Creating Bridges: Spirituality & Philosophy:
The Conscious Column
Bulls-Eye

Now, ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention! What you've all been waiting for - the definitive answer for creating a life filled with peace, joy, health, prosperity and the fulfillment of the desires of your heart is...drum roll please; BELIEVING IS SEEING. Thank you and good night.
Hmmm, sorry if you were expecting something a bit more complex or grand but that's really it. We try to complicate the answer, adorn it with the latest must have's and can't do without's, but every book, seminar and speaker worth their weight in integrity will eventually tell you the same message that was imparted by one of the greatest masters that ever lived, "It is done unto you as you believe."
I've often wondered, even after I know this so well intellectually, why many times I still go unconscious, allowing my thought processes to travel on roads that have long since led to disappointment. I know better than to say things like, I can't afford it, that'll never happen, I can't get anyone to help, or I am so tired. I know that by saying these things, I activate a Universal law that supports me in having exactly what I declare.
I know that if I expect things to not work out or let doubt cloud my intention in the slightest, that I'm going to be delivered the blandest, smallest fruit from the Tree of Life, depriving myself of the juiciest of harvests.
It's really no one else's fault. You and I are the generator of our thoughts. Statistics have shown that more than 70% of those daily thoughts tend to be negative. And we wonder why we still carry with us some of the same issues that have zapped our energies and fostered futility in our hearts year after year?
It isn't the economy. It is our belief about the economy. It isn't that there are no good men or women available. It's that we believe that to be so. It isn't that we can't make money doing what we love. It's that somewhere along the line, we bought that as truth.
This month I turn 45 and I am more dedicated than ever to becoming a consistent, conscious steward of my thoughts. There is no greater gift I could give myself. It is the ultimate act of self-love. I prayed to awaken to something that was going to help me be more mindful, something that would "re-mind" me that the power to change worlds rest right here inside.
Shortly thereafter I read a passage by the metaphysician Ernest Holmes that encouraged the reader to sit, meditate and realize that we/you/I are the Center of Divine Attraction. Something about that statement leapt off the page! To actually affirm and proclaim that I am the center, the very core of divine attraction summoned up all sorts of remarkable images. The most exciting was that of a bulls-eye in the center of a target.
 "
Here I am" I joyously proclaimed, "a walking bulls-eye, declaring that I am the center of divine attraction! C'mon God, hit me with the good!"
I visualized Spirit as the master archer shooting arrows of outrageously awesome good fortune at me, piercing me in the very core of my being with all things grand and glorious. I began singing/chanting
I AM,
I AM THE CENTER OF,
I AM THE CENTER OF DIVINE ATTRACTION
ALL THINGS
ALL PURE AND BLESSED THINGS
ALL PURE AND BLESSED THINGS COME TO ME NOW
I had my graphics person design a target with a bulls-eye and I wrote my name in the very center of it. I placed a copy of that monogrammed target in front of my computer, on the refrigerator, on the bathroom mirror and on the dash of the car. I committed to singing that chant repeatedly throughout the day. I went into the recording studio and created a lively, energetic dance musical track and put those words to it so that I could play it at the gym when I'm on the treadmill or listen to it as I hike through the Angeles Crest National Forest. I infused these activities with a belief and a joy that heretofore had been non existent in such practises.
You sort of get the velocity at which an arrow travels, right?
After a few weeks of consistently doing this, my world began to rapidly change. The "believing" began to welcome its "seeing" counterpart.
Since truly becoming a believe-a-holic, I've traveled to Kauai on an all-expenses-paid gift. My first conference-at-sea was a sell out and one of the most gratifying experiences of my career. Funding arrived and I am now completing my first studio recording in over 4 years. My monthly Los Angeles workshops are at capacity as well as seeing an enormous increase in my counseling clientele. My health, energy and vitality are at an all time high and the balance between work and play feels effortless. I laugh as the information for my second book enthusiastically pours from me. My world is increasingly filled with powerful, peace-hungry people. I am traveling to Egypt and Africa in November to be a part of a team of conscious, loving individuals dedicated to "being the change," and in January, I'm facilitating a trip to the sacred sites of Thailand and Cambodia. It's there in Cambodia, I feel I will be introduced to the child I have long wanted to adopt.
With each conscious decision to focus on unlimited potentiality, the Universe loyally turns my attention to the many reminders that are out in the world to support such a belief.
I laughed the other day as I drove the streets of Los Angeles because, unaware of its presence, there's been one of those reminders consistently in my face.
Take a look at the side view mirror on the passenger side of your car. There, the remarkable sentence reads ; Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear. I like to think that has very little to do with the depth perception of the cars behind us and everything to do with the sage wisdom of the ages. The objects (thoughts) that are in your mind are a direct reflection of what is coming to you. If the thought is on what is working in this physical body and subsequently expressing appreciation for that, then generating more things optimally working is closer with each sustaining thought.I often have my workshop participants do an exercise called deliberate dialoging. In a mindfulness walk through a local forest, I have them create an ongoing conversation with their highest aspirations. If they long to be on Oprah (a favorite), then they deliberately dialogue with her.
Participant: Gosh, it's so great to be in this chair, on this stage, talking with you.
Oprah: I can't tell you how much I've looked forward to having you here. Your story/book/work has had such an impact! You must hear that all the time, but it's so true. You have helped globally shift this planet to a more peaceful state and in such a unique way. Why in my own life, I often refer back to the principles/examples that you1ve shared.
Participant: Thanks! What an honor. I just kept focusing on the belief that I could do it and it happened.
Oprah: Girrrl/Mannn, you got it goin' on!
If they want a loving relationship in their life, then they deliberately dialogue with that partner.
Participant: It's so awesome sharing this walk with you. Thanks for being so thoughtful this morning and bringing me breakfast in bed. You do so much for me, so often. I just love you so much that I feel the need to find a new word for what I feel.
Desired Partner: Ditto, baby. You have been what I've prayed for, worked towards my whole life. I so appreciate you. I believe in you. Every toad ever kissed was worth it because it brought me to you. I'm in heaven.
Instead of focusing on what you don't have, start dialoging with the desire. Put your belief in its manifestation. Dialogue with prosperity. Start counting the number of leaves on a tree, cracks in the sidewalk, stars in the sky or grains of sand on the beach and soon you will tire. There is simply too many. The Universe keeps showing us that there is more than enough ; more than we could ever count. Focus on the plenty. Believe and declare that you are the center of divine attraction, the bulls-eye for every arrow of good that God can deliver. Believe in the unlimited supply and you will begin to see it. It's closer than it appears!

David Ault
Visionary Vocalist, Author & Motivational Speaker
|
 |
David Ault is highly regarded as one of the finest visionary vocalists and motivational speakers within the New Thought/transformational movement.
His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David’s charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to guest speaker of choice in many nationwide churches and global organizations.
As a licensed minister and practitioner through Religious Science International, as well as author, songwriter/recording artist, David has traveled and shared his gifts for well over fifteen years.
Working closely with notables Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson and sharing the stage with many cherished mentors ranging from the late Og Mandino to Dr. Barbara King, Jerald Jampolsky, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Father Leo Booth and Mary Manin-Morrisey, David harvested that experience and developed his own unique style of teaching. His compassionate presence, warmth and humor continue to be an unforgettable guidepost for audiences as they rediscover and reawaken to their personal magnificence.
Starting out as a professional actor and singer, David worked extensively in Broadway tour shows, film and television winning critics awards in both New York and Los Angeles.
Throughout the 1980’s, David, along with the late Jerry Florence and Keith Kimberlin made their mark in New thought history by helping pioneer an unexplored musical genre—visionary vocal music. Known as Alliance, their remarkable blend became legendary, helping establish them as one of the most successful vocal groups in the Spiritual recording field.
David continues this musical path with the release of his critically acclaimed recordings, The Healing Bridge, Travelin’ With The Angels, All Is Calm, All Is Bright, And Then It Is Morning, all distributed through his Los Angeles based organization, The Conscious Company. Now, his highly anticipated literary debut, Where Regret Cannot Find Me, is heralded as “a fresh and exciting discovery in Spiritual literature ... a work of pure heart!”
“I feel extremely blessed and grateful in following this path”, says David. “It is my ongoing intention to create a message in word and music that assists us all in reawakening to our personal magnificence!”
