This was great!
Yes, we are stars made of star stuff, so we are celestial bodies, in a sense. I know we are here on earth and this makes us terrestrial, but the materials here are extra-terrestrial. I love the earth and am an earth sign (Capricorn), yet I feel like this is some sort of petri dish or aquarium we are trapped in, because I feel so connected to universal energy. That’s as good as I can explain it at the moment.
Jesus also brought attention to himself. I read that the existing prophecy calling for a Messiah had him entering Jerusalem on a donkey on a certain Sunday and that is just what he did. Sometimes, this is necessary to get the attention to get your point across and get your message out there, knowing this in people.
People who choose easy lives are lucky. Maybe I should have done that, but at least my struggles and life make me interesting, for what it’s worth.
Oh yeah, I agree that if everyone were living authentically and true to who we are, we would not butt heads with anyone. The problem is, people have problems with people who live this way, and butt heads with them and conflict starts. But why did they follow society and not follow their own goals and dreams? I know it takes guts to do so, it would be great to just do it.
Hi Kat,
Thanks for your comments.
I think you answered your own question of why people don’t follow their own goals and dreams. It takes courage, and many people don’t have that. We’re talking a bit about that in this weekend’s podcast, so that’ll be exciting. 🙂
I’m not really sure if I chose an easy life or a hard life. I think to other people, it looks like a hard life. But it doesn’t feel like it to me. So, who knows? But, I enjoy the life I chose. 🙂 And I think you will get to that point, too, in time. And you’ll be thankful for the experiences you had that brought you to this point.
That was nice, B. Thanks! 🙂
Hi Brandon,
Today resistance to my moving goal was brought up several times. It felt pretty intense and made me feel that by choosing my goal, I’m living in dream world and not reality. I was raised to face reality and focus on what is instead of what I want (opposite of what I’m learning now). When these triggers came up, I just reminded myself of my goal and that that was what I want. It was a little easier to focus on the goal and the power of magic, my mind and will, the gods and the Universe, but I still felt triggered by this evidence contrary to my goal.
When I feel like I’m moving forward, resistance arises and slaps me right in the face. The first time I was triggered today, I then jumped into action, which felt very off but pushed myself to do anyway to resolve the problem. I feel that this was action that was taken too soon, as it led to being triggered around the same goal again in an even bigger way.
The more I meditate and spend more time with my goals, the more I notice deep issues around feeling deserving and worthy arising. Often I feel like: “Who am I to get this thing or have this desirable thing happen to me?” There are also deep worried feelings of: “How am I going to do/get this? How is it going to happen? How am I going to make it happen? How and where am I going to get all the money I need?”
After all of these events, I found a piece of amethyst (that I hadn’t looked at in years) to hold onto. I know it isn’t frequently used for manifesting in the material world, but I did feel a sense of comfort and relief in just holding the amethyst, letting tears flow and feeling feelings of warmth and trust in my heart around my goals. Just sitting and feeling the presence of the divine helped me to let go of the stress and struggle.
On the other hand, I decided to drop my goal around writing the certain number of songs by mid-March and am choosing instead just to spend more time working on my music every day. I am feeling more inspired and less tense, and I’ve had some new ideas come up around what I’m making. I feel like I should have replaced my original goal with a more challenging and rigid one, but my other two goals are already generating enough stress and tension.
I also wanted to add, that more and more I am seeing that the real work is internal. So often I’ve attempted, and still attempt, to fix my situation with action. But these actions, which often feel pretty bad, hard, and gives me an all around bad feeling, don’t end up getting me anywhere and often makes things worse. The internal work is very difficult, even more challenging than fixing things with action. It can be really, really hard and emotionally unnerving to constantly be looking at your resistance and choosing what you want, especially when there’s so much evidence to the contrary.
Hi R,
yes, the inner work is the most important, by far. That’s an important lesson. So many people try to close that gap through action, but that doesn’t work, as you’ve seen. 🙂
Hi R,
I think you’re doing a great job! Really. I know it’s tough but it sounds like you’re doing all the right things, and being led to the solutions you need. I know it doesn’t always feel that way, but it is true.
Feeling undeserving is a very common issue. So let me ask, why shouldn’t you get these things you want? Really take a minute and ask yourself that.
I’m happy to hear about the amethyst. That is my favorite crystal.
By the way,, the crystals class is now available for sign-up. I remember you said you were interested. You can learn about it here.
Thanks Brandon, that’s really encouraging to hear. And thank you for the signup link to Justin’s class. I have been doing everything I can do proceed with the goal manifesting process you’ve written about on here. It is really challenging to make the necessary shifts to achieve my goals, but I feel like I am making more progress with your method than I have in the past by using a more passive approach for big goals. Even though I can’t see very much outer evidence of my goal manifesting yet, I do feel that internal shifts are happening, even if there is still resistance present.
Lately I’ve fallen into the trap of visualizing and journaling certain details of my goals that are more ultimate than next level. So I’ll need to make what I focus on more believable.
Thanks for that question. I feel that it’s because I’ve been told by my parents and other family members, all my life, that I can’t have what I want, it’s not possible, we can’t afford it, it’s not realistic, it’s not going to happen, etc. And then there are less direct societal messages such as I’m not lucky enough, not attractive enough, and just not good enough in many other ways to get what I want. I’ve internalized these messages to feel like I’m not worthy or deserving.
I’ve always felt on a deep level that I can only get the bare minimum of what I want, that I have to scrape by, sacrifice and suffer to get anything remotely close to what I want, or that for some reason (as listed above), it’s just not possible for me. I have always been jealous of people who seem to get what I want so easily, who have all these great things fall into their laps without having to suffer or strain to obtain them. I feel exhausted and burnt out from struggling so much and having to fight so much for a sliver of what I desire.
Yes, and I’ve especially been noticing it since I began focusing consistently. I’m worried about my money goal. I could achieve quite easily it if I asked someone I know for financial help, but that idea still feels pretty bad and quite scary to me right now. I have put so much time and effort into meeting my money goal for this month, but have only manifested a very, very small amount, nowhere near the goal I set. I’m finding it even more difficult to trust now that the month is coming to an end. But all the struggling I’ve been doing hasn’t really helped either.
Hi R,
I’m sorry I didn’t get to this until today. Yesterday was quite busy.
I used to have this belief that I was a bother to everyone. Even for me to ask a professor in college for help, I felt intimidated, and like I was wasting their time. You can imagine how successful I was with dating with that kind of attitude. 😛
Unfortunately it’s not something I just one day decided to overcome. It just sort of healed over time, once I met Christine and we got married. But I’m telling the story because I know how limiting beliefs like this can be, and how hard it can be to overcome them.
You have to have the courage to question these beliefs. What would it be like if you deserved more than the minimum?
Imagine life, but where you were able to receive at least a bit more than just the bare minimum. What would that feel like? Get used to the feeling of it.
One of the greatest things I did for my money vibration is that I started imagining life with greater and greater amounts of money, usually during my journaling sessions. At first, it was uncomfortable. I thought, “What would I do with all this money?” I won’t lie, that’s a real concern. The first time I started having more than enough money, I literally didn’t know what to do with it all.
But when you practice that vibration, you give your subconscious mind a chance to get used to it, and bring up any limiting beliefs that will challenge that new vibration.
So start with that and let me know what happens.
Hi Brandon,
No worries! Actually your response came at just the right time. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your insight. You know, when I woke up today a few thoughts came into my mind: “Maybe I could ask this person for the money. Maybe I could work up the courage to ask. Maybe it wouldn’t be a burden on him to give it to me.”
Once I am done with this month’s financial goal (and the intense emotional stretch that goes along with it), I’ve decided to spend more time on my music goal. That’s an area where I can’t diminish the desire, so I’m just going to pursue a (slightly less stressful) version of my earlier goal. I want to finish at least two songs to send to another artist I know. She is very successful and told me I could send her my work if I wanted to before putting it online.
With a bit more then the bare minimum, I would feel freer, that’s for sure. I would probably be saving a lot more of it. I would also feel less tense around finances and being able to afford things in general. I hate struggling, working in a job I hate or just working really hard on my own only to make a small amount of money. Having a little more than the bare minimum and having it come in a way that involves less struggle for me would be really nice and relieving. A LOT of my energy would be freed from focusing on money to focusing on the things that really matter to me. I’ll let you know more as I sit with this question.
Taking the Magus path can be really challenging and rip you apart of what you’re going for is pretty big for you. Before choosing my goals, I didn’t realize how much they would change me and how much resistance they would bring up. I knew they would be intense, but actually living through them is much more intense than I imagined.
Another important thing I realized is that by worrying and struggling so much for money and other things, I can’t give the best of myself to others. I’m not really helping or benefiting anyone when I’m in a state of stress. When I’m energetically freer, I’m better able to create and also be in a better mood for everyone I come in contact with. As much as the other people around me don’t believe in an easier way of living and tell me all the time how unrealistic I am, how you have to work hard and do things you hate, me struggling and spending so much time doing things that drain me isn’t actually helping any of us.
These are some great realizations, R. Keep sitting with that feeling and allowing it to become normal to you.
Yes this path is difficult, I agree. Or at least, it is at first. But, following any creative pursuit is always a stretch. I don’t remember if I’ve suggested this book to you, but I highly recommend Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz. It’s all about the structural tension of any creative pursuit. He doesn’t like the mystical aspects as much as I do, but he has some wonderful insights that are often passed over in the LOA community. He was a lot of the inspiration for the concepts I teach here.
I will incorporate sitting with feelings of having more than enough, feeling worthy and deserving, and obtaining money more easily into my focusing sessions. I have picked up many beliefs about money and what I deserve that do not serve me. I just feel in my heart that there has to be an easier way, that I don’t deserve to struggle like this. When I see others getting what I want and not having to struggle, I feel envious. I also ask myself though, if they can have these things, then why can’t I?
Thank you for the book recommendation, I will keep it in mind. Yesterday I listened to a support call where you spoke about structural tension. It made me think about how in school, I often didn’t finish assignments until the last minute. I would sometimes stay up all night or wake up very early the next morning to finish big projects on the day they were due. I had a strong drive to create excellent work and to receive a lot of praise my teachers and peers for my efforts. I did this, successfully, many times. These situations occurred way before I knew about the law of attraction. So I really feel that there is something to be had with the Magus path. I feel that this method is something I can apply to the songs I want to finish. Perhaps not the same pattern of waiting until last minute to complete them, but the drive and pressure to create excellent and outstanding work would provide the fuel I need.
The hermit path has worked too, but as you mentioned, it’s a lot slower. It also tends to work best when there isn’t strong attachment to the desire, even if it’s something that’s very desirable.
Hi R,
Yeah I was the same with assignments in school, lol.
I’ve found what has helped me the most in the law of attraction is setting an artificial source of pressure, if that makes sense. Like I’ve said, before I really got my money vibration under control, I was just breaking even every month. I knew that I would always have enough money, but I never had more than enough.
I always had enough, because the pressure of needing that amount of money didn’t let up until the money was generated via the law of attraction.
So, I started creating artificial pressure. I wouldn’t allow that pressure to let up until I not only had enough, but had a particular amount that I decided on above and beyond just breaking even. And, it worked, immediately. My financial situation has turned around ever since then.
That “pressure”, or what Robert Fritz calls structural tension, pulls your reality into alignment with the goal you are holding. But there’s pressure because reality resists this change, mostly due to your subconscious limiting beliefs.
The trick as I’ve discussed is generating that pressure, but not allowing it to overwhelm you. It reminds me of when you’re playing a game, and there’s that pressure to beat the current level, but your life isn’t going to be over if you don’t.
This stuff is hard to describe. Eventually I’ll come up with more precise language to describe all this. 🙂 I feel like this is such uncharted territory, simply because I’ve seen very few people discussing the same things, save Robert Fritz.
Oh also, the Hermit path I see as being useful for current level goals, but not so much next level goals.
I mentioned in a later post the dichotomy between the resistance mode and the release mode. These are direct analogs of the Magus path vs. the Hermit path. If I were writing that post today, I think better words for it would be the creation stage vs. the attraction stage, as I discussed last week, and also in last weekend’s podcast with the Mars and Venus energies. It’s all the same thing.
Thank you for suggesting creating artificial pressure. This is something that I definitely can try with my goals. The issue for me is that I often end up placing so much pressure on myself that I get terribly overwhelmed and filled with anxiety. I’ll need to find the right amount of pressure without it being too stressful.
Just now I thought of making a vision board on my computer. I can look at these images while I journal. I have a feeling that the pictures will intensify my desire, speed up the momentum of my goals, and make them feel more tangible and gripping.
Most LOA teachers talk about letting go, non-attachment, how you don’t want what you think you want and allowing, but those methods haven’t been getting me the results I want. Setting my intention and then just doing what I feel like or what feels exciting (translates to being lethargic and doing nothing) hasn’t gotten me very far. I can’t stop wanting what I want, and my desires are quite specific, so no wonder I haven’t been seeing results by just going general and being open to getting something else. Actually it seems like I was a better manifestor before knowing about the LOA. Many times I used the process of creating structural tension without knowing what it is. Maybe I have a big ego, but I’m sick of trying to be ok with not getting what I want or getting some different version of it. I want what I want, and I’m going to figure out how to get it, even if that creates more resistance.
Hi R,
I’m totally with you there. That’s why I encourage people to totally forget about what they’ve learned about the LOA. Most of it is totally useless. There are a few good sources out there, but you really have to parse it out.
You wouldn’t believe how many clients I talk to who have been trying to use the LOA for years and getting next to no results. Just talked to someone last night who had been following Abraham for 6 or 7 years, but had gotten nothing out of it. That’s frustrating to me, because it shouldn’t be that way.
But yes, make your goal non-negotiable, as I say. You can absolutely achieve it, if you set your mind to it.
I know what you mean about being better at the LOA before you knew about it. But hopefully you can get back to that point now. Just keep creating that tension / pressure, and you’ll get there. 🙂
Great news Brandon! So I asked my dad for some money (it was very uncomfortable for me as we are not close, but I knew he would help me) and he was able to give it to me! Now I’m less than $10 away from my goal. I know for sure that I can reach my goal by the end of the month. Some people may think this may not be a good example of a money manifestation, but even if money comes through asking someone for it, it’s still money.
Congratulations! That is absolutely a manifestation. Don’t discount it at all. After all, he could have said no. Anything that happens in your life is a manifestation. 😀
Just a few minutes ago, I sold something for $15. 🙂 You’re right, he could have said no. I just had a strong feeling that he would help me, and he ended up giving me more than I expected. It was almost déjà vu writing to you about receiving that money. I had written a fake comment to you before receiving it so I could practice how I wanted to feel.
Together with the money I’ve made this month and the money I was given, I have now officially surpassed my money goal! But there are still a few days left in February, and I want to make more, so I’m going to act on what my intuition guides me to do.
The more and more I use your process, the more I see that the only person standing in the way of me and my goals really is me. Another thing I notice is that in the latter stages of achieving a goal, particularly those final days or hours leading to its finish date, laser-like focus on only that goal really helps. I’m feeling the laser focus really kick in around my money goal.
Hi R,
WOW! Congratulations! You’re really getting it. 😀
Yes we are standing in our own ways, until we learn how to stop doing that. 🙂
You’re right about the laser focus. I notice that most of my goal is accomplished towards the end of my deadline for that very reason. It’s like the thing you said earlier about completing the project the morning of or the night before. 🙂
Thanks Brandon! I feel like this money manifestation was a much needed boost to my confidence. 🙂 I’ve decided to increase my money goal for this month and spend the last days of February working hard and intensely on it. In March, I will be giving laser focus to my music goal. And when my music goal is completed, my moving goal.
I am really seeing the benefits of focusing on one single goal when you’re approaching it’s deadline. I really like the approach of focusing on 2-3 goals at a time because it creates the momentum that leads to laser focus on each goal when the deadline is approaching. Laser focus on one goal all the time, to the exclusion of all else, would make for a less enjoyable and probably less healthy life (for me at least). It really seems like there’s a natural ebb and flux to energy and focus. Sometimes that laser-like focus is the necessary boost needed to achieve a goal, but other times a less intense focus is a better approach.
Another good way to increase momentum and focus is to invest money into your goal and make it a sink or swim situation. This can be really, really intense, but it does work.
I absolutely agree, R. I think I talked about the sink-or-swim thing in the support call two weeks ago. It’s the part about acting on faith.
I’ve mentioned before how I’ve just taken that leap of faith before, or even taken some action that would increase the pressure on me. Like I mentioned buying that microphone in January, which was expensive but I knew I had to, and that the money would show up. So, yes we’re thinking along the same lines. 🙂
I agree there’s a natural flow to it, and it’s good you can pick that up intuitively. Now that you’ve had success, it’ll boost your confidence for future manifestations.
Brandon, with regards to an old post about protection. If you set an intention bubble to protect you, how long does it last? Does it fade exponentially over time? Does it have a half life? What happens with that? Also, when someone projects something towards you that is negative, does it bounce back on them?
Thanks
Hi CJ,
The better you are at it, the longer it’ll last. For most accomplished psychics or energy users, they will always have some sort of perpetual shield going.
Generally yes, if negative energy hits your shield, it’ll be reflected back on the sender. You can set a special intention that this is the case, as well.
B,
What you describe above to your answer to R, that is mostly it. Successful people make things happen. They do it, they make it. Well, I can attest to this. So can you.
I think the problem is we get stuck with our emotions and they do not allow us to create what we want. they act mostly as hindrances. I mean, I spoke with people and I remember from my own creations, I was not embarrassed y anything nor did not feel ridiculous or anything like that when creating in the past. Now, with the second level goal, this stuff gets in the way. So, working on relieving this stuff, as I collectively call it, will ease the process so much! Just leaving the baggage behind, so to speak. I mean, I see successful people and they do things all the time for which they should feel shame, but they don’t. They do not allow these things to block their creative process. I think this oversensitivity, though good and a blessing, in this case is more of a burden, to tell you the truth.
Hi Kat,
I’m not entirely sure what you mean about shame. I do agree that the emotions get in the way. I have a post being published tomorrow that will go into more depth about how to deal with that actually.
But in general, it’s the same principles as always. Don’t identify with the emotions. Enter the zero state. Let them go.
Like getting drunk in public, for example. They did not let that deter them in any way from moving on from that and creating something. They let all that go. They don’t dwell on what they did, no matter the ridicule and humiliation.
So yeah, a true creator would move on from that. Someone else would hide away not to be seen and perhaps stagnate instead of just moving on. I’m writing this mostly from myself now because it’s important to keep on going. Not that I got drunk, but not dwell on the past.
Ah yes, agreed. I think the podcast on not identifying with past stories is appropriate for that one. 🙂
I agree though. You just have to move on.
