“Where’s my five million dollars?”
“Did you lose five million dollars?”
“No, I’ve been trying to attract it.”
“Where do you think it is?”
“It isn’t here so it must be with you and all the other rich people.”
“What are you doing to attract the money?”
“I’m visualizing it like you and others teach.”
“That’s a nice start. But what are you doing to attract it?”
“I just want to attract it.”
“But how do you expect it to come to you if you don’t actually do something to attract it?”
“I figured it would just show up at my door but so far, nothing!”
“What does it mean that you haven’t attracted that five million dollars yet?”
“It means all of this Law of Attraction stuff is BS!”
“Ah! There it is!”
“There WHAT is?”
“You said ‘It means all of this Law of Attraction stuff is BS’ which is the belief that attracted your not attracting it.”
“Give me a break!”
“You get what you believe. As I keep saying, the meaning you give an event is the belief that attracted it. You admit that you believe this Law of Attraction stuff is BS, so you attracted a reality to prove your belief.”
“But you’re saying if I believed it, I’d attract it!”
“Exactly.”
“But that isn’t true!”
“It isn’t a true belief for you, so it isn’t a true reality for you.”
“You’re making my head swim!”
“I don’t mean to. I understand, though. I used to think like you.”
“How did you change your thinking?”
“By starting with the small stuff to build my muscle of belief. I looked at my life and realized I was creating lack, so I figured I must be a good creator of my own reality but just needed to aim higher.”
“That’s it?”
“It’s easier said than done but you can start today.”
“How?”
“Maybe read my book on the subject — relax, it’s free — called Attract Money Now.”
“That’ll bring me five million dollars?”
“You’ll meet it part way. You still have to take action, act on your intuition and the opportunities you see, and take it one step at a time, but where will you be if you keep doing what you’ve been doing?”
“Complaining, I guess.”
“And what will that get you?”
“More to complain about?”
“See? You’re already learning.”

“I’m not a fan of your books.”
“I’m not a fan of your saying that.”
“But your books don’t jell with my experience.”
“Of course they don’t. Your experience is based on your beliefs, and your beliefs don’t match my beliefs, so you naturally can’t be a fan of what you don’t believe.”
“Huh?”
“Look. Your life has been one of struggle. So when you look around, you don’t see positive things. But you are looking around through a brain filter of limiting beliefs, and those beliefs are giving you the life experience of struggle you have.”
“See? You don’t make any sense!”
“Well, if you believed in positive thinking and positive doing, and began to see the positive in what’s already around you, you would attract more positive experiences, and then you would agree with my positive teachings.”
“But that’s not my experience!”
“Exactly. Your current beliefs are attracting your current experiences. You’ll get the same thing in the future as you have in the past until you change your beliefs.”
“You’re not in touch with reality!”
“I’m not in touch with your reality. But I was once. I used to think in terms of struggle, lack, limitation and victimhood. But I spent a lot of time, money and energy to retrain my brain, so today I see and experience miracles.”
“But even if that were true, how do I change my beliefs?”
“The first step is being open to a new view of reality.”
“I’m not sure I can do that.”
“That’s a belief, you know.”
“It is?”
“Yep.”
“Then how do I become aware of my beliefs, since I don’t seem to know what they are?”
“By looking at what you have and asking, ‘What might I believe to attract that into my life?'”
“Will your books help me with that?”
“You mean you haven’t actually read them?”
“I flipped through them.”
“Yes, start with my books.”
“Which one?”
“The one you are resisting reading.”

PS – Of course, the faster way to see and change your beliefs is with a trained objective person. Maybe see Miracles Coaching.
Last week I filmed my 89-year old father sharing the two minute prayer he says every morning. I was stunned to see it is similar to the prayer I say every night. The theme is gratitude. May it inspire you to give thanks daily, too.
“Affirmations don’t work for me.”
“That’s an affirmation, you know.”
“Huh?”
“Affirmations are anything you affirm as true,” I explained. “You can affirm something positive or something negative.”
“Say what?”
“You said ‘Affirmations don’t work for me’ which is an affirmation that affirmations don’t work for you.”
“I don’t follow.”
“You get what you believe and expect,” I explained. “If you believe affirmations won’t work for you, then you will get the experience of affirmations not working for you.”
“But they really don’t work for me!”
“I know. That’s because you are affirming that they don’t work.”
“You’re confusing me!”
“Look, the meaning you give an event is the belief that attracted it. If you feel affirmations don’t work, then you are attracting experiences to prove that affirmations don’t work. If you switched it, you could attract proof that affirmations do work.”
“But how would I do that when my mind says they don’t work?”
“That’s simply what you currently believe,” I went on. “It’s your current habit of thinking. But you can begin a new habit by beginning a new thought process today.”
“It’s that easy?”
“It’s simple but maybe not easy,” I said. “But you can begin right now.”
“Affirmations do work?”
“That’s a start.”

Jimbo Berkey bought one copy of my new album, Reflection, and then went back and grabbed 5 more copies.
Five more?
I asked him why.
He said —
“After putting Dr. Joe’s ‘Reflection’ disk
into the car player my search for music that
would lift me up and put a smile on my face
was over. With world class instrumental music
in the background playing toe-tapping tunes,
I can hear words that will make me a better
person as they seep from my conscious mind
into my unconscious mind and help me to keep
my thoughts on the ‘right’ side of the
universe all day long.“I quickly ordered five more copies . . .
why five? Well, my original copy is the one
I will wear out in my car cd player, and
three of the five copies I will gift to
friends that I think have an enlightened
spirit and will recognize them for the
treasure that they are . . . and the
other two? I will keep them in their
original wrapping in a special place
with my rare coins and original
Humphrey Bogart/Lauren Bacall movie
poster because I am convinced that one
day these copies of Dr. Joe’s ‘Reflection’
will be valuable far beyond their cost.”
Apparently this new album is connecting with people of all ages.
Arames Castro is an 18 year old who listened to it and said —
“I’m sure you can imagine the excitement and
anticipation I began to feel as I realized
this is exactly what I’d been searching for.
I like to think of listening to it as “comfort
food for the soul.” My current favorite track
is ‘Reflection.’ The lyrics especially are
freakin’ awesome!”
And Rabbi Neil Schuman said —
“I find your music an uplifting review of
your teachings.”
And publisher Victoria Belue Schaefer said —
“What an amazing new CD you’ve created!
“It has shades of David Byrne and Brian Eno,
to me, which I’m wondering if was intentional
because Eno was quoted in the beautifully
produced CD booklet.“The powerful lyrics and modern jazzy-inspired
melodies blew me away.“The songs Love, Believe and Merlin are great,
but the song Remember was phenomenal! I’ve never
heard positive affirmations to music like that.
Wow! Wow! Wow!“And what about the song Do? Good grief. Rock monster
with nothing but empowering lyrics. We all need to
play this on a loop when we want to get – and stay
motivated.“I do believe you have created a new genre of music.”
I love all this positive feedback, of course.
But you need to decide for yourself how much you love the music and which songs are your favorite.
You can hear samples of all the tracks and grab the CD (which comes with a collectible, limited edition booklet, and with a surprise gift) over at http://www.ReflectionCD.com
Go see (and listen).
Enjoy!
Ao Akua,
Joe
