 |  subjective reality perspectives on my "bank account"
For those of you who believe in subjective reality (which I do), I'm wondering what your take is on my "bank account". If it's my reality, then I create the amount that's in it. I believe I've created very little in it currently b/c I was afraid of the responsibility I felt came with it. I hadn't truly realized this before until I was recently forced to really really look at why the abundance hadn't manifested. But if I've created my reality, and I believe that the number at the end of the page is just a figment of my imagination, or rather I'm not in alignment with a higher amount, and that there's no way that a creditor will come after me but my higher self will protect me and provide for me to sail through this supposed creation, shouldn't I be o.k. I mean, I'm really ready for the abundance:-). I also mean "o.k." in the sense that I won't go deeper and deeper into debt. I know that if I went into deeper and deeper debt that would truly be o.k. but honestly, I don't want to, and I've been intending not to for a long time. I feel ready for the responsibility and by putting my self in a dire financial situation, I've really had to look at the true fears I had about attaining money and overcome them. I feel in my head that I've come to terms with a bunch I didn't even know I had. Now that I've come to terms with it and feel o.k. about the abundance, I am living life like I already have it. It has taught me so much! However, the numbers still haven't changed in my account. I also know that once the numbers are bigger in my account, that is also a creation by me, and I still need to have the feelings that I do now because none of it's real. So whether I have 50K or $1, I should trust and go with the flow and never worry b/c my higher self is looking out for me and giving me what I ask for, as long as I'm truly ready for it. I have to say there are still fears at the surface, but I'm trying super hard to override them by knowing in my gut, that something higher has me covered and I continue to "pound" into the subconscious that I will sail through (no one is going to come after me), the universe is just trying to teach me some more valuable lessons before letting me off the hook. Anyone else agree? |

I believe that subjective reality works... if you work too... If you depend on SR alone... you will be poor a long long time... If SR alone did work... we would probably all be millionaires... A good test to validate my hypothesis is for you to ask those who teach you SR if they have all that they want... SR is a tremendous tool... but, by itself...it is worthless and useless... . |

Shamou, What do you mean if I work too? By work, do you mean digging deeper into my soul to see what beliefs I might have that are holding me back from what I want. If that's what you mean, then I feel like I've been doing the work. If you mean something else, could you explain? Sometimes work seems to refer to actual work, like a job that I don't enjoy just to earn money. I feel there has to be more to life than that. Thanks so much for your reply. |

  You gotta put in the action... or the work if you will... but, it has to be even more than that... it has to be something that you are passionate about... something that you would do even if you were not getting paid for it... only then can you generate enough energy to get that million bucks... So, my advice to you is... read up on millionaires... see what they did... find out how they feel, think an act... and emulate (imitate) them... and, you will get what they got... There are no miracle in the universe... it is always action reaction... it's been that way since the dawn of time... and will be this way forever... Now, that does not mean that SR does not work... it only means that it is just part of the overall picture... Anymore questions...??? . | |

Shamou wrote: "Fear is the sense that you may not have the resources to overcome or cope with some upcoming event… and that somehow you stand to lose something that is dear to you… Knowing what a problem is gives us half the solution… to overcome fear you must develop self-confidence… live in the here and now… and learn to face your dragons (fears)…" That's wonderful advice Shamou. It seems contradictory to your posts about taking action. The only reason I would take action, like taking out yet another loan or getting a job I hate, would be strictly from fear of the unknown. Because I have put myself in such a dire financial situation (which I purposely put myself into and I believe manifested, so I would be forced to deal with my dragons) I am working minute by minute literally to face my fears, live in the here and now, and develop my self confidence. My time is limited before I just crumble and let the fear take over but I'm determined. You say, I need to work. To me, that seems the easy way out and just prolongs the fear that there isn't something out there looking out for me and guiding me through this universe. I'm ready to believe! |

Now, if he could make money without working... why would he go through all that trouble... why not just stay on the beach and manifest that money...??? . | |

If you think "hey nothing is real, I can spend as much money as I want if I intend to have a big bank account", but in the same time, you believe in the laws of economy, that might lead to more debt if you don't "take action" as Sahmou points. That said, if you have a strong and coherent belief system that is empowering for your goal, it should work, even if you meet some resistance along the way. (Resistance always happen, whatever your goal is.) Last edited by theknightwhosaysni-NI; 05-04-2007 at 11:33 PM. | |

You still have to buy a lottery ticket to win it. Yes you can sit on the couch all day without denial and manifest a million dollars, but the answer that presents itself to show you how to make the money will require you to get off the couch and buy the ticket, get the job, start the business. The magic part is the answer, the work part is implimenting the answer. You don't have to do anything physical to get the method, but because the intention is for a physical thing, then a physical implimentation will be required. So, yes you can lie around and manifest, but if it's for a physical reality based manifestation, then some physical work will be needed. Power to the Max Believe has the word lie in it |

O.K. I guess I wasn't clear. I have to apologize to everyone. I'm not just sitting on the couch, or sitting on a rock in the middle of the ocean thinking my bank account will magically grow. I actually have a job waitressing but I've been doing it forever (20 years) and this year, I decided to cut back to part time, take out a big loan and figure out something else to do with my life. My loan is down to about nothing literally at this point and I don't make enough to cover the bills that are coming. I've spent the last year focusing really really hard on doing something that I love. I've read countless books and articles to help me decide which direction I want to take. Most people never have or take the time to do so and I feel blessed that I made that decision. I've decided through much trial and error that I want to do something right now that will earn me an income so that I can ultimately run a fund for environmental philanthropy that is backed with my financial abundance. This will take a multitude of money but I'm determined and I do believe. The "answer" on how to raise those funds has come to me in a multitude of ways. I want to have many things going on. Real estate investments, I want to write a childrens book, I'm going to have a website for skiers, and several other ideas. However, my money has run out and the option I have is to believe the universe will back me up on my plan, or start working a buttload and in my gut, like I mentioned I think that's the easy way out and will only prolong being scared. Honestly, when I found out my bank account would be in the negative zone by this Monday, I have had to dig really deep to see perhaps why I haven't been able to manifest the money as of yet. I realized that I had a fear of the responsibilities I thought would come with it and deep down afraid of growing up. I have faced up to that fear and many others the last few days and know I'm finally ready to get things going. I also have learned pretty darn quick how to better live in the moment b/c I don't want to miss anything. I'm grateful for these 2 things alone. Apparently, I needed a kick in the pants to really see what was going on. Anyway. Like I said, I'm definitely not lazy. I actually work so hard during the day that sometimes I have to tell myself it's o.k to relax and recently, I've been meditating b/c I think I was working too hard with no results. I thought visualizing and meditating might make things more clear rather than beating myself up over "not getting enough done in a day". I'm just tired of worrying and living in fear. Does that make any more sense? Sorry about the confusion (especially to Shamou:-). |

Hello learningtogrow… I have given your situation a lot of thoughts… and I feel that this must be said… You are going after some very big goals and objectives… and from what we have learned about you, so far, your successes have been rather mitigated… a bit like someone who has never played in the minor league and wants to step in the majors… So, maybe you could consider reviewing your priorities… instead of focusing on the big, big fish… you might concentrate on the smaller one… like finding a job that you like and that could financially sustain you… then, after you’ve succeeded in that… and built up your self-confidence… you could tackle the bigger prizes… You know… when something is not working… sometimes we have to do an about turn and reach in another direction… it has been said that the perfect definition of stupidity is to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results… That could be some food for thoughts for you… anyway… I do wish you the very best of luck and all the courage in the world…  . |

I appreciate everyone playing the role of my doubts and fears. I thought I had enough of them on my own but apparently, there's more to be had:-). Soooo, I ask you what exactly is it that I'm supposed to be afraid of? Also, thanks for the vote of confidence with the mitigated results comment. Just when I thought I was getting somewhere too. I'm kidding of course (sort of). I guess I thought there might be someone out there who's taken a giant leap with out knowing what will happen and could actually support me and say the rewards of going through facing your fears are phenomenal and YOU WILL BE O.K. I mean I'm really tackling fear head on here. Isn't life about living in the present? Why should I continue to live a life in fear. O.k. so I go get a job that pays less than what I do now in something I'm passionate about. I work 40 hours a week for very little money (believe me I've looked into this option ad nauseum) and I still can't pay my bills. There has to be another way. I envision a life with out fear and it's filled with joy and confidence and safety and ultimately that has nothing to do with money. Even if I had a million dollars, I could still live in fear that it would disappear. Fear has me tightly wrapped at the moment and quite frankly, I'm ready to be over it. Even in college, I did my best work at the last moments. Apparently, unless given a deadline, I just sort of meander not really dealing with issues. I did appreciate Shamou's advice about living in the moment and that's what I'm gonna do for now. It's my goal and today, I'm doing a lot better with it. I actually asked myself today "if I can't bust through fear with this situation, what's it gonna take? Is there going to have to be something even more drastic that occurs. We'll see what happens. I've been visualizing success for a long time now. Do you really think that if I really can tackle the fear and truly live in the moment, and I've been visualizing success for awhile, that I'll be out on the street? Doesn't that go against everything LOA, Steve, Subjective Reality, metaphysics, and on and on that we're all professing to believe? I so greatly appreciate everyones input and helping me through all of this. Truly! |

Hello learningtogrow… Here is some more unwelcome advise… yuk…  One of the highest of all human achievement (if not the highest) is to achieve self-mastery… that is… to be in control our emotions… rather than having our emotions controlling us… Now… here is how you do that… Each emotion has its corresponding body posture and breathing pattern… that is… when you are in a state of fear… you have the body posture of anyone who is afraid… and you breath like someone who is afraid… (your body is tense… muscles contracted… breathing shallow and rapid…) Now, one of the way that you can get out of that state of fear is to assume the posture and breathing pattern of someone who is optimist… confident and sure of him/herself… (you stand straight… head high… shoulders backward… feet wide apart… arms to your side… and you stick a look of confidence on your face…and… you breath normally…) That’s what is called the Batman (Batwoman) stance… When you adopt that posture… the kinesthetic receptors send a powerful message to your brain telling it that this is the way that you should feel… and that is what your brain will listen too… turning you into a powerful and self-confident state… Sound to easy to work…??? try it… you’ll see that it works… . |
