From Gary Evans :
Feeling good for no other reason than feeling good is a wonderful
thing. And yes, your manifestations will find their way into your
life if you remain in a good feeling place.
But having them turn up faster is pretty much what we’re all
wanting, and so today I want to talk to you about being in
anticipation and how it can help you align with what you’re
wanting in a quicker way.
What I’m talking about is staying happy while in anticipation
of what you want.
If you can remain in a state of anticipation, you’ll see
miracles. It’s guaranteed. It’s law.
So, how do you do it? First raise your vibration to a point where
you feel abundance in your life. Raise your vibration so that
food tastes better. Raise your vibration so that you look and
feel better. Raise your vibration high enough so that you know
you’re in a state of appreciation and can easily think happy,
loving thoughts.
Then start feeling what it will feel like to not only have that
thing you want, but to expect it! Anticipate it being just around
the corner, and stay in that feeling place. The key is to remain
happy and not go down the road with thoughts like “but it’s
not here” and “where is my stuff?”.
Anticipate having and receiving your desire. Doesn’t it feel
wonderful?
Your work isn’t to take the action needed to bring it into
manifestation. You will be inspired into that action, and even if
you ever miss a door being opened to you, by remaining in
alignment with that which you’re wanting, you’ll have endless
doors open for you.
Law of Attraction’s job is to make it happen. Your work is to
get yourself in an emotional state of allowing it into your life.
So play more, be easy more and work a little less.

The Way It Is ?
Have you noticed the things you got handled you keep handling?
That's because your belief is congruent so your pattern of thought
and your expectations keep perpetuating the same things. The Law of
Attraction, which is the fundamental creative law of the universe,
says that the frequency you are emitting is constantly being
matched by other frequencies that are the same. So when you feel
the way you feel and you don't consciously change the thoughts that
cause you to feel the way you do, then you continue to experience
this habit of thought.
Unfortunately, most people do not change their patterns of belief
because most people perpetuate their patterns of belief through
their observation of WHAT IS. Here is what's happening: WHAT IS
surrounds you, then you observe it, then you offer more vibration
about it and the Law of Attraction gives you more of WHAT IS which
you observe and offer a vibration about it so the Law of Attraction
gives you more of WHAT IS, etc.
Then you compound the problem by saying that, "My life experience
has taught me that WHAT IS - IS! This is fact. This is just the
way it is".
That may or may not be true. It may be JUST THE WAY IT IS, but
what you need to understand is that JUST THE WAY IT IS, is
absolutely changeable, but you can't change JUST THE WAY IT IS if
you keep observing JUST THE WAY IT IS!
So how to you change this pattern? You change it by choice. You
choose to look at things the way you WANT them to be. You shift
your vibrational pattern by caring more about the way you FEEL
then you do about the "truth" or the "facts" that you are
observing. The way you FEEL is what activates the Law of
Attraction. If you do whatever you can to feel good and focus on
what you want instead of the WAY IT IS, you will attract what you
want. If you focus on THE WAY IT IS, you will attract more of the
WAY IT IS. It's as simple as that.
Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT! No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.
Truly Caring for Your Success!

Be happy now and your life will change!
From Dr. Robert Anthony
Everyone is looking for happiness.
Aristotle said: "Happiness is the meaning and the purpose
of life, the whole aim and end of human existence."
I even tell you that the key to changing your attention in
any moment is to "be happy now"...
But how happy are YOU?
Do you still feel as though you're SEEKING something else?
As though you aren't QUITE in the right place?
The potential for true happiness and freedom exists within
you *right now.*
But most people don't see it. Instead, they focus on the
problematic grey clouds. They never realize the beautiful
blue sky that always exists just behind them.
...
Let go of fears. Enjoy higher self-esteem. Embrace fantastic
relationships. Uncover the real you...

Struggle for life, or what ?
From Dr. Robert Anthony :
We are conditioned to believe that life is supposed to be hard. It
was designed to struggle. Struggle means you are courageous and
strong.
Struggle is like taking a cross country trip in your car with the
emergency brake on. You may get there, but you are burned out at
the end, and you missed most of the fun sights on the way.
As it turns out, struggle is highly overrated.
We hear inspirational stories about people who have "struggled
against all odds" to become successful. How often do we hear
positive things about the people who are successful because they DO
NOT struggle?
Struggle is life's treadmill.
The need to struggle and effort to get what we want is an illusion,
and like all other illusions (or assumptions) by their very nature
they keep us from seeing the truth that's right before us.
Struggle is trying to rearrange the world so that it aligns with
the way you think it should be. It is the greatest source of
unhappiness in our world today. It happens when you focus on what
you perceive you don't have, instead of embracing what you do have.
We live in a time of striking contrasts. There is tremendous
prosperity for some and outrageous poverty for others. We have so
much available to us, yet we continue to strive for more and more.
So what's going on? We must change our paradigm and see abundance
as a mind set. Abundance is waking up to the reality that you are
already the person you yearn to become and that you already have
everything you need in this moment.
The denial or more accurately the resistance to who you really are
is what keeps you struggling. Abundance is about falling in love
with WHOM and WHERE you are. It is focusing on all that you have
and not losing yourself in all that you don't have. In the end it
is this thought that allows you to create anything you desire.

Revolution Calling !
Here is another great article from Henk and Nicholas
STOP!!
January 20, 2010In the first half of the 20th century there was a Russian mystic called Gurdjieff. He was the teacher of P.D. Ouspensky who talks about him in his book The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin.
In it, Ouspensky touches upon the topic of reincarnation.
Now let me be clear upfront that the intention of this article is not to discuss the existence or the ‘what’, ‘why’, and ‘how’ of reincarnation…
It’s just that Ouspensky’s take on it makes up a nice intro to the rest that this article is going to be about…
Anyway, in his book, Ouspensky poses that reincarnation is not what we’re often led to think it is…
He says that instead of being born as someone else, we’re rather reborn to relive the exact same life we’ve always lived… over and over and over again… until we make a significant choice at one particular moment to do something differently than we’ve done it life after life.
Kind of like the basic principle of the movie Groundhog Day… (which I think you should watch sometime if you can, in case you haven’t seen it).
Based on this take, Ouspensky says that hell on earth is living life the way you’ve always lived it, and heaven on earth is breaking free of your long-standing patterns.
And as you probably know, it can take an enormous amount of energy, passion, determination, and will to even see patterns… let alone break free from them.
So that’s actually the thing that we’re trying to help you with through our materials:
We want you to be able to see those patterns in your own life… and then provide you with the information and tools (or point you to the ones) that we think can help you break free from those patterns.
And in the context of this topic of breaking free and creating the life you really want, many times we’ve also mentioned the importance of recognizing your ‘passion’, and knowing what you want… or at least, having some kind of vision of what you want in order to have some sense of direction.
Passion is in fact the fuel that drives you forward in life… the passion to experience… the passion to create value… the passion to invent… the passion to build something that has a life of its own… the passion to do something remarkable with your life… whatever it is that feels important to you.
But what has become abundantly clear over time, is that for many people, the process of ‘creating’ or ‘attracting’ what they want comes to a halt at this point already… simply because they say they have no idea about what they want… or can’t decide on anything.
Fact is however, that they do know… at least when they turn deeper within themselves and are prepared to be honest with themselves…
The thing is that it’s usually covered up by a lot of subconscious patterns and mechanisms that are basically pulled over their eyes to blind them from it… although every now and then it makes itself apparent.
Let me tell you a quick story:
Back in high school, I remember some friends of mine came with these books where each page is a picture (usually some abstract collage of colors at first sight) that has another picture underneath it that you can’t readily see…
You’re supposed to hold the book at a certain distance from your face, and then pull it slowly away without focusing on the picture… sort of looking through the picture… and then suddenly the picture slows up.
I could never do it, except for some occasional instances of success… It could drive me crazy! I could try and find it, but it never worked…
And then at one point, for no reason whatsoever that I can remember, I picked up one of those books, opened it to one of the pictures, and without trying it all… there it was! The other picture behind it just appeared!
But even after that, I couldn’t do it on a consistent basis…
At first I thought the trick was sneaking up on the book as if I wasn’t interested. But that didn’t turn out to work consistently… Putting my eyes out of focus didn’t work either. Sometimes it just came to me, but usually it didn’t.
I can’t say I consistently and diligently practiced it though… It was just never that important to me…
And that’s the key point of what I’m trying to get across here! That’s the key to really discovering your passion!
You see, passion is kind of similar to those pictures I mentioned… You can’t always see it. But sometimes it’ll come to you… usually at the most unexpected or inconvenient moment…
It can come to you in the strangest, most unpredictable ways. You can be standing on the corner about to walk across the street… You can be turning in your sleep, dreaming… You can be in the shower, packing a suitcase, engaging in ‘number two’, cleaning out your closet… etc.
And it’ll always be like that, unless you make it truly important!
If you really want to use it to your advantage… if you want to tap into that enormous resource for anything you want to do… if you want fuel to power any intention you have… if that’s what you want…
… then you must make it really important to you!
In fact, you must make it so important that you’ll do anything to see it for what it is. It’s being interested in it… deeply and genuinely interested in it… that’ll give you the power to see.
“So how do you do I do that then?”, you’ll probably ask…
Well, I’ll let you in on a simple little trick to get yourself going in a moment… Just hear me out, because I need to clarify a few details first…
You see, the actual problem of ‘not knowing what it is’ or ‘not seeing it’ is caused by these subconscious patterns that I mentioned. And like I said above, it can take an enormous amount of energy and determination to even see those patterns… let alone break free from them.
It’s kind of a catch-22:
- You try to see your adverse subconscious patterns, in order to be able to break free from them…
- Your adverse subconscious patterns make up virtual ‘blinders’ and prevent you from seeing them…
So if you want things to change for you, you definitely need to get out of that rut…
And there’s one basic thing that you absolutely must be able to do to make that happen… It’s a basic trick that’ll put you back in the driver’s seat and take the steering wheel!
Here’s the thing:
The very frustration that most people are feeling about their lives and their inability to change it can only be addressed once they’re able to see how completely identified they are with their ‘pain’ of not being satisfied with the way things are.
As long as you are your pain… and you can’t create enough distance from it to step back and ‘see yourself being in pain’ instead… you can never get free of it.
The ‘pain’, or ‘exhaustion’, or ‘frustration’, or ‘overwhelm’, or whatever negative state you find yourself in, is usually a subconsciously driven defensive reaction to something you feel threatened by… and that thus takes you away from being consciously present in the moment.
It’s a subconscious pattern, and it’ll keep playing out as long as you don’t deal with it. And in order to deal with it and break free from it, you need to find out what you feel threatened by…
But that’s a next step. Let’s stick to the most essential thing first:
First you need to actually put yourself in the position to see those patterns for what they are. This means that you need to take a step back and observe yourself… and then look… see… and listen… to discover what you feel threatened by…
Or rather, to discover what part of you feels threatened.
If you do this, and you do it seriously… let me tell you what you’re likely to discover:
- You’ll discover that the part of ‘you’ that feels threatened, is the ‘you’ who doesn’t want to be seen because he/she’s feeling so small…
- It’s the ‘you’ who doesn’t feel he/she’s up to it…
- It’s the ‘you’ who’s terrified of all the passion that you’ve got inside you that could blow you away in a flash!
And you know what?
Instead of ignoring that part like you’re told to do in many of the ‘positive thinking’ and ‘Law of Attraction’ schools of thought… that’s actually part of you that deserves more attention instead of less!
You can do that once you learn how to step back. I called it the ‘participant/observer’-method in an earlier article.
You need to take a step back into the ‘observer’ role, instead of getting caught up in the experience of the ‘participant’…
Because underneath that superficial take on your experience, you’ll find that there’s something really different going on.
You’ll discover that, no matter how you’re feeling at any particular point in time, whatever you’re doing, or whatever you’re afraid of doing… your passion is alive and well underneath, whatever it is that’s standing in the way…
It’s the connection with this passion that enables you to move through all of the inevitable external obstacles you’ll find in your way, which of course each come with their own set of internal obstacles to be overcome.
So to learn how to observe the form it takes at any particular point in time is one of the most essential things you can do… that you must do actually, if you want to put your creative power back into your own hands…
It’s actually one of the most empowering things you can ever do! If there’s any skill you need to learn to actively make a difference in yourself and in your life… this is it!
And to internalize this skill, here’s something you can practice:
Step 1:
First, whenever you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, resentful, ‘wrung out’, etc… just say to yourself: “See through it!”
That’s the first step…
Just see through it, and see what happens…
Step 2:
And secondly, just for three times a day… STOP. It’s as simple as that… You just STOP, whatever you’re doing.
Any time of the day is fine… any time at all. However, the best times for you to choose to STOP would be the times when for instance:
- You feel completely consumed by something you’re doing…
- You feel dreading or dreading the prospect of something you need to do…
- You feel frustrated…
- You feel overwhelmed…
- You feel exhausted…
- You feel ‘wrung out’…
- You feel angry…
- And so on…
Basically, whenever you feel identified with your moods…
And when you feel that, you just STOP!!
And then you look… listen… see…
This will not just enable you to ‘see through it’, as I mentioned above…
But more importantly, with practice, something amazing will happen:
- You’ll see how absolutely consumed you are with your moods, thoughts, emotions…
- You’ll see how they eat up your passion by filling the space with something else to do…
- You’ll find out that there’s more passion than you’ve ever imagined underneath your moods… more than enough to fuel whatever it is that you want to do!
- You’ll see that you’re not your emotions… not your feelings… not your thoughts… not your moods.
- You’ll see that you’re the silence in between… something apart from them that is more alive than you can possibly imagine!
It’s taking this observer point of view that’ll enable you to see all this…
When I got more adept at this myself… I literally saw myself. And then I sawseeing myself. And then I saw that I was seeing myself seeing myself. myself
This may sound crazy, but it’s absolutely remarkable. It’s an experience of awesome clarity, where you see yourself as separate from ‘yourself’… or the ‘self’ that you think you are… the identity that you have in this world.
It’s a new dimension to your experience… a fourth dimension if you will… almost like a parallel universe to the one we live in.
This ‘observer’ point of view is the foundation for a completely new relationship to life.
- You’ll see that any ‘pain’, ‘frustration’, ‘exhaustion’, ‘overwhelm’, whatever negative state that you may find yourself in… is nothing but a strategy… and certainly not a result.
- You’ll see that it’s a defensive strategy that covers up the fact that you have a big hand in ‘creating’ your life…
- You’ll see that it’s a subconscious defense mechanism blinding you from the truth that you may find hard to face, because it leaves no alternative but to take full responsibility…
- In fact, you’ll see that it covers up the fear… and in many cases, the being ‘totally terrified’ of being ‘All You Can Be’.
In the words of Marianne Williamson:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It’s our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We’re all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Now that’s a revolution…

Attention and Goals
Great articles from Thomas Herold :
Surprising things happen every day. They not only happen in secret faraway places, they happen all around you. Beyond the physical world that you can see, beyond your thoughts and emotions, there exists another world. A world of pure potential, a place where anything and everything are possible.
Diving Into Matter, Mind & Spirit
As children we see the future as always bright, an empty screen upon which we paint whatever we wish. Everything around us cries out to be explored, and it is exciting to dive into this fascinating world. Once we grow older this fascination turns into dead knowledge, leaving us with no free attention to explore anything further. Our pioneering spirit is gone. Everything seems to be limited and constricted. We believe everything has been explored already.
We have lost the capacity for joy in experiencing our unlimited potential.
In order to gain back what we once had as children but somehow lost as adults, it is necessary that we understand the three levels, or domains, of existence. Adapted from the book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra.
1. The Physical Domain
This is the world that we can see, smell and hear. It is the world of the material and the visible, and it is bound by the laws of physics. Every event has a beginning, a present and an end. Everything happens for a reason and is determined by cause and effect. It is Newton's predictable clockwork universe operating with supreme regularity and according to universal principles.
2. The Quantum Domain
On this level everything consists of information and energy. The material world is a subset of this quantum world, and is demonstrated in Einstein's remarkable equation E=MC2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light, squared. Matter is made up of molecules, which in turn are comprised of smaller units called atoms.
The latest research now shows that even atoms are made up of smaller particles called quarks, and that these quarks have no solidity at all. Scientists, in their unceasing exploration of ever finer and subtler states of energy, are even beginning to speculate about 'unveiling' the so-called God particle!
It turns out that the more physicists explore smaller and smaller units of mass/energy, the more relative space there is between the things that make up the basic stuff of the universe. It now appears that the universe is almost entirely empty space, punctuated here and there by bits of things we call quanta, and the collections of quanta that go on to make up atoms and molecules.
If it is all empty space, how is it possible to sit on a chair?
Imagine a fan sitting on the floor in front of you. When the fan is on, you see a solid disk and you cannot put your hand through it. However you know that this is an illusion created by the motion of the fan’s blades. In reality, what makes up the ‘disk’ of ‘solid’ matter is mostly just space. It is the frequency of motion that gives us the illusion of things being solid. On a quantum level, where we deal with the speed of light, the effect is easily explained.
Our senses are much too slow to notice the infinite slices of space the fan blades occupy as they rotate, just as we fail no notice that motion pictures are just separate still frames arranged and shown at a particular frequency. Movies are, in reality, just pictures, and when you run them at a certain speed they give you the illusion of moving.
In reality these two domains—the physical domain and the quantum domain—are not different at all, they are just perceived differently by us. It is our consciousness that creates the illusion of a solid world. If you had quantum eyes you could actually see that everything merges into everything. Everything interacts with everything else in this floating world of quantum reality.
3. The Nonlocal Domain
The last level or domain consists of nothing less than consciousness itself. It is the spiritual domain, the unlimited field of infinite possibility and potential. At this level, time and space do not exist. It is nonlocal because there is no way of telling where and when it exists. It is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. This tends to be a hard concept for our dualistic mind to grasp.
This is the organizing force behind all things in the universe. As you read these lines, your mind is busy decoding and understanding this universe and taking some stabs at localizing itself within the larger framework that is essentially nonlocal in nature.
- Who is doing the reading?
- Where does your attention come from?
Your Presence is Seperate From Your Thought
If you explore this phenomenon further, you will come to understand that there is a presence in you that is always experiencing. It is a presence that is separate from your thoughts, from your feelings and from everything else.
This presence is the nonlocal domain from which everything originates. It is the infinite source of possibility and potential. It is you, without name, without concepts, without beliefs, without anything your mind could think of.
When you learn to live from this level of existence you are the one manifesting everything. You are the wizard - and remarkable revelations at this level become almost ordinary and normal.
Take a closer look at the atomic level and you will see that every particle is also a wave. This is called partial wave duality, or as some physicists like to call it, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. It turns out that just at the exact moment that something is observed, this wave-particle is in a state of pure potential. When observed, the potential 'collapses' into a single entity—either as a particle or a wave.
The Act of Observing
For now, let’s shift to a more practical level. It is the act of observation—your attention—that turns possibilities into reality. Without consciousness, everything would only exist as undefined potential or raw energy. Whatever you observe—place your attention on—turns into reality. Literally! You can also call this the essence of manifesting.
Now you understand why it is so important where you put your attention, and it is even more important what intentions you have. You are the designer, you create the blueprint that turns your thoughts into reality.
I am sure you understand the idea of setting goals in life to empower yourself. Perhaps what you don't know is that goals require a constant stream of force behind them to keep them alive. In other words, you need to push them all the time to make them come true.
Constantly pushing of your goals, while necessary, is also detrimental to the effective manifestation of the goals themselves. Goals are artificially created by the mind and backed up by the concepts and beliefs that allow them to work.
Take away the concepts and beliefs that give them the foundation to live and your goals will evaporate in no time at all.
How Does This Look Like in Practice?
Let’s assume you've set a goal to lose weight. As you may already know, it is important to set each goal precisely. So losing weight, like any goal, should include exact particulars of what you want to accomplish. Let’s say you want to lose 25 pounds over the next three months, starting today. This goal needs a foundation to work. You need to have some sort of motivation that encourages you to accomplish this goal.
Perhaps one or more of the following acts as your motivation to lose the weight:
· You want to look attractive to others
· You want to look attractive to your partner
· You believe that you are overweight
· You want to fit into your favorite dress or pants again
You need a reason to lose the weight, something that can motivate you to achieve your goal. Whatever the reason behind the goal, you absolutely need to have one, otherwise you won’t have the motivation to even start.
Think of the reason as the decision to change something in your life and the motivation as the energy that affects that change.
The mere act of starting on any goal can be incredibly challenging as it involves being willing to change some of your usual behaviors and concepts in life. We all know what a challenge changing your behavior and concepts can be!
Behavior is changed in the physical domain while concepts are changed in the mental domain. This double whammy of both the physical and the mental is what makes a simple life change like weight loss such a challenge to bring off successfully.
Successful goals always come from a corresponding change in the mental domain.
Why is This?
Simply put, it is because your mind and your thoughts are what create your reality. If you change only your behavior, you will have only short-term success. In time, you will fall back into your old patterns of behavior – the very thing you tried to change in the first place!
So let's assume you are in the second month of your weight loss goal and your partner leaves you. What happens to your goal about losing weight? It doesn’t matter anymore, it diminishes and evaporates into thin air. You just took away both the foundation and the energy for accomplishing your goal. You no longer have a reason and you've lost your motivation.
The problem with goals is that they depend on life circumstances – and they are always forced by mental concepts.
How About Dreams?
Your dreams are powered by Source, by the ultimate power of consciousness. Your dreams are the recognition of what you can do with the unique gifts and talents you have brought into this life. Every person exists with a unique set of talents. These talents lead to a unique way of expressing themselves through various forms of creativity. Universal creativity is really what powers everything behind all manifestation.
With this creativity you are able to serve other people, and in return, you get rewarded with a form of energy. In Western civilization, the most common reward is often money, but creative rewards often come in many other energetic forms like status and recognition, authority, greater outreach to others and more.
In Summary:
You discover your strengths, gifts and talents. You find ways to use them that enrich and support society in practical ways. You are in service to others for serving others in this way is truly life’s ultimate purpose.
Your dreams are powered by your unique creative abilities. These abilities are like a never-ending fountain, the wellspring of your life. They will always be with you, in good times and bad. They are completely apart from and independent of mental concepts. They are powered by your true nature. You can deny them, but you can’t get rid of them.
Even on the worst day of your life, your dreams still exist. If you don’t live your dreams, you must constantly suppress them by engaging in mental concepts like:
· I am too old to start
· I don’t know how to do it
· Nobody will be interested in it
· My friends will hate me when I do it
· You name it!
I have used the words force and power in association with goals and dreams. To understand the concepts behind these words, I highly recommend David Hawkins' book Power Versus Force. Here are a few definitions from the book that help explain the idea of power versus force:
· Force is associated with the partial, power with the whole
· Force must always be justified, power requires no justification
· Force always creates counter-force and its effect is limited by definition
· Force is a movement, power is a skill
· Force always moves against something, power doesn’t move against anything at all
· Force is incomplete and therefore has to be fed energy constantly
· Power is total and complete in itself and requires nothing from outside
· Force constantly consumes while power energizes, supplies and supports
· Pow er gives life and energy, force takes these away
· Power is associated with compassion, force is associated with judgment
· Force requires proof and support, power is inarguable and not subject to proof
People who fulfill their dreams are the happiest people on earth.
They do what’s in their nature. In the end, it is completely irrelevant to them what kind of dreams they have. Dreams don’t need to fit into anything. They don’t need any approval. They don’t need any money to start.
Goals are temporary fixes of your mental desires that do not provide you with lasting happiness. The new car will get old and rusty, the new house will lose its charm over time, and if your goal is to create the perfect partner, you will begin to see your partner’s imperfections over time as well.
Your dreams are a recognition of what you truly are and how you can contribute to this world. You will never do anything else in life more important than this. In fact, in a very real sense there is nothing else in life but this. There is no true retirement from the contributions you can make in this life. You literally live the dream that is your life to your very last breath.
Why not start today to live your dreams in earnest?

- How Your Attention Turns Possibilities Into Reality
Surprising things happen every day. They not only happen in secret faraway places, they happen all around you. Beyond the physical world that you can see, beyond your thoughts and emotions, there exists another world. A world of pure potential, a place where anything and everything are possible.
Diving Into Matter, Mind & Spirit
As children we see the future as always bright, an empty screen upon which we paint whatever we wish. Everything around us cries out to be explored, and it is exciting to dive into this fascinating world. Once we grow older this fascination turns into dead knowledge, leaving us with no free attention to explore anything further. Our pioneering spirit is gone. Everything seems to be limited and constricted. We believe everything has been explored already.
We have lost the capacity for joy in experiencing our unlimited potential.
In order to gain back what we once had as children but somehow lost as adults, it is necessary that we understand the three levels, or domains, of existence. Adapted from the book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra.
1. The Physical Domain
This is the world that we can see, smell and hear. It is the world of the material and the visible, and it is bound by the laws of physics. Every event has a beginning, a present and an end. Everything happens for a reason and is determined by cause and effect. It is Newton's predictable clockwork universe operating with supreme regularity and according to universal principles.
2. The Quantum Domain
On this level everything consists of information and energy. The material world is a subset of this quantum world, and is demonstrated in Einstein's remarkable equation E=MC2. Energy equals mass times the speed of light, squared. Matter is made up of molecules, which in turn are comprised of smaller units called atoms.
The latest research now shows that even atoms are made up of smaller particles called quarks, and that these quarks have no solidity at all. Scientists, in their unceasing exploration of ever finer and subtler states of energy, are even beginning to speculate about 'unveiling' the so-called God particle!
It turns out that the more physicists explore smaller and smaller units of mass/energy, the more relative space there is between the things that make up the basic stuff of the universe. It now appears that the universe is almost entirely empty space, punctuated here and there by bits of things we call quanta, and the collections of quanta that go on to make up atoms and molecules.
If it is all empty space, how is it possible to sit on a chair?
Imagine a fan sitting on the floor in front of you. When the fan is on, you see a solid disk and you cannot put your hand through it. However you know that this is an illusion created by the motion of the fan’s blades. In reality, what makes up the ‘disk’ of ‘solid’ matter is mostly just space. It is the frequency of motion that gives us the illusion of things being solid. On a quantum level, where we deal with the speed of light, the effect is easily explained.
Our senses are much too slow to notice the infinite slices of space the fan blades occupy as they rotate, just as we fail no notice that motion pictures are just separate still frames arranged and shown at a particular frequency. Movies are, in reality, just pictures, and when you run them at a certain speed they give you the illusion of moving.
In reality these two domains—the physical domain and the quantum domain—are not different at all, they are just perceived differently by us. It is our consciousness that creates the illusion of a solid world. If you had quantum eyes you could actually see that everything merges into everything. Everything interacts with everything else in this floating world of quantum reality.
3. The Nonlocal Domain
The last level or domain consists of nothing less than consciousness itself. It is the spiritual domain, the unlimited field of infinite possibility and potential. At this level, time and space do not exist. It is nonlocal because there is no way of telling where and when it exists. It is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. This tends to be a hard concept for our dualistic mind to grasp.
This is the organizing force behind all things in the universe. As you read these lines, your mind is busy decoding and understanding this universe and taking some stabs at localizing itself within the larger framework that is essentially nonlocal in nature.
- Who is doing the reading?
- Where does your attention come from?
Your Presence is Seperate From Your Thought
If you explore this phenomenon further, you will come to understand that there is a presence in you that is always experiencing. It is a presence that is separate from your thoughts, from your feelings and from everything else.
This presence is the nonlocal domain from which everything originates. It is the infinite source of possibility and potential. It is you, without name, without concepts, without beliefs, without anything your mind could think of.
When you learn to live from this level of existence you are the one manifesting everything. You are the wizard - and remarkable revelations at this level become almost ordinary and normal.
Take a closer look at the atomic level and you will see that every particle is also a wave. This is called partial wave duality, or as some physicists like to call it, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. It turns out that just at the exact moment that something is observed, this wave-particle is in a state of pure potential. When observed, the potential 'collapses' into a single entity—either as a particle or a wave.
The Act of Observing
For now, let’s shift to a more practical level. It is the act of observation—your attention—that turns possibilities into reality. Without consciousness, everything would only exist as undefined potential or raw energy. Whatever you observe—place your attention on—turns into reality. Literally! You can also call this the essence of manifesting.
Now you understand why it is so important where you put your attention, and it is even more important what intentions you have. You are the designer, you create the blueprint that turns your thoughts into reality.
- The #1 Reason Why Most Goals Never Manifest
I am sure you understand the idea of setting goals in life to empower yourself. Perhaps what you don't know is that goals require a constant stream of force behind them to keep them alive. In other words, you need to push them all the time to make them come true.
Constantly pushing of your goals, while necessary, is also detrimental to the effective manifestation of the goals themselves. Goals are artificially created by the mind and backed up by the concepts and beliefs that allow them to work.
Take away the concepts and beliefs that give them the foundation to live and your goals will evaporate in no time at all.
How Does This Look Like in Practice?
Let’s assume you've set a goal to lose weight. As you may already know, it is important to set each goal precisely. So losing weight, like any goal, should include exact particulars of what you want to accomplish. Let’s say you want to lose 25 pounds over the next three months, starting today. This goal needs a foundation to work. You need to have some sort of motivation that encourages you to accomplish this goal.
Perhaps one or more of the following acts as your motivation to lose the weight:
· You want to look attractive to others
· You want to look attractive to your partner
· You believe that you are overweight
· You want to fit into your favorite dress or pants again
You need a reason to lose the weight, something that can motivate you to achieve your goal. Whatever the reason behind the goal, you absolutely need to have one, otherwise you won’t have the motivation to even start.
Think of the reason as the decision to change something in your life and the motivation as the energy that affects that change.
The mere act of starting on any goal can be incredibly challenging as it involves being willing to change some of your usual behaviors and concepts in life. We all know what a challenge changing your behavior and concepts can be!
