Acting Like Godot is on a distinguished road
Default This is like Magic

The past week, I have asked myself the following kinds of questions:

"How can I become much, much better at conscious creation? Where do I need to improve, and how? How can I grow faster and better at this LOA thing? .... and so on.

And I have set the intention that the answers shall come to me. Then I sit down to meditate, and I do the kind of meditation where basically I keep the mind clear and empty, and then I watch what arises .....

And the answers to my questions are arising! Like little voices in my head. Subtle, customised advice, tailor-made just for me.

You guys should try it ....

I haven't (yet) applied the advice that is coming, but I will. I expect that quit amazing things will happen very soon after that.

Something about the universe being a skilled workman who has lots of tools but nothing much to do. He will just sit around banging his tools aimlessly until he receives a blueprint that tells him what he's supposed to do.

Making the blueprint is my responsibility. I make the blueprint by visualising clearly my intentions. If I stop halfway, before I'm finished, the workman gets an incomplete blueprint and he won't know what to do. If I get mixed up or change my blueprint, the workman keeps tearing up his work and starting all over again.

The workman is very good, and he has nothing else to do, and all he ever does is either wait for the blueprint, or construct according to the blueprint, if he has received one. All I have to do is deliver the blueprint. The workman does the rest.

The workman has a personality. He loves to work. But he does get upset & frustrated when he gets a lousy blueprint, one that's unclear. He can't see what the blueprint says, so in such a case, he'll start randomly hammering around with his tools making whatever whatever whatever.

I have no involvement in the workman's work. All I am supposed to do is prepare the blueprint. The workman does everything else. He absolutely does not need me to help in the actual construction work.

I might agree with you there, Acting Like Godot, awhile back I came across this same concept where you simply ask your mind a question, even if it's a metaphysical question, and it does it's best to return an answer to you, often an accurate answer too....

Because of that, I would pay close attention to your answer...

Sounds fantastic, ALG! I love your method and I love the idea of a Bob The Builder waiting for me to give him a blueprint

That is awesome. Love the insight you received, what a gift! And, it is so true... if our intentions aren't clear, how can we get what we "want?" We don't even know what we want!

I am learning, too, to start with the basics and work up from there. I am working on manifesting the skills to manifest: being able to meditate deeply, visualize, etc. Thanks for the reminder, I do have some questions! I will give it a whirl today.

Great concept and I think it is key to people succeeding at this!

Ditto! And let me just add ALG that you've been of real help to me. I've only just recently started consciously and deliberately using the LOA (and I've already had amazing results I might add) and in part I've got your posts here to thank for that. Your posts are smart, insightful, and full of useful distinctions. Keep it up man!

Brilliant! I just love that. Bob the Builder sitting there idle with his construction hat on waiting for a blueprint.

Tell us what else you come up with. I'm going to have to try this method as well.

Default Nice!

What I love about it is it takes the pressure of making it actually happen off of you! Even though that's what will happen. It takes away the overwelm or fear of having to follow through. And that will probably make it a hell of a lot easier to write the blueprint. Great idea!

Thanks!

How do we participate in the Co-Creation process?

Meaning, I know Bob the Builder takes care of all the organizing himself, but at some point we do have to take action to at least go to the bank to deposit the checks, no?

Or is that only if we envision that as a requirement of the blueprint.

Next question:

What are the qualities of a good blueprint? What can we do to make sure the blueprint is clear?


Great stuff ALG. Your posts are really inspiring. Can't wait to see what you do with the info

I would think you would imagine you're actually handing this off to another human being and you'd want to make sure it's so crystal clear, it cannot be misconstrued. Make it idiot proof. Not that the builder is an idiot.

My two cents is that Bob lets us know what action he wants us to take and when he wants us take it. We just have to be careful about trying to take action on our own, totally apart from what Bob's putting together for us. When we do that, Bob is like, dude, if you wanted to do it yourself why'd you bother giving me the blueprint in the first place?

Thats very interesting. I've performed similar exercises myself. Not specifically with regard to "intention-manifestation" but regarding things involving other aspects of the nature of reality. I go into a meditative state, and ask a question, and then I wait for a response. I guess you could consider it similar to channeling. But the answers have always been profoundly enlightening for me.

Today's message (translated by me) goes something like this:

"Every intention comes true. Unless blocked by another intention. Flight would be possible, if you had not built gravity so well."

ALG, that is great what you are doing. It sounds like you are particularly skilled at translating the 'packets of information' which are yielded up from your subconscious into language. Self-hypnosis is another useful tool.

I referred to this on the other thread 'Power of Now v LoA':

I believe there is a two way flow. Concepts and images often arise from our subconscious without our conscious control (especially in dreams). As they filter through to the conscious mind, we try to make sense of them, by putting them in a context we understand, which may be linguistic, or it could be pictorial, auditory, or just a certain feeling.

We can also directly ask for information from the subconscious. Again, concepts and images will be yielded up to the conscious mind. If we interpret them correctly, they can be very useful. But, yes, there is a lot of random noise as well.

We can also consciously create strong, positive thoughts, which sink down into the subconscious, which have an effect there, and again, yield a response (programming the subconscious?). This is especially useful when trying to break unwanted habits and behaviour patterns.

I don't know why that would confuse you, ALG -- you do say this around here in one form or another, and have worked with me on this as well!

We built gravity into the system to provide stability for the physical forms. Then we wanted to fly. So we had to invent something that would overcome gravity and be able to fly us around, and thus we have airplanes.

I love that message you got there.

Edit: thinking further -- is the message that there really are no limiting beliefs? We call them limiting beliefs, but actually they are other intentions.
