The other day I had a revelation and realized I wasn't seeing my intentions manifested because I just didn't really get it. I wrote about it in a blog and figured I'd share the article in the hopes that you guys will be able to use the information for whatever you're doing.
So give me some feedback because I want to know what you guys think of it.

When I was first introduced to the law of attraction, I was pretty excited because yes I can have whatever I want!!! So I began putting intentions out and I waited for them to manifest themselves. I waited and I waited and then I became frustrated because they weren’t coming true. What the hell? Why haven’t I gotten my chai latte yet?! Okay just kidding I’ve never manifested that. = P

It has occurred to me, today, that it was obvious I was missing something initially. Either intention manifestation was a hoax or I really wasn’t getting it. So to give you some background information on this new revelation I’ve had, right now I’m at Borders listening to Andrew Bocelli and reading a book called The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra. I’m about half way done and it’s been an interesting read. It tells of how I need to be more grateful and that I need to take charge of my karma. “Ya ya cool that’s all nice and dandy.” Right now I’m reading about the Law of Least Effort. At this point I’m just trying to get this book done but then all of a sudden I’m hit by a semi the book drove over me. Everything about intention manifestation makes sense now. I know why it wasn’t working. I’ve realized that I really wasn’t getting it.

This is a direct quote, page 61, “In this joyful, simple freedom, you will know without any doubt in your heart that what you want is available to you whenever you want it, because your want will be from the level of happiness, not from the level of anxiety or fear. You do not need to justify; simply declare your intent to yourself, and you will experience fulfillment, delight, joy, freedom, and autonomy in every moment of your life.”

Do you see what he’s saying? If we want LOA to work, we need to change ourselves first. We need to intend goodness without selfishness. If it’s based off of selfishness, then that means it’s based off of conditionality, fear and anxiety. The actual intention is not necessarily what’s wrong, it’s the motive behind it. If we are able to humble ourselves and become unconditional, then we can have whatever we want!!!

We basically have to reach a certain level of enlightenment. We have to be higher beings. We need to transcend fear and the idea of separateness.I never completely understood why Steve would always try to reiterate ”for the good of all.” (Maybe I missed the blog that explains why…) Now I realize how important it really is.

It’s so liberating to have finally found a way to manifest what I want. I mean, this has given me much confidence in my capabilities and hopefully this will bring up the spirits of those who are struggling. We just have to change ourselves before we can change the reality around us. This makes complete sense because the way our mind works greatly reflections our perception of our reality, which in turn reflects our ability to wield the pure potentiality the world has. We need to be able to really tap into this pure potentiality in order to us it and once we do that, tada!! We have manifestation.
