Manifesting your desires - Meditation

Inside my head are whirl of thoughts, or possibly more specifically, “thought-lets”

Small senses I receive either from my environment or from somebody, or somewhere.

They maybe based on a feeling, or they may drive into a feeling.

When I focus on the “thought-let” a fully formed thought is created.

Increased thinking of the thought forms a belief.

The belief affects how I go out into and interpret the world around me, re-enforcing that belief as “true” and “correct”

I then make the ASSUMPTION that those around me share in that belief, when they do I am VALIDATED. When they don’t I am upset and angry.

If GOD’S greatest gift to mankind is the concept of FREE WILL. If I can truly choose which of these ‘thought-lets’ I CHOOSE to focus on and wish I do not. I can choose to focus on those THOUGHT-LETS that are most likely to bring me the things I desire, and NOT simply the things I can’t stand, don’t want or HATE.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear...these words came into my life just prior to meeting the woman who is know my wife, gaining the life I wanted and being happy and fulfilled.

But when I feel I reached my ‘goal’ and I ask..where do I go from here? I get stuck

Where your ATTENTION GOES, ENERGY FLOWS, AND RESULTS SHOW.

If I focus my attention on what I don’t want, on what frustrates me.

If I focus my attention on what others are  “doing to me”, then all I can see, all of the ENERGY that exists is within that attention. Whether or not the person is “doing these things” in objective experience is irrelevant

Let us suppose it is my deepest desire to have a strong connection with my manager/supervisor. One where I can share my thoughts and feelings safely, one where empathy is abundant, one where we work together to solve problems.

But instead I focus on what does not work, how frustrated I feel, how no matter what I try nothing works, how I then conclude, it must NOT be me, it must be the ‘OTHER’, the ‘OTHER’ that is stopping me from gaining what I want.

My focus is no longer on attracting what I WANT, it is about thinking about what I don’t want, which forms beliefs and attitudes which flow entergy into what I don’t want therefore there is MORE OF IT to see, more to VALIDATE.

I could be 100% right, the entire ‘fault’ could be 'the others' persons inability to feel empathy, to move to the ‘spiritual’ enlightenment, but being “RIGHT” in this way does not provide me any happiness, only more validation of my ‘RIGHTNESS’

Setting GOALS is important for many reasons, but perhaps the MOST important is that requires a change of focus from what you DON’T WANT to MANIFEST into what you actually see manifesting.

If the ONLY thing I can control, is my thought’s, specifically WHICH of those THOUGHT-LETS I choose to focus my attention on

So How does Brad be the best Brad he can be?

Some people respond well to philosophical questioning… the examined life

Others may respond better to what they see

When others I care about are troubled, or seem troubled, giving them ‘advice’, or speaking in ways that allow them to ‘question’ maybe very uncomfortable for them, they feel ‘questioned’ and withdrawn

Hmm.. What about the idea of simply expressing my belief as a fact WITHOUT introducing questioning to their beliefs

What about hearing when they express their belief as a fact to ME, instead of focusing on the ‘anger’ of it all “HOW DARE YOU STATE YOUR OPINION AS A FACT”.

What if I simply stated my belief back, not in an angry, antagonizing or contemptuous way. Not in a way that tells them I understand..and then fill in my understanding, but simply as a positive belief about life.

Perhaps even better, is a belief in THEM, my belief in THEM.

Even if the whole ‘manifestng’ thing were complete bullshit. Which attitude is more likely to bring me closer to my desires? -  the one that is focused on the ‘wrongness’ of others and I must ‘help’ and ‘fix’ them. Or the one that is focused on the belief that we are all one, all part of the same whole, and that we provide caring and service, and kindness to those, and thus to ourselves.

Maybe this is what my Dad meant when he spoke of doing things for others being more important. Maybe is is not about doing things at the EXPENSE of ourselves, but at the level of recogition that giving CARING, AND KINDNESS breeds CARING AND KINDNESS back into our lives.

If I want EMPATHY, LOVE, SERVICE flowing into MY LIFE. I can’t possibly get their squeezing out contempt, ‘fix yourself attitude’

And those that send that contempt my way, that ‘fix yourself’ my way. I can CHOOSE to send caring and compassion back.

They cannot hear my words telling them to think differently to manifest their own happiness if as a student they are not yet ready. I cannot teach, but that is okay, I can still set my positive example out onto the world, spreading love and kindness in response.
