Don't You Hate it When This Happens?

    


“Learning is making mistakes until our subconscious mind can put together the right pictures.”
–Louise L. Hay

 

Why did I wait so long to read Louise Hay's book?

 

I know of her publishing company Hay House and have read many of the books she had published, but never until today did I pick up her book. I guess the old adage is true, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." 

 

The book is "You Can Heal Your Life." 

 

Not that I think my life is broken. I just want to learn and grow, and yes, to heal my life. 

 

I read of Hay's book in another book where the author explained that Hay lists diseases and body affections in the back of her book. Along with the list, she sites their mental causes and suggests an affirmation to heal.

 

I snatched it up.

 

On my blog, www.travelswithjo.com, which has the same information as https://www.wishonwhitehorse.com, just a different carrier, the description is: 

 

"To wonder and invite others to wonder with me." 

 

(Travels has a loose definition. I love to travel and talk about it occasionally. I also know we are traveling through life, and the gist is learning and enjoying.)

 

I have been resistant—I don't know why—to be too woo-woo. 

(Fear of being a kook.)

 

Then there was Louise Hay putting it out there to the tune of selling over three million copies and being audacious enough to say, "You Can Heal Your Life." (The latest reading was more like 40 million. See, people, want this stuff.)_

 

Louise Hay began as a Science of the Mind minister (I didn't know that). I discovered Science of the Mind in San Diego, CA., at Terry Cole Whittiker's church. That was a life-changing time. I loved it. I remember standing in my yard one day in Mission Hills, San Diego, saying, "I want something to change, and I want it now." The following Sunday, I attended Terry's church for the first time and haven't been the same since. 

 

I had finally found that other people thought similarly to how I did. 

 

Terry left her thriving ministry a few years later, about the same time we left San Diego. I guess we both got what we needed and moved on.

 

A few years ago, I spent a fourth of July weekend at a retreat with Terry in Mt. Shasta, Oregon. She has moved from being a high-powered minister and executive to living on a farm (no animals, just in the wilderness sort-of.) Only two participants attended her weekend retreat, another girl and myself. I have never felt so loved. (By both of them.) Nor had I ever visited a magical alpine meadow such as exists at the base of Mt. Shasta, where we spent one of the days.

 

This blog is my effort to find people who resonate with what I am up to.

 

I don't intend for my blogs to be about me, but I'm the one writing them, and I'm the one gleaming the information, so it will come through my filter system.

 

I only opened Hay's book this morning, and I already feel a shift in consciousness like when you say, "Ohh, that's wonderful."

 

"I expect my life to be good and joyous, and it is." –Louise Hay.

 

Last week I mentioned that I was writing The Money Whisperer Newsletter. 

 

And then what happened? A couple of days ago, I sat down to write something, and all hell broke loose.

 

Writers know this phenomenon, "Many a slip from cup to lip." Start out, lose your way, get back on track, pull it together, and plunge ahead.

 

I'm going to complete the newsletter because first, I need it. And second, perhaps my subscribers and I will find something of value along the way.

 

We know that the art of making money involves attitude, beliefs, focus, and aiming for the high, not low. And don't tell me about the rich people who aren't nice. (Here I am with money. Here I am without money. The same person.)

 

Money will not pollute an unpollutable person. Be unpollutable.

Don't be afraid of having money. Who better? 

 

Pollution comes from another source—the ego, the feelings about ourselves, the subconscious systems built into us from numerous generations.

 

I was led into Quantum physics and how things work and saw how it is conceivable for the mind to affect matter, and money is matter. 

 

Strange but true.

 

 

 Excerpt from the first issue of The Money Whisperer Newsletter

You might ask what I am doing here talking about money when millionaires and billionaires are making and spending money at every turn. They are controlling empires and sending people into space. We are taught to go for the American dream. Get a good education, preferably from a prestigious institution, follow it with a high-paying job, and make a good living. 

 

We know that. It's in our face every day.

 

Since you are reading this, I'm assuming you are interested in having money, getting rich, and learning some of the fundamental truths behind why some people work hard and have little, and some work hard and have much. Why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? 

 

If you like beautiful things, you should be surrounded by beautiful things. If music brings you to heights of ecstasy, you should follow that thread. Do you want to play music? Do you want to write it or listen to it? 

 

You need money for these things, and you should have it. (Guitars don't grow on trees.) 

 

Inner work can be FREE. However, where do we start? Sorry, but unless you have personal access to the Akashic records (purported to contain all the wisdom of the ages), we need something, a medicine man, a shaman, a mentor, a leader, a book, a workshop, a seminar or a whisper, to catapult us on the journey toward self-discovery.

 

I'm not here to study self, you might say. I'm here to create money.

 

Okay. We'll get to that.

 

First, let's go back a bit. 

 

The Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert of Africa talk about two hungers.

There is a Great Hunger and a Little Hunger.

The little hunger wants food for the belly.

The Great Hunger is the greatest hunger of all. 

It is the hunger for meaning.

 

Our right to life is to have the free and unrestricted means to fulfill our physical, mental, and spiritual needs.

 

I suppose I have some attachment to this desire to be all I can be, for there was a time when I felt I didn't have a right to live an abundant life when so many people were suffering. People are in poverty, sickness, lack, and mental illness.

 

And then I realized I could never be poor enough to raise another. I can never be sick enough to heal another. I can never be spiritually bankrupt enough to lead another to their highest calling.

 

I know that some readers will balk at some of the things I will get into, so I am pounding home this need for money. [more]

We're Talking Money--Come Join Us

 Prelude to the first Edition:

 There is nothing like talking about money to bring up issues surrounding it.

You know how it goes, you are all focused, you are plunging ahead, and SCREECH! Something knocks you off kilter.

 Last night I watched Planet Earth with Zac Efron and Darin Olien, about Sustainability. Efron and Olien ravel the globe finding people and situations in hopes of finding a way of sustaining the earth. No matter how much you want to argue the cause, the earth is RAPIDLY changing, and it is getting hotter.

While those two men were In the Amazon jungle chasing down Medicinal plants, they received word from home that Malibu, where Olien lived, was on fire. (The Woolsey fire) He didn’t want to shorten their trip and figured he couldn’t do anything about it anyway so they continued, and soon learned that his house had burnt down.

He was grateful his dog was in a kennel, and no one he knew was hurt, but he ended up with all his worldly possessions were now what he had carried with him in his suitcase and backpack.

The trip back to Malibu was devastating.

Here I was focusing on money, talking about money, and writing a newsletter about money while the world was burning.

I felt trivial.

BUT THEN, that was stupid thinking. I was trivializing money, when it is the very thing we need. The thing most people want more of, and the thing that drives the world.

I apologize to money.

It isn’t the paper strips we want. It is the freedom and opportunity money can provide. Including funding trips such as Planet Earth where I learned about the “Blue zones,” where individuals live well past 100 years and how they are living.

For people who say they have enough, I bet they aren’t building wells in Africa, stopping forest devastation, and are having the many pleasures and resources money can provide.

So, I’m going ahead and putting out my Newsletter, The Money Whisperer for the select ones who subscribe to it.

Love you,

Jo

 

 Here we go…

Imagine we are sitting across the table from each other, and I just tasted the best Chocolate mousse I had ever tasted.” “Ah,” I breathe in ecstasy, “You must taste this.” I hold up my martini glass—for that is what it was served in, so you can use your own spoon.

 A friend did that to me once by ordering an appetizer of fried Tofu. “Just don’t think about it,” she said.” Try it.” I dipped crispy fried Tofu in the most exquisite plum sauce I had ever tasted—the likes of which I have never encountered since.

 She didn’t ask if I liked Tofu. She didn’t ask if I was willing to try it. Instead, she cut to the chase and said, “Just taste the damn stuff.”

That’s the sort of experience I want here for you.

And I’m not pushing Tofu. I am pushing “Getting Rich.”

 “Oh, gasp.”

 How many books, newsletters, or whatever content you have read used euphemisms to explain what being rich is? They are afraid to say it's having money.

Success might have a slightly different definition.

Success is becoming all you want to be.

Success needs tools. A shop owner needs a shop. A musician needs instruments. An artist needs time to create and tools to perfect their craft. In other words, they need money.

We are all given an inalienable right to develop our mind, body, and soul the best we can.

And that involves money.

Whatever may be said for poverty, the fact is, to be fully successful in life, one must have money.

Hey, I didn’t set up this system.

How do Presidents get elected?

Money

How do kids go to college?

Money

How do we have roads, vehicles, and swimming pools?

Money

I have a yen for sushi tonight. How will I get it?

Money.

We have more trouble with money than Luke, Leia, Hans, and Chewbacca did in the Death Star’s Garbage Compactor. (Star Wars, the movie.)

How many heist movies have you watched with hopes that the robbers would get away with it? Sometimes they did, especially if they robbed from somebody who deserved to be robbed from.

The Treasure of Sierra Madre is considered one of the best movies to come out of Hollywood (1948). I remember from that movie that one man’s desire for gold was more than his desire for water when he was thirsting to death in the desert. At the time, I thought that was stupid, and I don’t remember how old I was when I saw the movie. Maybe I’ll watch it again, although I remember it not being much fun. Roger Ebert’s review: “The movie has never been about gold, but about character.”

There you have it.

Yes, I’m sharing my new finds, new information, and new attitude regarding money. But I’m not throwing it out indiscriminately. (Just like I wouldn't let just anybody ride my horse.)

It’s private. A sharing between you and me.

I’m not a financial guru. Instead, I’m a person who believes in growing, acquiring knowledge, and sharing it.

When I came upon this information, I wondered if I should write a book about it. I knew that if I was going to accumulate wealth, I needed to face some of my issues about it, so I began to write—maybe not an entire book full, but a Newsletter full. And twelve installments ought to do it.

I’m giving it only to Subscribers. I don’t intend to throw it out to be ignored or shot at.

Money deserves better.

Your email box might overflow each morning, but you need one more. (Not daily, but weekly.) You need an inspirational one. I hope The Money Whisperer Newsletter will be like one email I look forward to each week, and say, “Oh goody,’ when I see it.

If you would rather have a paper copy of The Money Whisperer, I can send one by snail mail.

That way, you can sit on the porch with the morning breeze puffing your skin, sip your coffee, and be inspired--without ever turning on your computer--you know how distracting it can be.

What better way to start the day? After that read you will feel like singing through the day, “I am rich beyond my wildest dreams, I am, I am.”

And if I have hit a hot button and made you mad at me, you can crumble up the pages and throw them in the garbage.

And, just think, when this The Money Whisperer Newsletter arrives in you e-box, it will not try to sell you anything. You paid for it already. It’s all signed, sealed, and delivered. You subscribed. We’re clear. If you don’t think the value of this newsletter exceeds the price paid for it, you can cancel money-back guarantee. And if I have hit a hot button and made you mad you can crumble up the pages and throw them away.

Money is a touchy topic. And these days we are so afraid of offending someone that we won’t say what’s really on our mind.

 If you get this as an email, I won’t be selling you anything. You subscribed, paid for it. We’re clear. If you don’t think the value exceeds the price paid, you can cancel, money back guarantee.
