A
Reader asks a Question:
The concept of Conscious Creation is now a well-accepted
buzzword in a
variety of metaphysical circles; however, despite the proliferation of
this
material, it seems many are still unable to achieve the success they
would
like to use these principles. Why is this so, and is there a missing
component that is largely being overlooked? What is the most important
factor in Conscious Creation?
Answer channelled from Omni-Emmanuel:
The main missing ingredient is focus and consistency of effort. In your
modern lives, you are constantly surrounded by many, many choices.
Choices
about what to eat, where to eat, what to wear, how to wear it, different
career and job opportunities, many, many different ways of expressing
yourselves and filling your lives than in earlier periods of human
history.
Your abundance of choice leads many of you to be distracted by other
possibilities, therefore lessening the amount of focussed energy being
placed on the things that you say that you want. This is one of the
reasons. Another reason is that for the most part, you simply allow life
to
happen to you. You turn on your radios and TV's, you listen to the news,
you react to it in one way or another and you go about your day. Very
few
of you start your day with any other purpose in mind than 'go to work',
'take children to school', 'pick up laundry', 'go running', 'pay my
bills'.
In addition to these general 'to do' lists that you have, you simply go
about your day allowing life and the day to happen to you. However, each
part of your life is a result of thought. If you think you have a
hectic,
unstable, disorganised life - take a look at your thoughts.
The most important aspect of learning to manifest is focus. What many do
who first learn of their inherent ability to attract to themselves what
they are wanting through thought, is to instantly think of the biggest,
best, largest, most courageous dream or thing they could imagine, they
instantly say " I want a large sum of money" or "I want
to become a movie
star" or "I want that luxurious home in the mountains".
For those of you
who are unaccustomed to focussing your thoughts, these items will
present
great challenges. It is not that they are difficult, for it takes
exactly
the same amount of focus and decision to manifest a thimble as it does a
castle. The difference in the manifesting of the thimble and the castle,
are the beliefs you have about having and owning such things. So many of
you are burdened with feelings of lack of self worth, the conflicts that
arise out of manifesting your largest dreams, sabotage the manifestation
of
them in the initial stages. When you think of such grand things, such
grand
dreams, most of you immediately begin an inner dialogue in which you
tell
yourself of all the reasons why you may not have the thing you have
dreamt
of. You cite examples, you remember all the other 'failures' from the
past,
the 'failures' of friends and perhaps even try to convince yourself that
the higher path, or the spiritual path, is to go without and to learn
how
to be satisfied with what you have. Although we would agree that being
satisfied with where you are is a beneficial quality to develop, but
satisfaction is not the same as stagnation!
It is not that we are offering to you that you should not think big,
that
is the last idea we would want you to gain from our answer. However,
what
we are saying is, you need to practice deliberate creation, and we
suggest
that you start this with the creation of your day. As we have already
said,
for the most part, you simply allow your day to happen to you. In order
to
prepare yourself for creating your life's dream, start with creating a
day,
and do it consciously. For example, as you awaken each morning you can
say
to yourself "today I wish to learn more about what I love and more
about
what excites me" or "today I wish to discover more of my
talents". The list
of possibilities is endless. Note this, the MOMENT that you make this
statement; you have launched a new creation. As you say these words and
INTEND to experience 'more of what you love', your soul then sets about
brining you those opportunities. As you shift your focus on life away
from
being reactive beings, in other words, simply responding to what occurs
in
a day, and you become a creative being, setting forth your intention for
the day, you ability and confidence increases.
You may want to increase abundance in your life, as you make the
statement
as you awaken "today I wish to experience more abundance",
your perspective
will begin to shift. As it shifts, you will first see the abundance that
has always been there, as this happens, your focus shifts onto the
positive
side of having, instead of being focused on lack. As your focus shifts
on
having, you invite more abundance to come into your life, you start
manifesting new things. The first stage of all manifesting is to shift
your
perspective so that you can see that the thing you want is already
there,
perhaps in a different form, but the essence already exists. For
example,
for many of you, money represents freedom. As you shift your focus, you
will see more aspects of the freedom already present in your life. You
will
begin to see other riches, abundance in the form of love, friendship and
other gifts.
Successful manifesting takes two ingredients, focus and self worth. It
is
also important to remember that in your world of opposites, each subject
has two sides, giving each thing you want to manifest a lack side. In
other
words, there is money, and the lack of it, there is success and failure,
there is health and there is a lack of health. What we observe, is that
the
majority of you are focused a great deal of your time upon the lack side
of
every important subject in your life. You remember the criticism of one,
but you forget the praise of one hundred. We give you this promise, if
you
can focus on what you want, and hold that focus intensely over a period
of
21 days, reviewing and updating you vision each 7 days, you will be well
on
your way to creating what you want, it will be yours! Remember, the key
is
to hold your focus!
What stops you from holding this focus are a couple of things. Firstly,
there is the fear of disappointment, the thought that perhaps holding
all
this desire and focus may just simply lead to a greater sense of
disappointment than before. When this comes up, most simply stop wanting
the thing they say that they want to have. The other great saboteur of
conscious creation is allowing your mind to wander off into all the
'logical' reasons why you can't have what you want. You start saying to
yourself: I am too old, too fat, too uneducated, too young, not talented
enough etc, etc. You then begin to shift your focus onto the not having.
For those of you who have been aware of the universal laws of creation,
having a deeper sense that you are creator, your greatest challenge is
to
live this knowledge fully. The belief that you create your own reality
is
relatively new to this generation; therefore, it has yet to gain wider
acceptance. Until the population as a whole gains this understanding,
those
of you who are aware of your ability to manifest, are constantly
challenged
by the popular view that you are a victim of random events and that
life,
like the universe, in unpredictable and has a much greater power than
you
do. So many of you are still believing that the Universe can exert
itself
against you, even believing that misfortune and 'bad luck' is perhaps a
'karmic debt' that needs to be paid off as recompense for some nefarious
deed in the distant past of a past life. It is not that that you are not
creating consciously, for indeed you are. So many of you habitually
choose
to deny yourself, deny your divinity and to deny your ability. This is
conscious, it is a choice. When you do not get what you want, you often
go
to great lengths to justify why you cannot have the things that you
want.
Even those who love you will support you in these beliefs concerning
what
you can and cannot have. They will tell you that there is a lot of
'competition' or that the 'market' is slow, or that your chosen path is
always 'difficult' and a 'challenge'. What you then consciously choose
to
do is to agree with them.
It is not so that you are not consciously creating, much of your
self-deprecation and diminution is done regularly and consciously. Do
you
dare to be different? Be not afraid of your light, of your greatness,
you
are a child of God, you can create what you want!
