Helllo,

Is this an appropriate place to share my current and ongoing attempts to consciously create my life?

I am new to this forum and I haven't introduced myself in the Introductions section - perhaps I will later - I'm more a plunge in first sort of person.

I arrived here by this route: I got involved on the Scared Monkeys forum with people interested in Natalee Holloway's disappearance. I got into thoroughly enjoying the livliness of being part of that forum - getting to know other posters and many, many threads that I could go to if I ever got bored; I could always find somebody saying something of interest.

But the Holloway case is losing steam at the moment and my interest has waned.

And there are other things in my life that I need to give attention to.

I continuously wish that I had a community to whom I could turn to help me to get myself motivated for all the things that I am avoiding in my life.

I have studied many, many systems and topics from mystical traditions. My favorites at the moment are Abraham and Byron Katie. These two, strangely enough, offer what seems almost opposite viewpoints. Abraham is all about deliberate creation. And Byron Katie is all about loving everything exactly as it is. And both attract me enormously.

So - what I do is that I study and then I avoid. So much of my time is spent lamenting over what I should be doing that I am not doing or trying to force, or cajole, or trick, or inspire myself to do that which I need to do.

I live alone with neither husband nor children to interfere with me and myself. And I don't have those to push me either or help structure my life.

This forum called "Manifestation" at the moment seems to be more full of people talking about general ways to manifest rather than personal stories of trying to manifest and the results. I'd like to use it to share my own manifesting journey. Is that appropriate here?

I'm also aware as I think about sharing this that I will probably be somewhat circumspect about the actual details of what I am working on - as I sort of paranoid of having such personal stuff publicly available. I'd rather that it not be linked to me. But being circumspect also cuts down on how effective my sharing of my attempts at manifestation are!

Anyway - my top priorities, as they have been now for a while are:

getting in shape (this means feeling great most of the time, fit strong, flexible; eating well, the right size for my height)

having adequate monthly income to cover monthly expenses and pay off debts

And, I just want to mention that, in my life, I have had some successes at manifesting - mainly in moving into a career, in buying a house, and in learning about consciousness (and becoming more conscious), in getting an advanced degree, in increasing my income. I'm just needing to get finances in shape again.

Thanks for listening!

So what are doing to create this manifestation.

As they say can't win the lotto if you don't buy a ticket.

Also if you don't know what you aren't doing to create the manifestation, one key phrase I find helpful is to ask "Please create the oppotunity for me to....."

Or something like "Please create someone in my life to help me......" and be ready for it to be created in an interesting way.

Also I've got a formula on this forum that some people have found helpful...its simple, but it may help a bit in manifesting.

Good luck with it.

I'd love to be able to help you on this one, but my life is such chaos I'm actually going to be following this area to see how and whether you and others actually do succeed in what you plan for.
Technically, I've been able to direct many business matters, as you have, like buying a house and getting a degree (though that took a few tries), but on the pleasure side, mainly involving people, you are dealing with free will.
Therefore you aren't going to manifest much when what you want relies on a particular individual as you can't affect their will (unless you are interfering with their lives, which I know you are not referring to). You can give an open invitation to bring the right people in, but that hasn't really worked for me by the results I've had.

But this place and many like it is for sharing, I love to read other people's stories and share my own. You seem to have a pretty clear idea of what you want, and I'll be fascinated to see how you get on. Very Happy

some success this week. I'm pleased. and I'm doing it by turning my mind to the subject of what I want. I've been listening to Abraham tapes. (you get what you think about; whatever you are feeling you get more of it).

I've been doing some new meditations (out of a Jon Peniel book). The meditations are greatly working to keep me more conscious of what I am thinking about. So I've been setting goals. Since I last wrote, I've stopped my happy hour glass of wine (which decreased productivity in the evening and the next day, as well as decreasing mental accuity); I've stopped sugar and began aiming at returning to a diet that I like, made a new list of things to do daily - that I have been following. And continued lifting weights every other day. Part of the new meditations include affirmations for being Unselfishly Loving - and putting in my own affirmations, which fits in very well with the Abraham tapes.

So generally, I am feeling much better, more hopeful.

I'm also actively setting goals and aiming at prioritizing. and whereever I am stuck, I step back and make an affirmation (or an intention) such as "I am clear about my priorities."

So, since I first posted above in this topic 10 days ago - I've actually made great strides towards the first goal that I wrote about - the getting in shape one.

I also went to a Byron Katie inquiry circle this week - and that was very helpful as always at reminding me how good being present feels! I use Byron Katie's questions often.

So, one of my first steps that I take towards manifesting is to turn my attention to the thing that I want to manifest.

Thanks for your ears!!! I think it helps a LOT to be able to share this!

Zygos, I like your phrases "Please create an opportunity for me to ... and Please create someone in my life to help me..." Those are both good ways to step back. I plan to remember them.

Satguru, I too have had uneven success in bringing the relationships I want into my life. But I've also had some successes too. And I'm much much better at remaining peaceful no matter what other people choose to do who are in relationship to me.

This may sound stupid, but I never believed I had any power to manifest even the simplest things in my life. It wasn't until(5 yrs now) I began realizing that simply setting goals for myself and fully "knowing" that whatever I need will be manifested because I knew it was possible. Even to those I read for, sometimes they have a hard time believing me when I give them spells and baths to do that they will in fact work as long as the belief is there. Don't get me wrong my method may not make sense to some but in my little insane LOL world it does. I read for my cousin's gf one day and she needed help badly. He didn't actually need to tell me this I could see it on her face. Anyway one night he brought her over and I read for her long story short I made her a bath and gave her two different candles one for an apartment and the other for a job. I also told her not to speak to anyone about this until after all that she wanted she got. All I said after that was, everything you want will be yours if you believe it enough. So she did as I told her to and in one week she found an apartment. The week after she found a job. This was maybe a year ago and till this day she still thanks me for what "she" thinks I helped her accomplish. Be Blessed Kat

Hi alleyes,
Wow, I hear you on so many of your goals! I'm really happy you've posted your goals and progress here. I love reading about what other people are working on and how it's going.

At the moment, I've been wondering about specific goalsetting vs. being open to what the universe provides. Have you heard of any teachings that explain how to embrace both? I don't want to be concentrating so hard on getting a quarter that I fail to see the dollar the universe has put at my feet, so to speak.

I also see you have multiple goals. I find that it's difficult for me to concentrate on multiple things. If I'm working on my fitness, it seems to take so much mental energy that my work pursuits sit on the back burner, and vice versa. It would be nice to say, "OK, you've had your hour today and now I have 23 more to devote to something else."
