The Four Pillars of Prosperity – The First Pillar, Part 2

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

In the last article, we explored the first pillar of Prosperity: Demolition. We took a look at the first of four areas that we can institute a Demolition, preparing for the abundant flow of prosperity in all areas of our life: Physical Realm.

This article focuses on the second area of Demolition we can work on, which is in the Mental Realm. Charles Fillmore said, “Thoughts are things and occupy space in mind. We cannot have new or better ones in a place already crowded with old, weak, inefficient thoughts. A mental housecleaning is even more necessary than a material one.”

Listen to your mental thoughts about prosperity. Be aware of your belief in “only-ness.” For example, I only have x amount of money; I only have this much food; I only have this stupid, low-paying job; etc. Transform your language to focus on the joy of what you have, blessing it and allowing it to be more than it appears.

On Good Morning America, we saw a segment where they sent an expert fashion guy to a woman’s house. He raided her closet, and immediately created four new, very trendy outfits from things she already had in the closet! Using that idea, here’s your adventure: Become aware of where you are mentally affirming “only-ness.” It may be with your clothes, your house décor, your finances, your relationships, or some other area of your life. Once you identify your “only-ness” area, see how you can create something new and different out of things you already have within that area.

Charles Fillmore had another great quote, which I have renamed the Fillmore Challenge! He said, “Never make an assertion, no matter how true it may look on the surface, that you would not want to see manifest in your life.” This is a perfect example of demolition in the mental realm. Every time you become aware of thoughts of lack or fear, demolish them! Refuse to give them any parking time in your consciousness! Only by getting rid of the error thinking can we clear the way for the power of prosperity thinking to make a home!

Next article, we will discuss Demolition on the Emotional Realm!
