Tapping Transcription: Resisting Abundance V. Closing Quotation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Article: Better to Give than Receive…? Okay, you’ve probably heard the statement many times before… ‘Tis better to give than to receive. Or more blessed, or whatever. Because of my experience working with so many people, I have a problem with this aphorism. Now, don’t get me wrong… I have no problem with the idea that giving is good or blessed – I certainly agree with that, and encourage folks to be of service. Giving is great, no questions about it. But saying that it is better than receiving slams the act of receiving. And that has caused no end of needless suffering. Obviously, there have been plenty of people who have felt that receiving was better than giving… even to the extent that they seem to do that exclusively. But I would like to set up a distinction here – that kind of attitude moves from receiving to taking. These folks are not so much receivers as takers. And while it might appear that there are obvious benefits to those indulging in the act of taking, I would suggest that it is definitely a lower vibration activity than giving or receiving. Maybe this statement was put out there as PR campaign to deal with a rising epidemic of taking…? But receiving is a different matter. In fact, it is a necessary part of the whole giving and receiving equation. Because if no one is willing to receive, no one will be able to give. If you want to enjoy the blessed experience of giving, that creates the need for someone to receive. And if you are of the mind that it is better to give than receive, does that perhaps suggest a certain level of contempt for the recipient of your charity…? Are you harboring the thought that because it is better to give than receive, then you the giver must be better than the receiver…? Kind of trashes the whole spirit of the act of giving, doesn’t it? If you feel blessed when you give, then the person receiving is giving you the opportunity to feel blessed. So they are, in turn, a giver. You likewise give someone a gift when you allow yourself to receive, such that they have the chance to give. When you refuse to receive simply because you think it is wrong to receive, you are not being noble. You are being ungracious. You are actually being kinda selfish. Consider what part of you is trying to look good at your own expense as well as that of the person being rebuked. It is like the person who goes about showing how humble they are in a way that makes them stand out, such that people are inclined to say, “Wow that person is so humble – what a great person they are!” Go figure. Egos are funny things. Tricky. Dangerous even. And we’ve all got ‘em – it’s just a matter of trying to keep them in check so they don’t get in the way of real joy. Obviously, there are many other reasons that people block themselves from receiving, but I won’t go into all of them here. The most rampant perhaps being a feeling of unworthiness. For someone stuck in this feeling that they don’t deserve to receive, or even any of the other reasons for not allowing, the idea that it is better to give than receive becomes a comfort – a bit of solace that if they can’t receive, at least they are being a good person. This is a pattern that often gets passed down through generations like a family heirloom, to the point that no one even considers the possibility that receiving is even an option. And it may have started with some ancestor simply trying to justify their limitations. This kind of passed-on misinformation is a human tragedy I’ve seen played out many times. This Universe has unlimited abundance, and it is here for you. And it can show up through many channels. Are you allowing yourself to receive it? Do you ask God to bless you with abundance, but then oh-so-nobly decline a generous gift from a friend..? “No, no – I couldn’t…” Consider the possibility that you are saying that to the Source that was delivering to you through your friend. Maybe you believe you will be willing to receive when the abundance magically shows up with a hand-written note from God commanding you to accept it…? When you offer a gift or service to someone and they decline it, how do you feel? Kind of incomplete – or maybe even rejected. Is that the kind of feeling you want to prompt in other people? If you keep offering, and your offers keep being declined, don’t you start to feel less inclined to offer? Maybe you might want to start receiving before certain offers dry up. Fortunately, I don’t think God ever stops offering – the abundance Is always there for us. But certain obvious channels might be less magnanimous and patient. And you might have developed such a habit of declining that you barely even notice the offers. Now, I’m not saying you need to accept everything offered to you. Especially given that, as you open yourself up more to receiving, you will likely be inundated with more things than you have time or space to accept. And some of those things will be things you don’t want, and you don’t need to fill your time and space with what you don’t want. I’m just encouraging you to check any level of scorn you have for receiving. Because you are missing out on so many cool things! Stop that! Try giving the gift of receiving so that others may feel the joy of giving. And on top of all that, if you don’t allow yourself to receive, you will have nothing to give. Now, please do keep giving – be of as much service as you can – but know that it is also blessed to receive, for it completes the act of giving. (Plus – you get cool things!) Thanks to my wonderful wife, Christy, whose keen eye – both technically and artistically – is of great help. (Not that my ego doesn’t foolishly block me from accepting it sometimes… ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II. News and Information LIVE APPEARANCES and NEW TELECLASSES! In the next few days, I will be sending out an announcement about some live appearances I’ll be doing – which are fairly rare. Two will be at East-West Books, and one will be at a symposium on tools for addiction recovery. More details soon… I’ll also be announcing new ongoing weekly teleclasses, including the much-requested Sales Beyond Belief and the return of Tapping into Vibrant Health (formerly “Weight-loss Without Willpower”) and Tapping into Abundance! Here’s a thought that just occurred to me that I was compelled to share: Nelson Mandela is a great world leader who was imprisoned for 27 years. Here’s my question to you… How long has the leader within you been in prison…? I hope I can be of service to you in setting that leader free. (Because we could really use you…) ******************************* TRY IT ON EVERYTHING! A group of delightful folks back East are putting together a documentary on EFT. Joe Vitale and Bob Doyle were both interviewed for the film, and I was very pleased to learn that they both mentioned me – prompting the producers to invite me to be a part of the film. I even had the pleasure of meeting Jack Canfield, who was interviewed for the film right before me. You can see the trailer here: http://www.tryitoneverything.com/ ******************************* OTHER STUFF… There are resources aplenty at my site – all kinds of virtual stocking stuffers - eTappings, iTappings, eBooks, teleclasses and info on working with me individually. Visit: www.bradyates.net/welcome.html And… www.theplottosavetheworld.com www.moneybeyondbelief.com www.salesbeyondbelief.com/page3.html www.golfbeyondbelief.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- III. Must-See Links and Stuff "WE ARE NEVER ALONE" This was sent to me by one of my oldest and dearest friends, Christopher Villa, who is perhaps one of the most brilliant stage fight choreographers ever (I assisted him on a number of shows and classes at UC Irvine, as well as on “Romeo and Juliet” at South Coast Repertory during their Tony Award winning season!) He’s also a talented artist, musician and poet. http://drama.arts.uci.edu/faculty/villa.html Anyhow, I loved this and I had to share it. “We Are Never Alone” Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of passage? His dad takes him into the forest.. blindfolded... and leaves him.... alone. He is required to sit on a stump the whole night... and not take off the blindfold until the ray of sun shines through it. He is all by himself. He cannot cry out for help to anyone. Once he survives the night..he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience. Each lad must come into his own manhood. The boy was terrified... he could hear all kinds of noise... Beasts were all around him. Maybe even some human would hurt him. The wind blew the grass and earth... and it shook his stump. But he sat stoically.. never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could be a man. Finally, after a horrific night.. the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he saw his father.. sitting on the stump next to him... at watch... the entire night. We are never alone. Even when we do not know it, our Father is protecting us... He is sitting on the stump beside us. All we have to do is reach out to Him. ******************************* GREAT VIDEO!!! We are in the early stages of a teleseminar using Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” and it is going great – a wonderful group of people are involved! How perfect that I was just introduced to this video – Dan Dunn is my new artistic hero! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIJtKxdRQzY ******************************* ARE YOU GETTING “MESSAGES FROM THE UNIVERSE”…? My buddy (and “Secret” star) Mike Dooley offers Totally Unique Thoughts (TUT) that I love receiving each morning. And they, too, are free. Sign up here: http://www.tut.com/?a_aid=7c443f01 ******************************* MARKETING GENIUS HAS SUPER SALE My friend Kathleen Gage just announced a HUGE blowout sale of her Street Smarts Marketing Products. These are the very products that have helped people from around the globe gain massive visibility on the Internet, reach more of their market (often for free), increase revenues, and develop winning systems for their businesses. If you're looking for ways to grow your business, increase revenues, gain massive visibility on the Internet and within your market, obtain insider information on how to be a featured guest on talk shows, and much, much more (including bonuses) then read all about this great opportunity by clicking here: http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?af=641614 ******************************* “SOUL SONG OF THE EARTH” CD Another friend of mine, Jennifer McLean (who, like me, will be featured in Joe Vitale’s next book, “The Key”) is offering some VERY cool freebies, including a complimentary Soul Song of the Earth CD and desktop version of The Big Book of You Movies. Check them out here: www.soulsongoffer.com ******************************* YOUR MAP TO SUCCESS While I know the importance of goals, I am admittedly no expert on the subject. But I am always interested in fresh takes on this subject, and found one from Corey Lavender. In this newsletter you will discover: • the secrets that today’s self-made millionaires used to achieve their dreams • powerful techniques to attract into your life the things you want • how to overcome the obstacles that keep you from reaching your full potential • inexpensive products that will help you get out of the rat race and on the path to success • and more... Check it out: http://www.yourmaptosuccess.com/ ******************************* SPEAKING OF BOB DOYLE… If you are not already familiar with one of the greatest Law of Attraction sites on the internet, check it out here: video we produced that answers some of the more common questions that come up for people after they watch "The Secret." The video got over 3500 views on YouTube over night, so there is clearly a bit of interest in the content. http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/bobresponds.html?aid=byates ******************************* HOW TO MAKE DONATIONS FOR FR.EE There are some sites where you can simply click a link, and a sponsor will make a donation on your behalf – it is a simple way to support some worthy causes. For a couple of years now, I’ve had these sites as my homepage, so that I click first thing each day. They also have some cool products, like the “Cultivate Peace” wristband I wear, which provide an opportunity for additional contribution. I’ve been told the Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free. Again, this doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Click on the site below and then click on the purple box. Then please also click on the links for the other charitable organizations. And pass it along to people you know. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com Thank you! ******************************* NEWS FOR THE SOUL If you haven’t been to this site, you are missing out. NFTS is ranked by Google as the #1 Life-Changing Talk Radio Show on the Internet. You’ll find lots of great interviews to enhance your life – including several with yours truly. www.newsforthesoul.com. Please also support this amazing resource – lots of material to strengthen your spiritual connection, so it’s a great place to tithe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.

Closing Quotation “I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” - Galileo Galilei ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Reminder Item Perhaps you've read my article called Manifestation 101, which SelfGrowth.com also distributed. The manifestation steps are: 1. Create It 2. Clear It 3. Live It 4. Let Go (& Let God) 5. Get Movin’ (aka Take Likely Action) To go along with that, here is a collection of affirmations from abundance experts John Randolph Price and Catherine Ponder. I recommend you print these out and post them where you will read them each morning. Nothing is too good to be true. Nothing is too wonderful to happen. Nothing is too good to last. My conscious awareness of the Divine Presence as my supply is my supply. I am now consciously aware of the indwelling fountain of overflowing abundance. Therefore, I AM abundant supply. My consciousness is the very energy of money. I AM the Spirit of Infinite Plenty. I am boundless abundance, and with love in my heart, I let the universal riches stream forth into perfect manifestation. What is expressed in love must be returned in full measure. Therefore, wave after wave of visible money supply flows to me now. I am wonderfully rich in consciousness, and I am bountifully supplied with money. I now realize my plan for abundant living. There is always an abundance of money, and I now let it come to me. I am open to receive. I cannot be limited, for I am the Shining Sun of Supply, and God’s wealth fills my world. I am receiving. I am receiving now. I am receiving all the wealth that the universe has for me now. I do not depend on persons or conditions for my good. God is the source of my supply and God provides his own amazing channels of good to me now. All that is mine by divine right now comes to me speedily, richly, freely and easily. I am receiving now. It is finished. It is done. I give thanks that I have received, and that my good appears in rich appropriate form under divine timing. I expect Success!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading! Please let me know how I might be of further service as you clear emotional pain and embrace the joyful success you so richly deserve! Be Magnificent!
