Trying t o Go Too Far Too Fast
Most of us are drawn to this teaching in particular because we feel some lack in our life; we are unhappy in
some way. In some cases, we may be coming from a really bad space such as deep depression, emotional
scarring, severe anxiety, traumatic experiences, etc. But then we learn about the LOA, and we feel a
resonance; we feel we have stumbled upon a fundamental truth about reality, a truth that feels really good.
And we go about trying to be ?happy? so we can get what we want. We try to get to a space energetically
that may be really far from where we are now. It?s quite a leap from barely being able to get out of bed
every day to feeling infused with joy every waking moment for no reason at all. It?s a stretch to go from
thinking the world is against you, and feeling victimized at
every turn, to believing you are a powerful creator immune
from the whims, behaviors and actions of anyone else.
Intellectually you may think there is some truth to these
empowering beliefs, but lacking experience in your own life,
they may not become truly your own right away and that?s
okay.
For example, maybe right now you don?t believe anything is
possible, but you are willing to concede that maybe your
limiting beliefs aren?t any sort of ?fact? and are open to
exploring new perspectives. Maybe you don?t quite believe
your dream job is out but you are willing to concede that just
because you haven?t found it through the limited number of channels you have pursued, or that your mind
can?t conceive of where it might exist, doesn?t mean it doesn?t exist. Honor where you are now, and just go
from there. The shifts may be smaller, but they will be genuine, and those genuine shifts will activate all
sorts of possibilities, and you will start seeing changes. And as you gather that ?evidence? maybe there is
something to this teaching, it gets easier to keep releasing what isn?t serving you, and truly buying into
what will. It?ll be easier to stay in a higher vibration regardless of the state of your current reality because
you?re no longer taking this all on ?theory.? You have actual experience in your own life to validate it.
Worrying, Feel ing Bet t er Now, Wil l Cancel Your ?Order?
This is an issue that shows how nutty our mind is, how its
mode of operating can really mess with our manifesting.
The process of manifesting is neutral--the Universe
responds to what we?re putting out there energetically,
wanted or unwanted.
It doesn?t respond to your ?wanting.? It doesn?t respond to
your unhappiness with your current circumstances. It
doesn?t respond to the frustration you feel in the absence
of the specific things you want. It doesn?t respond to the
energies of ?lack? and ?scarcity? It doesn?t respond to the
fear of what may happen if X, Y or Z doesn?t show up.
Trust me when I say there is no downside to detaching
from your desires, or to feeling better now. If the energies
are dominant that lend themselves to money, love, better
health or whatever else it is you have in your sights, these
things must show up. They have no choice. The Universe
knows what we humans want, and there is no reason for
them not to be brought into our environment.
