Linda_Sweeney: Though this may seem like a cop-out answer, keep reading and rereading Steve's articles and listen to his podcasts when you have spare time, like when you are sitting on the subway. And get ideas from this post if you have trouble wondering what to "ask your unconscious" next. I'll assume you read that article and if not, find it and get to it!
While browsing Steve's site, I found myself asking many "What If" questions. What if everything I touched added to my manifestation of happiness? That can be a legitimate manifestation of my intentions, can't it? What if for every single indulgence of every kind, even of the tongue, were to add to my life in a significant way? How is that not possible with creative observation combined with respecting my unconscious while in a constant state of total responsibility?
It could be said that it would be too early for me, a single male, not even graduated from University yet to claim that "I'm set for life". Yet, I can't help but come to that conclusion. How did I come to this conclusion you ask? I maintain that my intentions of creative observation combined with respecting my unconscious while in the state of total responsibility can be maintained everyday, for the rest of my life. And even if I'm totally wrong, I can't see a better subjective or objective perspective in life to have, like how Steve described in his podcast. There are problems in my life right now. Most people do. However, I would be flat out lying if nearly everyday of this week I haven't been either smiling outwardly or inwardly.
If you still think of me as insane, I'll give you a simile for how I think: It's like a genie in a bottle granted me three wishes to be fulfilled without restriction; I opted for infinite wishes to be granted. And what's stopping you from doing the same?
My intentions, which currently I believe to be congruent with my thoughts, are that I can maintain happy, strong positive intentions everyday of my life. In fact, I have been acting upon intentions all along; last year, I told myself that I would just keep fit and as a result get sick very little in 2006. Guess what? I got sick for all of 2 and 1/2 weeks with a cold only for all of last year. And the kicker? I used to get sick all the time as a kid and as a teenager. At present, my intention is simply to not get sick at all, ever, for the rest of my life. I note, it is almost... irresponsible to even consider the logic "maybe I should wait and see before claiming this intention", this lack of confidence in my writing would reflect not only to whomever is reading this but also to myself that I don't actually believe I can.
I won't even get to stating that I will prove that I could maintain these types of mindsets for the rest of my life; I can't help but happily and enthusiastically concentrate on the current moment and the manifestation of my perpetual happiness.
In my first post to the general discussion and introduction board about myself, I wrote that applying Steve's models are very simple. This doesn't mean it's not hard to get into believing and practically living using those models. The happy, erudite and enlightened man gave people a way to fish; it's up to them to not starve. I'm thinking that there are probably many who use Steve's site thinking that it is helping them greatly, but it really hasn't. It's obvious as to why, these people are unconsciously refusing to actually practically use Steve's models, their intentions of using Steve's models not being congruent with their inner thoughts. I am entirely satisfied with myself for having just written that, because my intentions for putting this out here is because I feel with real encouragement and effort from board members aside from just Steve millions upon millions of people can eventually raise their consciousness to a higher level. Unproductive objective thinking can take a hike. Productive subjective thinking now and forever
Cheers,
Arthur
