Since
the release of ‘The Secret’ a couple of years ago, huge
numbers of people have been trying to “manifest their
desires” and “create the life of their dreams”. Still,
for the majority, their efforts yield little satisfactory
result… if any at all.
Of course, we hear about
positive results and even great achievements every now and
then… However, we hear little about the actual alarming
failure rate for the majority of the millions of faithful
practitioners around the globe.
In fact, results seem
very arbitrary… haphazard… not even marking a 50/50 chance
of success… It seems to work in some conditions, but not in
others.So
let me ask you this:
How is that possible if there is supposed to be a ‘natural
law’ at work that we’ve come to call the ‘Law of
Attraction’? If it is a ‘Law’, then failure would be
impossible… right? Is
there something we are missing?
The
prevailing body of knowledge on manifesting teaches you to a
process of congruent thinking, visualizing, acting, and so on.
In that process, you are told to focus on what you want.
In
addition, obviously, focusing on what you want is definitely
much better than focusing on what you do not want.
Nevertheless, judging from the results for most people… the
‘focusing on what you want’ in the way people are
currently doing it does not seem to lead to consistent
manifesting.
So could it be that there is an element
that does not get the emphasis it requires?
Yes there is.
That element is ‘love’… though not the kind of love in
terms of fancying someone. Instead, the kind of love I am
referring to is a‘universal’ kind.
What
is love?From
a ‘universal’ perspective, you can see ‘love’ as the
balance of all… true peace of mind. In ‘real life’
terminology, it could take on forms like:
Acceptance of yourself for who you really are…
Acceptance of others for who they really are…
Freedom to express uniqueness… without seeking to impose anything on anyone else…
Projecting
this at yourself, ‘universal love’ is the freedom for you
to be who you really want to be… the person who you truly
are inside… which is not necessarily what others think you
should be.
Projecting this at others, ‘universal
love’ is the freedom for others to be who they really want
to be… the persons who they truly are inside… not what you
or anyone else think they should be.
‘Universal love’
in that regard is never seeking to impose anything on anyone
(including yourself)… and simply allowing unique creative
energies to manifest themselves naturally… without the
artificially imposed norms colouring the definition of how
that should take place.
This
is exactly what most people forget!
I
mean, let us be honest: What are you trying to manifest in
life?
Your heart’s true desires?
Or the externally imposed symbols that are collectively decreed to be the essentials of ‘success’?
People
get into ‘manifesting their desires’ because they want to
live the life of their dreams… But let me ask you
this:
What
is the ‘life of your dreams’ anyway? Is it living
the artificial image of what others think you should be?
Of
course not: It’s the life of being whom you truly are
inside, and the happiness and abundance in any area that come
with living that image!
This
is the main reason for a lack of results:
You
already know at the deepest level of your being what you
desire. Therefore, there is no need to put any additional
focus on it. You are automatically doing that, once you
reconnect to the core of which you really are… love yourself
for being that, and think, feel and act from that
place!
However,
most people get interested in ‘manifesting their desires’
because of the opportunities they see for effortless personal
material gain and selfish interests.
Now do not get me
wrong, because there is nothing inherently wrong with material
wealth…
However, it becomes a problem once you see
material gain as the very thing that’s supposed to testify
of your alleged ‘success’ in your desire for the
confirmation of other people that you’re okay.
This
desire for other people’s approval inherently implies that
you subconsciously think you are not okay, which means that
you lack self-love. And so that will be the state of mind
you’re resonating to, which in turn will ‘manifest’ and
‘mirror’ itself in your life.
Clearly,
it would appear that you are ‘attracting’ or ‘manifesting’
the opposite of what you really want… which explains why so
many people see the results of their manifesting efforts as
failure.
So do you think that your efforts in
practicing the principles manifestation will work for you if
you don’t even allow yourself to live your life the way you
really want to live it deep down inside?
It does not.
The missing element is ‘love’. Love is not a feeling or
emotion. It is the essence of who you are. That is what’s
love has to do with it.
