Update from the future: I wrote this in 2014. I've kept the recordings here as a time capsule of what my thought process was back then. Watch my new videos to see if I've learned anything new. Enjoy. :) Listen to the entire book here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyBPfXKjIZlaJuid41e5-AlwdHJdLEpvW Intuitive Life Design: Watching Everything You Desire Unfold In Perfect Timing written and received by Jon Ray questions by Jon Ray and Natalie Jayne Stott The music bed track here is by: Artist: Jonathan Goldman Song: Cosmic Hum Please purchase his music as I have: http://www.healingsounds.com/healing-sounds-online-store/cosmic-hum-cd Agents, Publishers, and Media please contact: Jon Ray - whoisjonray@gmail.com http://facebook.com/jonray http://twitter.com/jonray http://plus.google.com/+JonRay Questions Answered: —Why is money such a tripping point for so many people wishing to manifest a desired reality? —Are you saying that lack, that perpetuation of the feeling of lack, is why money doesn’t come to us? —I’ve spoken to friends that want to leave their jobs, but they can’t because they need money. In this society, we exchange money for other valued gifts, for food. We need money to sustain a lifestyle that is healthy. Money helps us have comfort, have nutrition, have spiritual teaching—we can buy seminars and go through experiences, we can do healing with money. There are a lot of benefits to having money and we might like to have a bit more of it. —Give me an example where I can live in luxury and freedom without money. If this society has a system set up where money is a frequency of exchange, give me an example, right now, where I don’t need money, where I can survive in a certain lifestyle. —So, I can have everything given to me? I can have a house given to me, I can have an apartment, I can have someone else pick up my rent check? —That was a really good idea: using creativity or excitement as a currency. If you’re that driven to think outside the box, though, couldn’t you just as easily think up ways to create and generate an income for yourself, so that you could just pay for your rent? —I’ve been trying to get myself into a feeling of abundance and experience that abundance and expecting abundance to flow to me and I feel like there is an abundance in my life, but there is a lack of money. I’m using myself as an example to help others, as well. I feel like I’m missing something and once I get ahold of the right concept or feeling, I will be able to make a shift. Something that you brought up was the feeling of what you expect money to bring you, be it freedom, be it luxury, quality—if I were to feel those things that I’ve thought money would give me, is that one of the channels for abundance to come? —So, you’re saying follow every intuition and follow each thought that you have and see where they go? —What does an ideal business look like? —So a business should look like any area of your life that you find exciting and abundant? —Is this true for everyone, should we all be starting our own businesses, or is a community business just as valid. What about being an employee? Is working with or for someone else just as valid as having your own business? —Just hearing you talk has inspired some thoughts in me. Could this possibly be the business of the future where partnerships come into play more, communities come into play more, where you gather people of the same ideas and frequencies and energies and excitement towards one subject and you generate the business together and you share the responsibilities, or you take turns leading the business—could this be a possible style of business ownership in the future? —Is the purpose of a business to make money? And if not, what should the purpose be? —Are some businesses evil? —Are you saying that the more people concentrate on their own inspiration in creating their own business and putting their attention and passion into growing something of a good frequency that the companies you do not resonate with will start to fade away, if you don’t put any energy, any time, any money to them? That if everyone did that, they would start to fade away? —So, you’re saying that contrast isn’t really such a bad thing? If it generates an emotion in you, it can actually ignite ideas that allow you and others to create a new way of doing things? —What is the best way to start a business if you don’t have an idea? —What if we already have an idea of a creative solution, but we don’t know how to turn our passion into a money-making business? —What is the best way to grow an existing business? —Is there a best practice for finding and hiring good employees? —What are tangible steps for things that we could do right now to create more success in our life immediately? —How can we attract more money into our lives? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_JSc1g-onw
