Utilizing what I have and using it as the Law of what I intend it to be

[Iris Fitzgerald]

Have you ever wanted something so much but seems like you never receive it? For the next 2 weeks I am going to fake my mind out. I am going to tell myself that every thing is as I want it to be....everything is perfect....I am perfect just the way I am. That I am successfully doing everything that needs to be done. That all my resources are available. And everything is without a flaw. Everything is perfect.
Day One of doing this.

[Nicole]

I am excited to know how this is going for you. Let us know about your progress.

Sounds fantastic, except for the word “fake”

If you are faking your mind out, then there will be a small amount of doubt and doubt is not a powerful attraction for positive to manifest.

Get rid of the word fake and replace it with have.

I have a fantastic home
I have the vehicle I wanted
I have won millions of dollars
I have gained youthfulness
I have healed
I have a slender energetic body

Whatever it is that you desire

There can be no doubt.

You have taken on a phenomenal challenge and I commend you! My husband and I were just talking about how hard it is to "detach" from what you live in every day so that what you desire can manifest. We've realized and lived being able to manifest small things or "just" what we need at the moment but truly manifesting the "big" or significant things seem to take a long time or just don't seem to manifest. And recently I've come to the truth that it's because we aren't releasing it into manifestation. We are so tied to it we keep bombarding our manifestation with worry or doubt....negative energy...even though we tell ourselves we're being positive about it or living in faith. But if we dig down deep we still fear it won't manifest or when or how...we're still worrying. Because we "feel" it's important and BIG then we have trouble truly letting go. If we can ever just get to the point of detachment and ultimate trust in the universe then we can manifest those "big" things quickly.

Then you have witnessed the law of attraction in motion, you have witnessed its power, why doubt anymore?
The universe is infinite, there is no such thing as small or big, it just is what it is.
Stop thinking in terms of size and start believing that what you have intended has happened.

I have found that the most people who have trouble with the law of attraction are the ones who question or over-analyze it too much.
Yes there is a difference between questioning and analyzing.
I am not saying don’t find out more about it, or don’t ask others who live by it, but once you have something set in your mind just allow it to be. When it resonates with your conscious and subconscious don’t analyze it to death.

There is definitely a shift from the old life which you created with your old beliefs into the new light of attraction and the new life you want to create with the knowledge you have now, and it can seem uncomfortable at times, but the more you believe, the more you practice, the more you attract your older life will slip away and there will be less discomfort.

Expect magic

You are OH SO RIGHT! I KNOW..and hear me when I say I know what you're saying is truth but the point is living it. Just the other day...I had realization that truth has different levels of incorporation into people's lives. Some HEAR it and go on never to consider it again....then others KNOW it which means they've accepted it...they know they want that particular truth in their lives but they're not always practicing it and then there are the people who LIVE truth. And those people are truly special in that they've surrendered everything to the truth and they've let go of any beliefs they had before knowing the truth and they can use the truth on the emotional level needed to truly change their lives.

The short version is:
Hearing is all on the surface. It never affects the person
Knowing is all intellectual and the mind. Which means nominal changes occur.
Living is throughout all levels including the emotions and spirit. Where HUGE changes take place for the person.

So even though I believe that truth can penetrate straight through to a person's soul and someone can start seeing amazing positive changes immediately upon hearing truth. I also believe that in certain situations it can take time for truth to permeate every cell, thought, and energy pulse in a being. And for me, I've needed it to permeate through many many years of "lack" thinking and "lack" living. So that now I can truly prosper in every way and never have a "relapse" into old habits and negative results.

I don't feel I have analyzed it too much...what I wasn't doing was feeling it. Truly putting the emotion behind my desires so that they would manifest. My problem was that I was intellectually and with my mind all on board with LOA but my emotions were all still "worrying" and too attached to the outcome. If you don't feel, with your heart and soul, from a positive place what it's like to have what you desire then all you'll get is "little things"...or NOTHING.

And you're right...it takes a shift...and it takes conditioning to "unteach" all of the negativity that so many of us have learned over the years.

LOVE your closing "Expect Magic!!" I DO...AND I WILL...and thank you for "the challenge" to really let go and start manifesting. I'll keep you posted! I NOW expect BIG THINGS!!

Blessings!

Hearing really does affect a person.
As a child did you ever hear someone, usually an adult say something about you that you didn’t like? Can you still hear them saying it in your mind as you read this?
Hearing affects people to the core.

I never believe that what I say to someone, goes in one ear and out the other – (unless
its my man and I have to ask him to put the rubbish out a hundred times, but that is
selective hearing.)

Knowing has only entered your mind due to the hearing process.
Yes, it is intellectual and because of knowledge we can make some phenomenal changes,
by connecting the dots so to speak.
Yes, living is through out all levels, but no one has come to this level emotionally or spiritually without some imbalance of old conditioning to their new beliefs.

But the power is in believing in yourself and having confidence in your own ability to change your reality and if at times you do not feel it, be prepared to grow it.

[Sunny Belle]

Ok..you're right...hearing does affect a person. What I meant was that I have noticed in my own growth and in those around me that I can hear something, especially something good, and say in my mind "oh that's great..yeah that sounds like truth...I believe that" yet never incorporate that belief or action into my life because all I did was hear it...agree with it...and then move on to doing what was comfortable.

For example...we all have heard what we need to do to be healthy but how often do we hear the truth and just ignore it...just go back to eating what is comfortable and sitting on the couch rather than applying what we've heard.

So yes I agree words are very powerful and do affect people. But then I also have to disagree because I believe that if you are growing spiritually you will see those who say negative things to you from a state of detachment because you know who you are and regardless of what they say...that doesn't change. We are all divine and it's up to us to disregard the negativity we occasionally encounter and see everyone in love.

But your final statement is THE MOST TRUE OF ALL. "But the power is in believing in yourself and having confidence in your own ability to change your reality and if at times you do not feel it, be prepared to grow it." And I'd like to add that it's not only in believing in yourself but in believing in Spirit....God...Infinite Universe (whatever terminology you prefer) and knowing that you're growing closer to God through the process. Or at least that's how it's been for me...

Thank you for your comments firstlove....it's been enjoyable to discuss some of the finer points of what I know, believe and live in ever increasing amounts every day. Thank you.

[Yvette Marie]

Question for you. If you believe in yourself don't you already believe in Spirit... God... Infinite Universe because you are a part of that?

[Pamela]

Sounds like a great idea - I will take on this challenge myself --as they say "fake it unitl you make it" what a great way to practice visualization. I will report my success

Thanks for sharing

Oh look, I really didn’t mean to offend anyone by commenting as I did about the word ‘fake’

I guess what I am trying to say is, that it wouldn’t work for me, that’s all.

I can only comment on how things have worked for me and my own personal take on things.

if it is working for you then, all the power to you, fantastic! I am truly happy for you.

[Iris Fitzgerald]

Hello, How is everyone, I guess my word of fake is misinterpreted. The word has little to do with what I was really meaning. I often put off doing things because I sometimes feel I am not smart enough, skinny enough, rich enough or what have you. And it seemed I was attracting that sort of life to me. So really the word fake is not appropriate. The word "have" is theoretical correct. To believe that I have in the present moment exactly what I should have and to acknowledge that anything needed will appear at just the right time. I guess in reality I was raise to always feel that others were always better off than I was that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. The saying of keeping up with the "Jones" well enough is enough.

It did work, because I made it this far to get where I am and where I am is truly where I am suppose to be. Have I reached my desired level of accomplishments? No. But I don't think that is the lesson, the lesson I receive is that people have place their personal expectations upon me and that certain things would happen when I reached a certain level of expectancy/.
For instance, I am a consultant, and in order to make money with this direct selling company, they push the fact that you must have inventory, well, do I need all; that inventory if I do not have the customer base to serve, which comes first the chicken or the egg. So in actually, customers produce inventory or does the inventory produce the customers. So looking at the stand point, neither one. I produce the customers and I make it happen.

Another point, I always think that where I am is not the desired place I should be. It is better to believe and receive are present location with appreciation and gratitude. And to give of ourselves 100% in whatever we do and what is needed and the people will appear.
I know this sounds weird, but if it does that is the desired expression or whatever?

[firstlove]

It’s all a matter of perspective then, isn’t it?, RE: inventory verses customers. It’s a bit like the glass is either half empty or half full = perspective.
By having more inventory you would either look at that as meaning ‘why would I want that much if I don’t have the customers or even though I have all this inventory it still isn’t enough for all the customers I am getting?

I totally understand your views on pre programmed feelings and beliefs. In the imprint years is where most of our belief systems were formed and the influences around us at that time made a major impact on where and who we are today.

“We” were not brought up with the ‘keep up the Jones’s’ mindset, ours was that ‘as long as we have enough to just get by’ and guess what, that’s all we ever had.

Your quote: “It is better to believe and receive are present location with appreciation and gratitude. And to give of ourselves 100% in whatever we do and what is needed and the people will appear.”

That is wonderful and very motivational.

I believe
