Our Abundant Universe[credits]
by Robert Morgen
We live in a perfect, infinite and extremely abundant Universe.
Everything that we could possible need or want is available to us,
once we learn to accept it. Part of the spiritual message that I
want to impart to everyone is that it’s perfectly ok to
accept the abundance that comes your way. Not only that, it’s
also ok to manifest more.
In a limited, finite Universe for one person to have more means
that another has to have less. Too many people today trap
themselves into poverty and utterly hideous lifestyles because they
simply can’t envision the infinity of the resources available
to them. Much of the training that I want to impart to people is
not just that we can live and survive, but that we can live well
and thrive.
When a person has a limited perspective then everything that
person does must come through the filter of those limitations.
Mystic Wolf Press is about breaking free of those limitations and
sharing the bounty and abundance of the universe with as many
people as possible. I believe that Lao Tzu gets the credit for
saying “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man
to fish and feed him for the rest of his life.”
Give yourself permission
In our modern culture we usually look to external sources for
permission to do anything. We’ve become accustomed to being
told what we can and cannot do by the government, the church, our
family, friends and the television.
The simple fact is that every one of us has the ability to
connect to our own inner authority and inner power. Some of the
philosophies and exercises in this book will cover this in more
detail, but for now I want you to give yourself permission to open
your mind and heart and study the information in here from the
attitude of “I CAN”.
Giving yourself permission is the first step in touching and
using your inner authority. It’s the moment when you quit
reacting to what is happening to you and begin to take charge of
your life and chart your own course.
Keeping a Positive Attitude
As you begin to follow this path you’re going to experience
emotions, feelings and in some cases pain. Sometimes it’ll
only make sense years later when you look back on it and realize
what was happening. In many cases starting your business is like
trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle without having any kind of
picture to go by.
No matter what happens, or where you feel drawn to go, a
positive attitude will make the whole thing easier. I try to look
at everything as a test, and that works for my personality. Each
individual moment I have choices that I can make. I can be
enlightened or ignorant, loving or afraid, loud or quiet and it all
depends on my willingness to listen to the inner voices that we all
have. The inner voices (spirit guides?)(Yeah, I know it sounds
crazy) are an amazing asset to keeping you on the right path and
helping you become the person you came here to be.
That kind of insanity requires a positive attitude.
Developing your self-awareness
Becoming the spiritually aware entrepreneur begins with the process
of learning to accept exactly who you are, with all your warts,
wonders and blemishes.
Your self is just like a blanket that you cover up with or a
jacket that you put on. Spend some time becoming completely
comfortable with it and you’ll begin to see that you can put
it on and take it off at will. It’s just an external way to
identify which self is yours. Once you can get beyond that and see
that you don’t really exist, then you can really start having
fun with this stuff.
Developing your self-awareness is a multi-faceted exercise that
encompasses all parts of your being. No matter how good you become
at it there will always be new layers to uncover and new things to
learn.
At the elementary levels of this business you’ll have to
look at your physical self, your mental self and your spiritual
self and see how you can integrate them into your total being. This
is a process that can take the rest of your life, so settle in for
the long haul. As you can see this is about much more than just
creating a business, It’s about creating a businessperson
(you) that you can be proud of.
The Law of Reciprocity
Simply stated, the Law of Reciprocity is; “What goes around
comes around.”
I realize that this sounds simple, almost to the point of being
silly, but this incredibly simple concept is echoed repeatedly in
every single spiritual path and religion in the world for a good
reason. It works!
When it comes to your business it’s especially important
to remember that what you send out is what you’ll get back.
If you send out fear and hate then that’s exactly what
you’ll get back.
When you use this principle in your life it’s important to
remember that what you want to receive is what you have to give. If
you want to have more time then give time. If you want more money
then give money. If you want more love then give love, etc.,
etc.
Those interested in really using this principle in your lives
are encouraged to read Stuart Wilde’s book The Trick to Money
is Having Some and Robert Kiyosaki’s excellent Rich Dad, Poor
Dad series. I can’t praise either of those books enough as
they’ve been extremely helpful for me personally.
Dr. Wayne Dyer also talks about this principle repeatedly in his
books, as do Louise Hay, Caroline Myss and a host of others. This
concept can be used to enhance every part of your life, so look for
new ways to use it.
** (Authors note; First, a word about energy. You’ll see
me use that term a lot in this book, partly because some of these
sections are cut from the other books that I’ve written on
meditation. How can I cut those sections out of a meditation book
and plop them right down into a business book? I do it because we
are not only dealing with money and business but with our
relationships to one another and the universe in general!
Money is a form of energy. It’s the tool that we apply to
various situations as a lever to get things done. When you begin to
see that money is only a form of energy then it opens you up to all
of the different forms of energy that you can use, rather than just
money. For instance, in many cases what we need is not really
money, but some other resource such as another person’s time
or a tool that someone else has. Learn to open up to having the
proper energy that you need rather than to just having money. With
that in mind I’m only going to refer to energy for the rest
of this section. It’s up to you to identify and find the
proper form of energy that you need for a particular situation)

When you are using your energy and sending it to someone else,
it’s vitally important to remember that what you send is what
you’ll get back. Therefore you’ll always want to keep
this in mind, even when training in the dojo. As you begin doing
these exercises you are going to be using more energy in your
everyday life. Even though it’s very subtle, people will
still be able to feel that energy and respond to it.
If you let that energy run loose and uncontrolled, especially if
you haven’t learned to balance out your anger issues and
emotional attachments, then you are going to offend people and hurt
feelings, even when you don’t mean to.
As you begin building up your personal catalog of experiences
and experimenting with your energy, you’re going to be
tempted to play with it with other people. Remember to keep your
intentions clear and remember that what you send out is what
you’re going to have returned.
If you want to practice sending energy into other people make
sure that you are sending loving and benevolent energy. Even though
you’ll occasionally be tempted to send a good dose of revenge
and retribution out to those you think deserve it, remember the Law
of Reciprocity. For my part I try to make a point of sending good
energy to those who disagree with me. If they are wrong then I hope
that the energy helps them see the right answers. If it turns out
that I’m wrong (which apparently happens a lot ?) then
it’s good to send a little ‘thanks and happiness’
to someone who helped you learn a lesson.
Robert Kiyosaki writes profoundly about the Law of Reciprocity
in his books. He makes a great point that you have to give if you
are going to receive and that you must give away that which you
need most to receive.
If you need money then you must give money. Give it to a
charity, or to a ‘bum’ or to a stranger on the street,
but give it just to give it and don’t try to have any
expectations about what you’ll get back. This is
important.
When you give simply to give and without any expectation of a
return then you are sending out a message to the universe that
“I have plenty! I have so much that I can just give it away
to help someone else.”
Like attracts like. When you have an abundant and giving
attitude then you’ll find that there is plenty of abundance
to share. When you have a negative attitude and won’t give
because you feel that you don’t have enough to share then you
are just confirming that reality for yourself.
Spend some time thinking about this and working up to it. You
don’t have to give away your house and cars. Start small and
send $5 a month to PBS or NPR, to an animal rescue shelter or some
other charity that you can believe in. You may think that $5 a
month isn’t enough to make a difference for anyone, but every
charity that I’ve ever seen would be happy with that.
Don’t have any expectations about what you may get back
for your donation. Do it just to share and in the hopes that
it’ll help those hardworking folks make the work a better
place.
This next section is when we get into the power of Networks so
think about this, if everyone in the network that you are going to
build also sends in $5 a month to a charity then you are going to
get to the point, as your network expands, where you will be
single-handedly affecting some real social change. If you want to
multiply this then talk to the people in your downline (your
network) about everyone sending $5 a month to the same charity.
