Question about manifesting.

[Kind of Blue]

This is a piggyback of BlueIris's piggyback of Lildreamer316's thread :)

I'm wondering if it is our core beliefs about our particular wants and needs that spurs certain outcome of a manifestation?

I've just been grooving on this new work schedule of mine and how it came about with seemingly little effort on my part. But when I think of the years of wanting to be exactly where I am right now, I remember the many changes that Spirit took me through to get there. But certainly feelings went from this is what I want, to it may be impossible to it's possible, to perhaps I don't deserve it to firmly "yes, I do" - to voila, it's here! But the unwavering directive is the desire.

I guess I fully believe in manifesting and we do create our own reality, but it's become clearer to me that the emotions and/or core belief around a creation is key to what we bring forth from the realm of the un-manifested.

So I ask you, has this been your experience or how do you bring a seemingly elusive dream to reality?

1. I have found through the years that..the clearer I can picture what I want...

in my mind's eye....the faster it seems to manifest.
It also works best when I am not straining or trying too hard...just see it clearly in the mind's eye and then give it to God/Goddess. Then you have to go out and act in the world as we are in the world at this time and it will come to you in a logical way.

3. Turn the third eye upon the mental screen for turbocharging.

And be certain that what you want is what you want.

4. yup...exactly... :)

7. You know that's right!

That's why I like to take my time and think about it for a while.

Thanks, FWWM! I'm gonna file that under clarity.

10. I was highly hesitant about posting that as it is "The Wish-Fulfilling Gem"

the Buddhists warn against. It can be mis-used and may bring terrible karma. Ego wants and wants and wants and never gains enough. Chasing desire creates demons.

However, for those who understand that surrender to God is the finest path, more asides:

-I was taught in visualization to hold the image or sentence you desire on the mental screen, within a decently wide red circle. This locks it into the mind. "I WILL lucid dream" is an example. "Joy to the World" is a far better example.

-Shakti Gawain's book "Creative Visualization" is excellent.

-Emmet Fox's "The Sermon on the Mount" amounts to what the Christian Scientists call Malpractice, in that it has encoding which activates the mental screen. As warned above, also about Kundalini, Tantra, and Kriya Yoga, if you have any residual negativity in your chakras, you will learn about it very, very quickly. Do not use if you tend toward depression or any negativity. Even if you are fooling yourself about such. Do not screw with these things if you consider yourself anywhere near a beginner, or if you tend toward anger (denied or not).

11. Oh, I should have been clearer in the OP

And, of course, that's a good point about the ego. I should have included that it was about purpose, the soul's purpose - helping or allowing it to unfold and the blocks along the way, once you realize your direction.

Why a red circle? Is it because of its strong energy?

12. "Why a red circle?"

I have no idea. However, it works as described.

13. Thanks! I guess that's all that matters. n/t

6. Yes, Clarity of desire,

-so can we say as little emotional attachment involved when sending to the Universe/God/Goddess? I do as little straining now and don't send until I know that my happiness is not dependent on the outcome.

-and when we go out in the world as we are in the world - I think is also key. I really like gratitude as part of the way we are in world.

Thanks, Winyanstaz :thumbsup: I'm just trying to come up with common things we all do and perhaps some things I've never considered before. Put it all in nice list, review and start another thread as tips from actual friends.

2. I certainly struggle with this and have my whole life....

believing the whole "we create our reality" thing yet not understanding the myriad factors that play in with the whole manifestation process. After all, it's not only our desires at play; it's everyone else's, too, and how they intersect and such.

I give up on understanding.

Still, I absolutely, wholeheartedly believe emotion and the core intention of what we wish to manifest is key.

In other words, when I call forth $$, the essence of my desire is freedom. So, I now focus on freedom: creative and financial freedom.

I try to act "as if" in an emotional way and truly try to embrace how my desire shall feel. Really embody that desire's fulfillment and stay in a place of gratitude.

Of course, when we're calling forth something we have yet to experience (in this lifetime), it can be challenging to stay in that "feeling" place. We don't know how it feels!

I'm trying...

;)

8. That's a lot to think about.

I guess my manifestations are more about things that I want to get done, the core intention. So I'm pretty certain about how I would feel when it happens. The hard part for me is not to get too frustrated until then. But what you say about the feeling place is resonating in me, I like that because it seems I can replace the feeling of frustration with an "as if." That Always feels good and important because I think good feelings as well as bad are constantly sent into the realm helping to shape what will be sent back.

Thanks, OGR. I think this goes nicely with Winyanstaz's as we go how we are in the world.

5. Oh, remember that book several of us read a while back....

"The Fourth Awakening," by Rod Pennington and Jeffery A. Martin.

Jeffery even posted here a few times. :)

First, I recommend that book to anyone who hasn't yet read it -- it's a good read!

AND, pertinent to this manifesting discussion, it prompted a bit of an "aha" moment for me.

Something in the book (and I just don't recall exactly what right now), led me to a practice I've been using since then.

When I'm wanting to manifest something I:

1. Envision it in a logical way and get comfortable with the reality that it absolutely COULD logically happen. I convince my brain. :)

2. Then, I embody the FEELING of it having manifested. I act "as if."

3. Then, I complete the meditation with, "And so it is." It's done. And I'm grateful.

Then I release it to the Universe. No expectations.

I'm kind of viewing this process as similar to throwing out wildflower seeds. I get the ground ready to receive the seeds, sprinkle the seeds onto the ground, then nurture without being overzealous. What takes, takes.

I'm "throwing" it out there for the Universe to help whatever seeds have the most potential come to fruition.

All I can say is that this approach to life feels better for me. It is a much less stressful, more fulfilling process for my personality type. :)

9. My goodness, I'd completely forgotten.

Funny, if I had remembered and gotten the book in these hectic months, I wouldn't have had time to read it. So I guess it's came back just when I feel this need to explore some more.

Thanks, OneGrassRoot - very timely, indeed.
