One evening after a prosperity seminar, one of my students walked up to me confused. She had been attending the classes for weeks and questioned how all “this prosperity stuff” could be working, since she had recently lost both her job and boyfriend.
To me, the answer was blindingly obvious, but required taking her through a thinking process to bring some insights to the surface...
She had been complaining about that job for months. Her pay was miniscule and there seemed no room for advancement. Several times during the class she had discussed her boyfriend, who was both physically and verbally abusive to her.
Subconsciously, she had manifested the first step to her prosperity breakthrough: creating a vacuum.
As her consciousness developed, her job could no longer hold her, and her boyfriend was no longer comfortable with her. (Because he could no longer control her.) Ultimately, she found a fulfilling job with much higher wages, and attracted a great guy who appreciated her and provided the human dignity that is the birthright of us all.
People frequently complain about the circumstances they’re fighting, but don’t do any critical thinking about what they are doing to create or contribute to those circumstances. Were James Allen still alive, he might ask, “What’s the point of fighting an effect, all the while you are nourishing and preserving the cause that is in your heart?” That cause could be a conscious vice like alcohol, other drugs, or a gambling addiction. Or an unconscious belief like thinking you’re not worthy, money is bad, it’s spiritual to be poor, you must sell your soul for money, or other dysfunctional premises. Unless and until you deal with the cause, the effect is going to keep coming back.
The universe can’t put anything into your hand, until you let go of what you’re grasping in it. This takes us back to the vacuum dynamic...
Holding on to a negative belief will often prevent you from recognizing and accepting the prosperity you deserve. When people come to me for advice because they’re not manifesting prosperity in all areas of their lives, the first question I ask is…
What are you holding on to—that you need to release?
The Universe fills vacuums. And since the inherent nature of the universe is progressive, a vacuum will ultimately be filled with a positive outcome. When you walk along the beach, you leave footprints in the sand. But give the wind and the waves enough time and those tracks will be filled.
If you want to manifest prosperity into some aspect of your life, look at where you may need to create a vacuum.
How are you going to manifest your ideal soulmate if you’re holding onto an abusive current relationship? How will you manifest optimal health if you hang on to the false programming you receive every time you watch a commercial from a fast-food restaurant? How will you become wealthy if you’re holding on to a belief that rich people are evil?
There’s an infinite number of ways you can create a vacuum.
- If you want more energy, remove all the junk food from your cupboards.
- If you want some new shoes, clean out your closet and donate some old ones to the homeless shelter.
- If you want more mental harmony, add a “no devices day” to your calendar each week.
- If you want yet more mental harmony, delete social media apps from your phone.
- If you want more happiness in your life, let go of any religious doctrines or dogma that teach you that you’re unworthy.
- If you want to be more productive, clean up the clutter around you.
- If you want more prosperity consciousness in your life, reduce the time spent with people who pull you down.
There’s an epidemic of entitlement and victimhood thinking in the world today. And now there are industries spending trillions of dollars training AI algorithms to weaponize your negative and limiting beliefs against you. You get brainwashed to eat stuff that’s killing you, buy shit you don’t need, and doom scroll for hours on social platforms that are turning you into a vegetable.
This greatest beneficial impact of applying the vacuum dynamic in your life is letting go of the beliefs that don’t serve you. This creates a vacuum for good.
If you are holding on to being a victim...there is no space in your mind to become a victor.
Once you let go of your victimhood, a whole new world of possibilities opens for you. Health challenges resolve, relationships improve, your finances get better, and your happiness skyrockets. Nothing external changes. The change is created in you.
No doubt, it takes a certain amount of faith to practice this law. You must be willing to let go of jobs, beliefs, even people close to you. That can be scary. In my own case, I gather faith from the way the Universe unfolds. The weakest members of the herd are culled, stronger DNA prevails, organisms innovate for survival, forest fires reduce dead vegetation to fuel growth, etc. These vacuums are all part of the evolutionary progression of the Universe. Once you realize that the Universe is inherently good, it’s easier to have faith in prosperous outcomes. You no longer fear releasing things, because you know that they will be replaced with something of equal or even greater value.
You are surrounded by a Universe of good everywhere. (No matter what the media tries to get you to believe.) The only lack is the lack in your mind. Open your mind to receive prosperity, create a vacuum to hold it, and you will attract it.
Peace,

Control or flow, or both? How can the Universe fill the space I consciously clear with positivity if I’m acting as a guardian, carefully observing everything that comes my way, even while holding an open checklist, knowing I may not yet understand the lesson behind it? My checklist isn't rigid as I often return to things I thought I had already let go.
Děkuji. Skvělý článek. Tohleto se mi začalo dít před pár dny. Držel jsem se práce, doslova zuby, nehty, práce, kde mě využívají a málo oceňují. Vím, co chci dělat v životě, ale jak chytit do rukou něco nového, když se stále držím starého. Začnu pouštět staré a chytat nové.
