Lester Levenson on "Demonstration"

Lester: Speaking on
"Demonstration"

Why is it that some people seem to get everything they want with very little effort, and yet others find themselves struggling day in and day out just to make ends meet? If you've every wondered about this and thought that there must be an explanation, then you'll be happy to know there is.

Below is a partial transcript of a talk that Lester Levenson gave on "demonstration"—on bringing what we focus on into existence. It is transcribed from the tape titled "Lester on Will Power," and is one of the bonus tapes included with the Abundance Course:

"Whether we are aware of it or not, everyone is controlling matter all of the time. Whether one wants to be a 'demonstrator' or not, he is. It is impossible to not be a creator all the time. Everyone is creating every day.

"We're not aware of it because we just don't look at it. Every single thought materializes in the material world. It is impossible to have a thought that will not materialize, except that we reverse it. If we say the opposite right after we have a thought, with equal strength, we just neutralize it. But any thought not reversed or neutralized, will materialize in the future, if not immediately. So this thing of demonstration that we're all trying so hard to do, we're doing all the time, unaware of the fact that we're doing it. All we need to do is to consciously direct it, and that we call demonstration.

"Everything that everyone has in life is a demonstration. It couldn't come into your experience had you not had a thought of it sometime prior. If you want to know what your sum total thinkingness is, it is exactly determined by what's around you—what you have—that's your demonstration. If you like it, you may hold it. If you don't, start changing your thinking. Concentrate it in the direction that you really want, until those thoughts become predominant. And whatever those thoughts are will materialize in the world. And when you begin to demonstrate consciously—small things—you may then realize that the only reason they are small is because you don't dare to think big—that the same exact principle or rule applies to demonstrating a penny that applies to demonstrating a billion dollars. The mind sets the size.

"Anyone who can demonstrate a dollar can demonstrate a million dollars... businessmen. Become aware of the way you're demonstrating the one dollar bill and just put six zeros after it next time. Take on the consciousness of the million, rather than the one dollar bill.

"This relates to what I'm saying that there's no difference between the material and the spiritual when you see it. The material being just an outprojecting of our minds into what we call the universe and the world and many bodies. And when we see that it's just an out-projecting of our minds—that it's just a picture that we have created—we can very easily change it...instantly.

"So, to repeat, everyone is demonstrating—creating—every moment that he or she is thinking. You have no choice. You are a creator, so long as you have a mind and think."

Lester goes on to talk about how if we only thought of the things we want, that that is all we would get. However, this is not so easy. Our thoughts are usually habitually negative, and therefore it is often difficult or nearly impossible to focus on what we want without countering it with a negative thought in the opposite direction of what we want just a few seconds later.

Lester knew this, and so he gave us the Release Technique as the solution. With the Release Technique, one can easily release the negative programs from the mind that keep us habitually focused—both consciously and subconsciously—on the things we do not want.

When we release these negative programs, our minds become quiet and focussed, like a laser beam, on what we DO want. From there, it becomes effortless to have what we want. There is no need to struggle for it.

The belief that we need to "work hard" or "struggle" to have what we want is just another program, which is fostered very much by society. But, this is just a myth. In truth, if we believed that all we needed to do was to crow like a rooster twice a day in order to have abundance, then we'd crow like a rooster twice a day, and we'd have abundance.

But, this is so unbelievable to most, because we've been so conditioned to believe that we must work hard to have what we want. Many have apparently seen, in their own lives, that if they work harder they seem to get more (sometimes). And so, they end up attributing their receiving of more abundance to the hard work, when in reality it is due to their acceptance of more, which they have actually predicated upon their "hard work."

Many people feel they must work hard to "deserve" abundance, or that "money won't come if I'm just sitting on my butt." But, we must challenge this assumption. If it was hard work that brought abundance, than the ditch-digger would be the wealthiest.

We challenge you to spend some time doing nothing but sitting on your butt Releasing all the negativity that you've suppressed (we'll show you how), and tell us how your week went. You'll likely tell us it was an absolutely incredible week, where everything worked out perfectly---effortlessly.

We don't expect you to believe anything we say here. But rather, "take it for checking." It other words, try it out in your own life and prove or disprove it for yourself.

The law of the universe says that likes attract. So, if you are positive, you will attract more positive. And, conversely, if you are negative and feeing lacking, you will attract more lack. Hence, the saying, "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer." It is completely in our thinking—in what we are focussing on—rather than in how much effort we put into trying and struggling, which determines what we get.

If you haven't yet taken the Abundance Course, we invite you to try it out and put it to the test. Prove it or disprove it for yourself, rather than make assumptions from your past societal or parental conditioning.

You have nothing to lose—except your limitations, and you have everything to gain. How would your life be if you no longer had to scratch for a living like a slave? How would it feel if you knew that you were 100% in charge of your own thinking, instead of your thinking and programming running you all over the place? What is something like that worth, if you could even put a price tag on it?

If you've already taken the Abundance Course, then we invite you to read further to learn about the Goals & Resistance Course, designed by Lester.

Really Going For It: The Goals & Resistance Course—An Advanced Course for Graduates

If you are an Abundance Course graduate and are ready to supercharge your Releasing, then the next step is to take the Goals & Resistance Course.

This course was designed by Lester to corner our resistance and help us see where we run and distract ourselves from our feelings. It will show you exactly where you are sabotaging your success. And then it will give you the tools to dismantle this resistance. It's not always easy to face down subconscious resistance, which is why we pair you up with a Releasing partner who will help you stay on track and help you get the most out of the course.

If you don't have abundance after taking the Abundance Course, it's only because you are still holding onto wanting and there is still subconscious resistance to having.

Lester knew that we all had a lot of subconscious resistance. If we didn't, then we'd have everything we want in life. It's the subconscious resistance that's sabotaging even some who have taken the Abundance Course. Lester knew about resistance, so he designed the Goals & Resistance Course to corner your resistance so you can see it, and then knock it out.

Speaking with graduates who are in the middle of this six-week advanced course is always inspiring. They are usually flying high as a kite and feeling very open, free and unlimited. They tell us they have never felt so free in their entire lives. We know what they mean—we've done the course, too.

We receive many testimonials from graduates of the Goals & Resistance Course as they begin achieving their goals with an even greater ease. One goal that is given in the Goals & Resistance Course, which you can get to work on right now is, "I allow myself to have $100 or more by Releasing only." If $100 is too little, then move the decimal point and make it $1,000 or $10,000. Start with something your mind can reasonably accept, and then keep moving the decimal point over after you reach each goal.

As you read the goal statement, use the Release Technique as you learned in the Abundance Course to knock out any attachments or aversions to having the goal drop into your lap without any effort on your part. Then, let us know how it went.

We don't know anyone who the Goals & Resistance Course has ever cost any money. It gets more into the "butt system." Graduates start learning how the mind works and that it's only creative, so that if you are holding in mind wanting, which is lack, you are creating lack for yourself. When you let go of wanting, you move into having. There is no suffering in having.
