big v. small

[delu5ional]

someone already posted a thread about this - how manifesting bigger things may be easier as we are inclined to feel a greater surge of emotion towards them (as opposed to toward a mere cup of coffee) - but i'm still curious as to whether or not this notion holds any validity.

i'm new to IM and am running into major roadblocks manifesting the littlest things. did anyone have a lot of difficulty getting started? how do i get rid of this resistance within me towards even the littlest things? i don't know if i'm being inadvertently pessimistic or judgmental, but i do know that i'm trying very hard.

any tips or comments would be very appreciated.

Check this out - the blue feather experiment - may be a useful learning lesson for you.

That is the problem. Trying very hard, I mean.

That sounds like me. I was too attached to the idea of testing IM to see whether it was real or not that it contaminated all my intentions with this intention.

More info here:
Mind-Manual » Life/Happiness/Intention-Manifestation Tip

and at the Quantum Leap link in my sig. Another thing that I mentioned in the thread ALG posted is to focus on what you really want, decide on it and do it regardless of whether you get IM-magical help or not. Just have to tell yourself that you'll be ok even if IM doesn't work and is just a load of baloney cause its simply one thing in a process of exploration and growth that is your life. If this thing doesn't work, the next thing you try just might.

Manifestation comes in many forms, including direct action, magical action, synchronsity, etc, don't focus on limiting it to just one way of manifestation. Allow it to manifest from different ways. And if the method presented to you is too difficult or complicated, ask for a simpler method.

I'm not an expert, but I find it helpful to not put too much pressure on LoA--that is, I find it easier to have the attitude of, "let's just try this out," rather than, "this is how the universe works," only because if I give it too much seriousness, and too much thought, it is less likely to happen. Approach it as a "what if it were true," rather than "this IS true."

Also, I like focusing on the big AND small. Some people say you should concentrate ont eh small because it's more believable. While this is true, I think that imagining what your life would be like as a millionaire will help break down resistance to money. I guess it's a personal choice. Then some people say you should think about the biggest, best possible things. I guess this is better if you have less resistance to the topic.

I'm along the similar lines as oberlee... I like to use or ponder the phrases "I wonder if... or, wouldn't it be nice if...". Using these with the feeling of yes, I do want __________ but it's not a really big deal.

But you will inevitably fine various answers given by various people and they all have merit. I would suggest relaxing and not trying to hard (as ALG said). I personally think that you're already a master at manifesting (we all are) it's more of becoming aware of what you're currently manifesting, once you do that you'll be able to tweak your life to suit you better...

LOA (Law of Attraction) brings you what you ask for, or manifests your thoughts. If you believe it takes alot of effort to manifest things, LOA will bring you more of that.

As for something, think about it, picture it in your mind, visualize actually receiving the item that you requested, imagine how it might even happen. And then as Steve would say "Make it so!" (just kidding, I don't think the universe actually hears your voice, it's your thoughts that are being sent out) and then forget about it - that's how it's worked for me.

I didn't think the blue feather experiment was possible for me (again my own self-placed limits) but I performed my own white feather experiment. I didn't even put that much emotion or thought into it, maybe a minute. I forgot about it and a few days later, my little white feather manifested in my reality. I didn't question LOA with how it would happen or when it would happen, the manner in which it would come about (since those are all limits, don't bother with the details about how it will happen, that is a limit which represents a conflicting thought which will cause your IM not to work in my opinion).

See the thread on "what have you manifested recently", my post was on the last page (or 2nd last page) I believe, I manifested 2 things recently and I can't explain them any other way.

Good luck, let us know when it happens for you, when it does, your eyes will start to open to the possibilities this provides you.
