Manifestation and the Importance of Living in the Present

 Do you sometimes observe your mind? In the ancient Vedic scripture Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna says to Arjuna “One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself. The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well. For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy.”

When you start observing your mind first thing you might notice is that you don’t control it. How many times you have read something, sometimes even trying to really concentrate on the subject, but then you caught yourself thinking about something completely different at the same time?

You can observe your mind, because you are not your mind, as you are not your body (This article is not about “You are not your body” subject. I wrote more about it in “Introduction to Manifestation”)

To manifest what you want you need to control your mind. You need to concentrate, meditate and visualize often. You need to focus on the things you want to manifest. If you allow your mind to jump freely from one subject to another, like a monkey from tree to tree, it will take you long time to achieve your goals.

One aspect of this is importance of living in the NOW. You can notice that we often think about the past, and when we think about the past we tend to think about “old good times”. There are not “old good times”.

We simply forget about bad times and think about good times mostly, because it allows us to escape from the present reality and live in happy illusion.

The point is that the past, happy or sad is dead. We can’t change it. It also doesn’t have any value for our manifesting purposes. Of course we can hopefully learn from our past mistakes, but that’s it, otherwise dwelling on the past is just a waste of time.

If we don’t think about the past we usually think about the future. Often we are afraid of the future, sometimes we look at the future with hope. But the future is made in the present. We need to start living in the present and concentrate on the present. We need to be happy now.
If we are happy now, we build our happy future. Because of that it is very important to gradually control the mind and to live in the now; try to be happy now.

We can easily change our mind’s states. We can listen to some good music which we like, we can think about someone we love or we can look at something beautiful. Whatever helps you to feel happy, and the most important we can visualize the things we want in the future as already achieved.
A good way to get in the good mood is to do some simple yogic breathing exercises, which very quickly help to achieve peace and control of the mind.

Another good way is to practice gratitude for the things you have and the things you would like to have. You cannot feel unhappy when you feel grateful.

There are many different methods, but to start manifesting the things you want easily and quickly it’s good to find a good mentor or course, and follow the instructions. Reading about manifestation, the law of attraction and self improvement is always good, but the best is to take action and apply what you have learned.

Law of Attraction – From Zero to Tens of Thousands

Do you feel stuck and frustrated?  Most people do.  A lack of money can get most people to feel stagnant and quite frustrated about life.  If you could change your situation from one of lack to one where money is flowing into your life would you take the steps?

A few months ago I met someone who was quite frustrated in his life.  He had a very funny statement which he repeated very often and it goes like this.  “Now if only I could just get some money then I would….” 
The funny thing about this man is that he knew the law of attraction and he knew quite a few things that most people don’t even have a clue about.  Yet every time he made that statement he was informing the universe of what he did not want.  He was no doubt vibrating from a place of lack and the law of attraction made that very clear in his life.

Quite honestly despite his vast knowledge of the law of attraction and deeper metaphysical science he was stuck.  He could not seem to get out of the rut and his deep dark miserable circumstances.  All of that did change when he learned to apply a simple technique that altered those gloomy thought patterns in his space.
Most people experience feelings of being stuck.  Although they know that certain steps need to be applied they cannot shift their old energetic state.  The old energy of lack and poverty lingers like a dark cloud and that needs to be washed down. 

There are techniques that do cleans those old negative debris that must be dealt with first before the new circumstances can manifest.  It does require an easy daily practice but once it is done the changes begin to show in such a magnificent way.

All knowledge and no practice leads to an understanding without results.  Many people are like this, they acquire lots of knowledge but never use it.  Many times the knowledge is incomplete.  What makes the knowledge complete is having an actual technique a step by step plan to make that knowledge work. 
With applying the law of attraction a person must learn the actual technique and go immediately into practicing it. 

Eventually I told him.  I made it clear to him what he was doing.  Luckily for both of us he accepted without resistance and I showed him the clear techniques to increase his own thought power, while eliminating the negative energy and circumstances which he had previously created. 

The results were outstanding.  He diligently went about the techniques and within a matter of days things took off.  He kept it up and within months he was making a very hefty amount of money.  Far more money than he has ever seen in his lifetime.

He is remarkable proof that the techniques to applying the law of attraction once understood can and do create outstanding results.

Using the law of attraction to manifest what you want is powerful granted you apply the necessary techniques.  Almost everyone can run but not everyone can run a marathon.  The difference is that it takes right knowledge of breathing and particular ways of running and without this knowledge you are guaranteed if anything to fail.  Using the law of attraction to manifest is the same.

Law of Attraction – Increase Your Mind Power over Money

 In order to fully master the law of attraction one must become aware of how the mind works in relation to our physical reality.  The mind is the power station for all our experiences. 

The mind can be compared to the hard drive of a computer.  It stores all the impressions that you experience throughout your life time.  Whatever you may have witness while growing up with your parents, the stories that others have shared with you, all these are impressions that are held in the mind.  Whether those impressions are good or seemingly bad they remain in the mind of the individual and influences that person’s experience of life. 

How you experience money is directly influenced by the information you have been fed about money and became stored in your mind.  One of the hardest applications of the law of attraction is in trying to attract more money.  Most people can attest to having a very hard time in attracting the amount they desire.  However, if you understand how the mind works you can then learn to over ride whatever impressions that are blocking you from attracting what you desire. 


To truly gain results with the law of attraction you must learn to examine yourself.  See yourself and your thoughts as a massive amusement park, be excited to explore yourself.  The more you investigate the reason behind your feelings and the actions that you take the more self control you will begin to develop.  Before you can take the steps to change any part of yourself you need to first be aware of your actions and the reason behind your actions.  No one else can do that for you!

Get a journal and begin questioning yourself:
 What are your thoughts about money?
What feelings come into your body when you think of my present financial situations?
How do you feel about your financial future?
What was your first impression you had of money?

How to Apply Mental Training
One of the biggest failures in applying the law of attraction is the inability to train the mind on a consistent basis.  An untrained mind has very little magnetic power to attract. Even just a few minutes a day will build up magnetic mental power that takes much less effort to attract than a mind that has not been trained. 
See mental training like the training of your physical body. The more you train your body the better it performs and the more power it has.

Inner and Outer Training
In order to attract more money, more freedom it’s necessary to train the mind to also see it in your present environment.  It’s very easy for most people to make a study of poverty and to complain about their own financial woes but very rarely do people draw the impression of wealth into their mind.  If you just sit for a few moments and observe the lifestyles of those who are successful at attracting wealth you will slowly find your old impressions beginning to change.  The mind will receive those impressions and slowly begin to replace the old worn out impression you have of money that do not work.

Foundations Of The Law Of Attraction

The Lord Buddha said “All that we are is the result of what we have thought",  the Darby Bible Translation tells us that Job, 3: 25 of the old testament, declared, “For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.” It seems that both Buddha and Job understood the eternal workings of the Law Of Attraction. However, unlike the enlightened Buddha, Job, like the majority of people today, suffered the dire consequences of not using this law to his advantage!

The Law Of Attraction at its very basic level states that everything is created by thought and that thought attracts to itself, physical things, people, situations and circumstances. Your thoughts are attracting these things in this very moment!

However, we do not just create and attract the material things that enter our lives, we also create the body we occupy, the personality we display and, ultimately, the person we are and we do it all through our thoughts. Are you creating the life you desire & becoming the person you wish to be or are you like Job and bringing upon you all manner of woes because you are giving your attention to them? Perhaps you are even identifying yourself as a victim and refusing to acknowledge the Law and use it consciously!

The Law Of Attraction is not as big a Secret, as the hit movie would have you believe. It has been around since the dawn of time and is an unbending, ever-present rule of the Universe. You cannot escape it! There is a great body of evidence that suggests mankind has known about, and utilised, the great Law for about 7000 years. However, the teaching of universal truths did become clouded for many hundreds, if not thousands, of years by greedy self-serving dogmatists that wished to keep control of the masses and was actually banned at one point.

It was largely at the beginning of the 20th century that the general public started to become aware of this great law due to the diligence, fortitude, integrity and grace of writers such as James Allen (1864-1912),  Napoleon Hill (1883-1970) and Charles Haanel (1866-1949).

Wallace D. Wattles (1860 – 1911) was another pioneer of free thinking. In his great work “The Science of Getting Rich” Wattles states a great truth, “There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought.” How revolutionary that statement was in 1910.

Haanel set out in a 24 part correspondence course, which is now condensed into one volume called “The Master Key System“, a complete guide to successfully using the Law Of Attraction! It was banned by the Church in 1933 due to its revelations. This is allegedly the book Bill Gates read before he created Microsoft!

Napoleon Hill revealed Andrew Carnegie’s great Secret to the world - that thoughts create things - when he wrote “Think & Grow Rich” in 1937 (although it had taken him 25 years to complete).

James Allen wrote his famous work in 1912 and in “As a Man Thinketh” he tells people that “mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.”
However, although the teachings have been around for thousands of years and they have been readily and easily available to the general public for almost a century the great majority of people do not take the time to learn the workings of probably the most powerful physical law in the Universe.

I think you owe it to yourself to delve deeper into this mysterious Universe and learn as much as you can about the laws that govern your life. When you truly understand the Law Of Attraction and begin to work with it for you personal advantage, I promise you, your life will change in fantastic, unexpected and unlimited ways.
