I feel like I'm not communicating effectively, because I think what I said was very similar to what torilink said, although worded differently. What I said was: I spent many years creating a mess, and then I spent 10 months affirming and visualizing myself as financially abundant and changing beliefs about money, and essentially nothing changed, and now it is time to add another aspect to all this: facing reality (the mess).
Let me try it this way. There's a kid. The kid thinks it's fun to steal other people's stuff. And stuff out of stores. Not big huge stuff -- little stuff. But it adds up as the years go by. Sometimes the kid loses this stuff. Sometimes the kid sells it and buys candy. Sometimes the kid inadvertently breaks it. Sometimes the kid sells it and pays the electric bill.
Many years go by. One day the kid realizes nobody wants to talk to her anymore because she's been taking all their stuff. Everybody's ornery, or mad. The kid says, well heck. This is all I ever knew, was how to take stuff. I guess I had weird ideas about stuff. Plus I also always really believed one day something would magically happen or else I would figure out what to do in order to pay the electric bill my own self.
So the kid does a lot of reading and spends nearly a year doing all these intentional manifestation rituals and law of attraction practice and working on changing beliefs and finding limiting ideas, and so on. And at the end of this year, the people still want their stuff back and the people are still ornery, and even worse, the cops are in the driveway because once upon a time the kid stole a bicycle from outside a convenience store and sold it to pay the electric bill, and the police just discovered this action was videotaped.
Now what?
