Manifesting
- The Experiment
The following is an excerpt from the introduction to the book
Manifesting Your Heart's Desire, Authors Fred Fengler and Todd Varnum:
"It all began when two trained scientists were drawn together by a
series of events too unlikely to be mere coincidence. Following their
curiosity, they organized and participated in a group of diverse,
unconnected people who shared the same fascination with the question
"What happens if we assume we can create the lives we want?"
This started a train of thought for me along similar lines but with a
bit of a twist: What would happen if a group of people decided to
assume that the Universe is willing to give them the life of their
dreams with little effort on their own part, that all they needed to
do was follow the thread of energy that appeared to be the most
prominent in their life day after day? What if one assumes that
beginning on the day that one decides to embark upon such an
experiment, that the Universe will immediately begin bringing that
person the resources, people, guidance and wisdom needed to manifest
what ever is desired, simply by being open to receive it? And what if,
one of the easier ways to go about this is by following the thread of
synchronicity as it appears in ones life? This whole concept really
intrigued me and my first thought was to create a new e-group where
people could connect and share their experiences with synchronicity
and any thing else that enhanced this process, including doing what
ever one can to feel good each day. However, that really felt like
more work than I am able to take on at the present time. What did
begin to make sense was creating a page on my site that outlines this
experiment and ask anyone who wants to be involved to share what they
are experiencing as time goes on so that others may also benefit.
Perhaps there are tools or techniques that someone finds helpful that
they would like to share and those could be uploaded to that section
of my site. When I hear of someone else who has manifested something
wonderful using a given technique or affirmation, it helps to give me
more faith that it could work for me too. Inspiration is one of the
greatest tools we have for shifting old paradigms, for if one person
can do it, we all can!
I believe, no, I KNOW that we are all capable of manifesting many
wonderful things in our lives. That each of us has come into this
lifetime with the ability to send forth our thoughts and emotions with
such great focus and intensity that we automatically attract a wide
range of experiences and things to ourselves. Most of us do this by
default; we focus on things we don't want as well as the things we do
want and thus our lives are a mixed bag of experiences. Yet, what
would happen if a group of people decided to commit to finding the
easiest and quickest ways possible of recreating life experience so
that it more accurately reflects the beauty and abundance of our own
Souls? Which by the way, do not experience lack, worry or fear. Ever.
Admittedly, I am not the most patient of people and I can be downright
lazy when it comes to "working hard" to manifest something I desire in
my life. I have done my share of burning both ends of the candle,
beating my head against a wall trying to bang something into place,
struggled with issues that I thought would be with me forever. When I
really desire something, I desire it NOW, not next week, next month or
five years from now. Traits that I was taught were not so wonderful
indeed! Yet, my own guidance coming through the Grandfathers started
me thinking: what if my desire to manifest something in the blink of
an eye is really my own Soul, my Expanded Self, sharing with me that
it IS supposed to be that way! What if my desire to have things come
easily is once again my own beloved Expanded Self whispering "YES!"
What if two of the traits that my family has bemoaned over the years
are some of the very things that could help me launch new creations
that are far more enjoyable in an easy and rapid manner. It is said
not only in Metaphysical teachings but in the Bible as well "that even
before one has asked, it shall be given". So just maybe, it really is
meant to be fun and easy and enjoyable and blissful. Just maybe it is
possible to manifest things more and more quickly until we all reach a
point of literally pulling things out of thin air. Everything we could
possibly need is already here. We shift our consciousness from one of
lack to abundance and then abundance appears in our lives. We shift
our focus from ill health to great health and that too appears in our
lives. I know from personal experience that shifting from expecting
problems to expecting the best produces amazing results. And quickly
too! We are already literally pulling things to us out of the "unseen"
that is Spirit. We impress upon the Divine energy that is within us
and every single thing we can name (and those things we are currently
unaware of) what it is we desire either consciously or by default, and
here it comes. It has to. It is Universal Law. Every spiritual master
down through the ages has stated this as absolute fact. They have also
stated that it is truth that if they can do it, so can you and I.
Several years ago I was guided to fly to New York City for a week. I
had no idea where the money would come from. New York is not the least
expensive destination in the world and my bank balance certainly
wasn't brimming over to the point where I could pay my bills and still
be able to take this journey. Yet when talking to friends about it,
all of them, to the last man/woman said they had no worries that the
money would come. Each of them saw me in NYC and enjoying myself and
doing what ever it was I needed to be doing there. It just didn't
occur to any of them that I would not be able to afford to go. They
were right. Money started coming from surprising sources. One friend
suddenly sold her home that had been on the market for ages without
even a nibble and yet suddenly, there it was selling which left her
flushed with abundance. Bless her, she shared some of that abundance
with me "because of all you have done for me and because I love you"
and that was the final amount I needed. Just recently another friend
said to me "you have always been good at attracting to you what you
need" and upon reflection, I realized she was right! Each time I truly
desired something in my life, it has manifested. Not always in ways I
would have expected, yet it has manifested. Why? What was I doing that
was empowering me to manifest and how could I better harness it so I
could manifest the really BIG things I have desired for years and yet
still seem just a bit out of reach? I talked to other people that
seemed to find it easier than many others they knew to manifest
things. They too had many of the same questions as me. Why is it that
some people are able to manifest all really wonderful things while
others struggle? Why is it that we are able to manifest to a certain
extent and then find it difficult to go beyond that? And if we can
harness what we ARE doing right, can we teach it to others? And in
this teaching to others, can we go beyond what we already are able to
manifest and pull everyone else along with us that is also willing to
go beyond, making it that much easier for them? Hence this experiment.
Heaven knows I don't have all the answers myself. I keep experimenting
with different things the Grandfathers and my other Guides and Angels
suggest and I throw those things out in my newsletters to see if
others might find them helpful. I read every book, listen to every
tape, visit websites, any source where I can find out about and learn
more on this manifesting business and Universal Law. I meditate on it
almost daily. I ask for validations and signs. How can we make it
quicker and easier? And is it even okay to ask that it does become
easier? The response to this last question was to my mind most
profound. For what I heard was "The more that each of you feels you
are totally capable of creating anything that you desire, the faster
you will have peace and the faster Humankind will evolve". Sounds like
a good reason to me!
On the next page and hopefully other pages to come, I shall be listing
different things that I have been working with that have helped me
manifest all the good that is already in my life. Some of the tools I
shall offer are books, essences, affirmations, audio tapes, websites,
crystals, anything that I come across that has been helpful for me and
others. Yet I also don't want this to just be about me throwing things
out there. I also want to hear from those of you that desire to
participate in this experiment as I shall be outlining below. What
works for you? If you use any of the techniques or resources that will
be outlined in the weeks and months to come, what have your results
been? I would really like to be able to upload everyone's comments,
suggestions and tools that they have used to these pages so that they
may benefit others. Perhaps there can even be a questions and answers
page though I do ask that others please do feel free to answer
questions as well for surely I simply cannot do it all myself. You can
submit questions and answers to me and I will be happy to upload them
as quickly as I can. If you do not want your name to be use, I will
designate you as Anonymous though please be sure to let me know!
I know there is great power that occurs when a group of people feel
connected and working towards a common goal. I have seen many miracles
manifest from such group energy, even a very small group! My desire
too is that these pages be for all of you. I welcome suggestions,
comments, anything that any of you would like to see here, if it is
doable and for the common good, I am all for it! Please be aware
though that my computer skills are somewhat basic so if it is too
difficult for me to do initially, please allow me time to attract the
proper help for it, VBG!
Okay, with all the above said, here is a basic outline of what we
shall be doing:
The first thing is to designate a journal specifically for use with
this experiment. You will need and want a written record of everything
you are doing for future reference.
Select a "start day". When you first wake up that morning you are
going to begin the day focusing on the following: "Today I have
decided to assume that the Universe is willing to give me the life of
my dreams with little effort on my part. All I need do is to follow
the thread of joyful energy that appears to be the most prominent in
my life today. I believe that in doing so, the Universe will
immediately begin bringing to me the things and experiences and people
that will enhance my feelings of joy and fulfillment in my life. I
expect Miracles and I receive them. I expect only joy and I receive
it. I know that it is my focus via my thoughts and feelings that
create the life I experience". Or of course adapt this to however it
might feel right to you. The actual words are not important. Your
intent to create the life you desire to live is!
Next, choose one small thing to be going on with that you feel will be
fairly easy for you to manifest. If you are a very experienced
manifester, pick something that until now has been a struggle for you.
Its often better for beginners to start with something small and easy
such as a new pair of shoes because that gives you quick feedback
which of course helps you to build confidence. Make sure it is
something you really do want, that would add to the pleasure and joy
in your life.
I will be listing some tools and more will be added as time goes on,
on a separate page (link below). Select from this list those tools
that really resonate for you and leave the rest. Commit to working
with these tools preferably on a daily basis, even 5 or 10 minutes a
day in many cases is enough. The important thing is to be consistent!
As you are working with the tools you have selected, don't rush
through them but really try and get into the feel of what you are
doing. What I have found is that the more focused I am on the process
the better the result.
Do your best not to worry or focus too much on the outcome when
working with any of these tools but focus more on how they make you
feel as you are doing them. This is very important, for I have also
found that for example when I am doing affirmations and am having fun
writing them, the results are always far better than I could have
hoped for! Likewise, if you choose a tool and then decide its not
really much fun for you, drop it. If it isn't fun, don't do it!
Each time you work with a tool, at the end of the day record in your
journal how your day went, how did you feel, what did other people say
to you that really stuck in your mind. Do this each time, it is
extremely important, especially if you choose to begin working with
and paying attention to Synchronicity!
Find ways to get your mind off what the rest of the world is doing.
This is often a sticking point for many of us who watch the news on
the telly or read the papers. I don't anymore. It sure doesn't make me
feel good, and I can't see how it could possibly help anyone else for
me to put my focus and energy on things that are "wrong". I am not
saying that we should all ignore the tragedies nor that we shouldn't
all do our bit in what ever way we feel guided to, to help make the
world a better place. But diving into the muck of "how terrible
everything is" will only attract more things for people to feel badly
about. I prefer to focus on being for peace, for all people prospering
and doing well in their lives. For me that feels much more empowering
for me AND them! After reading of how many other folks found their
lives changing for the better once they too stopped watching the news
and reading the papers, it just made sense to me. And happy, healthy,
abundant people do much more for the world as a whole than those who
insist on focusing on how "how terrible everything is". Happy,
healthy, abundant people automatically attract the resources and ways
to help empower others to be happy, healthy and abundant as well.
Pay attention to your nightly dreams. Keep a dream journal if you can,
even just a few quick notes will help you to retain the energy of the
dream. Your dreams are a valuable source of information!
Please share what you are learning and doing with the rest of us! This
is so important that I cannot stress it enough!
Truly, this is it, just a very simple, basic exploration of tools and
setting of intent! What you will get out of it is what you put into
it. I know these tools work because I have had them work in my own
life. I have heard others say they work because of what has manifested
in their lives. I can't do the work for anyone nor can the rest of the
group. I do know that if someone is willing to put more of their time
and energy on what they DO want instead of what they DON'T want,
miracles happen. And they can come about as quickly as we can allow
them too! Above all, please try to have fun with this! Its meant to be
joyful, not adding to the "work" you already have in your life. Take a
playful and fun-loving attitude towards it all and here's to watching
the grand design of our lives begin unfolding right now! |
