Overcoming the struggle to believe

[Belle]

Dear Cocreators,
I would like to open a debate regarding natural 'thats not going to work ' thoughts that I experience when reading about things like The Secret or the Law of Attraction. Does anyone else experience this? How do they over come it? for instance on David Neagles site, he talks about Alex's getting into her new $1.5m house on the beach within 90 days. My natural je ne se quois thinks - well obviously for me to achieve that i have to spend $xxx on buying into his program...and what if it doesnt work??
Has anyone 'real' experienced the things they say you can? Were all doing this challenge together - has anyone moved into their dream house, met their dream partner, changed their life SO dramatically and purely as a result of LOA? I dont want to be negative, but is this negativity or reality or are they one and the same.
I DO get the thinking behind being positive, and all the stuff ive been reading, I just find it hard to believe some of the claims being made - is that my downfall? lol.

Thanks for your help!
B.xxx

Flew to the United States from the Philippines after setting the intention in 6 months! Got a job in 2 days upon arrival! I have been here for 10 years now.

Met my boyfriend last December after setting the intention in two months!

What you believe is your reality. You create it. So be careful of what you think about. If you are always thinking "it is not going to work", you are putting so much energy on that so it is not going to work for you.

To over come your doubts, you have to calm your thoughts. Try meditating.

Read Abraham Hicks book, "Ask and It's Given" so most of your questions would be answered. Pay attention particularly on the page on Emotional Guidance System. You can also go to Youtube and look for Abraham Hicks if you have not got the chance to get the book quickly.

Happy Manifesting!

Belle,

That's a bit like saying "has anyone learned to walk purely as a result of law of gravity?" If LOA is a LAW then it works in every case, whether someone is aware of it or not, or using it consciously or not.

You don't need any program or course or workshop to change your life. There is lots of information freely available on the abraham-hicks website and loads of videos currently available on Youtube (just search for Esther Hicks). I've been a deliberate creator for about 6 years and all I've ever bought are a few books (all the Esther Hicks ones plus Excuse Me! Your Life is Wating) and some of the Abe tapes/CDs until May this year when I went to my first workshop.

If you go into any program to test it out and "prove" whether it works or not, I can pretty much guarantee it won't :)

Yes I have changed my life completely from consciously using LOA. I used to work in the City of London, commuting 4 hours a day to a job that was pure contrast to me. After a few months of BOPAing my boss, he offered me almost a year's salary to stay at home and put me on a retainer that I still get 5 years later. That retainer enables me to teach 2.5 days a week at a local college and have a better standard of living than I did working in London, plus I get incredible intellectual stimulation and growth from teaching. All I did was 1) appreciated my boss and my colleagues, 2) made a conscious intention to feel good under all circumstances, 3) listened to Abraham on my mp3 player during my commute.

No course can teach you more than there is :)

I agree with what Isobel has said. I would add, however, if you find a program or some technique that FEELS good to you, then there is nothing wrong with following that path. Everyone vibrates differently and no one can say what is right for you.
I see clients in my Wellness practice and lead two LOA groups in Chicago and often people will ask me about a particular modality or "healer". And I always guide them back to their own guidance.

Hey Belle,
Even though I don't have an answer or any amazing stories of manifesting miracles in my life the one thing that keeps me going is that this community has amazing success stories and I'm just hoping that someday I'll have that amazing story. Until then I'm using this community to learn as much as I can and once again everything you've mentioned about I have thought countless times myself.
The one thing from all the responses that stuck out to me the most was when Isobel said to make the conscious intention to feel good under all circumstances. I love that and will be doing my best to achieve it at all times. Best of luck Belle

Wow. The testimonials are super convincing. I am about 30 days new, in any positive thinking, law of attraction philosophy and science. This is a new and excitingly coherent way to think and live. Fortunately, I have found it, finally. I look forward to experiencing bliss and hearing of yours.
The thought that the universe is abundant and is ready to be positively abundant to your positive trust in its intentions, this is great!

U are just realistic...
I was anifestin the same, relation ship with my bf, but we break up, because he was not what i needed, i don't leave in a big house, but i have a good job, but stii leaving from pay check to paycheck, so we have to work hard for owr dreams, we have to choose good what we want, because those choices are shaping my life. Be ur self, be realistic , what u can do, that is who u are, don't try to overcome ur limits because then is gonna be overwelming.
That is my opinion..
I don't matter it matters what u feel in u hart that u can do..
Open ur hart and eyes then u will see the light.

[Oana Maria]

Yes u are right, i was too much concentrating that that was not what i wanted,
and he was that is not working, so i, we ended up hurt. Now so is life, i know what i can do, and who, lifes goes on, and i will make it better,
Now i have to concentrate in a new appartament, cheaper but nice, and more clients at my work.

Think about the fact that your "type" or style of thinking is entrenched from years of being conditioned so you are literally trying on a new way of thinking about things... this is why you feel the resistance from yourself... it is not natural to you... It takes practice
