To Get Your Desire……….Feel……….”As If”

The answer to your question is fourfold: vision, intent, faith, gratitude. I thought I would head you off at the pass on this one. I will get to the question later in this post.

Today’s post is about the one thing that should be at the top of your list as to what to learn about manifesting. It is the concept of feeling as if you already have that which you desire. I am going to give an overview of the concept in this post but if you wish to study it in depth, I refer you to the writings of the sage Neville Goddard.

You are soverign. That means that despite whatever circumstances or events are occuring now in your life, you and only you get to choose how you feel inside. Despite whoever you are regularly interacting with in your daily activities, you and only you get to choose how you feel inside. Despite the time of day or night, despite sunshine or rain, despite any driver on the road, despite any loss or any gain, you and only you get to choose how you feel inside. There is no such thing as “he made me so mad” or “she really knows how to push my buttons”. You choose…..every time…..all the time. Just how you choose to feel makes up the very content of your life.

When you initiate a thought of desiring something, being a child of God, the Universal Mind immediately sends the object of your desire on its way to you. The subconscious mind, which is your connection to God, goes to work at once to create what you desire in keeping with what is seen as your true belief. By “true belief” is meant how do you really, and I mean really, feel inside about your chosen desire. Doubt immediately sends the object of your desire on a detour. Is your desire merely a daydream or “a wish and a sigh”. Do you feel you want it but that it is out of reach based on past happenings in your life or what you have observed in the lives of others or what others have told you. Do you feel that it is within reach but you are not there yet. Do you feel that it is a possibility for you and you will get it someday. Or…..do you choose to feel…..inside of your self….that it is yours now…..right now. If you chose the last option, then you have entered the doorway of the room of life’s treasures. Help yourself to whatever you want.

Holy scripture states, “And all things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.” Can it get any clearer than that?! It does not say all things you beg for or whine for or hope for but don’t want to be disappointed if things don’t pan out for you. Scripture says in no uncertain terms, “whatsoever”, which means everything and anything. There is a very crucial catch however to the equation. You have to believe inside that you already have it. That is the tragic stumbling block for the vast majority of human beings.

Now, to get to the question associated with the answer denoted in the first paragraph, it is quite simply, “How can I get myself to that point where I feel inside as if I already have that which I desire? Four facets to engage are: (1) create a crystal clear vision of your desire; (2) fire up within you a ferocious intent as far as having it; (3) completely trust that Universal Intelligence has lovingly provided it for you in the best way; (4) express and demonstrate gratitude for your desire being fulfilled. In future posts, we will discuss this concept further.

Want Something?……….Go Take A Bath

You want to improve your reality. I want to improve my reality. All God’s children want to improve their reality. One course of action on your part that can add power to any manifesting technique or techniques is for you to take a daily bath…..a gratitude bath that is. Start with your body, gratitude for everything that is working right with it. Then move to everything else, anything else, your shelter, means of transportation, food, water, electric power, your toothbrush, whatever. Spend a good ten minutes a day bathing yourself in gratitude. It raises your energy vibration which in turn raises your personal power to manifest. Plus, it feels good.

You may say “yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve heard that bs before. Count your blessings and all that crap.” Well, if you work past an initial negative response on your part, you will discover, to your delight, that an earnest feeling of thankfulness for whatever it is that you do have, will yield you concrete benefit, sometimes sooner, sometimes later. Gratitude will, in turn, attract something else for you to be grateful for and so on. Think of it as a sort of nuclear chain reaction.

You may ask about those that are suffering, in pain, infirm, homeless, grieving, etc. How can you be thankful when bad things happen? That is a very valid point. You would have to have a divine perspective to know precise reasons why the world has so much negative stuff going on and why the innocent suffer. I hate suffering anywhere. Nevertheless, the power of gratitude is a universal law. It is immutable and eternal whether we subscibe to it or not.

Regarding gratitude from those that have suffered misfortune, two things come to mind…..Helen Keller and Sachsenhausen. Helen Keller, one of the most amazing human beings of the twentieth century, at the age of nineteen months became blind, deaf and without the ability to speak as a result of illness. Can’t see…Can’t hear…Can’t talk. You are only a kid. Not a good combination. Without going into the full life story of Helen Keller, she became known worldwide as an author, lecturer (yes, she taught herself to speak) and advocate for the blind and downtrodden. Helen Keller herself once gave the following statement, ” I thank God for my handicaps, for through them I found my true self, my life’s work and my God”.

The second thing that comes to mind is an anecdote related by a Holocaust survivor of the dreaded Sachsenhausen nazi concentration camp. An inmate was observed praying. Another inmate asked him afterward as to what he was praying about. The first inmate said he was giving thanks to God. Dumbfounded, the second inmate exclaimed what the hell could he possibly be thanking God for in this “God-forsaken hellhole.” The first inmate calmly explained that he was thanking God that he did not become like his tormentors.

What did he mean? Even though Jews were being starved, brutalized and murdered at the hands of the Germans, the nazi thugs had not taken away his inner self. He found thankfulness in knowing that he still retained his humanity inside and was in fact, the one who was truly free while his deparaved captors were the ones actually enslaved in darkness. Even in such horrific circumstances, he found gratitude that the brutal surroundings did not succeed in taking away who he was inside as a human being.

Go take a bath.

17 Seconds of Your Life

Photo of watch for post on The Manifest Cookbook website

“I’m too busy, maybe later.” “I just don’t have time for that now.” ” Can’t they see I’m juggling a half dozen things now as it is?” “Sorry, I’ve got too much on my plate.” “All jammed up now, can’t talk.” “Estoy demasiado ocupado.” We say these types of words to ourselves (or to others) on a regular basis. What it means is that whatever it is that you’re too busy for, is just lower on your personal scale of importance. You place a higher priority on whatever it is that you are doing. The higher the priority to you, the more you are going to spend your time on that activity. For example, if you are under water without an oxygen tank, are you going to say, “Air? I’m too busy for that right now! Maybe later.” Unless you are trying to drown yourself, you are going to get your ass to the surface and fill your lungs with air…priority # 1.

Are you too busy to devote seventeen seconds to living the life you deserve…a life of creating your own reality so that it is something that gives you peace, power, joy, fulfillment and every other good thing that you can possibly think of? If you are too busy, then please stop reading this immediately and go do whatever it is that you do. If you are willing to begin with an initial investment of seventeen seconds, then read on.

Your life is molded by the daily vibration of your inner energy. It really is. The higher the vibration, the more you magnetize to you the things that you desire. Luck, fate, events, circumstances, the weather, where you live, your rich Aunt Clarabelle, the shirt that you’re wearing are all secondary to that vibrational rate of your life energy. Vibrate high…get good stuff. Vibrate low…get crap.

Start today to vibrate your energy higher. It only takes seventeen seconds to create an energy linkage with whatever you want in life. Seventeen seconds is a start. The longer the linkage in terms of time, the stronger the attraction to you of all types of good things. Step out of whatever you are doing and step into a pool of “feeling good” about something for just seventeen seconds. Practice with a timer or stopwatch. When you have seventeen seconds down pat, move on to a little longer. You really do have the time..unless making your life better is just not that important to you.

WTH Do You Really Want Anyway?!

Just exactly what the hell is it that you want anyway? Money? Love? Good health? A fulfilling job? Being able to help a loved one? Let me introduce you to an acronym for the five major areas of living that I call MR. CHI. In traditional Chinese culture, chi is said to be the vital life force of a person and the ultimate measure of a person’s vitality. MR. CHI represents the five basic areas of living that touch every single human being on the planet.

1. M = Money (a necessary tool for aspects of living)

2. R = Relationships (with God, with yourself, with your loved ones, with your friends, with people you would rather avoid, with jerks, with your neighbors, with strangers, with nature, and so on)

3. C = Career (the type of work you do or the interests you passionately pursue)

4. H = Health (your good health in mind, in body, in spirit)

5. I = Intercession (how effective you are in helping others you wish to help)

If you step back and look closely at those five aspects of MR CHI, they pretty much encompass everything that you could desire for yourself in your lifetime.

In my own life, I have been 100% successful in getting what I wanted in all five areas of MR. CHI to the extent that I have faithfully and confidently applied my own recipes to what I was going after. Where I have sabotaged myself is when I made the choice inside myself to allow fears and doubts and resentments to creep in and start calling the shots (they are persistent and nasty critters), thus setting myself up for a fall. It is my firm intention to do what I need to do to manifest only positive results in my life right on up to that final moment when the last breath of life leaves my body. I can tell you this without any hesitation — successfully manifesting what you want is an exciting and fulfilling lifestyle (and sure as hell beats effing up).

We all manifest. Way too many people manifest a reality that brings them disappointment, discouragement and depression. In posts to come, we will explore manifesting your reality regarding all five areas of MR. CHI – money, relationships, career, health and intercession on behalf of others.

Peace.
