On my weekly radio show "Get Real" (www.hayhouseradio.com) I presented a program on prosperity. In advance, I announced that I would be doing on-the-air coaching for listeners who wanted help with issues of abundance.

Well, I am not at all certain the economy will recover. I am actually not that convinced it is even sick. And I am rather certain that no amount of stimulation will change what is … [Read more...]

Prosperity in Changing Times

"The Law of Attraction" has become a mainstream topic of talk that tells us that anything is possible if we just change our mind. Meanwhile the world is undergoing the worst economic downturn in most of our memories. Never before have such widely divergent realities of hope and fear pulled at us. Those of us willing to entertain New Thought ideas of limitlessness may still find ourselves drawn into the collective experience of scarcity as the crashing economy and mass panic make "changing our … [Read more...]
