Manifest destiny

[lycan]

Lycan, to avoid this thread continuing it's circular route, I'm going to ask you a question and I'd like for you to answer it honestly.
Did you come in to this subforum to ask for help or gather information, or to argue or disprove the validity of the concept of manifestation itself?

I came to ask for help and gather information. The key problem I have (I think) is not being able to surrender to the idea of manifestation, being afraid that it will harm me in the exact same sense as your gravity example so I descend into "I have to do something... what can I do? I don't know what to do. I can't figure out how to move forward! I'm stuck! I'm wasting my life... I have to do something... I don't have the resources to follow through on this plan... I can't see a path that I can actually implement from where I am now...". This is because I have not been able to develop complete faith that "the process of manifestation" is "enough", that it is not just magical meaning people assign to coincidences. I want to prove it to myself, not disprove it.

Lycan, something manifestation that so far has been consistently true for myself. Its not easy advice to follow, but its true none the less. Always take a positive tone in trying to manifest. A simple example: money. say you have up to your ears in debt, theres two ways to do it, and one will lead out of debt, and the other, likely further in. first one "I have money" has a positive tone, second one "i have no more debt" negative tone. both will bring about change, and you might have to take some action in one direction or another, but i find the more you manifest, the lest action is needed to get that ball rolling.

i used this idea, and proved it to myself this last year. for a good part of the year, i was struggling really hard, i was really depressed and had a "what else can go wrong" sort of mind set, and well, things got worse continually...I started to realize i was just miserable, so i started trying to be positive and took on a "its going to get better" mind set and things rapidly started changing as i really got into that frame of mind. It wasn't just in how i looked at my life that changed, but my situation as a whole has just been getting better and better, and with very little effort other then changing the way i thought. i'm not out of the woods yet, but in just the last 3 months my world has done a 180 and i've barely lifted a finger to make it happen.
