We don’t truly realize that our thoughts become what manifests in our life, for two reasons.
First, because it’s not only our thoughts that matter, it’s also, and mainly, the feelings that arise from our thoughts. Thoughts, without the feelings that give them life, don’t have power.
Secondly, since there is a time-lag between what we think and what appears, we don’t correlate the two.
Thoughts create feelings, and it’s feelings that have a creative impulse. Conscious thoughts must be backed by similar feelings to create a strong vibration that has a chance of manifesting. When your feelings contradict your conscious thought, the Universe, being a vibration, will always match your vibration. We are not always aware of what our vibration is; we are mostly aware of our thoughts and our words.
When you say “I want more money” your feeling is: I don’t have enough money.
When you say “I want to be healthy” your feeling is: I am not healthy.
You really need to know what you deeply want, and then, align your thoughts and feelings with that, feeling like you have health, or money. Then what manifests is a vibrational match to what you think and feel.
This is not easy to achieve when your identification is with your body; you have to shift that identification to the Source of your being, where there is abundance of everything and perfect health, in order to feel abundant and healthy. Just thinking and saying you want health is not enough. Would a person who is healthy ever have the thought: “I want to be healthy!”?
The time-lag which prevents us from actually seeing how we have manifested all the unwanted things in our experience is also a blessing in disguise, because have you ever thought what it would be like if your every thought immediately manifested?
When you see the picture of an adorable puppy and you and wish for it with all your heart, then it immediately appears on your doorstep? Now you’re responsible for feeding it, training it, taking it for walks, brushing it, cleaning up the mess it makes – and then, what do you do with it when you go on holiday? Go to work every day? Can’t take it with you, can’t leave it alone for hours on end – it becomes a real problem!
Or you’re on holiday and see an expensive yacht out on the ocean; a longing arises for a yacht where you would spend weekends drinking cocktails and having a good time with friends – and when you get back home the yacht would be sitting in your driveway?
Not all of our desires and wishes we really, really want, and so the Universe has created this time and space reality to make us conscious of the necessity of being aware and keeping our focus consistently on what we want manifested, as well as having to use all our faculties of thinking, feeling and doing in order to get what we want.
It requires us to first, consider all the aspects of our vision or desire, then emotionally live as if we had it, and start being the person we would be, if we had it. Then it starts to become real, mentally and emotionally, and if we add to that the doing part, actually taking physical actions towards making our desire or vision a reality, then our dream will manifest – for sure!
Just one caveat: Unless we cancel it by some thought that might sound like: “Why isn’t it here yet? When is it going to come? I’ve been wanting it for months (or years!) and I give up! It’s never going to work!” Then you have effectively canceled your desire, and have to start the process of energetically having it all over again.
