The guide for transforming abundance to affluence., July 21, 1999
This book changed my life by awakening my understanding that affluence is just another form of abundance. All of us have abundance - whether it be an abundance of plants, relatives, friends, seashells - whatever! Furthermore, in the universe there is no inherent difference of value between gold and lead or any other element. Therefore, if you have an abundance of anything you can create an abundance of money, because money is a relative concept. Worked for me! I loved this book because it changed my perception of money without changing my values or beliefs and then changed me from an impoverished single mother to one who is quite comfortable. There were, it is true, other factors, but this book was a very major influence. Another way of thinking of it is from Maharishi Maharesh who responded to the question of where money would come for a new project by saying, "Why, from wherever it is now!" Try it.

Read It Over and Over... It's That Good!, October 28, 2002
This book although very short, should be required reading! From "abundance" to "zest", it covers just about everything required to lead a content, happy, productive and profitable life. I have owned this book for about 8 years and have re-read it many, many times.
The introduction sets the whole tone of the book by stating "there is power in knowledge, desire and spirit, and this power within you is the key to creating affluence". We realize quickly that it is our inborn nature to be abundant... to be affluent. By desiring something, stating our intention, then letting go of our attachment to it, we can recieve all that we desire from life, wether in money, love, position or anything else we may seek.
The first part of the book discusses quantum reality and how we and everything else in our world are all made of the same "stuff", which is primarily energy... or "non-stuff". What makes one thing different from another is the arrangement and quantity of these impules of energy and information.
Part one of the book gives one or two simple ideas under each letter of the alphabet that are short, sweet and very much to the point. Beacuse it is in such an easy to read and brief format, this is the kind of book you will want (and the author suggests you do) read over and over again. Depending on where you are with your life at any given moment, you will pull something more out of it with each reading.
Part two of the book discusses our similarities to the unified field. It discusses the 25 charachteristics of the field and how these are also the characteristics of "Brahman, the source of all creation, as described in the Veda, the classic spiritual text of India". This part, although intersting, was not as good as part one, but overall I still have to rate this book as one of the best I have ever read!
This book will only take an hour or two to read but the messages it sends are timeless... read it again and again so you don't miss a word! It's fantastic!

I Won't Live Without This Tape!, March 8, 2003
This review is from: Creating Affluence: Wealth Consciousness in the Field of All Possibilities (Chopra, Deepak) (Audio Cassette)
I can't begin to do justice to this remarkable tape by Dr. Chopra. His words and philosophy have enriched my life in both subtle and profound ways. A short while after I began to listen to this tape, my life began to offer me wealth & opportunities that simply came my way, without any effort and this flow of wealth & opportunities has continued throughout the five years I have had this tape in my possession. The real beauty of this tape is that you need only to listen to it, (which I do every day in my car), and the wealth and affluence, that according to Dr. Chopra are what the Universe(GOD)wants for us, begin to make a presence in your life without any special effort on your part. So BUY THIS TAPE, (I have the book too, but it really is better if you can listen to the tape every day). Just listen every day and your life will change in fabulous ways, I guarantee it!
