    Barry Alder

    For many years I have been interested in and studying the Law of Attraction with regards to wealth. Some people swear by it, but my experience, and that of many others, has been less successful.  This is the reason I decided to really explore why the Law of Attraction sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. What my years of research in this area have shown me is that there is a direct link between what you subconsciously believe and what your success will be in applying the Law of Attraction. What I found is that this profound link impacts your daily experience in everything you do, especially when it comes to your wealth goals. It also led me to develop an easily useable method that would be beneficial for everyone. My goal is to impart this knowledge and experience to you to help you bring more wealth into your life. I am a Reiki Master, a certified hypnotherapist, Psych-K practitioner, and a student of many spiritual beliefs.  I am also a published author of a number of science fiction and spiritual stories. I have had a long career in the IT industry as a Systems Administrator/Analyst, have given many technical talks and written numerous technical papers. Some of my personal interests are writing, world travel, photography and scuba diving. http://www.barryalder.com http://mydreamfulfilled.com

He watched the last remnants of the setting sun, a glorious bright orange display reflecting off the distant grey storm clouds, belying the pending violence, and wished for even a slight breeze, something that would physically cool him, and emotionally hint that change was possible. It would be cooler inside, but he wanted, no needed, to gauge the night. The heavy air was still now, but the gathering storm clouds and the virtually continuous flash of lightning in the distance foreshadowed the coming monsoon-like rains, a deluge that would tax their protective field generators and signal the planet’s final violence against their presence here.

      The water directly below the balcony was smooth, almost glass-like, except for
