It is really easy to get stuck early on when you are testing out this whole deliberate creation thing. Forcing your thoughts to become something tangible is an uphill battle that requires far too much effort to be of any real fun. I have found more success relaxing into the process rather than forcing it into fruition.
Control Your Focus
For me, it has been more important to gain control over my focus. When you are looking to create money, it does not really help to focus on the fact that it is not in the bank yet. When you are looking for a lover, it does not really help to focus on the fact that they are not in your bed yet. When you are seeking justice, it does not really help all that much to focus on the injustice all around you.
The Hot Tub Analogy
You would not walk up to a hot tub on a frigid day, stick your toe in, notice the heater was not on and the water was freezing, and then jump in anyway and start complaining about how cold you were. No, you dip your toe in and then immediately remove it and figure out how to turn the heater on. You remove yourself from the immediate problem and focus on finding the solution.
And then, once the heater is found, you do not flip the switch and immediately jump in the water, getting upset that it is still cold. You understand that the water takes a little time to warm up. You have fixed the problem, but there is a gestation period before you will be ready to soak with warm comfort.
This Is Why News Is Toxic
This is why watching the news for any extended period of time can be so toxic. It is like jumping into the cold hot tub without ever getting out to check the heater. It is too easy to freeze to death when all you are focusing on is the problem.
Subjective reality creation or any collective progress relies on individuals thinking their own thoughts and refusing to bandwagon before they have done their own research or study. It is the only way personal power is possible.
Imagination Is Vital
To turn thoughts into things requires a softening of focus from what is right in front of you, or what the collective thought pattern is, and a sharpening of focus into an imaginary world that is all your own. Imagination is vitally important to the process of creation.
Without it, you just have empty prayers and copycat statements of divide. To create anew, you must see the thing you wish in greater clarity than the thing currently sitting in front of you or the imaginary cannot be birthed into your experience.
The Balancing Act
Creation of any kind at its purest levels is a balancing act of seeing what you want in your imagination more often than seeing what you do not want in your reality. It requires intense dedication to taking ownership over your thought processes.
And once you have imagined a desired outcome with intense focus for 5 to 15 minutes and revisited it constantly throughout your day, then you must completely release the specifics of it, and certainly any concept of how it will show up, then trust that whatever shows up next is serving to bring forth your imagined reality from the template plane into the physical realm.
Clarity Is the Answer
What you are seeking from that moment of imagined reality moving forward is not the manifestation of money, lovers, or utopia. What you are seeking, expecting, and allowing to flow forth is incredible clarity of thought, ease of action, and purity of willpower.
In that moment of observing too quickly without opening faith that a bridge from here to your imagined future is in progress and being built, you cut yourself off from clarity. You immediately step into a place of efforting, taking uninspired actions, and complaining because you did not see clarity of thought as a viable answer to your prayers.
Redefining Abundance
The abundance we all seek is not money in the bank. Abundance is knowing exactly what you need to know in the exact moment you need to know it. It is fluidity of thought. It is confidence. It is inspiration, motivation, and flow. It is great timing and perfectly landed words.
Redefining abundance in this way has allowed me to consistently fall into incredible opportunities, because I follow my intuitions rather than my fears. My excitement rather than my pocket book. And everything that I consider to be abundance is created by me. I never have to wait to receive those gifts. They are forever at my command.
