‐called Bible when somebody claimed somebody said Money is the root of all evil. Money is not evil. Greed is evil. Corruption is evil.
71
Selfishness is evil. Fear underlies all evil, everytime, everywhere. LACK of money is often the problem. And you know what an even bigger problem is? Scarcity thinking! Fear-‐based pseudo living. Insufficient self-‐love. Insufficient gratitude. Unconsciousness. Those are the problem. Not money. So stop blaming money. Money is one of the best friends you could EVER have. If you have had a roof over your head and food in your belly every day of your life, that is most likely because someone earned money, someone received money, someone paid EXCHANGED money for that food. Even if you grow your own vegetables and raise your own animals, you probably needed money to buy the seeds or plants, to buy the fertilizer, and animal feed, and pay the vet bills, and what about the opportunity to work the land? What about the cost of the land and the house?
72
Chief Seattle said you cannot own the land, and he is right. The land is your Mother. The land is your foundation. The land is your home. All of you, every single one of you has the right to have a piece of earth and a peace p e a c e of Earth where you can live in harmony, where you can watch the changing seasons and feel the rain on your face and hold your hands up to the Sun and dance in the moonlight. Many of you think oh, money is wrong, money is all about the bankers and the oil companies and the pharmaceutical companies and corrupt politicians and churches and it is imperialistic and capitalistic and a lot of other “-‐istics.” You look at indigenous cultures and you think, why can’t we just barter? Why can’t we have a cashless society where people work together and raise the food and the barns and the children and live in harmony? We don’t actually need money, do we? Many of you are so uncomfortable with money because of your parents and grandparents and great great great grandparents attitudes and beliefs about money. Arguments around the kitchen table over the bills. Favoritism of a certain child. Sexism over who controlled the purse strings.
73
A sense of the pie is too small and we cannot divide this up so there is enough. There is never enough. Or some of you feel that there is enough. But you have been doing the Miracle of the Month Club as Sage calls it, just barely making it, praying for a miracle to pay your mortgage or rent or medical costs, living with a tremendous amount of stress, just surviving but not thriving. And others of you have money, you may even have more than “enough,” but you are so busy working at something you don’t love, so busy running around and taking care of everything and everyone outside of you, so disconnected from your Source and your own creative JOY, that you are not even enjoying the money! You see money and time as interchangeable. You have times in life when you have money but not the time to enjoy it and times when you have fewer pressures on your schedule but then you stress about the lack of money. You are never satisfied with wherever you are at. Right. Now.

Light. Now. (pause) A life of true abundance means you are in the FLOW. A life of true abundance means you love your life and you live your love. A life of true abundance means you connect with kindred spirits on a daily basis, people, animals, rocks, trees, spirit guides, you feel CONNECTED. You are love flowing, connected with other love flowing, and the love keeps growing and glowing and flowing and glowing and growing… You always have enough, you have more than enough. You have CHOICES. And you give yourself the space, you give yourself the time, to just BE. (pause)
75
I have spoken to you in other channelings through Sage about how true prosperity means BOTH passionate purpose and material success. Now I speak with you today to remind you and reheart you and rebody you and respirit you about how true prosperity means BOTH time and money. It means that your money, wherever it comes from, is valued and is used with love. It means that you have a RELATIONSHIP, truly and ELATION-‐SHIP with money! It means you have MIRACLE MONEY and you have STEADY BLESSINGS MONEY. It means you remember who you are. And your life is an outward expression of the Love you ARE. FEEL THIS. FEEL THIS. BREATHE IT IN. DRINK IT IN.
76
SOAK IT IN. BE THE LOVE. BE THE MONEY. Because money gives you freedom. Freedom with your time. Freedom with your thoughts. Freedom with your choices. I have much, much more to share with you and I invite you, if you are feeling called now, if you are feeling the glow of Truth right now, to go deeper with me. My key message to you today is this: Money is not the problem. Money is a SOULution. And the moment you abSOULutely heal your relationship with money, deep within your core and in every cell and pore and in every nerve and every action and every moment of thank you, God!!!!!!!!!!!
77
You will experience more true abundance than you can even imagine right now. I love you. Archangel Michael May 14, 2013

Chapter 3
The 7 Soulwork Archetypes for Right Livelihood A Channeled Message from Archangel Michael
Via Sage
“Work is Love in action.” – SAGE
A Message from Archangel Michael:
“You are here to share your unique gifts. Your gifts are unique in two ways: First, they are gifts TO YOU FROM SOURCE. Secondly, they are gifts FROM YOU TO THE WORLD. In this way, you are a pure channel for God’s Love and Energy. Everyone is a healer. An artist. A messenger. A bridge. The Good news God news is this: You don’t need to be perfect to stand up and show up for Divine Service. You only have to be YOU.
When you are aligned up with who you really ARE, this has EVERYTHING TO DO WITH YOU and – at the same time – IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!
This may seem contradictory, however, it is Highest Truth, like all divine paradoxes (God is within you and beyond you, etc.).
79
You see: Fulfilling your Divine Purpose has EVERYTHING to do with you because when you do so, you are totally, joyfully, consistently and naturally expressing your true self. You are serving, sharing and shining in the way that only YOU can.
You feel there is a sense of flow, continuity, integration between your work, your play, your inner, your outer, you RealEyes that everything you have ever been and done before this precious moment has perfectly prepared you, guided you to rebirth yourself (and remirth yourself!) so you could more fully
FREE YOURSELF AND BE YOURSELF.
And ... Doing your heart and soulwork has nothing to do with you because it is not about your Ego. Let Ego go! (Sing this instead of “Let my people go!” “Let my ego – go!”) Your contentment flows and bubbles forth from you, regardless of whether you are receiving external validation, riches, fame, or not.
You are peace. You are joy. You are love. Simply because you ARE. You are YOU. You are HERE. You are GOD. You are, as Sage likes to say: “A straw for the Great Cosmic Chocolate Milkshake”!
80
You don’t get all emotionally entangled in pleasing others and this actually enables, enlightens and empowers you TO serve others in a more real and satisfying way.
You are no longer concerned about what others think or say or what “They” want you to be or do or have. As I told Sage a few years ago, there are only 2 things you EVER need to do:
1. Show up.
2. Get out of the way.
And when I say get out of the way, I mean get your ego, your small self, your false fears, the confusion delusion illusion, the B.S. (Beliefs to Shift) out of the way so your NEW, TRUE SELF can shine! And really, those are like the chicken and the egg. Do you have to get the ego out of the way first so you can show up and really succeed? Or do you have to show up and start moving some positive energy, focus on what you really desire, so you have more strength and courage and energy with which to bravely, boldly and beYOUtifully say “No” so you can say “YES!”... Step out of the way and into The Way.
Get out of it so you can get into it! Go out of your mind so you can live from your heart.
81
Say yes. Yes and Yes and YES!
It is, as in Sage’s poem, about glistening and listening. It’s also about blissening.
You don’t have to change into something else. You are peeling away the false layers. Take off that itchy sweater! Bust outta those chains!
You have the Ultimate Power Tool. It makes an electric power drill look like a plastic knife, you know, the kind you get at the dollar store. Your Ultimate Power Tool is called LOVE. It’s called TRUTH. It’s called GOD. It’s called YOU.
It’s made of LIGHT. There is no end to you, to your YOUness. You are constantly reviewing, renewing yourself. You can do this unconsciously, letting old tapes and other people’s mixed-‐-‐-‐up concepts run your show. You can go through life reacting and overreacting, or you can wake the heaven up! And choose conscious loving action. BE THE LOVE YOU ARE.
Glow for it! Love, Archangel Michael

Only YOU can fill the you-‐-‐-‐shaped hole in the world. – SAGE & Archangel Michael
Affirm and Know: “Only I can fill the ME-‐-‐-‐shaped hole in the world!”
Here are THE 7 SOULWORK ARCHETYPES as revealed to Sage from Archangel Michael:
SOULWORK ARCHETYPE EXERCISE: As you hear these, tap your 3rd eye and ask Spirit to light the right one(s) up for you. You may feel energy in your body, get a green (red or yellow) light, hear words or see images. If you feel a yes for more than one, this just indicates that your soulwork is a combination of multiple archetypes in a creative, joyful unique way....Or during your life, of course, you can do one first then another:
Which of these have you always known to be you/true? What has always called to you or calls to you know?
83
Also ask to get a # from 1 to 10 (10 being highest YES):
I AM HERE TO BE A ....
HEALER – Helps people and/or animals one on one physical mental emtl spirl hlg LEADER/TEACHER – Inspires, educates, leads, motivates, politician, coach, mgr. ARTIST-‐-‐-‐Creatrix, writer, musician, dance, cook, landscaping, staging, beauty BUILDER – Makes things practical, inventor, contractor, hands-‐-‐-‐on
SEEKER OF TRUTH – Knowledge for its own sake, philosopher, theologian, researcher, math, science HERO/SHERO!/WARRIOR– Saves lives BRIDGE – Connects people with others and with resources, integrates, synthesizes
There are some people whose highest calling falls within the description of a “job” job....The kind of career your high school guidance counselor could tell you about...What I find, though, is that many of us, esp. Lightworkers and cultural creatives, our highest calling, our right livelihood is a blending of several of those archetypes and in totally unique ways.
MOST “CULTURAL CREATIVES” AND LIGHTWORKERS ARE HERE TO FIND A CREATIVE, UNIQUE WAY TO SERVE -‐-‐-‐ OUTSIDE THE BOX.
84
THE SOULWORK FORMULAE: Your Right Livelihood (Soulwork) = Your Talents + Your Passions + Filling the Hole in the World
Your Gifts/Skills + What You Love to Do + What You Care About (values)
7 Ways to Tell Your Work IS Your Right Livelihood:
How can you tell if you’re doing your real work? Most of the time:
1 It doesn’t feel like work but rather like JOY. (TGIM!)
2 You’d do it even if they didn’t pay you.
3 People tell you: “You are so good at this!”
4 It makes you feel alive.
5 It creatively flows and feels natural and easy.
6 Somebody else couldn’t easily just “step in” and do it for you.
7 You feel deeply satisfied with the difference you are making. ���
85
SOULWORK & RIGHT LIVELIHOOD AFFIRMATIONS:
I am totally successful at all that I do, and I love succeeding at my right livelihood. The more money I make, the greater the good I can do.
I am seen, heard, respected, loved, valued, treasured and celebrated for who I really AM – and I love it!
I show up, get out of the way and fully shine!
The Universe is now paying me generously to do what I really love.
My work is love in action.
I know, I flow, I glow!
I remember who I truly AM.
The more I am my true self, the more prosperous I naturally become.
Only I can fill the ME-‐-‐-‐shaped hole in the world! I AM filling the ME-‐-‐-‐shaped hole in the world.
My life is a joyous, creative expression of my true Self. I AM the Love I AM.
86
SOULWORK & RIGHT LIVELIHOOD REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR JOURNALING:
1-‐-‐-‐What activities do I most love to do? 2-‐-‐-‐Whom do I most enjoy helping or working with? 3-‐-‐-‐What am I naturally good at? 4-‐-‐-‐What did I get paid the most to do thus far? 5-‐-‐-‐What would I do even if I never got paid for it, just because I love doing it? 6-‐-‐-‐What do I seem to do and learn easily? 7-‐-‐-‐What issues do I care about a lot? 8-‐-‐-‐What makes me feel alive? 9-‐-‐-‐What, if I don’t do it for a while, do I find I miss doing? 10-‐-‐-‐What do I look forward to doing? 11-‐-‐-‐What have people praised me for? 12-‐-‐-‐What would make me feel, at the end of my life, that – if I accomplished it – my life was worth living? 13-‐-‐-‐What can I imagine myself doing a year from now and 5 years from now?

Chapter 4
The Five Spiritual Laws of Abundance & Manifestation
THE ZEROTH LAW: The Law of Allowing
This law precedes and infuses all the other laws, which
you can also think of as steps or levels. Until you have
sufficient ALLOWING in place, you cannot succeed with
any of the other steps because this is the prerequisite,
the foundation for all other growth.
The Law of Allowing refers to your ability to receive
based on the level of SELF-‐LOVE, WORTH,
DESERVINGNESS that you have, not just consciously but
deep within. This is the stage of readiness and means
you are giving yourself permission to really ask for what
you truly desire because you know you deserve it.
At this stage, the dominant shift is from hopelessness to
hope.
88
The ideal modalities and acts to help you succeed with
and evolve beyond this level include emotional (heart)
and soul (energy) HEALING such as regression,
Heartlight Meditation, heart breaths, loving self-‐touch,
movement, soul retrieval, Reiki, deep self-‐love such as
the Radical Self-‐Love Workbook, and individual healing
sessions with me or another healer who specializes in
self-‐love, prayer and meditation.
THE FIRST LAW: The Law of Aligning
This law shows us that we need to clearly DEFINE our
desires and be willing to ASK. CLARIFYING, DREAMING
BIGGER, understanding your soul’s purpose and heart’s
longing, building your vision both with details and
energy (juice!) and maintaining FOCUS on both the little
and big pictures all govern successful application of this
law.
The 1st law is all about GETTING CLEAR.
89
Now you have enough of the self-‐love in place to really
allow yourself to ask for ALL of what you want. You are
IMAGINING what life could be like if you were
expressing your authentic self. You are aligning your
dream with the passion of your desire and the power of
your soul.
At this level, the dominant shift is from hope to belief
and all the way to knowingness. Your belief in your
vision becomes rock-‐solid and you absolutely KNOW it’s
just a matter of time before you manifest your
intentions into physical reality.
The best healing methods for this stage are
hypnosis/hypnotherapy (including self-‐hypnosis and
audios), visioning, affirmations (declared with juice and
power!), energywork to align your chakras, balance
your energies, and open your third eye and inner ear,
meditation, prayer, Emotional-‐Mental Clearing
90
Technique, spiritual clearing to remove dark energies or
other blockages in your aura, and daily immersion in
visualizing your desires as fully manifest such as
through Vision Board and/or Vision Statement.
THE SECOND LAW: The Law of Action
If the 1st law was about getting clear, this law is about
GETTING IN GEAR! (and staying in gear)
Now that you are able to allow and ask, now that you
are aligning Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit with your
dream life and intentions, this is the time to
PRIORITIZE, STRATEGIZE, and allocate RESOURCES
such as your time, money, space, energy and effort so
you take concrete steps to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Delegation is also crucial.
You keep moving steadily toward your goal as you allow
it to also move toward you (the active and passive
aspects of allowing and acting). At this level, the shift is
91
from seeing/knowing within to creating in your outer
reality.
At this stage of your manifestation process, you need to
line up SUPPORT by sharing your vision selectively with
others who resonate with it and embrace it,
energetically as well as physically. Of course, family
members, spouse, close friends, business partners or
colleagues may be appropriate support people (or they
may not, you need to really pay attention to this).
Ideally, though, even if you have some support from
your social network, you will absolutely succeed more
quickly and stay in action more consistently if you
connect with either a COACH or a MASTER MIND
GROUP – or both. The benefits you receive of
accountability, perspective, collective resources, and
synergy are immense and will pay for themselves many
times over.
92
The most common mistake people make when they get
to this stage, even assuming they have done enough of
the inner work on themselves from the Zeroth and 1st
Law, is to fail to garner ample support.
You need to align with other like-‐minded, like-‐spirited
people. Some of them may be peers with a common
focus, some could be potential customers or clients,
some could be experts in this particular area. They must
be 100% supportive and have wisdom, energy and
ideas to contribute, and above all, they must hold you
accountable so you do what you say you are going to do,
when you say you’ll do it. They need to be your
cheerleaders, friends, teachers and mentors.

“You evolve at the rate of the tribe you are plugged into.” – Carolyn Myss THE THIRD LAW: The Law of Attraction Hooray! Now you have made the transition into actually
RECEIVING your desire.
The keys to this stage are to RECOGNIZE it when it
shows up, and – crucially – to EMBRACE AND ACCEPT
the blessing with gratitude.
The actual attracting itself takes a nanosecond, one
moment it’s not here, the next it is. But you do need to
have your intuitive development open enough so you
94
follow the divine signs and make the right choices so the
Universe’s gift to you can land in your open hands.
So at this stage, meditation and intuitive training, along
with continuing to keep your self-‐love, clarity and
alignment strong, are the best practices. And be sure to
hugely give thanks!
THE FOURTH LAW:
The Law of Cocreative Expansion
Here it is! You can touch it, see it, hear it, taste it, smell
it, embrace it. People don’t usually think beyond the
Attraction. It’s here. Isn’t that enough? Can’t I just float
along now and everything is just “happily ever after”?
Actually, no. You need to NURTURE IT (whether “it” is a
relationship, a career, health, home, etc.) You want to
make sure your beautiful blessing is maintained in a
way that is sustainable, mutual and satisfying, so it
95
continues to grow with you and you with it. Take it to
the next level, and the next...
This transition is all about connection, communication
and cocreativity so you continue to grow and learn.
Picture ever-‐widening circles...
You also need to give yourself permission to ENJOY it!
It’s amazing how many people self-‐ sabotage and ruin
things when the very thing they were asking for and
working toward is finally here. So, yes, be PRESENT and
cherish each moment.
And you need to continue to GIVE THANKS and never
take it for granted.
At this level, it’s also important to RE-‐EVALUATE your
new needs, and desires and cycle through all the laws so
you take appropriate next steps. When one goal is
fulfilled, this will always inspire new goals so we are
96
always simultaneously in various stages, applying the
Laws to various goals, which all interweave to create
the tapestry of our lives.
Finally, now that your amazing treasure is here, you feel
an intense passion deep within. You are fired up with a
desire to HELP OTHERS. Find ways to “pay it forward,”
to inspire or mentor someone else in your life to help
them succeed. You may feel called to write about your
journey, to teach or simply to take someone else under
the wing and help them, too, because the spark of love
and Spirit is glowing stronger in you now than ever.
Your soul cries out and you have to share and serve, to
share this spark like ripples of positive transformation
because your blessing is a blessing for all beings!
ALLOWING ~ ALIGNING ~ ACTION ~ ATTRACTION
COCREATIVE EXPANSION!

Getting into Action Exercise #6:
Choose 3 of your most important life goals, big
intentions for what you want to improve in your life,
such as “manifest my divine right mate,” or “buy my
dream home and land.”
For each goal, honestly assess for yourself, which
Law/Stage are you at right now? What can you do,
either with or without support, to move out of that
stage and onto the next level? Make a plan of action and
begin to implement it, with the support of your
accountability partners.
You will notice that for different goals and desires that
you wish to manifest, you are at different stages of these
laws. They are a cycle. Having a deeper understanding
of how the laws work as well as processes for helping
you navigate them gracefully and graduate to the next
level will hugely accelerate your success!

Chapter 5
Intuitive Journaling and the
7 Essential Soul Questions
Many of us discovered journaling when we were
tweens or teens and used it mostly to bitch and whine,
worry and wonder "Will Tommy (or Tammy) EVER like
me?" and "Why don't my parents EVER understand
me!!!" kind of thing. I've heard this called "vomiting on
the page" and I think this is a somewhat accurate if
graphic metaphor!
This journaling does serve a purpose of giving you
a safe place to process things. But if that is all you ever
do with your journaling, just as if all you ever do in
therapy is talk talk talk, you are not going to get out of
your loop and create something NEW in your life. It
keeps you stuck and attached energetically to your old
patterns, feelings and beliefs.
So, what to do? During this course, and for those of
you who continue onward with the Prosperity, Passion,
99
Purpose coaching, I'm going to help you take your
journaling to a more mature, spiritual and positive,
empowering level. Here's how:
There are 4 purposes for journaling, 4 ways to
journal:
1) Page Dump/Processing. As mentioned above,
venting, processing, whining (“why”ning!), worrying.
We may need to do this from time to time. However it’s
best if a lot of that does NOT go in your Prosperity
Journal, but in an "everyday" journal, if you have one.
The more positive forms of journaling that most of you
need to develop are these 3, which we will call SPIRITUAL
JOURNALING:
2) Intuitive Journaling. Turning your pen over to
Spirit/Source. Having a conversation with God/The
Universe on the written page. (You can also
100
converse with parts of yourself in this manner,
your child self, your future self, Highest Self,
creative self, male/female self, etc.) It does not
matter if you feel that the source of Truth is inside
of you or outside of you. Both are true.
Oh, you may need to vent a bit first, just to express
yourself, then switch gears (and maybe even journals
if you feel like it) and write a letter to God/dess, to
your angels, your totems, ancestors, whoever you are
guided to call upon in that moment. These are all just
forms/subsets of the ONE source of all truth and love.
With practice, you will get better at this divine
dictation.
You really do have a direct line, 24/7 and intuitive
journaling is a great way to build your relationship with
Spirit, to Hear and heed, to See and understand more
consistently and clearly.
101
There is a great book about this called Writing Down
Your Soul by Janet Conner. I do recommend it.
3) Gratitude Journaling. Writing what you are thankful
for. This really does keep the flow of blessings more
open, and helps you attract, allow, appreciate and
ENJOY the treasures and pleasures of life. Many people
love to do this each night to savor the day and go to
sleep with a peaceful, great-‐full heart!
4) Intention Setting/Visioning. Using words to describe
what you WANT but doing so as if it's already real.
I saw a sign at a Renaissance Fair booth that said:
WISH = WHAT IS STATED HAPPENS.
This is your Law of Attraction work. Affirmations go
here. Also your mission statement, vision statement, we
will get more into this later but for those of you already
creating this kind of thing -‐ or ready to do so – your
vision or mission statement needs to be JUICY. It needs
102
to evoke your joy! Inspire your YES! Describe your ideal
life in present tense with power and gratitude (there's
that G word again! And did you know that GOD =
Gratitude Opening Doors? It’s true.)
There is a 5th positive purpose that evolves from
journaling -‐ but I am not listing it separately because it
is best arrived at through one of the above positive
journaling methods, usually intuitive journaling OR the
visioning. (Yes, those two are interconnected because as
you ask Spirit to guide you, you will begin to perceive
images, thoughts and feelings that relate to your best
life, the life you are here to create.)
And this 5th positive thing that can naturally
unfold as you do more spiritual journaling is DEFINING
YOUR ACTION STEPS. This is more than just list making
and goal setting, but those are part of it. Rather than just
your head, you plan via guidance from a HIGHER
SOURCE, that is both inner and outer.
103
Align and define, so you act and attract.
Now that you have a much fuller journaling
toolbox, you will greatly benefit from expanding or
developing a daily practice journaling. This will help
you at every stage, from initiation to inspiration,
intention to implementation.
Journaling, including spiritual journaling, is one of
the best ways we know of to become a more powerful
manifester of your dream life. Throughout this program,
we will provide more specific suggestions for journaling
methods, beginning with the 6 Essential Soul Questions
below, but do give yourself permission to explore these
four types of journaling as you desire, anytime.
♥
104
The 7 Essential Soul Questions
Spiritual evolution and material success support
mutually build when you learn to grow from
overreaction, to calm reaction, to conscious, loving
action. These 7 Soul Questions will guide you into
becoming more of who you really are. We suggest you
write them on index cards, sticky note papers, put them
on the fridge, share them with others and train yourself
to return to this awareness over and over.
Some of them seem to ask the same thing but in a
slightly different way. Depending on your present state,
different word combinations will work best for you.
Remember, words are energy bundles that elicit a
response. Words have tremendous power!
THESE QUESTIONS ARE ARROWS
POINTING YOU TO YOUR SOUL.
105
Trust and you will know which questions to use
when. Or just write them all on separate index cards, on
one side only. Ask for guidance, then pick one up, either
consciously (reading the words then choosing) or
superconsciously, intuitively, like a divination method,
without looking at the questions, letting Spirit guide you
to the right question now.
Ask yourSelf throughout the day, then pause to
“listen.” You may wish to journal to intuitively
channel your answer, or your guidance may come
later, in any form. Here are the 7 questions to ask
throughout your life:
106
The 7 Soul Questions
1-‐How can I love myself and my life even more?
2-‐Are my giving and receiving in equal balance? If
not, how can I receive more, so I can give from a
full place? (Also look at doing/being)
3-‐How can I allow more joy into my life?
(more goodness, more love, more abundance,
more pleasure, more happiness)
4-‐What would Love do now?
5-‐Is this choice (this thought, this lifestyle) in
alignment with who I really am?
6-‐How can I nourish and express my true essence
right now?
7-‐How can this be a moment of Love?
(or Gratitude, Peace, Joy, Abundance, etc.)
107
Chapter 6:
A Message from The Alliance of Light
On Pleasure, Happiness and Joy
You humans have a great, abiding confusion that we
would like to clear up right now. (Laughter, actually you
have more than one! But let’s stick to one at a time.)
You are confusing pleasure with happiness with joy.
These are three totally different conditions and they are
found or created very differently. You cannot buy eggs at
a shoestore. So allow us to assist you with this.
There are many outer activities that can bring you
pleasure and social engagement and temporary
happiness. Pleasure derives from temporary physically
pleasant observation through your five senses: sight,
sound, taste, touch and smell.
This includes food, sex, music, flowers, sleep, art and
much that is beautiful and good for your body as well as
your soul.
108
The definition is that you experience pleasure
through the portal of the flesh in some way. Pleasure
relates to the lower two chakras, the root and the
sacral/sexual chakra.
Such pleasures are all good so long as they bring
harm to none, you engage in these fun activities with
resources you have available, e.g. you are not spending
money you need for other things on frivolous shopping or
drinking alcohol, etc.
And you are not focusing on pleasure to excess
(hedonism, although women do it, too, shedonism)… Look
what happened to the Roman Empire!
Some people need to absolutely refrain from certain
pleasurable activities because they cannot indulge in
them in moderation or in a healthy manner. You need to
decide that for yourself and ideally will learn to tune in to
your body so you can adjust this on a moment-‐by-‐moment
basis.
109
One way to do this is to ask yourself when choosing
what to do with your body:
Is this choice for my highest good?
Can I do this and remain healthy, happy and
balanced?
So if pleasure is a sensory-‐based yummy tingle, glow
or zing, what is happiness? Happiness results from
something external also, but it has a higher, deeper
quality because it is in the context of relationship and
love or what you would call accomplishment or personal
power. Success.
For example, you feel happiness when someone you
are attracted to shares your interest, when you get a
good approval at work or sales are good, when you
graduate, rise in love (it is a higher not lower state!), get
married or buy your first house.
There is a sense of “I am doing well, people like me, I
am being seen and recognized.” Happiness is based in
110
your 3rd (power center) and 4th (heart/emotional center)
chakras.
Like pleasure, happiness stems from your inward
interpretation of something that is externally centered.
While pleasure is based in the physical body,
happiness is mostly based in the emotions or heart, the
emotional body.
Also like pleasure, happiness cannot last because
everything changes.
If you live your life limited to these two levels,
pleasure and happiness, the lower 4 chakras, you end up
riding a rollercoaster, always reacting to what is
happening outside, what your circumstances reflect at
the moment.
So many of you spend decades or entire lifetimes
chasing pleasure and happiness when what you really
need is joy. This is why, at midlife, it is common for people
to look around at the physical trappings of an allegedly
111
successful life, and wonder: Why don’t I feel wonderful
yet?
Like your joke about the kids in the car always
asking: Are we there yet?
You cannot tell that you are already there, right
here. Life itself is the destination. Love is the road.
“There is JOY in the JOurneY.”
-‐Archangel Michael via Sage
The thrill of buying that new car, of getting that
raise, of the face lift or boob bounce or whatever you call
such ridiculous things, wears off quickly, yes? The glow of
an enjoyable family gathering, the satisfaction of doing a
good deed and making a difference, the sense of “Ah, I did
it and this is great!” when you create something
meaningful, these are more satisfying, more real. Yet
these, too, wear off over time.
Only joy is ever-‐present. Only joy abides and
abounds, everywhere, no matter what.
112
You do not need to leave the desire-‐based pleasure
and happiness-‐seeking parts of yourself behind entirely as
you ascend and come into greater communion with your
spiritual nature. Some religions or teachers tell you to do
that, which is essentially telling you it is wrong to have a
body, wrong to want to be seen or valued or loved.
You are in human form for a reason, and it is totally
natural to have physical desires, to enjoy chocolate and
orgasms and your feet in the ocean.
It is totally natural to smile and feel gleeful when
you are being handed a certificate or someone says “I love
you” or “I’m proud of you.”
But when we talk about “JOY,” we are referring to
something even deeper, more eternal, and more internal.
Joy is the nectar of the Spirit.
The joy we refer to is the inner bliss of an awakened
being and an open heart.
Through your connection to Source, your oneness
with God and Nature and All That Is, you rediscover who
113
you truly are. And in this state of oneness, there is no need
for outer activity or validation of any kind.
You access and cultivate this inner joy by simply being.
Joy arises in the heart and ascends and transcends
through the crown chakra to heaven, bringing us to the
awareness that we are already in heaven, right here,
right now. (Thus it relates to chakras 4 through 8, the
chakra above your 7th chakra that is in the center of
heaven, total oneness with God, thus the infinity symbol
being #8.)
Joy arises instantly; joy sings your soul’s song all
along and the moment you remember WHO YOU ARE.
Joy is the fullest experience of the Godself. You are all
born in joy, then there is a long dark night of the soul
during which time you keep looking for it in the wrong
places, namely outside of you. Joy is love. Joy is God. Joy is
now. Joy is you. Joy is.
114
There is nothing you need to do, nowhere you need
to go, no one you need to find, no accomplishment or
material belonging that can help you find it. Because it
has never left you.
Joy is the ecstasy of your true being.
How do you experience this joy, this truth, this love?
The word meditation comes closest in the language this is
being written in, but it is not grand enough because most
of you have a concept of meditation that is too limited. In
India they call it Nirvana. You think you have to “do
meditation” a certain way, that you have to have your
eyes closed, have to listen to music or chant or follow a
teacher or guru or go to a class or do yoga. And most of
you think you stink at it!
Those meditation methods are all fine if they help
you experience what is already, all ready, always, all ways
inside of you. It does not matter if your eyes are open or
closed, if you are moving or still, if you are alone or with
others, if you are indoors or out, or what time of day it is
115
or what the planets are doing. Do whatever helps you
come home to this perfect moment, the greatest gift of the
present. Do whatever helps you NOT do.
The truth is, life is an ongoing meditation.
And joy is who you ARE.

Chapter 7:
GRATITUDE Is the Attitude of Plentitude! Do you know what gratitude stands for? GREAT + ATTITUDE = GRATITUDE! The best way to keep the faucet of blessings in your life open and flowing is to give abundant, heartfelt thanks for all the blessings you already have. Plus, it's just good manners to give thanks for any gift, and Spirit has given you so much! AA Michael and I would even go so far as to say: Gratitude = GODitude!
“Gratitude is a blessing magnet.”
– Sage and Archangel Michael
117
Three Gratitude Exercises 1. The 10 Breaths of Gratitude Take 10 breaths consciously focusing on gratitude with each breath. You can simply think the word or concept of "gratitude" or "Thank you." Or you can think of a different thing to be thankful for with each breath. Do this practice regularly. It can be fit into your day easily, when driving in traffic, when in line, when on hold, etc. If you don't have time for 10 breaths, take 5, or 3 ... 2. My feet thank the Earth Buddhist monk and spiritual teacher Thich Nhat Hanh invites us to give thanks upon awakening as the feet first touch the Earth. Thank the Earth for supporting you this day. Let each step you take be a gift to the Earth, massaging your home with love, even as with each step the Earth caresses and blesses
118
you. This is also a Native American practice. You may also bend to touch the Earth or kiss the Earth. You may also reach upward to thank the Sky for the air you breathe. 3. Nightly Gratitude In this exercise, every night you say aloud (or silently or whispering) a prayer of thanks. Just before you fall asleep, picture in your mind all the things you have to be grateful for. Instead of counting sheep, you are counting blessings! Here are some categories you may include. So many blessings abound! Things to Be Grateful for: anything special that happened today anything ordinary that happened today! life! health happiness wisdom laughter prosperity all your material stuff a roof over your head all the nice things about your home freedom
119
every one of your senses: sight, sound, taste, touch, smell, extrasensory, and - the most important sense of all! - sense of humor! your family your friends your pets flowers trees food music anything else you enjoy LOVE! I like to end my prayer with: "And thank you for everything else I am forgetting to thank you for!" (Hey, it doesn't hurt to be abundantly appreciative, right? Right!) During your day, you will find yourself making a mental list of things to give thanks for that night. You will notice that your appreciation and awareness of life's joys will increase tenfold. Two things are happening (and they may be the same): 1) You are more aware of the blessings already around you.
120
2) You actually are receiving more blessings, partly because you have a Great Attitude! Either way, the result is the same: The Gratitude Cycle: More Gratitude More Joy More Blessings "Many thanks. All is in perfect order. And so it is." "To be full of greatness, one must first be grateful." -- Sage Still more great(full!) ways to thank the Universe include: 4. Write a Thank-You letter to Spirit/God~dess. Or Mother Earth. Or express your gratitude to Spirit through art, poem, song, etc. (Hey, Santa gets fan mail, why shouldn’t God?) 5. Honor the Medicine Wheel, face the four directions and elements, thanking each one for their gifts. You
121
may also gift to them in return with an offering such as cornmeal, tobacco, sage, love from your heart, a kiss... 6. Give thanks to and with a partner, friend, or group.
(Gratitude Circle)
7. Thank yourself for being wonderful YOU! 8. Give offerings often, on your altar(s), outside, to all
directions. 9. Kiss the ground. Blow kisses to the sky. Bow to everything. As Neal Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God, says, the correct prayer is one of gratitude. This serves you in at least two ways: 1) It helps you see and appreciate the blessings already filling your life. Your cup is not half empty. It's not even just half full. It's 90% full right now.
122
Focus on what you have, what you are, not what is missing. Life is the journey, not a destination. 2) Gratitude actually keeps the faucet of blessings open and flowing. Thanks for listening, God! *** Give thanks.
123
ON GRATITUDE An Alliance of Light Channeling via Sage How often do you hear those words yet sometimes think “What do I have to be thankful for? I have SO many problems!” You are going through an accelerated time on your planet right now. Actually there are many planets experiencing this as this phenomenon is not limited to just Earth; it is an intergalactic wave of particle acceleration due to the manner in which time, space and other dimensions for which you do not yet have sufficient names are colliding, collapsing and preparing to expand again. This will not be as dramatic as The Big Bang as you call it, which seeded your Universe and set what you call matter into motion. However, it will be the most dramatic shift that life forms on your planet have experienced since the Dinosaur Age ended.
124
So why are we saying all this when the focus is on gratitude? It all comes down to one or two very simple concepts which you already intellectually KNOW yet you do not yet full OWN NOW. Notice how the letters in OWN and NOW are built right into know. You need to go from a cocky, head-based “I know that already” knowingness to an intrinsic, extrinsic, implicit, elicit NOWingness. You need to live it. You need to love it. You need to see it. You need to BE it. Ah. So what exactly is this “it” to which we refer? There are many words for this It. Some call It Love. Some, Beauty. Some call it Joy. Some, God. Some call it Healing. Some, Laughter. Some call it Peace. Some, Harmony. Some call it Oneness. Others, Miracles. Some call it Mystery. Others, Mastery. What you call It doesn’t matter.
125
For this purpose in this moment, we shall call it The Ineffable. It can be called the All, the Call, The Great Beyond, The Noosphere, The Collective Consciousness, the Source, the Force. A horse is a horse, of course, of course! A rose by any other name would smell like a rose, not a horse. And that is something to be grateful for, yes?! Yes! (That was Archangel Michael piping in to keep it Light!) So what is our point here? Two points:
1. 1) The way to live it, love it, see it and BE it is to be
here now. Be. Hear! Now.
2. 2) There is ALWAYS something to be thankful for.
Always. When you are little children, you are taught to: “Look both ways before crossing the street,” remember that? This is a good metaphor because, as long as you are in human form, you always have a capacity to see “both
126
ways.” You can see through what Sage and we call your “lower heart” and/or you can see through your “higher heart.” When you see through your lower heart, you are following your e-motions and there will be a constant jostling and jousting. Who’s on top. Who’s on first. What’s on second. Seriously, your lower heart, your lower emotional center, is like a roller coaster. One moment, (you feel like) you’re on top of the world, the next moment, everything sucks and (you feel like) you’re in an abyss of despair and hopelessness. The only thing constant about this world view is that it is constantly changing. The important thing to understand about this sight is that it is reactive. The lower emotional center looks outside of your true self and sees, “Hmm, my ego likes this. This makes me feel good or it may in the future bring something good my way so I feel happy about this. This makes me happy.”
127
This pseudohappiness is elusive. It can never last because in the next second or hour or day, something else will “happen” out there or “to” you which the EGO (Emotional Gratification Outcome device) says, “Ewwwww, bad news! This is not what I was hoping for. I do not like this so this makes me unhappy, upset, mad, afraid, sad...” Do you see the black-or-white thinking here? It’s like your EGO has 2 modes. I like. I do not like. Click here. The truth is that everything, EVERYTHING has a blessing in it. Sometimes the very things you consider the worst news (outcome) can be the very BEST thing that can happen. The truth, too, is that you are choosing and creating EVERYTHING. You either do this consciously or unconsciously.
128
So if there are things in your life that it is hard for you to be thankful for, say illness or bills you cannot afford to pay or a difficult relationship, you need to remember and RealEyes that THIS, TOO, HAS A GIFT FOR ME. The times that are tough always teach you to clarify what you really, really, REALLY want. What you desire. What you deserve. And sometimes you can only know what you want by first getting very clear about what you do not want. So give thanks for the gift of clarity. So we guarantee that that lesson, that silver lining, that lemonade is in there. The other gift that is always, always in there, even in the most difficult situations for you, is that you are becoming stronger. The steel is tempered by fire. The old “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” Ask yourself, what resource did this bring forth in me? (or is it bringing forth in me, for a current challenge)
129
We guarantee that, as long as you are looking consciously and reflecting so you can learn the lesson, there is always a gift of strength. There are many other lessons and gifts: That old lesson of patience and persistence. The gift of faith. The ability to ask for help and receive. The capacity to set limits. To create balance. To forgive and let go. To love unconditionally. To rebirth yourself and begin again. My goodness. My Godness! You may say. Look at all those gifts. We know it is EASY to say thank you for certain gifts your Creator and your Self have been gifting to you. Maybe in this moment you find it easy to say thank you for your home, or your family, for your nice, reliable car, for food,
130
for friends. Maybe you can feel a deep rumbling gratitude in your heart to give thanks for life itself. For love. Or for the ultimate MetaMegaGratitude: Give thanks for the ability to give thanks! We know that there are some experiences, people, placees, things, that you just plain ol’ see more as a struggle or curse than a blessing or gift. We want you to find the ribbons and untie the gift that you have not been seeing. So take a moment right now to give thanks. Really. Truly. Fully. Give thanks for whatever is easy to give thanks for. Pour out your praise like freeflowing wine. When the wine begins to slow down and you feel a whine coming in to take its place (!), that is when the deeper digging and the greater healing takes place. Touch your
131
grief. Say hello to your rage. Embrace your lost self. Dance your forgiveness. Talk to the highest self of anyone you need to let go of or forgive. Forgive yourself. Forgive God. And you will find, yes, you will find, that there is another level of truth and healing and love beneath even the forgiveness level and that is where true gratitude lies. You can love what is. What was. What shall be. Begin now. “When you can find the gift, you can feel the Shift!” – Archangel Michal via Sage During a channeled Omnidimensional Healing Modality (OHM) session
132
Chapter 8: You Deserve True Prosperity:
Self-‐Love Is the First Key
In just a moment you will hear from Archangel
Michael and the guides directly but first I want to
explain the paradigm we will be using.
Michael explained to me that in order to vastly
improve our lives, we need to think in terms of portals.
A portal is a gateway, like a door or tunnel from where
you are now to where you want to be. From your
current life to your ideal life of total success, health,
wealth, and happiness.
We need to imagine a Golden Portal filled with
divine light. On the other side of the portal is our very
best life, the life we are destined to live.
We can use this concept of portals many ways
throughout the day as follows:
1-‐Picture that every door you go through is a Golden
Portal. Charge it with divine light by seeing and feeling
the golden light from Heaven and from the Earth
133
flowing into the doorway, imbuing it and everything
and everyone who goes through it with miraculous
healing and blessings.
2-‐Make a manifesting portal in your home.
I recommend you use the front door for this but it could
also be a door to a particular room. Using your right
index finger, make a clockwise circle by pointing your
finger at the door and imagining golden light coming
from Source into you and out your finger to rim the
door with gold. Do this three times and declare “This is
a Golden Portal of divine light. All who go through this
doorway are forever blessed. And I know it is so. And so
it is!” You can also say thank you, Amen, Awomen,
Blessed Be, Ho, or whatever you like to say at the end of
a prayer.
3-‐Use naturally occurring portals and charge them as
Golden Portals. This could include rocks or trees that
overhang.
134
The symbology of the portal is based in the power
of the circle representing the eternal cycle, the seasons,
the Medicine Wheel, the womb, the beginning. All things
have a circular or round nature if you examine them
closely enough. This is especially true for images or
objects that are beautiful and sacred such as flowers,
mandalas, dances, and so on.
We can learn to focus our intention and will on
sacred symbols and forms, in this case the circle, to
serve as portals literally into the Universe (or
YOUniverse because YOU are creating it!) that we desire
to be in.
Once you have created the portal, you need to use
the right tools and create your inner shift so you can go
through your portal successfully and joyously. And of
course, we are never done birthing ourselves and
recreating our lives, so we are never done defining and
going through portals, either!
Your Golden Portal has 3 keys that you need to use
To be an effective manifester of your dream life:
135
The first key, which is the essential foundation, is
UNCONDITIONAL, DEEP SELF-‐LOVE.
The capacity to really believe and know, with all
parts of your being, that you DESERVE all the pleasures
and treasures, all the love, money and joy you desire. No
matter what. Simply because you are good and worthy
just as you are.
Self-‐love is everyone’s core issue. Author and
inspirational speaker Louise Hay has said that no
matter what anyone comes to her to work on, whether
career, relationships, health or whatever their issue
may be, where they have to go together in the healing
work is always, always to greater self-‐love. And I fully
agree, having seen this in every client and student in my
18 years practicing as a healer, counselor and teacher.
Your self-‐love reflects and defines your ability to
attract, receive, keep and enjoy all the good stuff! You
may find you have a track record for being able to
attract but then the love or money just goes right out
again. Or you are able to keep it for a while but you
136
cannot “allow yourself” to enjoy it because you’re afraid
it won’t last or feel guilty about it. These ALL indicate
the need to enhance your self-‐love.
“Loving yourself is the greatest work you will do.”
-‐ Daphne Rose Kingma
And we are never “done” with our self-‐love. You will
never wake up and say “Oh, good, I don’t have to focus
on self-‐love anymore.” It is an ongoing challenge and
opportunity, the most important work of our lives.
If you are wondering how much you really do love
yourself, I suggest you take the Self-‐Love Quiz in my
book: The Radical Self-‐Love Workbook. And if you sense
that you have a great deal of self-‐love and deservingness
work to still do, I do suggest you read that book and
work through those exercises either before or
concurrent with the practices in this program.
Now, let’s hear what the guides have to say about this
important lifelong issue for you.
137
♥
The Law of Self-‐Love
(and The Real Truth of Who You Are)
Please read the following messages from Archangel Michael
and The Alliance of Light, channeled by Sage, on separate
occasions. You need to take some time in between reading
these sections to absorb their healing power.
The importance of self-‐love cannot be overstated and
must not be underestimated. It needs to be understood
and overlaid throughout all each one of you does, day in
and day out, over and over, like a thread of gossamer
woven from your heart to your head to your hands.
The Real Truth of Who You Are is so magnificent, many of
you cannot quite see it, grasp it without feeling blinded or
being triggered into one of “your” negative reactionary
denials: “That’s not true, I don’t deserve that.”
138
The Real Truth of Who You Are is so miraculous, just
reading these words, for those of you who are ready to
remember, or even ready to become ready, will serve as a
gateway to bliss and to the fulfillment of your heart’s
every desire.
The Real Truth of Who You Are is so magical, the moment
you truly absorb it, the moment you allow its power to
permeate, to penetrate, to radiate into you and through
you and from you and for you, the instant you make that
shift from ego to me-‐glow, the very second you reactivate
the light matrix of your true being, every cell comes alive
and alight!
Every eye, every “I” opens into a glorious awareness of
love everywhere, everywhen, everyhow, for there is
nothing, no thing but God and Love and Love and God and
YOU.
You are God.
139
You are Love.
You are everything, everywhere, always.
Life is your mirror.
The world is your paradise or your hell, as you make it.
The universe is your YOUniverse.
You are shaping yourself and All That Is with each
thought,
conscious or unconscious.
You are recreating yourself and All That Is with each act,
conscious or unconscious.
You are redefining, realigning and refining yourself and
your life and your world, indeed, you are choosing which
YOUniverse you are choosing to reside in!
Your attention and intention are EVERYTHING.
140
Hear me, dear one.
ALL that you seek already exists, within you and around
you.
ALL that you desire is already here.
As you FEEL, you heal.
You need to feel and heal so you can deal – with zeal!
Here is how you do that:
You choose to BE the love you are.
You choose to BE the abundance you are.
You choose to BE the health you are.
You choose to BE the joy you are.
You choose to BE the peace you are.
When do you choose this?
Now.
And now.
141
And now.
How do you choose this?
Especially when there are so many stresses and negative
messages,
such a sense of overload and so much fear rampant
amongst all of you.
You choose by declaring to anything that does not feel
GOD to you:
I am not that.
I AM (this).
You need to fully comprehend that the words “I AM” are
God’s name, God’s expression of the Godself. They are the
most powerful words in your language. In any language.
Everything you attach to “I AM” – which always needs to
be stated and written with full loving awareness –
becomes what you experience.
142
To loneliness, you declare: I AM fulfilled.
I AM always loved.
To fear, you declare: I AM always taken care of.
I AM empowered to create my new, true reality.
To poverty and lack, you declare:
I AM abundantly prosperous.
I AM grateful for all that is good in my life.
To doubt and negative self-‐talk, you declare:
I AM deserving and good.
I AM worthy of every pleasure and treasure in life.
To stress and worry, you declare:
I AM remembering that everything turns out all right.
I AM honoring all my life experiences.
I AM choosing to be peaceful, no matter what.
143
The power to choose lies with you right now.
It is true that we bring to you the right teachers and
teachings, the right tools and techniques that empower
you to empower yourself, at the right time. However, the
most important highest truth is that you do not actually
need anything or anyone outside of yourself to tell you the
truth of Who You Really Are.
Anything “outside” of you has value for you if it resonates
with and amplifies what is already “inside” of you. This is
another way of stating the Highest Truth that there is
really no separation, no boundary between you and not-‐
you, between inside and outside.
When you are looking and listening and living from your
higher heart’s wisdom, you will see and hear reflected
back to you your own truths. The very truths, the very
choices, the very feelings, the very experiences YOU are
aligned with in this moment.
144
And because there is a time lag on Earth between focus
and form, between your intention and the manifestation
of your desire physically, it will seem to you like it is
taking “time” for your desire to “show up.”
The truth is, when it is already real within you, when 51%
or more of you is consistently vibrating AS IF “it” is
already here, when you are feeling that joy, that
gratitude, that peace, that love, that freedom that you
“will” have when “it” arrives, your desire will absolutely
magnetically manifest physically.
Thought begets feeling begets action begets form.
You are benefitting from reading and hearing these
words, not because of the words or even the messages, but
because of the vibrational realignment they cause.
145
What we are doing with these channelings, worldwide,
both written and aloud, is helping you awaken from a
deep slumber. Helping you remove the veil and the
blindfold. Helping you, as Michaelangelo said of his
sculpting, “remove the unnecessary bits” so the true
beauty – of you and of your world -‐ already within you,
already around you, already WHO YOU ARE, can shine
forth.
Helping you love who you are so you can love what is in
your life.
We are not adding to your pail.
We are helping you see how full it already is.
Everything comes from inside.
Stop looking for the love outside. It is inside.
Stop looking for the money outside. It is inside.
Stop looking for the healing outside. It is inside.
Stop looking for the truth outside. It is inside.
146
The more you see this and appreciate this,
the more good luck and fortune and blessings you attract
-‐ AND are capable of keeping and enjoying.
Thus, the Law of Deserving, also known as the Law of
Self-‐Love, comes first, before the Law of Attraction, or the
Law of Action.
The Law of Self-‐Love is the ultimate law of alignment.
Until you have abundant self-‐love and self-‐worth in place,
deep within you, regardless of what others think or say or
do, regardless of how much money or sex or approval you
have, none of your efforts to create and attract and
manifest will amount to much because it will not feel
satisfying.
You will sabotage your own success until you are LINED
UP with it.
147
Until you love yourself so abundantly, so joyously, that
you feel an “Of course I deserve that!” and absolutely
KNOW IT IS YOUR TRUTH.
When you are vibrationally aligned with the Highest
Truth of Who You Really Are, you RealEyes that life is JOY.
You can then attract more of what you want by
appreciating more of what you have and being all of who
you are.
We have so much more to share with you. But most of all,
this:
We love you.
♥
This is Archangel Michael, and today I AM here to talk to
you about love.
148
Not romantic, gooey, puppy-‐dog eyed sexual love.
Not the protective, tender love you feel for your child.
Not the agape love you feel for all of humanity.
Not the warm, glowing love you feel for a long-‐term
friend, who’s been there for you through thick and thin.
Not even the higher love two sacred partners cocreate, in
passion and compassion, as they light the world.
I’m talking about the most important love of them all:
The one love that makes all the other forms of love
secondary icing on the cake.
I’m talking about the cake, the butter, the batter, the
better part of YOU.
I’m talking about SELF-‐LOVE.
149
Now here’s the thing.
You think you love yourself.
I know you do.
And sometimes you really do love yourself.
I know you do.
But you don’t love yourself ENOUGH.
I know you don’t.
When’s the last time you took a whole DAY OFF just to do
nothing?
Whatever your definition of “doing nothing” is, maybe
lying in bed, reading, napping, watching fun movies,
journaling, or just watching the rain trickle down the
window pane?
Uh-‐huh, thought so.
And when’s the last time you thanked, really thanked
every part of your body, every pat of your body imbued
with and radiating an infinite gratitude and
appreciation?
150
That’s what I thought.
And when’s the last time you wrote a love letter….to
YOURSELF?
Cooked a meal for yourself as if you were the Most
Important Person in the World?
Scheduled a date with yourself, and honored it and had a
blast celebrating…YOU?
Or how about gave yourself an award?
Took yourself on vacation (or even on a mini-‐retreat),
without feeling guilty?
When money comes in, where does it go first?
Bills, huh?
Let me tell you something.
If you don’t pay the debt you owe to yourself first and
foremost, those other bills will keep growing and you will
never get off the hamster wheel of distress, dat stress, it’s
151
all just spinning around you with no exit door or strategy
or sign.
I know you know what I’m talking about.
You’ve been spinning.
You’ve been giving and doing and running and working
and “managing” and doing and worrying and giving and
doing some more, haven’t you?
Well, this is why we’re having this little conversation.
It feels like you are racing too fast, your train is out of
control and you’re wondering “Where are the brakes on
this thing, anyway?”
You do need brakes. They’re called BREAKS.
You need down time and clown time. (Do nothing! Be
goofy!)
152
Gown time and crown time. (Dress up! Treat yourself like
royalty!)
You absolutely NEED to put yourself first.
Not every single minute, but every single day, yes,
For at least a half an hour.
Ideally for an hour or more.
And every week, for at least half a day.
And every season, for a few days to retreat and recharge.
So, allow me to recap that for you. Here we go:
From now on, because you love yourself, because you
deserve pleasure, because you are only able to serve and
help others when you can give from a full place, because
the harmster wheel (yes, I did type it that way!) and the
“LOCO”motion don’t work and you know something has
to change NOW, and the change has to come from inside
of you, and the power inside you and all around you and
153
driving this positive change is the only power that ever is,
was or shall be, the power of LOVE, for all these reasons
and many more, from this moment on:
I begin and end my day with sacred awareness.
A quiet time of regeneration and rebirth.
This could be meditation, reading something
inspirational, journaling, making art, conscious
movement, affirmations, prayer, ceremony, gratitude,
breathwork, energy healing, self-‐touch or bathing with
loving awareness as an act of cleansing, or some other act
and art of self-‐love that fills your spring and makes you
say “Ahhhhhhh.”
This time may be called your Golden Hour for, like the
dawn, it brings new light into your being and reveals the
beauty that was hidden. You can call it Me Time, Be Time.
You can call it Self-‐Love Time or Body and Spirit Time. It
154
doesn’t mater what you call it as long as you DO it by not
doing.
You are giving thanks for another day of living and
loving.
You are saying hello to your Creator and your wonderful
YOUniverse.
You are listening and opening and flowing and glowing.
You are BEing.
Blessed. Being.
If you feel guided to do so, as long as it does not feel like
“work,” you can also focus your intention for the rest of
your day.
This can be done in an affirmative manner:
“Today I am healthy, wealthy and happy.
Today everything I do goes well and flows well.
Today I am of divine service and I am lucky and blessed.”
155
Or in a prayerful manner:
“Spirit, today may I be healthy, wealthy and happy.
Let everything I do go well and flow well.
Help me be of divine service, feeling lucky and blessed.”
Or some combination of the two modes, the former being
in a state of knowingness, the latter being in a state of
communion (come! Union!) with your Source, and asking.
You will find that devoting this time, even if it is 15
minutes, to your Self, to your Spirit, to honor you and
Love and God first thing in the morning before you do
anything else, will truly transform your life.
I AM with you.
God is with you.
You are loved.
And you are love.
156

Today we want to take this time to impart to you, to
impress upon you how important it is for you to
remember WHO YOU ARE.
You will hear us remind you of this over and over again,
here in these pages, and throughout your life.
There will be times when your soul just calls out to you, in
a soulful longing, in a heartful cry, in a passionate YES! –
and if you but listen, you will experience a life of joy
beyond description, beyond imagining.
You can cultivate a closer connection, a stronger
communion, a clearer communication between “you”
(your identity, ego, personality-‐based, socialized human
self) and “You” (your Highest Self, your intuition, your
oneness with Spirit, you deep soul’s wisdom).
157
As you can see, it’s easy to get bogged down in words just
trying to describe these concepts that are so vast, so
metaphysical. So, for the sake of clarity and brevity, we
will refer to these aspects of your awareness and your
being as you and YOU.
Here are a few ways to clear the static out of the line so
you can hear YOU, therefore you can live in accordance
with the contracts, the soul lessons that YOU signed up for
and you can fulfill YOUR destiny and life mission:
1) Be open. Ask. Listen. Heed and honor the messages.
How, exactly, do you do that? By asking the right
questions. By understanding that the answer can take
any form. Your guidance may come through other people
or their creations (such as through a human teacher or
healer, a book, something a friend says); it may come
through a night dream; it can take a literal or symbolic
form.
158
You can Hear and See and, with a committed practice,
you can and will develop these abilities (clairaudience
and clairsentience). When you Hear, you get words or
even sounds that confirm or warn you, yes, do this, or no,
do not do this. Perhaps you hear your name called, or
music, that is not physically there, yet it IS really there at
a higher realm.
When you See, Spirit/YOU are lighting your own path
through visual imagery. It will not appear the way your
two human eyes see. Many people are confused about
this. They think if they are not seeing a burning bush or
neon lights in the sky, they are not psychic. The truth is,
this Seeing is more subtle. Most people begin by noticing
sparkles or orbs or lines of light that are in/near/imbued
with physical places, things or people.
You all want to see your spirit guides, your angels,
God~dess. The higher truth is, you are seeing this all the
159
time, both in physical form and on non-‐physical form. You
just have to learn to trust it!
You can also Feel and Know. Feeling are the times when
you feel a chill in your body, or you feel physically
attracted to or repelled by something for no “known”
reason, or you feel a comforting presence with you. This is
also the “gut” feeling.
Knowing goes beyond Hearing, Seeing and Feeling and is
just a complete knowingness, beyond symbols or
sensations, a clear, confident “This is the right thing for
me to do.” (Or the wrong thing to do.)
So now that you understand that your soul can be
communicating with you in any of these ways, just as
your spirit guides/God can do, your job is to spend some
time every day saying hello to YOU. And listening.
160
One of the best ways to do this is through intuitive
writing. Invite your Highest Self/Spirit to come fully into
your form, to guide your hands, to be your voice.
Spend time doing this every day. It’s fine to do this at a
computer keyboard (that is how these very words are
being channeled in this moment), or with pen and paper.
Follow the energy. Do what you know is right for YOU in
this moment.
You can have a question in mind, such as the Soul
Questions we are giving you in this book and course.
You can ask more specific, personal questions relating to
earthly concerns and choices you need to make.
Or you can just show up and listen, with no particular
question or aim preconceived. In these cases, you write
something like this:
161
“I AM here. I AM listening. Please guide me.”
And you turn your pen/hands over to YOUrself, to Source,
to Truth, to Love. To God.
Some of you are wondering why we are using terms that
seem to refer to something greater than you, such as God,
Source, Spirit, rather interchangeably with terms that
refer to a part of you, such as your intuition, Highest or
Highest Self, your soul, YOU.
The Highest Truth is this:
YOU are God.
YOU are Love.
YOU are Source.
YOU are one with the infinite knowingness of the
YOUniverse.
YOU are (re)creating yourself as you go along.
Consciously and unconsciously.
162
What you call this energy that is within and between,
beyond and above, below and all around you does not
matter.
That you make it the central focal point of your being,
around which the “rest of your life,” your work, your
relationships, all that you do and have, revolves, matters
a great, great deal.
1) So, we know you are thirsty for specific guidance.
We know you need to be nudged over and over.
We know you are operating in a dense fog of
amnesia and what you need is a return, over and
over to AMness, instead.
We know that some of you have heard these
concepts before, yet you were guided very
purposefully (by YOU and by us, you see, we have
the same goal and in this oneness, are one BEing)
163
to read THESE words at THIS time through THIS
teacher in THIS language in THIS place.
We need you to fully honor the sacredness of these
words, for these are not mere words. They are
worths. They are wisdom. They are wonders.
These words and concepts are vibrationally
realigning you with Truth. With YOU. With God.
And the more you read them, the more you will
absorb them, and the more you absorb them, the
more you will remember who YOU ARE, and the
more you remember who YOU ARE, the more joy
and abundance and love and peace and ecstasy
you will feel and share and be, BE-‐cause you are at
cause, you are the source, you are the force.
And you can choose to awaken right this very
moment.
164
Just. Be. Cause.
Play with that. Stay with that.
Breathe it in until you feel saturated and ready.
Good.
2) In addition to intuitive writing, in addition to
reading these channeled attunements, the 3rd
important peace of the puzzle you have been
missing is to just BE.
You don’t actually need anything fancy, you don’t need to
go to a sacred vortex, you don’t need to go to a temple,
you don’t need a retreat. You just need a re-‐TREAT.
You just need to stop and BE.
We love you and we love YOU, too.
And together we are this love.
