Absence and Presence.

Why finances so often become the main cause

It almost doesn’t matter where you look: The topic of finances is at the top of many people’s list of causes for problems these days – often even before the topic of health.

In fact, the cause of many psychological stresses, and even some physical complaints, can often be found in the area of finance.

How can that be?

Because money is a necessity of life in today’s world. A large part of our lives revolves around work and the associated earning of money. And that’s precisely why so many fears are attached to this topic: for many people, the loss of work also means the loss of their livelihood.

Strictly speaking, this is about survival anxiety, because money is – in our society – one of the foundations for our survival. Our subconscious automatically evaluates everything you focus on as “important for survival”. Otherwise there wouldn’t be any reason to concern yourself with it. And this is precisely why this topic gains so much power in your perception.

How you can tell that fear is at work

If you notice a loss of well-being when thinking about your finances – i.e. worry, anxiety, fear or pressure – there can be many reasons for this.

Nevertheless, the most common causes can be traced back to a few core issues:

• You’re afraid of losing your source of income – in other words, your livelihood.
• You’re afraid of not earning or having enough money – now or in the future.
• You’re afraid of not being able to realize your dreams.

If you take a closer look at these causes, you will notice something crucial:

At its core, it’s always about the same thing: presence or absence.
Either money is there – or you think it won’t be there (anymore).

And this is exactly where the mechanism begins that will either lead you to freedom or into a spiral of fear.

Presence and absence: the actual mechanism

If your thoughts express absence because they are based on fear, how can you expect to detect presence in your perception?

How will you perceive Mini Cooper if you think VW Beetle inside?

That’s not just impossible – it’s illogical.

If you want to perceive presence (money, income, wealth, prosperity, opportunities), then your thoughts must also express presence. This is precisely why observations in the now are so powerful, because they express having, without separation, lack and wanting – and therefore without fear.

What happens in practice with fear of loss

If you’re afraid of losing your source of income, you are expressing fear of loss with your thoughts – in other words, absence. And because you’re already in a state of fear, this has a logical but devastating consequence:

You program your selective perception to perceive absence.

This in turn confirms your fear through the perceptions you make.

And there’s something else here that many people overlook:

If money means security for you and you think absence, you’re not only programming “absence of money”, but also absence of security into your entire thinking. This weakens your I-frequency – and therefore your inner compass.

The worst-case scenario: the protective function that sabotages you

The worst-case scenario is an age-old protective function: your subconscious plays out the “worst possible” scenario to protect you from danger.

That sounds sensible at first. However, the problem is:

If you play the worst-case scenario unconsciously and repeatedly, it becomes a program.

You think: “What if I lose my job?”
You feel: Fear.
You interpret: Threat.
You focus: Absence.
And in doing so, you program your selective perception for exactly what you don’t want to perceive: risks, uncertainty, loss.

The worst-case scenario, therefore isn’t “the truth”. It’s an alarm that tells you: “You’re thinking in absentia right now.” And if you don’t recognize this, your subconscious considers it vital for survival – and reinforces it.

Therefore, the crucial point isn’t whether a worst-case scenario is theoretically possible (theoretically almost anything is possible), but whether you make it your inner home.

The fear paradox: You want to avoid fear and that’s exactly how you create it

Here we come to the central paradox:

Many people try to avoid fear by…

• Brooding,
• control,
• plan to be “on the safe side”,
• constantly reassure yourself,
• check whether the fear is “still there”.

And this is precisely what keeps the focus on fear.

That’s the paradox:
You try to avoid fear – and constantly confirm it in the process.

Because every “I mustn’t be afraid” unconsciously contains the information: “Fear is important.”
And the subconscious reacts logically: “Then I’ll keep it present.”

The way out isn’t fighting, not control and not “more thinking”.

The way out is: honest, fear-free observation and then conscious reprogramming in the direction of being present, having and trusting.

Money is just an example: you can replace it with “X”

You can always replace money with “X”. It is completely irrelevant what it’s specifically about.

The laws of nature remain the same.

If you’re afraid of losing X or never getting X, you program your perception to do just that.

Then you shouldn’t be surprised when you “realize” that everyone else seems to have X – except you.

This is not bad luck. It’s a filter.

Separation before the event: the classic mistake

If you’re afraid of losing your source of income, you’re already in the states of separation, lack, wanting and fear – before it even happens.

Although you may even have a source of income in the present, you’re not in possession of it internally.

That’s illogical.

And it has consequences: You behave as if the loss is already a reality. Your system reacts with stress, defense, control – and you lose the ability to perceive presence.

Program presence: Gratitude isn’t romance, it’s logic

Instead of being afraid of an impending loss – which isn’t even real – you should formulate your thoughts in terms of having:

Be grateful that you have a source of income – in whatever form. Gratitude isn’t “nice” in this system, but a clear decision for presence. And presence is the prerequisite for being able to perceive presence.

And even if it’s not the source of income you’d like it to be, or it doesn’t bring in enough: it’s not about sugarcoating things. It’s about activating the state of having instead of separation.

The duality of life: you always find reasons for both

Always keep duality in mind: Everything has two sides.

There are as many reasons to think that you will lose your source of income as there are reasons to think that you won’t – or that a new opportunity will present itself.

There’s only one reason why you experience absence, loss, separation, lack and want:

Because you haven’t consciously decided to think presence and having.

The “how” and the illusion of control

If you’re worried, it’s often because you’re constantly thinking about the “how”.

In this context, “how” means control.
And control is an illusion – it arises from fear and creates fear.

Forget the “how”.

That doesn’t mean you can’t plan or develop ideas. That is something else.

The difference is crucial:

• Planning out of joy, interest, presence
• Brooding out of separation, lack, necessity

Plan and work – but without an inner “I have to, otherwise…”.
Because “otherwise…” is almost always the worst-case scenario in disguise.

Selective perception: Why success often feels like “coincidence”

When you read biographies of successful people, a pattern often emerges: “chance”, “coincidence”, “unexpected encounter”.

This is nothing more than selective perception in action:

• You perceive something that you wouldn’t perceiv otherwise.
• You act differently than you would otherwise.
• You’re in places where you wouldn’t otherwise be.
• You meet people you wouldn’t otherwise meet.
• You collect information that you wouldn’t collect otherwise.

And so everything takes a natural, logical course.

Not magical. Not by chance. Logical.

Ego death: Why the old version must die

This is a topic that scares many people – and that’s precisely why it’s so important:

If you want to change your financial reality, an old version of you has to die.

Not physically. But mentally.

The old version is the one that was born in fear:
with separation, lack, wanting, control, uncertainty, “what if…”.

And the new version is the one that lives in having:
with presence, trust, gratitude, clarity and I-frequency.

Both can’t exist at the same time.

You can’t be the new version if you think like the old version – because then your past will continue to determine your future.

This is pure logic:
Two opposing states can’t coexist. Freedom from fear can’t coexist with fear. Trust can’t coexist with non-trust. Life can’t coexist with death.

The “ego death” therefore means:

You stop confusing yourself with the old identity.
You stop believing it.
You stop serving it.

And yes: it feels like “dying” at first, because your subconscious wants stability. For it, change means uncertainty. That’s why it tries to pull you back: with doubts, worst-case scenarios, control, brooding.

You can recognize this moment by the fact that you’re standing between two worlds inside:

• The old version wants security through control.
• The new version lives security through trust.

If you give in here, the old version lives on.
If you remain conscious here, it dies – and the new version gets space.

The next thought: step by step instead of self-deception

When you replace your beliefs, one principle applies:

Find the closest thought that expresses presence and feels good.

Because only if your I-frequency remains stable or becomes stronger was the thought logically appropriate.

That’s why a 180° turnaround is often unwise: it creates inner resistance and therefore separation again.

You go rung by rung.

Examples of presence, even if it’s critical

Even if your situation is critical, you can learn to think presence and thus perceive presence:

• “I’m fine, I’m healthy.”
• “I have people who support me.”
• “I’ve made it this far.”
• “There’s always a possibility.”
• “Anything is possible.”
• “I have my free will and can decide how I think now.”
• “I can think presence now.”
• “I have endless possibilities, even if I can’t see them yet.”
• “I am ready to act.”
• “My situation is the result of my previous thinking – and that’s exactly why I can change it.”

And this is exactly where you practically resolve the fear paradox:

You don’t measure your success by whether you “already feel good”.
You measure it by whether you have taken the inspired action despite residual fear – the way you would act if you were free.

This is the moment when the old you dies:
because you no longer obey it.

Conclusion: The only logical direction

Never forget:

You can’t perceive the presence of money if you think the absence of money.

And you can’t live a new version of yourself as long as you’re feeding the old version.

The solution is not “more control”.
The solution is presence.

• Presence in your thinking (observations in the now).
• Presence in your feeling (I-frequency as a compass).
• Presence in your actions (inspired action instead of brooding).

Then your selective perception will begin to let through what previously “accidentally” passed you by.

And suddenly it seems as if “life has changed”.

In truth, you have changed the cause.

And then the effect must follow.

This is how you program a new belief system on the subject of finance:

Note: Use the tutorial worksheet to identify, define and program your beliefs .

It’s important that you use your own words and expressions! Write the way you think!

1. Get into your I-frequency – think of someone you love or something you love.

2. Think about your finances, your prospects, your income, etc. Observehow you feel, e.g. when you think about these topics. How does your I-frequency react?

Your I-frequency becomes weaker:

7

3. If you’re not feeling well or your I-frequency is weakening, you’ve identified an unfavorable belief. This belief relates to a specific area or topic of your finances. Identify which area/topic it’s about and analyze the thoughts of your belief. How else do you express absence, separation, lack, wanting or other derivatives of fear in relation to this area? Identify the words you use to express worry, uncertainty, insecurity, lack of trust, etc.

Note these thoughts under 1. in the worksheet.

This section describes how you’ve thought so far.

4. Now, for your new belief, define thoughts that express a presence of abundance or the benefits of having lots of money. How can you think about your finances and money in general in a way that makes you feel good and have a strong I-frequency? Formulate thoughts that match your level: Statements that you can think and feel without resistance, i.e. your I-frequency remains constant or improves. Don’t aim too high if it doesn’t feel right.

Note these thoughts (as bullet points) under 5.

This area describes how you want to think now.

Continue at point 5. here.

7

5. Next, formulate how you want to feel when you think about your finances and write it down under 2.

6. Then formulate what you would like to perceive regarding your finances (financial situation) and write it down under 3.

7. Now combine the points 2. and 3. into a single statement (can consist of several sentences!) and write them down under 4.

8. Combine your statement 4. with the newly defined ideas / content 5. into your new belief (also as a statement!). Write it down under 6.

9. Write down your belief in as many places as possible. Write small pieces of paper and put them all over your house. Write the belief in a notebook and keep it with you at all times. The point is to remind yourself of your new belief as often as possible. You can also make yourself thought aids, such as small colorful sticky dots to stick everywhere. Be creative!

10. Think this new belief exclusively! Think it as often as possible, e.g. every time you think about your finances, when you buy something, or when you notice that your I-frequency is getting weaker because you’re worried about your income. Whenever the topic of finances and money is relevant.

11. You should act! Start and stay disciplined until your new belief is programmed and you notice that something changes in your finances. Observe not only whether you have more money at your disposal, but also whether more opportunities, contacts or possibilities present themselves to you – everything that could ultimately lead you to money!

Check your I-frequency regularly and correct your beliefs if necessary.

12. Complete further tests with the corresponding tutorials, as everything is connected and your skills influence each other. It’s therefore very important that you work on all your skills and achieve a high level of proficiency.

Your I-frequency shows you where there is still a need for action.

Listen to it!
