THINK FROM THE STATE YOU WANT TO OBTAIN
A) THINK FORWARD FROM YOUR DESIRED STATE OF BEING
This goes back to visualization. Let's say you want to manifest a new car. So you do the visualizations of having it right now and already being there. A helpful visualization exercise is to think and make plans FROM that state, of having a new car. Think about what you would say to your friends or family about your new car, and events that would immediately follow you getting that new car. Who are you planning on driving around? Since you already have that car, what do you plan on doing with it? Any road trips? If so, where to? Think forward FROM the state of being that you desire. Feel that state of being as being real, right now, as having already obtained it, and make plans FROM that state.
B) THINK BACKWARD FROM YOUR DESIRED STATE OF BEING
A good technique for visualization, is to see yourself right now as having your complete dream life, then "remember" things that led up to that moment. Try and remember talking to the car salesmen. What did he/she look like? Start from your dream life, and remember backwards to your state now. Some of these invented memories, will actually be the way things happen when your desire manifests. How does it feel to be sitting in your dream car right now? Now think backwards FROM there. "Remember" being at the dealership, seeing the people there. Let's say you're intending for a new house. See yourself as having it RIGHT NOW, then think backward. See the realtor who helped you find the house, remember taking a tour of it....think backwards and build memories.
DIG DEEP
How do you really view reality? I'm not asking how you
want to view reality, I'm asking how do you really view it? There is a
massive difference. It's very easy to want this subjective reality stuff to be real, so you convince yourself that you believe it when you actually don't. This goes back to facing the fear, because what's happening is you are just covering up your actual beliefs and feelings. When you think about subjective reality/LOA/IM, how does it feel? Does it feel comfortable, or does it feel desperate? Our conditioned views on reality don't go away by covering them up with what we hope to be true, what we desperately want to be true.
Pay attention to how you
actually feel towards all of this. What are your true feelings towards reality? Is it a stone, an unchangeable object that exists outside of you? Are you afraid of truly committing to LOA/SR in fear of being crazy, or judged by the people in your life? If deep down, you don't believe reality to be malleable, then your reality will
always reflect that back to you, regardless of how much desperate dirt of wanting SR to be true, you shovel on top of it. You will never get anywhere if you delude yourself into think you believe something that you actually don't.
Pay attention to how you actually believe reality to be, and feel the feelings associated with it. This turns that stone rock into sand. Refusing to pay attention to your actual feelings keeps them solid, and in place. Having the strength and the will to face them will help you get past them. Pay attention to how it feels, and once you feel better about it all, let it go! See it for the illusion that it is, and choose to see reality the way you truly want to. Face that fear of being judged and let it go! A wave of peaceful euphoria rushes over me when I do this, and I can calmly choose a new perspective, that doesn't feel desperate, or as if I am trying to force it to be true, because there aren't contradicting beliefs existing beneath it anymore.
This alone will help super charge your manifestations. Seriously, you want see some immediate results when you examine your actually beliefs on reality and decide to let them go, or transform them, or whatever you'd like to call it. When I had first done this, it was literally like BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! just a series of manifestations, that allowed me to truly see that infact these old, stale believes were in fact holding me back.
INTEND FOR YOURSELF
Sometimes while intending and manifesting, we might intend for a desire to manifest that includes other people. Sometimes this works, but a lot of times it doesn't, and will only hinder your manifestation. Well, why is that? Look at your perceptions of the people in your life. You see them as having their own lives, goals, and desires, correct? Now, if we are intending to start a successful business with all of our friends, this might not manifest. Why? Well it's because we know inside, that Tom is actually a painter and he has aspirations of spending his life painting and going in that direction, and Jill loves penguins and she wants to go and spend time with penguins and do work there. So intending to start a business with Tom and Jill won't manifest, because in our minds, we know they have a different path to take, even though we may really really want them there with us. Sometimes your intentions are just that...
YOUR intentions. Not Jill's, not Tom's. You are doing this for you. You want to start that business and the more dependent this desire is on other people, whose life path's contradict your intention in your mind, the longer you will wait for it to come into fruition.
Realize this is your path, and sometimes we have to walk our paths alone. While it might be fun to have all 42 of our friends working in a bakery, the reality is we perceive 38 of those 42 friends to have different desires, different intentions, and different destinies than we have.
"Well what about those 4 of the 42? Can we still intend for them to be there with us in that bakery?"
Yes and no. It truly depends on where you personally view those 4 people going with their lives. The best way to manifest this type of desire, is to intend it solely for yourself, not for them but for you. Always remember that just because you are intending it solely for yourself, doesn't mean that you can't tell them about it, and invite them to join you once the wheels start moving. But this is your life, you manifest for yourself. Making your manifestations dependent on others is not a good idea, especially if your views of those other people contradict your intention right from the get-go. This isn't a selfish idea. You can still invite Tom and Jill to run that bakery with you, but don't make your entire intention DEPENDENT on it happened to you and all of your friends, or your family, because it won't manifest. You make the decision in your head that this is what you are doing. You are starting that bakery. You are moving to Buenes Aires. You are going to start a band. You are going to be a millionaire. Be independent and now where you are going. Decide that your intention is what you are doing. It's harder to do this when that intention is wrapped around 42 other peoples' lives, who each have their own paths to take. This is your path. Take it.
And you can always invite your friends and family along later, once it's happened.
PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT
Practice all of this on stupid, little, insignificant, things that you don't really care about. Intend to manifest something small that you don't care about. For instance, I manifested a really rare film, that I hadn't seen in a while. I didn't care if it manifested or not, so there wasn't much "trying" to get it to work. There were no desperate feelings attached to the film, and whether or not it would manifest. I didn't care if it did or not. I flipped on the television guide, and turns out that film, which hadn't been on television in a long while, was starting right then and there. The craziest, eye opening part of this all, was that the time wasn't on the hour or half hour. It was 6:45, and the film was starting at...6:45. An awkward and rarely used time for programs to air on television, right? Seeing the stupid little things manifest will boost your confidence for the "bigger" things to manifest.
So spend time intending for small stupid things to manifest. A certain drink or soda, a specific song, a book......you get the idea. Just something dumb that you don't really care if it manifests or not.
YOUR DESIRES ARE AS HARD TO MANIFEST AS YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE
If you constantly view your desires as "big" or "hard" to manifest, they will be. If you change it up and decide it's easy and no sweat, than it will be. This is true with everything. If you're playing basketball against another team, they will be as hard or as easy to beat as you believe they will be. If it's all no sweat, than it'll all be no sweat! These words "big" "small" "easy" "hard" are simply labels that don't really exist. You give these words their meanings. Nothing is ever hard, or easy, but we simply choose to view them that way. Start becoming more aware of the way you actually view things!
Every time you think "I can't", you make it true. Every time you think "This is a big desire, it's going to be hard to manifest" you make it true. Every time you think your desire will take a long amount of time to manifest, you make it true.
Be aware of your reactions and judgments of things in your life!
