Having everything you've ever dreamed in the next ten seconds.

[Karanime]

Life is just a series of beliefs. What you manifest today is a result of what you believe. If this is true (and LoA does suggest this), then there is literally nothing stopping you from having everything you want, right now.

"No, my beliefs are stopping me!"

True, but that's a belief, too. Kill it.

"But that takes time."

That's a belief, too. Kill it.

Actually, have any excuse whatsoever, I could respond with the same thing.

Next time you doubt, say to yourself, "This is a belief."

Then use whatever technique you've allowed to be most effective to kill it.

Do it. Now.

I agree, nicely put!

Perception is your reality

[Twinma]

Great idea!

Can we all share what has worked best for killing those limiting beliefs?

I use EFT in various scenarios. I am open to learning more techniques. Of course, hoping for that one magical one that makes a huge impact on my IM.

WAIT!

basically, I don't understand something. you say beliefs controls manifestations. but, believing in this statement, is also a belief.

so I can stop operating all of my beliefs if I stop believing in beliefs control manifestations?

Are you asking if you can stop believing in anything?

The Cloud and I once had a conversation that ended with "All that is, is 'is'." (punctuation added for clarity)

There is no truth. There is no spoon.

So believe in nothing, and you can believe anything.

I love the way you keep getting right to the point with your posts. This is something we so often forget. I mean how many times have I told myself: oh, I want and will have that but it's not going to be easy to get it. So wanting and having it I have down, it's the "it's EASY" partwhich is a lot harder for me (see, there I go again).

Ok, so to change those belies I need to believe making things happen is easy for me and that believing it's easy is also easy.

Now anyone know really good belief busting exercises?

[KaeGabSte]

karanime, you are a genius.

[Divajules]

The OP pretty much nailed it! The process by which you are able to kill these beliefs can be dicey, however. Fortunately, everyone (spiritual teachers) is pretty much saying the same things but just in different ways. All you have to do is find someone who says it in the way that resonates for you personally causing you to finally "get it"!

"Having everything you've ever dreamed in the next ten seconds" . . . doesn't sound entirely fun. Like entering an instant victory cheat code, heh. (Alright, maybe once to see what it's like, assuming you'll build more desires pretty soon after- Yes, that sounds fun. )

Haha! I think what most people want is freedom. People think that money=equals freedom. In a sense thats true, but you have to remember, thats only one way to become free. And whats wrong with entering cheat codes? Its not like you can break reality.

the real belief that gets in the way of having everything you want right now, is the belief that you need something else.

if you try to go about it as if there's something lacking and try some technique to change a belief that says you can't have that thing or situations that you think is missing - the only thing that changes is the belief - the situation will still be there.

beliefs are what color what is in contrast to what you wish it was. you have a job you complain about - so your belief is your job isn't what you grand wish is. ok now change what belief? that you can't go find a better job? and then what? you have an instantly better job? probably not.

why not ditch the belief over the contrasting mismatch of what is and what you wish for? somehow make your beliefs exactly match up with where you are in life situations - then there's nothing to need to wish for and you will have everything you want because you already believe you have everything you want.

That sounds a little like a manifestation technique I used a while back. It was telling the universe, "No matter what happens, I will enjoy it." And whatever happened next was usually what I wanted to happen.

However, you can instantly find a better job if you believe getting good jobs is easy. You just have to believe. :P

How come you stopped using this technique then? This sounds like something a person could use daily.

I use the same affirmation if i need a break. "Today is going to be awesome and stress free " Works every time. Sometimes i use it day after day after day after day.... i like watching all the odd co-incidences that allow me to skip out from doing work.

I was really enjoying this discussion.
It was educational and inspirational.
thank you all.

Simply because I believe I forget everything.

I also believe I'm having issues staying detached from outcomes, but I also believe I'm getting better.

And now I'm sick of using the word "believe" in front of everything, even though it's the most true, so how about I ignore the word and everyone just assumes it's there, 'kay?

Lol.

In reading through these threads I noticed that cylon (If I remember right) has mentioned several times about how life or "reality" is itself a dream...

If this is true, then theoretically, it should be possible to manifest changes in reality instantly...

But realistically, even if I were having a LUCID DREAM and knew it and wanted to change something about the dream, I'm not sure I'd be able to do it instantly.

I'd still have to decide what changes I wanted. Focus on that intention, use some form of visualization etc. to bring about the desired changes - even in a dream where I knew for sure that this was possible.

Would I be able to control my thoughts in a dream any better than I can in "real life" ?

Is there a difference ?

Maybe not.

And,... If this world is a shared or collective kind of dream... can I make any major changes in this reality without the cooperation and agreement of the other dreamers ?

[cylon]

Time is an illusion too. You manifest things as quickly as you can without it scaring the crap out of you and making you feel like you're going insane.

Things will happen to you that will happen instantaneously. The question is how willing you are to experience reality in that way. If you can handle that sort of change to the way you think about the world, things will happen more and more quickly (quickly being an illusion obviously--time doesn't exist).

If you can't handle it, if it's just too "weird" for you to deal with, your safety mechanism will kick in and you will start "falling asleep" again, becoming less lucid, to the point that you start believing you are separate from others and that time is real, and that the things in your life (including your body) are actually real.

Then later you try again. In my experience it's been two steps forward, one step back. You see some people here who just can't deal with the ramifications of being one with the universe and they leave in fear because their egos do not like the idea of oneness. That struggle, that sense of "me verses the world" is their identity. To lose it is to have a feeling like you are about to die. Which is scary. To watch your reality sort of shift because of your thoughts can be a bit unsettling.

But eventually you experiment a bit more with the idea that it's all an illusion, something "magical" happens REAL FAST... but this time you aren't as freaked out by it. You don't run away from your own experience. Which is similar to staying lucid for a longer period of time, in the dream.

You can say that again...

I've have had a few experiences along those lines... instantaneous "results" to a visualization. At first, even when the "results" took weeks to manifest it still really really blew my mind to such a degree that I had to lay off and just try to bring myself back to reality.

Things will happen to you that will happen instantaneously. The question is how willing you are to experience reality in that way. If you can handle that sort of change to the way you think about the world, things will happen more and more quickly (quickly being an illusion obviously--time doesn't exist).

Things have happened just as you say. Manifestations came more quickly once I was more able to accept it... But that took many years (at least in the illusion of time/life whatever).

If you can't handle it, if it's just too "weird" for you to deal with, your safety mechanism will kick in and you will start "falling asleep" again, becoming less lucid, to the point that you start believing you are separate from others and that time is real, and that the things in your life (including your body) are actually real.

It sounds like you've been through a lot of what I've been through and are further along than I am. I had one really weird visualization experience that seemed to involve some sort of time shift where something that already happened un-happened.

My parents got a phone call from the police apparently, that my brother was in a bad car wreck. My brother and I were really close and my father was leading my mother out to the car and she was crying.

I thought that if I could "visualize" my brother being OK - that he never really got into the car wreck - before my parents got to the scene...

As they left I was in something of a state of shock at the news. Before he left, my father had said that from what they said on the phone it was really bad and that he thought my brother was probably dead. I just stood there in the driveway "visualizing" until they got back... Visualizing that it never happened that my brother was OK and that the car was OK and even that the pole he hit was OK, because it never happened.

Well, to tell all the details would be a long story.

But when my parents got there, my father told me later that when they arrived at the scene - my brother and the car were not there.

He said that the police and ambulance and everybody else was there but my brother and the car were gone.

I asked: " what, did he drive away before anyone got there ?"

He said: "That's what I asked them... they said no"

Well where did he go?

He said that they said that "he just disappeared".

He said that it was like everybody was going crazy and that nothing anyone said made any sense.

He thought it must have been somebody's idea of a practical joke.

At that I was thinking - - I did all that intense visualizing for nothing - - it was all just a joke ?

Or ???

My brother didn't come home and nobody could find him anywhere.

The next day I woke up early in the morning before anyone else and the car my brother was driving was in the driveway.

I was looking it over for damages but there weren't any, then my brother was there next to the car. He seemed to appear out of nowhere.

I asked him what happened. I said that the way my father had described it, from what he saw at the scene, the whole front of the car must have been smashed. But I couldn't find any damage at all.


I told my brother that our dad said he was playing a practical joke.

I said: "What happened to the dent that was in the trunk - did you take the car to a body shop or something ?"

My brother told me to get into the car, that he wanted to show me something. That nobody else would believe him.

We drove to the scene of the accident and he showed me the tire tracks that went right into a telephone pole, It looked like the tracks went right THROUGH the pole, The tire tracks were actually straddling the pole. but the pole was still there and the car was fine and my brother was OK.

My brother said that he went into a skid and went off the road and he was heading down the bank right for the telephone pole and then the next thing he knew he was sitting in the car on the side of the road.

He said that then he got out of the car and looked at the tire tracks and saw what I saw. The tracks went down the bank and right into the pole - but there were no tracks coming back out.

There was a house across the street and I asked my brother if that was where he called from - he said he never made any phone call.

He kept saying that he thought it was a miracle - but nobody would believe him and he thought that I would be the only one who might believe him.

He said: "Do you believe me?"

I looked at the tire tracks... I thought about the phone call... what my father said and all that and I told him Yes, I believed him - and at that we drove home.

I kind of just dismissed the whole incident from my mind, but I emailed my brother some time ago to verify that this really happened and he emailed me back:

Tom, I remember it all very well. The road was covered with snow and the car was skidding and it went into a ditch on the side of the road and was heading for a telephone pole. At the last second, literally the car jumped out of the ditch and back into the road. When the car stopped I looked at the tire tracks in the snow and they just stopped suddenly right in front of the pole.There were no tracks leading out of the snow. Either it was a miracle or the car hit a bump or something that made the car jump suddenly and dramatical. I don't know really, it seemed quite miraculous at the time but I don't know. A lot of amazing things have happened to me over the years. What is a miracle? essentially its something beyond your understanding or ability or experience, but I think we humans have abilities that we don't even know about. We are all chemicals and electricity and who knows how those things all interact. For instance I think that music cds are incredibly amazing. How can zeros and ones make complex music? Well really all they do is make fluctuations in electrical current. Those make the speaker vibrate. The speaker makes the air vibrate. The air makes your ear bones vibrate which causes electrical fluctuations in your brain. Its all science and very simple but at the same time incredibly complex and miraculous... some people dismiss any ability that they don't understand. sooo.... ...I don't know what happened with me and the car...

This was a long time ago and it seems to me he is rationalizing the experience to some degree.

At the time he told me that he thought maybe the car ran up the pole and somehow flipped over and back onto the road or something. I also remember him telling me that he was heading straight for the pole and then just found himself sitting on the side of the road rather than the car jumping out of the ditch somehow. (It was actually more like a bank that just went down off the side of the road rather than a "ditch"...)

He didn't know anything about the phone call or the police and ambulance and everybody at the scene saying that he and the car just "disappeared".

You see some people here who just can't deal with the ramifications of being one with the universe and they leave in fear because their egos do not like the idea of oneness. That struggle, that sense of "me verses the world" is their identity. To lose it is to have a feeling like you are about to die. Which is scary. To watch your reality sort of shift because of your thoughts can be a bit unsettling.

No kidding, I still find this experience a bit unsettling.

But eventually you experiment a bit more with the idea that it's all an illusion, something "magical" happens REAL FAST... but this time you aren't as freaked out by it. You don't run away from your own experience. Which is similar to staying lucid for a longer period of time, in the dream.

BTW. Before the accident the car had had a big dent in the back where someone had backed into a tree... even that old dent was gone!

[cylon]

Wow, that is intense. I don't know how I'd react to something like that. Something "unhappening"... especially something regarding life and death. Totally mind blowing. I actually have had a couple experiences where things have seemed much different than they were before (can't explain it), but nothing like that.

And when you say he's trying to rationalize... what else are you gonna do? Lol. I think most of us are like that. We have experiences that totally shake our experiences of reality and I don't think anyone enjoys those sorts of experiences..... at first.

Yeah I've been doing this a while but I'm really only now starting to feel comfortable with the whole thing. The last few years I get close to realizing we are one with everything, then my ego fights back and I lose it, get closer, lose it again... over and over.

Seems only recently that when stuff happens like this I don't go totally nuts, which I take as a sign that I'm finally comfortable with how truly weird things are when you allow yourself to experience life in this way. Weird, to me, used to mean scary. It was a threat. Now I see it more as kind of interestingly strange, and even fun.

It's like going to the land of Oz or something, and deciding that you're going to enjoy the visit, instead of trying to go back home to the "way things were".

I figure if I'm really making all this happen, and I have my own best interests at heart, then things are going to be ok and I can just enjoy this new way of experiencing life.

[Karanime]

I love that it's visible how we're trying to make things fit into our reality.

Though, this does completely eliminate the belief that things have to happen within the rules of our reality. I mean, how many people at that scene truly believed that cars can just "disappear"?

I agree, LoA is scary as ****, but cool at the same time.

If we can stop being scared, we can do anything. The faster we adapt, the faster we manifest.

That's frightening and exciting all at the same time.

[mikethedrummer44]

Man that's an awesome story! I can only imagine the type of energy you were sending out in that intense visualization. I know if someone I loved could be close to death, I'd be sending out so much energy I could move a mountain.

[torilink]

I know from personal experience that when you truly begin to believe anything can happen, the freakiest things WILL happen!! You are seeing the formation of that belief in your outer reality.

Of course what I learned in my reality is that "Anything" truly means "ANYTHING".

The first few times I experienced the negative "ANYTHING", I got freaked and reacted with resistance - and set my belief back a bit. I needed to refine "Anything" for myself.

[Tom Booth]

The funny thing about it was this was actually the first time I had ever tried to apply all this "Creative Visualization" stuff I had started reading about.

I guess I never had the nerve or a good enough reason to really pull out all the stops and let go and do it.

I didn't SEE anything weird happen myself, (except the tire tracks) just the report back from my father and what my brother said...

After seeing the scene of the accident - I DID believe my brother, tentatively, but I was also poised between believing it was really "a miracle" and thinking that sooner or later my brother would confess that it was all a prank - so I just brushed it off and put it on the shelf and forgot about it.

Then, sometime later when I learned more about "creative visualization" and started "experimenting" with it, and experiencing other "weird" stuff... it was many years before I started getting any results comparable to this "miraculous" experience involving my brother.

It wasn't until then that I looked back on it and started to seriously entertain the possibility that...

That...

Well, the implications are just too staggering.

I know where this took place, and I've sometimes thought that I might be able to go back there and find some police officer or ambulance or tow truck driver or someone who actually saw the car actually vanish...

Maybe there is even a police report or something.

I can just see one cop talking to the other cop: "How are we going to write this one up ?" LOL

And where was my brother for some 10 or 12 hours when nobody could find him ?

All I know is that I did "visualize" very intensely - like I went into a kind of deep trance until my parents returned home... But I remember everything that I visualized.

I pictured the car without even a scratch and I pictured my brother returning home and the pole being restored as if nothing ever happened, but at the time I didn't know all the details -

Like, I knew there must have been people already there at the scene for someone to have called - and that they might be freaked out - but I didn't care - this was my brother - I thought; let them be freaked out...

But I didn't know the car had gone so far off the road and that it left deep tire tracks in the ground (the pole was actually down the embankment, about 8 or 10 feet off on the side of the road on the edge of a field) - so that didn't enter into my "visualization" at all... and so the tire tracks remained... (???)

It was only after many years of "experimenting" further with this visualization stuff that I was finally able to look back on this and seriously contemplate the idea that the "visualization" had anything to do with it. Previously it was just one of those things on a shelf in the back of my mind somewhere for which I didn't have an answer.

this is an amazing story how wonderful! What were your emotions/feelings while you were visualizing?

Serious proof that even the impossible is possible.

I love how this proves that intentions don't need a rational explanation to come true. That's so great. That certainly kills an inconvenient belief concerning manifestation.

I agree about the word "believe". I changed it for "know" and my alignments match much faster now...
