"Your first line of defense in a situation of negativity is the positive use of your creative mind.
You must stand as a beacon of positive energy if you are to break free of negative controls and move into a higher expression. You can do this both as an individual and within a group action."
-John-Roger DSS
The biggest challenge with this is to pull yourself away from the "gravity" of the negativity. You may feel foolish or awkward going into the positive use of your creative mind while in the midst of negativity but that's where the freedom is.
This is the Master's Path.
Using a group focus makes the positive creative vision easier. Where two or more are gathered...

"As you sit in meditation, in spiritual exercises, in silence, in contemplation, you can open to the higher centers of Spirit within you, where the precipitation of abundance starts, and permit it to come down.
As it does, it can present itself as intuition, in flashing pictures, forms, colors, and even words that form in the mind to start the manifestation. Sometimes you may energize them with feelings and then physically move on them. As you do that, the by-product is enthusiasm.
You can ride the enthusiasm and do things that you may never have thought possible. With such enthusiasm, we have the ability to work longer hours, stay focused, and accomplish things as if they were miracles in a time warp."

"You are in this world to learn to use the energy of creation wisely in order to bring about completion. An important key to remember is that the energy of Spirit follows the thoughts you hold. Wherever you direct this spiritual energy in the material world, things are manifested.
There's an old saying: "What you fear comes upon you." It means you become a magnet for what you fear, and you create for yourself the very thing you're afraid of. Is there a real source of fear? No.... Is there real fear? Yes. It is inside of you, and you are the creator of it. You give birth to your own fear.
Under the energy of fear is the energy of pure Spirit, which allows you to create whatever you want. This is the unconditional loving of Spirit, allowing you to do whatever you will with your body, emotions, and mind."
- John-Roger
In my experience under the fear is the hurt, under the hurt is the caring, and under the caring is Love.
Our tendency is to avoid the fear, to distract ourselves in the world, to numb ourselves.
If we face the fear and go into it and go through the layers of grief, anger, pain, the hurt, to the caring and finally the Loving then we have reached the completion of that cycle.
Hold the vision of getting to the Loving, the abundance, the health, wealth and riches.
That is the karmic completion,
That is where the Grace and Transcendence are.
Go there and complete till you reach the Grace.

"Prosperity is for you -- both the abundance of Spirit and the manifestation on this physical level." - John-Roger
This may seem like a simple statement but I find it profound.
We have many filters and belief systems that actually may go against us believing that we are worthy of prosperity, of wealth, of joy.
Our subconscious implants may be working against us even as we think we are moving towards our success.
At our core we are worthy, truly worthy of prosperity. We are divine, we are blessed.
May you wake up in the gnosis, the knowing, that your Being is one of infinite prosperity and you are connected with the Source.

​"In the higher realms, creation is still going on. In the lower levels, however, creation is complete - or, at least, is set in high degrees of possibility or probability. Those who prophesy do so on what they foresee as being highly probable, but these things can be changed through what has traditionally been called the grace of God. Don't let the words block you. There is the possibility that you can, by learning how to enter into the consciousness of grace, change those life patterns that have been established as probable for you. As a person graces God (by their good works), it is possible for them to receive grace and change their pattern from one of poverty consciousness to one of abundance and prosperity". - John-Roger
Prepare the way for Grace.
Pray and meditate on Grace.
Be of service and hold the higher vision.
May Grace fill your world and rule the day.

"As a Spiritual Warrior you need to get this very clear. "If I am with the all, then I am not in tension or in need. I know I am with all things. I do not feel lack or pressure. I am poised. I am silent, peaceful. I can deal with any form that comes my way and let it go. I am not bound to anything." This is correct imagination." --John-Roger
Peace be still.

“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”

"You are perfectly placed for your future. From that perspective, you can tell yourself the story of your success. Your success is where love is leading you. Be specific as you describe your success in the area you wish to improve. Don't hold back. See, hear, feel your new attitude and new approach as if you are already living it. Think of this as your story of expansion. Make sure to make this a success fantasy. Give it a happy ending. It is a quirk of human nature that even when the possibilities are endless, as they are in fantasy, we tend to imagine ourselves losing. While making up your story, be happy- no, be joyous as you contemplate the best outcome for yourself."
-John-Roger
Sometimes we see the "disaster" scenario out of habit. We can be programmed from our childhood or other lives that seeing all the ways we can lose is a way to stop it from happening. My mom use to tell me that worry was a good thing because it made you go do something. From my perspective now that is a fallacy.
Enthusiasm opens up to expansion which opens up to creativity and intuition.
It is a Master's path to focus on the expansion when you contract.
Go for the Master's path.

"One day, you may realize that you have become the alchemist of your own being and that the gold of your being is present. That is not gold like we think of gold metal here. It is much rarer. You can eat of it and drink of it, and it will sustain you through anything. It is the gold of that spiritual form that you are."

​“When someone seeks," said Siddhartha, "then it easily happens that his eyes see only the thing that he seeks, and he is able to find nothing, to take in nothing because he always thinks only about the thing he is seeking, because he has one goal, because he is obsessed with his goal. Seeking means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
We usually define goals as an outer thing...I want a house, car, relationship, job....I want a cookie.
If you can go deeper into the essence of the experience you want to have rather than just the "goal" you might find that it can be touched on in the present moment.
The essence seems to have layers...quiet, peace, joy.
The deeper we go into the essence, into the formless, into the "no goal", into the being, the more we can experience the freedom, the liberation, the divine,
The eternally traveling consciousness.
And as we travel the road of "no goal" we may see wonders our mind could not have conceived of.
