Consistancy V Emotion

[judge45]

I'm not convinced that emotion or strong emotion is an important part of IM. I manifested a specific amount of money (4 figures) with not much thought and very little emotion.

If we arre indeed all powerful, it's the consistant change in thought or not dening self that is more important that emotion. In fact if you subscribe to total responsibility, then there is no God or universe answering your prayers or giving you stuff, it's you and all you.

I'm starting to think this is true and that I don't need to over do it with tons of emotion and focusing. Something that powerful doesn't need to be beaten over the head with my emotions.

If you're not stupid, then neither is your power. I think consistancy is much more important than emotion and accepting total and full responsibility is paramount.

Hi Jeff
Why not concider emotion as like a guage that tells you where you are in ralationship to your pure desired out come. The better you feel about the current focus the closer you are to it and visa versa. Consistancy without emotion is for me like being on a treadmill. If I always do what I have always done I will always get what I have always got. Emotion has to be genuine or it is useless. That is why an attitude of gratitude is helpful as a platform to work from.

I'm not saying that emotion isn't important, just to be happy generally means you'll enjoy life more, but emotion won't help if the underlying feelings or consistancy aren't in line with the primary focus.

But I think Gurus and experts on the subject of PD emphasise to much on emotion or at least making dramatic changes to emotional states.

I don't believe strong emotion is necessary to create something but then you can't have any major internal resistance to your goal. I have observerd many times that only an intention is enough to make something manifest, a single thought or decision that this is what I want and sometimes a bit of action not backed up by strong emotion. But for more radical changes I have used emotion and I think it would have been very difficult otherwise. If someone has had traumatic experiences in relationships and now wants to attract a loving mate then I doubt they can do this with "not much thought and very little emotion" as you put it. Emotion has a huge transformative power and is a great help in such cases, it is a tool. But if you don't have issues or big problems then you don't need this tool. Creating and manifesting is natural and effortless. This is how I understand it.

Hi Jeff
Some examples from your experience may help clarify your point.
For me the emotional guidance system as a tool for clarity of intention. Which way feels best?, in regard to my intended primary desire.
If I want money for example the first intention is more money but if I have a negative trigger emotion that has wrapped itself around my actual historical perception of the word "money" then I am asking for something I don't have a good feeling about. I might believe for example, that money is evil or it is hard to get and I never have enough anyway. In those examples I have no chance to attract money because of the way I believe(historical perception) and feel(emotion) about it. I hope that the Gurus and PD professionals are teaching how to adjust those triggers for a more positive outcome.

Hi Lemon Juice
I think you and I are of similar perception and I think you answered with greater clarity
Thankyou

That is where I think strong emotion comes in handy - I have a bad feeling about something, possibly accumulated over a period of time, so I counter it with a strong positive emotion. I remember using visualizations that made me jump around my house (I was so happy!) and so the bad feelings with time gave way to the good ones. And it was only when my explosive positive emotional raptures calmed down that the manifestations began to happen.

Potent stuff.
