When I worry about things?

[vfrrick]

Ok I am fairly new to the LoA, but I have been using it all of my life without knowing what it was, so not so new.
I still can't figure out when I fear something might happen and I focus on it and give it due time most of the time it will not manifest. But if I don't focus (worry) about it almost inevitability it will come true. Now with the LoA you would think that because it has been given energy it would come true and if I don't give it energy it would not manifest. But actually the opposite it true.
Example: If I think I am look down and see that I am low on gas I might worry that I was going to run out of gas before I find a station. It is highly likely that I will find a station in time. But if I look down and see I am low and say no reason to worry I will find a station before I run out of gas, it is highly likely that I will run out before I find one.
That is a simplified example but exactly how it seems to work for me.
Anyway I hope someone will have some insight into what I am experiencing.

The idea here would be to look at the gas meter and acknowledge that you have low gas, but look at it in an optimistic way. "I'm low on gas, but I can definitely find a gas station around here. I'll have no problem filling up and getting to my destination." There is a difference between worrying about something and giving it consideration. You must consider your problems because they are situations for you to test your skills and move on forward towards your goal. All goals have inherent challenges to test you. Worrying about the problem thinking that it will impede your goal is where manifestation begins to work against you.

I understand that part of it. My question is why when I give things that I worry about thought and think I hope this does not happen, why then will they not happen and when I don't give something that could happen thought it will or does happen. Sometimes I think I better give that some energy to make sure that it does not happen.

Well, in that case it's possible that your underlying belief about how this works is what actually causes it to work this way. In other words, if you believe this is how it works, that's what you'll manifest in your experience.

It's possible that you have within you a deep belief system which brings this about. It's possible you are still vibrating at the consciousness of the "older" you. It's possible that these events which are occurring are due to God's way of teaching you some lesson or to shape something in the future we have no knowledge of.

I think it has to do with how you think and focus - in your example

run out of gas before I find a station - focus is "Find a station"

find a station before I run out of gas - focus is "Run out of gas"

It isn't so much the problem but how you see it and the focal point of the thoughts your having.

The underlying belief is a deffinite possibility. I don't think I am giving the sub consious enough credit and need to spend sometime reprogramming the sub consious. At first I was under the impression that the consious programmed the sub consious but the more I look at it, it could be just the other way around.

Anyway any ideas on making changes to the subconsious would be great.

Hi vfrrick,

I've found a great deal of success in adjusting and redirecting my subconscious thoughts with aided meditation and other technology. I've been using Holosync for a year now and have found it to be a wonderful aid to assist me in actually meditating on a regular basis, as well as revealing and moving past a lot of limiting beliefs formed many years ago. You can learn more about Holosync at this forum, and there are links there to the Centerpointe website from which you may order a sample, or purchase the first level.

I've also recently begun using PATHS, which is completely different technology than Holosync, and takes much less time to use. There are a couple of lengthy threads on these boards, as well as a separate forum, here, which can fill you in on most of the details. PATHS has seen a bit of controversy here on the Pavlina forums, but i can personally testify to it's effectiveness, as can a number of members here.

All the best to you on your journey!
Love,
Joy

Ok how about this and I am sure everyone has heard this and at sometime had it work against them.
