Manifest Your Desires

  as your desires.

  110

  There is never a reason for

  you to be without something

  that you desire. Nor is there ever a

  reason for you to experience something

  that you do not desire—for you hold absolute

  control of your experiences. We want

  you to know that you always hold the power

  and control of your own life experience. The

  only reason why you could ever experience

  something other than what you desire is

  because you are giving the majority of

  your attention to something other

  than what you desire.

  111

  The Law of

  Attraction always yields to

  you the essence of the balance of

  your thoughts. No exceptions. You

  get what you think about—whether you

  want it or not. And, in time, and with

  practice, you will come to remember that

  the Law of Attraction is always consistent.

  It never tricks you; it never deceives you;

  it never confuses you, for the Law

  of Attraction responds precisely to

  the vibration that you

  are offering.

  112

  The basis of

  your world is one of Well-

  Being. You can allow it or not,

  but the basis is Well-Being. The Law

  of Attraction says: That which is like

  unto itself, is drawn. And so, the essence

  of whatever you give your attention

  to is unfolding in your experience.

  Therefore, there is nothing that

  you cannot be, do, or have.

  This is Law.

  113

  Consider this

  question: If I am in Phoenix,

  Arizona, and it is my desire to

  be in San Diego, California, how would I

  go about getting to San Diego? The answer

  to this question is easy to hear: No matter

  what your mode of transportation—by air,

  by car, or even on foot—if you will face in

  the direction of San Diego, and continue

  to move in the direction of San Diego,

  then you must reach

  San Diego.

  114

  Once you

  understand the clarity that

  your emotions provide, you will

  never again not know what you are

  doing with your current thought. You

  will always be aware of whether you are, in

  this moment, moving toward or away from

  your intended goal or desire. Your awareness

  of the way you feel will give you the clarity

  you have been seeking. Once you have

  the knowledge that you are moving in

  the direction of your desires, you

  may begin to relax a little bit

  and enjoy your fantastic

  journey.

  115

  You are a perfect yet

  expanding Being, in a perfect yet

  expanding world. Your expansion is a

  given, the expansion of your time-space

  reality is a given, and the expansion of

  this Universe is a given—it is just ever so

  much more satisfying for you to consciously

  and deliberately participate

  in your own expansion.

  116

  If you have the ability

  to imagine it, or even to think

  about it, this Universe has the

  ability and the resources to deliver

  it fully unto you, for this Universe

  is like a well-stocked kitchen with

  every ingredient imaginable

  at your disposal.

  117

  Without the ability

  to know what you do not

  want, you could not know what

  you do want. And so, it is through your

  exposure to life experience that your natural

  preferences are born. In fact, these preferences

  are exuding from you in all moments

  of every day, at many levels of your Being.

  Even the cells of your well-tended-to body are

  having their own experience and are emanating

  their own preferences—and every

  preference is recognized by Source and

  immediately answered, with

  no exceptions.

  118

  This is an

  expanding Universe, and

  all things must be allowed. In

  other words, for you to understand

  and experience what you desire, you

  must understand that which you do

  not desire, for in order to be able to

  choose and focus, both must be

  present and understood.

  119

  Every physical Being on your

  Planet is your partner in

  co-creation, and if you would accept

  that and appreciate the diversity of

  beliefs and desires—all of you would

  have more expansive, satisfying,

  and fulfilling experiences.

  120

  Imagine yourself

  as a chef in an extremely

  well-stocked kitchen that contains

  every imaginable ingredient,

  and as you proceed, there are many

  ingredients that are not appropriate for

  your creation, so you do not utilize them,

  but you also feel no discomfort about their

  existence. You simply utilize the ingredients

  that will enhance your creation—

  and you leave the ingredients that

  are not appropriate for your

  creation out of your pie.

  121

  From your Non-

  Physical perspective, you

  understood that there is room

  enough in this expansive Universe

  for all manner of thought and experience.

  You had every intention of

  being deliberate about your own

  creative control of your own life experience

  and your own creations—but

  you had no intention of trying

  to control the creations

  of others.

  122

  From the variety,

  or contrast, your preferences

  or desires are born. And in the

  moment that your preference begins to

  exist, it begins to draw to itself—through

  the Law of Attraction—the essence of that

  which matches it … and it then begins an

  immediate expansion. This is how the Universe

  expands, and this is why you are on the Leading

  Edge of the expansion. The valuable contrast

  continues to provide the birthing of endless

  new desires, and as each desire is born,

  Source responds to the desire—it is a

  never-ending, always-flowing, pure,

  positive Energy expansion.

  123

  You cannot

  ever get it done because

  you cannot ever cease to be,

  and neither can you ever halt your

  awareness. Yet, out of your awareness

  will always be born another asking,

  and each asking always summons

  another answering. Your Eternal

  nature is one of expansion—and in

  that expansion is the potential

  for unspeakable joy.

  124

  The contrast

  causes a new desire to be

  born within you; the new desire

  radiates from you
, and as you offer the

  vibration of your new desire, that desire is

  answered—every time. When you ask, it is

  given. Now think about the perfection of this

  process: Continuing new ideas for the improvement

  of your experience emanate from you constantly, and

  are answered constantly. Feel the balance and

  perfection of your environment: Every point of

  Consciousness, even the Consciousness of a

  cell in your body, can request an improved

  state of being—and get it.

  125

  Each point of view matters;

  every request is granted; and as this

  amazing Universe unerringly expands,

  there is no end to the Universal resources

  that fulfill these requests. And there is no

  end to the answers to the never-ending

  stream of questions—and, for that

  reason, there is no competition.

  126

  All desires are answered; all

  requests are granted; and no one is

  left unanswered, unloved, or unfulfilled.

  When you stay aligned with your Energy

  Stream, you always win—and somebody

  else does not have to lose for you to

  win—there is always enough.

  127

  If someone is

  not receiving what they are

  asking for, it is not because there

  is a shortage of resources; it can only

  be that the person holding the desire is

  out of alignment with their own request.

  There is no shortage; there is no lack;

  there is no competition for resources—

  there is only the allowing or the

  disallowing of that which you

  are asking for.

  128

  It is extremely

  important that you know

  where you are in relationship

  to where you want to be in order to

  effectively move closer to where you

  want to be. An understanding of both

  where you are and where you want to

  be is essential if you are to make

  any deliberate decisions about

  your journey.

  129

  Often you are

  pulled this way and that

  in an attempt to please another,

  only to discover that no matter how

  hard you try, you cannot consistently

  move in any pleasing direction; and so,

  you not only do not please them, but

  you also do not please yourself. And

  because you are being pulled in so

  many different directions, your path

  to where you want to be usually

  gets lost in the process.

  130

  The greatest gift

  that you could ever give to

  another is your own happiness,

  for when you are in a state of joy or

  happiness or appreciation, you are fully

  connected to the Stream of pure, positive

  Source Energy that is truly who-you-are.

  And when you are in that state of connection,

  anything or anyone that you

  are holding as your object of

  attention benefits from

  your attention.

  131

  Your

  happiness does

  not depend on what

  others do, but only upon your

  own vibrational balance. And the

  happiness of others does not depend

  on you, but only upon their own vibrational

  balance, for the way anyone feels,

  in any moment, is only about their own

  mix of Energies. The way you feel is simply,

  clearly, and always the indicator of

  the vibrational balance between your

  desires and your vibrational offering,

  which, from your vantage

  point, you have

  launched.

  132

  Once you understand

  your own Emotional

  Guidance System, you will never

  again be confused about where you

  are in relationship to where you want to

  be. Also, you will feel, with each thought

  that you offer, whether you are moving

  closer to, or further from, your desired outcome.

  If you are using any other influence

  as your source of guidance, you will get

  lost and go off track, for no others

  understand, as you do, the distance

  between where you are and

  where you want to be.

  133

  When you give

  your attention to something

  that you desire and you

  say yes to it, you are including it in

  your vibration. But when you look at

  something you do not want and you say

  no to it, you are also including it in your

  vibration. When you give no attention to

  it, you do not include it—but you cannot

  exclude anything that you are giving

  your attention to, because your

  attention to it includes it in your

  vibration, every time, without

  exception.

  134

  There is no

  thought that you cannot

  eventually have—just as there is

  no place that you cannot eventually

  reach from wherever you are—but you

  cannot instantly jump to a thought

  that has a vibrational frequency very

  different from the thoughts you

  are usually thinking.

  135

  Decide to reach

  for the best-feeling thought

  that you have access to. A good

  way to feel your way up this

  Vibrational Emotional Scale is to always

  be reaching for the feeling of relief that

  comes when you release a more resistant

  thought and replace it with a more allowing

  thought. The Stream of Well-Being is

  always flowing through you; and the

  more you allow it, the better you

  feel. The more you resist it,

  the worse you feel.

  136

  There is no condition

  so severe that you

  cannot reverse it by choosing

  different thoughts. However, choosing

  different thoughts requires focus

  and practice. If you continue to focus

  as you have been, to think as you have

  been, and to believe as you have

  been, then nothing in your

  experience will change.

  137

  It is not possible

  to stand still, or be stuck,

  because Energy, and therefore,

  life, is always in motion. Things are

  always changing. But the reason it may

  feel to you as if you are stuck is because

  while you are continuing to think the same

  thoughts, things are changing—but they

  are changing to the same thing, over and

  over. If you want things to change to different

  things, you must think different

  thoughts. And that simply requires

  finding unfamiliar ways of

  approaching familiar

  subjects.

  138

  Others cannot

  understand the vibrational

  content of your desires,

  and they cannot understand the

  vibrational content of where you are,

  so they are not in
any way equipped to

  guide you. Even when they have the very

  best of intentions and want your absolute

  Well-Being, they do not know. And

  even though many of them attempt to

  be unselfish, it is never possible for

  them to separate their desire for

  you from their own desire

  for themselves.

  139

  When you

  remember that everyone

  who asks is given, then how

  wonderful and appropriate it is for

  you to make the choices for you—

  for the Universe operates much more

  efficiently without a middleman interceding

  on your behalf. No one else

  knows what is appropriate for you—

  but you do. You always know,

  in the moment, what is

  best for you.

  140

  When you know

  that you want something

  and you notice that you do not

  have it, you assume that there is

  something outside of yourself that is

  keeping it from you, but that is never

  true. The only thing that ever prevents

  your receiving something that

  you desire is that your habit of

  thought is different from

  your desire.

  141

  You were taught

  to face reality before you

  knew you were creating reality.

  Do not face reality unless it is a reality

  you want to create—for any “reality”

  only exists because someone has focused

  it into being…. All those statistics that

  are gathered about your own experiences

  and about others are only about how

  somebody has already flowed

  Energy—they are not about any

  hard-and-fast now reality.

  142

  Even the smallest
