Improving my Attraction's Law Manifestation Power...

[Amir]

Hello everybody! New to these forums and I'm also still new to the Attraction's Law, and am still a beginner, so I might end up making a million discussion topics on the Attraction's Law but I will say everything here. So bare with me people.

General
So, I've come to know about The Secret, the Law of Attraction, ever since '06 and while at some case I was sucessful in appliying it, I've failed here and then, and somehow it's because of me. I will cover those later.

Attracting Money
So last summer, I asked the Universe for $10 grand. After days of visualizing it, having the money, feeling the money, I just for some reason couldn't get the $10,000 to come to me. But months before that I would find it easier to ask for $300 or $400, and it would be given to me from my relatives. I did find $5 once on the bus and once under a desk at school and MAN THAT felt guuud!!! Now I've asked to win the $200,000. I didn't. The Universe found a better way to get me the $200,000 I'm asking for now.

Laptop
About a year ago, I've asked the Universe for a laptop, a specific kind of Dell laptop. I would feel it, feel the passion, feel the keypad... and for some reason I can't seem to manifest that either! What is it that I'm doing wrong? How much passion does the Universe want from me for it to give me my laptop? I mean, I know I'm AFFIRMING that I don't have it but before that I wasn't able to manifest the kind of laptop that I want.

All else
I have had things that I've wanted, like $200,000, a laptop, entertainment memorabilia, but I don't know why but because I'm a beginner, I haven't been able to manifest the BIGGER things, I mean, I tried smaller things like some clay, a special DVD, but later wanted them one day and then a week later say, "Y'know what, this can wait..." Some people are going to throw this advice my way but I DID do a graditude list of all the things I can think of to be grateful for. Because seriously people! How can be so ungrateful and want more? I mean, It's okay to want more than what you already ahve but be grateful for what you already have now! and be grateful that the things that you want are on their way. Like I know that somehow, even though I've given up on them, the money, the laptop, the movie costumes are all on their way to me...

Relationships
Another thing I've been trying to manifest for a yeah and MY MOST IMPORTANT MANIFESTATION GOAL, manifesting a girlfriend. I've wanted to manifest my ideal woman for a year now but April '09 is when I REALLY knew the type of woman that I wanted and I have a good few of her pictures (another woman that looks like her). I would visualize her everyday. I even said the day before Spring Break, "Y'know what? I will meet my ideal woman right after Spring Break." Still failed, but I KNOW THAT SHE IS ON HER WAY TO ME SOMEHOW!!! I WILL SEE HER VERY SOON!

HOWEVER!!! When I go out into the world or venture on a trip, the affirmative thought that "Oh! This is where I may meet my ideal woman" always finds its way into my head and I think that's what's blcoking her from coming to me!?!?! I'm not supposed to worry about the "hows" of things! I'm supposed to know that the things and people I want will come to me and that they already came!!! I need to stop these thoughts. When I visualize sitting in her van with her, being in bed with her, kissing each other, and carssing each other (excuse me if i'm being inappropriate), I actually feel the passion and MAN... it feels soo right! It feels so right being in a van with her. Mmm! Even though I did my daily visualization of her today... I'm thinking about it again right now... and just seeing her in my head,,, even without closeing my eyes... It just feels SOOO RIGHT!!! She looks just like the woman i have posted on my vision board!!!

Affirmations that I'm about to start practicing:
All the things that I want materialize quickly and effortlessly!

God knows everything that I want and cares!

I am having a healthy, wonderful relationship with my voluptuous full-figured girlfriend!

I am a loving person.

Questions:
- I'm not giving up but do any of you suppose when i don't do my visualization for ONE DAY and say to the universe, "Y'know what, I'm letting it go to you and may you handle this the way YOU intended it Universe!" will it actually work? I mean, I did this for other minor things and it happened for me! And I visualize this girl EVERY DAY!!!... like I'm supposed to...
- Affirmations like "Where is it, it ain't here" tend to block manifestations but say when you're in debt and you say to the Universe, "I'm not in debt" will only keep you in debt. HOW???

Thoughs? They are all gratly appriciated. OH! Thank you very much for taking the time to read this long message and replying!

You are still asking. You are asking over and over and then you are waiting for it to be delivered. What people get tripped up on is thinking that law of attraction is about getting stuff. So they think, Ohh I'll just write out a gratitude journal or I will just say some affirmations but that is not what attracts any of it to you.

First, be APPRECIATIVE of life, not grateful. Appreciation and gratitude have two distinct emotional set points, gratitude is more of a feeling of being thankful that an unpleasant circumstance/thing/etc... has been alleviated. Appreciation is an admiration of something, anything. In fact that's what you should be doing. Appreciating everything around you.

Second, if you stop doing something for one day the universe isn't going to say "Hey Amir didn't ask for what he wanted today so I guess that means he doesn't want it anymore, so I don't have to bring that thing to him". You right now are focusing on the lack of what you don't have. We do these things like meditation and gratitude journals and all of the other little games that the secret and other speakers suggest in order to make us feel good. You have to shift your emotional state to one of hopefulness all the way up to happiness and joy.

Third, I think you have very big goals you would like to attract to you. I also think that it might be too much of a quantum leap for you to get to the feeling of it arriving for you. Also, when you put out a request for a sum of money, are you attaching a deadline to it? If I just ask for an extra $10,000 it could take 365 days for it to all come to me, or it can take 5 years. So think about what it is you want, find a way to feel good about it. You said you have visualized. THAT IS ENOUGH. Everytime you make yourself visualize again and then go why isn't it coming, I'm doing it, it's just going to keep delaying it to you. I have many videos that I have uploaded from this last 100 day challenge which just ended this month. On day 100 I talked about all of the other little good things that manifested that I never even really focused on with much intent, they were all just fleeting thoughts I had about things and they came to me one by one.

Be easy, you've asked. NOW BELIEVE, and distract yourself with other activities and do things that make you FEEL GOOD AND HAPPY AND JOYFUL. Then the things will start coming.

The best advice I have to offer right now is to be grateful for what is. The stuff you've asked for is already sitting in your Vibrational Escrow. Now is the time to get out of your own way by by quitting worrying about it. Appreciate what is right now!

I love this example: If you place an order with Amazon, you don't keep placing the order every day in fear of your stuff not showing up at your door, right? You only place the order once, and then trust it's on the way.

Other affirmations that may work for you:
Good things always happen to me.
I look forward to each day. I am grateful for every moment.
All is well in my world.
All of my bills are paid on time, with love.

i love the way u put this and this is the way i am working on doing.

Welcome to the community!

I really wanted a laptop. I said back in May,"This Summer I will have a laptop." I believed I would. I didn't ask for a specific kind though. "I want one I like." I didn't bother trying to save up for one or look for one really. But I still expected one anyway. I didn't think about it all the time but when I did I'd visualized it for a minute or less. Well, the day before my birthday, June 7th, I come home from getting a haircut and my 17 year old brother pulls up in my driveway. He says, "I got a new and better laptop. Have this old one." I had no idea he had one in the first place. So, I'm typing on the one he gave me right now. And it's one I'm happy with. Works good, fast, no problems. It's one I like. :D

Anyway, I've probably posted the following you are about to read 50 times here already. If you try to manifest something, don't say, "Where is it?" Or "Is it working?" Just KNOW that it is working. Trust the Universe. You'll get what you ask for if you allow it. Think about it like when a bird lays an egg. You don't break open the egg and say "Where's the damn bird?!" You know it's developing in the egg and when it's ready to hatch, it will. Same with manifesting something. You intend it and ask for it and then boom, it's manifested! But has to come about in it's own way in it's own time. You could put a deadline on something. But if you do and you don't reach the deadline, try it again. Just KNOW it will happen. I mean, if you knew something was going to happen, how would you feel?

Don't say,"Is this how's it's going to happen" or "I want it to come about this way!" Don't concern yourself with that. Let the Universe be concerned with that.

Belief or knowing is important. I have manifested some things just by believing it would happen and didn't use any of the other "tools" like affirmations and visualizations. But those things can help for sure!!!!!! Also, the Universe has no idea if what you are asking for is something big or small. You could manifest a dollar as easily as 100,000 dollars. However, WE decide if what we are asking for is big or small. Don't think anything is too big or too important for you to manifest. When they say,"feel worthy of receiving" it's true. 100%. Guess what? You are worthy! Know it!

I'm not an expert but have been practicing this stuff for 10 years. But only recently I'm starting to really get the hang of it. Back in 2004 I successfully manifested some things. By 2006 I thought everything was against me and everything I tried to manifest, the opposite would usually happen. I've f'd things up in the past for sure! I became lazy though I realized and had a lot more to learn. But since May I've been studying and practicing this stuff every day and I already see a big turn around. I think I needed that period of screwing up to learn from it. So whatever is happening now could benefit you later on.

Just KNOW, BELIEVE, EXPECT, FEEL that what you intend will reach the physical world for you! don't concern yourself how it's going to come about. Just know that it will.

P.S. Take their advice about being grateful. I used to say,"Yeah, sure. Like that does anything" But that is what turned things around for me. You definitely want to write down things you are grateful for that has happened that day or grateful for in generally before bed. When a pleasing situation happens in the middle of the day, be grateful for it. Say,"thank you, Universe" or whatever. Trust me. It'll make you more positive and you'll be better at attracting stuff. Feel good that what you intend to manifest will be here when the egg hatches

Hey Jason!

I gotta say, man. Out of all three who already replied, I must say, you left the most inspiring advice! That technique you did with the laptop? I affirm that "I will meet my ideal girlfriend this fall!", and I also spoke the affirmation that "I will have my Midnight Blue Dell laptop this fall!" too! OH! Get this! I didn't speak it out of wrote (just to say it). I said it with passion and enthusiasm.

Here's my sucess story, I went to summer school this summer. Our hours were from 8-3. I've been complaining and having problems with my bus being the last bus to arrive to pick me up and get me home (one day, my bus didn't come until after 4!). I mean- some days it came at a reasonable time! Other days, it wasn't the first or last bus to come. One day on the last week, I said the following affirmation numerous times, "My bus is gonna be the first bus to arrive!" I said it to some of my peers there. Guess what? At 2:50, my bus, ALL BY ITSELF, was parked at the parking lot waiting for me! It was the first bus to get here! AND it was all early too! I mean, I'll be honest, I even had a venom of doubt that it would even come early! But then, I let that go and replaced it with excitement! Isn't powerful what a little affirmation can do?

Just for the interest... I AM gonna meet my ideal woman this fall, and I will have my Dell Laptop too!

- Thank you, Jason.

[Jason]

Thanks. :D You will meet your ideal woman this fall and have your laptop. Just as long as you expect it. Make sure your expectations match your intentions.

[Jason]

One more thing. I'm not sure if I'm repeating myself or not but I'm inspired to type it anyway.

A guy wins the lottery. He wins but doesn't get the money right away. It might take a couple weeks. But he KNOWS, EXPECTS, and ACTS AS IF he will receive the money. That's what you gotta do when you intend something. Know, expect, act as if you'll get it. Speak as if even like at the bus stop. Also, the guy who wins the lottery doesn't say,"Is it coming?" The lottery winner doesn't have to stare at a photo of a pile of cash all day to know he's going to get it. But he does visualize what he'll do with that money!

I actually got that from the book "How To Attract Money Using Mind Power" by James Goi Jr. A brilliant book in my opinion! (He has videos on YouTube explaining his chapters from his book.) The book is focused on attracting money but you could apply those some principles to attracting anything.

[Amir]

Awesome point. Like when I wanted my bus to get here first, I didn't close my eyes and stare at the mind picture of my bus being there, not that I had the time anyway, but I did though but for not even a half of a second.

This is taken from the Secret book/movie but also think of it like ordering from eBay. You place the order and go on about your life, expecting to recieve what you ordered. You wouldn't wonder "Oh is it coming?" Or you wouldn't nag the seller "I wonder will it get to me?" Well... crooks on eBay might have buyers waiting longer but the Univrse doesn't do that.

So instead of visualizing THE THING, the people of the Secret might've meant visualize what you will DO with the thing. Because I can look at the picture of the laptop that I want for HOURS and still have doubt that it's coming. But to imagine just the speed-of-light internet connecting, the wonderful novels I will write, the very comfortable keypad... MAN IT FEELS SOOO RIGHT!

And as the money thing, you might've read the part about me trying to attract $$$200,000 and failed. That was because I saw it as something "big" but I failed to realize that manifesting $$$200,000 or even $$$500,000 is no harder for the Universe to manifest $5.00 or $0.05 even.

Edit (why do they give us only 15 mins to edit our posts???)- It's just like the bus, I mean- I even had some doubt! But I knew my bus was going to get here at decent timing and let it go.

Thanks again Jason.

Hi Amir,
I wanted to give you two more pointers.

1) you always phrase it as if it already happened..For example, you would say Dear Universe thank you so much that I finally met my ideal woman..I feel great and so happy...Something like that...and feel it of course..
2) this goes for all intentions.. you need to do some kind of action. if you cant think of one, try brainstorming and write it out to see what could be a list of possible actions that you could take to achieve this goal. there is this excellent book i read by James Arthur Ray, called Harmonic Wealth, in which he says that when you do thoughts feelings and actions , then you are practically unstoppable. I think in your case Amir, perhaps you were lacking in the actions department.

keep the advice coming everybody..i really enjoy this whole phenomenon of attracting things. I am in my season 1, day 8 today... doing ok....Something great happened today .I got a 25$ reduction in my rent for the next 9 months.. And i am soo happy...Hopefully by the end of the next 9 months, i will have my dream job and a house to move into...


thanks...hope this helps everybody thatis reading..

[Shayla]

Wow Jason...love this... "Where's the damn bird?!" You know it's developing in the egg and when it's ready to hatch, it will. Thats it right there. We have to let it happen in it's own time. But just know it's gonna happen.

[Jason]

Also, "...but say when you're in debt and you say to the Universe, "I'm not in debt" will only keep you in debt. HOW???"

Because the word "debt" makes you focus on your debt. It's better to replace "I'm not in debt" with "I have more money than I need. I have money left over to spend on things I enjoy!" Or something like that.

[Amir]

Thank you, you three for the wonderful advice!
