In this live Abundance Class, the presenter (Ash Exantus) opens by acknowledging a shoulder injury that prevents him from turning on his camera, but reaffirms his commitment to the weekly Saturday sessions. He frames abundance as an ever‑flowing birthright, explaining that achieving one goal simply opens the door to new desires. The core teaching challenges the popular notion of "manifesting"—the speaker argues that trying to manifest keeps people focused on lack, creates resistance, and ultimately prevents results. He emphasizes that true manifestation occurs when one is already aligned with the desired state: adopting the habits, mindset, and daily choices of a healthy, wealthy, or joyful person. He illustrates the importance of focus with the law of attraction principle "what you resist will persist" and the metaphor of red‑tinted sunglasses, showing how a poverty‑oriented mindset filters reality. The talk concludes with a call to shift from manifesting to aligning, an invitation to join the Abundance Community (website, weekly classes, workbooks, office‑hour Q&A), and a thank‑you to viewers.

All right, so hopefully you guys can still hear me in the Zoom. Yes? Yes, yes. All right, perfect, perfect, perfect. All right, so Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody to the abundance class for Saturday. Um, oh wait, hold on. So now let me just make sure I go back to my Zoom because I don't wanna, um, I don't want to be able to hear it. All right, so, but, uh, so, well, so welcome to, uh, the abundance class. Um, I don't even know what date today was. It may— what's today? Uh, May 7th? Yes. 7th. All right. Uh, so welcome to the Abundance Class, uh, for May 7th, uh, 2022. Um, I don't have my camera on today, uh, because I had a slight injury in my, in my shoulder. Um, and as I heal, it's, it's hard for me to, uh, I have to lay down and it's hard for me to hold the shoulder up and so I can't turn my camera on. But I did want to honor my commitment to be present and be available every Saturday at 9 AM Eastern time. And each week we have a message, we have something that I want to, you know, help you as, as we're all striving to live in the abundance that is our birthright. And the great thing about abundance is that abundance is forever, right? Abundance keeps going. So even if you set a goal to say, you know what, I want to, you know, make 6 figures this year, and then you reach that 6 figures, then your mind is going to actually open up. And then there'll be a new desire. I mean, when that new desire comes, then you know, that, you know, you'll be on that journey towards that new desire. And that's just how abundance works, right? Because I, because I always thought that, you know, I'll set these goals, right? Like, oh, you know, I want to, you know, I want to, I want to move out, you know, I want to move out of the hood, or I want to get my own place, or I want to be a homeowner, or, you know, I want to buy a car, or I want a promotion at work. And then once you got, you know, once I got those things, then there was, you know, it became a different, you know, a different vision. And then when I got that vision, it became something else. And the journey that I'm on now, you know, there's a finish line, if you will, for that particular journey. But then there's something, you know, something bigger, you know. And so keep that in mind as you think about, you know, abundance. But today's abundance class is about manifestation. And the reason why I want to talk about manifestation is because a lot of times we start hearing words, hearing phrases, hearing things that we believe we know the answer to, or we know what they mean, and we use them, you know, so often it becomes like a you know, become like a fad, if you will. It becomes something that's popular that everybody's saying, like, I'm, I'm gonna manifest, you know, you know, the, the body that I want, or I'm gonna manifest the relationship, or I'm gonna manifest the money, I'm gonna manifest the business. And I just want to say today, and this was, this was on my heart, but I wanted to say today that it is imperative that we stop trying to manifest. Right? I'll say that again. It is imperative, like effective immediately, I need us to stop trying to manifest. And the reason why I want you to stop trying to manifest is because, you know, manifestation in itself is really, is really the act of living out, you know, in real life what you see in your mind, right? So if, if, if I thought about, you know, a book, let's say, and I thought about the book, I knew, you know, I, I knew the title, I said, this is the book I want, and then I go to work and I start putting the, the necessary work that is required, uh, for me to actually, uh, produce that book. At the end of that, I have manifested a book, right? But the truth of the matter is that the manifestation is not just in the mind. The manifestation has to come through the action that I took in order to allow the book to be produced, right? And so, you know, same thing for, you know, you know, your body, right? If you're, if you're looking at your body and you're saying to yourself, well, I want to manifest a better body, the truth of the matter is that you cannot manifest a better body without putting in the action that is required for you to have a better body, right? And so if you, you know, are, you know, overweight or you're not your ideal weight, you know, you could think about the body that you want, you could visualize the body that you want, you could Photoshop your head on the body that you want, but the truth of the matter is that if you do not get into a space— Right. Right? If you do not get into a space in which you are eating the right foods and having the right amount of exercise in your life, then you're not, you're not gonna reach that, that goal that you, you know, you, you, you have set. And that's the other thing, right? When we start thinking about, you know, how the law of attraction works, right? The law of attraction says what you resist will persist, right? And I'll say that again, right? What you resist will persist. That's why, you know, there's always two sides of every coin, right? There's joy, there's pain, there's happiness, there's sadness, there's up and there's down, there's, you know, big and there's small, there's, there's wet and there's dry. So there's always two sides of every coin. And so what happens is that, you know, God, the universe, Buddha, Allah, you know, does not, does not understand yes or no, does not understand yes or no, right? And what I mean, I mean that you can't negate something or affirm something. You really just get what you focus on. And so if somebody is saying, I am tired of being broke, then you can't really— like, in your mind you might think that, you know, you're affirming wealth, but in fact what you're doing is you're calling brokenness to you because you're affirming broke, right? The focus is on broke. The focus is not on wealth. The focus is on broke. And so if you're like, I don't, you know, I don't want to be broke anymore, right? You're still affirming broke, broke, broke, because that's what's in your mind. But if somebody who is, you know, affirming wealth, you know, wealth, the focus should be on wealth, right? The focus should be on, you know, I'm looking forward to my wealth. I am wealth. You know, I'm thankful for my current wealth, right? Like even as I told y'all earlier about my shoulder, you know, my focus is not on the pain that, you know, that I'm in. It's really focused on, you know, getting into a space of, you know, enjoying, you know, health in my shoulder, right? So it's really the— what I'm focused— what I'm focusing on is healing. What I'm focusing on is the positive aspects of what I would like. Because again, everything has a negative. Everything, you know, if there's an up, then there's a down. If there's a good, then there's a bad. If there's a wet, then there's a dry, you know? And so it's really about, you know, really understanding that, yes, there's always, always, always, always 2 sides of the coin. But how do you make sure that you're focusing on the right side of the coin, right? And so that, that, that brings me back to, you know, my, my thought process as it relates to manifestation, right? And resistance. When, when you're, when, when you're trying to manifest, that's why Today's abundance class is about not, not, you know, getting out of the space of manifestation. Stop trying to manifest, right? Because when you get into the space of trying to manifest, you're trying to manifest because of a lack of something, right? Like nobody is going to try to get anything that they, that they already have, right? And so think about that concept. If you already have a big house, then you're not trying to manifest a good house. If you are trying to, you know, you know, if you want a relationship, you know, or if you're looking for a relationship, you might be in a current relationship or don't have a relationship, but you want a better one because you're focusing on what you don't have, right? And what happens is, again, the rule, the rule applies when you focus on what you don't have. you will, you will, you know, get— you will continue to experience that in which you focus on. And so the truth of the matter is that anytime anybody wants anything in their life, the only thing you have to do, the only thing, there's only one thing you have to do in order to get anything or truly manifest something in your life. And the only thing you have to do is be aligned with the thing. That's it, right? There just has to be alignment. So So stop trying to manifest, just be in alignment. And so if you want to— if you want a better body, you have to be in alignment with a better body, right? You have to be in alignment with health. And what is it— what does it mean to be in alignment with health? In alignment with health means that the choices that you make are those of a healthy person, right? The choices that you make are those of a healthy person. If someone is healthy, then they focus on, you know, what foods they put in their mouth, how often they work out, right? Like what they feed their mind, right? A healthy person, you know, it is a healthy person. Don't miss that. A healthy person is a healthy person. Meaning that They don't have to attract— or I mean, they don't have to try to manifest health because they are, right? They are healthy persons. A rich person is a rich person. Like, what is that? That don't make no sense, Ash. A rich person— if you are rich, then you have the habits of what it is to be rich, right? And so the habits that you have that make— the habits that a rich person has is what makes them rich. is not the manifestation of it. It's not, you know, wishing on it. It's really just doing, you know, it's just— and honestly, I'll take that back. It's really not doing, it's really just being, right? And so once you are what you desire in your being, that's how you become aligned with it. And once you're aligned with it, that's what allows the manifestation to come. Right? And so I want us to, you know, you know, stop focusing on manifestation. Let's focus on alignment, right? When you look at money, you know, because, because the goal of the abundance class is not high level, you know, you know, just, just metamorphosis type of thing. Like, this is a practical guide, right, for us to really live in abundance. live in abundance massively, mentally, and monetarily, right? When I say live in abundance, I'm talking about money, right? I'm talking about money, I'm talking about mindset, I'm talking about anything you've ever thought about. I want you to be able to experience that. And so I'm not— this ain't one of those, well, just be grateful. Nope, because abundance is our birthright. We were promised abundance, right? But the only way to live in that abundance is to be— is to be aligned, right? Be aligned with love, be aligned with wealth, be aligned with good health, be aligned with happiness, be aligned with joy, right? When you are a happy person, you attract happy, happy situations, period. When you— when you— when you're bitter, then everything you see is bitter, right? Imagine, imagine walking through life with a pair of red sunglasses, right? The tints are red, right? Imagine walking through life with a pair of red-tinted sunglasses. Guess what happens, right? Guess what happens to everything that you see? Everything that you see, right? Everything that you see will be red, right? Everything that you see will be red. And so you want to make sure that you are, right? If you're walking around with a poverty consciousness, then guess what's going to happen? You're going to see poverty, right? You're going to see poverty. You're going to see lack, right? You're going to see things missing. But if you walk around with an abundant mindset, you walking around with you know, knowing that abundance is your birthright, then everything that you're going to see is abundant, right? You're going to know that the good, the bad, the ugly, everything is working in your favor, right? I never, I never look at a situation and say, man, this situation sucks, you know? You know why? Because I, you know, I am abundance. And so I know in some way, shape, form, or fashion, whether I see it now or not, I know that this situation is going to help bless my life. And so I just wanted to leave that message for you guys on this Saturday abundance class. Again, excuse me not being on camera because I'm literally in pain, you know, but, you know, physically, but mentally I'm healed. And so, you know, I'm, you know, dealing with that.
