I'm teaching myself to play piano using a software program that gives me a score on how well I play the piece. One was difficult for me, I kept tripping up over certain notes. I got frustrated and was making MORE mistakes than I was before I got frustrated. Somehow I said "oh whatever, I'm doing this just for fun anyway. You'll get it eventually" and immediately played it flawlessly, all the way through.
This is what I see as the main block to manifesting. We do things and feel good. I enjoyed playing that piece. I enjoy doing a good job at work, recording a song, having a fun conversation with friends, whatever. All of those things are technically "doing something".
So we see an alternate way of living... and we think it's going to take away the joy of "doing something" that we're used to, a sense of "I did that!" It makes us feel good everytime we successfully interact with our environment, no matter what it is.
But all the things I mentioned, that are "doing something", why are they so enjoyable? Because you weren't really "doing" anything at all. Sure you were going through the motions with your hands or speech, but the REASON it was fun, was because it "just happened", meaning it happend THROUGH you. If you were exercising "will power", you may have a good result, but where is the joy in that?
The ego is reinforced by "I did that--good for ME", but the most enjoyable things are when you forget you are doing it. It just feels good, so the physical actions just TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES.
I think this is the basis for the "it's called the law of attr--ACTION". People don't want to separate themselves from that ego based need to take credit for what they accomplish. We're addicted to the struggle. And we all know, addiction is not necessarily FUN.
Hope I'm making some sense here.
