A New Manifesting Recipe —– Mental Prayer Treatment

No Health Insurance Needed

A mental prayer treatment is a technique of employing the true power of prayer. You undergo this treatment in order to bring about healing of a specific troubling situation. You cause the thoughts of your mind to focus on the Presence of God. The Presence of God is In you. Around you. Everywhere you are. You can liken a mental prayer treatment to going to the hospital for a surgical procedure. At this particular hospital however, no health insurance is required. It is the hospital of your mind. Mental prayer treatment is a surgical operation on your soul. It differs from general prayer which is a visit with God.

General Prayer Versus Mental Prayer Treatment

General prayer can be likened to enjoying fresh air, good food in the right amounts and moderate exercise of your body. They are enjoyed as ends unto themselves. Nevertheless, they also serve a purpose of keeping you in good health.

The objective of a mental prayer treatment is to hone in on a specific desire that you wish to manifest. The basic gist of a mental prayer treatment is to completely remove any thought of what you are lacking from your mind. You can call it a “lackectomy”. During the treatment you do this by placing the focus of your thoughts on the One True Presence, the One True Power – God. When you successfully do this, the healing then commences.

Dual Phase Surgery

Mental prayer surgery consists of two distinct phases — the foundation phase and the affirming phase. The foundation phase can be compared to all the preoperative prep that must be done before the actual operation. The affirming phase of the treatment is the actual surgical procedure.

Give yourself a mental prayer treatment as often as you feel led during the course of the day. At the beginning of your day and at the end of your day are best because you are at your most relaxed. Feel free however to find your own rhythm. If you are a midday napper, just before napping would be a excellent time.

Do your best to refrain doing a treatment when you are tense. Likewise, after a treatment, refrain from going back to mull over the problem or lack. If done in faith, the treatment is assuredly working. Just continue treating and be alert. Ultimately, things will happen for your benefit in direct response to your continued treatment. Seeds planted in fertile soil eventually come to the surface as plants in due course unless you dig them up to see if they are growing.

The Operating Room Must Be Germ Free

Understand that your surgical operating room must be strictly germ free. Just as you would not want to enter an operating room covered in dirt and grime, keep fear and doubt out of your mind during a treatment. Just as dirt and grime would jeopardize a surgery, fear and doubt likewise jeopardize the success of a mental prayer treatment.

Look at it as a scientific mathematical equation. First, the Presence of God, Ultimate Intelligence, is perfection. Second, the Presence of God is with you wherever you are. Third, no lack or problem can possibly co-exist with the Presence of God. Fourth, by your focusing on the Presence of God, right where the problem is, the problem or lack must ultimately disappear.

Phase One – The Foundation

I first learned about the concept of the mental prayer treatment from the writings of the twentieth century author and lecturer, Emmet Fox. This truly is a beautiful method of prayer. As with all methods or techniques of prayer, faith (imaginative belief) is critically important.

Here is an example of the foundation phase of a sample mental prayer treatment:

  1. God is fully present within me right now.
  2. God is the one true Presence, all else is just shadow.
  3. In God I live. In God I breathe. In God I am.
  4. I am free now.
  5. I am free of fear of the past, the present, the future.
  6. The freedom of God is my freedom.
  7. With all my heart, I am thankful.

The above foundation phase can be used with a great variety of accompanying affirming phases. They can be longer. They can be shorter. Use the above example or feel free to construct your own.

Phase Two – The Affirming

The affirming phase of your mental prayer treatment hones in on the specific thing that you desire to treat or heal. It can be geared to your finances, your relationships, your career or avocation, your health or something on behalf of another person or even a beloved pet.

Here is an example of the affirming phase of a surgery to treat your finances:

  1. Prosperity flows to me, within me, around me now.
  2. My faith is the evidence of my plentiful supply of money.
  3. I affirm my financial security.
  4. My inner belief produces my financial good health.
  5. With all that I am, was, or ever will be, I am thankful.

The Mysterious Portal

Beneath your surface consciousness exists something called the subconscious. You are aware of things and events that happen in your surface consciousness. The things you see, hear, feel, smell and taste. Your memories. The laws of nature and science. People with whom you interact. Your emotions.

Beneath all of that surface consciousness however, exists the subconscious. What goes on there is truly inconceivable. What happens in the world of the subconscious has everything to do with what occurs in your surface consciousness, what you term “the real world”.

The subconscious is that mysterious portal connecting you to Divine Intelligence, Wisdom and Power. What a faithful mental prayer treatment does is penetrate beyond that surface consciousness, reaching down into the subconscious and through the portal. This then alters “the real world” for your benefit or for the benefit of a loved one for whom you are giving the treatment.

What Do You Have To Lose?

The mental prayer treatment is an effective method of prayer if done in faith. If you decide to do surgery on yourself, it will cost you nothing in terms of spending your money. It will however cost you some of your time. It will also cost you the familiar comfort of doing the same old routine. Finally, you will also have to give up something else — your fears.

This article puts this information out there for your benefit. It is now totally up to you whether or not you actually use it.

A Question For You

Let me ask you a question.

What do you really have to lose by engaging in a mental prayer treatment?

Let me list some of the things that you have to lose:

Your painful frustration due to stinking failure after failure;

Your beating your head against the wall and then getting the same lousy results;

Your utter exhaustion from running on the treadmill of life and getting nowhere;

Your looking in the mirror at yourself in despair and saying “You suck”.

Give Yourself A Chance

Give yourself a mental prayer treatment regarding something troubling you. Give yourself a chance to be a vehicle for God’s divine power. You really do have it within you or you would not have been led to read this article.

May you always perceive the beauty of the Eternal Peace and Presence of God.

Dominus vobiscum.

Conceive. Believe. Receive.

8 Billion Opportunities To Express Universal Mind

Population Of The World 2022

In a United Nations report released this year on World Population Day, the population of the world is projected to reach 8 billion by the end of 2022. The report stated that the population of 61 countries is projected to decrease by 1 % or more between 2022 and 2050. Despite this however, population surges in Africa and the Indian sub-continent will push the world to that 8 billion mark.

John Wilmoth, director of the United Nations Population Department, stated that the current global average life expectancy has increased to 72.8 years. That is a nine year increase from a similar report issued in 1990. I am an average guy. I guess that gives me about three more years or so. As you may have guessed, the percent share of the total global population of old people (over 65) is growing. The oldsters, now one tenth of the world’s humans, will be almost one sixth of all humans by 2050.

Good News, Bad News

One problem with the relentless growth of older people as a percentage of the global population is healthcare. The elderly is the segment of the population statistically needing it the most. Let’s face it, the older you get, the more your body breaks down. When it breaks down enough, you die.

There is however a major benefit of the increased longevity of human beings. Living longer means that every additional year of life that a person gets means that they have additional time to discover their true power as a unique expression of the Divine.

Every Person Is An Expression

There is one Universal Mind – God. Through this Universal Mind you live, and move, and have your being. This year, on planet earth, there will be 8 billion individualizations of Universal Mind. Each of these individualizations have conscious minds. Almost every one of these conscious minds has the ability and freedom to direct thoughts and feelings into the Universal Subconscious Mind. The Subconscious Mind then acts to bring to reality those thoughts and feelings held in absolute belief.

Universal Mind, from which we have all originated and exist, creates whatever you think and believe as true. Universal Mind creates what you think and feel about your neighbor. Likewise, Universal Mind creates what your neighbor thinks and feels about you. God is impartial. Universal Law is impartial. It inexorably acts upon human thought and feeling. Humans are an expression of the Divine.

Look at the second most important commandment of Jesus: “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. As you regard your neighbor, so shall it be done to him. In conjunction with that, as your neighbor regards you, so shall it be done to you. You may say, “Well my neighbor hates me but I am still successful. What about that”? Where there are conflicting thoughts, Universal Subconscious Mind always acts on the thoughts and feelings where there is the greatest faith and belief.

So What Are You Expressing These Days?

Almost everyone has heard the saying, “As you sow, so shall you reap”. It is widely known as a universal law of life. It is also one of the world’s most misunderstood maxims. Religious “authorities” have for centuries put forth the idea that this saying refers primarily to our existence in the hereafter. That is a basic misunderstanding of the content of that law. The sowing (or planting) and reaping (or harvesting) speaks strictly of the spiritual law of cause and effect.

The thoughts and feelings that you plant in the garden of Subconscious Mind will ultimately yield a harvest. It will be either weeds, stunted plants or beautiful fruit and blossoms. It all depends on what you believe as true.

You Are Free

Every minute of your lifetime, you are free. This is a wonderful miracle. It is also an enduring mystery. While you are in fact a infinitesimal part of Universal Mind, you are also free to choose your thoughts and feelings. Otherwise you would merely be a mindless marionette with no manner or means of expressing the Divine. When you use your freedom to express love and all of its derivative permutations, you are expressing the Divine. When you use your freedom to express fear and all of its derivative permutations, you are expressing error.

One avenue of expression leads you to growth and expansion of your consciousness. The other avenue of expression stunts your growth and leads to regression. What exactly are you expressing these days? What do you desire to express? The choice is yours. It always has been, You were created in that manner. Unless you agree to let the controllers microchip you and gain control over your brain’s neurons, the choice will always be yours.

Through A Glass Darkly

In the famous chapter 13 of the book of First Corinthians, there is a phrase uttered by the apostle Paul, “For now we see through a glass, darkly”. The glass that is referred to is a looking glass or mirror. The word darkly means without full understanding. Young’s Literal Translation of this verse is “we see through a mirror obscurely”. This phrase comes from the Greek (blepomen gar arti di esoptrou en ainigmati). The New International Version translation states, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror”. The Good News Bible has it “what we see now is a dim image in a mirror”.

Mirrors in the days of Paul were actually made of polished metal, not glass. Mirrors of the time contained imperfections and distortions. Some things were clearly reflected. Some portions of the reflection had distortions somewhat like a fun house mirror. The more that we dedicate our lives to expressing Divine Law in truth, the more that we will see the reflection of our self with clarity. Ultimately, with complete faith in the goodness of Eternal Mind, we will see everything clearly. For the time being however, human beliefs in error abound all over the world because “we see through a glass, darkly”.

Yes, He Definitely Said “Whatsoever”

Take the “Mr. Chi” template of the five basic human desires: money, relationships, career, health and intercession (ability to help others). It is a safe assumption that the overwhelming majority of human beings throughout the world lack something that they truly desire. Read carefully the words of Jesus – “Therefore I say unto you, all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and ye shall have them”.

That sounds about as clear as one can get using words to communicate. There is no shillyshally or waffling in that statement. It is definite and it is truth. If you, made in the image of the Most High, think a desire and then believe that you have already received it, it will be yours. This will come about through the natural means of the society in which you reside.

Faith (belief) is the key. If you are holding on to subtle or secret doubts, you place a blockage between you and your desire. You simply must find a way to get yourself to the point where you believe that you have received your desire even though your physical eyes do not see it. Universal Mind knows everything about you. Eternal Subconscious can plainly see every secret thought and every hidden doubt. Universal Law is impartial. If you harbor doubt, Universal Law will substantiate that doubt in your reality. Your doubt will culminate in continuing to fall short of receiving your desire. When Jesus said “whatsoever”, he meant it, for he was Truth.

Error Of Belief Expresses Evil

When I was a kid, I remember seeing some large graffiti painted on to the side of an underpass wall. It was on the way to Trenton to visit my paternal grandparents. The graffiti said “God created disease”. I asked Mom about it. She answered that there are all types of people in the world. Whoever put that there was just bitter at something.

It got me to thinking however about all sorts of evil in the world. In Sunday School they taught that God created everything. If that was true, then how could disease and poverty and evil exist. The Sunday School teacher said it was all because of the devil. I asked whether God created the devil. The answer was yes, but the devil decided to go against God. The teacher stated that God will win in the end though. After that Sunday School lesson, it was like when you are hungry and you eat a small portion of food. Your stomach is still not satisfied.

God Is All Wisdom

God is all wisdom and all knowledge. No questions to answer. No goals to achieve. God knows all there is to know and sees everything there is to see. God creates from a place of ultimate love without any knowledge of good or evil. Man’s errors of thought and belief create the suffering in the world and every type of evil. God made man with a free will. Man freely chooses what to think and what to believe. Man chooses to believe in evil. This evil then becomes real.

Man accepts the illusion of evil in his thoughts. Man has faith (belief) in the illusion of evil. Thus evil becomes a reality. As an individualization of the Divine, you think and believe in freedom as you choose. You can choose to think and believe in truth. Or you can choose to think and believe in error. Every day of your life, you make the choice.

“Resist Not Evil” Finally Understood

Another bible verse that gave me trouble was “Resist Not Evil”. Most people would grapple with this one. Should you just stand there and let evil push you around? The Sunday School teacher replied that as Christians we are always to practice the peace and presence of Christ. We must trust God and not fall into the devil’s trap of fighting evil with evil. I heard his answer but still left the table hungry.

If you look at the reality of evil being a construct of man’s error of thought, you can see more clearly what Jesus was getting at. When you resist evil, you feed the monster and increase it’s power. When you accept only the truth of the Kingdom of God within you, you starve the monster.

In his famous essay, The Golden Key, Emmet Fox touched upon this situation. He said when encountering any type of adverse circumstances, just dwell on God. Let the truth of the Most High fill up every space of your mind. In your thoughts, choose to acknowledge only God.

You always have the right to protect yourself or a loved one from harm. What “resist not evil” means is this – drawn to its logical conclusion, if every human being refused to accept the illusion of evil, it would disappear. Jesus gives you the key to dealing with evil. Use the key.

Well Yeah, Of Course It’s Hard At First

Regarding “resist not evil” you may say, “OMG, do you even realize how hard that is to do in the real world”? At first, yes. It is very hard. It is hard because it is a new and strange way of thinking. When you think about it however, it really makes perfect sense. Think of God, dwell on God and believe only in God, and you will grow in power and peace in the Kingdom of God. Think of evil, dwell on evil, believe in evil and you mistakenly give evil ever more power.

Anything new and unfamiliar is difficult at first. It is similar to learning a new skill or strengthening your body or mastering a second language. And so on. Commit yourself to dwelling only on God with consistency and persistency. It becomes easier and easier. Thus it is with “resist not evil”. You learn to express the Divine instead of error. You will find yourself dwelling in the Kingdom of God.

The Alarm Clock Is Ringing

With the exponential explosion of knowledge and technology, things could get kind of crazy in the years to come. The fat controllers of the world can perceive that more and more people are waking up. Every day more people come to understand that they are children of God, made in the image of the Almighty. They are inwardly rebelling against the controllers and discovering the truth about themselves.

People like you and me are learning that all we need to do are the only two things we can do for ourselves – conceive and believe. Conceive your desires fulfilled through your thoughts and beliefs. Believe that your desire is already fulfilled through your steadfast faith. All the details are then handled by Universal Mind. Your only responsibility is thought and belief. Through countless centuries, the bulk of humanity has been lulled to sleep by the controllers. The alarm clock is ringing. It is time to wake up now.

What The Human Mind Believes, Humankind Receives

During the course of one of his many military campaigns, one of Napoleon’s generals told him that the current circumstances were causing a lack of success. Napoleon, who was looking at a battlefield map, looked up at him and said “Circumstances? What are circumstances? I make circumstances”. And so it is with all of mankind.

“If you can believe, you will receive” is the statement of Jesus Christ. That is what the entire universe is based upon. First, use your ability to think so as to image what you desire. Second, believe with all that you are, that you have received it. That’s it. Divine Intelligence handles the rest. You create nothing. Universal Mind does everything. Be alert when Divine Intelligence presents you with something to follow up on. Universal Mind has endless ways to manifest your desire.

Listen for and watch for guidance. You cannot will something to happen on your own accord. When you have thought of and believed in your desire as fulfilled, everything you need to do will be communicated to you. Divine Mind will provide you with guidance. Once you are convinced of the reality of your manifestation, then just let it go. Your desire will manifest from Universal Mind as a result of your faith, not through any ferocious display of will on your part. What the human mind believes, humankind will receive.

Believe. Receive.

Grigori Rasputin – Reflections On The Mad Monk

Gregori Yefimovich Rasputin – The Mad Monk

Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin was a Russian mystic and self-proclaimed holy man who lived from 1869 to 1916. He was born in Siberia and lived there as a “muzhik” or peasant until the age of twenty-eight. During a visit to a monastery, he claimed that he underwent a spiritual transformation experience. He subsequently proclaimed himself a healer with the ability to see the future. He became what is referred to as a “strannik” or wandering pilgrim. All of his activities after his spiritual experience were on his own. He never had any official position with the Russian Orthodox Church.

He subsequently found his way to St. Petersburg. Through introductions from respected clerics, he ultimately gained a following among aristocratic circles. Through these contacts he was eventually introduced to Czar Nicholas and his wife, the Czarina, Alexandra. Their son Czarovich Alexei, heir to the Russian throne, was born with the affliction of hemophilia, a disease where the blood of a person does not clot properly. Hemophilia can cause spontaneous bleeding as well as uncontrolled bleeding after a cut or an injury. In 1906, Rasputin won the favor and friendship of Nicholas and Alexandra through his ability to stop the bleeding of their son Alexei.

Rasputin’s influence continued to grow ever stronger with regard to Nicholas and Alexandra. His influence over Alexandra was particularly strong. The upper aristocratic order and church hierarchy began to hate Rasputin as time went on and he gained many enemies. When Nicholas went off to lead Russian forces during World War I, it has been claimed that Rasputin became the controller of Russian state affairs through his influence over the Czarina.

Fearful of the ever-increasing disorder and chaos in Russia as well as Rasputin’s high level of involvement in the affairs of state, a group of nobles led by Prince Felix Yusupov conspired to assassinate Rasputin in December of 1916.

Dynamic Energy

So what was it about Rasputin that enthralled his followers, from aristocrats to peasants? It is said when his followers learned his body was found in the river, they got buckets of water from the river and treated it as holy water. There were always references to his “mesmerizing eyes”, which would cause those who met him to feel like he was penetrating straight through to their mind.

There was also the display of Rasputin at prayer. His entire body would vibrate as he turned his face toward heaven, bowing and crossing himself with great speed.

He was the personification of dynamic energy. At parties he could be unpredictable and even frightening. He could be talking eloquently for hours when all of a sudden he would turn to someone standing on the fringe, as though he had read their mind, and chastise them for their sinful thoughts.

He had a propensity for engaging in sex with the many women who visited with him to hear him talk. Rasputin claimed that the sexual activity was a manner of helping his female followers relieve themselves of their carnal passions.

It was said that Rasputin was a practitioner of magnetism, a kind of offshoot of hypnotism. When the hemophiliac son of the Czar and Czarina would have bleeding spells, Rasputin would be summoned. Rasputin would go into a trance-like state with accompanying gesticulations. When the child responded favorably, it served to increase his influence with Nicholas and Alexandra. The Czarina, who suffered from bad nerves and headaches, said she always felt relaxed and at peace in the presence of Rasputin.

Rasputin’s voracious sexual appetite and heavy drinking led him astray from the Orthodox Church bishops who had initially introduced him to the royal family. Those same bishops are said to have confronted Rasputin about his sinful ways. During the confrontation, the bishops grabbed Rasputin’s penis and started pounding him with a very large metal crucifix. They shouted at him that his libido was ruling over him, not God. When Rasputin reported to the Czarina that the bishops had tried to kill him, she had them banished from the city.

He Drank The Wine And He Felt Fine

During 1916, a group of high ranking nobles decided once and for all to get rid of Rasputin. Prince Felix Yusupov invited Rasputin to his castle to meet his beautiful wife. It was an invitation that the lascivious monk could not refuse. Yusupov had a driver pick up Rasputin and take him to the palace. Once they got there, Yusupov led him to the basement dining room. The room had been staged as if people had been having a late dinner.

While Rasputin waited to meet the prince’s wife, he was given cakes and wine that had been laced with massive amounts of poison. After waiting awhile and he saw the poison was having no effect on Rasputin. A panicked Yusupov excused himself in order to get more wine and ran upstairs to the other conspirators. He advised them that the poison was not working. He grabbed a revolver and headed back downstairs. Once there, he confronted Rasputin and shot him in the chest, who fell to the floor. He waited there a short time. After seeing no movement from Rasputin, he went back upstairs where he and the other co-conspirators celebrated.

Yusupov went back downstairs to check the body. As he stood over the body, Rasputin suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up and began strangling Yusupov (shades of the “Why Won’t You Die?” scene from the movie, V For Vendetta). Screaming and managing to escape Rasputin’s grasp, Yusupov ran back upstairs. When he informed the other conspirators of the situation, the doctor who supplied the poison, fainted.

Yusupov ran back downstairs with a revolver. He almost fainted when he saw that Rasputin was not there. Following a trail of blood, he saw Rasputin outside in the courtyard, screaming that the Czarina would hear about this. A nerve-wracked Yusupov caught up to him and fired twice at point blank range. The rest of the conspirators arrived and one of them shot Rasputin two more times, once in the back and once in the head. Another conspirator started hitting Rasputin all over with an iron fireplace poker.

When they bundled up the body to dispose of it, he was still breathing. They decided to take him by sleigh to a river bridge on the outskirts of the city. The river was frozen so they had to make a hole in the ice and stuff Rasputin’s body through, hoping that the river current would properly dispose of the body. Two days later Rasputin’s body was found. His arms had worked free from the ropes that the conspirators had bound him with and were in an outstretched position. An autopsy found a large amount of water in his lungs indicating that he was still alive when thrown into the river.

Rasputin And Conscious Manifesting

Rasputin definitely had some type of spiritual experience in his twenties when he visited that Siberian monastery. Exactly what happened, nobody really knows. Afterward however, he had possession of an energy which ultimately propelled him from a lowly Siberian peasant to intimate contact with the very pinnacle of Russian power. Like Balaam the prophet in the Old Testament book of Numbers, Rasputin definitely had a gift of prophecy, but with a disposition ill-suited to resist temptation. And just like Balaam, he ultimately paid the price with his life.

So what does the mad monk Rasputin have to do with the art of consciously manifesting your reality? What we know is that Rasputin was able to use his magnetic energy to bring the Czarovich and Czarina to a state of peaceful relaxation. Perhaps through his demeanor, perhaps through a form of hypnosis, perhaps through the dissemination of his inner energy, perhaps a combination of all three – he discovered the healing power of relaxation of an individual, inside and out. He used that knowledge of relaxation to bring about positive results in the health of both the Czarina and her son. Rasputin also used that knowledge to manipulate other human beings for his personal benefit.

Rasputin was also aware of the remarkable power of relaxation in self healing. When the body and mind are in a state of relaxation, without worries or anxieties, it helps to supercharge the immune system to do its thing. There is the story of the Czarovich having a serious bleeding episode as a result of his hemophilia. The Czarina telegrammed Rasputin who was away from the city. He contacted her back to assure her that the boy would not die. This put her at peace and eliminated fear from the situation. Just as the mind responds negatively to fear, so also does the human body. It is interesting to note that he also told her not to let the doctors give the boy aspirin. At that time aspirin was routinely given for pain. It was not until the 1950’s that its blood thinning properties were discovered. Blood thinners can be deadly to a person afflicted with hemophilia.

Relaxation Opens The Portal

Somewhere along the line, Rasputin discovered the secret of how potent that the relaxation of mind and body was to a person’s overall state of consciousness. How potent is it? It is the ultimate state. Ironically, if you are relaxed, you are in control. A state of relaxation will override fear derivative states such as anxiety and desperation. It is crucial in all aspects of the manifesting process. When you are relaxed, by whatever method that you choose, your mind and body are interconnected.

After you are relaxed and you view in your mind’s eye the end result of your desire fulfilled, if you choose to drag along anxiety, your subsequent imaginal image will be tainted. The anxiety that you refuse to let go of, will be the precipitator of yet more anxiety, causing you an endless cycle of frustration.

One way to describe the state of relaxation that you are going for is this scenario: You only got a few hours of sleep the night before. You wake up at your regular time. You go about your normal daily activities. At some point during the afternoon, you take a short break from your activities. You close your eyes for a few minutes and relax. After a minute or so, you are still awake and fully conscious but you are not far from dozing off. You are in a “betwixt and between” state known as SATS, state akin to sleep.

While you are conscious, but totally relaxed, that is when you want to create an image in your mind of your chosen desire already being fulfilled. Money. Relationships. Career. Health. Intercession. Whatever it is. That special time of relaxation creates a portal to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind perceives your belief of your desire already being fulfilled. It then goes to work at once bringing about the conditions to make real in the physical world your desire fulfilled.

Believe, Receive.

Huey Long “Barbeque Speech” On Wealth Inequality

The Kingfish

Have you ever heard of the politician Huey P. Long, aka “The Kingfish”? Huey was a prominent political figure from the state of Louisiana. His political heyday was in the late 1920’s up to 1935 when he was assasinated in the Louisiana Capitol Building. He became well-known throughout the United States during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. In order to stimulate the economy, he advocated a program he called “Share Our Wealth”.

Millions of Americans joined Share Our Wealth clubs which were springing up all across the country. Long was either loved as a populist champion of the poor or hated as a dictatorial demagogue who was a threat to democracy. In the 1920’s when Long argued a case before the U. S. Supreme Court, Chief Justice (and former president) William Howard Taft called Long “the most brilliant lawyer who ever practiced” before the court. Long was mortally wounded by a lone assassin in September of 1935.

Share Our Wealth Program

The basic gist of Huey Long’s Share Our Wealth program was that way too much of the wealth of the United States had become concentrated in way too few people. These mega-rich individuals used their riches to buy political influence and continuously tip the scales of the system in their favor. He advocated for a wealth tax and wealth redistribution program he called Share Our Wealth. In December of 1934, he gave a speech before the Washington Press Club that history has labelled the “Huey Long Barbeque Speech”. It is freely available on the internet if you wish to actually listen to it. I will give you a few passages to give you an idea of the flavor of the speech.

The Barbeque Speech

“How many men ever went to a barbeque and would let one man take off the table what’s intended for 9/10ths of the people to eat. The only way you’ll ever be able to feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back and bring back some of that grub he ain’t got no business with.”

“We have been praying to the Almighty to send us to a feast….The Lord has answered the prayer. He has called the barbeque: ‘Come to my feast’ He said to 125 million American people. But Morgan and Rockefeller and Mellon and Baruch have walked up and took 85 percent of the vittles off the table.”

“Now how you going to feed the balance of the people? What’s Morgan and Baruch and Rockefeller and Mellon gonna do with all that grub. They can’t eat it, they can’t wear the clothes. They can’t live in the houses. Give ’em a yacht! Give ’em a palace! Send them to Reno and give them a new wife when they want it, if that’s what they want.”

” But when they’ve got everything on God’s loving earth that they can eat and they can wear and they can live in, and all that their children can live in and wear and eat, and all their children’s children can use, then we got to call Mr. Morgan and Mr. Mellon and Mr. Rockefeller back and say, ‘ Come on back here. Put that stuff back on the table here that you took away from here — that you don’t need. Leave something else for the American people to consume’. And that’s the program.”

It’s Concentrated

Wealth in America is concentrating more and more into fewer and fewer hands as the years roll on. The wealthiest 1 percent of Americans now possess 40 percent of the nation’s wealth. The top 10 percent hold about 75 percent, while the bottom 90 percent holds roughly 25 percent of the nation’s wealth. Picture a large pie sliced into ten slices to serve ten people. One guy comes along and takes seven and a half of the slices for himself. This is where things stand nowadays.

Of that 40 percent owned by the top 1 percent, an astounding 50 percent of that is held by just 1/10th of 1 percent! Between 1989 and 2016, the wealth of the nation held by the bottom 90 percent of Americans decreased from 35 percent to 25 percent while the wealth held by the top 1 percent increased from 30 percent to 40 percent. Events are definitely trending in a certain direction. What do you think? How do you feel about this ongoing financial development? Do you believe that the mega-rich are going to be satisfied with stopping at 40 percent? Were they satisfied with stopping at 30 percent? Here is the most important question of all. What can you personally do about it?

Make Your Choice

This concentrated wealth is utilized by those possessing it to purchase influence in the structuring of society’s laws, rules, regulations, and norms. To coin a phrase, “the thumb is on the scale”. That is why it is absolutely critical that you make the choice to learn how to effectively use the true power of your subconscious mind to manifest the reality that you desire. Your subconscious mind is your direct connection to the Almighty, the Divine Force that supersedes everything, everybody, everywhere, the Divine Force that holds everything in the universe together.

A Stacked Deck

You are no match against the raw power of the billionaires. The deck is heavily stacked in their favor. Their ultimate plan is clear — to take even more of the nation’s wealth than they now possess. A lot more. Unfortunately, their intent is to simply crush anyone who gets in their way and control the rest. Fortunately however, billionaires are no match whatsoever against the power of the Kingdom of God. And the good news is that the Kingdom of God is within you always. Believe it. It is the way the Creator made you. Make the choice to live your life with true power. Power that does not come from society but from the Kingdom of God. The power of the Kingdom of God within you is stronger than all the world’s billionaires. It is your protection. It is your peaceful fortress.

Conceive. Believe. Receive.

Jesus Christ stated it with crystal clarity. “Whatsoever things you desire, believe that you have received them, and they will be yours.” Your belief has to go beyond your surface consciousness. It has to go far beyond “I think I can achieve this” or even “I believe I will achieve this”. It has to go all the way to the end. Your belief has to go to the “I have already received this” belief level. Most humans, myself included, find this difficult to do for extended periods of time. Doubt and fear always want to crash the party. If however, you are one that is able to do it, then my friend, you have in your hand the golden key that opens the door to your success regardless of any and all societal conditions, conundrums or chaos.

Conceive. Believe. Receive.
