I was wondering how everyone else is doing with the Abundance for Life course. I am wondering if everyone is getting what they desire from the course. Getting what they really wanted or is geting something dramatic for themselves even if it is not what they wanted.

For me, I am getting a little lucky at work. I get High speed internet access sales which I would say you have to be lucky to get those. So, in a way i am thinking the course is helping out that way. I think it might have helped me other people who are into law of attraction. So far I have not been on the path to wealth or got a really great job that would develop me. I mean i am hoping to me someone who could help me learn how to create wealth in real estate or get into a business that is a great fit for me and would be the type of business were I could get as much wealth as my initiative.

Right now for nothing dramatic or exciting. Anyone else getting something different?

Unfortunately, the benefits of the programme have not accrued for me. The goal setting process is excellent but the paraliminals do not work for me at all. I find this really strange as I have probably purchased most of Paul's paralimininals over the years and most are excellent and work really well for me. I wonder if the package I purchased is sufficient for achieveing its pupose. I have the $324 version. I note that other packages have a larger set of resources provided (albeit for a higher price) and wonder if the basic course really provides the whole picture. It seems that others on this Forum have had some success with manifesting changes. I would be most grateful for comments from users. I am based in the UK and wonder if the larger package would provide a more holistic and complete approach. I understand that the larger set includes some additional CD's. What do they include in terms of content? Is there an accelerated course included in the larger set? I am currently considering returning the set for a refund (its the first time ever for me) but would be prepared to hold out a little longer if I could get to grips with the whole process.

I think the key is the paraliminals. I don't understand why I am having difficulty when all the other tapes I have ever purchased from LSC have worked brilliantly.

I am not sure how often I should have to use the three para's in the set until they kick in but I do find they are not as powerful for me as many others I have used in recent years. For instance, I think the Labyrinth Experience is far too long for me. I lose interest and focus with this CD very easily.

I have really tried with this set. I have detailed notes of each CD - for conscious understanding - but I don't seem to get the integration of the other than conscious merging with conscious understanding. As a person who deals with change pretty well I do not understand the difficulty I ham having with this package - perhaps I need to purchase the full blown set. However, this should not really stop me manifesting the individual goals I have set through the 7 Step Process - because I am sure LSC would not have distributed the shorter or smaller pacakage if it did not work. So what is the difference between the sets? If I thought that one was more powerful or effective in bringing about change I certainly would not have gone for the cheaper format. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

What would convince you that the set was working?

Could you go into some specifics?

This course engenders a different kind of change than the other courses. It's more like Natural Brilliance than any other LSC product I've used.

What is happening or not happening, specifically, with this product that is different than the others?

I have the basic set and it is working fine for me.

What are you expecting the paraliminals to do for you?
From the sounds of it you might have hit some blocks... call them uncertainties, doubts, unfulfilled expectations, whatever.

Ironically the course will do that to many of us since we are trying to move out of our trance states and yet we cling onto them like a security blanket wanting to manifest the magic ray gun that will get rid of the invisible monsters under our bed. It's not until we learn that the ray gun is as invisible as the monsters to us that our security blanket actually provides us with some comfort and it's not until we learn that there are NO monsters under the bed that we release our grip on the security blanket.

We're really dealing with much the same thing with our trances. We fear we made will make faulty decisions, make mistakes that will punish us by not allowing us to reach our cherished goals.

So what do we do? Well if the paraliminals don't seem to be working it's time to use the other resources in the course. Do the feeling exercise. Don't try changing it. And for the paraliminals not working do the Inquiry process.

In answer to your question about the additional CDs, the meditation ones are explained in the course manual, plus the 4 interview CDs and the DVD... they are inspirational, adding other peoples experience and expertise to the information in the Course.

If you have the main course you have the foundation. The important part is to keep using the Feeling exercise and the Inquiry process often. Do you really need the other CDs to succeed? Do an enquiry process.

Alex,

I love your analogy. It's a very nice way to put it.

No ray gun, no monsters.

Chopping wood and carrying water, eh?

I'm working with the course, not sure how far I'm getting...

When should I use the feeling exercise and when should I use inquiry?

Sometimes I don't really feel any way when I do the feeling exercise.

I agree the paraliminals seem long, I lost concentration completely in the Labyrinth.

The inquiry process you can do for practice on just about any statement that you make. E.g. It is hot today... is that true? I can't learn anything... is that true? Driving in this traffic is a pain in the... is that true?

Feeling exercise do anytime you want and think of it... its great for returning yourself back into the now moment.

Moments of frustration and irritation... do the feeling exercise... any exclaimations you made about the situation do the Inquiry Process.

Here is a suggestion. For one day just do the Feeling exercise. The next day do the Inquiry process. Sit down and write a list of your truths relating to the course... this doesn't work, I'm not getting it, Paraliminal is to long, etc. Include in that list any thoughts you have about one of your goals, I can't see it happening, it's too far fetched, I'm not motivated enough so on... You created a list so then you just do the Inquiry Process on them. You don't want to do them all in one day but you can do 2 or three without too much trouble. It helps if you can work with someone on these. But you can still do them solo in a journal. If you do 3 a day in your journal for a week you'll get to the point you can start thinking about it.

In the beginning ideally write down the Inquiry. Use the feeling exercise otherwise.

If you do one day one, one day the other you'll soon remembering to do it when you need to.

I contributed a posting a few days ago stating I was having trouble manifesting the gaols from the AFL programme. I have enjoyed reading the responses and the questions and issues posed by Forum members. These are valuable and will support me in taking meaning from the process. Thanks again for the great Q's suggesting I use the Inquiry/Feeling process - keep the ideas coming - I'm off for my Ray Gun!
