Does It Pay to Be a Slacker?

September 1st, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Deliberate Creation, Law of Attraction, Personal Growth, deliberate creator, jobs, slacker, work No Comments »

I was out for a mountain bike ride with a friend on Saturday morning. He’s just “survived” a massive round of layoffs at his company. And as we were huffing and puffing our way up one of the longer, but not-so-steep climbs, we chatted about his situation.

He’s a great worker – friendly, positive, excellent work ethic – but since the company laid off over 30% of the workers in his office and asked those who remained to take on the added work-load with no additional benefits, he’s been having a difficult time getting motivated to do the great work he’s known for.

He’s been talking to some of his ex-colleagues who were laid off. They all got 6-months of severance pay and are enjoying an extended “paid vacation.”

That’s when I told him that sometimes it does pay to be a slacker!

We laughed, but ultimately agreed that we would not want to be a resident of slackerdom, even if we would get the occasional treat.

As a Deliberate Creator, have you ever been in a situation like that? Have you ever seen others receiving “gifts” while you seem to have been “passed over?”

If so, what lesson did you take from that experience? Does it pay to be a slacker? Or is there some other message for Deliberate Creators?

The Deliberate Creator’s Declaration of Independence

July 8th, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Carnival, Deliberate Creation, Fun, Inspiration, Law of Attraction, Personal Growth, declaration of independence, deliberat creators No Comments »

Declaration of Independence

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to dissolve the Mental, Emotional, Physical and Energetic bonds which have connected one person to another, and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal privileges to which the laws of the Universe entitle them, their own self-respect requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all Deliberate Creators are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creative Source with certain unalienable rights and that among these are life, liberty, abundance, joy and the pursuit of happiness.

To secure these rights, certain thoughts, beliefs and ideologies have been instituted among men and women, deriving their just powers from the consent of the people. And whenever any of these thoughts, beliefs or ideologies becomes destructive to these unalienable rights, it is the responsibility of Deliberate Creators to alter or abolish them, and to institute new ones, laying their foundation on such principles and organizing their powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to empower their natural states of abundance, joy and love.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that beliefs long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. But experience has shown that individuals are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the beliefs to which they are accustomed. But when existing thoughts, beliefs and ideologies sabotage, subvert and ultimately destroy the will of Deliberate Creators, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such belief systems, and to create and embrace new beliefs that empower their strength, prosperity and evolution.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Deliberate Creators; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of thought, belief and ideology. The history of the existing Prevailing Belief System is a history of ongoing injury and usurpation, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these Deliberate Creators.

To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

  • This belief system would have us base our actions on fear.
  • This belief system holds that we lack personal power.
  • This belief system affirms that we are unable manifest our desires.
  • This belief system defines the world as a dangerous place.
  • This belief system alleges that scarcity and lack is our natural state.
  • This belief system asserts that we are meant to struggle and suffer.
  • This belief system avows that vulnerability, intimacy and trust are weaknesses.
  • This belief system affirms that we are unworthy, undeserving and not good enough.

We, therefore, the representatives of the Deliberate Creators of the World, appealing to the Creative Source for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of all Deliberate Creators, solemnly publish and declare, that we are, and of right ought to be free and independent from the Prevailing Belief System; that we are absolved from all allegiance to those beliefs and that all Mental, Emotional, Physical and Energetic connections between us and the Prevailing Belief System, are and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as free and independent Deliberate Creators, we have full power to attract our desires, seek ever greater joy, engage in inspired action, bask in the limitless abundance of this Universe, and do all other things which true Deliberate Creators may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Creative Source, we mutually pledge to each other our support, our encouragement and our sacred honor.


If you would like to join us in declaring your independence from the prevailing belief system, add your name to the comments below. Every signature added to this document weakens the prevailing belief system and strengthens the new beliefs that empower our ability to create the lives we desire and the world we want!

Free Teleclass - The Fulcrum Point

April 23rd, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Deliberate Creation, Law of Attraction, Personal Growth, Workshops, energetics of attraction, fulcrum point, harmonics of human awareness, power of positive thinking No Comments »

The Power of Positive Thinking is great… Until you get stuck on a deeply embedded, long-standing limiting belief. Then it can get a bit tricky.

Einstein pointed out that we can’t solve a problem at the same level of thinking or consciousness from which that problem was created. And yet, that’s what we usually try to do!

If we catch ourselves having a limiting thought, our first reaction is usually to try to change the thought. It can work, but it takes a lot of work, a lot of time, and a lot of diligence.

There’s a simpler way:

Shift to another level of perception.

Our thoughts are energy. So too are our emotions, physical sensations and intuitive perceptions. And every thought has a thread that ties it to every other perceptual level.

So if you move from the level of thought to the level of, say, emotion, and find the thread from that limiting thought, you can change the energy at the level of emotion which immediately creates a similar change in the energy of the thought.

Learning to move easily, gracefully and intentionally between your perceptual levels is an important skill to master if you want to be the Deliberate Creator of your life!

Later today (April 23rd) I’m offering a free teleclass on The Fulcrum Point a simple but extremely effective technique that can help you shift your perspective and find the perceptual level that will allow you to change those difficult thoughts and enhance your ability to attract your desires.

When you register for this free call you will also be given access to The Energetics of Attraction resource page which includes the free report: The Harmonics of Human Awareness and the recording from the teleclass, 3 Simple Tools to Enhance Your Intuition and Accelerate Your Attraction.

To save your seat in today’s class and get instant access to the resource page, just fill out the form below.

And even if you can’t make today’s class, go ahead and sign up anyway. The call will be recorded and I’ll let you know when the recording is posted.

Is The Law of Attraction REALLY A Law?

February 26th, 2008 Edward Mills Posted in Deliberate Creation, Law of Attraction, Personal Growth, desire, gravity, joe vitale, universal law No Comments »

Is the Law of Attraction REALLY A Law?

I’ve seen a lot of people asking this question lately: “Yeah but is the Law of Attraction really a Universal Law? You know, like gravity?”

hen there’s this question: Is it attraction or just coincidence?

Well for those of you who hate having a question answered with a question I’m going to annoy you right now because here’s my answer to both of those questions:

Does it really matter?

I mean, does it matter to you if Gravity is REALLY a Universal law? If you just slipped on some ice and are about to land on your butt, do you care whether gravity is a Universal Law? Let’s face it, your butt is going to hurt either way!

Long before the “law” of gravity was “proven,” people were falling on their butts after slipping on ice. Does that mean that gravity did not exist or that it was not a “law?” Of course not.

In order for something to be useful and effective it does not need to be proven or even provable as a Universal Law.

And in fact, I would suggest that entering into this debate is nothing more than a distraction.

Remember that one of the key concepts of the Law of Attraction is that energy flows where attention goes. In other words, wherever you focus your attention, you immediately focus your energy as well.. Now let me ask you this, would you rather have your attention and energy flowing towards the creation of the life you desire or towards determining whether or not the Law of Attraction is REALLY a Universal Law?

Of course controlling where your attention is focused is a challenge in this culture of information overwhelm. The other day I came across an online conversation that drove this point home to me, mainly because I discovered how easy it is to get drawn into this argument.

Back in November, Joe Vitale wrote a post on this subject, Is Attraction A Law? His post generated some very passionate debate with hundreds of comments. And it’s a very tempting debate to step into, and I did get sucked into it for a while before coming to my senses.

I had to choose where I wanted my energy to flow: To that debate or to some intention I have for some a positive change in my life?

So as difficult as it was – and it was difficult – I chose to pull my attention back from that debate and refocus on the specific actions I had planned for that day: Actions that I knew would take me closer to the positive change I am attracting in my life.

Here’s the bottom line: Does the Law of Attraction work? Absolutely. Is it a Universal Law? I don’t know, and honestly I don’t really care. It doesn’t matter to me because I know that it works. I’ve seen it working in my own life and in the lives of those around me.

Some will say that I’m deluding myself and that the Law of Attraction is nothing more than a bunch of hooey. Am I deluding myself? Perhaps. But again, I don’t care, because if I am deluding myself I’m doing so into a continuously better life!

So I’m going to keep using it to create the life I desire.

Remember that Henry Ford said, “If you think you can or you think you can’t, either way, you’re right.”

If you believe the Law of Attraction works or if you believe it doesn’t, either way you’re right. Whether The Law of Attraction is a Universal Law or not is irrelevant. So you need to decide if you want to believe that the Law of Attraction has the ability to help you create the life you desire or not. Again, either way, you’re right.

The choice is yours.
