Klaus Joehle was out of work and broke. He'd studied ''creation spirituality'' for years, but kept meeting a blank wall when it came to his true heart's desire: to make money through gambling on the sports lottery!
He was disappointed with all the spiritual advice he received, because everybody told him it was not okay to try to win the lottery using spiritual power, and anyway, it wouldn't work — and yet nobody could tell him why.
Then one day, an angel (yup, a full-scale, in-your-face angel) showed up and began teaching Klaus how he could project into the future and read winning lottery tickets in future newspapers. There was one prerequisite, though, and it was not optional: Everything he did had to be based upon ''sending Love.''
The story of what happened (Klaus is pretty well off now and he never did return to work) is in his book Living on Love (see livingonlove.com). And we're going to spend a lot more time talking with Klaus Joehle in the pages of the Spirit of Ma'at, especially in our upcoming July issue on ''Money and Prosperity Consciousness.''
Here, he talks to us briefly about ''sending Love'' as a tool for working with the difficulties of raising a child.

When I was growing up, there was something about me that no one seemed to understand. Frankly, I didn't understand it myself. It was as confusing to me as it was to everyone else. I had some kind of built-in defense mechanism that made me reject almost everything that society was trying to teach me.
In no way was I trying to be a rebel. I remember this very clearly. But something in me would not allow me to accept things the way society or the people around me saw them.
This type of perception is certainly not unheard-of throughout history. When children did not accept the old ways, in time this would bring about change. But just as our world is changing at an increasing rate, it seems that this attitude on the part of children has been growing at an overwhelming rate over the last eight to ten years. What was acceptable and workable at one time no longer serves the purpose. Not everything from the past is outdated, but there seems to be something set up in many children today that makes them just flatly reject almost everything.
I don't really know what causes this phenomenon, and though I have my theories, what's most important to me is how to deal with it.
I have my own 17-year-old teacher, and unfortunately, as much as I see a purpose for what I call his ''defensive mechanism,'' it can be very frustrating. Many times talking to my son about issues or certain things or even asking him to do something can be quite a challenge. Sometimes I'm just not up to it. This is where ''sending Love'' comes in extremely handy.
What I do is this: I sit down, close my eyes, and spend five minutes relaxing, and then five minutes sending Love directly to my son — surrounding him with Love and filling him with Love to the point where he begins to glow.
Now at this point I either make a suggestion mentally, or I mentally ask him to do something. I do this very lightly and only as a suggestion while I'm sending Love. Then I leave it and very, very seldom ever verbally mention it unless it's extremely urgent.
The amazing thing is, it just happens — either he makes the change, or ends up doing what I suggested. What's really interesting is that it doesn't work without sending Love.
If there is something important that I need to talk to him about and I feel that there will be resistance, then I spend ten minutes sending Love first. It makes all the difference in the world.
This not only works on children but with everyone.
Sometimes when I mention doing this, people get concerned that there is some kind of mind control. But that's not the case. It is a matter of Love. I have found through my experience with sending Love that if you send enough Love and make a loving suggestion — without conditions or defined expectations — what you want will smilingly sit in your lap. Again, without sending the unconditional Love first, it does not work. There's no way to make people think the way we do — but where there is Love, there is a balance.
Let's face it, raising children is a challenge even on the best of days, but the more tools we have available, the more success we will likely have.
In the final analysis, don't listen to others' words. Listen to the messages that they inspire within you — the messages that come from yourself.
