@Natasha thanks! I will be watching them now! Cool.

Thanks @Henri and @Consept great advise! Really my idea is not about having money, I want to do something related with my dreams that is cartooning, comics, illustrations, etc. And make a living of that, now I am in the transition now so I feel like my day job is taking me so much time to dedicate to my dream job and is like I never find the time for advancing on my dream job. I feel like stuck, but I was thinking that maybe my mindset about "I am doing because I like it, not because of money, money will come from what I do" is preventing me of having the money. Lol

Very interesting @Isle of View thanks again!
-
Thanks again guys! Really helpful advises! I will try them and I let you know how is it going.
-
Is it possible that when you think on "money" you are also thinking on "lack of money'? @Isle of View ?
-
Yes @vizual , it does indeed. Cool. Thanks!
-
Thanks David, that's a good point
-
@Isle of View Thank you very much! Very helpful indeed! I think some of my problems are "you cannot serve two masters, money and god" "rich people are bad" "money makes people bad" etc... thanks

@Natasha thanks again... I am working on creating a small company to work freelance and make more money than working for others. And I was thinking in this hehehe... In John 14:12-14 12"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. 13"Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14"If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

@Natasha Thanks for the input. What I noticed is when you change the belief there's a change at a more deep level, that helps you to take decision to put those thoughts in action. Things happens more like without effort, like some force is guiding you who is not you. In fact it is "us" but we don't identify with it, we identify more with our ego. It happened to me but in other matters, with other things I wanted to accomplish but somehow I am a bit stuck in the money problem. Sometimes I think I want to earn money but I sabotage myself unconsciously, procrastinating, don't having enough will force, etc. I don't know if I am making myself clear hehehe...

Maybe I need to give a better explanation... The problem is that if someone just think that he deserves or can have a lot of money, money won't come by itself. I understand that. But, when you believe (not just think) you believe that you deserve to earn more, or to win more... you go for it, you stop procrastinating and you do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal. And things begin to happen, synchronicity for example, people who helps you achieve your goal, you get promoted, you get more confidence too, etc. When you just think that you can have a lot of money, your mind sabotages you. That's what is happening to me and I am working on changing that.

@Natasha thanks for your comment. I was asking because I noticed that there's a difference in my opinion about just thinking about changing and changing the belief. That's why sometimes I struggle with "the secret" , for example, I think that I have lot of money and I try to feel like if I already have it and ... nothing happens Lol So, that's why I think that it is something deeper that just thinking. You say "construct of thoughts". Maybe there's a difference between that and just thinking about it?

Lol... @Sarah_Flagg will go crazy with so much students to coach :-P I can send you my e-mail Sarah (via PM) with what I want to improve and you respond whenever you can or you have time. I don't know if that's the way you were thinking in working with all this stuff. You will need help, I think, hehehe...

@Jesper thanks! I will add it to my "must watch" list on youtube!

What I do is I tell them subtle things, like.... "we are nothing" when someone dies or some bad news, hehehe... people say it mindlessly without knowing is actually true. Or saying, "it's god willing" , we know is always god willing, so someday they could realize how true that was, more than what they were taught on a church or religion. And so on... -
I really don't have still clear all that myself, but I found an interesting article that my shed some light on the " real self - no self " debate. :-) "No-self teachings directly counter the sense that there is a separate watcher, and that this watcher is an “I” that is in control, observing reality or subject to the tribulations of the world. Truly, this is a useful illusion to counter. However, if misunderstood, this teaching can produce a shadow side that reeks of nihilism, disengagement with life and denial. People can get all fixated on eliminating a “self,” when the emphasis is supposed to be on the words “separate” and “permanent,” as well as on the illusion that is being creating. A better way to say this would be, “stopping the process of mentally creating the illusion of a separate self from sensations that are inherently non-dual, utterly transient and thus empty of any separate, permanent self.” Even if you get extremely enlightened, you will still be here from a conventional point of view, but you will also be just an interdependent and intimate part of this utterly transient universe, just as you actually always have been. The huge and yet subtle difference is that this will be known directly and clearly. The language “eliminating your ego” is similarly misunderstood most of the time."

Any tips about good affiliate programs? What are the best options to generate revenue? I am thinking in creating a website to offer graphic design work, my idea is also to make illustrations. I was thinking in having the website working with the regular stuff about design and illustration and having a blog where I will teach how to draw to those who are beginning and share WIP of comics I am doing and children books I am designing and illustrating, to generate content and traffic. Then I will be adding more stuff little by little, probably I will create a youtube channel with tips about illustration and design. Probably I will take @Leo Gura life purpose program, but I need to generate some income first, hehehe.. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks @Natasha for sharing. They won't understand, it was hard for me to accept it, imagine them that they are still completely in the illusion, I think they didn't even questioned these kind of things. I have a similar problem with some friends that we talked a lot about spirituality. But we did it before, when I was searching in my beginnings about spiritual things without knowing well, so I had some experiences that I think (now) they were more at a mental level. Until that kind of experiences mostly "pleasant" it was all good. But when I'm finding out the real thing, and it really is a bit scary from our perspective of our ego and our identity. It was like a shock to them, I didn't tell them about no self and more, because they will think I am crazy hehehe... and my wife is also changed. She gets very angry if I mention Jesus or any religious thing, and I associate a lot of the things that are happening with the teachings of Jesus, but the difference is that now, my interpretation is much different and more deep. But they can't see that. It's like they still see me through the lens of the "christian church guy". And now I realized that the Christian church, is not really christian. I feel very identified with what you are telling me, thanks again for sharing!!!
