Resistance vs Manifesting

[Footballman]

There is one thing I have major resistance to in my life and that is my study subject. I have been in denial (of my happiness) for about the last 4 years at university. While at college I haven't done the normal things, going out and having fun etc...because I never 'felt' in the mood to do so...and I just thought that was..'who i was'.

Now I know differently, and all those things I wanted I could have had. But the constant feeling down was due to the degree subject, which I just don't really like. So I am asking, if there is one bad thing in life such as this, does it completely ruin my abilities to attract what I do want?

Even now, I know I want friends and a good time etc....but I still feel lousy, like my best efforts to go and get what I want will still not work...unless I start afresh, let go of the degree and do another job which I can at least bare.

Thanks.

Your post is confusing. But I think I know what you asked. If you resist certain subject it does not affect other areas of your life where you hold no resistance.

So if you have some kind of limiting beliefs about your ability to have a great time with your friends, it will not affect the manifestation of your desire about money (considering you have no resistance towards the money subject of course).

I hope you understood my point.

Thanks for the reply.

I also thought that just because I resist my subject, it shouldn't affect other areas of my life.
Thing is, because I do not like my subject, I have worried about it quite a bit for the last four years - I think people can see this in my interactions with them(I've heard people saying this behind my back - that I appear 'very serious'). The worrying, which I suppose is the main problem is because my parents have always expected me to get top grades - in all subjects.
The effects on my body: psoriasis all over body, which I had UV therapy for, which made my skin an uneven tone. Hair thinning and hair loss, sore red eyes - also stress induced. So it does seem to effect other areas of my life, perhaps because I let it get to me too much.

It does. It's all the same subject: you are unwilling to be happy because of an external circumstance.

You feel lousy *because* you don't like your subject, but other people manage to be happy when they don't like their subject, so that's not really the reason you're not happy. Your subject doesn't *MAKE* you unhappy -- it's your thoughts about it that have you being unhappy. Choose different thoughts and happiness is available.

People sense your *victimness* (your living at the effect of circumstance) and naturally are not drawn to that. People are drawn to folks who are in charge of their own state, and tend to be repelled by people who give away their power in that matter.

Money and other forms of abundance, too, flow in the lives of people who are at cause. Thinking thoughts of how abundance is a matter of luck or other external situation ties a knot in the hose, and it can't get to you as easily if you believe yourself to actually be the cause of your experience of abundance.

And of course you've already noticed that your health is affected by your thoughts. Think different thoughts -- ones that reduce the stress on your body -- and those classic stress symptoms will go away easily and effortlessly. You already know that.

Go with the Law of Momentum -- start letting go of your resistance in any area, practice acceptance, move to a perspective of being 100% at cause in your life, and deliberately think thoughts that feel good -- and it begins to snowball, both in your thoughts and in manifestations of feeling good in your environment -- things like wealth, friends, love, health and vitality.

You could start small, but why not start big? You are an adult -- if you don't enjoy your study subject, why not accept that and take action inspired out of that acceptance? It sounds like making a change in that one area would make a big positive difference for you in all areas of your life.

For one day, forget your whole life, and just BE in the universe. Forget who you are, forget your problems, forget your past, forget your future. Just watch everything in the world, and everything that is inside you. Also forget that you're doing this. Everybody can afford one day to try it. And see what happens...

[Footballman]

Thanks for respsonse.

Yes, Angela, that one change will change me completely. I understand what you mean about the thoughts thing. While, I'm usually in somewhat of a semi-depressed state, there was a moment today when I snapped into a different calmer state. I just thought to myself(and it might sound silly or whatever)...'I'm alive, and tomorrow I'm going to be alive as well and that is eomething I am thankful for'...while I did this I really did begin to relax, until I got back into my normal mode of thinking about my troubles. When you say this one change will make a big difference..I have been on a journey for the last year really, tidying up my life. It all started when I changed my way of living...I changed my beliefs from 'I should do' to 'I will do what I want to do'. You wouldn't believe the changes that occured...most of the friends I was close to, I'm no longer close to, I replaced my wardrobe...the last thing remaining I suppose is the subject.


Macfly - that sounds really interesting. When I read your message and soaked it in I felt more relaxed...well at least not so worried as usual. It sounds like it's going to be difficult to do, but an interesting assignment.

I think you can still manifest lots of positive things. If you intend to find happiness, peace, etc, then something will open up to help you change your situation. Also, the intention will cause you to think of more ways to deal with school, and help you create better things for your life situation.

I think a lot of very positive manifestations come about when a person is having a difficult time with something in their life. The challenges encourage us to make a conscious choice to change our thinking, then our actions change, and the universe also helps us.

If you keep focusing on as many positive thoughts and feelings as you can, in any area of your life, and even try making some of your negative thoughts about your subject into better thoughts, things will get better.

Sometimes, if I'm having a negative thought or feeling, I can't immediate change it into a really good thought, but I can usually improve it at least a little bit. Then a bit more, then a bit more, until it finallly becomes a much better intention. Maybe that would help.

Thanks Spongsue....and cool name!

Yeah what you say has helped alot actually, it does work.

when your in resistance it really means you have been disconnected to your true essence, ....you are fighting your souls natural rhythm and journey...it wants to create for you, but your mind or ego is not allowing this to happen and its trying to force things for you...

let go of the thinking and trying, reconnect into your flow..and let the river take you. I know this is easier said and done, but this is where happiness and peace is...

[Footballman]

magic1, I actually really agree with you...it's that deep part of me that I've always 'known' has been there and I just neglected it to a large degree. Thanks very much for your message.
Would you say it's like listening to your inner guide, without letting the ego get in the way? Trusting the intuition I suppose?

its trusting that you are amazing and are connected to amazingness and that connection creates with you, because you trust it........it wants to be free...in flow...but that terrifies, your mind/ego, because in that state your ego has no role...

YouTube - Abraham channeled by Esther Hicks, "Go With The Flow!"

all up...don't listen to your thought as that is not who you are....and the trick is to know who you are....and you are more than thought...

[spongesuesquareskirt]

so glad it helped!

and I totally agree with Magic. We are a creator, but we usually don't really feel it, sometimes we don't know it, so we don't use the ability we have, but all we have to do is start to exercise it a little, and it will start to become easier, and we won't feel so controlled by externals, even though we are going with the flow, because it will be the right flow for us, some kind of inner flow that's aligned with a universal flow...something like that

[magic1]

yes creating is done at soul level not ego level....trust your soul....

[Footballman]

do you think that this soul guidance can be used for all decisions..for instance I'm living down south, in the UK and it's ok...it's not something that's enough to really stress me out (like the degree subject is), but I think I would be more comfortable/happier in the north of the UK...but I'm still OK in the south(London) since it's quite multicultural anyway.

Intellectually this might not make sense because the North is a lot less affluent but I'm originally from that territory - it's more 'home' to me I suppose. What do you think?

[magic1]

I personally think there is no right and wrong, there just is....the moment you start to way up things logically, you loose flow....you go into your ego mind, the part of you that thinks if you do this, that will happen or if you do that, that will be better.....you start to generate maybes and plans.....

it really is just about doing whatever you so choose in the moment, and trusting it all.......trust the river....flow on it...let go.... and letting go is a feeling of faith...

the thing is, many do not trust enough to really let go and say yes to life as we are still stuck on guarantees...our mind needs to know there is a pay off before we make a decision...and that pay off is an just an illusion...

[Footballman]

Very interesting post Magic1.

I see what you mean by guarantees. I think I'm at the stage...if there is such a stage of conscious development?!?, where I am ready to let go and trust my inner guidance. I feel ready to go 'with the flow'. I don't feel like resisting my instincts anymore. Thing is, I think if I had trusted my intuition in the past, my life would be a hundred times better than it is now..I'd have friends, a social life and a degree as well I think my heart's best intentions have been sabotaged by my ego mind!

Was this a lifestyle/approach to living you have always had, or is it something that you learnt? If so, I was wondering, have things always 'worked out' when you have chosen to 'go with the flow'? From things I have read on the internet, including Erin's blog, when you trust your intuition, the universe backs you, and things happen to work out for the best - e.g you end up meeting the right partner for you, or you end up finding the ideal job for you... you end up finding your heart's desires.

Thanks, footballman.

[magic1]

well I have experienced more magic than I can shake a stick at and to be honest..well here goes, I get messages from the universe...

heres what they gave me

W=flow
X=beleive
Y=get through ego
Z=have a target...

do that and you are a manifesting machine....

so ask for what you want, daydream about it, put that reality in your space, but live in the now and don't think, allow it, and do not stop it with your mind/ego..get to your soul and create from that knowing....

hey this sounds all amazing, and it is, and its truth, but we are hard wired, so in learning to manifest, the difficulty is getting through years of limited thought about our true nature...so its getting through the illusion of our own making...


and as for me, I like to think of my self as a magician gone wrong! ha....I'm still a baby at this, we all are, but I am at the level of pure knowing, put it that way, and this stuff is fact to me now........and I see it in my life all of the time....magic...beyond description...
