Part 36 of 45 · Chapter 37 · 9 min 43 sec

You’ve done the inner work. You know you’re more than your thoughts. You’ve read the books on consciousness, sat through the meditations, journaled about your soul’s purpose. You can probably explain the difference between ego and Self to anyone who asks.

And yet, when the bank balance dips or a client says no, something in you still flinches like it’s personal. Like your worth dipped with the number. That’s the gap this chapter sits inside — the space between knowing you have a soul and actually living as one with a body, not the other way around.

It’s not you. It’s not that you didn’t understand it the first 50 times you heard it. The truth is, this teaching needs to be heard from a hundred angles before the body finally agrees with what the mind already knows. Most of what you’ve absorbed was framed as concept. This chapter frames it as instruction — what to do tomorrow morning, how to listen, where the signal actually lives in your day.

Here’s the fresh angle David offers: your soul talks to you through feelings and intuition, but some thoughts and emotions dress up as feelings to fool you. They wear the costume. The skill isn’t believing every inner voice — it’s learning to tell the real signal from the impersonator. That’s a craft. And like any craft, it gets sharper with practice, not with another book.

This is also the chapter where David lands the “I am” teaching in a way that’s hard to unhear. Whatever follows those two words, the universe takes literally. If something still isn’t clicking in how you talk to yourself, this is the doorway in.

What this chapter unlocks

  • Why your soul speaks through feelings and intuition — and the warning David gives about thoughts and emotions that disguise themselves as intuition. Stillness is how you tell them apart.
  • The “I am” practice — David’s clearest teaching on why the universe answers whatever you place after those two words, and why present tense beats future tense every time.
  • The bulb-and-lily reframe from James Allen — how to look at people, civilization, and your own unfinished life as perfect-but-incomplete instead of broken. This single shift changes whether your mind expands or contracts.
  • Why suppressed desires turn into depression — and what to do with the desires you’ve been quietly pushing down because they felt too big, too greedy, or too much.
  • The roller coaster story — David’s illustration that experience lives inside you, not in the event. Two people, same ride, two different lives. The implication for how you meet a slow sales month is enormous.

The 30-second test

Listen to the first 30 seconds. If the line “you are a soul with a body, not a body with a soul” lands in your chest and not just your head — if some quiet part of you exhales when you hear it — this is your chapter. That small exhale is the signal. It means your system has been waiting for permission to lead from the deeper place again.

Why this chapter matters in the series

This is the third and most practical of the Self chapters. Where the earlier two named what the Self is, this one hands you the daily tools — meditation, the “I am” statements, listening to intuition, treating mind, body, and spirit as one system. It bridges the inner work of the last few chapters into the practical chapters coming up on health, energy, and daily practice. Think of this as the chapter where the philosophy finally becomes a Tuesday morning.

intuition mind body and spirit are all connected one way to think of it is to see the mind as the subtlest part of the body body and the body is the most solid part of the Mind by living in this knowledge by treating mind body and spirit with equal importance care and attention you grow fastest and get wealthy fastest the root of a bulb which shall produce a white lily is an unsightly thing one might look upon it with disgust but how foolish we should be to condemn the bulb for its appearance when we know the Lily is within it the root is perfect after its kind it is a perfect but complete Lily so

we must learn to look upon every man and woman o matter how unlovely in outward no matter how unlovely in outward manifestation they are perfect in their stage of being and they are becoming complete behold it is all very good it will make an immense difference with your faith and spirit whether you look upon civilization as a good thing which is becoming better or as a bad and evil thing which is decaying one Viewpoint gives you an advancing and expanding mind and the other gives you a descending and decreasing mind one Viewpoint will make you grow greater and the other will inevitably cause you to grow smaller one will enable you to work for the

Eternal things to do large Works in a great way toward the completing of all that is incomplete and in harmonious and the other will make you a mere Patchwork reformer working almost without hope to save a few lost souls from what you will grow to consider a lost and doomed world so you see it makes a vast difference to you this m atter of the social Viewpoint all’s matter of the social Viewpoint all’s right with the world nothing can possibly be wrong but my personal attitude and I will make that right I will see the facts of Nature and all the vents circumstances and conditions of events circumstances and conditions of society politics government and

Industry from the highest Viewpoint it is all perfect though incomplete it is all the handiwork of God behold it is all very good James Allen how do you start doing all these things just start doing them now it is that simple just do it now your truth is always truest to you truth is personal and Ever Changing even though you should surround yourself with experts advisers and good books always follow what Rings true to you do not follow external sources blindly check them with yourself The Source always talks to all of us through all forms of internal and external communication always in all ways it is us who shut out that communication start paying attention

to the movies you watch the TV shows you see the magazines you read the people you talk to the events of life that you watch and the intuition you have all these and many more carry messages for your advancement messages from The Source simply be open and willing act as if you are already wealthy for you are there are no real limits other than those you set on yourself become Unstoppable by refusing stop it’s a little like wrestling a gorilla you don’t quit when you’re tired you quit when the gorilla is tired Robert Strauss you have more potential in you than you can possibly use up in an entire lifetime or even in several life

times stop making up excuses and believing in limits by our inherent nature we have Limitless potential and abilities I can’t does not exist it is an illusion nothing outside of yourself can hold you back what is holding you then your soul is that part of you that is closest to God the source your soul speaks to your mind through feelings and intuition listen to your feelings and intuition honor them over any conflicting thoughts and emotions be careful though because some thought and emotions camouflage themselves as feelings but be still and you can distinguish between them the desires that you suppress become depressions and that leads to even worse it can sometimes lead to unhealthy ways

to fulfill those suppressed desires express your desires and you create life and joy persist in following your feelings and intuition they are your closest Communications with the source you are a soul with a body not a body with a soul see this clearly and live your life at all times with this in mind and your power increases I am this is your new way of making statements I am the universe absolutely listens to whatever you place after the phrase I am you need nothing outside of yourself to be wealthy Freedom it is your nature keep it and express it allow others to keep and express their freedom stop choosing what has been chosen for you

by others and start choosing your own meditate every day even for just 15 minutes twice a day this connects you with the source let you know your true nature brings inspiration and shows you the Ultimate Reality you are who you say you are experiences are within you not outside for example two people can take the same roller coaster ride in an amusement park one walks out of that ride very happy and thrilled and the ffects of that over a lifetime are ffects of that over a lifetime are ffects of that over a lifetime are positive for everything is a cause of something else the other person may walk out of that same ride full of

fear and shock and the effects of that over a lifetime or negative see the same ride was experienced in two very different ways by two people no experience exists outside of the person experiencing even what you would consider a terrible event is joyous to someone somewhere the point is choose to experience things positively and your life will be positive the meaning of everything is the meaning you give it and your experiences are what you say they are the next time a situation comes up see it as the illusion it is decide the xperience that you will have of it then experience that you will have of it then recreate yourself a new so that the

illusion changes to your liking this is o for financial situations and all so for financial situations and all other situations in life a healthy person is usually in a better position to create wealth health is an indication of agreement between your body Mind and Spirit lack of health is caus caused by a disagreement between these three for example a mind with negative thoughts and anger causes an unhealthy body a body that is not rested nourished exercised and kept free of toxins kills the Mind listen to notice and honor what signs your body Mind and Spirit give you a daily combination of exercise and meditation raises your energy levels and positive emotions leaving you in an

extremely powerful position to create wealth and growth remember I am the universe The Source manifests to Perfection all your I am statements and states of being made with certainty the only time there is in the universe is now the present time I am works and is in agreement with the ever present time of Now by being in present tense I will be barely makes it Freedom maintain yours and allow others theirs do not take life too seriously enjoy it play with it like a child laugh at every corner Joy is your true nature and aligning with your true nature boosts your acquisition of wealth rest and eat properly recharge your mind and body’s energy system
