MANIFESTING AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
Because of social media, many think that manifesting and the law of attraction means you make a wish, and it will appear. Not so. Like all things magical and spiritual, it takes time and effort to do it correctly.
What does it take to be able to manifest and work the law of attraction? The answer is the most dreaded answer of all! TO KNOW YOURSELF FIRST! This answer is like a knife in the gut to most. I know, I suck! But that is the bottom-line truth of it. And about now, most of you are either cringing, saying I know myself, or discounting the importance and depth of what I mean by knowing yourself. And it raises the question of how knowing yourself relates to manifesting?
When it comes to manifesting, you have the most success when you know what your focusing habits are like. Things like are you ADD? Can you focus well? Do you meditate regularly with success? Are you prone to impulsive thinking? These questions matter because you will need to develop focusing skills that include these things. Without knowing these parts of how you naturally operate, your manifesting will be hit or miss and may leave you with the impression manifesting does not work.
For effective manifesting, you also need to truly believe that thoughts are things and have great power in the universe. Any poverty complex you may have can stand in your way as well. So, you see there is much behind the curtain of manifesting and the law of attraction that is not typically discussed.
I imagine many have quit reading by now and are thinking there must be an easier, quicker way, and are off to find it. Best wishes to you. I and others have found if it comes too quickly it is not usually the right thing for you even tho you think it is, and it usually falls short, causes problems, or simply does not last. I know this because I was the person looking for a quicker fix at one time. Now I am like the queen of manifesting. My husband says, “All you have to do is mention it to Cat and it shows up a week later.” And I know many others who are masters at manifesting, too. Manifesting is a craft to be practiced and mastered much like Witchcraft is. And when done that way, manifesting becomes part of your magic and Witchcraft that takes little effort after a while.
Manifesting is the practice of using the Law of Attraction to produce a desired result.
Desired results are brought by knowing the Law of Attraction very well and having a working relationship with it, so let me define it. “The Law of Attraction is the Electromatic sensitivity field that surrounds each atom that is compatible with, or disturbed by, other atoms electromatic sensitivity field. Then atoms that are compatible collect together repeatedly until matter that we can perceive is formed. Yes! There is actual science to it! This science is one of the secrets of the alchemists of old. And this science is how thoughts are things. Thoughts are a tool to be used in manifesting.
This explains how you can draw to yourself experiences, and physical things. The drawing of things to you is the result of the nature of atoms that emanate from mental activity.
From the Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary by June Bletzer Ph.D.
“Sensitivity field” means the energy fields all around us. “Other atoms’ sensitivity field” means other energies. “Atoms of compatibility that collect together” means that atoms that are similar to each other are attracted to each other. “Atoms that emanate from mental activity” means the energy/atoms our thoughts create and then go forth into the larger energy field of the universe. This leads us to the fact that thoughts are things that have power. It is not just a saying with no proof; there are scientific and universal laws that sustain it. The law of attraction is just one of the many universal laws. Magic and spirituality are about working with the laws of nature, and the universe, and they are all energy.
Thoughts are things that create results. What does that mean exactly? It means most of our thoughts have some type of impact on the physical world. And unless you truly believe that with all your being, manifesting and the law of attraction will not work well for you. Now, does that mean you have to carefully monitor every thought in your head? No! It means when applied with your will power and focus, thoughts will emanate with direction and energy.
Here is how it works, what you think becomes what you believe, what you believe becomes what you say, what you say becomes how you act. This has been proven in psychology. Why is it important in spirituality and magic? Well, if you say words, you do not believe, then they have no power to become physical, i.e. manifest. This means any ritual, spell, or other magic you do will not work if you do not believe in it fully. Which only reinforces to some folks that magic doesn’t work, not realizing the reason it did not work is because of their lack of belief in the words and practices they are trying to use.
That said, magic, spirituality and manifesting are not something one can do like following a no-fail pie crust recipe that works as long as you follow the directions. They are something that must come from deep within, powered by your belief and connection to what you are doing, and your relationship with the forces of nature and the universe.
For manifesting, you need to be very clear on the distinction between what you think you want and what is actually right for you. Otherwise, you end up with stuff that really does not work for you. A belief that the universe will provide what you have requested because the universe provides us is also needed; yes, faith and belief are needed.
Let’s say you want more friends and decide to manifest them but end up with friends you would rather not have. This happens because you were not clear about what you wanted or what is actually right for you.
My journey is an example of that. My life was a mess and all I knew at that point is I wanted it to be different, so that is what I asked for. I ended up alone in a new place with no friends because the universe replied to my vague and basic request. My next request was for friends. Again, I was not specific enough, and ended up with people around me, but were more trouble than they were worth. The universe replied in its own way because that is how the universe works. Once I asked for friends of a like-mind however, is when I was able to attract the right type of people to my life.
You might be wondering how do you ask the universe for something? Well, as in all things we all have our own ways and while no one answer works for everyone, there are some consistencies to it. First, you must be clear and earnest in your request and fully believe the universe will provide. Next is effort; nothing truly just falls into your lap out of thin air. You have to be open to receiving your desire however it comes. For my request of friends of a like mind, I had to ask where would I find them? Because the universe had already provided them, I had to do my part in connecting with them, and oddly enough they came through Craigslist.
It is the same with material items and money as well. You in your way put out to the “Universe this is what I desire in my life” believe it has been provided and then do your part to discover it. How do we know it is what the universe provided? If it is the right thing it will come in an unexpected way, doors will open, or it will suddenly be on sale way below cost, but you have to be looking at the ads to see it. You also have to keep it in the back of your mind during the course of the day.
This is where seeing the signs of the universe come into play otherwise known as synchronicity. Two seemingly unrelated and random things that then come together to have some meaning.
One example is my husband wanting a futon. Normally they are 400.00 or more, which is not in our budget. I put it out to the universe and when I could I looked in the usual places for one in our range but not obsessively so. It’s like holding a wet bar of soap; you hold it gently, loosely not tightly because it will slip away.
About a month later I had a ton of things to do in town. It was a day of one thing right after the other, a futon was the furthest thing from my mind that day. Yet in the middle of it when I really did not have time, my intuition nagged me to go to the Restore store. I even argued with that saying I did not have time! Yet it persisted so I went. As I walked in the door there was the perfect futon for only 50.00! Not only was the futon there, but a friend of mine was also available to help me move it. It all just came together!
It is in this way that when we listen to the signs, the universe tells us where we may find what we desire. Many call it intuition or being in touch with the higher self, call it what you will it is still signs from the universe that is the other half of manifesting and the law of attraction. What is happening when we are near the object of our desire, is the like atoms we have been sending out are resonating with the like atoms of the object and it triggers our intuition. If we do not pay attention to it, we miss what the universe has sent us. This is how the forces of nature work not only within us but around us.
Working with manifesting, the law of attraction (in its real form), synchronicity, the universe and ourselves in this manner are but only a few of the many ways we can truly work with the real mysteries of magic.
