You do not overcome scarcity mindset by practicing scarcity mindset – the Power of Tough Love

Overcoming Scarcity Mindset is the theme of this morning’s mailbag. And here is the bottom line, folks. You do not overcome scarcity mindset by practicing scarcity mindset. You must start practicing abundance mindset if you want your reality to change. That means no more “trying to get everything for free.” No more hunting for discounts and coupons and bargains. No more saying “I can’t afford it.” No more “playing it safe” and “pinching pennies” and “cutting corners.” People sometimes wonder why I am a tough love coach. The answer is that I want you to get results, and you are not going to get any results if I indulge your scarcity mindset and claims of weakness. To learn more about having good boundaries as a coach, healer, or entrepreneur, please see my free Personal Power video here.

This morning, I answered two emails helping people to see how their scarcity mindset is hurting them. And I have decided to share the emails I wrote to these two people here on the blog so we can help more people shift to an abundance mindset.

Overcoming Scarcity Mindset – Email #1

The first woman whose email I answered has already emailed me several times over the past couple of months. She has repeatedly asked for technical assistance and to have her free trial of the 30-Day Abundance Challenge started over again. I did start it over again for her once, which she failed to use. And really, enough is enough. A coach or healer MUST have good boundaries to be successful, and if I continued to indulge the baloney she is doing here, it would hurt both of us.

The great irony of her email to me this morning is the problem she is complaining about: she often helps people for free and ends up not having a sustainable or prospering business as a result. She fails to ask to set good boundaries and insist on being paid. Thinking you are going to live in a “free” or “barter” economy is great until you consider the fact that your landlord probably is not going to accept barter to pay your rent. And Safeway thus far has no “barter” system for groceries. So at the end of the day, we are still living in a world where you need MONEY to be sustainable. And you see, here she is asking me repeatedly for “free” help, not taking responsibility for herself, and not investing in my product that she desperately needs. So she is DOING exactly what she does not want to be done to her. And that is her problem – she is practicing scarcity mindset, so her potential clients and customers do the same thing to her.

The way out of this problem is NOT for me to give her anything else for free. The way out of this problem is for me to model good boundaries for her and insist that she invest money to receive any further attention from me. Which is exactly the same thing she needs to do with her clients and customers. So this is what I wrote to her:

My friend, I already started it over for you and you did not take advantage of it. My intuition is very clear that this 30-Day Abundance Challenge will help you and also VERY clear that you simply need to purchase the product. $297 is a very small investment for the value you are going to get from these videos. You see, you need to understand that life is a mirror. You have emailed me multiple times now wanting my help without paying me anything, and that is a mirror of what you are getting back from the world. It’s actually very important for your results here that you take the plunge and invest the $297 for the 30-Day Abundance Challenge with faith that the Universe always gives back what you give to others, multiplied.

I see these issues all the time with healers, and it’s a big reason I insist on being paid. I must set the example for a sustainable business if I’m going to teach this. So please just get the full 30-Day Abundance Challenge and start using it. Thank you.

Overcoming Scarcity Mindset – Email #1

My second email this morning about the Overcoming Scarcity Mindset theme went to a sweet woman who works at the yoga studio that I frequent. This woman has compared me to Mary Magdalene, haha, and she used some of my free videos to win over $500 in the lottery a week or so ago.

She wanted to work with me or get some of my products but claimed she “could not afford it.” Well, I know this is not true because, for example, some of that $500 could have been invested in her personal development by getting the 30-Day Abundance Challenge or joining my Gold membership. So after I slept on it, I sent her this “tough love” email:

Okay I slept on this overnight. I appreciate you wanting to learn more about what I am teaching, and I want to share some intuitions with you. I do think as we talked about that writing an email in which you clarify your vision will be very helpful to you. Starting a blog can also help you meet this purpose of clarifying your intentions, as well as beginning to reach your audience. With technology the way it is now, there is no reason to limit yourself to a “local” audience. My clients live all over the world.

My intuition is that where you need to begin is the 30-Day Abundance Challenge, http://tapsmarter.com/attract-money. This is one of my “starter” products, and as you can see from the testimonials, when people use it with commitment, it pays for itself many times over. Now I kind of went back and forth about what would be the aligned way to offer this to you. I’m going to share my honest thoughts and hope you will see it as the free coaching that it is.

What I have found in coaching many, many, many people over the years is that giving the offerings away for free does not work for anyone. Of course you can try the free videos if you have not already at http://tapsmarter.com/abundance-challenge. That gives you a sample of what you can expect from the remaining 29 videos (includes bonuses). If you use the program with commitment, you will experience a fundamental shift in your thinking about money. You will notice that free video #3 is on the topic of “I can’t afford it.” This is a phrase that you simply must abolish from your vocabulary and your thinking. All it does is become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

[Erika Note: It is a fundamental truth - "To those who have, more is given."]

Now you have probably noticed that I spend a lot of money on personal development. Massage, acupuncture, yoga, and that’s just what I spend at [this venue]. This is VERY important. I always re-invest a significant amount of what I make with other healers and this helps keep the flow of money coming into my life.

So, for example, when you win the lottery. I absolutely understand you probably felt you had more “pressing” things to do with that money, but the most powerful thing you could do with that money was to get the 30-Day Abundance Challenge. There’s some leap of faith involved here, and yet it really works. The Universe rewards these kinds of investments.

I also greatly appreciate your kindness to me over the past months that we have been seeing each other at [venue]. Yet I feel that you are going to get better results if you actually invest in a meaningful way in what I am offering. When you invest in me, you will find it easier to ask others to invest in you because you are practicing what you preach. What I find universally is that people who do not invest money in their healing and empowerment find it very difficult to make any money because they attract customers like themselves – people who don’t think they can afford to pay. See what I mean?

So what I want to do is offer you a $100 discount on the 30-Day Abundance Challenge, which means you get it for $197. I also am willing for you to pay in installments if you want to do it that way – with product access after payment is complete. I understand it may feel scary, but stretching in this way is exactly how I helped coach my now-friend and customer Carolina Robin to a much higher income, which you can read about here – http://postfeminine.com/pajama-affiliates.

Namaste,
Erika

And by the way, in case you wonder if I practice what I preach, please know that I have invested several HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in learning what I now teach. And that I continue to spend thousands of dollars every month on my continuing education. So, yes, I do. And that is why my business is thriving.

Love,

Erika Awakening, High Priestess of Miracles at TAPsmarter

p.s. You can try out the first three videos of the 30-Day Abundance Challenge for THREE days only at http://tapsmarter.com/abundance-challenge. But as explained above, the real results come from INVESTING MONEY and MAKING A COMMITMENT to your personal development by purchasing the full product here: http://tapsmarter.com/attract-money.

Are we finally seeing the End of Dating?

So let me say this first … if you want to be a trend setter, all you need to do is follow your intuition. Nobody told me to stop dating, and nobody told me it would be the “next big thing.” But as you can see, it is the next big thing.

We just did a fun little show live on Huffington Post Live. They included me in the panel because of this article about Why I Don’t Date Anymore from last July. I wish the show had been longer because I had SO much more to say, about non-monogamy and about keeping your “Gaggle” and so forth. Still very glad for the opportunity, which no doubt arose out of the recording of my three most recent 30-Day Challenges … cuz like almost everything else in my life, it just fell into my lap

You can see the replay of our Huffington Post Live segment on the End of Dating right here:

Mark PostMasculine: When will justice be done in this situation?

By reader request, this article has moved here:

http://postfeminine.com/mark-postmasculine-sexual-fraud-and-what-is-this-about-courage

Love,

Erika Awakening

I’m happy to report that, as mentioned in recent articles, I have a new website, PostFeminine.com.

PostFeminine new website

We already have some great new content articles on the new website, so I invite you to check them out now:

1. Spontaneous Female Orgasm without Masturbation or Sex?

2. 12 Reasons Why Avoidance (“just getting over it” and “moving on”) Is A Stupid Practice

I also will be looking for guest posts, though I’m going to be very selective about which ones I publish there. It must be totally original content not published elsewhere, and it must be very deep transformational work. Canned or cliched dating and relationship articles will not be published on this new site.

Love,

Erika Awakening, High Priestess of Miracles at TAPsmarter

So a few truly brilliant commentators on my recent article series about my ex Mark PostMasculine (Mark Manson, a/k/a Entropy PUA) have pointed out the obvious:

“You still want him.”

“You still love him.”

Lol lol lol

True love, there's no shame in it

Notice how they say it like an accusation, lol? Like it’s the most shameful thing on the planet to LOVE someone …

Do you all understand that THIS is what is wrong with our planet? People so worried about their fucking image that they “act cool” and “pretend” to be above love. Fuck that shit.

Yeah, I want him. I love him. I’ll stand here in front of you with no shame at all and say it straight up.

Because I am not ashamed of loving. You people think love is weakness.

Love is not weakness. Love is the most powerful force in all the Universe, and I’ll take a stand with love and for love any day.

‎“In honesty, is it not harder for you to say ‘I love’ than ‘I hate?’ You associate love with weakness and hatred with strength, and your own real power seems to you as your real weakness. For you could not control your joyous response to the call of love if you heard it, and the whole world you thought you made would vanish. The Holy Spirit, then, seems to be attacking your fortress, for you would shut out God, and He does not will to be excluded.”

- A Course in Miracles

Many of you have also heard my call for justice as a call for vengeance. I don’t teach vengeance. I only teach God’s justice. God’s justice is amazing in that it doesn’t punish anyone. Nope. God’s justice wipes away every mistake we ever made and puts us back on the throne of EVERYTHING, exactly where we belong.

God’s justice rights every wrong, and gives us everything we ever truly wanted. If you all understood God’s justice, there would be a chorus of thousands on these articles, saying, simply, “Fuck YEAH!”

Until then, I will stand for love and for God’s justice. I will shout love from the mountaintops. I will love, and you had better believe I will trust that love to deliver God’s justice to my doorstep.

Because Love is the most powerful Force in all the Universe

What’s at stake in this situation is the healing of the masculine and feminine pain-body throughout this entire planet.

A commentator on my article about Mark PostMasculine‘s attempts to “run away” from his pain basically said the same cliched and reactive baloney I have heard from countless men over the past three years, including from Mark PostMasculine: “Just get over it.”

Mark PostMasculine Manson and Erika Awakening

I responded in the comments section of that article (read more here). Today we are going to explore more fully why “just get over it” is some of the most misguided advice on the planet, and why “just get over it” is the fuel behind Mark PostMasculine’s three-year addiction to foreign travel binge.

Some people surely will think this article is “personal” and that I “should” not be talking about this relationship in public. There is nothing “personal” about any of this. For those of you who are tuned in, you know that healing this relationship is the whole banana. Healing this one relationship is going to do more for every man, woman, and child on this planet than you can even imagine. Because we are not healing Mark PostMasculine and Erika Awakening. We are healing a centuries-long battle between the sexes so that we can all finally live in love and peace.

So if you think that I am going to “just get over it” anytime before there is complete justice in this situation (meaning, Mark PostMasculine faces this directly and makes it right with me), you don’t understand me or my healing work at all.

At the beginning of the article that Mark PostMasculine wrote about running away from America, he briefly alluded to the real heart of the matter. Family issues. He straight up compared his dissatisfaction with “America” to the waking up that many of us had that our fucked up families were not really “normal.”

Unfortunately, he only briefly talked about that comparison before going on to make the rest of the article about the perceived flaws of “America.” His article would be a lot more powerful and honest if he had delved into his childhood pain, because I guarantee you that is a lot of what he is running from.

So what happened in YOUR childhood, Mark PostMasculine? And, in particular, tell us about your relationship with your mother, which formed the foundation of your fucked-up relationships with women. There’s no shame in it. My childhood sucked, too. Ask my customers at TAPsmarter. The ones who have all my video products. They will tell you that I have shared DOZENS of anecdotes about the outrageous behavior and belief systems of my parents and other authority figures in my childhood, and the negative consequences of that for my life before I created Holistic Belief Reprogramming.

You see, the difference between me and you, Mark PostMasculine, is not in the amount of suffering we have had. We are both “old souls” and the hurts go way beyond this lifetime. In fact, we have had countless lifetimes together in which we had plenty of suffering also (you know this already). The difference between us is that one of us is facing the pain, and the other one is running away from it. And that running away has to stop. It must stop, for the sake of not only us but the ENTIRE PLANET.

In these Holistic Belief Reprogramming videos, I often CRY. Yep, cry right in front of all my customers. Shame, shame, right? WRONG. I am living what I teach. The emotions only run your life when you refuse to face them. When you face them directly and release the negative emotions, miracles happen. Miracles like my quarter million dollars so far this year and the healing of my body. (If you need a miracle in your life, and want to see me cry in public, click here for a free video.)

Running away just prolongs the pain and suffering for everyone. As I said in the prior article, you can run but you cannot hide from karma. As long as you run, you just keep attracting more painful experiences, and creating more pain that you have to run even faster to avoid.

The answer is not running. The answer is not spending another ten years as an expatriate only to discover that you have become even more fucked up emotionally than you were before.

The answer is FACING THE PAIN AND THE PEOPLE INVOLVED DIRECTLY. This is why making amends with those you have hurt is part of a twelve-step program for ending addictions (like your addiction to running away and foreign travel). Because until you do this, you will never have peace. And there’s only so long you can run from emotions before there will be a COLLAPSE. Don’t end up in a hospital on the brink of death like I did before you wake the fuck up. YOU CAN WAKE UP NOW.

For those who are tired of running away from their pain and would like to have permanent relief and healing, I encourage you to check out our membership and our product offerings at TAPsmarter.

Meanwhile, I will not be just “getting over it.” I will be doing whatever it takes to get this situation healed, so that the Divine Masculine and the Divine Feminine can once again live together in peace, as they did in the Garden of Eden before the separation from God began.

Today was a very quiet day. I spent the day with God.

Last night, I asked Him what needed to be done to bring peace to the situation with my ex, and He told me to write today’s article (if you missed it, read it here).

I felt so much lighter after writing the article. And right here (in America lol!), I spent the rest of the day in joy and peace. I loved my kitty cats, and I cleaned up some paperwork. I put the new parking sticker on my car. I ate simple organic vegetarian food, and cleaned up some files on my computers. I listened to a lot of beautiful gospel music. I also took care of a few things for my retreat this coming week with my long-term mentoring client.

And I felt this amazing JOY arising through my heart chakra up through my crown chakra and all through my being. It’s like JOY exploding out of my chest It feels amazing.

There’s no need to go anywhere to have happiness. You don’t need to get out of America or even get out of town. Happiness is here now, for anyone who develops a powerful relationship with God.

As A Course in Miracles teaches us:

“From here, the way to Heaven is open and easy. In fact, it is here. Who would ‘go’ anywhere, if peace of mind is already complete? And who would seek to change tranquility for something more desirable? What could be more desirable than this?”

- A Course in Miracles

Claim your happiness now.

My ex, formerly known as Entropy PUA, also known as Mark Manson and now as Mark PostMasculine, recently wrote a rather scathing and well-trafficked article critiquing America. Many of the commentators at PostMasculine have pointed out that he should have said the “United States” instead of America. No, my friends, he used exactly the correct language. And if you want to understand the TRUTH of this article hating on America, you are going to need to do something that almost nobody on this planet is doing: look beneath the surface to what is really going on.

My ex Mark PostMasculine is not running from America. I could sit here and logically debate the points he made in his article, almost none of which apply to where I live in Northern California. But that would be an utterly useless exercise, just like the hundreds of comments the article has generated. Because the article is not about America. My ex is running from AmERIKA, and all that she represents. So you see, his unconscious mind used exactly the correct word.

How deeply do you all listen to what is said around you? Can you see the deeper unconscious meanings of everything? If not, it’s time to learn this mystical language of the soul.

Mark PostMasculine and Erika Awakening

Three and a half years ago, some of you may recall, Mark PostMasculine “seduced” Erika Awakening. However, “seduced” actually is not the correct word. What Mark PostMasculine did is defraud Erika Awakening. He committed what I call “sexual fraud,” which is where a man obtains sex from a woman with a combination of false pretenses and false promises. Mark PostMasculine offered Erika Awakening a long-term relationship, including talk about marriage, combining our businesses, and moving in together in San Francisco. After he obtained sex, he reneged on all of his promises. To this day, he still has not honored his word or been accountable in any way. He ran from true love.

He justifies this in his own mind by telling himself that “he changed his mind” and that “he owes Erika Awakening nothing.” But you see, deep down in his heart, he knows this is bullshit. Everyone has a conscience. Some people have buried their conscience, as he obviously has. And that is why Mark PostMasculine must run. He would be chartering flights to Mars if they were available, because he cannot run far enough to get away from God and his own conscience.

How many of the women that Mark PostMasculine has bedded were seduced under false pretenses? I don’t know, but I’d probably cut his number in half at least. I am aware from his own communications with me of a number of other women left angry and disgruntled by his unethical behavior, and I am aware of one woman who was so angry that she actually sought to harm him (I’m going to leave details out because they are personal).

So you wonder why Mark PostMasculine is running from America?

Let me make it very clear, that I have no intention of harming Mark PostMasculine in any way. I do not wish for him to be harmed. I wish for him to wake up and be healed and find the light and the conscience within himself. I wish for him to understand the importance of keeping his word and for him to make good with the people he has fucked over. And until he gets that healing, he has no business giving dating advice to anyone else.

It is ironic that the article begins with comparing America to an alcoholic brother, because in a 12-step program, Mark PostMasculine could probably face his addiction to foreign travel and escapism. A self-admitted avoidant, he has been running away from his problems for years (which is what people do when they drink out of control). Part of his 12-step program would be making amends with people like me whom he fucked over in his dissociated addictive state.

The problem, Mark PostMasculine, is that wherever you go, there you still are. And until you face the demons within yourself, you will NEVER have true peace. Which means you may be run run running for decades. Unless you are willing to try something different for a change.

Which, irony of ironies, is what I offer through Holistic Belief Reprogramming. I offer the cure to Mark PostMasculine’s problem. I offer the method by which he can face all of his demons and find inner peace and integrity. And that scares the shit out of him.

So he is running from Amerika. What does Amerika represent? She represents the Divine Feminine. Homeland has long been associated with the Feminine, and is a symbol of his tortured relationship with women. She also represents the root chakra and grounding into the nurturing of Mother Earth. And in this case, she represents healing and the end of exploitative ego consciousness. His return to Amerika represents the Holy Union of Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine in God. The lifting of the veil and the return to the Garden of Eden.

That’s what Mark PostMasculine is running away from. That’s what we all are running away from when we participate in compulsive hamster wheel patterns of abuse and addiction. We fight against healing, happiness, and love in countless ways. The only way we can continue to deceive ourselves is never to become still and quiet and listen to the Voice for God within us. Which is what compulsive foreign travel and hundreds of blog comments accomplishes. So much noise and busy-ness that the Voice for God is almost completely drowned out.

Well, you can run from God, but you cannot hide. God will not be mocked. Eventually karma catches up with all of us, as it did for Erika Awakening with her near-death experience in 2006 (read more here). God’s Voice will be heard, and healing will be accomplished. When this happens doesn’t really matter, because God ensures a happy outcome for all situations.

Last week, I purchased the domain http://postfeminine.com. It is not set up yet, but my intention for the new site is to provide a counterpoint of honesty and accountability to a seduction community that all too often is running with no integrity and no guiding higher values. The Voice of the Divine Feminine has been silenced, ridiculed, and suppressed for far too long in our culture. No more. She shall be heard. The running shall cease. And we will bring Heaven to Earth. Sooner than you think.
