Prosperity Attraction – you create your own reality

Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

You may have thought that you struck gold when you first became aware of the Law of Attraction. Learning that every desire you ever wanted is yours simply by asking the universe to give it to you is nothing short of amazing. The proof of its validity backed, not by theory, but by science. Quantum physics and the universal laws explain that everything is made of energy. Everything. Therefore, your thoughts and desires are simply non-physical realities that have yet to be manifested in the physical. All that is required, to manifest the non-physical seed of thought to a physical reality in your life, is to nurture that seed with your focused energy. The only restrictions are that you don’t focus on what you don’t want or you will get more of that; and that you allow what it is that you desire to come to you.

If you are like me, you thought, wow! This is too good to be true. I have been struggling and worrying for so many years when all I had to do to create the life of my dreams was to ask and receive.

And so you began. You did the first and most imperative requirement for any truth to be realized, you believed. You learned all you could about this ‘new,’ cutting-edge philosophy that, actually, has been around for thousands of years. You read the books, listened to the CDs and found like-minded others in order to learn more, and master this skill of attracting. You asked. Waited. And looked for the results.

And it worked, sort of, but not quite, and certainly not every time. Everything you wanted didn’t seem to come quite as easily as you thought it was supposed to. Some things came. That was amazing and cool. However, many things did not. That was a bit frustrating. You still aren’t driving that dream car you envisioned up to your million-dollar home or running a successful and thriving business. Like you, I thought, ‘Why is this not working for me? Did I falsely believe, even though my intuition so strongly supported me? Why does it work sometimes and not all of the time? What am I missing?’ After hundreds of books, programs, discussions and personal experiences, I am ecstatic to report that the Law of Attraction and its foundation are real. I have seen it work over and over and over again. You can create and manifest everything you ever truly desire in life. No exceptions. Every time. But, here’s the information that you may be missing (that I was missing!). The Law of Attraction works as long as you have done three imperatives things first. Like any amazing process, there are key elements that must be in place before all circuits can fire. Just like an airplane can take you anywhere in the world you want to go, as long as there are key elements acknowledged and accounted for before you take off. Assuming all the mechanics are good, you still have to know where you are starting from, have a plan for where you want to go and have someone or something that agrees with that plan to take you there. If any one of those elements is missing or compromised, you may not get to where you want to go, and certainly not in the timeframe you may have anticipated. The Law of Attraction is no different.

There are three primary steps, what I call phases, that must come first before the Law of Attraction can be 100% successful. These three phases are not complicated or foreign. They are extremely simple and natural. However, when something is simple that doesn’t mean it is easy. Since most of us were guided away from this natural knowing from the time we were born, it is not easy to change what we have been taught for so many years. Expanding and evolving takes time and patience. This, in fact, is the most important thing you must know. The Law of Attraction is a process. It takes time to become the deliberate creator of your life. As Abraham, one of the modern pioneers of this law so eloquently says, “You never get it wrong, because you never get it done.” Be easy with yourself and allow the journey and the process to unfold.

The process is this. The first requirement in being a deliberate creator is acknowledging where you are starting. Just like the airplane pilot must know where the plane is taking off from in order to know how to get to the desired destination. You must tap into where you are right now. You are there for a reason. You are always the creator of your life - be it deliberate or by default. You may not consciously know why you are where you are, but parts of you in your subconscious do know. In fact, those parts have manifested exactly what they desired. Simply imposing your conscious desires on the other 88% of your mind, cannot work. You have to start with where you are.

The second requirement of being a deliberate creator and allowing the Law of Attraction to work is articulating what you desire based on the totality of your life; accounting for all segments. Your life is divided into multiple areas of living — called environments. You don’t choose one environment to create, and leave all the others to fend for themselves. You create for all areas simultaneously. If you desire increased responsibility at your job, you don’t forget that you also love and need your pastimes or that you want time with your family. You must take into account all your environments to ensure you are not creating conflicting intentions that end up sabotaging your focus and canceling out everything you think you are creating.

The third requirement is clearing the slate for pure, focused energy. There is a wonderful analogy that explains the importance of this missing element. Most people know that when you cook, there are multiple things that must be in place to ensure an amazing result. If a professional chef buys all the best ingredients, has an incredible recipe, and has access to all the best utensils and appliances, but uses a dirty bowl to mix, no matter what that chef does, the meal is ruined. It cannot work. If you start creating from a bowl that is caked with old food (ideas, habits, beliefs and behaviors), no matter what you attempt to create on top of it, it is tainted. This is the same as creating your life. You cannot create what you desire if you have not cleared away what is already in your bowl. The way I found to remove those blocks is to go where those blocks are structured - in the subconscious mind. Through the use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), the blocks can be addressed, embraced and released leaving a clean slate for your pure, focused energy.
By combining four philosophies into one process (universal laws, the Nine Environments of Holistic Living, NLP and the Law of Attraction) and taking into account where you are now, deliberate creation is absolutely possible and the Law of Attraction really works!

And, remember, this is all a process. You don’t learn this and then, poof, you are a master. You must give yourself time to practice and learn. The key is that you cannot go through the process until you know the process is needed. So, now you know! Enjoy the amazing journey ahead.

Here are my thoughts and steps on how to to “design a life” ..instead of been blown about by the winds of life (like a paper bag), or the currents, like a jelly-fish. Enough similes!

1.Find the VISION. Unless you know where you’re going, you are unlikely to get there. Any place where you are is a good place to start.

Ask yourself:

What activities have you most enjoyed in the last 10 years?

What is fun? What do you treasure?

What do you most want to be doing in the next 10 years?

I’d love to write, help and hopefully even inspire others.

Which of your strengths and weaknesses are a joy to you?

What do people say you are good at?

What is special about you?

List ideally what would you be doing? Living at the beach, writing and travelling…and be financially secure, of course!

Ideally what would you want to be? A successful author was my goal.

Ask WHY do you need those things? What are those status symbols for?

Define your vision. Write it down in less than 10 words. Does it involve other people?

What do I most want to be doing? Why?

What do I most care about? Why?

What steps can I take to move me closer to doing what I really want to do with my life?

Find your niche - your unique skills?

Think about WHO will pay you to enjoy yourself. Instead of worrying about being sacked, think who will pay you to have fun?

Where do you want to work? With whom, in what sort of company? Look for a picture of your ideal environment: home, as well as work.

3. PLAN ahead carefully. Doing this reduces false starts and wrong directions. Most people spend more time planning their annual holiday than they do their “blueprint for life”.

Put it all down in writing. My advice: “Think big, but start small”.

The prominent American psychologist, Carl Rogers said: “The only real security is the preparedness to embrace insecurity”. Be the YOU you most intend to be? Take stock, review your plan and prioritize your life goals.

4. Make the COMMITMENT. Stop saying you’re going to do it and actually DO IT. Put in the work and write out the cheques. This involves going past the point of no return. Make commitments: to yourself, to your loved ones in terms of time, energy and money. Then stick to it and take full responsibility for the outcome.

5. Spell out the details of the PLAN. Think it all through and concentrate hard. What are you going to do? How are you going to do it, step by step? What needs to be done and in what order of priority? What resources do you have at your disposal? What are your expenditure needs? Reaffirm your commitment through a personal budget. Be flexible in your thinking, as circumstances usually change…and we can’t foresee the future. And most importantly, THINK BIG.

6. Develop a network of people to help you achieve your goals (and you can help them achieve their goals at the same time). First, you must be aware of them. It’s a “win-win” situation. Be enthusiastic at all times, because enthusiasm is catching.

7. Take ACTION, that first step…then the next will follow naturally …and far more easily. Nothing can stop you now. “Roll up the sleeves” and get down to work. I believe the first prerequisite for success is loving what you do. I love writing, although it’s very lonely (and probably the world’s most solitary occupation). Always remember, life is not a 100 metres sprint - it’s a marathon. So rest when you feel you need to and don’t feel guilty about it (something I have to learn!). Have fun along the journey. Perservere and persist in your quest.

Take responsibility for your own abundance and your learning throughout the ‘game of life’. Appreciate your abundance daily and give thanks to the Universe for what you do have.

Have faith in yourself - believe deeply in yourself, but even more deeply in a Power far Greater than yourself… who loves you and wants what’s best for you. The spiritual journey may take far longer than you thought, so be patient.

NB:

Always remember,

The measure of success is not money, but learning and growth.

Measure success in learning and growth - nothing else is important. Work is a place each of us creates in order to grow. It is the laboratory for experimenting with our potential

10. When working for yourself, this is a time of unprecedented change in your life. Work allows you to put into place skills and knowledge acquired through education. It is a time to experiment with our potential and the various demands made upon us. Initially we learn to work in teams, working towards a common objective. Then gradually in our working careers we learn to take on more and more responsibility.

Believe you deserve to be abundant - though not more than others. It’s a matter of finding a balance between your ambitions and your responsibilities. Be accountable and socially responsible.

You can’t force people to change. Listen to your intuition, truth and love. That is the “voice” of the Higher Power, God speaking to you.

I have just finished watching the movie “Bridge to Terabithia” with my nephews. Terabithia was a place of make-believe borne out of the very fertile imagination of Leslie Burke who did not have TV at home. In Terabithia, weird creatures that only the mind can conceive come to life. In Terabithia, all secret wishes and dreams come true.

“That which is conceived within, will eventually be realized without.” That is the law of attraction. A law that is part of this unerring universe. What if we create our own Terabithia? A place in our mind where our dearest wishes and dreams are true already. Where we can touch and feel, smell, hear, see, taste and interact the things we want, and experience the ideal life we want to have. As the law dictates, everything will eventually become a reality.

Most adults often find this difficult to do probably because we believe too much in reality. Time spent in imagination is time wasted and any product of the imagination is mere fantasy. The reality is that there is a recession, some people have lost their jobs, and some their homes. Everywhere, people are getting poorer and life is getting harder. So we have to work harder, and harder, but is struggling really the answer? If all you have within are struggles to make ends meet and then by the law of attraction that is all you will be experiencing.

I think scarcity in this universe would mean the end of it. And there has been perceived scarcity in this universe since time immemorial. The struggle for power and dominion, the perpetual hunger for money, and the insatiable need to be the best than the rest are all signs of this perceived scarcity. There is abundance in the universe because that is the only way that this collection of vibrating energy of cosmic proportion can operate. The law of attraction is the tool to connect to this abundant universe.

It is time to use the mind for more than where to get money for the next mortgage. Give it a rest, allow it to relax and let it soar to a place where you already have the money for the next mortgage. And after you have gone to that place and have already experienced the solution, allow yourself to forget for a few hours or a day. You will be surprised at how you have attracted the solution to your problem.

It seems really crazy to be doing all that law of attraction stuff and most of all forgetting about your mortgage. You would soon be out on the street if you forget your mortgage. But, really, can you say that obsessing and relentlessly turning the problems over and over in your mind brings you the solution to your dilemma? You have been doing that for years and you are still doing that now, there must be a better way.

Why does the poor gets poorer and rich gets richer? Because the poor’s man mind is focused on poverty and his financial problems, while the rich man’s mind is focused on creating ideas to grow his riches. But most rich people are self-made. True! By combining action with creative thinking and looking beyond their realities, these self-made billionaires have successfully lived their ideal lives.

Choose your ideal life today. Use the power of the law of attraction to manifest it in your reality.

A firm believer of the law of attraction

Admin note: For information purposes only.

Attachment is one of the major reasons why we fail to manifest our desires through the law of attraction. This is because the very act of desperately desiring something conveys to the universe that something is not in existence in the mental plane or in the material plane. By the law of attraction, that is what it is going to be.

Attachment prevents us from becoming who we truly are and fulfilling our potentials and purpose. Being attached to object/situation/person means we are basing our life’s decisions, our actions and words on that object/situation/people. This alone is a violation of the universal law of life which is flow and freedom.

Wanting something so badly begets all the negative energies that prevents the law of attraction from working in our favor or not working at all. From attachment comes out fear, jealousy, greed, and hopelessness among others. Attachment creates in us a feeling of fear that our desire is not going to be manifested. This is caused by the perception that our happiness greatly depends on this object/situation/person so we MUST HAVE that desire manifested NOW. The irony is that it is not going to manifest because your predominant thought is “fear because of lack.” Remember that the law of attraction manifests your predominant thoughts.

This comes from personal experience. I wanted it to manifest so much because I thought my happiness depends on it. I wanted it to happen the next day, not next week. So my affirmations went something like this, “Please give it now” or “Please manifest it now.” I begged and begged (begging is a big no-no when manifesting with the law of attraction) but nothing happened the next day. So I repeated the same process and still it didn’t manifest. I forgot about it, not intentionally, but it was a good thing because that was when it manifested.

In Magnetizing Your Heart’s Desire, Sharon Warren illustrates the difference between a CREATOR and a REACTOR. Creator is someone who creates with the universe using the law of attraction, while a reactor is just someone who responds to the universe. She also pointed out that the word REACTOR has the same letters as the word CREATOR only in different order.

If you are attached to an object/situation/person, you will never be more than a REACTOR. You will always be responding to this object/situation/person which you consider to be your world or your universe.

Much has been said about the law of attraction already. Many books have been written about manifesting using the law of attraction. It has become a multi-million business in the internet alone. The world wide web is filled with information about it (though you have to sift through them to find the original and quality content rather than than commercialized ones).

The basic principles of the law of attraction are (1) everything is energy, including our thoughts; (2) like energy attracts the same into the outward reality. Manifesting with the law of attraction involves consciously or deliberately choosing your thoughts so that it is predominantly about the situation or object you desire. Therefore, the first step to manifesting with the law of attraction is knowing what you desire.

The process of creation starts with what you want to create in your reality. You cannot manifest something that you cannot define in words or images. Remember that to activate the law of attraction, your thoughts must be focused on the object of your desire.

The very purpose of this article is to discuss what desires you can manifest with the law of attraction. I have received many requests to have an ex-lover come back. It is not surprising because many have been claimed that you can manifest everything you desire through the law of attraction. Even my own site has said so. Let me clarify this statement.

I believe that we are one in essence with the entire universe. What the universe is, so are we. I have mentioned this in my article the Universe and You and I am going to repeat it here. The nature of the universe is flowing. It is constantly moving forward. You can’t go physically back to the past. The law of attraction is a law that abides with the universe. In order for your desires to be manifested easily and effortlessly, your desire must be one that is congruent with the nature of the universe. It must be one that allows you to move forward, to flow, or to improve.

The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful. -Wallace Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich

If you desire something like bringing an ex lover back, you are hoarding an energy of the past. You are refusing change, you are refusing to flow or move forward. It will be like pushing against nature or swimming against a strong current. For all its power, the law of attraction cannot be used to control another person’s will or decision because it is against its very nature. It is also against your very nature to be stuck in the past.

So what desires can be manifested using the law of attraction? Here are some suggestions:

1. Ideal relationships (romantic, friendship, family, business, professional) - one that allows you to grow as a person and as a partner
2. Abundance and prosperity
3. Better career or promotion
4. Better health
5. Healing
6. Spirituality
7. Self improvement

Manifesting with the law of attraction is like ordering food in a restaurant, if you are in a Japanese restaurant, do not order Mexican foods because you are not likely to get it. If your desires are in alignment with your nature, miracles will abound in your life. The key to doing this is to love and value yourself first. Your life has a purpose. Your desires are the means to fulfilling your purpose and you can manifest your desires with the law of attraction

Imagine two big spotlights. One is pointed upward, casting light far into the air. The other is pointed downward and buried into the earth - no light is cast at all.

This is like intent.

There are only two possible intentions in any given moment: the intent to learn about loving yourself and others, and the intent to protect against pain with some form of controlling behavior.

When you consciously choose the intent to learn, your light points upward, shining upon the truth that will guide you in your highest good. Your mind opens and becomes a receiver of the information you need to support yourself in manifesting your dreams. Consciously choosing the intent to learn is the most powerful thing we can do. When we consciously choose the intent to learn, we open ourselves to our Higher Self - the part of us that connects us with the information and creativity in the universe.

When we unconsciously choose the intent to control, we shut off access to truth. Our mind closes and becomes like a closed circuit TV - recycling the old information that has been programmed into our mind. We become stuck in our limited mind, operating from the false beliefs that we learned as we were growing up. We become stuck in the past, recreating old hurts.

The challenge here is that our unconscious automatic choice is to control. When we were growing up, we all had to learn many ways to control to survive the challenges of childhood. We learned ways of trying to have control over how people feel about us and treat us, such as anger, blame, judgment, righteousness, or compliance. We learned ways to protect against losing ourselves to another’s control, such as resisting or withdrawing. We learned many addictive ways of avoiding feeling our pain, such using food, drugs, alcohol, TV, Internet, sex, work, sports, gambling, shopping, self-judgment, and so on - all to have control over not feeling our painful feelings.

Most people immediately, and unconsciously, choose the intent to control the moment they feel any anxiety. The problem is that the intent to control is self-abandonment, always causing even more fear, anxiety or depression. Instead of shining the light of love upon your distress in order to learn and heal, you shove the light into the ground, causing more darkness.

Choosing your intent is the essence of free will, and it determines what you feel and what you manifest. While you might have momentary pleasure when something good happens, the deep joy and wellbeing that we all seek, and the ability to manifest your dreams, is the result of your intent to learn about loving yourself and others.

The challenge in our lives is to REMEMBER that we are at choice - to remember to choose the intent to learn.

How can you remember to consciously choose the intent to learn? How can you remember, the moment you feel any fear, anxiety, or any stress, to open to learning about what you are thinking or doing that is creating this stress? What can you do to stop your automatic reactive controlling behavior?

First of all, you need to accept that this is a lifetime practice - not something that will occur quickly. We have all been practicing the intent to control for most of our lives, so it will take much practice to even remember that there is another choice.

The place to start is to practice noticing your feelings throughout a day. Perhaps wearing a rubber band that you can snap on your wrist will remind you to check inside to see how you are feeling. You cannot begin to learn about your thoughts and actions that are causing your feelings until you are aware of your painful feelings. You cannot stop your addictive anesthetics until you are WILLING to feel your feelings and take responsibility for them.

If you decide that you are willing to feel your feelings, that willingness will lead you to becoming more and more conscious of your feelings. This is the beginning of being able to consciously choose your intent to learn.

The inner self or the SOUL is the one true self. The real you.

The SOUL is

… forever at peace

… forever one with the universe

… enjoys silence

… forever loved & in love

… forever

… always secure

With your true being, you have an unshakable confidence in yourself. You know you are a complete being and sharing yourself is an act out of true love and not out of selfishness.

Your every action is selfless & yet you drive satisfaction by doing it.

Every moment is lived to the fullest, with purpose and you spent enjoying it.

Energy flows freely, purely & powerfully.

Every moment is magical & creative.

Giving is easy because you know you have so much.

Love is your reason for your every action.

One can never truly point where the soul is located and one can never fully understand it unless one lives with the soul. It is you, & at the same time so much greater than you.

Bring to mind a time when you decided that you wanted something in your life; a vacation, a special book, or a household item. Did you notice that things relating to what you were wanting appeared out of nowhere–either you overheard someone talking about it, noticed an advertisement, a billboard or even junk mail? This, my friends, is the power of the Law of Attraction at work. The Law of Attraction states that all forms of matter and energy are attracted to that which is of a like vibration. “Like attracts like.” The thoughts we hold attract similar thoughts and become large masses of thoughts. These thoughts are also called vibrations.

I have been following the teaching of Abraham-Hicks, (one of the teachers of The Law of Attraction) for many years, and have adopted many of the suggestions offered from their work. Here is Abraham’s explanation of vibration.

If you’re wondering what you are vibrating, observe your life. It’s a perfect match. What you are living is what you are vibrating, without exception. So, if you’ve got something that you don’t want, identify what it is within your vibration that is giving it to you. The Law of Attraction is powerful, and whatever you are vibrating, the Universe will match.

One of the powerful tools I use from the Abraham teachings is the Creation Box. A Creation Box is simply a box or container where you store symbols, pictures, or descriptions, of your desires. Your Creation Box can be any size, shape, or colour–it is for you to enjoy and have fun with. A Creation Box helps you purify your vibration; in other words, you become more focused on the desire you put in it. Fill your Creation Box with pictures you tear out of magazines, sketches, doodles, or special notes that describe what you want. As you begin to play with your Creation Box, you will be knocked over by the speed and efficiency with which the Law of Attraction responds to the desires you have placed in your box.

Whatever you are focusing on, be it real or imagined, causes you to vibrate–and that vibration is what the Law of Attraction accepts as your point of attraction. The Law of Attraction does not know or care why you are vibrating–it only responds to your vibration. You get more of what you want and you get more of what you don’t want. The Creation Box process helps you to think, feel, and vibrate MORE of what you desire. I’ve been using a Creation Box since 1995, placing into it things that I want while remembering that the key here is not to become attached to how it will come to me.

Recently, a friend of mine noticed my Creation Box in my home and was curious about its purpose and contents. After explaining its purpose, I opened it up to share some of the special things I wanted to manifest. To my delight, I realized that a number of magazine clippings and notes of things I had desired had already come to me!

I hosted a Creation Box building party at my home and each of us created a special box for our dreams and desires. I invite you to prepare your special Creation Box with your friends and family, and watch your desires come to you in ways you couldn’t have imagined.

Wow! Another new year? Where did all the time go? As you look back, did you achieve all that you set out to do last year? Are you where you want to be in all aspects of your life? How long did you follow through on your New Year’s resolutions? Or did they sputter out within a few days or a few weeks?
