Action is needed

[mojoisland]

All to often I hear about people who just sit back and wait for life to happen. In connection with LOA you must also act. Ask, believe Receive is only part of the Key. One must work towards or at least be receptive to signs for direction from the universe. It is not enough to visualize everyday the New BMW you want. Being grateful for your life and the things in it and asking for that BMW will not materialize a BMW next month. One of the missing elements here is action.
Embrass the LOA and live each day by it's rules. Always be aware of the things around you, the universe has a voice but you must be looking for it to recognize it. Your intuition will alert you that something is different and you should take notice. Our intuition is a tuning fork for the voice of the Universe.
Your intuition will speak to you cause you to think and then you must act. For one event will lead to another and another all of which is directing you down the shortest path to your goal. But action is required. The LOA is not for the lazy and greedy who want to sit back and do nothing yet amass riches and prosperity.
Take action. Watch for the sign posts, tune in to the universe. Embrace the LOA and your wants and desires will be laid unto you.

Right action is fundamental, however massive action and action for the sake of fear of doing nothing is pointless and often just pollutes the universe.

According to you, LOL.

According to me and my personal experience, lots of things come quite automatically the LOA is used correctly.

It's important to bear in mind that your personal action is quite useless in a wide variety of situations. For example:

1. When you are unsure and uncertain on what kind of action needs to be taken.

2. When the situation is complex and depends on various factors which are beyond the influence of your personal actions

3. When you are already physically strained, stressed or exhausted, and trying harder merely strains, stresses or exhausts you further and increases your probability of a heart attack, ulcers or nervous breakdown.

Your own action is an important way by which your thoughts manifest. It is however only ONE way that your thoughts manifest. It is not THE only way that your thoughts manifest.

If it WERE the only way your thoughts manifest, your existence must be a highly simple one, eg similar to that of an earthworm's.

Many forummers here are already at, or have passed, the stage when they recognise that their thoughts are generating sychronicities. Often the examples given are unmistakeably meaningful and yet unobstrusive and subtle and could have been easily overlooked if you were not attentive (eg lyrics of a song you suddenly hear; a conversation you overhear at a cafe between two strangers etc).

What some of these forummers haven't seen or realised yet is that synchronicities can be loud and unmistakeable. They stick themselves right in your face such that you can't possibly ignore them. In other words, you're manifesting.

Eg you manifest a holiday in Tokyo. Next day, your big fat boss comes to you, stands in front of you and says loudly to you straight in your face,

"I need you to fly to Tokyo on very urgent business NOW. You need to meet a Japanese client tomorrow, on the 15th, and another Japanese client on the 19th. But on the 16th, 17th and 18th, there's actually nothing to be done, so I suppose you can use those three days to tour Tokyo, if you like."

In terms of action, you did NOTHING to manifest this. In terms of thought, you did EVERYTHING that manifested this.

"Oh yeah," adds the boss. "Just charge the company for the food and hotel accommodation for those three days too. But we're not paying for the Tokyo Disneyland entrance fee, okay?"

[Dan.Linehan]

How many people have jobs where they fly around to meet clients?

[Jack]

Maybe working for-going to a company is an action too?

Having a job is just one way of going To Tokyo,but not the only one,you may attact many other chances for going to Tokyo i think,so i don't agree to Dan.Linehan's comment.

I agree to Acting Like Godot,for example in the days i was thinking that intention-manifestation is like "magic",i heard someone(i wasn't even watching Tv) saying on television"magic is sin,and people who does magic are going to go to hell"
But maybe hearing is an action too?

I'm pretty sure that wasn't ALG's point... In case it was missed, the universe will handle ALL the details of what you are desiring (in the best possible way)... It's up to the individual (you) to simply desire what it is you want to have, be or do... Then go with the flow...

The action needed to take will be shown to you through sychronicities in which you observe, guiding you to that in which you desire... We are incredibly powerful beings.

As long as people continue to see themselves as separate from everything else, they lend themselves to being completely enslaved...
The men behind the curtain know this, they also know that if people ever realize the truth of their relationship to nature, and the truth to their personal power, the entire personal zeitgeist they prey upon will collapse like a house of cards...

Sounds like you have issues with "lazy" and "greedy" people. (or maybe I do if I attracted this thread).

Why do you care how people choose to live their lives? Live your life, don't worry about what others do with their lives---they are free to do whatever they want.

You make it sound like the LOA is something you have to sign up for or get "approved of" to use. But we're all using it, all the time.

On the tokyo vacation--here's something I'd like to share about a friend of mine. He was at a baseball game and called my buddy up, and said that he had been selected to win a free trip to Hawaii, if some player hit a home run in a certain inning or something like that.

So my friend and I listened to the game on the radio, and it was supposed to be a long shot but the dude hit the run and my friend won the trip, he called and was all excited, they had him on the big Jumbo Tron being all excited, he was screaming and we could hear all the cheering and everything. It was pretty cool.

Next time I saw him he was like "Dude it was crazy because just that day I was talking about Hawaii and how I don't think I've ever really won a contest or anything."

It freaked me out because I was just starting to get a grip on this stuff and I was like "damn, he thought about Hawaii, thought about contests and on that day he wins a free trip." Both him and my friend were like "wow how lucky!" But all I could think was "he made this happen."

LC,

Well said. Simple, easy to grasp and very true.

Aha. All you doubters, you see now?

The universe is MUCH more powerful than your own actions. If Cylon's friend had decided to take "personal action" towards a trip to Hawaii, he might have said:

"Ok, gotta save money ... need to check the costs ... find out the hotel prices .... here's my budgeting plan ... need to skip lunch for five months to save up for the holiday ... let's see ... dang, five months wouldn't be the best season to go to Hawaii ..." Etc.

What a bother.

Whereas if you asked the universe, the universe would just say: "Oh your wish is my command. Let's see, I could do it this way. First I'll get these baseball guys to have a game, then I'll have this radio station to organise a lucky draw, and make Hawaii the prize. Next, I have to get this joker to tune in at the right time, and wow, this is the tricky part, the baseball guy has to hit a home run in that inning. But ok, I'm the universe, I can arrange this, I gotta get the pitcher and the ball and the bat all doing the right things at the right time."

ABRACADABRA! Trip to Hawaii, manifested. Your personal actions are not relevant.

[cylon]

Yeah, now I think of all the factors, for some reason he was thinking of hawaii, was thinking of contests, had to go to the game, all the different elements all worked together, and it all seems so complicated, because you're dealing with several factors, lots of different people... powerful stuff.

But of course he assumed it was one of those twilight zone things, and that he had nothing to do with it. He brought it up again yesterday, at how much of a coincidence it was and all I said was, "yeah, looks like you were having the right thoughts that day man!" but left it at that.

Makes me think of how everything is really connected. And it's still kind of hard for me to believe the universe works this way, I know that once I release my OWN resistance, more and more cool things will happen to me personally, if I just allow them and quit saying "but that can't happen because the world works like this, first you have to do a, b, and c to get what you want."

Currently I've gotten over my fear of synchronicities... that was quite a hurdle. Now I just come to expect that when I'm thinking of a name, or place, or anything, that I'm going to hear about it instantly on the radio, tv, or someone else just bringing it up (as long as I'm in a decent mood--it only happens when I'm basically at peace).

I'm amazed how powerful a thought can be. Am I ready for what that entails?

I also just want to point that these two beliefs are not compatible:

1. "Everything that happens in my life is a result of my own thoughts."
2. "I always need to take action in order to make things happen."

If you accept (1), you cannot accept (2). Why? Simply because numerous events and circumstances occur everyday in your life, without you actually performing any physical action to make them happen.

Your baby falls down at home; your colleague resigns and you have to take over his work; you find money on the street; an old friend calls you up to say hi; a bird shits on your head; you experience smooth traffic; your mail arrives on time; your neighbourhood is clean and safe; the flowers in your park bloom beautifully; your mother decides to go for cosmetic surgery; you grow more white hairs; your friend buys you a surprise present to cheer you up; the government changes the laws and you pay less income tax.

NONE of this has anything to do with your personal action. But if you accept (1), all of this has everything to do with your thoughts.

I had a lifetime of doing this without it getting me much of anywhere. Meanwhile, my thoughts and emotions were busy creating my reality. A reality I didn't much want. But by god I was working hard at it.

LOL. All that "action" can be pretty tiring can't it?

Yep! Ever so much better to concentrate on feeling *right* and thinking about what I truly want.

[Jack]

I believe that action is NOT a must for manifesting.

Also i heard a person who is able to manifest things from air(i heard it on wikipedia firstly i think,also from Acting like Godot too if i remember true)

[BladeRunner]

Action is a word to describe doing, which is a word to describe something other than being.

Doing is to be moving, being is to be still.

Stillness is being present in the moment.

The present moment is all you are and all you have.

Action is not required, but will speed things up. Every thought is real and tangible. It exists already as soon as it is concieved.

It will try to make its quickest path into your "actuality". What you experience.

For instance you can visualize cookies and a cookie commercial will come on tv, or girl guides will show up at your door.

However; for larger less probable manifestations there is a need to open doorways to that probability to speed it up. If you are visualizing a new car then maybe start filling out contest entries (a door), apply for a new job (door), buy lottery ticket (door), get outside..........
(be careful though. visualizing a new car is a quick way to have your current car malfunction)

Your mercedes although real may find a hard time getting into your hands if you are in prison, and it will take a lot of belief to overcome the realities imposed by everyone else before the actuality takes place.

I Vote for NO ACTION REQUIRED. Action can also be interpreted as "intention" in which case I'll contradict myself. I believe it is necessary to intend/expect results (and always be thankful/even in bad situations).

You are a god.

"god knows every sparrow that falls in the forest because he is every sparrow that falls in the forest" - SETH

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

You were created in gods' image.

If you have faith as small as a mustard seed you could say "That cookie is mine", and it will be yours.

We are all ONE. separated only for the purpose of experiencing all (gods goal).
