Possibilities

[Maguru]

I've believed in LoA and I/M for some time. I haven't seriously approached it on the forum as I thought if it does work, then it must be working all the time. All our thoughts, decisions, intentions, feelings, desires must be at play, not just the one's we focus on. In other words, I thought whatever it is we are attracting into our lives is from our beingness. Not an abstract beingness but the whole human-being we have become.

With this in mind, I made it my mission to know absolutely everything that was going on inside me. Ingrained stuff, suppressed stuff, beliefs, unresolved issues, sub-conscious stuff. I hadn't a clue what I was in for but I knew it was my intention. I knew LoA was working but I could not share all the internal manifestations, but they were there.

For quite some time, all my desires etc have been to free myself from past conditioning and this included anything I used to feel passionate about. In any case I have everything I need and a rainy day fund. The thing is, now I feel ready to apply it out there, I haven't a clue what I want.

Except for one thing. I would love to have the opportunity and the ability to motivate others into living the best life possible. I have no training. No books or degrees to back me up. Just a life lived. In my experience up to now I think I can expect doing it for myself first. So be it.

Ok the ball is rolling. Regards, Paula

Hi Paula

Life experience in my opinion,is worth more than any written qualification. I would love to hear more on how you apply LoA. Please give us some info on your knowledge LoA

Well, I can't speak for others, but I can for myself

You say you want to "motivate: others into living the best life possible."

My 1st.question would be: What *best life* are you demonstrating...
useful as the Springboard... helping me enrich how I already live:
1. a life of personal healing...
2. a life of personal development...
3. a life of persomal growth...
4. a life of personal joy...
5. a life of shared...Love, &
6. a life of exciting achievements...

Excited about your response. Cheers!

Well thankyou for asking. I obviously attracted you and so here goes. I don't really have knowledge of LoA. I was hoping to get that here. What I have are inner experiences with LoA. One of those is pretty well documented in the thread "How do I live with this ugly truth?" I didn't specifically use any knowledge of LoA but when I opened the thread, I knew that I was instigating transformation from who I had become.

I put out my intention with focus and determination, then let it go. I didn't pre-empty what was to come but had a good idea that it would show itself through my forum family. It did, as it has many times.

Basically, most of my experience with LoA have been internal manifestations. I've had a couple in the physical reality but too few to draw any conclusions. In these cases I don't know if I am seeing what I want to see. However, when it comes to being who I want to be, or who I don't want to be, I ask, it comes back. Many times as a process and sometimes straight away. The more I trust and the more I believe, the closer it feels to being in harmony with life.
regards, Paula

Hello again. I hear you. I don't have to go any further than your 1st question. The truth is I am not. No-one on earth would listen to me if I haven't done it for myself. Lead by example hey? Thankyou and I'm a bit excited too.

Hi Paula,

I know what you mean. I have two things I want to address:

Firstly, I think it's next to impossible to know everything that's going on within your subconscious. It's subconscious for a reason, and it is so deeply ingrained and rooted that it's hard to see everything there. It's like the frame through which you live your life. A lot of times we take that frame for granted and don't realize it is there. It is like the dream's rulebook I was talking about in the layers of truth thread.

But you can find these things indirectly. Let's say you want to have more money, but you just find yourself always being broke, living paycheck to paycheck, etc.

The first thing to realize is that you don't want it to be this way, and it conflicts with your desired outcome, which is to have more money, and not have to worry about it.

Next, obviously something is wrong because you don't have to be this way. There are plenty of people who are just naturally wealthy.

So it's down to a limiting belief in your subconscious mind. It is a belief within your frame, your rulebook so to speak, that you're clashing with. The solution? Change the rule. You can do that — it's your rulebook. Empowering isn't it?

But this is how you can determine what is in your subconscious: by the results you are getting in life. They point you within to see the beliefs that are causing those results.

How do you change the rule? Well, I have two favorite methods:

If there is something immediately present to me, that I have some negative emotion towards, then I do Byron Katie's The Work on it. That dredges up the major stuff and helps to clear it out. It can have major effects within a few minutes. Perhaps you can work on statements like, in our example of being broke, "I'm frustrated at myself because I am always broke." Those negative emotions are very important in this process.

Secondly, I do ho ʻ oponopono on it. This helps me to sweep away those fears that came up through The Work, and also to gently clean out those old limiting beliefs; it helps to gradually delete that rule. Then you can rewrite it as something more positive in your life.

My thread "Zero Limits" discusses my own experience with it. I'm still working at the same process, but seeing things change consistently.

My second major point was that you don't necessarily need to lead by example by already being perfect, or even close to perfect. It is humbling, but I think it is very useful to lead by example by applying the principles to your own life, and sharing how your life is changing right now as a result. It doesn't need to have already changed.

I regularly share my personal struggles that are happening right now, but also how I am overcoming them. I have the tools to do so, it is just about applying them. Sometimes I fail, and I admit that. Other times I have huge successes, and I report that. Then others can join with me in that process.

So don't feel unworthy of the path you desire because your life isn't perfect, or because you don't have academic degrees. None of that really matters.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Have you any specifics of success with LoA?

My problem is that I am stuck. I live a very comfortable life, I have everything I need and a bit more. There is nothing I desire e.g. holidays, lotto win, job, partner, children. Nothing at all on that front. However, I wake every morning feeling dread of the empty day I have to face. I've been 'out of action' for several years while doing the inner work. (This is why I spend so much time on this forum. It's the company without the responsibility, if you know what I mean.) This is what I want to change. I want to participate in real life and not just be the bystander I have become, just watching and waiting.

My desire is to break this cycle that I am in. All my LoA work has been internal and this is the first time that I am putting it 'out there'. I want something to get motivated about. An opportunity, a reason to get out of bed in a morning. I need an injection of Life.

Most of the things I've worked on have been internally, though I've also had some success with financial issues, but I'm still working through limiting beliefs in that regard. The thread I referred to has more information on my intentions.

So you are definitely desiring something. It may not be a material thing, or a relationship, etc. But you are desiring something to do in life.

What's it mean for you if your days are empty and you have nothing to do? How would you feel if you would have something to do?

Injections of life only come from within. You get out of bed because you love living.

I think we have a mutual understanding here.

Definately!

What's it mean for you if your days are empty and you have nothing to do? How would you feel if you would have something to do?

I literally have nothing I want to do and very little I have to do.

Injections of life only come from within. You get out of bed because you love living.

No, it's because I need the loo. I used to but my life has changed. This is my reality and from here of knowing this is not living my heart's desire, I intend to change it using LoA. It may manifest within and it may manifest without. I already know this is going to be a process that I hope to document in this thread. I'm wanting to come out of my hidey hole (and I've just felt the energy behind that statement.) Well see.

Ok, so manifest something. Are you talking about wanting to be a life coach? Help people with this stuff. Or are you just talking about just needing something to do. Like volunteering. There are not shortages of none profits that could use some help.

You need an idea that is thrilling you out of your mind.

My desire is to manifest something new for myself. Something that inspires me to get out of bed. I don't know what it is but I believe that LoA will respond to my desire in a way that I, as a mere mortal, could not.

I want more than an idea, Reefs. I've had enough of those.
