Boreas, I read this post yesterday and it really struck home with me. I pondered it overnight and had a brief "aha" moment about this after I awoke.

If you have ever read the Wallace D. Wattles book The Science of Getting Rich (published 1910), you'll note that one of the things he writes about is the human desire for increase. I think that what you may be experiencing is a "been there, done that" sense.

That's good. That's VERY good. And I'll tell you why.

You now have concrete (or, rather, brick and mortar) evidence that you can manifest your desires. The house is essentially a metaphor for the human desire to expand. And now that you know, both intellectually and physically, that you can manifest your desire - it's already been proven, because you have the house - there's no doubt that you can manifest the next stage of increase in your life.

In short, the process worked. Now, through your desire to increase, you can continue to use that process to go to the next level.

Not sure if I'm making as much sense here as I'd like, as my mind is going quicker than my fingers.
