Whats going on here?!

[seirwyn]

Ive recently read 'Ask and it is given', 'Excuse me your life is waiting' and 'loa Step by step' (by Wendy betterini. they all stress the importance of feeling good-about everything not just your intents- and also not feeling negative. Ive pat that into practise and life is getting better. Ive had about three straight weeks of feeling good, not getting stressed as often as I used to and even indulging in delicious daydreams about my intents.
I have had a really good week and been feeling great. So you think that everything I could ever want should just magically appear right? So why is it that twice in one weekend I have intended to buy something from a shop, decided not to focus on the worry of 'what if I cant find it?' and instead fiocus on feeling all happy and excited about finding it, only to get to the shop and find it is not there. Nice one universe. What is going on?!
Am I limiting the universe by giving a time/spce limit? After all, I needed those things now.
I know I had some negative feelings but I didnt dwell on them I did feel them for a while but decided to be positive instead. This worked for somehting else this week (although it was difficult at first, it did work out very well in the end.)
Has anyone else had a similar experience? What Im finding is that as Im changing my energy Im getting more of the things I want but Im still not getting everything. (yet) Is this how it normally works for beginners? they never tell you this stuff in the books and courses. They just tell you to think ha[[y thoughts and 'poof!' all your dreams will instantly appear an alll your problems will disappear overnight! But in my experience it just isnt that straightforward.
I mean, why is it that I have a desire for a certain type of lace and a certain type of fabric. I didnt even bother to try to consciously manifest the lace because I didnt want to wait about 5 years for the thing to show up. So a week later I just stumble across an ad for a website and this leads to me finding the lace. But nothing like that has happened with the fabric. I care equally about the two of them, am in a vibe where my other desires are starting to show, yet total silence on this one and a few others.

I have a feeling that the vibration you are putting out is a little bit needy. You have also put a time limit on it. Maybe that is what is causing the problem.

Btw, it does not appear overnight. It takes time. Okay, if it is a simple thing like a dollar, and you are really good at it, you will find it on the next corner. But you see, you do not have to put in special preparation in order to receive the dollar except that you truly believe that it is going to come. But if you put out the intention to be a millionaire, it is going to take time, depending on how ready you are. It will happen when in your mind you are already a millionaire and are behaving like one. Try listening to Steve's podcast on how to change your beliefs.

You can only manifest as good as you can "allow" it..

roughly stated what does that mean?

It means even though at this very moment the universe is capable of manifesting for you a new car or a 90 ton steel building etc.

You consciousness your "EGO" would not react well at all if these things were to start just popping in more than likely you'd get really fearful.. in the future these things will be possible but for right now.. this limitation reality works the way it was designed too..

What is going on?

Manifestation and specifics don't always work well together.. often times the story here is.. I asked for something but got so much better

Why is that?

Cause it's easier to bring into your reality something so much better.. then specific ideas etc. I saw a manifestation of a laptop case I had seen in my head.. but didn't go seek out.. come right to me.. but this took at least 6 months to a year.. when I think about it now.. I suspect it was designed at the factory for me and took that long to get made and be dragged right to my door..

Am I limiting the universe by giving a time/spce limit?

You are limiting yourself by not cutting yourself some slack a break.. a simple manifestation test from abraham if I quote it correctly.. is sit down and think about how long you think the manifestation is going to be.. if you feel it must come right away.. it must.. if you when you think about it.. you know it's going to take a while.. it will!

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

As a beginner my recommendation remains the same.. sit back, be easy on yourself.. you’re not going to get it all done all at once..

Everything will come in it's appropriate time.. sit back and chill and if you can't do that then the secret is to perform a self healing on the "EGO" and I won't promise you instant results from that either but that is a way of 'accelerating' you and in that acceleration you will begin to create faster manifestation..

Thats just the problem-I did expect it to be there and to manifest instantly! However, on reflection it would seem that good feelings mixed with even a bit of resistance does slow it down or 'disallow' it if you have set a specific timeframe. Like this week I wanted to find a music program to run on my linux based laptop. Cutting out the details I made my first attepmt after work on monday. I was a bit worried that it wouldnt happen but I decided not to focus on that and be upbeat instead and daydream about how great it would feel to have the program.I told myself it would all go smoothly. Well, it didnt.
But instead of focusing on the frustration I decided to stay as positive as possible. The same thing happened on tuesday-no luck. By wednesday I was beginning top be a bit weary of it all but I saw it a a great opportunity to really test out the Loa (or rather my skill at it.) And that evening it finallly came into place-effortlessly! So it didnt happen when I said it would -I guess because although I did my best to be positive there was still a bit of stress (resistance) but it did happen.
Then just now I noticed a jewel was missing from a necklcae. Not very noticeable but still, 'this shouldnt be happening,' I thought to myself,' not with all the good vibes I ve been sending out.' I knew I could buy a packet of them but I would have to get it later on this week and I only needed one and I didnt want to spend any more money. So basically I resigned to it not being perfect but didnt feel really awful about it. 30 seconds later I see a packet of bindis (those jewels you stick on your forehead) They have the exact same jewel so I just extract it and glue it to the necklace-perfect!
My point is that I had no resistance-how many stories have you heard of people doing that-they just say 'oh well,' and give it up. They do not dwell on the fact they dont have it or feel depressed,they just get on with life and feel good. Happy thoughts+ no resistance=results it would seem.
Maybe thats why people often recommend 'set it and forget it.'
So after reflection I dont feel so 'let down' by the universe! Im only saying all this for other people who may read this post and have had the same thing happen to them and wonder about it the way I did.

According to two books I've read so far, forget about manifesting and concentrate on sucking the energy out of whatever might be blocking you.

This is the one thing I want to point out.. this is not correct and not helpful to you.. this is negative LOA..

A lot of people think.. now that I know LOA I can create my reality perfectly.. I don't need a car accident, a ride to the hospital, to see that negative man again.. and there right you don't.. but not if you PUSH against it..

I try to help people with this idea/lesson over and over again.. maybe one of these days I will explain it correctly

The lesson is: never insist that it has to be this way..

You and I are both part of a limitation reality designed to interact with ourselves.. we will be shown things that we don't like, don't agree with etc. the idea is to not get bogged down in it.. and by bogged down in it, I MEAN

Don't offer a opinion.. don't offer a judgment.. just say ohh that's "nice" and move on.. to get BOGGED down is to give it merit.. to say "that's not right" "you are bad!"

A idea my teacher tries to teach is don't insist you can't have EXPERIENCE.. by Law of Attraction you attract that experience closer.. a good way of thinking of manifesting is to use the word "preference"

I will try to give you a warm-up example.. we'll see if it helps..

3 important things happen to you this day..

1. You see a bicycle rider nearly get hit by a car

Average people might say:

Ohh, my gosh that bicycle rider was nearly killed, that driver is a idiot!

Some of us new agers prefer you think/behave like:

Wow, that was interesting.. moving on

2. You watch a vendor and customer get in a argument

Average people might say:

Cleary those people are behaving like morons, there's so much anger in the world.. when will we ever grow up?

Some of us new agers prefer you think/behave like:

Wow, that was interesting.. moving on

3. You watch the news and hear that politician is bad.

Average people might say:

Well, that bad politician deserved what he got, shame on him..

Some of us new agers prefer you think/behave like:

Wow, that was interesting and has absolutely nothing to do with me.. moving on

Understand clearly that this is a limitation reality and even as we our growing leaving behind many of these limitations.. we are not out of the woods yet.. for a while longer negative people/experience can still be around you.. for a while longer you may see things you don't like.. the idea here I have expressed simply is don't invalidate their experiences or judge them.. let them do their thing.. you concentrate on doing your thing.. find your fun joy and excitement is my suggestion

Themaster, once again your words have a huge positive influence and is helping me get back on the right path!!!! You just explained it perfectly for me to understand. I have been really bad about passing judgment on others. Ive gotten a lot better about it once I realized just because you think something might be a negative for that person does not necessarily mean that it is and you should just, exactly what you said, acknowledge it and then move on, or move back to staying in sync with what you want.
