Abundance Snags

25. June 2006

So you want romance, a new job, more money etc. and you feel you are practicing the power of deliberate intention but even so you often feel thwarted and see few positive result? Why is this?

My experience indicates a small snag that is rarely noted:

The first thing that happens when you seek to manifest change is that you meet all the aspects of your psyche actively keeping that change from manifesting.

Take the example of seeking a new romance for instance. Suppose you’ve dreamt of exactly how she/he will be and how your life/lives will be lightened and enriched by this new relationship; this dreaming has filled you with joy, hope and feelings of well being. In those happy moments you were certain of meeting the love of your life soon. However minutes, hours, days, weeks, months pass and doubts slip in.

You may find yourself romanticising about some other lost love and feel the pain of its ending. This might indicate unresolved attachments and feelings of loss that maintain a subconscious desire to remain “safe” and unattached.

Perhaps you meet someone wonderful who is already blissfully happy with someone else and start fantasizing about them. This might suggest hidden unresolved fears around commitment. Generally what we want most is also what we are deeply afraid we cannot have and those fears consequently hold what we want out of our current experience.

If we want to be financially rich but have a sneaking suspicion that wealth corrupts etc. then is it any wonder that we are not wealthy? The task is to become conscious of how we are blocking our flow of creative well being from manifesting our desires. This is what life is about, learning to create, and hence we may have many relationships and jobs etc. as we learn to create ever more fulfilling lives through more enlightened conscious choices and experimentation.

What is to be done about all this? Get curious, I suggest, look for clues as to where and when you are self sabotaging and make split second changes to your thought processes that evoke feelings of greater well being in that very moment. Be your own caring witness without judgement, enjoy the dance of your inner conflict and then write a new thought script more to your pleasing. Watch gratefully at the wonder of your unfolding, be at peace and know that all is well do not be fooled by outward appearances…

And when you find yourself mired in a pit of hopelessness and despair own it, admit it, share it, you feel crap. That is OK, one of the swiftest ways of shifting a bad mood is to actually admit your are in one.
