Destiny of the Soda Guy

The Soda Guy

Earlier this year I was driving in Burlington county and decided to pull in to the parking lot of a Wawa convenience store in order to get something to eat and drink. After making my purchase, I got into my vehicle which was parked by the front door of the store. As many customers of this particular store do, I sat in my car eating my sandwich, casually observing those entering and exiting the store.

One man in particular caught my attention. He was a young man who appeared to be in his twenties. He was portly but not excessively obese. The man wore a brimmed “captains’ hat” with an anchor insignia in the front. He rode up to the front of the store riding an older type bicycle. It was the type without any gears to shift. It looked somewhat like the bike that Pee Wee Herman rode in the movie Pee Wee’s Great Adventure.

He got off his bike, leaned it against the the front wall of the store and entered the store. When he exited the store, he was carrying three bottles of soda. One was a one liter bottle. The other two bottles were twenty ouncers. His bike had no basket so I wondered how he was going to carry the bottles and ride his bike. Walking over to his bike, he placed the three bottles on the flat top of the store’s metal waste and recycling container. Next, he opened the bottle of the one liter soda and proceeded to drink the entire contents. Then he proceeded to gulp down the contents of the other two bottles.

A Bottle of Spring Water

After finishing the third bottle of soda, he walked back into the store. Within a few minutes, he came back out carrying a half liter bottle of spring water. He stuck it in his pants pocket, got on his bicycle, and rode out of the lot onto Route 38. I continued to observe him until he rode out of sight, giving him the nickname of “The Soda Guy”.

For the remainder of the day, my thoughts lingered over my observation of Soda Guy. I conjured up a scenario in my mind based on my observations. The young man was born with some challenges with regard to his mental processes. He probably lived with his parents who monitored and controlled his soda intake for health reasons. He told his parents/caregiver that he was going to the Wawa store to buy some spring water. While there, he had the opportunity to guzzle soda. He had to drink it at the store because he could not bring it home.

What Is His Destiny In Life?

There is a special place in my heart for those who go through their lifetime here on earth dealing with certain congenital challenges. Nature dealt them a raw hand at birth. Nevertheless, like the rest of the eight billion humans on this planet, they were born into this world with something specific to achieve – a destiny. Perhaps the destiny of Soda Guy is to be a teacher. A teacher of the importance of expressing the divine quality of compassion and kindness and sacrificial love on behalf of a soul who cannot survive on his own.

The Electric Tricycle Guy

Not long after my observation of Soda Guy, I observed Electric Tricycle Guy. It was raining lightly in the morning as I set out for my place of employment. As I got into my car and started it up, in my rear view mirror, I saw a man riding in the middle of the street in a three wheeled adult-sized electric bike. It had a big basket on the back. As he rode past me in the direction that I was headed, I drove slowly at a distance behind him. The street we were on came to a “T intersection”. The man stopped at the stop sign and patiently waited until it was safe to go, oblivious to the rain. His rain jacket had a hood but he was not using it. He then crossed over to the opposite side of the intersecting street. Going up a driveway, he continued riding, now on the sidewalk.

As I made my turn in my car, and drove past him. I got a good look at the man. In some way that I am unable to explain, I intuitively knew that Electric Tricycle Guy was another soul similar to Soda Guy. Perhaps it was the sudden wave of compassion running through me that I felt. I only saw his face for a couple seconds but there was something that told me that Electric Tricycle Guy also had to deal with mental challenges that the average person does not have to deal with.

What Is Destiny?

There are those that define your destiny as that which is preordained to occur in your life. The Oxford Language Dictionary actually has two different definitions for the meaning of the word destiny. The first is “the events that will necessarily happen to a particular person or thing in the future”. The second is “the hidden power to control what will happen in the future”. Looking at those two definitions, the second one appears to be the more accurate of the two.

We all come into this world with a purpose. You, me, our loved ones, Soda Guy, Electric Tricycle Guy, everyone. It may be different purposes at different phases of our lifetime. There are specifics that we came here to accomplish. These specifics are your destiny. You can endeavor to understand and fulfill your destiny. Or you can make the choice to ignore your true destiny and go off your true life path. You make the choice. It’s up to you.

You Have A Unique Destiny

Your destiny encompasses the full use of your skills and abilities to be, to learn, to teach, to grow, to create, to experience, to accomplish that which was planned before you entered the world. You perceive your true destiny through asking Divine Intelligence emanating from the Kingdom of God within you. Ask with a humble heart. It will assuredly be revealed to you. It will be something that you are able to do with what you have to work with, wherever you happen to be.

Every single person in the world has a unique destiny. That includes humans born with all types of congenital challenges. Every life is different with regard to that life’s destiny.

United States – Manifest Destiny

Sometimes, entire countries manifest their destiny. After the United States won its independence from Great Britain, it slowly moved west across the continent. After purchasing the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in 1803, the idea of “Manifest Destiny” started taking root in the American psyche. The concept of Manifest Destiny was that it was the destiny of the United States to stretch all the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. And by 1850, that is precisely what occurred. Once the idea of Manifest Destiny was thought of as a reality waiting to happen, that idea took on an energy of its own. Americans would not rest, could not rest, until this destiny was fulfilled.

You Are The One To Manifest Your Destiny……YOU

You may confuse destiny with fate. You may say, “Well, it seems like it’s my fate to _________________.” Fate essentially refers to the notion that your life follows a fixed, inevitable course. On the other hand, destiny refers to the notion that you came into this world, this dimension, to fulfill specific experiences and achievements. You, and only you, make the choice of your path in life. You can choose to pursue your destiny or you can choose not to pursue your destiny.

Make no mistake about it. You are the one to manifest your destiny, whatever it may be. You choose to make use of your skills and abilities to accomplish your destiny. Or you can use your skills and abilities pursuing that which lies outside of your true destiny.

From personal experience, I can tell you this. There is no diversion or activity on your part that you could possibly spend your life on that even comes close to bringing you the fulfillment and inner joy that you feel manifesting your life’s destiny. Dear reader, do you understand? Your true destiny is the only reason that you are here.

Be Still And Listen

So how do you discern what your true destiny is? Be still and listen. Listen closely to what Emmet Fox called the Presence of God. Just shut the eff up. Go within to the Kingdom of God. Ask for guidance, then just listen. If you are sincere about really desiring to understand what your true destiny is, you will most assuredly be guided to it. It will be as if there is a universal magnet inexorably drawing you to your unique destiny. A destiny that is meant for you and you alone. You will then feel and believe that your life is worthwhile because you are doing what it is you were always meant to do. When you discern your true destiny, you will know. At that juncture in your life, you will feel as if you are asleep each day unless you are taking some small step (however small it may be) in the direction of fulfilling your destiny.

Ditch The Fake You

At Halloween and at masquerade parties, masks can be fun to wear as you portray this, that or the other as part of the playful respite from the workaday routine. One of the saddest and most tragic happenstances of human society is never taking the masks off as you live your life. You may choose to wear different masks all throughout your lifetime here. Wear this mask for this person or group. Wear that mask for that person or group. Why? To be liked. To be loved. To get ahead. To get money. To manipulate others. To feel secure. To assuage your fears. There are literally dozens of reasons why masks are worn. And it is so very unnecessary. Go within to the Kingdom of God within you, to the true you.

To manifest your life as you desire it to be, take off the damn masks. Center yourself. Practice focusing on the Presence of God. Continuing to wear the masks will only result in you being held back from your true destiny. Eliminate the masks. Once you ditch the fake you, something beautiful will begin to happen. You will begin to experience the beauty and joy of true freedom. Once you begin to live in the freedom of the Kingdom of God, you will never go back. You will look back, shake your head, and think “Why did I waste any part of my precious life wearing masks?”

Your Very Last Day Of Life

When your very last day of life comes, as it must for all of us, you will ask yourself two questions. As you lay in your hospital bed or perhaps in hospice care or wherever that event takes place, you will ask yourself – What was your true destiny? Did you achieve your destiny?

It does not take a great deal of imagination to picture your inner disappointment if your answers to those two questions are poor. My wish for you (and myself) is to avoid suffering that inner disappointment, both as you lay dying as well as later during your life review in the next realm. On that very last day it will then be too late to do anything more. Too late to fulfill why you were born and why you lived. The time to work on those two questions is right now.

Use What You Have, Wherever You Are

To manifest your reality is part and parcel of fulfilling your destiny as a child of God. Use what you have, wherever you happen to be. Believe. Believe as the penniless widow did in the biblical book of Second Kings. God’s prophet Elisha told the widow, who was buried deeply in debt, to borrow as many vessels (large jars) as she possibly could. She was told to put the vessels around her and shut the door of her house. (Big symbolism there). As instructed, she then took the small amount of olive oil that she had in the house and began pouring it into the first vessel. She kept pouring and pouring until every one of the multitude of vessels were filled to the brim with olive oil. She then sold the oil, paid all her debts and had enough funds left over from the sale of the oil to live on.

A Rather Big Manifestation

Recently I was working on a rather big manifestation. It was something that I was persevering with for a considerable amount of time. It had a number of moving parts to it. While being close to its realization, I asked Divine Intelligence for guidance to “get over the hump” so to speak. The Holy Spirit instructed me to proceed along a certain avenue. It was a path that I definitely would not have taken if left to my own devices, because of my own personal preference. There was nothing intrinsically wrong with that particular avenue. I just wanted the manifestation to come about in a different way. With manifestations however, you must have an open mind and an unclenched heart. Understand that you may receive your desire via a totally unexpected route. I finally relented (I am a stubborn SOB at times) and followed the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God. The result: the manifestation was fully realized with a few synchronicities thrown in for good measure.

Free Yourself From The Man Behind The Curtain

The Wizard of Oz

According to the United States Library of Congress, the film, “The Wizard Of Oz”, is the most watched film in movie history. It has become an iconic film. Almost everyone knows the story of Dorothy, her dog Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion. And of course, the man behind the curtain, the Wizard of Oz. If you don’t know the story, I cordially invite you to watch the movie. It is delightful. To be concise, I will skip directly to the part of the movie that I wish to discuss.

Dorothy and her companions are successful in obtaining the broomstick of the Wicked Witch. The leader of Emerald City, the Wizard of Oz, had made that a condition of granting the individual wishes of all four. The Wizard resided in an emerald palace. All that was seen of him was a large ghastly face. He spoke in a booming voice. When he spoke, his voice was accompanied by thunder, smoke and fire. It was very impressive and intimidating, inspiring fear in those who heard and saw him.

As Dorothy and companions present the broomstick to the Wizard, in his booming intimidating voice, he brusquely orders them to go away and come back tomorrow. As he is talking, Dorothy’s dog runs over to a curtain that covers a booth. With his teeth, the dog pulls open the curtain. This reveals a man with gray hair, about seventy years old or so, pulling levers and switches and talking into a microphone. The voice of the Wizard tells them to “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”. But the facade has already been torn down. The truth has been exposed. There is no wizard. There is only an elderly gent who was able to fool everybody through crafty subterfuge.

At the end of the movie, it is shown that the things that the four of them desired was already within them. The Wizard turned out to just be another Bernie Madoff.

The Wizards Of This World

In this world that you live in, there are plenty of wizards that have nothing better to do but to control every facet of your life. The control starts as soon as you are born. Yes, your very first controllers are your parents and relatives. That may seem a harsh statement. It really isn’t. They are, of course, the most loving of your controllers. Your lack of ability to care for yourself mandates that they exercise control in order to keep you safe and help you to learn while you grow up to adulthood.

The problem arises with parents who are carrying around their own unresolved issues. The effect of these issues may act to the detriment of the child. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the various errors that parents may make. When parents, either consciously or unconsciously, exercise this type of negative control over a child, it acts as an obstacle to the child developing fully in the joy and beauty of the Kingdom of God within.

Later, come the other wizard controllers – teachers, schoolmates, co-workers, employers, friends, doctors, churches, government leaders and those authorized by said government to protect you, and all forms of mass media, including social media and the internet. To differing degrees, they are all wizard controllers, figuratively directing you to retrieve the wicked witch’s broomstick before you can fulfill your dreams and wishes.

The Mega Billionaires

At the top of the “human controller pyramid” are the mega billionaires. They are the one tenth of one percent of the world’s population that control corporations and the world economy.

Money is a necessary tool of a civilized society. It is used as a uniform means of trade. Money itself is neither good or evil. It is neutral. It is relentlessly used however, for the purpose of control over your life.

Take the case of one particularly nefarious mega billionaire. He cunningly masquerades as a philanthropist while attempting to create a stranglehold on the food seed bank of the world. He holds patents on GMO food seed and constantly touts the benefits of GMO food for humanity while purchasing massive tracts of farmland. It is a classic example of a massive scam. It is a blatant push for greater and greater control over human beings through controlling food supply. Meanwhile, he is hiding “behind the curtain” telling everybody ” I want to help you”.

The mega billionaires use their vast amounts of money to control others to do their bidding (see my blog post of April 15, 2021 regarding the “barbeque speech” of Huey Long). The mega billionaires understand the power of money. Do this and I will give you money to buy stuff. Don’t do what I want you to do and I will take away your money. Unfortunately, the need or desire for money (what money can buy) can lead humans down a hundred and one wrong roads. Roads that travel away from the Kingdom of God.

They Live

Have you ever watched the 1988 film, “They Live”? It is a science fiction horror film written and directed by John Carpenter. And yes, it portrays a world where “human controllers” are everywhere. They have successfully fooled the overwhelming majority of the earth’s population into following the agenda of the controllers.

The film stars Roddy Piper, Keith David and Meg Foster. It has an incredible five and a half minute fight scene between Piper and David. The fight is reminiscent of the classic fight scene between John Wayne and Victor McLaglen in the film “The Quiet Man”. It also features a cult classic quote from Roddy Piper as he brandishes a shotgun at some aliens – “I’ve come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubblegum”. Watch the film if you get the chance. “They Live” is an entertaining movie with a valuable message.

Here is a quick and dirty synopsis of the film. It has been discovered by “resisters” that signals are sent out through television waves (today it would be cell phone signals). These broadcasts have hypnotised most of the population, keeping them in a subservient, dream-like state. After a resisters group has been raided and destroyed by police, Roddy Piper finds amid the wreckage of the raid, a box of sunglasses. Upon trying on a pair, he is shocked to observe that there are subliminal messages everywhere, directing people to consume, reproduce and conform. These sunglasses also reveal the true faces of the many aliens who now co-mingle with human beings.

At the end part of the film, Piper and two others are successful in infiltrating the main broadcast nerve center of the aliens. They discover a large meeting taking place of the aliens and their human collaborators. They are celebrating another year of control and the successful raid on the resister group. With great difficulty, Piper destroys the main broadcast transmitter. He is killed by guards but not before giving them the finger before he dies. The destruction of the transmitter frees humanity from its controlled state. Humans now have the ability to see all the aliens among them.

In, But Not Of

Jesus Christ stated that those who live in the Kingdom of God within, are in the world but not of the world. Those who have chosen to go within and live in the Kingdom of God are not influenced by the controllers, the man behind the curtain. These souls of course live in the world, eating, working, interacting with others, avoiding crazy drivers on the road, etc. However, they are influenced and controlled by Divine Guidance, coming from the Kingdom of God within. That, and that alone, is their true “North Star”.

The so-called leaders of society, and all facets of mass media and consumerism are not part of who these souls are. Nor is it part of their thoughts, their words, their actions, their beliefs. The Kingdom of God is impenetrable to all the manipulations of the world’s controllers. You are safe within the fortress of the Kingdom of God. The freedom of God is your freedom.

Tell The Controllers To “F**k Off”

The time has now come for every person under the sway of the controllers. The time has come for you to tell the controllers of the world to “f**k off”. You can probably come up with several reasons why you can’t do this. “I have a family to support”. “I need this diploma so I can get a good job”. My spouse will divorce me”. “My kids/friends/relatives will hate me”. “I need the health insurance for my condition”. Everyone will think I am nuts”. “The police will arrest me”. “I need food and a place to live”. And so on.

That is where the man behind the curtain has you by your figurative cajones. Fear. The controllers have used fear for centuries. It keeps people “in line” and under control. Technology is moving forward at exponential speed. The full intention of the controllers is to use the power of fear, coupled with technology, to coerce you to switch from voluntary servitude to involuntary servitude in perpetuity. They will do this under the guise of “helping and protecting you”.

You have the full freedom to choose. Fear or Love. Those are your two choices. Fear or Love. Fear is error. Love is truth. You succumb to fear in order to be safe but the only true safety is in love, which emanates from the Kingdom of God within. Yes, I know, it is hard. But following the Divine Way is the only way to cross the dark chasm and expose the man behind the curtain.

You CAN Do It, But………

In the film, “The Wizard of Oz”, when the Wizard attempted to intimidate Dorothy and her companions to go away, it took Dorothy’s dog to unmask the phoniness of the Wizard’s omnipotence. Just as the dog used God-given animal instinct to reveal the true nature of the Wizard, so you must use your God-given intuition and guidance to discern the true motives of the “one percent” to control you, heart and soul, from birth to death.

You may say, ” Yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard all that stuff before. You just don’t get it. I got six things in my face all at the same time. Things are going on with me. Things are going on with my kids, my spouse. I’m being squeezed, man”.

You CAN follow the very best path, regardless of anything, despite everything, BUT you have to earnestly ask Divine Intelligence to guide you. Read this from the Old Testament from the book of Jeremiah of what your Creator says, “You will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all of your heart.”

If you honestly desire to understand how to live in freedom and manifest all manner of good things in your life, you can. Seek the Divine within you with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul. As St. Augustine said, “If you really want to see God, you have the means to do so”.

Conscious Manifesting

Every human being that has a mind capable of thinking a thought, engages in manifesting. There are two distinct methods of manifesting things in your life. The first way is by far the most common. It is unconsciously manifesting. Drawing things to you or pushing things away from you without ever perceiving that you are doing so. The second type of manifesting is conscious manifesting. This is when you consciously discipline yourself to focus on the Presence of God and with steadfast belief, live as if the desire is fulfilled.

Both types of manifesting use the same basic ingredients in the creation of outer circumstances. These ingredients are: (1) your thoughts, (2) your words, (3) your actions, (4) your feelings, and (5) your inner beliefs. The difference between the two types, unconscious and conscious, is control. In unconscious manifesting, your circumstances, thoughts, words, and beliefs control you. If you think fear-based thoughts, speak fear-based words, and believe fear-based ideas, then fear-based circumstances will follow, as the night follows the day.

If you make the conscious decision to exercise control over what you think, say and believe, and allow God-based thoughts, words, and beliefs be the focus of your life, no matter what, then, equivalent circumstances will ultimately follow. Going back and forth between love and fear is a classic recipe for frustration. Belief – belief that “it is done, it is complete” – is the gourmet sauce that turns the filet of fish into a gastronomical masterpiece. It is the real deal that guides all your conscious manifesting. It keeps you out of the clutches of the man behind the curtain.

Conceive. Believe. Receive.

Kid Detachment Vs. Killer Time Lag

In This Corner………

Somewhere along the way, I am reasonably sure that you have watched the beginning of a professional boxing match. Even if you have never been a boxing fan, you may have been introduced to a boxing match on a television show or in a movie. The popular Rocky movie franchise is an example of where you may have seen it.

Before the fight starts, the announcer stands in the middle of the ring as he holds the drop down microphone. The two boxers are standing in opposite corners of the ring. The announcer intones, “In this corner, weighing in at 207 pounds is Tommie “Kid” Callahan. After the cheers for this boxer die down, the announcer continues, “And in this corner, weighing in at 214 pounds, George “Killer” Kowalski. The boxers then go to the center of the ring to hear the referee’s final instructions and shake hands. Then they return to their respective corners, the bell rings, and the fight commences.

Every Day Of Your Life

Every day of your life, you are in an ethereal boxing ring for a boxing match unlike any others. You are “Kid Detachment”. You are pitted against “Killer Time Lag”. The winner of this match determines the very substance of your human existence. If “Kid Detachment” wins, your dreams and desires morph into reality. If “Killer Time Lag” wins, you unfortunately must remain in your state of disappointment and frustration.

What Is Detachment?

Detachment is the most controversial and difficult part of manifesting your chosen desires. There are those that portray detachment as not thinking about the materialization of your desire. This particular school of thought contends that once you set your intention to manifest a specific desire, you then stop thinking about it and detach yourself from the outcome.

True detachment goes far beyond that particular definition. Your state of consciousness called detachment is where your “craving self” dies. Detachment is a state of mind that you, yourself, induce. It is a state of being where your thoughts, your feelings, your actions, your reactions, your emotions all reflect one thing. That one thing is that your chosen desire is real, right now. Detachment means that you believe, you know that your manifestation is complete. The desire is fulfilled. It is not something that you will get. It is something that you have. Wherever you are sitting, standing, or laying down, it is real, right now.

The Purpose Of Detachment

The purpose of practicing detachment is to separate (or detach) from your present reactions to current circumstances. Once that detachment occurs, you have removed the frustration and disappointment of the state of “not having”. You have given space for you faith (belief) to connect with Universal Mind.

Jesus Christ stated quite clearly that whatsoever things you desire, when you pray, believe that you have received, and they will be yours. Jesus is telling those listening, that if you practice detachment (believe that you already have your chosen desire), your desire will spring to life.

When you rightly practice detachment, you are detached from your current outer reality, your outer circumstances. You are not anxiously awaiting your desire to come about. If you are in a state of detachment, then you are already experiencing your chosen reality.

Come On, Get Real

You may have pressing problems currently that are causing you to feel distress and anxiety. It feels like most of your day is spent attempting to remediate your problems. Perhaps you are thinking to yourself, “This detachment stuff sounds like you are supposed to live in a fantasy world, like a crazy person. I got bills to pay. I have family issues to deal with. My boss at work is a complete clown. With all this going on, you want me to act like these things don’t exist? Come on, get real”.

Biblical scripture states that those who believe, are physically in the world, but not of the world. Your mind is your own personal domain. It is where your imagination is. Your imagination is the power that brings stuff into your life.

If you want to get real about manifesting your true desire, then you have to do what is necessary to bring that about.

Sorry, The Cavalry Is Not Coming

As a kid, I watched a bunch of tv shows and movies that were westerns. In some of these movies, the wagon train would be surrounded by Indians who were trying to decimate the entire wagon train. Just when things were the most desperate, there would be the sound of a cavalry bugle call. Then over the ridge would appear the army cavalry to save the day.

Sorry, but the cavalry is not coming to your rescue. In manifesting what you desire, it is up to you to do what is necessary. You. No shining knight is coming to rescue you. You must use the power that you were given by your Creator as a child of the Almighty Presence. You can choose a glorious path of consciously manifesting a fulfilling life. Or you can choose the same old shit that you have been experiencing.

How To Practice Detachment

If living a life of fulfillment, experiencing inner joy, sounds good to you, then you must take action. Start today. Tomorrow never comes. Start a daily (every day without fail) practice of setting aside a prescribed period of time each day. Next, in this time period that you have chosen, get into a deeply relaxed state. For example, this is the state of relaxation that you feel before nodding off to sleep. You are still awake but your mind and body are in the deepest state of relaxation this side of being asleep. This state of relaxation is called SATS, state akin to sleep.

Use this state of relaxation to your benefit. It may be five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes. Shift your imagination into high gear during this time of deep relaxation. Next, see your desire already fulfilled in your mind’s eye. Hear what you would hear. See what you would see. Feel what you would feel. Say what you would say. Your imaginal scene changes over into your true reality.

Deliver A Knockout Punch To Killer Time Lag

One of the biggest obstacles to getting stuff that you want via conscious manifestation is the time lag. You do your daily session of experiencing detachment. Then you do it the next day. And the next. And the next. Consequently, after a week, you see nothing changed in your outer experience. You get discouraged. You start doubting. Adverse circumstances activate fears. The time lag is hitting you with body blows.

In manifesting, there is almost always a time lag between activating your desire and fulfillment. Killer Time Lag uses this time period to go on the offensive and score a knockout. This is where your faithful and consistent practice of detachment will be your salvation. Every consecutive day of your practice of detachment delivers a solid punch to Killer Time Lag. Then, one day, you will deliver the knockout punch and Killer Time Lag will go down for the count.

When You Believe It, You Will See It

Faith is power. Faith is belief. Belief is the key. Hebrews 11:1 has a beautiful and concise definition of faith. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for; the conviction of things not seen. The word assurance means total confidence; complete freedom from doubt; 100% certainty. The word conviction means that your Subconscious Mind is convinced that the circumstance that you created in your imagination is real. When you remain in a state of detachment and your Subconscious Mind buys into what you are selling, there is no force on earth that can prevent your desire from becoming reality.

Conceive. Believe. Receive.

8 Billion Opportunities To Express Universal Mind

Population Of The World 2022

In a United Nations report released this year on World Population Day, the population of the world is projected to reach 8 billion by the end of 2022. The report stated that the population of 61 countries is projected to decrease by 1 % or more between 2022 and 2050. Despite this however, population surges in Africa and the Indian sub-continent will push the world to that 8 billion mark.

John Wilmoth, director of the United Nations Population Department, stated that the current global average life expectancy has increased to 72.8 years. That is a nine year increase from a similar report issued in 1990. I am an average guy. I guess that gives me about three more years or so. As you may have guessed, the percent share of the total global population of old people (over 65) is growing. The oldsters, now one tenth of the world’s humans, will be almost one sixth of all humans by 2050.

Good News, Bad News

One problem with the relentless growth of older people as a percentage of the global population is healthcare. The elderly is the segment of the population statistically needing it the most. Let’s face it, the older you get, the more your body breaks down. When it breaks down enough, you die.

There is however a major benefit of the increased longevity of human beings. Living longer means that every additional year of life that a person gets means that they have additional time to discover their true power as a unique expression of the Divine.

Every Person Is An Expression

There is one Universal Mind – God. Through this Universal Mind you live, and move, and have your being. This year, on planet earth, there will be 8 billion individualizations of Universal Mind. Each of these individualizations have conscious minds. Almost every one of these conscious minds has the ability and freedom to direct thoughts and feelings into the Universal Subconscious Mind. The Subconscious Mind then acts to bring to reality those thoughts and feelings held in absolute belief.

Universal Mind, from which we have all originated and exist, creates whatever you think and believe as true. Universal Mind creates what you think and feel about your neighbor. Likewise, Universal Mind creates what your neighbor thinks and feels about you. God is impartial. Universal Law is impartial. It inexorably acts upon human thought and feeling. Humans are an expression of the Divine.

Look at the second most important commandment of Jesus: “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. As you regard your neighbor, so shall it be done to him. In conjunction with that, as your neighbor regards you, so shall it be done to you. You may say, “Well my neighbor hates me but I am still successful. What about that”? Where there are conflicting thoughts, Universal Subconscious Mind always acts on the thoughts and feelings where there is the greatest faith and belief.

So What Are You Expressing These Days?

Almost everyone has heard the saying, “As you sow, so shall you reap”. It is widely known as a universal law of life. It is also one of the world’s most misunderstood maxims. Religious “authorities” have for centuries put forth the idea that this saying refers primarily to our existence in the hereafter. That is a basic misunderstanding of the content of that law. The sowing (or planting) and reaping (or harvesting) speaks strictly of the spiritual law of cause and effect.

The thoughts and feelings that you plant in the garden of Subconscious Mind will ultimately yield a harvest. It will be either weeds, stunted plants or beautiful fruit and blossoms. It all depends on what you believe as true.

You Are Free

Every minute of your lifetime, you are free. This is a wonderful miracle. It is also an enduring mystery. While you are in fact a infinitesimal part of Universal Mind, you are also free to choose your thoughts and feelings. Otherwise you would merely be a mindless marionette with no manner or means of expressing the Divine. When you use your freedom to express love and all of its derivative permutations, you are expressing the Divine. When you use your freedom to express fear and all of its derivative permutations, you are expressing error.

One avenue of expression leads you to growth and expansion of your consciousness. The other avenue of expression stunts your growth and leads to regression. What exactly are you expressing these days? What do you desire to express? The choice is yours. It always has been, You were created in that manner. Unless you agree to let the controllers microchip you and gain control over your brain’s neurons, the choice will always be yours.

Through A Glass Darkly

In the famous chapter 13 of the book of First Corinthians, there is a phrase uttered by the apostle Paul, “For now we see through a glass, darkly”. The glass that is referred to is a looking glass or mirror. The word darkly means without full understanding. Young’s Literal Translation of this verse is “we see through a mirror obscurely”. This phrase comes from the Greek (blepomen gar arti di esoptrou en ainigmati). The New International Version translation states, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror”. The Good News Bible has it “what we see now is a dim image in a mirror”.

Mirrors in the days of Paul were actually made of polished metal, not glass. Mirrors of the time contained imperfections and distortions. Some things were clearly reflected. Some portions of the reflection had distortions somewhat like a fun house mirror. The more that we dedicate our lives to expressing Divine Law in truth, the more that we will see the reflection of our self with clarity. Ultimately, with complete faith in the goodness of Eternal Mind, we will see everything clearly. For the time being however, human beliefs in error abound all over the world because “we see through a glass, darkly”.

Yes, He Definitely Said “Whatsoever”

Take the “Mr. Chi” template of the five basic human desires: money, relationships, career, health and intercession (ability to help others). It is a safe assumption that the overwhelming majority of human beings throughout the world lack something that they truly desire. Read carefully the words of Jesus – “Therefore I say unto you, all things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and ye shall have them”.

That sounds about as clear as one can get using words to communicate. There is no shillyshally or waffling in that statement. It is definite and it is truth. If you, made in the image of the Most High, think a desire and then believe that you have already received it, it will be yours. This will come about through the natural means of the society in which you reside.

Faith (belief) is the key. If you are holding on to subtle or secret doubts, you place a blockage between you and your desire. You simply must find a way to get yourself to the point where you believe that you have received your desire even though your physical eyes do not see it. Universal Mind knows everything about you. Eternal Subconscious can plainly see every secret thought and every hidden doubt. Universal Law is impartial. If you harbor doubt, Universal Law will substantiate that doubt in your reality. Your doubt will culminate in continuing to fall short of receiving your desire. When Jesus said “whatsoever”, he meant it, for he was Truth.

Error Of Belief Expresses Evil

When I was a kid, I remember seeing some large graffiti painted on to the side of an underpass wall. It was on the way to Trenton to visit my paternal grandparents. The graffiti said “God created disease”. I asked Mom about it. She answered that there are all types of people in the world. Whoever put that there was just bitter at something.

It got me to thinking however about all sorts of evil in the world. In Sunday School they taught that God created everything. If that was true, then how could disease and poverty and evil exist. The Sunday School teacher said it was all because of the devil. I asked whether God created the devil. The answer was yes, but the devil decided to go against God. The teacher stated that God will win in the end though. After that Sunday School lesson, it was like when you are hungry and you eat a small portion of food. Your stomach is still not satisfied.

God Is All Wisdom

God is all wisdom and all knowledge. No questions to answer. No goals to achieve. God knows all there is to know and sees everything there is to see. God creates from a place of ultimate love without any knowledge of good or evil. Man’s errors of thought and belief create the suffering in the world and every type of evil. God made man with a free will. Man freely chooses what to think and what to believe. Man chooses to believe in evil. This evil then becomes real.

Man accepts the illusion of evil in his thoughts. Man has faith (belief) in the illusion of evil. Thus evil becomes a reality. As an individualization of the Divine, you think and believe in freedom as you choose. You can choose to think and believe in truth. Or you can choose to think and believe in error. Every day of your life, you make the choice.

“Resist Not Evil” Finally Understood

Another bible verse that gave me trouble was “Resist Not Evil”. Most people would grapple with this one. Should you just stand there and let evil push you around? The Sunday School teacher replied that as Christians we are always to practice the peace and presence of Christ. We must trust God and not fall into the devil’s trap of fighting evil with evil. I heard his answer but still left the table hungry.

If you look at the reality of evil being a construct of man’s error of thought, you can see more clearly what Jesus was getting at. When you resist evil, you feed the monster and increase it’s power. When you accept only the truth of the Kingdom of God within you, you starve the monster.

In his famous essay, The Golden Key, Emmet Fox touched upon this situation. He said when encountering any type of adverse circumstances, just dwell on God. Let the truth of the Most High fill up every space of your mind. In your thoughts, choose to acknowledge only God.

You always have the right to protect yourself or a loved one from harm. What “resist not evil” means is this – drawn to its logical conclusion, if every human being refused to accept the illusion of evil, it would disappear. Jesus gives you the key to dealing with evil. Use the key.

Well Yeah, Of Course It’s Hard At First

Regarding “resist not evil” you may say, “OMG, do you even realize how hard that is to do in the real world”? At first, yes. It is very hard. It is hard because it is a new and strange way of thinking. When you think about it however, it really makes perfect sense. Think of God, dwell on God and believe only in God, and you will grow in power and peace in the Kingdom of God. Think of evil, dwell on evil, believe in evil and you mistakenly give evil ever more power.

Anything new and unfamiliar is difficult at first. It is similar to learning a new skill or strengthening your body or mastering a second language. And so on. Commit yourself to dwelling only on God with consistency and persistency. It becomes easier and easier. Thus it is with “resist not evil”. You learn to express the Divine instead of error. You will find yourself dwelling in the Kingdom of God.

The Alarm Clock Is Ringing

With the exponential explosion of knowledge and technology, things could get kind of crazy in the years to come. The fat controllers of the world can perceive that more and more people are waking up. Every day more people come to understand that they are children of God, made in the image of the Almighty. They are inwardly rebelling against the controllers and discovering the truth about themselves.

People like you and me are learning that all we need to do are the only two things we can do for ourselves – conceive and believe. Conceive your desires fulfilled through your thoughts and beliefs. Believe that your desire is already fulfilled through your steadfast faith. All the details are then handled by Universal Mind. Your only responsibility is thought and belief. Through countless centuries, the bulk of humanity has been lulled to sleep by the controllers. The alarm clock is ringing. It is time to wake up now.

What The Human Mind Believes, Humankind Receives

During the course of one of his many military campaigns, one of Napoleon’s generals told him that the current circumstances were causing a lack of success. Napoleon, who was looking at a battlefield map, looked up at him and said “Circumstances? What are circumstances? I make circumstances”. And so it is with all of mankind.

“If you can believe, you will receive” is the statement of Jesus Christ. That is what the entire universe is based upon. First, use your ability to think so as to image what you desire. Second, believe with all that you are, that you have received it. That’s it. Divine Intelligence handles the rest. You create nothing. Universal Mind does everything. Be alert when Divine Intelligence presents you with something to follow up on. Universal Mind has endless ways to manifest your desire.

Listen for and watch for guidance. You cannot will something to happen on your own accord. When you have thought of and believed in your desire as fulfilled, everything you need to do will be communicated to you. Divine Mind will provide you with guidance. Once you are convinced of the reality of your manifestation, then just let it go. Your desire will manifest from Universal Mind as a result of your faith, not through any ferocious display of will on your part. What the human mind believes, humankind will receive.

Believe. Receive.

I Don’t Care — Now It’s Time For You To Stop Caring

Caring Can Be Counter-Productive

Take a look at that guy in the image above. If you wanted to get a look at a guy who has decided upon an act which encompasses an “I don’t care” attitude, there it is. Some may even call it a stupid or crazy or potentially suicidal act. I am going to go ahead and assume that beforehand he knew exactly how wide the crevice was and exactly how long he is able to jump with a running start. It looks like he is wearing shoes that provide him with good traction. Likewise I will assume he checked out the condition of the ground so he would not stumble on approach. It can be imagined that if he advised others what he was preparing to do, at least some of them would advise him not to do it. I know if he told his mother in advance, she would strongly object or at least tell him to put a secure, solid platform across the crevice. In any case, as you can see from the photograph, he obviously made the decision to make the jump and have someone photograph him doing so. For only reasons known to him, he felt that it was something he had to do despite the advice of others not to do it. In a somewhat similar fashion, when through prayer and meditation you have received Divine guidance about a decision, listen with open ears to others but place top priority on that which comes forth from the Kingdom of God within you. That – is what you should always be caring about, first and foremost.

During a job that I worked at for twenty years, I volunteered to be the union shop steward for a facility employing over two hundred employees. I held that position for ten years. The best way to describe the experience is that of being the manager of the complaint department within a large department store in Hell. The union employees that you represent always expect more and the management employees with which you interact resent you for making them adhere to the terms of the contract. This was an unpaid position that was done in conjunction with my hourly wage employment. In effect, you worked two jobs. Why do it? Well, first of all I knew it was something that I could do well due to my personal skill set. Second, management had committed a foolish error in management that affected me personally in a severely adverse way. It was a form of payback I guess you could say. Third, it was a way of having an active role in ensuring workplace justice, which I enjoyed. Many times someone would say to me, “If you go after management for that, they’re gonna really hate you.” My standard response would be “You don’t know how little that means to me. I don’t care”. If I adjusted my actions in accordance with caring whether everyone liked me as a result of those actions, that would have been counter-productive to the entire situation.

Regardless…..

One of those positives that came to me as a result of my experience as a union steward was that I evolved to more frequently seek out, follow, and have confidence in that Inner Light within us that gives us guidance. It became easier to proceed with a philosophy of “just do right, regardless”……..

Regardless of others’ opinions of me as a result.

Regardless of any attempted intimidation or implied threats.

Regardless of whether others would like me

Regardless of whether others would not like me.

Regardless of having an imaginary bullseye on my back as a result.

Following this Inner Light has allowed me to feel more free in my daily life;

Feeling more free in my daily life brought more inner joy into my life experience;

Experiencing more inner joy in my life experience helped me to feel more alive;

Feeling more alive awakened me more acutely to the power of the Kingdom of God within.

The opinions of others are the property of others. The dictates of others are the property of others. (I will like you if you do……../I will not like you if you do……..). Covet not the property of others. With the guidance of Ultimate Intelligence create and tend to your own property.

I have reflected on the causation of errors of thinking that led to negative results in my life. Some of those errors were caused by altering my thoughts, words or actions based on caring how I would be perceived by another person or other persons. There is nothing wrong with listening to the words of others and respecting their opinions unless you allow them to supersede the guidance and direction that comes from your Inner Light. God is supreme. God is first. As Jesus Christ states in Matthew 6:33, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God”. Through ongoing prayer and meditation, know what direction to take, then incorporate respect for the opinions of others into your everyday life. First things first, second things second.

Caring And Uncaring At The Same Time

The word empathy is defined as: the ability to understand the inner feelings of another. Although completely counter-intuitive, it has been my experience that the less that I focus my attention on how I am perceived by others, the more empathy that I have for people. I do not really understand exactly how this happens, but it does. It’s kind of weird. Perhaps it has something to do with a heightening of the perception of the Kingdom of God within.

I must confess that at times I find this enhancement of empathy somewhat disconcerting. I can be observing someone walking on the sidewalk or even seated in their car and all of a sudden I feel a sudden blast of pure empathy for them. Sometimes this even drives me to tears. It’s almost like I can perceive what is inside them. Sometimes it is feeling the adversity that a person is encountering. Sometimes it is feeling the goodness of that person’s heart. Whenever this happens, I immediately am compelled to send out a silent prayer on behalf of that person – “God bless this man richly today. Thank you. Amen”. Or “God bless this woman richly today. Thank you. Amen”. I send forth the prayer with the power of my energy and expect results with faith even though I may never be in a position to observe said results. Why certain people and not everyone? On any given day, I imagine some can use prayer more than others. Anyway, if those empathy blasts happen too frequently, I think my inner wiring would short circuit and smoke would be coming out of my ears in no time.

OK, So How Is This Related To Manifesting

Everything in your life is a manifestation. Manifestations reflect who you are on the inside. Don’t change the world. Change the assumptions that you perceive about yourself. Let others perceive however they choose. That is their property. Your property is how you perceive yourself. Tend to your own property. Whether someone hates you or loves you is their choice. Your choice is to make your life worthwhile and fulfilling, to love yourself unconditionally. Your job is to know what you truly desire, then have faith and believe persistently that you already have it. In an unseen dimension of reality, you DO already have it. That is the very heart of consciously manifesting your reality. Faith in that which is unseen (by others) and your belief in your fulfilling that desire. The strength of your faith – the naturalness of your belief – always supersedes everything else. Make these what you care about and everything else will fall into place for you.

Infused Believing: It Has A Taste You’ll Really Enjoy

Infused Believing: Try It, You’ll Like It

Nowadays there are many infused products available to the public for purchase. Infused waters are now very popular giving water a huge variety of interesting flavors. There is infused honey, infused olive oil, infused coffees and teas, infused dried fruits and vegetables. More recently we have the addition of CBD and cannabis infused products. Let’s take a look at the dictionary to review a definition of infused – to cause an item to be permeated with another item with the additional item altering the original item for the better.

The very core, the center if you will, of manifesting your reality is belief. Even though your five senses cannot perceive “the desire fulfilled”, your imaginal sense not only clearly perceives it but likewise believes it as real. What creates the finishing touch to your manifesting efforts is gratitude. When you infuse your assured belief in the unseen with gratitude, infused believing I call it, you are co-creating with God. You are creating an energy based power vortex that comes straight out of the Kingdom of God within you. Your only job from then on is to stay true and constant to this infused belief and maintain your faith in the unseen reality.

Plasma, as seen in the image above, is one of the four fundamental states of matter. It contains a significant portion of charged particles – ions and/or electrons. Lightning is a commonplace generator of plasma. When you infuse your desired manifestation belief with true gratitude, you are creating a virtual plasma energy bomb that releases explosive power – power to fulfill your life’s desires.

And The Great Thing About It Is—–It Feels Really Good

Let’s say that your car appears to be on its last legs. You have about $37.00 in your bank account and a $3.00 in your wallet. Your basic fear is that you car will conk out on you and you won’t have the money to fix it. When you leave for work you are wondering will the car last you another year or even another month. You think that if it breaks down, how the hell will you be able to get to work. And so on. Listen, if that does happen, you’ll figure it out somehow. By dwelling on it however, you dangerously create an energy vortex that actually serves to draw that scenario to your reality.

Try this instead. Create in your mind’s eye the vision of a car make and model, car mileage, car condition that you could live with, a car that is mechanically sound and cosmetically acceptable to you. Forget about how much it might cost you. Forget about credit reports. Forget about other bills you may have. Forget about down payments. Just concentrate on your car, you driving the car, you driving others in the car, pulling up to the gas pump and filling your car’s tank with gas, parking your car at your residence after finishing work, getting into your car to go to work, giving a ride to someone else who may not have a car. In a drowsy state, either immediately upon waking or just before drifting off to sleep, feel it. Just feel that it has really happened to you. It is real. Then INFUSE your belief, your feeling, with how thankful, how effing thankful that you are that everything came together for you. You have it. You did it. Then either fully wake up and start your day or drift off to sleep for the night.

A quote from Neville Goddard – (note: capitalization has been added by me) – “(a) way of praying is simply to FEEL thankful. If I want something, either for myself, or another, I immobilize the physical body, then I produce the state akin to sleep and in that state just feel happy, feel thankful, which thankfulness implies realization of what I want. I assume the FEELING of the wish fulfilled and with my mind dominated by this single sensation, I go to sleep. I need do nothing to make it so, because it IS so. My FEELING of the wish FULFILLED implies that it is done.”

If you successfully feel gratitude for your wish fulfilled, remember this – the human mind, the human heart cannot feel grateful for that which you have not been given. Your subconscious mind takes its marching orders from what you believe as true and your feeling of gratitude that what you desire is yours.

Do not be surprised if you practice infused believing and you begin crying out of what I call “primal gratitude”. It is akin to those game show contestants who start bawling when they win the grand showcase prize. Primal gratitude is gratitude that has penetrated down to your very core, the center of your being. The feeling is different for different people. Some may feel a perfect calm and peace. Others may taste a brief sample of the feeling of ecstasy. Yet others may feel the benevolent power of a state of being purely centered. Whatever way you feel, if you are doing it right, it feels good.

Some may respond to this with disdain and say, ” Yeah right, I got problems hitting me from every which way and you want me to be thankful for that?!” Absolutely not. Not for whatever misfortune that you or a loved one may be suffering. I want you to imagine, to create an outcome that you desire, then believe, utterly believe that is your true reality and not what you eyes are seeing. Believe with your “inner eyes”, the eyes you use when dwelling in the Kingdom of God. When your belief is full, infuse that belief of “that which is unseen” with thankfulness, simple thankfulness, true thankfulness. Stay consistent. Stay true to your feeling. If you do, at some point your desire will come to fruition. It has to, it has no choice but to manifest. It may be a day, a week, a month, a year but it will arrive on your lap, many times when you least expect it. Even in the act of procreation there is a nine month lag between conception and birth.

Give It Everything That You Have To Give

This infused believing manifestation method is a true delight to use. There is something about true gratitude that is extremely powerful. Outer adverse circumstances may attempt to hang in there but ultimately, if you remain focused and committed to the process, they will have no choice but to back away. It is necessary to totally surrender to the idea. At first, you may find it too hard to do. Keep at it. If it was “a walk in the park” everyone, everywhere would be doing it. But everyone is not doing it because you have to do it when you do not feel like doing it. You have to do it when you are angry. You have to do it when you are tired. You have to do it when a part of you is telling you that you are a fool for doing it.

Like most manifesting techniques, the more that you give to the process, the more you will get. A quote from Stuart Wilde, ” Universal Law is impartial. It will give you anything you believe. It will throw you garbage or roses depending on the energy you put in. You are the one in charge, and you must accept that and stand alone. If you think God is coming down to fix things for you, forget it. God is out playing golf.” To stand alone is to be responsible for the results emanating from your thoughts, words, actions, feelings, beliefs.

One of my favorite singers is the jazz vocalist, Dianne Reeves. If you want a short visual example of someone experiencing gratitude, go on You Tube and watch her performance of the song “Testify” from August 12, 2000 at the Newport Jazz Festival. Near the end of the song, part of the lyrics are the words, “thank you”. She generates amazing energy as she repeats the words over and over again. She is not merely singing the words, she is experiencing those words.

Believe, Gratitude, Receive. Referencing that famous line from the editorial in the New York Sun newspaper, “Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus”, through infused believing, that Santa Claus is you.

New Manifesting Technique: 18 X 10 X 40

18 X 10 X40 = Whatever You Desire

The focus of this week’s post is the little known manifesting technique of ” 18 X 10 X 40″. You may have heard of the 3 6 9 Method, the 7 7 7 Method, the 5 X 55 Method and the baby brother, the 3 X 33 Method but probably not the 18 X 10 X 40 Method. Well if you haven’t, don’t feel left out because I don’t think too many people have. I came to learn of it by chance decades ago and actually used it successfully. Being afflicted with the malady of metaphysical ADHD however, I moved on to other methods and techniques. In fact, at first I thought it didn’t work when nothing occurred after the allotted time period. Like most of my manifestations however, there was a distinct time lag between my initial expectation time frame date and the actual date the desired manifestation came into my world of third dimensional reality.

The gist of the method is for you to custom create eighteen strong affirmation statements of between ten and eighteen words each regarding your chosen desire. No less than ten and no more than eighteen. Do not just copy other affirmations you may have read somewhere. These affirmation statements have to be your own unique creation. Each statement has to strike a real chord with you personally. Only you know the best words that will “ring your chimes”. You can do it. Just take your time. Give it deep thought and see what statements lift you up into the clouds. Pay your mind no mind as it says to you, “That could never happen to you. Get real!” Respond to your mind with an old Harold Camping retort, “Thank you for caring and sharing. Now let’s move on.”

OK, you have done your work and you’ve got your eighteen statements which we will call “statements of fact”. Now, using a recording device, record each statement ten times in a row. When you are done you will have recorded one hundred and eighty statements. Since I was back in the Stone Age when I used this technique, I used a cassette recorder and a Sony Walkman. Record these statements in absolute privacy so you can be totally free and uninhibited. Negative comments or vibes from the peanut gallery can wreck the whole process. Inject strong feeling into your statements. Make every effort to make each of the statements sound a little bit different from the one before. That helps to keep your mind from wandering away. Then, just listen. When you are done, just turn off the recording device and stop thinking about the whole thing. Do this once per day for forty consecutive days without skipping a day. If you skip a day, you have to start over again at day one. The best times each day are during what is termed SATS (State Akin To Sleep). This is that time that you are in that twilight time of consciousness immediately upon waking or as you are drowsing off to sleep.

He Got His Desire…..And It Put Him On The Hot Seat

So how did I happen to come across this particular manifesting technique? Well, it all started back many moon ago with a college chum who subsequently swore off using it because it became too successful for him. He never told me where he got the technique from . Neither did he explain the significance of the 18, the 10 or the 40. He was just an average, ordinary guy like me. His deep desire was to make it with the chicks. Not just one, but a whole flock. He told me that he used this method and it worked better than he ever imagined. He wound up dating a half-dozen women at once, one even twice his age. When he confided to me his dilemma, he was deeply in debt, his “chick-mania” was affecting his studies, and he was entangled in all manner of boyfriend-girlfriend relationship drama. I clearly remember to this day him saying to me, “I can’t believe this one crazy chick. I told her bluntly to get lost and she just keeps coming back for more. I can’t get rid of her.” Anyway, to fast forward the story, he eventually was able extricate himself from his dilemma. He said the manifestation must have “run its course”.

To say the least, I was intrigued by the whole episode. I decided to try the 18 X 10 X 40 method the way he explained it to me as best as I could. I went for the strong desire to get myself in a better financial position. I imaged in my mind being in that place of improved finances without trying to figure out how it was going to happen. It took me awhile to get the affirmations just right. Then I had to make sure that I recorded the cassette where nobody could hear me. I didn’t want anyone laughing at me. I listened faithfully for forty days. At the end of the forty days, I did not see any improvement in my financial situation. I did not deride the process however. I just figured maybe my friend just had the knack for it or somehow I didn’t do it right. I went on with my daily activities, considered it an interesting experiment and pretty much forgot all about it. The results did not kick in until several months later when a series of unexpected events did indeed improve my financial situation dramatically. Why the time lag in effect? Your guess is probably as good as mine but it probably is a combination of the depth and strength of my belief, unconscious inner resistance to letting go and a lack of discipline on my part (plain old mental laziness).

Today’s Special At A Very Affordable Price

Why are there so many manifestation techniques floating around out there in Internet Land? Probably for the same reason that a restaurant menu doesn’t limit itself to just one item. Just as an item on the menu may appeal to one patron, while another patron finds appeal in a different menu item, one person may get excited about a particular technique while another may look at it and say “Meh, just doesn’t interest me”.

The one common denominator in the manifesting techniques that I have written about in this blog over the past year is that they all can be done without any outlay of money, What they do require however is (1)time, (2)effort, (3)discipline, (4)patience, and most important of all – (5)faith – belief that they work.

With this particular manifesting technique, you will require some type of recording device. Then you will need ear buds or ear phones so that you can listen to your affirmation statements in private. Do not allow others to hear as it will only invite comments that will despoil your faith in the process. Listen to them in their entirety when you wake up or when you drift off to sleep or both if you so wish. Refrain from thinking about it in between listening sessions. Let Divine Intelligence work out the necessary details. Your job is to be those affirmations as you are listening to them. If the forty days are up and you haven’t received the desired results, refrain from making any judgement as to the process. If you have done your end of things conscientiously, the soup is definitely simmering on the stove. When it’s ready, it is going to be downright delicious.

Believe. Receive.

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.
