Hi I'm back again but only for a short while. Thanks for wishing me a good night's sleep, although here in Europe it's early morning and time to rush off and do the usual daytime routine!

Well to give an example of what I might talk about with my friend, I was just taking the kids to school and they were giving out coupons for discounts to see a circus. I talk with my friend all the time but I don't usually think about what I talk about, so I don't remember what we talk about.

Anyways so I told my friend I wasn't going to see the circus. She asked me why I wasn't going to see the circus, and then she launched into a long discourse about the Law of Attraction and manifestations and how the universe is expanding and how supply meets demand rather than having to restrict our demands to the supply and etc. etc. Because she knew I was going to tell her that we weren't going to the circus because I didn't have money to go to the circus.

So she asked me if I WANTED to go to the circus. I said no. She said if the real reason I didn't want to go to the circus was because I REALLY didn't want to go to see the circus, or if it was because I was scared of not having enough money to go to the circus, or that if I was scared that if I went to the circus then I wouldn't have money to pay the bills etc. (You see she always tries to make me think and to think about things I think wrong, so I can correct them I guess. So I can be aware that I am thinking wrong and not just go around on automatic pilot I guess.)

She said if I imagined that I was a real successful professional person and had loads of money, then would I then want to take the kids to see the circus.

So I said she had explained the Law of Attraction and the law of supply and demand etc. etc. already loads of times, but that I still didn't understand it and I couldn't see the point in it and I couldn't see any of it showing up in my life. You know my usual pessimistic charade. I said everything she told me I could read it in a book. So she didn't say anything.

Then I told her not to TELL it to me, not to explain it, I said SHOW me. So she said well if you want the right answer you must ask the right question. (Duh! Well I could ask her doesn't she already know the right question without me asking it etc., but I know how spirits always reply to that one, so...........)

Then she explained that the way this (manifestation) works, is, the motor of manifestation is your FEELINGS, your desire, how strongly you desire something and how excited you feel about getting it. When you FEEL desire very intensely about something and you are very excited about getting it, that is what starts the process of manifestation into action. So she said if I really WANTED to go to the circus, did I really really desire to go to the circus, if it made me feel excited thinking about going to see the circus.

I said no I actually felt the idea of going to the circus quite boring. We'd already been to see the circus a few months ago and even though we enjoyed it and had a great time it also wasn't the highlight of my life, and my kids also hadn't been mad about it either. And I could imagine so many more interesting things to be spending our time doing rather than going to the circus again.

So my friend said THAT is why I wouldn't manifest the money into my life to be able to take my kids to the circus. Not because I consider myself poor or have an image of myself as being poor etc.

I'm sorry long post, but that is a typical conversation between my friend and me.

P.S. Oh she says I don't need to convince anyone about who she is or what she is like, she doesn't give a hoot what other people think of her lol!

(Wish there were more kinds of smileys!)
