There are four main or typical ways you may
practice that block your fulfilling manifestation and life experience. Learn
what they are and what to do about them.
BLOCK
1: The first block is not asking for what you want at the start, or if
you do ask, not asking in the correct way. In life, you usually have to ask for
what you want, as you would at a restaurant, which means you have to know what
you truly want. You don’t say, “Bring me seafood,” you state which dish you
wish to enjoy. When it comes to the metaphysical approach, many spiritual
disciplines provide versions of “Ask and you will receive,” but there is more
to this, as you’ve probably discovered, and which I’ll explain.
We get that we need to ask when it comes to
manifestation; but what usually happens is we think about what we want or need
then jump into making a plan and or take immediate action, often because others
expect us to or told us this is the way to act, or to appease our ego aspect,
which more commonly waits to think about manifestation when desperate, rather
than grasp that we’re manifesting already, all
the time. We rush around, exhaust ourselves physically, mentally, and
emotionally (and even spiritually), and feel frustrated about minimal results,
or the absence of any results. Thinking something that needs a solution or
resolution “to death” or worrying about it is NOT asking.
An old adage says, “Sharpen the ax before you go
to the tree.” Ask in the right way first. Example: “I am truly thankful for all
that fulfills me and is fulfilled for me. If (insert your request) is in my
highest good and the highest good of all involved, I ask this to be fulfilled,
and I trust that it will be. While I wait to receive results or guidance about
this, I choose to feel happy and serene now, and appreciative of this now
moment and what I already have and have received, rather than wait to feel
happy or serene or appreciative if or when I receive this or something even
better.” You can shorten this and use your own words, but I want you to get the
premise.
I know that many action-driven people might
disagree, at first blush, with the above paragraphs. They (and we) have been
taught that strategies and systems and actions are what responsible and
successful people use and do, but we’re seldom taught how vital it is that we
strengthen and trust our relationships with our Infinite Self and Source above all. Yet, these relationships are
what are needed as our foundation under any idea or action. They are where real
inner power comes from, and where highest-good fulfillments get put into motion
in our lives. Too often, much too often, we attempt to do everything on our
own, without the assistance of our Infinite Self and Source. I’m not saying you
aren’t to take action, I’m saying align your Inner Energy before you take
action, so that your action is Source- and Life-Energy-driven (inspired), not
fear-based ego-driven.
BLOCK
2: Strife. Notice that the words happy, serene, and appreciative were
included in the request shared above. Strife is a big problem when it comes to
manifestation and life experience because the vibration or energy of fulfillment,
the vibration or energy that allows and supports fulfillment, is calm and
trusting. There’s no way around this. Judging anyone, anything, and ourselves
is strife. Anxiety is strife. Anger is strife. Stressing is strife. Anything
not supportive or serene, anything not a positive vibration, is strife.
We often call what we do “striving to succeed” or,
perhaps even, to survive; but we’re really “strifing,” which will never result
in the full success or fulfillment we desire. Strife blocks requested manifestation
and life experience fulfillment, and creates more of what you don’t want,
because what you don’t want is what you match your vibration to, so that’s what
gets matched as your experience. If your ego wants to disagree with this, just
consider your typical or consistent experiences and results. You can ask and
ask (or plead or demand), but as long as strife instead of calm and trust is
present, the energy of strife will push away the very results, resources, or relationships
you wish to have in your life.
By the way, serenity doesn’t mean you’re so mellow
you can’t function; it means your actions or non-actions, your words, your
thoughts, and feelings are centered and fueled via your connection with your
Infinite Self and Source, instead of spiking out and poking people’s eyes out,
energetically speaking, that is. This is the Catch-22 it’s so easy for all of
us to find ourselves engaged in. Fulfillment is way more about, first, Being
than Doing. Be the vibration then
take inspired, rather than desperate, action.
BLOCK
3: The third biggest block is doubt. Make your requests to Source and
approach life free of doubt and self-doubt, that is, free of any doubts about
your self-worth and what you deserve. Source supplies freely. Source doesn’t
supply you or anyone based on what’s deserved, but will honor (match) what you believe about this. Doubts of any kind
come from the ego that’s been affected by limiting beliefs, and are contrary to
the truth of Source, your Infinite Self, and how Source set up the Creative
Energy to work for and with you. Doubt and Trust cannot occupy the same space
at the same time; and the one you FEEL more profoundly, is the one that gets
matched.
Some manifestations are instant because everything
is set up and ready to go, as soon as you ask and allow it, that is, have no
resistance thoughts blocking it coming to you. Other requested manifestations
are not in your highest good, or perhaps not in the highest good of all
involved, so never happen, or if they happen, they don’t work out but are an
opportunity for you to learn something. And some requests require a bit of time
because more than just you is involved. While you wait, occupy yourself and
your mind with positive and productive thoughts and inspired actions, and
remain in a state of calm and trust. Do what you need to, to maintain serenity,
happiness, and especially appreciation, each of which is a positive attracting
or magnetic energy for what you ask for or something better. Do this despite
what appearances are. Remind yourself of how you felt when something or
something even better manifested for you before.
The more strife and doubt you stop practicing the more serene you’ll be. Obvious, but we miss it
more often than we see it. To do this requires dedication to develop your
strife-free, doubt-free inner power, and to practice this daily, so that you
shift further and further away from ego’s insecurities that cause you to engage
strife and doubt. If life or particular life areas don’t seem to be working out
for you, it’s likely you’re allowing strife and doubt to clutch you in their
grasp instead of you holding serenity and trust at your core. And maybe you’re
practicing Block 4.
BLOCK
4: This one relates to the Jump program in the first “Matrix” movie,
when Neo watches Morpheus leap the distance between two buildings, to
demonstrate what’s possible. Morpheus tells Neo what’s needed to accomplish
this: Free your mind. This is our
hurdle, as well, when it comes to manifestation AND living in flow from the
inside-out. We have to cross the hurdle of subconscious beliefs so entrenched in
us that we don’t even realize how consistently we practice them.
This is why affirmations, made through the
conscious mind, can have something of a “Fake it till you make it”
thwart-factor for us. They don’t work or work as expected, because we can’t
fake out our subconscious beliefs, which are the beliefs that drive our “bus”. Affirmations
do work when we disassociate from a subconscious belief (I can’t leap like
Morpheus) and embrace possibilities (He’s shown me what’s possible, what I’m
capable of. If it’s in my highest good, I now allow it or something better to
be so.). The leap can’t happen in our experience until it first happens in our
mind.
This means we have to pay attention to our consistent
thoughts. More specifically, to the QUALITY of ALL of our thoughts, so we get a
sense of whether our subconscious is operating as a glass half empty or half
full kind of belief system, whether that’s about abundance or lack, or
acceptance or judgment, in all the various forms each appear as in our life. We
have to observe how we think, that is, how we choose our thoughts deliberately
or how we let them run amok. This all boils down to one important question: How much appreciation do you feel and choose
to feel during the course of each day? Or, are the majority of your
thoughts on a negative loop so familiar to you that you don’t even realize the
tape is playing about any- and everything? This is major in its significance,
and merits attention.
From Abraham-Hicks: You're always
getting a perfect vibrational match to what you predominantly give your
attention to. But you've got to make the best of it. You've got to vibrate
slightly different from where you are if you are going to improve where you are.
You can't keep taking score of where your business is or your relationship is
or your body is without continuing to create it as it is. To make improvement,
you've got to reach for a different thought.
Begin to practice looking at your blocked life
areas to reveal whatever strife or doubt you may be engaging in. Ask for what
you want, in the right way. Explore the thoughts that arise from your
subconscious mind, or the tape loop that’s playing. It is your choice to either
wear yourself out while you try to do everything yourself, and attempt this
from a negative subconscious belief set, or to take the leap of belief and follow
your path with Source as your companion, a path that leads to more effortless
manifestation for your good and the highest good of all involved, as well as
greater serenity, fulfillment, and joy. It’s a good practice, one you’ll
appreciate.
Practice makes progress.
