Prosperity Engine — Update — Back to Basics

Between 1971 and 1978, I experienced a flood of miracles that changed my life forever. Many of these events were premeditated miracles—cause-and-effect “coincidences”—the kind sought by scientists in their laboratories. Directed intent led to predicted results. While many of those results were not visually spectacular, they yielded a proof-of-concept for my early work on this topic. The more visually startling miracles involved traffic—one of them producing a result similar to that of Moses parting the Red Sea.

The techniques I used back then were applied to relatively unimportant tasks. This avoided several “thorny” or “sticky” hurdles. “Importance,” as we learned in recent articles can foul up our Prosperity Engine.

This week, we return to the basics of what we know works. By doing this, the hope is that we may spot even more of the discrepancies—hidden barriers to accomplishing the effortless manifestation of our goals.

Miracles 101

In early 1974, I suddenly realized that the emotional level of “manifesting” or “miracles” was equivalent to the knowledge level of “Not-Know.” This is from the research of L. Ron Hubbard into the human-spiritual condition. He was pretty keen on recognizing patterns—a talent I had discovered for myself.

Both of these levels were one step down from the top—Serenity of Beingness and Knowing. When first I had learned about this relationship between the two scales that Hubbard had discovered for two separate properties of the spiritual being, I was puzzled. The power of miracles—or as he referred to it, “postulates”—seemed right to be so close to the top, but “Not-Know” seemed too oblivious to be so powerful. Then, I realized that getting a picture of the desired object or condition, followed by “Not-Knowing” it was all that was needed.

As I was writing this, looking back at the memories and analyzing them once more—especially from my new viewpoint of greater knowledge—I just now realized that the picture or template of creation is built from that upper, emotional level—Serenity of Beingness—and then the object or condition in that picture is “Not-Known.” In other words, I had come down from the highest emotional level to manifest the object or condition.

More recently, I also realized that the “Not-Know,” second step is “applied darkness.” In other words, I had applied the “darkness” of a lack of awareness in order to get the idea in my spiritual mind to become physical on this lesser half of reality.

Step-by-Step: First Miracle Experiment

I wanted a challenge which would test my new understanding of miracles. That challenge needed to be something that would tell me that my understanding was valid. It needed to be some spiritual action manifesting itself in the physical realm that would confirm the connection. I wanted to show a cause-and-effect connection that would not be an accidental coincidence.

In the common bathroom in the Martin home in Flagstaff, Arizona, the fluorescent light above the bathroom sink had become unpredictable. Flipping the light switch would sometimes turn on the light right away. Sometimes, the light would never come on. And other times, the light would come on after a variable amount of time—anywhere between a tenth of a second and a minute or two. This had been quite infuriating, but now it was the source of great curiosity and joy.

I went to the bathroom with the Serenity of Beingness of Knowing that I am a spiritual being who has the power to bend or break the laws of physical reality, just as Jesus had done, and just as he had taught others to do.

After entering the bathroom, I physically looked at the light switch, and imagined in my mind “seeing” the wires from the switch, through the wall, up to the light fixture, into the ballast circuitry and into the light bulb itself.

Now, I realize that this anchored me in physical reality. This helped to put me in the “Creative Now,” rather than being in delusion.

Then, I created in my conscious mind the picture of the light bulb being on. With that done, I physically flipped the switch to the “on” position.

Happily, I observed that the light did not come on.

Then, I searched my mind for some other activity which would help me “Not-Know” the picture of the light bulb being on. After a second or two, I settled on reaching for my toothpaste and toothbrush. I focused my conscious awareness on picking up the toothpaste tube, opening the cap, setting the cap down and the applying a pea sized dollop of toothpaste onto my brush.

About this time, I felt in my conscious mind all awareness leave the picture of the light being on. At that instant, the light popped on. I don’t remember the exact number of seconds between flipping the switch and the light actually coming on, but it was somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds.

The likelihood that the light would accidentally come on the moment my conscious mind abandoned the creation seemed exceedingly slim. The coincidence was within a tenth of a second. In other words, the “Not-Knowing” of the creation and the manifestation of the light being on were separated by such a small span of time, it was essentially zero seconds.

This commensurability confirmed to me that my hypothesis had worked.

Here are the steps more concisely written:

Move to Serenity of Beingness—an emotional state at the highest possible level, as spirit (see my book Taking Charge for techniques to do just this).Create a mental image of the desired object or condition with the highest possible clarity.Ground yourself in physical reality by becoming critically aware of the present moment and the current condition of the challenge.Find some other activity to busy the conscious awareness so that you go down into “Not-Know” regarding the creation. This is done all the while the subconscious (feeling) attention remains fixed on the creation.



A Different Starting Point?

A week ago, as I had been planning this article, I considered the idea that I may have had a different starting point in my life. An unfair advantage, perhaps?

But just a few minutes ago, as I was writing this, I thought of a different “starting point”—the point only moments before the miracle is manifested. I realized that I had been in Serenity of Beingness—a calm, poised, blissful state of being—right before each miracle. Sometimes, the bliss was self-induced, using the techniques I discuss in my book, Taking Charge, and other times they were accidental in the sense that I did not see the bliss coming; it came to me as an inspiration triggered by some question, or some state of humility about which I had become curious.

So, it seems I can still learn more about the experiments performed nearly half a century ago.

But did I have an advantage this lifetime over some of my fellow humans? That’s possible, but that is not a barrier to others. Anyone with the interest and persistence can learn these things.

I started this lifetime, 70 years ago, with profound questions about self, spirit and our connection to miracles. Even at age 3, these concepts seemed quite familiar, if not downright ancient.

Achieving Serenity of Beingness

This is a state which is achieved quite often in the spiritual counseling of Scientology, or at least used to be achieved with regularity, when I was a member—1967–1986.

I see now that the same thing is happening with the work of Dr. Joe Dispenza and others, with simple meditation and knowledge about the mind.

Dispenza also discovered that sharing experiences and doing meditation in a group setting is also accelerating the process. One person’s breakthrough makes it “okay” for others to do the same thing—like Chuck Yeager breaking the “sound barrier,” or Roger Bannister breaking the “4-minute mile barrier.”

This is also being made more possible with the work of David Bayer and his “Mind Hack” program. By cleaning up the negative “darkness” of the subconscious mind, the individual is able to get rid of many of the beliefs and forces which hold him back.

Prosperity Engine Progress

After writing my last article on “Tracking Down the Dark Negatives,” I had some additional ideas which could prove valuable.

I wrote down some empowering decisions to replace some of my own dark negatives.

“I am a worthy conduit for God’s infinite abundance.” This statement wins high marks for remaining positive in all aspects.

“I remain unattached to all prosperity—letting it flow to where it is needed.” This has a moderately high level of positivity. “Unattached” and “needed” are slightly negative elements. Remember, we have certain ideas about our words that are not realized in our maintenance of reality. For instance, we commonly use the word “want” to describe an intention or goal. But this word creates a lack of the desired object or condition, rather than an abundance of it. “Want” means “lack.” “Want” means “you’re not there, yet.”

“I allow prosperity to flow through me to help others.” Even the word “help” suggests a negative need. Perhaps our human languages are full of such spiritual landmines. But this need not be a problem. We merely remain aware of the inadequacies of our languages and work around the shallow, unspiritual meanings to imply the truer, more spiritual meaning.

We can use imperfect statements like these because they point in the direction of spiritual perfection that language cannot describe with accuracy.

Directionality of Awareness and Cleaning Up the Darkness

While meditating this last week, I became curiously aware of a quality within the awareness I call “directionality.” This is me looking in a certain direction in multi-dimensional concept space. This is not only different directions in physical space—like moving out of the head and looking back at the body from forward 38 centimeters, up 64 centimeters and right 19 centimeters, but looking at various ideas from different conceptual locations.

Several times, I felt that I was in what I call the “saddle of now.” I was squarely in my head looking straight forward, without flutter or squirming. Calm, poised and looking straight forward at the back of my eyelids.

Now, most people might think they’re looking straight forward at the backs of their eyelids, and they’d be exactly right on the physical level. But on the mental level, they may be looking at some skewed angle. They’re not yet focused in the “Creative Now” or “saddle of now.”

But this brings up an idea for further study. We might explore this idea of “directionality of awareness” and using it to explore not only the mental space during meditation, helping us to clean up the darkness which makes the “Creative Now” seem elusive, but we might also use it to see ideas from different viewpoints, or body parts that need healing from different perspectives.

We also need to realize that all too frequently we become biased by our directionality and forget to look behind us.

The first time I became aware of this concept was in 1968 trying to overcome early afternoon grogginess. I got outside my head and looked back in the direction of the source of awareness. Suddenly, I felt nothing of the grogginess; I felt powerful and energized.

We need to become more critically aware of such constraints that we put on ourselves.

In a sense, this is an extra measure of humility—not arrogantly insisting on the “me” viewpoint—the ego.

And we can ask, “God, what else am I missing?”

Coming Up Next

In the next article, we will look at the illusion of free will. How much free will do we actually have? The answers may surprise you, but the reason behind those answers are even more profound—revealing a very specific and focused purpose on the part of God.

And the article after that will tackle the rather odd question: Is time itself evil?

Looking even further ahead, another article will look at what I call the “Prosperity Paradox”—overcoming every layer of negativity concerning prosperity. And there is one layer that is powerful—the very act of creation itself has a negative element involved.
