Speaker 1 – Host:

Hi, this is Sugandhii Iyer for The Good Fortune Show. How are you doing?

You know how, when we have a fear, not a very important fear, I would say, but something borderline important? For example, I might accidentally call this the Joyful Manifestation Show when it is actually The Good Fortune Show. These are the small things, like, what if we make a mistake in saying something and call something something else?

This is the kind of fear that hosts of shows have. What if we misspeak? What if the wrong word comes out of our mouth? Wrong timing, wrong thing, wrong place, that kind of thing.

I want to say that I do not really have this fear because I have no fear of talking or speaking, even in public forums. I have no fear at all. But there can be an inkling, just one tiny little grain of sand where you feel, “What if I mess up?” But then I know I can just continue even if I mess up.

A lot of people are held in their positions and do not want to take a step forward because they are scared. They wonder, “What if this happens? What if that happens?”

I had a friend from a very long time ago in school. They had a beauty competition, and she went on stage to be judged. As she was climbing the step, just one or two steps, she tripped and fell down. She was so unhappy about it later on that she actually started crying.

This happens to people sometimes. It may not be the right place or the right time, and people go through one of their blunders. So today we want to say that we have to take all of these fears, put them in some imaginary bag, and dispose of them. Dispose of them because it really does not matter.

Ultimately, she went on to marry a really rich guy. He was not super rich when she met him, so it was love, but later on he became really rich and one of the famous movie stars over here. He is extremely rich, so she did well for herself.

Of course, that does not mean if somebody gets a guy who is not rich, then they are not doing well for themselves. But she did well for herself later on.

We cannot let these blunders stop us. Just the fear of failure, correct? Fear of failure. People become frozen in their positions and do not want to take a step forward because they are afraid they might take a step into the wrong place, the wrong time, or the wrong whatever.

But see, this girl fell in front of everybody. The whole school literally watched her fall, and she was the only one who tripped that day. That was even worse. If a few people trip along with you, it is not so bad. You can say, “Oh, I tripped, but five or ten other people tripped too, so I just blended into the crowd.” But no, she was the only person who tripped that day. She was crying, and here I am laughing at her crying. But I am saying that she later went on to marry somebody who became one of the most famous movie stars and is adored all around the world. She did really well for herself after that.

Basically, we are trying to say, do not be afraid that you are going to mess up. Do not be afraid because you do not know what is waiting for you around the corner. It could be great victory. It could be something amazing, something you always wanted in your life. A few blunders here and there are not going to dictate the rest of your life.

Honestly, her husband is one of the richest actors here. We divide them as actors. They make a lot of money, but they do not make as much money as businesspeople. Businesspeople make money in the billions. Actors here make money in the millions. But still, one of the richest actors is not bad. He is extremely good-looking and appreciated for his work, and she did well for herself later on.

So we cannot allow some blunders to stop us.

Now, how does this connect to America? Two hundred and fifty years. Wow. It is exactly 250 years since the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. I am reading this out, and I have to be frank with you, this point in line to my own audience. It is different if I say something by mistake because I believe something to be true and say it, but it is not the truth. That is different. But I do not want to deliberately lie to you.

So I am reading this out here: the United States celebrates its semiquincentennial, its 250th anniversary of independence, marking exactly 250 years since the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Semiquincentennial. I am going to spell it: S-E-M-I-Q-U-I-N, semi-quin, C-E-N-T-E-N-N-I-A-L, centennial. Semiquincentennial. I am going to be honest again and say I do not know how to pronounce this at all.

What we are trying to say is that we do not want to be scared of the future. We do not want to be scared of making it big or succeeding. That is a fear people hold. They are afraid they are going to mess up on the way, and I am telling you, it is okay to mess up. It is okay. It is completely okay because there might be something waiting for you.

I am not saying that what is waiting for somebody is connected to the mess-up, but one day a person messes up, and that does not mean that person will mess up forever. People can go ahead and become really, really successful.

If the United States of America had constantly thought, “Oh my God, what if I mess up? What if I mess up?” If the people of America had kept being scared, they would not have gone forward. It is one of the most successful countries in the world. Wow. Is that not amazing when you think about it?

The USA is one of the most successful countries in the world. I am not sure if I can say it is the only one. I would have to do more reading to find out, but it is one of the most successful countries in the world. Two hundred and fifty years. Wow. That is a lot.

It is going to be the Fourth of July soon for people in America. Here, it is already the Fourth of July. So I want to wish you all a very heartfelt happy Fourth of July. Do not forget to watch the fireworks in the sky. Do not forget to go there and enjoy your personal independence.

A person’s personal independence matters because a country can be very successful, and this is where we tie into the success of the United States of America. We say, “Look, the country I come from is extremely successful, and so I am successful just by being connected to this country.” Even if it is just one little tiny string connecting you to the United States of America, we can make the success of the United States of America our own success.

What odds did the people face when they first landed there? How many odds did they face? They had to start everything from scratch. No, we are not going into what happened to the Native Americans, and we do feel bad for them, but we do not want to go there right now because this is not that show. This is the show where we are celebrating success and saying, “Wow, how successful is the United States of America?”

If the United States of America is successful for itself, then it is going to be successful for everybody who lives in it. It is not that the United States of America is successful and that success is over there while the people in the USA do not become successful at all. It is not like that. The whole thing is connected with each other.

Though I have often said that we need to take care of our personal success if the country is not doing well. If the country is going through something or not doing well, our personal success comes first. I know I have declared this like a declaration several times, that we need to keep our personal independence. If the country is going through ups and downs, we should not connect with that. We should take our own energy, our own universe, and build that for ourselves, not be connected with the country in that way.

But yes, if the country is doing really, really well, there is so much pride in saying, “I am a citizen of the United States of America.” It has done really well for itself. Which country can boast of such roads and the way people are taken care of? We have to think of the good stuff here.

Of course, there are a few other countries that have done well in infrastructure and so on, but the amount of power the United States of America has and holds is really amazing. This is where we stand tall and say, “Look, I am a citizen of the United States of America. I am very proud because the people who came here to put this country together were so fearless. They did not shirk. They did not hesitate to go ahead on the path of success.” Even if they experienced a few failures, that did not deter them. That did not make them stop walking ahead toward their success.

Having said this, I hope you have a fantastic Fourth of July. Watch the fireworks. If you have a loved one, spend time with them because you want to chalk in as many family-time hours as you can. It really helps with the amount of united family energy we have going.

Family energy is also a kind of energy. You say, “I spend so many hours with my family,” and we chalk up these hours so that one day it becomes such a huge energy that it will carry us in its arms.

Why do you think I am here in India? Why would I leave my cushy Las Vegas life behind me? It is family. It is family energy. I was super in Las Vegas, having a really great time, but I have been here for the last few years. Of course, we may all just move somewhere soon. Already, I spend six to seven months in one country and the rest in another country. It is family energy that I was after. Where can I get that? Right here in India.

That is one major reason. Plus, I missed the ancient architecture of the temples, the beautiful statues, the gorgeous structures, and each temple has a fantastic fragrance because they have been lighting incense for years and years. Some of these temples here are centuries old, and they have been lighting incense for years. They are carved out of stone, and those temples hold the energy in them. They have this fragrance going, and you go in and take a breath, and it smells so good.

Then there are the elephants, the monkeys, and the peacocks. Where else can I find an elephant bathing in a river while we go by in a train? These are things I wanted to reconnect to. Who would give up their cushy Las Vegas life? Trust me when I say I had a cushy life. A completely cushy life. Fantastic shows, fantastic people, fantastic everything. Literally the world’s most beautiful people. You get to see the world’s most beautiful performances. Wow. I think I have to head back to Las Vegas. It is just so wow. The wow factor is enormous.

We are really saying that we have to be proud of our country and proud of the fact that so many people in the world want to come to the United States of India. The United States of India, what am I saying? I just gave them America.

Here is the thing. If too many people want to come to a particular country, it is a lot of work managing everybody. People in the United States do not really want that to happen too much. But on the other hand, it is a point of pride, like, wow, everybody wants to come here. So I live in the most successful country in the world. That is something to be proud of.

I did say something last time, and I think maybe people misunderstood. I was talking about the law of attraction having ultimate control and ultimate say in what happens. But then I also said that we are the ones who have the ultimate say in what happens. How can both sides have the ultimate say?

It is because they actually do. The law of attraction, by virtue of how it works, has the ultimate say because if it finds a vibration that is dominating, it is going to bring back what it wants to match that vibration. In that, it has the ultimate say. We have no say in that.

What we have a say in is the vibration that we release and give out. That we can control. The law of attraction cannot tell us, “You have to vibe this energy.” No, we control that. Since we control what we vibe and deliberately put out the right vibration, then the law of attraction is forced to listen to that vibration. It will look at that vibration, listen to it, or whatever it does, who knows, and it will match it.

In a way, both the law of attraction and we have an ultimate say in what really happens to us. We have the ultimate say in what we are vibing. The law of attraction has the ultimate say in what it brings to us. Once you understand this, you understand that where you have control is in what you are vibing toward the universe. Once you have released that vibration into space, then the law of attraction is going to match it.

I was doing a search for my show. I wanted to go online and listen to my own show. So I went to the BBS Radio page and put in The Joyful Manifestation Show, BBS Radio, and it took me to the page where I could listen to my show in case I had made some blunders. I enjoy listening to my show after that. So I did that, and the Google page threw up things that AI had written. AI threw up something that said The Joyful Manifestation Show and The Good Fortune Show are very acclaimed shows. I said, “What? Really? I did not know that.”

Who knows? It matched something. The law of attraction matched something in my vibrations and brought forward this particular thing. It is a well-acclaimed show. Honestly, I do not know if it is or is not. I am not even going there. But there is some vibration, which I may not know I am giving out, that brought these words to me. Obviously, after that, I am going to be happy about it.

So now we want to take a break. We are approaching the halfway time. We can break for a couple of minutes, listen to some music, and then I am hoping you are going to be there when I come back soon. So do not go away. Hold on tight.

Hi, this is Sugandhii Iyer for The Good Fortune Show. How are you doing?

Do you know that manifestation works really, really quickly? We went to visit some relatives, and while we were visiting them, we stayed in a hotel, though they kept inviting us to stay in their home. Maybe next time we go.

We were staying in a hotel, and suddenly it came to my mind: I saw my aunt giving me money. I saw her giving me money in my mind’s eye. I did not give it much importance. I left it, and we went there. She gave me a stack of notes. Literally, she handed it over and said, “This is for you.” She gave me a stack of notes, the highest denomination notes in this country.

Wow. It was not that I wished for it. I did not really need it. It just came to me.

What would be the affirmation we would have for this? Money comes to me all the time. Money comes to me all the time. This is how you make an affirmation. Money comes to me all the time.

Affirmations do not have to be very complicated. They can be very simple sentences. Money comes to me all the time.

Now what happens? My aunt gave me the stack of notes, and my consciousness registers it. My belief system gets strengthened that money comes to me all the time. Once I have said this, the source can be something else or the source can be anything. It was my aunt giving me money this time. She has a lot of affection. She thinks of me as the baby. So she gives me money. Yay, let us give money to the baby. We are babies for the adults in our family.

Once she gave me those notes, I registered money just coming in out of the blue. My consciousness registers it. My awareness registers it. Then it becomes part of my energy system. Now I can easily affirm, “Money comes to me all the time,” with the affirmation voice.

There is a certain tone you have when you are making affirmations. There is a certain tone, like the way teachers, guides, coaches, or groups speak. They slow down their speech. They do not say something like, “Money comes to me all the time! Money comes to me all the time!” That is not how we talk, and you must have got scared right now. I really apologize.

That is not the affirmation voice. The voice for affirmation is more gentle and blending with your energy. Money comes to me all the time.

Again, I apologize for scaring you. People do not understand that our energy, the way we talk, and the way we react to things are all important. When I spoke in that high kind of voice, it was like an attacking voice, loud and unpleasant. Affirmations have to be much gentler, and you can make your affirmations for yourself.

Maybe it is something you noticed in your life. For example, people always give the example of parking lots. “I found this parking lot in a place where there was none, and angels helped me find a parking spot.” That is a very well-known example, especially in the USA, when people say, “I needed a parking spot, and I got one.”

So the affirmation could be, “My angels always help me find a parking spot on time.” My angels always help me find a parking spot on time.

See what I am saying? There are different voices for affirmations, and you can turn almost anything into an affirmation. Once we notice something, it does not even have to happen 10 or 20 times. It can happen just once. If you notice that you always get a good parking spot wherever you need it, even when it is completely crowded, but a parking spot magically opens up for you, then that can become an affirmation.

It is these small things that add up to make a big thing, like every drop of water in the ocean adds up to become the ocean. All of these small magical things that happen, when we realize them and notice them, become affirmations for us.

Now somehow, magically, the affirmation would be, “I always get a convenient parking spot wherever I go.” I always get a convenient parking spot wherever I go.

It could have happened just once, and we make an affirmation out of it. Then it can keep happening all the time.

Just think about it. We are all manifestation machines here. Manifestation machines. The only thing we are doing, okay, it is kind of unattractive, but think of yourself as a candy dispenser machine. They come, put the money in the slot, and it dispenses candy. We are all these machines that dispense money, parking spots, jobs for us to work in, snacks from the machines with little packets of chips, amazing restaurants, and so on.

We are all very good at manifesting, and that is what we need to believe. I am a great manifester. I am a great manifester. See this affirmation? I am a great manifester. Whatever I want comes to me easily. Whatever I want comes to me easily.

Imagine that you could generate the best life you always wanted just by following some simple guidelines and by getting into joyful manifestation energy. Last time, we talked about how there are so many energy streams, and joyful manifestation is one of the energy streams. It is not the whole part because there are so many energy streams, and many people are following many energy streams.

By that, I mean there are some people busy listening to news of the war, scanning the pages, whether on the phone, in a real newspaper, on TV, or on a laptop, scanning all of this for some news about the war. Then there are people scanning news about medical research. There are people scanning fashion, industry, interior decoration. Whatever people are scanning, they are busy bringing that into their lives. They are busy bringing that into their lives, and their auras get strengthened and strengthened with that.

Is it really necessary for people to be scanning news that is not going to help? Or is it better for people to scan things that are going to help?

Even if you have a couple of nice things happen to you in a day, you can easily make that into an affirmation. You know for yourself that it is a possibility. We do not care about anybody else. Things happen well for us. That is an affirmation. Things happen well for us. Things happen in a good way for us.

I am so lucky that good things happen to me all the time. I am so lucky that good things happen to me all the time. I am lucky that I am able to make so much money. I am lucky that I am able to make so much money.

Now, it may be that somebody really does not believe that he is making enough money, but it is all in the mindset. It is all in the mind. What do you think of as enough money or good money? Maybe somebody is making $2,000 a month, and maybe she does not feel happy about it. Let us make it fictitious Jane. She makes $2,000 a month, and she knows that practically speaking, $2,000 is not a huge amount if you want to live a very good life.

But what if she felt for some time that this is a good amount? Are we losing anything? No, because we are only saying that it is a good amount for a limited period of time because we are starting to make more. We will start to make more. Once we think that the money we are making is a good amount, we will start to make more money.

It is not that the universe says, “Okay, she thinks $2,000 is a good amount. Let us leave her at $2,000.” The universe will not do that. It is responding to your vibrations. If your vibrations are saying, “I make so much money. Wow, I make so much money,” the universe basically says, “She says she is making a lot of money. Okay, let us push money at her.”

There you go. It pushes money. Here money, there money, money everywhere. She will take some more, you take some more, you take some more, because of the vibrations that a person is flowing. It thinks, not actually thinking, but for the sake of English, it thinks this person is making a lot of money, so it pushes more money at this person.

Whatever the law of attraction sees is happening with its own invisible eyes, it is going to push more of it. That is why they say we need to be careful about what vibrations we are giving out. That is the only thing we can control. We cannot control anything else, but we can control the vibrations we deliberately give out.

Deliberately give out the vibrations that you would want to have returned to you.

Just think about it. We are all controllers, not control freaks, but we can have control over our universe. There is nothing wrong with having control over our universe and using all the tools the universe gives to make ourselves stronger in our auras. There is nothing wrong with being successful.

Here is an affirmation: I am successful and I am proud of it. I am successful and I am proud of it.

At first I was going to say, “I am successful and I do not feel guilty about it.” But I think a better way to frame this affirmation would be, “I am successful and I am proud of it.” This becomes part of our energy system. Now what happens? We are flowing this energy that we are successful and proud of it, and the universe has no choice in the sense that it will return things that match that. You are successful and you are proud of it.

Little by little, or in big giant leaps, one changes one’s atmosphere and background and comes out into the light. In this place, there is well-being flowing a lot.

I am going to read from my book. It is a paragraph, and I am going to say this to empower yourself:

“Become steady and strong with the knowledge that what you want is happening and will happen. For example, if there is a man you like who keeps on behaving in the same odd way toward you, you have to become empowered to rise over the feelings he can generate in you with his behavior. When you feel empowered to be happy with or without him, you will have the ability to make or allow the external changes required to have things work to your advantage. It is most often the feeling of helplessness in a situation that is the most frustrating and disempowering. When you stop feeling helpless and start feeling capable of correct thoughts and actions, you have already won. Empower yourself and rise above situations.”

That is a paragraph from my book. I have to read my book because I forget what is in it.

This paragraph says that if there is a man who always makes fictitious Jane feel unwanted, she has to rise above the feeling of being unwanted. She can do it in the many ways given in the book. She has to rise above the feeling of being unwanted and not have severe reactions to that.

Once she rises above this negative feeling of being unwanted, then what she wants will happen. It has to happen because she would have risen above it, not in a way where she is rejecting the guy, like, “I hate this guy. I am rising above it, but I really hate this guy.” Not in that way.

It is more like, “I understand that for the time being, he is displaying or making me believe that I am not wanted, but it is not the truth. Hence, I rise above it and I feel good that in either situation, either way, I am fine.”

When somebody is behaving in a way that makes one believe they are not wanted, it is not the truth. It is like a drama, a play, a scene in a drama where somebody makes someone else feel unwanted. That person says things or does things that convince another person that he or she is not wanted. But actually, that is not the truth. It is a game. It is a play. It is a drama. Somebody has written a very bad script.

The script is bad, and it is making people believe they are not wanted, but it is not the truth. It is not the truth at all. It is as if somebody sat down and wrote the words to a very bad play. All the people are actors, and they are enacting the script.

When you see something negative, the first thing that should come to your mind is, “This is not the truth.” It is not the truth.

You know how you find some people saying, “This cannot be happening to me. I do not believe it. I do not believe that this is happening to me.” Exactly right. Do not believe it. Do not believe it. It is all false. It is all lies. It is as if somebody sat down and wrote the words to a very bad script. Because of that, all the actors who are part of your life are really actors, and they are enacting the script.

I hope the English is right. I am not sure.

It is like somebody with a strange sense of humor, or somebody who just wants to make somebody feel bad, is writing the script to make fictitious Jane feel bad. But if fictitious Jane can rise above it and see through it, literally see through it, shake her head and say, “This is not happening to me. This is not my life. There is no way that fictitious John is not in love with me. I am sure he loves me. This is a very bad play, and I do not believe it,” then this belief helps.

I have said it before: we need to doubt the negative. Most people often doubt the positive. When something good happens, they say, “I do not believe it. Wow, I do not believe it.” But when it comes to the negative, it is like, “Yes, of course. I knew it would always happen.” No. All our doubts should go toward the negative.

When people say, “I cannot believe this is happening,” it is exactly like that. Only they do not understand that somebody put his or her pen to paper and wrote a very bad script, and fictitious John is just acting.

Once you realize, “Oh my God, what I am hearing is not the truth. What I am seeing is not the truth,” and you are able to be neutral and let go of that, then another day, fictitious John will be absolutely adoring and sweet, even cute and wonderful and playful. He would be showering praise, being friendly and communicative. He would start to communicate properly.

Communication is a key factor. Why does this happen? Because negative reactions to the situation have stopped. So the law of attraction does not need to bring more of the old negative script to fictitious Jane. The law of attraction will bring forward a fantastic script to fictitious Jane, not for fictitious Jane to read out exactly, but something she wants to hear from fictitious John.

A lot of it is like the boogeyman in the dark. There are shadows, and the child is scared to sleep alone. The child starts to think there is a monster behind the curtain, a monster in the cupboard, and a monster under the bed. I remember, I do not know how many years ago, that once or twice I opened the cupboard to see that nobody was there or nothing was there. A clothes cupboard. Ah, it is fine. Long time ago. I hope there is nothing hiding in this cupboard, and I opened it. No, clothes. Then I felt good.

Once we understand that there is this script being written, and it is not the kind of script we want for ourselves, we are going to feel good and we can manifest well. Once there is no reaction, the universe is forced to bring back the words that we actually want to hear, see, and see happen to us.

I am looking for this:

“When you move away from your personality fears and move toward your true self, you will reach a space of inner power. When you move away from your personality fears and move toward your real, true self, you will reach a space of inner power. As your inner psychological world starts changing, it directly affects your external world.”

When I am reading this, I have an example that happened this morning. I wanted to go around 6 a.m. and drive to the bank with my mom to deposit some money. Not all ATMs have the deposit feature. This particular ATM has it. Most ATMs allow you to withdraw money, not deposit it, but this one has that ability.

So we drove there at 6 o’clock in the morning. There was hardly any traffic, and it was a wonderful drive. That is why I was trying to avoid the traffic. We drove to the bank, and as usual, there was a dog sitting there. I have seen this dog before, and it sits just outside the door of the ATM as if it belongs there. It is a stray dog. I wish India would clear out its stray dogs. I do not mean that in a bad way, but find an alternative that is very healing and good for the dogs. They should not be wandering around like this.

I refused to go in, and neither did my mom tell me to do that. We could not deposit any money because this dog was sitting there. How do I know what mood it is in? It is a stray dog.

So when it says, “When you move away from your personality fears and move toward your true self, you will reach a space of inner power,” I am not talking about inner power from doing things that are unsafe. We want people to be safe, not obsessive-compulsive, but as safe as possible. We are not trying to tell people to throw caution to the wind.

There could have been many more Indians who would not have minded the stray dog and would have just walked past it. But the stray dog hardly gives you two feet of space to walk past it. I am not taking that risk.

That is not the fear I am talking about. That is caution, and I am not ready to throw caution to the wind. We went away and could not deposit the money. We will go there at 10 o’clock, drive through the traffic, and the bank will be open. The security guard will be there and all of that.

So yes, we have to go around 10 o’clock just to deposit this money. This is called making the whole process of depositing money extra, right? What to do?

But what I am trying to say is that when you move away from your personality fears and move toward your true self, you will reach a space of inner power. I am not talking about inner power from doing things that are scary or unsafe or from taking unnecessary risks. We do not want to encourage that.

As your inner psychological world starts changing, it directly affects your external world. From the inner to the outer does energy flow. Energy is now fruitfully spent correcting one’s own inner world and seeing the external world change as a result.

Basically, I am saying, since I wrote the book, that if you change your inner world, the external world will change. That is actually what we need to do. But again, this does not mean that if there is a physical fear or physical danger outside, we throw caution to the wind. We are not telling people to take risks. We want people to be safe and to have great outcomes from whatever they are doing.

In most cases, where there is not a physical danger, we can change our inner world to have the external world change.

Maybe because of my reaction to the dog and not wanting to go deposit money, now I will have to go at 10 a.m. and deposit money. The traffic is so bad at that point, but we will have to do that just because the country could not take care of its stray dogs. I have to put in all this extra energy and extra work to just deposit money instead of making the whole thing easy for us. It just made it harder for us. There is a waste of fuel, a waste of time, and so many people driving.

Penny wise, pound foolish. That is what a country is doing when it is not going to take care of its stray dogs.

As a result of this, we have to develop a strong immune system. Just like your body has an immune system that fights invaders, your mind has to have its own immune system. The mind also needs its own immune system, and we can go more into this next show.

I got my warning that we are coming up on time. We will meet again for The Good Fortune Show next Friday at 7 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Until then, I want to wish you a fantastic week and a fantastic rest of the day.

This is Sugandhii Iyer signing off with The Good Fortune Show.
