A personal message from Victor: "I have been blessed. I used to be broke, struggling and miserable. (Yes, I know how that feels.) Today, my life teems with abundance and celebration. Along the way, I've learned a few things. And my greatest joy is sharing what I know with others. If you want to read anything I've written (or correspond with me), please do. If not, that's fine too. But whatever you do, I sincerely wish you the greatest of success and happiness. You deserve it."
When I first read this book I thought -- it cannot fail anyone. If it appears to not work, then people were either doing it wrong, or they didn't do it long enough.
But it nearly destroyed me, and it still might.
I did this process now for close to two and a half years. I read the book multiple times and contacted the author twice, I know I was meticulously doing it correctly every day. I've done affirmations with non monetary issues before and they worked well with me.
When I started, my money was already holding steady with a good monthly income and 5-digit savings. I could easily pay my mortgage, take care of pets in my care, help my extended family, get the out of pocket health care I needed that my insurance wouldn't pay. Yet there was still so much more I could do for myself and others with more money inflow. So I started this program.
Nothing changed for the 1st 9 months -- no complaint there.
But then, money got far worse than ever in my life and remains so without ever returning even to my previous state. I couldn't afford the out of pocket health care, could not travel to my dying father (he's now gone), couldn't get remedies one of my pets needed, and the day to day exhaustion of never knowing how I'd pay my mortgage and mounting debt (which I previously had none of except a mortgage with a perfect credit rating) was a hell like no other.
I was eating from an old sack of brown rice and an old dried out bottle of blackstrap molasses for a few more calories and minerals. I went 20 pounds underweight. I never stopped doing the 2-prong approach. I had multiple ways money could come into my life with my skills and past businesses. Everything from every source known and unknown stopped. I was willing to sell any furniture or family heirlooms, go back to physical labor, whatever I needed to do to get through whatever was happening.
All doors to that remained shut, also. No one responded to any of what I offered. "Unexpected" breakages started happening around my home to where I couldn't even sell my home at a loss or a wash with no equity without first repairing certain items our city requires before selling. And the repairs were expensive.
If this book had warned the readers that on occasion, some people will get worse, and here's what to do about that, then I would not have put my family, my own, my mortgage, and my pet's well-being in danger by taking the chance, and would have at least paid off my mortgage in a conventional way first, waited 'til my dad passed, or in some way tried this money experiment in a way that it wouldn't harm other innocents in my life who depended on me. But since I had come from a place with a mortgage already and vulnerable pets/elder family members, it wasn't just me who was hurt by this problem.
But this book not only does not work for everyone who uses it correctly, it can take them backwards. Taking a longer than normal time is one thing. Setbacks balanced by steps forward are also to be expected. But reversing and remaining so month after month after month after month -- going into multiple years -- while people and innocent animals' lives are destroyed is yet another.
A short "chemicalization" is also yet another thing, where for a short amount of time, things get worse, but what was once lost is restored even better than before. I cannot get my deceased pet's health back, my father's last moments, etc. etc.
Even for me, it could be this book is one vital step among other steps that would have worked. But no one was there to show what the other steps were that needed to accompany it to stop the destruction it caused. Kind of like a knife is a necessary tool for a surgeon, but without the anesthesia and disinfecting solution, it can cause destruction.
The 'other steps' I knew on my own, which I applied, included EFT, hours of pleasant visualization, singing one of the affirmations regularly which in the past, worked to even change the shape of my body, and treasure maps. Treasure maps alone have brought me what I desired as soon as the next day in the past. They were for items or circumstances vs. money. Also, as far as integrating feelings as the author suggested, I already practiced Integrated Restorative Yoga Nidra, a process that frees and reintegrates stuck emotions, as well as Centering Prayer and Welcoming Prayer, which also release, allow and shed light on emotions stuck deep in the subconscious.
There is a collective subconsciousness that carries the story of negative money inflow. It's in our shared subconscious and we don't know in what form, or how deep it is in each individual. For those who are somewhat less complex in it, no matter how bad their outside circumstances are, this book is all they need to come bounding back to wealth.
For others who are stuck with more complex and deeper aspects of the negative money story, we need far more than this book. Because the ego-operating system that doesn't want riches to appear in humanity's story will come at those of us with a vengeance. And it has a hayday with us because we remain alone with it, there is no social support for this -- in fact we can even be hated and scorned for responding to the 2-prong approach in the way that we did because others fear if it could happen to one, it could also happen to them.
No one wants to believe what's happening to us is really happening. No one helps, instead they almost nervously point the finger away from themselves and onto us and say, "stop bellyaching" or they give us a list of more flaws that we must have which are creating the reality of money lack -- which the ego loves for us to hear, because then the story of lack digs deeper into us (yet also into the collective subconsciousness which we share with them).
The book describes the quality of having a money repellent as actually having a money addiction. A craving or a neediness so desperate that it repels the money. It also does a good job of describing the arguments the subconscious will offer once the affirmations begin in earnest -- such as, "That much money is impossible for you!"
But it misses something beyond an addiction and beyond typical disbelief arguments that come from affirmations. Sometimes there's something else within the person that's not saying simply, "That much money is impossible for you," but rather, "That much money will kill you." Thinking abundant money would be nice but impossible is one thing... thinking abundant money is very possible but will be the death of you is quite another. In that case, it isn't just the craving for money that's repelling it, it's something from within that's not craving it at all -- that's trying to protect the person from receiving that which would kill him or her.
As just one of many ways our subconscious can see money as a death sentence: Our primal source of survival is tribal. Tribal predates money as a source of security. If the tribe does not approve of us, if we are deserted, that means death, and possibly a lot of suffering before the death. If a person is subconsciously wired that money will bring tribal disapproval -- it will protect the person from that at all costs. When some people see movies about "bad rich people," they go away entertained and unaffected. When others see such movies, they may be unknowingly feeding a wiring they came to earth with that money means disapproval, then punishment, then death. If we could change the subconscious merely by scolding its silliness about such things as old tribal beliefs, no one would have any money problems. So dismissive comments such as "Don't worry if your neighbors are jealous of your money" only serve to push that subconscious belief which is trying to escape back down into disguised expressions again.
Espectacular. Uno de los libros más directos al grano que he leído. Ha sido una de esas experiencias en las que por fin se conectan varias ideas y hechos que llevaba años viendo y que por fin he entendido. No conocía la Ley de Repulsión, aunque lo intuía, y ha sido leer sobre ello y ver la luz.
He aprendido que una adicción es cuando deseas algo pero al mismo tiempo lo necesitas, de manera que si no lo consigues se vuelve algo negativo. Está bien desear, pero se vuelve adicción cuando hay apego. En ese momento se vuelve una adicción, y tal y como he aprendido del Budismo, el apego es uno de los orígenes del sufrimiento. Para que ese deseo sea algo positivo, más que una adicción o necesidad, debe ser una preferencia. Es decir, que realmente tu felicidad no debe estar influenciada por su consecución. A nivel mental es como decir "me encantaría tener esto, o que pasase aquello, pero me da igual si no pasa". Cuanto más lo pienso, más me doy cuenta de la cantidad de cosas que he conseguido en mi vida porque simplemente me daba igual conseguirlas o no, como en la entrevista para el máster, la beca, o muchos trabajos como actor y como modelo.
Pero, ¿qué haces si necesitas dinero o trabajo? En ese momento, es una necesidad, es una adicción. Puedes sentir emociones negativas que repelan el dinero. ¿Qué haces entonces? El autor da un método súper simple y práctico que tiene dos elementos: uno para maximizar tu atracción al dinero, y otro para minimizar tu repulsión del dinero. El segundo, que es lo nuevo para mi, consiste en donar parte del dinero cuando lo recibas, entre el 1 y 5 porciento. De esta manera, estás voluntariamente soltando dinero, y a nivel mental estás más relajado, y esta acción hace que tu adicción se eleve a preferencia.
La primera vez que leí ese concepto, aunque no se hablaba de ninguna ley, fue de la mano de Robert Kiyosaki. Recuerdo al final de Padre Rico, Padre Pobre cómo explicaba que una de las leyes fundamentales de la vida es que si quieres recibir, antes tienes que dar. No es algo exclusivo al dinero, sino con todo. Si quieres respeto, primero debes dar respeto. Si quieres atención, primero debes dar atención. Si quieres amor, primero debes dar amor.
Curiosamente, esto tiene relación con algo que he aprendido en Jiu Jitsu esta semana, relacionada con el equilibrio y la física. Cuando estás luchando con alguien y no hay movimiento, no quiere decir que no haya fuerzas siendo aplicadas, quiere decir que las fuerzas están equilibradas. Ocurre lo mismo si estás estancado económicamente (o en cualquier ámbito, ya puestos). Por ejemplo, si estás de pie y estás tirando de tu oponente, tú te estás echando hacia atrás buscando desequilibrar a tu contrincante, y él está haciendo una fuerza en el sentido opuesto. En dicha situación, puedes tirar con mucha fuerza y que no haya movimiento porque está compensada. ¿Qué haces en ese caso? Si está compensado, siginifica que tu oponente está realizando la misma fuerza en sentido opuesto, por lo que puedes cambiar tu enfoque de tirar a empujar y sorprenderlo, ganando ventaja. Ese cambio en la dirección en la que aplicas la fuerza, hacia fuera en vez de hacia dentro, es el mismo concepto que cambiar de sólo querer recibir dinero a donar parte. Me gusta esta idea.
Por otra parte, me sorprende que el autor no haga ninguna referencia al Islam cuando habla de religión. Quizás porque no lo sepa, pero dar el 2.5% de tus beneficios es uno de los cinco pilares del Islam.
En general, diría que es uno de los libros más prácticos que he leído y tengo la sensación de que, aunque sean conceptos sencillos, te pueden cambiar la vida. Super recomendado.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I read Hill's Think & Grow Rich and also his less famous book Think & Grow Rich With Peace of Mind. I read Wattles The Science of Getting Rich. I read The Secret. I read DeMarco's excellent book Fastlane Millionaire
I think Amazon used its algorithm and suggested Victor's book. I decided to read it.
Of course I have known and practiced affirmations for decades. I have extensively studied the subconscious mind and how it operates.
I as a Christian know about TITHING your 10%. HOWEVER I have been afraid to do it.
Now Victor offers another solution - GLAD GIVING that I have no problem doing!
Yes if you put his two part formula to WORK you should see RESULTS!
I am a former Post Newsweek consumer reporter and starting November 1, 2022 I plan to do both parts EVERY day for his suggested 90 days. NINE happens to be my lucky number.
Another LAW book with "practical" advice on how to get into the flow of money by imagination, affirmations, etc. Nothing new here. And it seems like it has been written for teenagers, to be honest. All these positive and enthusiastic reviews more or less say the same thing: what a wonderful book to read. But I don't see anyone writing about SPECIFIC results they have achieved. Probably because they have not. There are many books better than this about LAW and practical steps, and of those only a few bring forward the most critical factors to pursuing money and success: WORK and PERSISTENCE. This book is not one of them, it does not even contain these words.
At first I thought it was a as called business & economics book, that it would gave financial advice or at the minimum would gave some mindset advice to achieve the ‘money brain’ as they call. Well… a part of what I expected came back in the book, only not in the context I expected.
The book calls of what nowadays is a somewhat trend- the law of attraction. The book goes in to what i think is partly theoretical information and partly conspiracy. About the consious and subconsious mind. And how you can achieve the ‘money brain’ with use of both of them.
I liked this book because I believe in the law of attraction and this is different from any other money manifestation I’ve ever done. It’s easy and possible for anyone to do. I’m still in the beginning stages but I have an amazing feeling that this advice will work.
These book gives clear guidelines to create strong images for financial success while developing a healthy relationship with money. I am inspired to practice these teachings and watch prosperity grow in my life I enjoyed the reading, light and smart, like speaking to a friend
This is one of the most interesting books I have read. The concepts are life changing if you commit to applying them in your life. Definitely recommend to read it, then read it again, and then again. In fact never stop reading it. Once a year should suffice.
A must read for anyone serious about improving their finances and achieving financial freedom. I have read many books on the subject, all pretty much saying the same thing in different ways. This one gave an added perspective I had not previously found in any other book. The title is both accurate and appropriate.
Very practical and encouraging book. I was surprised I learned new concepts and helped me understand what I needed to change about my perspective regarding money. Thank you for writing this book.
I love reading the book.The 2 prong method discussed here is what all successful people practice but are not aware of the same.After reading this book, now I have became aware of it & will definitely try the same time to be successful in all areas of life.
I am very impressed with the way Victor outlined his material in this book. His teachings inspired me to do glad giving. I believe this will improve my financial situation greatly.
Very interesting take on money & the law of attraction, a good read. This book shows you how to use affirmations to make a considerable difference in your life, while creating a flow of money & reducing/ eliminating your addiction to it at the same time
This was an amazing book! I read it in two days because it was so engaging and motivational. I really believe that if I apply these principles I will have immense wealth!
A different take on money management. It introduces the concept of glad-giving. I'm going to give the ideas in this book a go. I'm interested in the ideas in this book .
Very clear and precise with good reasoning. This book does make you think about your life on a day to day basis as well as your long term goals. It is an interesting process that is presented here and I am willing to give it a go and see where it takes me. Curious as to if anyone else has read through this process and put it into action. If so, what were your results? I would recommend this book to others if they are open minded to trying the process out.
This book definitely has me intrigued. It was recommended to me by others who've had success with his method. The methods are based on ideas in the law of attraction including verbal and written affirmations and visualizations. He also goes into the flow of money and how you can increase how much you receive by giving away a percentage of your income. I've started his method, time will tell if it works.
I have been trying to find a way to rid myself of my financial worries for a long time. I am so glad that I found this book. I have started my journey today and I am never looking back. I am sending this book as a gift to my best friend, I know she will not want to put it down.
The best book I in have ever read. I practiced the two prong method and within a few weeks my life changed forever. I was able to manifest things that I only saw in a dream. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants change, However, you have to do exactly what is asked of you. This method works. However, only if you work it.
