It's past 2 am here and I've just gone through the whole thread reading mostly your responses Chris.

I'm impressed at your knowledge, understanding and mastery of this!! Well done!!

You mentioned this formula a while ago:
"Thought (Vision) + Emotion (Energy) * Conflict = Attraction."

And that if we don't have any conflict we basically attract what we envision/emote.

So when you talk about conflict - you're basically talking about karma right? Can you talk more about the response/react mechanism? If we are present and conscious and appreciate the challenges/lessons/our experiences is that responding? If we accept, forgive ... is that resolving karma appropriately? If we resolve karma do we know instinctively and feel a sense of completion? How do we resolve karma in the fastest way possible?

Thanks for all the help you've been putting out in this thread!

Hyperchiller - When I'm talking about conflict, which includes karma, I'm talking about anywhere where our thought, feelings, words, and actions aren't in alignment. Take a look at the Akashic Records and Authentic Response sessions thread in this category (Psychic), and I've explained more there. A response does include being present, conscious and meeting our challenges.

Resolving karma is going to look different with each scenario. Yes, sometimes simply accepting and forgiving will complete an issue. Other times it takes something more - doing a ritual of acknowledgment, releasing a curse, stopping trying to win in a relationship now based on previous lives, etc. We know if we resolve karma if we don't continue to repeat patterns in our lives, either with the same person with which the situation originated, or different people.

The fastest way to resolve karma is to respond cleanly in the present moment, because it will have a ripple affect not only on this life, but on the other lives. Some keys for transformation include: remembering that everyone is divine and everything is sacred, treating ourselves like we would treat our most beloved child or partner, making the present moment the most precious, acknowledging what we need in each moment and embodying what we want from others (being internally validating), releasing any beliefs about anything so we can have a direct, personal experience, releasing the need to be in control/judge so we can witness with curiosity, releasing our entire past so we can be here now, embracing every day like it is our last.

You're very welcome - and thanks for interacting here!

Might've missed this but:

Do you believe in subjective reality as Steve Pavlina explains it and if so, how does the Akashic Records fit in?

Bluth and Hyperchiller - You're very welcome. Thanks for contributing to the thread.

Tanvir - I'm not familiar with his concept of subjective reality. Give us a brief summary here and I'll see how it relates with the Records.

Thank you Chris, the complete post is a rather timely reminder for me, the above standing out. Thank you again.

Love and light to you.

Sometimes I think I have enormous unresolved karmic debt since the work I've done has not seemed to remove obstacles.

Rezzy - I don't think you have enormous karmic debt, but even if you did, finding a new response to your situations would change your circumstances. It's like throwing the stone in a pond and watching the ripples carry out all over the place. The same happens when we respond - the ripples carry out to our other lives as well. Feel free to give me a pm if you want to talk more about some things that you don't necessarily want to talk about in the thread.

Talking

Hey Chris,
I had some questions about Bodhisattvas and Jeshua...
Does a Bodhisattva have a soul group still? Do they all know each other? Is it possible to have a soul twin that is not another one? Are there any tests to tell if you are one? What is the difference between one and an Ascended Master, or a prophet, or a messiah? How many lifetimes do they usually have before/after becoming enlightened? Is it possible to "come back" and not become enlightened again?
Also- I had a few general questions about Jeshua. You've mentioned many times his mom was enlightened. First- will you compare his birth to the Buddha's? Next, did he have a virgin birth? Or was his dad enlightened too? And did Jeshua have multiple lifetimes like most people, or did he just have the one? Perhaps you could also compare Jeshua's past lives with the Buddha's. Were they similar at all?*
Thanks for you help!

Maybe you're right, yet something seems to be preventing the abundant flow that I believe is available. And please don't anyone say I'm the one preventing it. With the work I've done to "get out of my own way," that would just frustrate me more!

InfinityTruth - This is a great question. I'm not aware of the answer to that, meaning, we are doing a variety of things while we're asleep and "dreaming", some of which is likely not going to register in our Records. Our actual dreams can seem to last a long time but in reality can be only moments. Going into the Records can seem like a dreamlike reality in the first place, so I wonder what it would be like to try to access a "dream within the dream" type of situation. This gives me something to consider - thanks for asking!

Deano - Glad you decided to ask questions on the forum! Thanks, and welcome to the forum.

A Bodhisattva can choose to have a soul group. Just like enlightened individuals can have an intuitive link and connect with each other, the Bodhisattva can connect with each other at will. A Bodhisattva doesn't need a soul twin, but could choose to have one for various reasons, and they have an intimate knowledge of physical matter, since they have evolved through matter to become a soul. A prophet can simply be an individual who can see future events and shares about them, the term messiah is typically related to certain religions that have stories about an individual who acts like a pivotal point, and each religion includes their own definitions about it. An Ascended Master can be any soul who has helped a body undergo the ascension process.

I'm not aware of an average number of lives they would have before enlightenment, and just like other enlightened individuals, they can choose to incarnate again if they want to. Yes, they could choose to come back unenlightened and become enlightened again.

Because Mary, the mother of Jeshua, had prepared herself for carrying Jeshua's energy, her body was able to give birth to him. Buddha's mother was not enlightened and she had not prepared herself in the same manner to carry Buddha's energy, so her body got exhausted carrying him and she died soon after giving birth to him.

Jeshua was literally his own Father, a fact that he proclaimed when he said "I and my Father are one". There have been other "virgin births" like this throughout history (i.e. Isis/Horus in Egypt), in a variety of cultures, and the Church tried very quickly to invalidate other stories and make Jesus the "one and only". It was about the marketing. Jeshua and Buddha had various other lives as well, which helped them prepare for their role as a teacher/wayshower - most of which are unknown, simple lifetimes. Everyone has their own unique way to waking up, as well as what they will share - so their paths were different.

Rezzy - I'm not aware of what is preventing you from attracting what you want in life. If Thought + Feeling * Conflict = Attraction, what do you feel is the issue?

Can you use the Akashic records to find your purpose, or do you chose your purpose on your own?

So, once we discover or choose our purpose, how do you go about manifesting or achieving that purpose in more than just the "usual way"?

Here is my summary, as I am interested as well,

Anyone way correct me if I am off:

It's somewhat like solipsism, Steve has called solipsism a less lucid version of SR that does not acknowledge the "outer dreamer". Consciousness is the container for everything in SR. He also references OR (objective reality) which is basically physicality is the container for everything, and things can be measured objectively.

He has said he uses SR and OR perspectives in stereo, and I guess it's the explanation of reality he found to explain his experience of reality creation and LOA. SR lens through an OR lens = solipsism according to him as well.

I apologize if I left out anything important.

I was thinking that if one could access the Akashic records, would it in anyway help civilization? What truths could be provided in order to speak a new resonant truth with human beings? In the process of human evolution, not in the Darwinian sense but on a more spiritually mature way, there has to be new guide posts. Do we look to the store house of the records, to see how we move into a new future? Me myself, I am interested in the Akashic records and all that it holds. I recently got a hold of an Akashic program, I have not used it yet, so I can not discuss it. I will however come back to this post and let everyone know what I found out about it.

Do people from our past lives sometimes come into our dreams as our dream characters?

Could we be animals in past lives?

EDIT: What does the akashic records say about everything being one? Just had my first, brief, experience with it, and it wasn't even my aim, pretty cool experience though.

can we access the records when we sleep? If so, how would we know we're there? I've had dreams of being led by others around places with photos and inscriptions on walls, when i wake up i can remember only snapshots as there is too much information.

Bluth - The more that we are internally-aligned and completely accepting ourselves, then the more we radiate our purpose consistently without even trying. And there will be different scenarios for everyone. Some people might feel it/discover it early in life, act upon it, and then don't need to dwell on it for the rest of their lives. Some people discover it late in life, and others embody it throughout their whole life. Depends on you.

I don't know what the "usual way" is considered, so tell us more about that and then that will give us a context to suggest something else.

Tanvir and Harmonium - Thanks for the explanation Harmonium. Many times people will seperate and classify our consciousness into things like Higher Self, etc, to intellectually make sense of things, when there is actually just consciousness and energy. As we release layers of conflict, our perspective shifts and we see reality from a greater understanding, accessing more wisdom from our bodies and souls that was previously blocked by ourselves.

The overall reality is similar to a holographic universe (which by the way, The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot is a great book), where each of us is a microcosm of the greater whole, and where we project our Soul into various time/space dimensions to initially have a 3 dimensional experience in one body, until at some point that becomes too limiting, and we progess to a more simultaneous and multi-dimensional experience.

So to me, subjective and objective will exist simultaneously, just like linear and simultaneous time, depending on which perspective we choose. Accessing the Records will initially feel very subjective, and as we gain more experience, there will be a shared objective perspective, meaning other people will be experiencing something similar to what you've experienced.

Derelle - Excellent questions! These are very meaningful questions and I salute you for asking them. How do you feel that civilization could be helped/has been helped in the past? In what has already been discussed in this thread about the nature of reality, who we are, why we're here, etc - how does it help us? What new truth about humanity are you wanting to be revealed?

There have been various individuals throughout history who have used the Records to help guide humanity on many levels - whether through prophecy to give immutable events and probable events so that people could shift their response, to guide leaders in daily activities and important decisions, to help communities have more peace and prosperity, to help individuals/groups awaken - you name it.

So then the question becomes, how do we want to contribute? What is our vision? What's our intention? If we can use the Records to help ourselves release conflict and fully accept ourselves, we can start experiencing even greater understanding in daily life, and we can find all kinds of ways to contribute. Let us know what you discover!

Infinity - Since lifetimes are also simultaneous, all of us have people in our current lives, that are showing up in our other lifetimes - which we can have an experience of when we're dreaming. So the short answer is yes.

We as a soul will not be an animal in a past life. Our bodies, before they evolved into a body, would have had animal expressions, which might have been quite some time ago.

Everything is inter-connected, made up of energy and consciousness, and yet we're all unique - no one thing is exactly the same as any other. So we are not all created equal, we are all created unique. I'm glad you had such an amazing experience! Keep us posted.

Teriyaki - Please look at previous posts to get more information about this within this thread. The pre-conscious state, when we're going to sleep and waking up, is the access point to the Akashic Records. So yes, we can get all kinds of information while we're asleep. You might not know that you're in the Records sometimes, and other times it might feel very obvious (i.e. having a dream about being in a Great Library doing an internet search).

Ask to have a more conscious experience of the Akashic Records before you go to sleep. Let us know how it goes!

I don't know, I guess I just see a lot of people working their asses of and are miserable. Stuck in a place they don't want to be , and the harder they try to dig themselves out the deeper sink.

Bluth - I've said most of this before, so I'll just recap here. The most basic level of existence for humans is moving back and forth between pleasure and pain. And many people will not be proactive about seeing themselves until they are forced to (i.e. in so much pain they have to do something). So a lot of people are now in that situation.

The mystics and mystic schools have maintained for centuries how important it is to "Know thyself". When we are stuck in a cycle of struggling, there is some kind of conflict that we are not seeing. If we're not willing to see ourselves completely, we will continue to feel stuck in the cycles of pain/pleasure. And there can be various layers that we aren't even aware of.

If we understand that we project our conflicts onto our lives, the world around us, other people, then we understand that gaining awareness is the first step. We have to know what we are doing to ourselves otherwise we are just sleepwalking through life. Even a simple method of witnessing ourselves will help, but we can also do things like write a journal, create a list of our core beliefs, a list of where our thoughts, feelings, words and actions don't match, a list of where we are stuck in the past or have future expectations, a list of where we need to be right/loved/externally-validated. Just getting our unconsciousness out in the open to our consciousness, can be enough to make a transformation. One method that I work with to do this is becoming aware of our reactions (where we are unconscious and stuck), to change them into a response (complete body-soul expression in the present moment meeting our needs). We play with our awareness to see where we are blocking ourselves, including how that feels in our body, and then how to move through that to give ourselves what we truly need in the moment.

We also need to remember are rightful place in the universe so we stop giving our power away to anything outside of us. We are a divine body and soul combination, inter-connected with everything, with nothing more powerful than us unless we choose to give our power away. We are a holographic representation of God/Creator/Source, here to witness Creation and uniquely contribute with our creativity and will.

I've placed so much information in this thread to help us see ourselves clearly so that we can remember who we really are and be inspired to dive inside to see ourselves. If we get stuck just asking intellectual questions instead of diving into the FEELING of what we truly are, that is just another way to stay with the struggle instead of creating a more conscious, effortless life.

There are so many things that help: Completely releasing the past, embracing the present moment all the time, using all of life instead of having preferences over what to use, witnessing instead of judging, seeing everything and everyone as sacred, releasing any need to be right about anything, treating every day as if it were our last so we can be truly authentic and not rehearsing life, having a vision of life for ourselves that we step into right now, knowing the dynamics of attraction, being completely internally-validating so that we embody what we want from others.

Where most people get stuck is in not wanting to change - we want to be out of pain, but not really want to change. And real change takes being responsible for ourselves and our lives, which means we need to be honest with ourselves without judging. Just because we have conflict doesn't make us bad, wrong, less than, etc, yet there is typically some judgement that stops us in our tracks from knowing ourselves. If we only had 1 day to live, all that crap goes out the window because it becomes meaningless! We suddenly have no time to waste in being present.

Many of us also have no idea of how to celebrate life. Any unconscious idiot knows how to party, but very few people know how to celebrate life in the moment, whatever the moment is bringing. As long as we have expectations of what life "should" look like, there will always be DESIRE - the gap between thought and feeling. When we can USE THE MOMENT, every moment, to be completely grateful for what it brings, and fully embody who we are, giving ourselves what we need in the moment, then our perspective on life dramatically shifts.

As long as we think that life is all about changing the outside to get what we want, we will continue to struggle. If we are living from the inside-out, then our external actions become an extension of our internal world, and all of life becomes a blessing.

Rezzy - YES! I pulled out the math on you to make it easy. Sneaky. Sneaky.

This is actually so simple that we make it difficult. If we have some kind of conflict (ie. Limiting beliefs like: Cant' have exactly what I want, have to have certain conditions to get what I want, don't deserve it, don't know what I want, can't ask for what I want, etc), then we end up attracting something that resembles our conflict to then resolve the issue. When we're conflict free, we attract what we want.

So if that's true, what is it you're attracting/not attracting and how does it make you feel? Or perhaps, what is it that you're not wanting to feel?

We can either be specific (i.e. I want a 2012 red Tesla Roadster), or we can let our guides fill in the details (i.e. I want a new car that gets great gas mileage). I have seen people attract something specific or just be open with general parameters of what they want.

Sometimes I have seen that what I thought I wanted was actually holding me back, and that it was time for something else. I wasn't being totally honest or honoring to myself. I remember when I first got out of college, that I wanted to get a restaurant job to just make some money while I looked for a career-aligned job. Despite going on various interviews, and having work experience as a waiter/cook, I couldn't get a job. I took it as a sign to move on and find other work that would challenge me and maximize me in different ways.

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, but I know many people in a similar situation as you are with manifesting. My one tip would be to perfect your visualizing skills, becoming expert at visualizing will eventually bring you all you wish. Ok I'm done.....

And many people will not be proactive about seeing themselves until they are forced to (i.e. in so much pain they have to do something). So a lot of people are now in that situation.

The mystics and mystic schools have maintained for centuries how important it is to "Know thyself". When we are stuck in a cycle of struggling, there is some kind of conflict that we are not seeing. If we're not willing to see ourselves completely, we will continue to feel stuck in the cycles of pain/pleasure. And there can be various layers that we aren't even aware of.

If we understand that we project our conflicts onto our lives, the world around us, other people, then we understand that gaining awareness is the first step. We have to know what we are doing to ourselves otherwise we are just sleepwalking through life. Even a simple method of witnessing ourselves will help, but we can also do things like write a journal, create a list of our core beliefs, a list of where our thoughts, feelings, words and actions don't match, a list of where we are stuck in the past or have future expectations, a list of where we need to be right/loved/externally-validated. Just getting our unconsciousness out in the open to our consciousness, can be enough to make a transformation. One method that I work with to do this is becoming aware of our reactions (where we are unconscious and stuck), to change them into a response (complete body-soul expression in the present moment meeting our needs). We play with our awareness to see where we are blocking ourselves, including how that feels in our body, and then how to move through that to give ourselves what we truly need in the moment.

We also need to remember are rightful place in the universe so we stop giving our power away to anything outside of us. We are a divine body and soul combination, inter-connected with everything, with nothing more powerful than us unless we choose to give our power away. We are a holographic representation of God/Creator/Source, here to witness Creation and uniquely contribute with our creativity and will.

I've placed so much information in this thread to help us see ourselves clearly so that we can remember who we really are and be inspired to dive inside to see ourselves. If we get stuck just asking intellectual questions instead of diving into the FEELING of what we truly are, that is just another way to stay with the struggle instead of creating a more conscious, effortless life.

There are so many things that help: Completely releasing the past, embracing the present moment all the time, using all of life instead of having preferences over what to use, witnessing instead of judging, seeing everything and everyone as sacred, releasing any need to be right about anything, treating every day as if it were our last so we can be truly authentic and not rehearsing life, having a vision of life for ourselves that we step into right now, knowing the dynamics of attraction, being completely internally-validating so that we embody what we want from others.

Where most people get stuck is in not wanting to change - we want to be out of pain, but not really want to change. And real change takes being responsible for ourselves and our lives, which means we need to be honest with ourselves without judging. Just because we have conflict doesn't make us bad, wrong, less than, etc, yet there is typically some judgement that stops us in our tracks from knowing ourselves. If we only had 1 day to live, all that crap goes out the window because it becomes meaningless! We suddenly have no time to waste in being present.

Many of us also have no idea of how to celebrate life. Any unconscious idiot knows how to party, but very few people know how to celebrate life in the moment, whatever the moment is bringing. As long as we have expectations of what life "should" look like, there will always be DESIRE - the gap between thought and feeling. When we can USE THE MOMENT, every moment, to be completely grateful for what it brings, and fully embody who we are, giving ourselves what we need in the moment, then our perspective on life dramatically shifts.

As long as we think that life is all about changing the outside to get what we want, we will continue to struggle. If we are living from the inside-out, then our external actions become an extension of our internal world, and all of life becomes a blessing.
This really resonated with what happened/has been happening to me lately.

I spent most of my life just going with the expectations and normalities of the conditioned life society has made. I've always hated this, but I always felt there was nothing I could do about it so I went along. This brought me many periods of depression. My parents also had a lot of expectations on me, and were forceful about them. Not being able to take care of myself, I was powerless and simply just, once again, went along.

The turning point in my life came when, out of a whim, I decided to drop out of college. Senior year, 2 semesters left, and majoring in mechanical engineering. I had been through so many bouts of sadness/depression/feeling completely useless/etc. My mind was always daydreaming about things I liked (acting, making movies, and changing the world). I had enough, and I felt this calling in me telling me "Okay, you've had enough. Now it's time for you do what you really came here for".

Ever since I was a child I've had Deja vus of myself in the future, and many synchronicities that at that time didn't make any sense. For instance (I'll give 2 examples): (all these things happened when i was in highschool)

(1) In 12th grade, I had a dream that I was in a big city. The place was crowded, and the buildings were really close to each other. I was carrying a bag of some sorts (I couldn't really see it). I was so happy to be there. I saw myself put my arms up in the air as if to say "Finally". This dream made no sense to me back then. [Fast forward to present day, and I will be leaving for New York next week, and I plan on living there. I will also be wearing a backpack, the first time I'm travelling with one lol.]

(2) In highschool my older sister called me on the phone and said "I had a dream about you acting. You were acting a movie. It was weird". I was like "me acting? Lol right". [I'm leaving to pursue acting/scriptwriting in NY]

The universe knew what I really liked, and wanted to put me on my "flow". Ofcourse at that time I couldn't do much about it because I didn't control my financial matters and didn't have the papers (not an American citizen). Fast forwards a couple years into college, my sophomore year, I get my green card and can finally work/drive. That's when the "Okay it's here. Drop out of engineering and do what you like" nudges started to coming in. I resisted, "I will finish engineering, get a job, and then maybe if I'm interesting in acting/scriptwring/etc I'll pick them up as a hobby" I said. The more I resisted this flow, the more miserable I became. I literally hit rock bottom at the beginning of my senior year. My parents/siblings and I got into constant fights about my performance in school (grades). Every class felt like torture, and I wouldn't have cared if someone just walked in and shot me. All the while during lectures/homework/projects I would wonder off into daydreaming about different worlds, acting, making films, and wondering how I could change the world on multiple issues.

Before the start of the next semester, the voice in my head just said "Drop out. It's enough". All this time I had been following what was expected, but for once I said "You know what. I'll listen to you now". I proceeded to pull out of all my classes. That was the end of my old life, and the beginning of the new.

During the down time, after countless battles with my family about my decision to drop out, I was slowly letting go off all the anger, resentment, frustration, etc that had accumulated over the years. This took me about a year, from Dec 09 (when I dropped out) to Dec 10. At the beginning of this year, I decided to begin soul searching. I felt lost, after most of the chaos had cleared, and was looking for answers. Shockingly the universe put me in the right places at the right time. I was reading ideas after ideas, watching videos after videos, and through a series of weird connections, I landed here. Where I read most of what you (ChrisL), and many others wrote.

(Continuation)

Your post practically summed up my life in a nutshell. Ever since I decided to follow the flow that the universe was leading me down to, everything has gotten so much better. Swimming against it only brought chaos and destruction. After all I've learned in the past months, everything has become effortless for me. All those past events that happened were infact one of the best moments in my life. I now realize that I learned so much from them (the depression, constant fighting with family/arguments/not caring for life/etc). They also led me to where I am now. My dream of wanting to act/script write/change the world is now more of something I would like. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, then it doesn't. I would like it to happen, but I am also ready to accept what other outcomes come my way.

I've dropped expectations of things, and I try my best to simply just experience life as it is without thinking too much, so to speak. It's a beautiful feeling because no matter what happens I simply just go along with it.

If you had told me months before that I would be going to NY with only a couple hundred dollars in my pocket, and I would make plans to go to a homeless shelter, I would have laughed and thought about how ridiculous that was. "Why would someone take such a risk?", I would have said. I rejected so many signs the universe gave me to move to NY in the past couple months, but now I know better than to go against that flow, I simply just accept. I've made plans to go to a homeless shelter and get a job to work my way up and start acting, but for all I know when I get to NY something might "mysteriously" pop up out of nowhere that completely overrides my current plans and put me on a "better" plan. The old me would have spent years and years planning out every nook and cranny and making sure everything was "right" before moving. Not realizing that sometimes our current train of thought might not actually be the best way to achieve the outcome we would like.

The universe works in miraculous way. Bringing things to us through multiple possibilities. We just have to be open to more than 1 outcome, and accept things for how they are. I'm glad I realized this. When I realized I had to go to NY, after finally acknowledging the countless signs I had gotten after asking due to denial, I asked "Well how will I do it with the little money I had". It, the voice in my head, replied "Homeless shelter. Everything will be okay. You'll find your way don't worry about it. You just need to leave as soon as possible". The idea of becoming homeless can scare the life out of most people, but what if out of the homelessness you fulfill what you want? What if during that homelessness you learn lessons that can help you in life? What if as you're about to become homeless, something else happens? So many possibilities, and I'm so glad to be in my current mindset cause I would have never been able to do this in the past.


Accepting the past and moving forward, seeing future plans as more of a "what I would like" rather than a want, and simply enjoying everything as it is now. If you want to do something, do it. Don't be scared of failure, and don't put all your hopes into accepting nothing else but success. When you ask the universe for help, it will respond, but remember that it might not be what you want to hear. (I was thinking of getting a job in my current location, making money, moving to NY, get an apartment, and carry on from there. When I heard "No, homelessness. You need to leave soon", I realized that there are multiple ways to achieve things, and the universe knows best. The universe has helped me multiple times, especially in the months prior to it's "homeless" response. I wasn't going to argue with it this time. I had asked for answers to certain things a few weeks prior. It gave me responses I didn't want to hear. I ended up being wrong, and regretting not following it's advise.)

Going with the flow of life, regardless of how "ridiculous" the universe's answer might be to us at that time, imo, has always been the best. It told me to drop out my sophomore year in College, and I refused. Look what happened. It's telling me to go to NY with my current homeless plans...this time I will accept . It will be a wonderful period for me. Every outcome is an experience we can all learn from, and it's easier to simply live out that experience, than to fight it because you didn't get what you liked/wanted, or don't believe you can do it, or believe it has to be done a certain way.

Yeah, I think I've mostly cleared these up, at least that's how I think consciously. So it doesn't make sense if I'm continuing to attract thus experience the same thing as before when I was really wrapped up in those issues and beliefs.

So if that's true, what is it you're attracting/not attracting and how does it make you feel?
I seem to be attracting a tiny fraction of what I am intending. Or maybe for some reason it's just going to take much, much longer than I thought. I have emerged from a protracted period of negativity and pain, so maybe that still has residual effect? I've been in what I think is a good "point of attraction" space for at least the past 6 months. Maybe I need 12?

We can either be specific (i.e. I want a 2012 red Tesla Roadster)
Oh, that would be a nice one to drive! I have experimented with being as specific as possible without insisting on a specific means. I'm doing my best to be clear and honest about what I really desire, trying to get to the essence of things I seek. I'm watching for signs, but I am not seeing anything telling me much.
