Giving Birth to Your Desires

as originally posted in 3/2007

Every possible possibility you could ever desire or choose to experience already exists as a potential reality (seed) for you. Your job is not to create things from scratch, it is to decide what you desire to experience, and bring that forth (from the pool of potential reality) into manifest reality.

When you know exactly what that state of being is which you desire to experience, only then can the process of manifestation begin. You do not need to know HOW it will happen, you don’t need a “Game Plan” or a “Goal Sheet” or “Time Frame” to bring your desire about, you simply need to know the end result of your desire.

For instance, if you want to be out of debt, your ultimate desire is really financial freedom. If you want physical healing, your ultimate desire is good health. And likewise, if you long to be married or find that “Special” someone, what you truly desire is to love and be loved.

You certainly do not desire more DEBT, ILLNESS, or LONELINESS , so therefor you must first stop observing those states (you do not desire) as your reality. To stop observing a state as your reality, you re-focus your thoughts upon the end result (financial freedom/perfect health, or love) rather than the current circumstance. No matter what state your physical senses tell you is true for you at this moment, it is essential you not invest any thought energy into those things which you do not wish to continue to experience.

I was raised in the Christian religion and in our church we called this “Rebuking Evil”, and I still very much like the idea of rebuking those things which are not as I desire them to be. The way I do this is to stop myself whenever I have a thought which does not align with my desire and I say out loud to that thought, “I rebuke you, get thee behind me!”.

Now I think most Christians use this terminology when addressing what they perceive as the “Devil” but, no matter - I find that it has an energy for me, and It empowers me to push those unwanted thoughts behind me or out of my awareness, so that I can move ahead and choose only those thoughts which better align with my desires.

Next, you must substitute thoughts of your preferred state in place of the state you are now withdrawing thought from. Just swap them out. Push the undesired perceptions and thoughts aside and fill that space with the NEW THOUGHT. You need to substitute financial freedom for debt, health for illness, and love for loneliness - within your thoughts. You must perceive them through imagination as if they exist for you NOW, before they can become an objective reality.

Picture within your mind’s eye a “Scene” which would happen or play itself out once your desire has become realized. One example might be you holding a receipt in your hand that says “Paid in Full” or perhaps you see your spouse and hear him/her say how good it feels to be financially free. Maybe you see yourself in a white gown at your reception throwing the bouquet. The point is that you place yourself in your desired state NOW, within your thoughts through imagination. There are many ways to visualize this, and when you have one specific SCENE in which you can place yourself (within your imagination) and visualize the act of attainment, that is all you need.

The way conscious creation gives birth to your desire is really no different than how all birth happens, through the sowing of a seed. Consciousness (thought substance) impregnates itself (through desire), and gives birth to its likeness in MATTER/FORM, so to speak. When you desire, you plant that (seed or idea) within the subconscious mind (womb), then through visualization and imagination you assume that state of being or having that which you desire, and in consciousness it is conceived and develops into form/reality. When it is fully developed (accepted/believed by you as true) and able to sustain itself in matter, it is delivered to you (manifestation/creation) in this world of form and substance.

Obviously, if your thoughts are focused on debt then that is what you will beget. Your thoughts and feelings combine to bring forth or deliver to you the exact likeness of themselves. Everything after its own kind.

yielding seed after their kind

I know alot of writing on the Law of attraction uses the word “Universe” and that is fine, but I want to quickly define consciousness as I understand it. Consciousness is the container of creation, the womb of all created. Consciousness is everything, and in everything - it is the “Universe” and it is you. It is your thoughts, your desires, and the manifestations. Every single thing in this universe is consciousness. At its base level - at the subatomic level, ALL IS ONE SUBSTANCE.

So this law, this Law of Attraction is simply consciousness communicating with itself in various forms and at various levels, renewing itself, begetting itself, and working to bring about that which it/you desires.

There truly is nothing you can conceive of, that you cannot be, do, or have.

Projection Makes Perception, Vision Creates Reality

This is a quote from A Course In Miracles, Chapter 21 - Introduction.

Projection makes perception. The world you see is what you gave it, nothing more than that. But though it is no more than that, it is not less. Therefore, to you it is important. It is the witness to your state of mind, the outside picture of an inward condition. As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. Perception is a result and not a cause. And that is why order of difficulty in miracles is meaningless. Everything looked upon with vision is healed and holy. Nothing perceived without it means anything. And where there is no meaning, there is chaos.

Damnation is your judgment on yourself, and this you will project upon the world. See it as damned, and all you see is what you did to hurt the Son of God. If you behold disaster and catastrophe, you tried to crucify him. If you see holiness and hope, you joined the Will of God to set him free. There is no choice that lies between these two decisions. And you will see the witness to the choice you made, and learn from this to recognize which one you chose.

I like this quote for a couple reasons. First, it really lays it on the line regarding the reality we see. Everything we perceive outside of ourselves is a mirror to our inner state of being. Secondly, everything we choose to project outside ourselves is a choice that can be changed.

Now, keeping this in mind - take a minute to just look around you. What do you see in the world you’ve created? Conflict or Love? Blame or forgiveness? Abundance or lack? Joy or suffering? How much joy & abundance have you created for yourself?

If every instance of suffering we observe outside ourselves is in fact an image of our inner state of suffering - WOW, it appears I still have much work to do!!

My first question then is how do I get rid of it and project a state of peace and joy instead? How can I control my thoughts, take dominion over them and release myself from this world of poverty, hunger, sorrow, and suffering? I want to live in a world of fullness, abundance, joy, and love - so what are the steps necessary to get from where I am now to where I desire to be?

According to the text in the next section of this chapter, it is VISION. Vision is our salvation. When we reject our bodily perceptions and turn within the mind to Vision, we stop the cycle of projection and begin to create from our desires.

This is no easy step, it requires control of our thoughts. To see a situation bodily with physical sight is usually persuasive enough to be considered “Truth” and accepted as fact. When we begin to understand the process of Intentional Manifestation we see there is another way. We realize that what we see with our eyes is the past thoughts of the mind, it isn’t happening NOW, it is a past thought made manifest - so the ONLY way to change it is to think different thoughts NOW. If you see a overdrawn bank account now, know it’s cause is a past thought of LACK. Now think abundance. In this moment you have all the power in the universe to change anything and everything in your life. You hold that power in your thoughts.

Vision is the opposite of Sight. While sight relies on your eyes to perceive the past thoughts you’ve manifested, Vision is the process of perceiving what you desire NOW (which will play out as a future manifestation outside yourself). This is you intentionally imagining or envisioning your future as you desire it NOW.

Our thoughts are images, and when held within the mind with belief - they become our reality.

Everyday, decide to EnVision the person you wish to be, the world you want to live in, and the experiences you wish to have and then make it so.

Why Isn’t The Universe Giving Me What I Want?

In my post today I want to address two issues that I keep noticing as I read law of attraction forums and other blogs about the Law of Attraction.

First and foremost is the notion that the Law of Attraction “Isn’t Working” for some reason or another.

Second, the idea that some supreme intelligence OUT THERE in the “Universe” is either giving something to you or holding it away from you.

Both of these ideas are flawed at their core. Primarily they are flawed because there is no POWER OUT THERE, all power comes from within. Nothing nor NOBODY exists in this world, or the entire universe that either gives anything to you nor holds anything away from you.

It is all your doing. YOU, YOU, YOU - Your life situation and experience is entirely dependent upon you. There are many factors which combine to manifest your reality, but the primary factor is your thoughts.

Ego based thoughts project your past experiences and beliefs into the future.

Conscious thought and presence creates.

It is that simple. If what you desire to experience isn’t happening, it isn’t because the “Universe” isn’t making it happen, it is because your thoughts are aligned with Ego and you are blocking the manifestation - or I should say you are not allowing yourself to perceive it, because in truth it is already made manifest.

Come on back tomorrow and I’ll discuss how you block yourself from experiencing your manifestations.

My Ego Is My Friend

as posted Feb/2008

My ego is my friend because without it there is no thought, no thought process, no formed belief, and no desire. All of these things work together to create what I perceive as reality - NOW.

Outside of thought there is only KNOWING, this is the God State.

For some reason my ego doesn’t yet understand, the God State chose to become the ego mind, to create through a system of belief, thought, emotion, and perception a physical reality in which to experience.

I (this identity and thought machine) will never KNOW why, but I can discover the system which underlies this holographic reality I perceive. I can understand and acknowledge that all I think I know is not true and open this mind to every possibility.

As long as I am this ego with a physical structure & personal identity, perceiving an outside world - I will not be in the God State. That is ok. I can know that is my true self - beyond this illusion. I can choose what I believe, what I think, how I feel, and what I desire to experience - and when I do - I can recode it and experience anything and everything as I choose it to be.

There are two parts of ego there is the part that is self taught (back story/identity) and then there is the part that is potential (now). The difference between the two is how & what is created as reality to experience.

If we think back to the very first “memory” of ego, that is the beginning of the “story” of ourself - maybe it was feeling loved, maybe it was being reprimanded, or maybe it was feeling alone - whatever that initial thought - belief - perception - feeling was it set up the creation loop we’ve been experiencing.

this is the self taught ego - where everything is a spiral or offshoot from the initial thought. Each adding to the next to create our story.

None of which is true, it is just a story.

To tap into the potential reality - just let it all go…. knowing there was no truth in it, it was all perception - and choose to see things differently NOW.

Kill the ego - no.
Let go of what is not true - yes.

Are You Blocking Your Own Light?

Often during the manifestation process, I rely too heavily upon perception to gauge my progress. This is detrimental to the manifestation process. This reliance also happens to be one of my biggest hurdles to overcome on my path.

The reason relying upon perceptions to gauge the manifestation process is erronous is that most of us cannot see beyond the veil of our physical senses. In order to lift that veil and glimpse Truth, we must believe and have faith that Truth is made manifest even when it lies beyond our current perceptions.

We are locked into our physical senses, and only “See” or KNOW what we allow through our veil of perception. This SEEING of what we define as our REALITY is often even further refined and limited by our belief systems, our past, and our judgements. So, only a tiny fraction of all that is possible (TRUTH) is ever made manifest in our awareness, and we remain blind.

Perception is not Truth. We can believe it is, but this is in itself an erronous perception. Perception is simply that which we allow into our awareness, what we choose to see, to believe, or to experience.

In a very real sense, we block our own light, we block truth.

The truth is always the same. Perceptions change. Often we don’t see TRUTH simply because our attention is so focused upon our perceptions of the situation. When we take our eyes off of the prize, and stop focusing on our desires, we can only see through our filtered perception of TRUTH and we block our manifestations from entering into our physical awareness.

Seeing truth means knowing not only that there is more than one way down a mountain, it means KNOWING that ALL paths lead down the mountain. The truth doesn’t lie in anything you perceive, it lies in your desire, and it lies in your DECISION to be, do, or have that which you desire.

This is YOUR DREAM, fear not - all paths lead to your desires.

How We Block Manifestations

as posted September 23, 2007

We can never truly block a manifestation. We can, however, misperceive the manifestation.

What this means is that we (physical body) are a filtering device. Through our five physical senses, our memories, judgements, and beliefs, we filter the TRUE REALITY (which is always 100% perfect) and only allow ourselves to perceive what aligns with, or can fit through those filters (memory/judgements/beliefs).

So, lets say I desire to earn $10,000. this month to pay my monthly expenses plus pay off a credit debt I have. The moment I desire it, it comes into being. Now $10,000 doesn’t automatically and magically get deposited into my bank account, what happens is that out there in the unseen spaces things are clicking, are working together to bring me the $10,000 - so the moment I desire and set that intention, it is so. It is all worked out, all figured out, all set into motion to come about.

Now, if I doubt it can really happen because I believe there is no possible way for me to earn that much in such a small space of time, it doesn’t stop what has already been created, but those thoughts, feelings, and beliefs I hold which are out of alignment with the manifestation prevent me from experiencing it.

Perhaps there was a person, a situation, an event which was to bring me that money in very short order, but because of my BLOCKS, I didn’t even notice it, didn’t see that path right in front of me.

I missed it, because although it existed as potential, I couldn’t see it. I prevented myself from having that which I desired and created for myself.

Belief is the biggest block to allowing. If what you desire is not made manifest, look to your beliefs and work through them.

YOU Are A Manifesting Machine

originally posted:  September 27, 2007

You are a manifesting machine. You manifest your reality 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

You already do it, you’ve been doing it all along, and you will continue to do it as long as you are in a body.

You cannot stop doing it, it is a “System” set in place at the beginning and will not cease to operate so long as we are experiencing life in this realm.

The one thing you can do, you should do, and I hope you will do is learn how to make this “System” work for you rather than against you.

How The System Works
Our thoughts are images which we have learned to associate with words. Every thought is an image. The images in our mind either perpetuate or create experiences.

These images can be a memories or visions of a yet unexperienced but desired state, but it is still an image in your mind. This is then impressed upon the subconscious which then goes to work manifesting it into physical form.

Each image in your mind is stored in the brain (database). It is stored here by what is referred to in NEW THOUGHT as the Ego Mind. The Ego mind is the part of your brain which is both the database and the operator of it.

When an image is stored it is associated with an experience (sensory), an emotion, or both and when all are combined it forms a BELIEF about this experience. Anytime we have a new experience, the brain runs it through this database (filter) to find any other experiences which are similar. It pulls this information and this new experience is FILTERED through the BELIEF (past experience, past sesory perceptions, and formed beliefs). The brain rarely contemplates if these held beliefs are true or not, it just calls them up and uses them as a filter for perception.

At this point then only that which aligns with this past experience & BELIEF is allowed into our awareness (perception).

Everything else is blocked from our awareness. We only see, hear, feel, taste, smell and experience those things which make it through this filter into our ego-based awareness.

So we have thoughts (mental images), which then is made manifest into reality, our brain takes what the body experiences through the physical senses and runs it through the filters (past experiences and formed beliefs), then allows only what aligns with or makes it through the filter.

Changing the System
If we desire to experience something which isn’t making it through the filter the only way to do so is to find that part of the filtering system which is preventing the experience and remove it.

How do we do this? First we must acknowledge what we believe, remember, or think which is filtering a desired state from our awareness. Then we must look at it closely and decide it we need to retain this belief, this memory, this judgement of a past experience or thought. If not, we simply acknowledge it isn’t true and replace it with a truth we desire to hold instead.
