Chapter 8 - Living From Inspiration & Receiving Your Good
I have mentioned in my other books that you do not need to have a very “strong” intention, but you do need to have clear intentions. If you stated your intention just once, and never worried about it ever again, things will still happen very quickly for you. The wait becomes optional, and the circumstances under which things come into your life can only be described as miraculous, or even magical. There is nothing impossible for the Universe. As I recount in my book “The Magic Feeling”, the Universe knows of no physical time or space limitations, and always knows the perfect way to deliver your desires to you.
Therefore, what you do in those 10 - 15 minutes of visualization or meditation is the “asking”. And what you do in the remaining 15 hours of your waking life is the “receiving”. You can only receive what is in line with your highest desires if you are not clouded with contradictory, worrying thoughts. The way to feel good most of the time is to learn how to deal with negative thoughts and feelings as they occur. Recognize that you have the power, ability and choice to substitute a negative thought for a better-feeling one. Keep substituting one thought for another until you reach that awesome good-feeling place! If you do so consistently, you put yourself in a state where manifestations occur very easily for you.
The strangest thing (and strongest confirmation) about being in this state is that you don’t even care whether your physical manifestations occur! You’re just feeling good, going about your day, knowing that you are able to bridge the gaps of time and space and access the “feelings” associated with what you want at will. You feel an inexplicable amount of energy and inspiration. You look at everything and feel one with it. You accept everything and want to change nothing. Everything is perfect, just the way it is. You feel inspired to do certain things, go to certain places, or connect with certain people. Follow those impulses. Everything arises of its own accord, as if there is a Universal force coordinating everything. And indeed there is. There is no strain involved. Remember the words I received while I was in meditation? “Relax… not strain”. There is no strain involved in all of life.
How can we get to and live from this state of inspiration? First, know that you can get there if you are willing to give up your negative, worrying fear thoughts. Those thoughts seemed normal to you in the past, but now they no longer serve your highest good. So make a consistent effort to replace one negative, worrying thought as it arises with a better feeling one, and another one… until those negative thoughts no longer have any “pull” on you. Hold intentions of “love” or abundance” as often as possible, and immerse yourself in the feelings of it for longer and longer periods each day. You can do this anywhere, while you’re at work, working at the computer or standing in line at the store. As you play with this often, you bridge the gap and blur the lines between your current reality and where you want to be.
As I close this book, take this once again as an invitation to play in the great Universe of life. And hold these truths close to your heart, for only you can prove them to yourself!
