Attraction and Manifestation:

The Principles of Worldly Success

Questions:

1. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

We have hundreds of individuals helping us and waiting to help us. Angels, loved ones (both living and dead), pets, nature spirits, teachers, and Masters. Each contacts us with symbols, colors, mind pictures, and sensations. Still yourself and put pen or pencil to the space below. Start doodling and see what you have drawn to remind you of one of these allies. Or write what you remember of a spark of light or loving touch.

2. Why don’t we get what we pray or wish for immediately?

Sometimes we do! But that only happens when we are tuning into a thought form that is already in the works. Usually there is a minimal delay of six days (three days for our thoughts to affect Astral change, and three days for the Astral body to manifest change in the physical world). There are occasions when our helpers require time to channel the outcome. This is especially true if we are praying or wishing for something that involves the incomes and fortunes of many different people —money for instance. We want to receive the money without harming others and by routing the manifestation through blessed channels so that many people will benefit from our wish. Many steps must occur for such an arrangement to take place, and sometimes this requires a delay.

Now, the manifestation of a miracle bypasses all delays and protocols. The only thing required for miraculous help is perfect faith on your part, with no room for any trace of doubt.

3. What is the first necessity to being attractive?

All doubt, fear, and resistance must be cleansed from your being. These emotions attract the objects of their focus, and that means magnetizing the very thing that you wish to avoid. Good things cannot be served to you while your plate is full of bad things. You must make room for blessings by eliminating the possibility for undesirable elements in your life. Cleanse your aura daily of all negativity, doubt and fear to attract Divine Possibilities.

4. When you feel frustrated or dissatisfied, what should you do?

This indicates a block in your energy flow, causing an obstruction in your life. Examine where this barricade has manifested, and pray for insight as to its correlation within yourself. Your Guardian Angel is a wonderful source for this type of information. Sometimes we create impediments from simple conditioned responses (such as poverty consciousness) and memorized negative jokes. Other times the source is more subtle and complicated within us, such as addiction/compulsion. God leads us through every step to success, and we should always remember this. Remain open to Divine Guidance constantly.

5. Can we use the disciplines of Attraction to help others?

Yes, yes, yes! This creates wonderful karmic energy between you and increases your personal power. There is never any fault in affirming for someone else to achieve the Divine Design of his or her life. If someone asks for your prayers, this is a great opportunity to daily affirm for her or his success and to practice your visualization.

6. Which major initiation requires this power?

One must perfect this skill by the time one reaches the Sixth Degree of Initiation. Of course, it is a very handy skill to have, so developing it as soon as possible makes your living much easier and more convenient. A Master (6DI) has perfected all skills necessary to manifesting a perfect life. Also such a one has perfected all artistry, sciences, and literatures.

7. Meditation Exercise: The Gift—Something You Can Use.

•You are sitting in the room of your consciousness. Look around you. What colors and furnishings are there? What would you like to see there?

•There is a knock on your door. Open it. It is a delivery person, who has a package for you. Is the delivery person male or female? Describe the person.

•Receive the package and return to your room. How large is the package? What is its shape? How is it wrapped? Does it make a noise when you jiggle it? Who sent it to you?

•Open the package. Is it wrapped with any other layers? What color is under the package wrapping?

•Reveal the gift. What is it? Describe it. How can you use it?

•Write a thank you note to the sender.

What You Say Is What You Get

After lifetimes of feeling victimized, enslaved, and frustrated, we eventually catch a glimmer of the truth—we have fabricated our own suffering! Yet the way is often long and convoluted from that moment of understanding to the final skill of creating an existence of blessing, prosperity, health, and peace. Negativity is contagious, and (especially in the physical world) we are constantly being exposed to the thought viruses of fear, lack, pain, need, and illness. There is no secret answer to solve your unique mind-prison. There is no magic bullet to change you completely in a split second. You are both secret and bullet. Within you lies the answer—waiting to grow and work.

Each individual has a wonderful road of discovery to explore and to solve. It may seem arduous now, but at the end of the way, you will rejoice in the interesting adventures that have made you into a person of wisdom, patience, strength, and power. Each neurosis is a puzzle to solve. Each obstacle to success is a diagnosis of your personal disease to be healed. Your life is like one of those Russian dolls that open to reveal another doll hidden within. You will learn that there is enjoyment in the opening of your life and discovering the next phase to be solved and opened. In the beginning, you did this because of fear. In the end, you will do it because of the beauty.

Each power requires skill for its proper application and successful execution. Today we are addressing the power of attraction, which is very useful in manifesting the requirements of physical survival and success. You cannot begin to imagine how the members of the Hierarchy drill their students in this particular school of discipline. It requires great focus to be done creatively and continually.

Here are the disciplines as they are applied. It is up to you to remove your own barriers and to practice the skills that you need. Many of these disciplines require only seconds to execute. You can do them on the toilet. You can do them on the bus. You can do them waiting in line at the bank. Make good use of your “down” time in this way, and you will see for yourself whether or not the results are worth the mental flexing.

1. Remove all dread, fear, and resistance from your being. Not only do these negatives attract the objects of their focus, but they also generate illness in the body. The decks are not clear to success until this element is cleaned from the aura and consciousness. Make it a consistent daily exercise to cleanse yourself of this smudge. Daily cleaning prevents the negative energy from accumulating and gives you a fighting chance to succeed.

2. Create within your mind an oasis of sacred being. This should also be a daily (or even more frequent) activity. Anchor your identity to a symbol or a picture that represents your ideal self. You may say, “My Divine Design and myself are one.”

3. Create a positive map of the best life you can imagine. Most of us are caught in the programming of habitual negativity and family mythology. Our ability to imagine a better existence is severely limited. Still, one must begin somewhere. Imagine yourself happy and decide what elements would be necessary to achieve this. As you continue to apply this exercise throughout your life, your ability to image wonderful things for yourself and for the rest of the world will increase in beautiful ways.

4. Avoid elements that sap energy from your purpose. There can never be too much love, beauty, fun, or wellness in your life, but there can be too much shopping, clutter, running around, escape, and distraction. Cut them out of your time with a sharp knife. They are not friends.

5. Transform the paradigm of what you deserve. Karma is a flexible and highly conditional law. In the Aquarian Age we will have even more options for ameliorating our reservoir of negative energy. Even now it is possible to receive enlightenment without suffering, if we ask for it. Every person is entitled to a life of perfect existence—sweet love without bitterness, endless supply, perfect good health, and satisfaction in work that expresses one’s creative impulses. It was ordained before your first lifetime. It is dangling in front of you. Reach out and claim it.

6. Take responsibility for the behavior of those around you. Others respond to your energy. Your expectations of others unleash waves of influence that can turn a calm person cranky and a hostile person friendly. You have a field of influence in size according to your personal power. Unconscious people react quickly to your negative and positive thoughts. Once you understand this principle, you pave the way for much better relationships with the people at your work place, in traffic, and at home.

7. Solve your obstacles one at a time. How can you focus when your mind actively seeks to travel in many different directions? There is only this moment for you. Address the need that you have manifested and transform it into the answer. Root out the behaviors within you that gave rise to this situation. Affirm the way that it is supposed to be.

8. There is no such thing as wasted time. If you can learn patience, the world will seem like a toy in your hand. No event in human experience is worthy of worry or stress. The universe is yours to command (according to your personal influence) and hundreds of allies are working to make your perfect life come into being. Infinite Divine Mind is wiser than you are. Have the faith to allow your blessings to come to you. Use the waiting time to build up your strength, your health, and your virtue.

9. Bless without ceasing. In your car, watching TV, reading the news—bless all the people you meet, the earth you walk on, the buildings you use, and the food you eat. There can never be too much blessing, and you can never do too much of it.

10. Affirm, Affirm, Affirm. Remember that every word you uttered today was an affirmation. Your words created physical manifestation. What did you create? The discipline of The Word is one of the greatest of all works. It requires consciousness to correct your mistakes and to dissolve your barriers. Repetition of the right words requires energy and perseverance. When you have memorized an affirmation so that it automatically comes to mind when needed, your altitude of existence changes accordingly.
