Easy Solution for Creating Happiness, Self Worth, Abundance & Full Health!

By Dale Hoover

This is not just a book; it is a fun and magical adventure with how-to demonstrations of fulfillment! Beginning with my own enchanting and alchemistic escapades in opening to happiness and abundance, it then shifts to conducting the reader into a safe space to open their hearts (if they so choose) for their own enhanced newly-or-more abundant and joy-filled life experiencing.
It next progresses to self-empowerment (self validation) via a smooth transformational journey of mastering easy, clear solutions to self doubt/lack of self trust, limitations, lack, feelings of unworthiness, depression, emotional instability, problems, difficulties, worries, concerns, undesired challenges and drama; separation and division; other people's choices, interpretations, intent and agendas; illusions, untruths and unserving beliefs.
Simple ways are given to awaken to one's fullest potentials with new ways of self-creating a joy-filled and peaceful Being! Here you may come to actually experience your own budding, blooming and flowering of awakening to your unlimited multi-dimensional True Self!
This is a consciousness-expanding treatise. Parts of this book may at first seem controversial, but is rather a fearlessly utterly unique, but true, simple recipe for upliftment! The mental, linear mind might feel challenged, but hearts will joyfully sing! "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."-Marcel Proust
Expect the unexpected!

A Message from the Author

This, my first book, is in and of itself a joyful testament to all I espouse within. If I was a pet, I’d be wagging my tail, purring or chirping! I feel it is truly an amazing, fascinating and wonderful book, and I am so excited to share it with a very wide spectrum of readers. It is a universal truth of timeless wisdom, but with new and refreshing approaches, perspectives and perceptions. Within its pages can be found essential keys to creating new ways of easily shifting ones’ unserving feelings and limited Beingness. A simple route to slowly easing out of the monotony of the ‘Uninspired Ordinary.’ Here one can stretch their mind, shift their perceptions and perspectives, gain new insights and acquire new tools for real living! Prepare to take a journey of discovery into a novel tapestry of a woven mélange of delicious lip-smacking savoring, relishing, meaty, tangy, tart, sweet, acid, spicy, salty, bitter, pungent, and refreshing gusto for a successful self-paced ‘New Perspectives’ direction/progression-unfolding and expansion of one’s own unique but full and robust creative self-expression flavor! A simple opening up to all these potentials that exist, perhaps veiled or unsuspected, within you as the gifted multi-faceted Creator you already are! Yes, Creator with a capital "C!"

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. -Steve Jobs, US computer engineer & industrialist (1955 - )

Dedication

As befitting my enlightened understanding gleaned from MY life experiences, I firstly dedicate this book to…Me! (Since I, probably more than anyone, required undergoing this process.) I now fully Love and Accept myself, Trust myself, Honor myself and have an Opened Heart. I know Who I Am, and I am Valuable!

Next, I’m expressing my deep Love, thankfulness and total appreciation to the Ultimate Compassion Master, my beloved, cherished and blessed husband, Steve: Dearest, without your continuous and unending embodiment of allowing-accepting-honoring-Heart-Compassion, unswerving support, supreme Living Example/Standard, total balance, power of simplicity, superlative Safe Space creations, always lit spirit, delicious sense of humor, and total service and dedication to the fulfillment of our Life Contract, I don’t believe I ever would have been able to persevere beyond a limited survival-level life of creating drama (so I could fix it/me and in THAT way feel valuable)! Instead, you honored me with an unending fore-giveness (pre forgiveness), total acceptance and total allowing space I so needed to be able to unfold and expand into the remembrance of joy, happiness and self worth I felt so utterly lacking.

Sweetie, as a sovereign leader-Master, you are like a tuning fork that holds a higher vibration for others of us to attune to! You are the truest of teachers,---that of simply embodying the pure essence of Heart-Compassion in your very Beingness, and in which you do move and inspire so many of us! In you is the built-in humility and desire to serve that seem to be natural out-pourings of the True Treasure of your Being,---life-giving and life-sustaining Compassion-Love,---that comes from your every breath and every cell, even when in your golden silence. From the fullness of my heart-soul-spirit, I thank you so very, very much for your living-breathing Mentor-Beauty/Grace that rarely fails to inspire me to quicken my vibration-enhancement and expansion. You are truly a Beacon of Light for us slightly aware Ones to flutter around for awhile longer yet;---helping show the way to bridge between Old and New ways of Being! And thank you also for continuing to share this, our amazing Life Journey, with me.

And thank you so very much for all your many hours of geek technical assistance and suggestions during the preparation of this book: without your willing and able help, it would not have come to be! Big sweet hugs! I love you so very dearly and cherish All That You Are! I can’t find the powerful enough words to convey to you how very, very much I appreciate you,---always have and always will! Thank you, thank you, thank you times ten to the gazillionth power! (AND for being so ‘flame retardant/fire proof!’) ((*v*))

Next, I desire to express my whole-hearted appreciation for all those Dear Ones who found and founded the ‘Crimson Circle’ and stepped into their ‘Contracts with Life’ and fulfilled themselves, and also to all the other Kindred Spirits here on Earth and off world who likewise are fulfilling themselves and their chosen roles. Thank you all so very, very much for your grand service in Mastery!

And lastly but importantly, I dedicate this book to all who go through life struggling because of not knowing who they are, how they really feel, nor what they want, exhausted in spirit, but who feel sure this ain’t it, and that there has to be more, and even fulfillment. For these are the awakening ones I gift my experiences and understandings, in hopes of planting a seed of recognition or actual remembrance of their own true birthright of value, worth, natural inborn-dwelling joy and happiness!

Greetings and Welcome!

The Some 'Secrets' to Creating Joy, Happiness and Self Worth pages are what I wrote when I learned how to create my own inner peace, harmony, self worth, lit spirit and abundance (= joy and happiness). The reader would benefit by reading the material in sequence, beginning with those pages first to make fuller sense of the Manifesting Abundance and other pages, and is what the book title promises. The Manifesting Abundance pages are a rather 'magical' saga of a time of my created abundant and marvelous delights, desires, adventures, surprises, awe, wonderment, amazement, precognition, ‘magical’ synchronicities, encounters with expanded reality, enthusiasm and excitement (= HAPPINESS!). Abundance is not always material possessions, but the 'richness' of feelings (happiness!) and experiences!

The documentation shows ‘where’ I was able to ‘go’ after consciously opening up my heart and sense feelings, starting back in the year 2000, by putting myself in an active, deliberate fairly continuous sincere heartfelt verbally expressive heart-state,---because I realized my negative/pessimistic state-of-being and limiting habits and patterns that I had somehow unconsciously created (my persona, plus the fibromyalgia dis-order/dis-ease), was a depression,---which was a victimhood state of being (I can‘t help it). I had become contracted into a serious, pessimistic, reactive, controlling, demanding, resistant whiner/complainer,---existing at the very limited ‘survival’ consciousness level,---my spirit was that of a pessimist,---and I needed to choose to turn this around for myself! This was my ‘dark,’---which I found is simply where love (= compassion = total self-forgiveness, allowing, accepting, honoring) is not activated. This drama was not serving me any longer,---I was not actively choosing to embrace life! All of life! Especially all of MY life!

I finally came to the realization no one outside of ourself can ‘make’ us truly or lastingly happy, because as I’ve learned, we create our own reality,---either actively (positively or undesirably), or passively (and usually unconsciously!) with going into the ‘default mode’ of being on ‘automatic pilot’ with whatever is going around from other peoples’ choices, intent and agendas, illusions, untruths, creations, etc., if we’re not actively consciously creating by always choosing for ourself. I needed to become self-empowered after ‘giving my power away’ to two husbands by expecting them to create a life for me and to make me happy! Wasn’t ever gonna happen!

So, learning to consciously, purposefully, deliberately choose for myself has not only contributed to my self-worth, happiness and peaceful contentment, but grown myself into a ‘state’ of a fearless ‘safe space life.’ I realized that every thing/every event, circumstance, condition or person that comes into my life does so because of whatever attracting 'energies' (‘vibes’) I’m sending out (we get what we give), and my positive and safe life unfolds when I keep my heart open by maintaining my focus/attention on active expressions of inviting, welcoming, acceptance, allowing, honoring, enthusiasm, appreciation, and thankfulness, etc. –-our ‘harmonic innerprizes!’ Life is simple (perhaps not always easy, but I found we can shift that, too)!

And, as long as I can be consciously aware (one passion in my life) of what I’m ‘giving out,’ and choose to maintain my own self-loving (= self-valuing) personal ‘safe space,’ I won’t (and don’t) attract ‘unsafe’ people, events or circumstances (including illness, dis-orders, dis-eases or ‘accidents’ or undesired challenges/problems/troubles) into my personal life, and I am free of fear in this self-empowered safe way! My goodness returns only ‘like’ back to me, as ‘like‘ attracts ‘like!’ Un-patterning via New Perspectives that now serve the expanded me. This is ‘tapping into’ a certain level of consciousness and maintaining it with our personal over-all ‘vibes’/ESSENCE that automatically brings back/CREATES the over-all ESSENCE/flavor of our ‘What Is’ life. (This occurs eventually with any level/type of consciousness one taps into and maintains,--brutality, slavery, kindness, excitement, etc. We PRE-PAVE our incoming personal reality road/life experience with the ‘vibes’ we maintain on an on-going basis.)

I found conscious deep breathing from time to time through-out each day/evening is a huge key to create and maintain our active awake-awareness and activate our creative and vital Life Force Energy (‘light’ our spirit/Authentic Self), and a way of continually choosing to live,---a real must!

The Darwinian belief/theory that life and evolution is based on the survival of the fittest via competition and a struggle for existence is incorrect: evolution at its deepest core level is really and actually truly based on cooperation/co-creation. The 2-D,---2nd dimensional, ‘predator/prey’ scenario is but a ‘dance’ of cooperation between the species for example, and it's truly merely a limited 3-D human emotional-drama-misperception of it as being otherwise, and causes us to be fearful. And nature doesn’t function all by itself either, as the very real nature spirit Beings termed ‘Elementals’ are embodied within all of it.

Souled human ‘animals’ are a coherent ‘thing’ called 'humanity,' where we evolved to live as an harmonious community/social society. Human life is more than a series of accidents, random events or ‘survival-level’ living. And it is just pure dogma (‘mythperceptions’) that our genes control our health,---our thoughts and emotions are what switch on or off our genes! We are in control of ourselves and create our own reality, whether consciously or unconsciously!

So these writings can help us evolve beyond the limited and limiting power-control-demand-sensation-material-competitive survival mode, and help unfold us back into the remembrance of our natural, native multi-dimensional Beingness that we were before we 'descended' into this 3rd dimensional Earth-world of duality/polarity cause-and-effect. Back into self-awakened, total self-empowerment/sovereignty: in order to continue creating within the human form, but now unlimitedly and in a happy state! Human consciousness has ripened/matured and no longer needs to be based on the vibration of opposing charges,---negative and positive ‘energies’ of opposing or colliding ‘energies’ (control, power and duality/polarity), as it no longer serves us. It's now simply all about sharing what we feel we have to offer.

Humans require creativity-excitement (adventuring, discovering, exploring, expanding, expressing and experiencing contrasts,---even if only from our ‘armchair’ if we are aged, as in simply opening a bunch of our spice/seasoning bottles and concentrating smelling their contrasting aromas, eating with chopsticks, experiencing other cultures’ music, food, fabric, art, etc., anything out of our normal, ordinary choices, or ‘playing’ attentively with any other of our senses,---to which we don’t normally deeply pay attention). And if enough stimulation is not consciously chosen, our body-partner and/or our life will go into drama (= excitement!) to satisfy these needs! Pain, illness, depression, psychosis, neurosis, financial or relationship meltdown, hardship, lack, loss, undesired challenges, difficulties, troubles, problems, etc. = drama, ‘needed’ to make us feel alive! This being in drama is also a seductive ‘feeding energy’ distraction we've allowed ourselves to (unconsciously?) fall into, and is what keeps us from being the conscious, deliberate chooser-creators of our desired reality: our passions/delightings. The need is to take different actions to step out of inertia and our spiritless ‘comfort zone’ to create continual change (boredom and inertia kill first our spirit, then us!). This is about our spirit,---and keeping its sparkplug lit from within permanently by ourself, without needing or expecting anything/anyone outside ourself to do this for us, as they are all just temporary! This is self-empowerment. Trusting Self. Rebalancing. Healing. Maturing.

I feel each lifetime was an episode of an adventure-discovery experience (and not the be-all or end-all of it all) of failures, survival, successes, journeying, experimentation, learning lessons and creativity, but now is concerned with awakening our full consciousness and unfolding back into our fuller grandness, as the ‘Game’ of living in constricted/limited 3rd dimensional density of duality/polarity (= ‘illusion construct’ veil of non-remembrance of Who We Really Are) is now ending! And we can choose to give ourself permission to lighten up and not feel so serious! And this ‘magical’ adventure-journeying experience documentation of mine is my small contribution toward this awakening endeavor. Enjoy the possibilities and potentials!

Some ‘Secrets’ to Creating Joy, Happiness and Self Worth

I'm just so excited about having discovered in 2000-2001 some ‘secrets’ to being happy and joy-filled most of the time, I've just got to share them! My dear optimist husband Steve gave me the inspiration for them, but I created them as I went along. Again, up until then, I'd not been a positive or joyful person, but serious, pessimistic and a complainer (which is actually a type of depression, which in turn is a victimhood stance), so these brief techniques I'm sharing have been a turning point for me and my life, and perhaps can be for you. And they are so easy, and also help me stay in the conscious now present moment (not living in or worrying about the past or future). There is only now. So,---

Consciously choosing and giving ourself permission to be in a continuous sincere heartfelt verbally-expressing inviting, welcoming, appreciative, thankful, praising, admiring, excited, enthused, enjoyment-expressing-feelings heart state is one huge key to being joyfully happy. What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life, -Leo Buscaglia. I’ve learned that if I don’t like what or who I am or what I have, already,---exactly the way I am, or things are, I cannot bring in/attract what I truly desire, and therefore I am not actually choosing life! He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have, – Socrates. We simply must unconditionally love ourself (= 100% accepting, allowing, honoring and forgiving absolutely everything about ourself), but if we are not doing this, we can begin that by employing these ‘Secrets.’

I found I had to ask myself the very hard question, do I want to live? Not as a question anymore of just not terminating my life (that I’d ‘played’ with when severely, suicidally, depressed), but now, am I ready to live, REALLY live, or am I just willing to survive, to get along with just enough of whatever to simply get by? Can I really move myself out of that survival level existence and get into REALLY living, enjoying, laughing and feeling? I’ve noticed a lot of people, like I was, are not actively choosing to really live life, but are merely more or less just existing! ‘Living’ lives of perhaps not-so-quiet desperation. There may be some sort of dissatisfaction with their life or with themselves, and perhaps some sort of entitlement feeling, which creates feelings of lack/’what’s missing,’ felt at our core essence (our spirit). And this cannot be satisfied or fulfilled by mere ‘Pleasure Center’ flagellations/distractions, because we’re creators, and when not making conscious choices for ourself, creating our life from our chosen passions, we get stuck (paralyzed?) in a comfort zone (or in complacency after achieving a goal), from not continually making new choices or even maybe taking some risks,---exhilarating risks. Branching out into new directions,---challenging and therefore expanding ourselves!

So, to accomplish this conscious choosing of actively living happily, a technique I used is: when alone, to frequently speak praisingly out loud (there's a whole lot more effectiveness/Life Force Energy in the spoken word) using expressive enthusiasm, lively interest/noticing/focusing attention on, and speaking appreciative words to everything (non-persons at first, as they have no judgments and don’t talk back, and we can feel completely relaxed and safe with them), and especially to ourself, and especially our food; to the Earth/Gaia, the sun, moon, plants, grass, trees, shrubs, cats, dogs, birds, money, nutrients, beauty, harmony, pleasures, floors, doors, clouds, the sky, air, soil, rain, breezes, music, appliances, electronics, the house/apartment, the toilet, toilet paper, bed, utensils, the car/truck/cycle, a/c-heat pump, electricity, hot/cold running water, the toothbrush and toothpaste, shoes, clothes, chairs, couches, tables, lamps, computer, clocks---just everything---as everything has consciousness and is affected by our consciousness, as quantum physicists have proven!

This is about our spirit,---which is not a mystery. Our spirit is our authentic core essence, which we have the ability to shift through simple choice. We can choose to be in an 'up/high' spirit (open, expanded, positive, upbeat, optimistic, forward-looking/forward moving, progressive, proactive, embracing, etc.), a 'neutral' spirit (non-moving, unactivated potential, unlively, barely existing, inert), or a 'down/low' spirit (contracted/closed, negative, downbeat, past-focused, forward-fearing, regressive, pessimistic, reluctant, reactive, resistant, rejecting, depressed, etc.). Raising our spirits, here!

There's a wonderful, beautiful, highly recommended, popular crystal-water photo book, "Messages From Water" by Masaru Emoto (hopefully in libraries) who proved different waters from all over the world had conscious changes in their waters' crystals toward breathtaking beauty when spoken to kindly, compared to the unattractive, misshapen water crystals the water created when spoken to harshly. (And remember, we are made of 70% water!) Our consciousness affects everything and everyone, especially ourself, as our very thoughts, emotions, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors and actions automatically bring back/ATTRACT to us and into our lives the ESSENCE of them--not an exact duplication or replica--that’s why it’s hard to recognize, but it’s always the same ‘vibe’-level essence! We create our own (happy/sad?) reality IN THIS WAY. And I found when we are in resistance to the ‘What Is’ of our life (WE’VE created), by remaining in the contracted, limiting ‘energies’ of the control-power-sensation rather primitive survival mode, we get ‘stuck’ from moving forward with creations we’d truly desire.

We appropriately FEEL things in our emotional ‘body,’ but then we allow our MINDS (mental ‘body’) to interpret our feelings, and usually from perspectives of our survival-mode conditioned programming, opinions and assumptions, belief systems, societal/cultural overlays, patterns, habits, etc., which may no longer serve us, and thus this is then ultimately ‘felt’ in our physical body, manifested and masquerading as dis-orders/dis-ease/’accidents’ (all = drama) etc.,---but which is simply our body-partners’ gift to ourself to help us wake up and become aware that we may not be creating our lives in the ways that serve us/our passions or desires optimally.

So we’ve been giving our empowerment away to our linear-dimensional mind/thinking/analyzing/judging ‘body’ which is non-creative and so cements us in limitations of fear, drama, shame, guilt, blame and non-self-trust, etc. Our mind is like a pre-programmed hard drive, actually very limited, but we’re so much more than that! Our intuitive and gnost (knowing) nature is a quantum leap ahead of our mind. In each of our moments we have an opportunity to expand into the greater reality (where no limits to how intelligence may manifest) outside our limited mind realm (of illusion). Being continuously in thought holds us in the illusion, whereas non-thinking, inner quietude/stillness presents the way out. Peaceful thoughts are still thoughts, still maintaining the illusion. Thought can only encompass knowledge from the past. Thus it’s time to get back into our feeling ‘body,’ our spirit-heart/soul space of 100% unconditional Love ( = 100% forgiveness and allowing-accepting-honoring absolutely everything about ourself and everyone/everything, as all is in Perfection in this rather contracted/limited 3rd dimension)! Unconditioned consciousness is from making our own conscious choices and taking responsibility to align our inner life with our outer life.

There is also a book that was published in the 1970's named, "The Secret Life of Plants" by Bird and Tompkins, that tells of experiments of harsh words or harsh music actively directed toward plants and that their growth was very retarded, misshapen, or they died, and of plants maintained in the same environment but exposed to beautiful melodic music or expressed positive words, and they thrived and flourished. (For many decades quantum physicists have proven consciousness resides in seemingly ‘inanimate’ objects such as rocks, at the quantum level,---waves turning into particles and vice versa when exposed to human consciousness. So this is not new ‘news.’)

We can say heartfelt things out loud and sweetly/gently to everything and to ourself, like for instance: I welcome you into my life; I sure do appreciate you/me for being here and being so reliable/sturdy/loyal/serving/nice/beautiful-looking-acting, etc. 'You' are so welcome in my life; I just love 'you'/me for being here; I wish 'you'/me the highest wellbeing; I am/ 'you' are so wonderful and I admire me/you; I honor, bless and cherish me/you; I hope you're healthy and happy! 'You' make my life so much more enjoyable and easy/efficient; I appreciate me/you so very much; I thank me/you so very much for.....whatever......use your own sincere heartfelt creative feeling words, and thoughts of thankfulness and appreciation with enthusiastic good feelings and smiles along with them. Or we can say these things silently whenever someone is around and we're too shy about saying them aloud in front of them.

The important key is EXPRESSING our positive feelings. If we have to, we can just act AS IF we feel these at first, as I had to, with the only thing I did feel: sincerity. (Just fake it, ---but not the sincerity part if you at first don't have these feelings. But we are ‘enough’ at whatever ‘level’ we are ‘residing’ in.) In the beginning, try to do this most of the time that you can. Repetition, practice and persistence will pay off quickly! Just let it gently purr/flow out, no forcing or pushing. This is welcoming back in the feminine (yes, guys!) nurturing energies of caring, gentleness, giving, calmness, sweetness, intuition, peace and harmony, composure, sensitivity, awake/alert attention, thankfulness, praising, noticing, appreciation, uniting, receiving and giving love and compassion that have been missing for so many millennia!

I daily took some specific time and went outdoors around the house and praised and appreciated out loud with my conscious attention directed to plants, grass, shrubs, fences, vines, trees, lizards, birds, lanai, squirrels, sun, breeze, clouds, sky, our house, roof, walkways, driveway, vehicles, etc., anything I could see, using my outpouring of a thankful heart and generosity of spirit (which just came to me while I was busy appreciating!). We tap into our goodness in this way,---goodness that each and every human possesses somewhere within. Things flourished, and so did I!

I also did it to all sorts of things indoors a lot of the time also at first, and especially to myself. We really must grow/expand to love, forgive, accept, allow, honor, respect, appreciate and even nurture and cherish ourself. We have to do this for ourself. We can give permission to ourself to love ourself,---unconditionally and with total forgiveness and allowing for everything! (Everything,---even our current or past difficulties, troubles, undesired challenges and feelings, pains, hurts and wounds!) Everything is/was appropriate at the time for our consciousness growth, as life is for experiencing, maybe learning some lessons and for enjoying, but not for being perfect! All of us did what we did, felt or thought based on the degree of awareness and limited information we had at the time. So knowing this, we can now give ourself permission to just let go of any guilt feelings, shame, self-disappointment, self discontentment or outright self-hate and loathing by simply slowly breathing deeply and saying out loud, I now release these negative feelings and beliefs about myself on the out-breath, for some time. Often for awhile, until we really feel it is so. It can be that simple. Life no longer needs to be a painful or guilty struggle. Do this conscious deep breathing exercise on many occasions, until you really and truly believe yourself, and feel you have truly released these negative feelings about yourself once and for all.

We can also deep-breathe-release our now unnecessary difficulties, troubles, undesirable challenges, pains, hurts, wounds and disorders, if we are willing and ready to give them up! In this way, we don't feel we always want to run away from ourself and our persistent negative internal mind-talk, by constantly trying to drown it out by the many distraction-diversions of listening to other peoples' stories, others’ music, watching t.v., being on the internet, playing video games or other electronics, reading novels, or constantly chatting on the phone, etc., when we could use the time to make peace within ourself by placing our active, aware attention on expressing buoyant, enthusiastic appreciation for ourself and everything around us and in our lives, actively creating joy and happiness for ourself through our newly-gained heartfelt feelings. Actively creating our lives. Radiating! (Peace needs to be FELT!)

I know cultures/societies teach doing for others and not for ourself-or-else we'd be seen as selfish, but we just burn out trying to be this way, don't genuinely, honestly really feel like it (so can’t really be authentic), and end up being useless to others and to ourselves. It just does not work that way. But if we love ourself first and take care of ourself first, then we free ourself up to go and ‘be’ and ‘do’ for others if we so choose (but being careful just to share ourself and not give ourself/our empowerment away).

BEING AUTHENTIC

When one has not put self first,

But sometimes instead has self-cursed,

One
